Chapter Twenty
Opening Night
A week before Jack's play opened, Jack was practicing his lines with the help of Karen.
"So where were we Kare?" Jack asked as they came into the room after eating dinner.
"I think where you talk to Roxie's husband, Andy.Alvin." Karen answered.
Jack laughed and said, "His name's Amos."
"Oh, well yeah, that's where we left off," Karen said, settling down on an armchair with a script.
"All right, I'll start," Jack said, closing his eyes. He thought for a minute and then said, "Well, hello, Andy."
"'Amos. My name is Amos,'" Karen read from the script.
"That's right. Have a seat," Jack said.
For the next hour or so, the two went over Jack's lines numerous times until he stopped saying, "I think that's good enough. Thanks Kare." He walked over to where she was sitting and kissed her. Then he kneeled in front of her and kissed her stomach before standing up.
"I was wondering poodle, where have you been practicing your dancing for the play?" Karen asked.
"Here sometimes," Jack said. "But you've never been here when I practice."
"Well then why don't you show me a little something Jackie?" Karen asked, smiling.
"Nice try Kare," Jack answered, leaning over and kissing the tip of her nose. She had been trying to get him to show her his dancing from the play ever since he had started rehearsing. "You'll see my dancing in a week," he said smiling.
Karen sighed and then stood up. "Okay, I guess I can wait," she said.
Jack put his arm around her waist and asked, "How are you feeling?"
Rolling her eyes, but smiling, Karen answered, "I'm fine and the baby's fine. You don't need to ask me that every single day Jackie. If anything's wrong, you'll know first thing."
"I can't help it Kare," Jack said, drawing her to him. "I want everything to go perfectly for you."
"Don't worry poodle," Karen said, kissing his chin. "I'll be fine."
~~~
The night of the play's opening; Jack was sitting in his dressing room, trying to keep himself relaxed. When there was a knock on the door, he nearly jumped out of his chair. "Who is it?" he asked.
"Me, Jackie," Karen said from the other side.
Jack got out of his seat quickly and opened the door to let Karen inside. "Did the others get here okay?" he asked.
"They're in their seats," Karen said smiling as Jack sat down in his chair. "How are you?"
"I'm okay, a little nervous," Jack said truthfully.
Karen walked over to him and then sat down on his lap. "You'll do great poodle," she said. "I've got a feeling about that."
Jack smiled and then leaned forward, kissing her, when the door suddenly opened.
"Oh, sorry Jack," Zach said, coming into the room. "I just wanted to see how you were doing."
"I'm fine," Jack said, as Karen got up off his lap so he could stand up. "Zach, I want you to meet my wife, Karen. Kare, this is the director, Zach Bunting."
"Nice to meet you," Karen said smiling, holding out her hand.
"Yes, same to you," Zach said, squeezing Karen's hand very briefly. "Oh, and congratulations on your pregnancy."
"Thank you," Karen said as Jack put an arm around her.
Zach nodded and then turned to Jack. "Are you going to stay in here until your time to go on?" he asked.
"I wanted to watch some of the play from the side if I could," Jack said.
"Alright, well it's going to start in ten minutes," Zach said. "It was nice to meet you Mrs. McFarland." With that, the man left and closed the door behind him.
"He's asked you out, huh?" Karen said.
"Yeah, the day you told me you were pregnant, he asked me out for drinks," Jack said, walking over to the table in front of the chair and picking up his pageboy cap. "Since then he's either been icy or flirty with me," he said, putting the cap on. "It's driving me crazy."
"Well, hopefully you won't have to work with him again," Karen said. "I'd better go and sit now Jackie."
"Okay," Jack said, smiling nervously. "I'll see you guys here after?"
"We'll be here," Karen said. She put her arms around Jack and gave him a deep kiss that lasted a long time. When they finally pulled apart, she said, "Break a leg my sweet Jack."
Smiling, Jack kissed Karen quickly on the lips before she left the room.
When Karen sat down in her seat in between Katherine and Grace, Will asked her, "How's he doing?"
"He's fine, but a little nervous," Karen answered, smiling.
The theater darkened just then, and the opening notes of 'All that Jazz' sounded through the room.
