Her Only Crime Was Loving Him…a Will and Grace fan fic challenge..these characters are the property of KoMut Enterprises be nice this is my second W/G story...

They had just come from the funeral. The usually jovial quartet had nothing to be happy about. Will sighed as he slowly walked to the couch. His eyes were filled with tears. He laid down the rose that he took from her spray on the table. Her parents said something about sitting shiva, but he wasn't Jewish and didn't understand. He didn't want to wallow in grief, he wanted to look up and see her smiling face. He didn't know who to blame Leo or himself? Leo for not loving her enough or himself for loving her too much.

The program read Grace Adler..a tribute. Will had written a special song that he had planned to share , now knowing she would never hear it. He called it Living With Grace. It talked of the love he shared with this special woman. Why had he hurt her so much? Why couldn't he love her the way she wanted him to love her. His thoughts drifted back to a baby they talked about. Will started to break down more as he remembered the baby they tried to have as friends. At least then he would have a reminder of the life now lost and he could tell the baby about how incredible their mommy really was.

"Hey Will," said Jack as he cautiously opened the door. Jack who was usually full of energy, today was very solemn. He knew his buddy was hurting. He came over and put his arms around Will giving him the comfort he needed.

Jack remembered the phone call. Will had come in and found Grace on the floor with one of Karen's pill bottles in her hand. Laura Brannigan's Forever Young played on the stereo. It was a very surreal scene as her red hair was sprawled all over the floor.

He ran to her side as he tried to revive her, "Gracie, gracie my god, my god!" He grabbed his cell phone and called 911. The paramedics got there and it was too late. They dragged Grace's lifeless body out on a stretcher with a body bag over her.

Bobby Adler was on her way with in minutes. Her other daughter had felt so racked with guilt that she decided not to make the trip with her mother. Vince dropped everything when he heard of Grace's death . He knew where his place was , by his lover's side.

Trying to ease the pain herself, Karen walked in the door followed by Rosario. There were no glib comments or feisty conflicts. Both had a very somber look on their faces. Karen raised her arm to take a swig of vodka when Will grabbed it from her hands and smashed it into a million pieces.

"You bitch, how could you do this to her. You say you are her friend and yet you drink as if it is another day in your gin soaked lifestyle.

I know you gave her those pills, you killed her you botox faced monster." Will ranted.

"Hold it you faggot, can't you see I am hurting too.I gave her those pills to help her sleep. She said that something had been bothering her and didn't go into it. I am drinking to kill the pain." Karen yelled.

"I am not a hearless monster, I loved her too." she broke down into Rosariios' arms.

"There , there, miss Karen." Rosario comforted her as she did when she lost her beloved Stan.

Leo entered the room next. "I came over when I heard." he walked over to Will and tried to embrace him.

"You cheating bastard, you were probably the one who killed her. She wanted to be a good wife to you, she loved you so , and you thank her by fucking some bimbo doctor in Cambodia." Will said in tears. "You don't belong here.. Get out!" Leo left with his head down and Karen said. "We are all hurting. Give him time because you two will bond the most because you loved her the most." She kissed Leo on the cheek.

The funeral was beautiful . Despite her grief, she managed to praise her favorite daughter with a mother daughter broadway tribute. She wore a stunning black gown that Jack wanted to steal.

Will sang his special song he wrote

He started to sing the one part he put so much love into

Living with Grace is never easy

But that's not what life's about

And no matter where tomorrow sees me

I'd rather live with grace then live without.

His eyes overflowed as he thought of her smile. He thought of the thousands of moments they spent together. He finished his song and Bobby ran into his arms. Together they cried for the life they lost. Karen, jack, and Leo hugged as well.

Tomorrow they would look for the pieces to make sense of this terrible tragedy ..today they would just remember Grace.

The song Living With Grace is from the awesome Will and Grace soundtrack. It is co written by Barry Manilow and Eric McCormack..

This story is dedicated to a friend I loved like Grace loved Will…except I wanted more like Grace wanted from Will..so here it is …to Will.
