A.N. Thank you again to those who review! I love getting feedback! Hey, go here will you...it's the best Will and Grace site ever!
Did you guys hear that this might be the last season of W&G? It's not for sure yet though....I WILL DIE! Sorry about the lack of updates, but school takes up a lot of my time. Also I can't think of many good names for the triplets any ideas?
Disclaimer: I do not own W&G. I also know nothing medical. -.- o.o

Chapter Nine: Forever
Jack walked into the penthouse and headed upstairs to see Karen. He opened the bedroom door and immediately Karen flung herself at him. She knocked him over and pinned him to the floor.
"Are you okay?" Karen asked him, she was wearing a blue silk kimono style nightgown.
"Yes, but are you? You could have killed the girls!" He kissed her cheek and she got off of him.
"I'm fine and they're fine! By the way where were you, its 11:30? You weren't with anyone, were you?"
"No, Kare, I wouldn't do that to you. I have something to tell you, and I was thinking of how to say it." He sat on the bed and patted the spot next to him. "By the way, I LOVE your hair curly, keep it that way." He winked at her and she giggled.
"Okay, I will. Now what was it you wanted to tell me?"
"I wanted to tell you that I wouldn't trade your love for anything, but I'm still attracted to men."
"Oh. So does this mean, that we're through?" Karen was on the verge of tears.
"No, no no no. I would never want that to happen, I just thought that you had the right to know. I don't think we should keep secrets from each other." Jack hugged her.
"Okay. I'm glad you told me, its fine. If I ever need to tell you something, I know I can tell you, I don't want us to have secrets either." Karen stood and walked to her vanity. "Oh, by the way, is it alright if we go to Will and Grace's for a Valentines dinner. She invited us today."
"Sure, as long as we have some time to ourselves." Jack wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck.
"We will honey, we will."
"Good. Okay now, what do you want to do for your birthday?"
"Jack my birthday isn't for another month."
"So, we can still plan ahead can't we?" Jack pulled off his shirt and pants and climbed into bed.
"I guess, but can't we wait until tomorrow?" Karen flipped the light off and got in next to Jack.
"Sure." Jack wrapped his arms around Karen and watched her fall asleep.
On Valentines Day a week later Jack, Karen, and Lorraine arrived at Will and Grace's for dinner. Karen, Lorraine and Grace sat on the couch and started to discuss where the furniture should go in Lorraine's new room. Jack walked to the kitchen to help Will.
"Guess what." Jack said as he put a little more salt into the fettuccini.
"What?" Will pulled a bottle of wine out of the fridge. "You want some?"
"No thanks, I decided that if Karen can't drink, I won't either."
"Wow, you really do love her, don't you?"
"Yeah, that's what I wanted to talk to you about." He pulled Will closer and whispered to him. "I'm going to propose tonight." Jack stood back and watched the shocked expression on Will's face.
"Here?!"
"Yes, if that's okay with you."
"Yeah, it's fine. Wow. This is huge, I'm really happy for you guys."
"Good, I have it all planned."
"Hey! Guys, is that pasta done yet, I'm starving?" Grace walked over and they stopped talking. "What's going on?"
"Oh, nothing." Will and Jack said in unison.
"Sure. Now come on, where's the food?"
The five of them sat down to dinner and started up a conversation.
"So, have you guys though of any names?" Will asked, "Sense there are three girls, I don't think it should be too hard."
"Well, I like Britney, but Karen said no. She doesn't want them named after any movie stars or anything like that." Jack rolled his eyes and took a drink of water.
"Oh stop," Karen smiled. "I like Anna, and Lily. We decided that we would wait until their born to pick names though. We can see what names fit them best."
"I'm not sure just yet." Jack looked at Will with a nervous look on his face.
"Well," Will said. "Sometimes it's better to wait until you're sure." Will hinted at Jack. Jack looked at him and shook his head slightly, and mouthed "No".
"Is something going on?" Grace asked, she could tell something was bothering Will and when he didn't say anything, she knew. She could have said something, but she didn't want to ruin dinner, so she kept her mouth shut.
The conversation was good through the rest of dinner and when they retreated to the Living Room.
"Will, could I use the phone?" Jack asked.
"Sure." Will threw the phone to Jack. Jack walked out into the hallway and dialed home.
"Hi, Rosario? Yeah, it's Jack, listen, is it ready?" Okay have driver come over. Okay, thanks Rosie. Bye." He hung up and walked back in.
"You ready to go Jackie?" Karen asked smiling.
"Yeah, are you Lorraine?" He looked over Karen's shoulder.
"You know, I think I'll stay here for a bit. I'll call driver when I'm ready." Lorraine waved as the couple walked out the door.
"You called Driver, didn't you?" Karen asked. Jack was surprised, she thought she knew what was going on but she didn't. She didn't know what he had up his sleeve for the night.
Before they got into the elevator Will came out of the apartment and pulled him aside.
"Go on Kare, I'll be right down." Jack blew her a kiss and the elevator doors closed.
"What happened to proposing here?" Will asked. He was very confused.
"I just wanted to see what your reaction would be to me asking her." Jack didn't seem like he cared about what he had done.
"Why didn't you just tell me then?"
"I don't know, I had to come up with something otherwise you would have drilled me with questions."
"Yeah, I guess your right. Have fun and good luck Jack."
"Thanks Will, you can tell Grace and Lorraine by the way."
"Good, it's been killing me!"
"I knew it would be. Happy Valentines Day Will." Jack waved and got in the elevator. As the doors closed, he wondered what her answer would be.
Karen and Jack got back to the penthouse and walked through the front door.
"Close your eyes." Jack whispered to her, once they were inside.
"Why?" Karen giggled.
"Just close them." She did and Jack took her hand and led her to the Media Room. He put her in the middle of the room and walked to the light switch. "Now, open them." As she did he flipped on the lights and she gasped.
The furniture had been moved out of the room and all that was on the floor was a deep red silk blanket, some pillows and a plate of chocolate covered strawberries. There were roses and petals everywhere. Pink balloons filled the ceiling and red streamers covered most of the walls. On the mantle was a single picture, taken of Jack and Karen when they had first met. The lights were hundreds of small white Christmas lights.
Karen covered her mouth with her hand and began to cry. Jack walked to her and hugged her.
"You like it?" He asked even though he already knew the answer.
"It's beautiful Jack!" Karen stopped crying and sniffed a little bit.
"I'm glad." Jack pulled away and hung up their coats. Karen sat on the blanket and looked around again.
"How did you do all of this?" Karen picked up a strawberry and bit into it.
"Rosie, she helped me plan it and get everything set up."
"Well, I'll have to thank her." She kissed Jack's cheek and fed him a strawberry.
"Hey that's my job!" He tickled her.
"Don't do that!" Karen laughed and picked up a pillow to cuddle.
"Okay, but can I do this?" Jack crossed his legs and took a small box out of his pocket. Karen again covered her mouth when she saw the box.
"Kare, I know I said I wanted to take things slow. But, I decided I'd rather be with you then anyone else, I've know you for so long, and it took me this long to realize that. I love you so much, so will you marry me?" Jack opened the box to reveal a beautiful ring. It had a gold band and surrounded in tiny diamonds was a pink crystal heart. Karen was crying very hard now and she looked at him and half laughed.
"Yes." Karen flew forward and knocked Jack over.
"You have to stop doing that you know!" Jack laughed and kissed Karen.
"I love you Jack." Karen smiled and kissed him again.
