Chapter Seven: Moving In (Finally!)
Karen and Jack were walking around Central Park. They sat on a bench and watched the people pass for around twenty minutes before Jack said something.
"I'm glad, that you decided to give this a chance." He said smiling. Karen took his hands in hers.
"Me too. I hope that we can make this work." She glanced at a family that was having a snowball fight. Their little girl was trying to make a snowball and her dad was helping her while her mom pelted them with snow. "I hope we end up like that." She said pointing at them.
"We will, don't worry." He smiled and they stood to walk home. "You know Karen, I was thinking, and I think it would be best for both of us if we took this kind of slowly."
"Take it slow! You were so eager back there I though you were going to pin me to the bed!" When he frowned at her she squeezed his hand. "All right, we can take it slowly."
"Thank you." He hugged her and they were back on their way.
Back at the penthouse Lorraine was bringing boxes into Karen's place with the help of Grace and Rosario.
"Where's Will?" Karen asked when she saw the three of them. "And why are you moving your stuff in already? The room won't be done for another week or so."
"Will left, and shortly after that Lorraine showed up so I decided to help her move her stuff in. We've been bonding." Grace smiled and picked up another box.
"I know the rooms not done Kare, but do you think I could move into a guest room? Living with daddy has become unbearable. All he talks about is how he's so glad that you decide to leave him because he didn't want kids anyway. It's awful." Lorraine hugged her and smiled.
"Of course you can stay here...I don't want anyone to have to live with him anyway." Karen sighed and walked into the apartment. "Come on Lorraine, I'll show you where you can stay." Karen led her through the media room and down a long hallway. She stopped at the end and unlocked the door. "It's not much, but it's the guest room." She opened the door and Lorraine gasped.
"Wow! Kare it's beautiful!" She stood in complete disbelief and awe at the surrounding room. The walls were a deep red, and the floor was a dark stained wood. There was a fireplace and scarlet chairs at one end of the room and a huge armoire made of what must have been a dark maple. The bed was the most spectacular thing in the room though. It was a canopy bed, and the arches at the top were made to look like tree branches. The sheets and pillow cases were gold, and the bedspread was the same scarlet red as the chairs. The canopy itself was a see-through golden fabric with leaves stitched on in certain places.
"I don't know what to say, I'm stunned. Thank you so much!" Lorraine sank down into one of the chairs and stared around the room.
"Well gosh, this is the small one too." Karen patted Lorraine on the shoulder and sat next to her.
"Small! This room is almost bigger then Daddy's whole apartment."
"It is? I though he had money?"
"He does...well he did. He finds ways of spending it, if you know what I mean."
"Oh." Karen turned as Grace, Rosario and Jack carried in Lorraine's boxes.
"Here you go Lorraine!" Grace said as she set the box marked "clothes" on the bed. "This is all of the stuff you brought."
"Oh, thanks you guys you didn't have to bring it all the way in here!"
"No problem Lorraine, after all you are part of the family now!"
"Yeah, I guess I am." She smiled at Karen and Jack and went to unpack her boxes.
That night, Karen was taking a bath when Jack walked in.
"Jack! What the hell are you doing?" Karen shouted and covered herself with her towel.
"Relax, I've seen you before. Remember I had to help make those kids somehow. By the way, when will you hit the five month mark?"
"In two days." Karen smiled contentedly. "OH! Ouch. Speaking of which." She grinned and grabbed Jack's hand.
"What the heck are you doing!?" Jack yelled. She frowned at him and put his hand on her stomach. After a few seconds he felt two small nudges against his hand. He smiled at her and began to laugh. "They're kicking!" He shouted. "I can't believe it!" He kept shouting and soon Lorraine was in the bathroom too.
"Lorraine! What the hell are you doing!?" Karen shouted.
"I'm wondering what the hell is going on in here!" Lorraine was taken by surprise when Jack took her hand and put it on Karen's belly. "Oh my god!" She shouted happily. "I can't believe it, it's the most amazing thing in the world. Oh, Karen, I'm so happy for you."
"Oh thank you so much! NOW GET OUT!" Karen and Lorraine laughed. "No, I'm serious, I need to get out of the tub, please leave."
"Well, fine then. But I'm telling Rosie about this!" Lorraine yelled as she walked out of the door.
"Okay, come on Kare, let's get you out the tub." Jack stretched out his hand and helped her out.
"Thank you poodle."
"Oh, it's nothing Karen."
"No, thank you for everything."
"What do you mean?"
"Thank you for helping me through this, thank you for giving me these children, and thank you for being there for me. Most of all though, thank you for being you." Karen leaned in and kissed him.
"I'll always be here for you Karen, no matter what." Jack grabbed a towel and wrapped it around both of them. They walked out of the bathroom, and were greeted by shocked looks on Lorraine and Rosario's faces.
"Santa Maria, what is going on here!" Rosario threw her hands up in the air and sat in the chair by the door.
Lorraine simply pointed and said, "Explain." So they did.
