A.N.: Hey everyone! Thank you for reviewing, even constructive criticism is appreciated. I have gotten advice to slow things down, so I will try my best to. I hope you like the story so far. Oh and one more thing, sorry I haven't updated lately, I was camping for the past week or so. Oh and if you haven't already checked out this fantastic Jack and Karen web-page:

Chapter Four: Getting Started

It was about an hour after they had gotten back from the doctors office, and Karen and Grace were discussing the issue of a design budget, Karen not only wanted the nursery done but she wanted Lorraine and Jack's new rooms done too. They were all four sitting in the living room, Karen and Grace sat at the dining table while Jack and Lorraine sat on the floor doing each-others hair.

"I'm sorry Jack, but I don't think I can put your hair in braids, it's to short." Lorraine said as they flipped through a magazine trying to get ideas.

"Now, Karen it's going to cost a lot to do these rooms, they both have very expensive taste." Grace said as she began to do a sketch of Lorraine's room.

"It's okay honey. I can afford it. I was thinking $100,000 each for their rooms." She said pointing to Lorraine and Jack. Jack was putting Lorraine's hair up in a bun and pulling some of the wavy strands out so that they cascaded down her back and face. Grace's mouth gaped at the large budget. "And since there are three kids now instead of two, I was thinking $250,000 for the nursery. How does that sound?"

"Are you kidding, I'm excited as to how much I'm going to be paid." Grace said as she went back to her sketches.

"Oh, you can keep whatever is left plus another $15,000." Karen sat back and took a drink from her water bottle.

"Wow, that's a lot of money." Lorraine said looking up at her.

"I spare no expense for people who deserve it." Karen stood and continued. "And you two definitely deserve it." She smiled at the two of them and then said. "Does anyone want anything, I'm going to have chef make pancakes."

"Karen, we just ate lunch, and you had about a billion pancakes for breakfast. How can you be so hungry?" Jack said as he laughed.

"Hey, you're not the one eating for four are you?" She snapped at him as she walked from the room. Just then there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it!" Karen yelled. When she opened the door she found Will standing in the hall. "Oh, Will I didn't know you were coming." She said as she led him into the Living Room.

"Yeah well, I'm sorry I missed the appointment this morning, so, I brought you ten pancakes from Ihop!" Will pulled a big box out of his bag and handed them to her.

"Thanks honey!" Karen stood on tip-toe to kiss him on the cheek and then walked into the kitchen to get a plate and fork.

"Hi everyone." Will said as he sat on the couch next to Grace.

"Hey Will, what do you think of this for the nursery?" Grace asked as she held the sketch up for him to look at.

"Great but, why are there three cribs when it's twins?"

"Oh, Will we have something to tell you." Jack said looking up.

"What? Your not going to tell me that you and the twins are sharing a room, are you?" With that Jack bopped Will upside the head with a pillow.

"What's going on?" Karen asked as she stepped into the room with a plate full of pancakes.

"They were about to tell me something." Will informed her as she sat down.

"Oh yeah that, well Will it's not twins." Karen said smiling. Will glanced back at the sketch and his eyes grew wide.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Will said. "You're having triplets!" Karen nodded at him and he got up to hug her. "Well, congratulations. You're going to need a lot of diapers." They all laughed at his remark. "No, really I am happy for you Kare."

"I'm glad." Karen sat down to eat.

Jack woke the next night to a scream from Karen's room. He had fallen asleep in the media room watching a Friends rerun with Karen. He ran up the stairs and burst through the door.

"Kare, what's wrong I heard you scream?" He climbed onto the bed and hugged her to him.

"I had a terrible dream. I woke up in a hospital room and they told me that I had lost the triplets. Then they disappeared and everyone was dead...even you." She looked up at him and began to cry. "Don't leave me Jackie, please don't leave me."

"I won't leave, and I won't let anything happen to the babies, or you." He lifted her head and kissed her softly. Then he lay down next to her and fell asleep.

The next day when Jack woke Karen was already dressed and was applying makeup at her vanity.

"You're up early, where are you headed?" Jack asked as he sat up and climbed out of bed.

"I'm going back to work today." She said cheerfully. Karen walked to him and kissed his cheek. "Love you." She said smiling as she left the room.

"Karen wait!" Jack called as he ran after her. "Karen you know I'm gay!"

"I know that." Karen said suddenly.

"Then why did you say you loved me."

"Jack you kissed me last night. I thought it meant something! It did.....didn't it?" Karen's eyes started to well with tears, she had wanted his love for so long. She thought she finally had it, but did she really, or was it just her imagination.

"I'm sorry Kare...but it was just to comfort you. I'm sorry." He answered softly.

"Oh." She looked at the ground for a moment. "I'm sorry I bothered you with it." Karen was crying now. She again looked at the ground, shook her head and left.
