Chapter Three: Getting Some Help
When Karen woke up the next morning she found Jack gone. After a few minutes she heard voices from downstairs, both of which she immediately recognized. Karen got out of bed and threw on a robe, she ran downstairs to see Jack and Lorraine Finster arguing at the front door.
"What are you doing here?" Karen asked from the stair where she was standing.
"Karen I tried to tell her to leave but-"Jack was cut off by an annoyed look from Karen.
"Oh, Karen, he didn't hurt you did he? My dad I mean, did he hurt you?" Lorraine was standing in the doorway and she looked deeply concerned.
"No, he didn't." Karen replied coming down and standing next to Lorraine.
"After he calmed down a bit last night he told me what happened, I'm sorry he was so mean."
"That's not your fault, but, why are you here?" Karen was confused as to why a woman who a couple of months ago seemed to hate her was showing so much sympathy.
"I'm here to tell you that even though my father doesn't want anything to do with the baby, I do. I'm here, to give you my support."
"I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you right. You're here to give me your support?"
"Yeah. Only if you want it though."
"Sure, the more the merrier!" Karen walked past the two, and into the living room.
"Well," Lorraine said to Jack as she walked past him, "I guess we'll both be helping Karen out for the next few months, probably you more then me." She said smiling.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Jack asked, he was confused as to what had just happened. He knew Lorraine and Karen had become friends, but this good of friends. He was also shocked that Lorraine cared so much about Karen.
"Lorraine, there's something I need to tell you." Karen said as Lorraine and Jack sat down. "The baby, well, it might not be your dads."
"Okay, fine so far, whose would it be then?"
"Well, Jacks." Karen said bluntly, she was nervous as to what her reaction would be, would she still want to help.
"Oh, well in that case, congratulations Jack!"
"You mean, you're okay with it?" Jack was just as shocked as Karen in her reaction.
"Yeah, but I wouldn't mind knowing how it happened. I mean I know how this happens, I just don't know how this happened."
While Jack tried to connect the dots of what Lorraine just said Karen explained. "About a week and a half ago, Jack and I had a party with some of our friends. We got drunk and well...you can guess what happened next."
"Stuff." Jack finished.
"Oh, okay then, that's all I wanted to know." Lorraine smiled at the two of them. They would make such a cute couple. She thought to herself.
Three months later:
Karen woke up in the middle of the night with a huge pain in her stomach. She was used to it by now, so she shook Jack awake and headed into the bathroom. He had stayed the past few nights to help her out, Lorraine was currently still living with Lyle. She sat in front of the toilet and began the daily routine of throwing up. Jack walked in after a couple seconds and tied her hair back. He sat with her for about a half an hour and when she was finally done he ran a bath for her while she got a drink of water and washed her face.
"Karen, your OB appointment is today." Jack said as he added bubbles to the warm bath.
"Oh yeah another day with Dr. Whitner." She said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.
"Come on Kare, last time you liked her." Jack helped Karen into the tub and sat on the toilet lid so they could talk. "And besides you've been looking forward to finding out if the twins were girls or boys or one of each."
"Please don't remind me that there are two, how am I going to manage that?!"
"You'll be fine, and I'll help you. I'm going to go get dressed, be careful getting out of the tub." Jack kissed her forehead and then left to go to his small section of Karen's huge closet, he had taken some clothes over to leave there that way he didn't have to haul them back and forth. He pulled out a blue sweater and some jeans and put them on. Then he went to find Karen something to wear, she had needed a whole new wardrobe a couple weeks ago, she was slowly inflating like a balloon and she hated it. Finally he found her favorite pair of slacks, extra stretchy, and a deep red blouse. Karen walked in a few minutes later wrapped in a towel. When Jack was sure she would be alright he went out to her room to watch T.V.
"Jack!" Karen screamed from the closet. Jack immediately jumped up and ran in to help her.
"What is it?!" He was scared to death.
"I can't reach my shoes." She turned to face him and stuck out her bottom lip.
"Don't scare me like that! I thought something was really wrong." Jack reached up and got down the Prada slip-ons and handed them to her.
"Sorry." Karen looked at the floor.
"It's okay, I just worry about you that's all." Jack pulled her to him and kissed the top of her head. "Now come on Rosie has breakfast downstairs."
"What is it this morning?" Karen had a big smile on her face hoping it was her new favorite meal.
"I'm having eggs, and you, of course, are having chocolate chip pancakes." He helped her down the stairs and when he got a good look at her she was smiling tremendously. Chocolate-chip pancakes were the only thing she had cravings for, which no one minded since they were fairly easy to make. As they sat down at the table they heard a knock at the door. Rosario went to answer it and a couple of minutes later came back followed by Lorraine.
"Can I get you anything Ms. Lorraine?" Rosario asked politely.
"Um, some milk would be nice but that's all." She answered with a smile. "So Karen, are you excited about today?"
"Yes!" Karen had chocolate around her mouth and looked extremely excited.
"Yes, well you look like a three year old with that chocolate on your mouth!" Lorraine laughed as Karen tried to wipe it off.
"Hey, while you're both here, I have something to ask you." Karen stopped eating and looked at Jack and Lorraine.
"Go ahead Kare." Jack put his hand on hers and smiled.
"I was wondering if you two would like to move into the penthouse with me." Lorraine and Jack looked at each other for a minute so Karen continued. "You're both here almost all the time anyway, so why not be here for everything! First words, first steps, first kick!" She smiled just thinking about it.
"Well Kare, you know I will!" Jack said after a few seconds.
"Me too." Lorraine said.
"Yay! I can't wait, I already have your rooms picked out! You can move in whenever you like!" Karen again smiled and resumed eating.
When they got to the doctors office they found Grace waiting for them in the lobby.
"Why are you guys late!? They've called your name like three times now!" Grace asked franticly.
"Its okay, it's okay. We're moving in with Karen and she wanted to show us our rooms." Jack explained as they were ushered into an office.
After a little while a doctor entered the room.
"Where's Dr. Whitner?" Karen asked.
"She's out today, but I'm Dr. Kelson. I can assure you you're in good hands." The Doctor smiled as she went over the charts.
The four of them were now preparing to find out what gender the twins were. They had all waited for this for some time and were really excited about it, and Grace could finally start decorating their room.
"Well Mrs. Walker," the doctor said. "It looks like you have three girls!" Jack sighed and then looked up quickly. Karen had noticed immediately.
"Wait, three! There are only supposed to be two!" Karen was a mix of happy and mad at the same time.
"Well sometimes, in the case of more then one baby, the smallest is hidden from detection. Congratulations Mrs. Walker, they are in perfect health. You can leave as soon as I get this wiped off." Dr. Kelson wiped the jell off and then left the room.
"Oh my god! Karen, its triplets!" Jack kissed her forehead and Karen smiled.
"Oh my god, I have to deal with triplets." Karen said after a few seconds. "Jack I don't think I can do it."
"You're wrong Karen." Lorraine said as she took Karen's hand. "We all get to be in the company of three wonderful children, and their amazingly brave mother."
"I guess you're right." Karen sighed and looked up at Jack.
"We can do this Kare." Jack said.
"And Will and I will be right there to help." Grace smiled and helped Karen up.
"I never thought I'd say this but, I'm glad I have you guys, thanks." Karen hugged them all and they walked out of the building all smiles.
