Chapter Fourteen: Lots of Kids

The next morning at around 3:00am. Karen and Jack awoke to hear screams from the nursery. They climbed out of bed and walked across the hall.

"It's Scarlett." Karen said before she opened the door. The couple walked in and sure enough Scarlett was crying in her crib.

"How did you know that?" Jack asked and responding to the added sound of Haven's cries picked her up and began to rock her gently.

"I'm her mother, when it comes to these three, I know everything." Karen smiled and picked Scarlett up out of the crib. "Shh, honey you're okay now, mom's here." She sat in the rocking chair and sang the little girl a lullaby, soon Scarlett was asleep.

"Kare, what do I do, she won't stop crying?" Jack looked at Karen with a confused look on his face.

"Well, I don't know either. We'll just have to figure it out on our own I guess." Karen took the baby from Jack and held her close. "Oh, God. I know what she needs."

"What?"

"A new diaper, grab the baby powder and meet me at the changing table." Karen walked to the table and lay the baby down on it. Jack handed her the powder and Karen undid the diaper, Jack immediately plugged his nose.

"Why do babies smell so bad?" Jack asked as Karen handed him the messy diaper.

"I don't know, just throw it away." Karen put the new diaper on Haven and smiled at her daughter. "There you go hon." Haven only responded only by crying again. "I guess that's not all that's bothering her." Karen sighed and looked at Jack. "Any ideas?"

"Maybe she's hungry. I mean they haven't eaten since well, umm, seven."

"Okay, I'll try that." Karen sat down on the rocking chair and proceeded to feed Haven.

"I bet that feels weird." Jack knelt down next to Karen and kissed her cheek.

"It hurt a little at first, but now it feels completely normal." When Haven was done Karen buttoned up her shirt and put Haven back in her crib. As they walked away Jack and Karen heard a soft whimper. "It's Haven again." Karen worriedly looked at Jack. "Do you think she could sleep with us for the rest of the night?"

"Why not, we just have to be careful not to squish her. I don't think we will though." Jack walked to the crib and took Haven back out. Haven leaned her head on her dads shoulder and hiccupped. Jack patted her on the back until she burped and followed Karen to their room. "Karen, do you want me to bring them all in?" Jack laid Haven in the center of the huge bed as Karen sat down on her side.

"Yeah, I would like that." Karen smiled and pulled Haven close to her. Jack came back a few minutes later carrying Cloe and Scarlett. Cloe was awake and playing with her dads' hand while Scarlett slept soundly. He set the girls down and climbed into bed on the other side of them. Karen and Jack watched them sleep until about four when they to drifted into dreamland.

The next morning Jack woke up and found the spaces next to him empty. He threw on a t-shirt and went across the hall. Even though it was only 7:30am Lorraine, Rosario and Karen were already dressed and taking care of the kids. Rosario was playing with Scarlett on the floor mat and laughing very hard. Lorraine was changing Haven's diaper and Karen was feeding Cloe.

Jack went to Karen and kissed her on the cheek. "Good morning Kare, how are you."

"I'm sooo worn out it hurts. Bonnie called and said she would be by in an hour, Elliot said it wouldn't be until around one. What happened?" Karen worriedly looked up at Jack and he shook his head.

"I don't know why she wants Elliot to live here so bad. Anyway, I'll go make breakfast."

As soon as they had finished eating the doorbell wrang. "I'll get it." Lorraine stood and went across the hall to the front door. She opened it and Elliot greeted her. "Hey kid!" Lorraine said hugging him. Elliot dropped his bags and hugged her back, even though they didn't know each-other that well, he could tell he would like her.

Karen and Jack walked into the room a minute later. "Hey Elliot." Jack patted him on the back and smiled at him. "Is your mom coming up?"

"Yeah, she said she'd be up in a minute and that she wants to talk to you and...um...what should I call you?" Elliot looked at Karen and laughed.

"You can call me Kare, or Karen, whichever you like better." Karen giggled and leaned down to hug Elliot.

"Hey, I wanted to thank you guys for agreeing to this so quickly. It means a lot, since I don't know why my mom doesn't want me to live with her anymore." Elliot's face changed from a wide smile to a sad expression within seconds. A few moments later Bonnie walked into the room.

"Come on Elliot, why don't I show you to your room." Lorraine picked up two of his bags and led him up the stairs. When Jack and Karen were sure that they were out of earshot they both looked at Bonnie.

"Look, I know your wondering, why us, but I'm moving to California and I figured it'd be better for him if he stayed here. His friends are here, his dad's here, his step-mom's here, his sisters are here. It's just better for him." Bonnie smiled, but Jack could tell she was hurting.

"Why do you have to leave?" Jack asked.

"Well, it's a long story. Mostly, this guy said that if I went out there I'd get paid more and would have a better life."

"So you're leaving your son?" Karen was astonished at the woman's reasons for leaving on such short notice.

"I have to, it's better for him here. You have money, you can give him the things he needs. I don't have those options. So here, take the papers. I have a plain to catch. The rest of his stuff should come in a little bit. Oh, and Karen, Jack, thank you. You've given him a better chance by doing this." Bonnie hugged them both and shut the door.

"Well," Karen said gazing at the door as if it were still open.

"This is a huge responsibility Karen, but we can do it." Jack put his arm around his fiancé' and they walked upstairs to help Elliot unpack.

That night Karen and Jack rented some movies from the rental place and watched them all in the living room with Elliot, Lorraine, Rosario and the girls. At one point Karen looked at Jack, and he gazed back at her. They looked at their four sleeping kids, their most trusted maid, and their friend, and as Karen rested her head on Jack's shoulder they realized something, they had the perfect family.
