A.N: Okay so I've gotten good reviews for the last chapter which sigh is a HUGE relief! I love it when you guys review!!! Jude Rigby has a new Fanfic out in the "R" rated Romance section so check it out!! It's a really good story! Okay so I'm sorry I haven't updated lately…but three science reports in a row can really slow you down  I hope you enjoy this chapter a lot! I finally thought of a good wedding song for the couple but…I'M NOT TELLING YET!!! Also I've come to a conclusion, after the wedding that'll be it, the story will be over. No sequels or anything, just the end. I kind of wrote myself into a corner with triplets so I'll start new with another Jack/Karen fic, it'll be them just starting out as a couple. It'll be rated R though so it'll be interesting to write.

Chapter Sixteen: Planning

Karen woke up in one of the guest bedrooms the next morning. Her pillow was stained with mascara and blush and her eyes were bloodshot. Jack was next to her breathing deeply in his sleep. She rolled over and looked at the floor, Lorraine was covered by blankets next to the bed.

Jack stirred and slowly woke up, he looked at Karen and sat up in bed. "How are you doing?"

"He…tried…to kill me." Karen looked blankly into Jack's sad eyes as he held her to him. She looked down at her leg and sighed. "Is it okay?"

"The doctor who came here last night," Jack said slowly, he knew she was still in shock, "said that you could walk on it, and that it should heal soon. You were lucky they got there in time, otherwise I would have had to kill him." Jack smiled at his love and she sighed.

"Did…did I do something wrong?" Karen's eyes filled with tears as she looked up at Jack.

"No, no you didn't. Come on Kare, let's get you a bath." Jack stood, took her hand and led her to their bathroom.

Jack sat on the bed and flipped channels as Karen soaked in the tub, the bathroom door was open so that he could see her, he wanted her to be safe.

"Jack." Karen said softly from the tub, her brown hair was up so it didn't get wet and her eyes were filled with fear and hurt.

"Yeah?" Jack stood and went into the bathroom, he shut the door and sat on the side of the tub. "Are you okay, Kare?"

"I'll be fine, are the girls okay?"

"Yes. They're downstairs with Rosie and Lorraine right now. They miss you."

Karen looked down at her feet and sighed. "I…just don't understand. Why would he want to hurt me?"

"I don't know Karen, but I would have died for you if I had to. I love you."

"I know." She smiled at him and pulled him in with her.

"Hey! What are you doing?!" He smiled at her and pushed the hair out of her face.

"Just loving you." Karen smiled and they kissed passionately.

A week later Karen was feeling much better and she and Jack were busy planning their wedding. Grace was going to play wedding planner and help them out, she was sitting on in the dining room with flower arrangements, cakes, candies, party favors, and fabrics sprawled on the table.

"Okay Karen, Jack, you need to taste each cake for me and tell me which one you like the best, so that I can get one ten times that size for your wedding." Grace pulled out two chairs for them and Karen and Jack sat down and looked at each cake.

"Grace what's this?" Karen asked pointing to an orange and blue cake.

"That…is, um," Grace pulled out the list she made and looked through it. She had gotten six different cakes for them to try and she couldn't keep track. "That's the carrot cake."

"Get rid of it!" Karen and Jack said in unison, Grace handed it to Rosario and she took it into the kitchen.

"Okay, first is the Red Velvet cake. It's the one right in front of Jack with all the roses on it." Grace handed the couple forks and watched as they tried it.

Jack's expression immediately went from interested to sickened. "It's too bitter!" He swallowed and put the fork down.

"Well I guess that's a no." Karen looked at her fiancé's face and laughed. "Hey Grace, where's Lorraine? I wanted her to do this with us."

"She's out with Will they're picking out his tux and picking up Jack's." Grace smiled at Jack and opened the next box. "This one is Chocolate Fudge, it's my favorite out of all of them."

Rosario picked up the velvet cake and smiled. "Ms. Karen, do you mind it I have the rest of this one?"

"Sure honey, go ahead." Karen almost saw Rosario start to cry when she said yes, her maid left the room and Karen stood. "Jackie keep going, I'll be back."

"Okay Kare." Jack smiled at Karen and watched her go.

"What was that about?" Grace asked.

"I don't know."

"Rosie, is everything alright?" Karen walked into the kitchen to find Rosario looking teary eyed at the cake.

"Oh, yes." Rosario wiped her eyes and stood.

"What is it?" Karen sat on a stool and patted the seat next to her.

"It's just that, well, my only daughter Maria called last night to tell me that she's getting married. They can't afford a decent wedding, so I thought I could send her this cake, it's her favorite." Rosario smiled at her friend and then looked back at the cake.

Karen thought about all Rosario had done for her over the years and everything she had put up with. "Rosie, why don't we fly your daughter and her fiancé' here, and the rest of the family. I'll pay for a wedding."

"What?" Rosario's eyes filled with tears and Karen nodded. "Oh thank you Ms. Karen!" Rosario hugged Karen and she jumped a little bit, but then hugged her back.

"What's going on in here?" Jack entered and was surprised to see Karen and Rosario being…well…nice to each other.

"Ms. Karen is a saint!" Rosario jumped up and hugged Jack.

Once again shocked Jack stared down at a laughing Karen. "No, she's far from it!"

"Hey!" Karen hit him upside the head and went into the dining room. Grace was hunched over an ice cream cake eating it.

"Oh!" Grace threw the fork she was using and quickly wiped her mouth off. "That one's good…yeah you should go with that." She looked down and Karen, Jack and Rosario started laughing.

"Now, where were we?" Karen took her seat and looked at all the cakes laid out in front of her.