~~~
Jack was standing at the left wing of the stage; watching the 'Cell Block Tango' sequence when Zach came up behind him.
"You're on in five," he said. "Listen Jack. I want to apologize for hitting on you all those times while we were working."
"Don't worry Zach, it's okay" Jack said.
"No, I shouldn't have done that," Zach said. "It's just that I got out of a long term relationship late last year and I wanted to find someone new."
Suddenly getting an idea, Jack grinned and said, "Come to my dressing room and I'll introduce you to someone." The stage manager called him, and he left Zach to prepare to go onstage.
"When's Uncle Jack going to be on?" Amber whispered to her mother after the 'Cell Block Tango' was over.
"A couple minutes honey," Karen whispered to her niece.
"Kare," Grace whispered. "This is Jack's part!"
Karen immediately straightened up and looked at the stage.
A row of scantily clad women where sing behind a row of iron bars. Suddenly, they moved to the sides of the stage and a set of stairs appeared where there was the silhouette of a dapper man getting his shoes shined. The man shining the shoes stood up as the dapper man left, and a spotlight hit him; it was Jack. He straightened his cap, smiling in a sheepish way before starting down the steps, singing.
"I don't care about expensive things
Cashmere coats, diamond rings
Don't mean a thing
All I care about is love
That's what I'm here for."
~~~
The play was over and the cast came out to take their bows. First was the actress who played Roxie Hart, the lead character. She received a few bouquets of red roses before she bowed for the last time and left the stage. After her was the actress who performed as Velma Kelly. She too received a bouquet of red roses before she walked off the stage.
Dressed in a three piece pin suit, Jack walked out onto the stage and bowed low. He was surprised when a few people, besides Grace, Will, Katherine, Amber and Karen, stood up, clapping and cheering. Smiling brightly, Jack waved at his friends in the second row when a man came up to him and handed him a small bouquet of white roses and blue irises. Grinning, Jack looked down at Karen and blew a kiss to her, which she returned, before he bowed one more time and left the stage.
Inside his dressing room, Jack quickly took off his suit jacket and then the powder on his face before everyone came in.
"Hey, there's the man of the hour!" Will said as he and the others entered Jack's dressing room.
"Where's Karen?" Jack asked, not seeing his wife with them.
"I'm right here poodle," Karen said, hurrying into the room. "Someone stopped to talk to me." She hurried over to Jack and threw her arms around his neck, "You were fantastic!"
"Thanks for the flowers," Jack said, smiling. He kissed her deeply for a long time before Will cleared his throat.
"Do we get a chance to congratulate you, or do you and Karen just want to make out?" Will asked.
Karen let go of Jack and he had her sit down in his chair.
"You were really great Jack," Grace said, hugging him briefly.
"I didn't even know you knew how to tap dance," Will said, patting Jack on the back.
Jack shrugged and then lifted Amber up into his arms. "What did you think of the play?" he asked her.
"It was fun!" Amber said excitedly. "I liked the 'Razzle Dazzle' song."
Kissing the girl's cheek, Jack laughed and set her down on the ground. He turned to his sister in law and said, "So, Miss Thespian England, what did you think?"
"Absolutely fabulous," Katherine said. She smiled and then gave Jack a hug.
There was a knock on the door, and Jack walked over to it. "Hi Zach," he said to the director.
"Hey Jack, great performance tonight," Zach said.
"Guys, this is the director, Zach," Jack said to the others. "I'll let you know who everyone is Zach. That's Amber Riley, my niece. Katherine Riley, my sister in law. Grace Adler, a friend of mine. Karen you've met. And this guy." He put his arm around Will's shoulders at this point. "Is Will Truman, my best friend."
Will and Zach looked at each other for a moment before nodding to each other.
"I'm going to be going," Zach said, smiling weakly. "It was nice to meet you all. See you later Jack."
When he left, Jack looked at Will and asked, "What was that?"
"I don't know," Will answered. "Thanks for trying to set me up though."
"Man Will, at least you could have tri-'" Jack started to say when there was a knock on the door. "Ah, there he is, I bet he'll ask you out for drinks." He opened the door and received the shock of his life when he saw his mother on the other side. "Mom!"
"Hello Jackie," Judith said, smiling.
"H-how did you know about the play?" Jack stammered.
"Your wife called me and let me know about it," Judith said. "And you were just wonderful tonight." She hugged her son quickly.
"Thanks mom," Jack said, still surprised that she was there.
"We need to go," Karen said suddenly. "I've got reservations for all of us at Tavern on the Green."
~~~
After the celebratory meal, the seven went to Jack and Karen's penthouse for coffee before everyone went to home.
"Jack," Judith said as she sipped her coffee. "Karen told me you've got some news to tell me."
Karen, who was sitting on the couch next to Jack, leaned over to him and whispered something in his ear.
"That's right mom," Jack said, putting his arm around Karen's waist. "Karen and I are going to have baby."
Judith gasped and covered her mouth. "You're pregnant Karen?" she asked.
Smiling serenely as Jack placed his hand on her stomach, Karen nodded.
"Well, this is just great!" Judith exclaimed. She set down her coffee and stood up, going to Jack and Karen and hugging them. "Oh my dear," she said, sitting down next to Karen on the couch and taking her hand. "When is it due?"
Karen smiled and said, "Either late August or early September."
"It's so wonderful," Judith gushed, squeezing Karen's hand.
~~~
After everyone had left the penthouse, Jack and Karen walked up the stairs to their room, Jack yawning slightly.
"Tired poodle?" Karen asked.
"A little," Jack said. "But I'm really happy."
"You should be happy, the play went so well tonight," Karen said, kissing him and pulling him over to the bed.
"Yeah," Jack said, kissing Karen deeply. "Do you want to make love tonight?"
Karen smiled and said, "It's your night Jackie, you can do whatever you want."
Jack looked down at her, licking his lips lightly. "Oh, I already know what I want to do," he said wickedly. With that, he leaned down and started attacking Karen's neck and lips. While he did this, he unbuttoned Karen's shirt, moving from her neck to her breasts when the blouse was opened. He kissed them for a few moments before stopping. "Kare, I think- ' he started to say.
"I know Jackie," Karen said, giggling slightly. "They got a little bigger. The doctor said that was going to happen."
"Huh," Jack said, still looking down at her breasts. He shrugged and then returned to kissing them.
While he was kissing her, Karen tried to take off his sweater and shirt, but was having a hard time as she kept moaning from Jack's kisses. Finally, she was able to pull off his shirt and then the rest of his clothes as he took off her remaining clothes.
He was planning on being gentle with Karen tonight, but the excitement of the play going well and the fact that Karen's slightly larger breasts were pressing up against his bare chest drove him into a frenzy. So he made love to Karen passionately, whispering and moaning to her that she was his forever.
Karen had to dig her nails in Jack's back, the pleasure she was feeling was blowing her mind. When she reached her edge, she clutched at Jack more tightly and screamed, "Damn it. Jack!"
Moaning and gasping Karen's name, Jack hit his own edge and collapsed on top of her. He lifted his head once he had caught his breath and said, "You okay?"
"Perfect," Karen murmured back, her face flushed and slick with sweat.
"Great way to celebrate," Jack said. He kissed Karen's swollen, pouty lips for a long moment before pulling back. He was about to get off of her, when she stopped him.
"It's okay Jackie, sleep here tonight," Karen said, smiling.
"You sure?" Jack asked.
"Mmm-hmm," Karen responded.
Sighing, Jack snuggled on her bosom and closed his eyes, falling asleep almost instantly.
~~~
The next morning, Jack woke up to the feel of someone stroking his back. He looked up and saw Karen smiling at him. "Do you feel sick?" he asked her.
"Not at all," Karen answered, smiling more widely. "I think it's over for now."
"Great," Jack said, kissing her lightly. He got up and pulled on his pants and shirt that had been thrown to the side of the bed the night before.
"What's going on poodle, what are you doing?" Karen asked, sitting up and holding the sheet around her.
"You and I are going to have breakfast in bed," Jack said.
"Oh Jackie, that sounds great," Karen said. "But why did you get out of bed? I could have called Rosario."
Jack grinned and said, "I'll be making breakfast."
"So we're going to have cereal?" Karen asked teasingly.
"Very funny," Jack said. He leaned down and kissed the tip of Karen's nose before leaving the room to make their breakfast.
