It had been a few days later, Karen on the outside looked like she was doing great thanks to the help of make-up, but inside she felt worst.

It was lunch time at Grace's office will and Jack had come to get the girls

'Ok ready?' will asked

'Yep' Grace said getting up to put her coat on,

'Come on Kare you are going to have your coat on' Jack insisted, Karen got up but she felt so dizzy, and she got a blinding pain in her stomach, she grabbed onto the table

'Karen you ok?' jack said moving over to her, she nodded yes, but then she blackout and fainted.

'KAREN!' Jack shouted and sat down beside her

'I call an ambulance' will said he got out her mobile and called. Jack felt her forehead and face it was burning up

'Grace can you get me a wet towel' Jack asked, she went into the swats room and did that, she came out and gave it to Jack, he put it on her head 'Come on kare, it's going to be ok' Grace felt her hand it was freezing

'Jack the rest of her is cold' she said, he put his hand on her stomach Grace was right she was freezing. Ten minutes later the paramedics came and took Karen to the hospital Jack went with then, while will and grace drove.

At the hospital all three sat in the waiting room for an hour before a nurse can out

'She has regained conscious, she is just sleeping we have her on a morphine drip so she should be fine' the nurse said and led them down to her room.

'Hay Kare' jack said sitting down beside her, will and grace got two more chairs and sat next to jack, jack took her hand, and then felt her forehead 'She's not hot anymore' he said

'Is she cold?' Grace asked

'No just normal' jack said, as Karen woke up

'Hay' she said

'Hay Kare' Jack said he said running his hand through her hair

'How are you feeling?' will asked

'Yea better, just tied'

'You know you gave us a fright' Grace said smiling

'Yea bloody stomach bug' Karen said, they all laughed.

They stayed with Karen of the next two hours, when a nurse came in

'Hello' she said

'Hello' they all said

'I'm Nurse Lisa; I'll be looking after Karen while she is here'

'What's wrong with her?' Jack asked

' this stage we don't know we are going to have to do some tests' she replied, 'but I'm sorry but I'm going to have to ask you three to go for now visiting time is over sorry'

'That's fine' will jack leant down and kissed Karen and they all said goodbye to Karen and Lisa, and then left.

'Karen I need to ask you some questions' Lisa said sitting in the chair Jack was in

'Yea'

'Do you have any family history of illness?'

'Not that I know of no'

'Any suffer for cancer?'

'No, why what do you mean?' Karen asked

'Karen……. we were looking at the fact you could have cancer'

'WHAT?' Karen looked shocked

'You may not have it, but we still have to run tests to see, I mean it could be anything, even just a stomach bug, or food poisoning, but we still also have to look at the other possibilities, you may not have it' Lisa said still trying to give hope

'As a nurse, you've seen the symptoms do you think I have it?' Karen asked, Lisa didn't reply she just shrugged 'Tomorrow we will do some tests to find out'.

It was the next day; Karen hadn't slept all night she kept thinking about what Lisa had said. How could she have cancer, why hadn't she noticed it before? Also what she was going to tell Will Grace and Jack, Jack she didn't want to leave him, the more she though about things the more upset she got and started crying. About ten minutes later Karen had stopped crying, and Lisa came in she gave Karen a weak smile 'Ok?'

'No but let's get this done' Karen said

'Ok, I'm going to take some blood from your arm, then you will go down for a few scans the results should be back tomorrow' Lisa explained, Karen got her arm out, and Lisa took blood from a needle, she then put it into a pot 'I'll be back in a minute' Lisa said taking the sample.

Lisa was back in five minutes; she sat back down 'How are you feeling?'

'Well not that great now' Karen said

'I'm sorry you know about telling you' Lisa said

'No honey it's not your fault, I'm glade you told me' Karen said smiling at her 'Just one thing'

'Yea anything' Lisa said

'Please don't mention anything to my friends please'

'Sure, it will be our secret; I'm not aloud to say anyways'

'As far as they know I still have stomach pains'

'So when will you tell then if it is?' Lisa asked

'I don't know yet' Karen replied. Lisa stayed with Karen for the next hour, they were talking, and Karen was telling Lisa about Jack, just how amazing he was and how close they were to each other. Lisa was saying about her life. They were talking when a doctor can in.

'Ok Karen are you ready?' he asked

'No…..yea ok' she said. The doctor took her away to do some scans and tests.

An hour later Karen was back in her room with Lisa

'How are you feeling?'

'Nervous I just want to know'

'It will be ok' Lisa said smiling.

Jack came that afternoon, to see Karen,

'So what are they testing you for?'

'Just to see if it's food poisoning or a bug' she lied

'Good my Kare bear will be up and run again soon then'

'Yea…come here Jackie' she said as she pulled back the covers

'What'

'Get into bed with me, I'm lonely' she pouted, she wanted to act normal, and this was normal with them, Jack took his shoes of and got in and cuddled her,

'Karen you are cold' jack said looking at her

'No I'm fine' she replied

'Here' he sat up and took his black jumper off and gave it to her 'Here put it on'

'What about you?'

'I'm not cold'

'Thanks' Karen said and put the jumper on it was massive on her, she then cuddled back up to jack

'You can keep it, till you get out, why don't you ask for another cover'

'I'm ok jack'

'Well you are now I'm here' he said. Jack and Karen laid there all afternoon, cuddled up talking.

Will and Grace came in at about six; they came straight from work,

'Hay' Grace said

'How are you feeling?'

'Yea fine, Jack is making sure I am'

They all talked till ten to seven, when Lisa came in

'Hello' she said

'Hello' they replied

'This is my nurse Lisa' Karen said

'Hay, and Im guessing your Jack' Lisa said looking at Jack who was still in bed

'Yea Hi, um Lisa I hate to be pain but could you get Karen another blanket or something, she is really cold'

'Jack' Karen said

'That's fine I will I came in here to tell you visiting time will be over in 40 minutes' Lisa said and walked out

'You're not going to leave me?' Karen asked

'Well we kind of have to' will said, Karen looked up at Jack, he smiled down

'Don't worry Kare bear I have a plan'

When 7:30 came round, they didn't move

'Ok guys me and karen are going to pretend that we are asleep, Lisa wont wake us up will she, ok Kare lets go to sleep' Jack and Karen pretend to go to sleep,

'Jack you aren't going to get away with that' will said

'SSSHH' jack whispered, just as Lisa came in,

'I'm sorry guys you are going to have to go, I got Karen a blanket'

'I'm sorry Lisa but Jack and Karen are sleeping' Grace said pulling a face

'Yea couldn't you just leave them' Will said sarcastically

'Well…..I'm not meant to, look all I can do is give you another half hour but then you will have to go' Lisa said and walked out, Jack and Karen woke up

'Ha ha' jack said and kissed Karen

'Great plan' Grace said sarcastically

'It got another half hour didn't it'? Jack said pulling the other blanket over them.

Half hour went by, Jack and Karen fell "asleep" again, and Lisa came in

'Ok guys'

'Im sorry they seem to be asleep again' Grace said, will looked at Lisa and nodded 'no'

'Come on Jack' will said 'she knows your awake

'How does she know' Jack said waking up

'She's a nurse Jack she aint stupid' Grace replied

'Oh jack don't go' Karen wined

'I'm afraid he is going to have to' Lisa said

'Your mean' Karen replied as Jack got up, he bent down and kissed Karen deeply

'I'll be back tomorrow, I love you' he said

'I love you too' Karen said, and watched them leave with Lisa; she then turned over and began to cry, she cried herself to sleep.

The next morning about nine Lisa was back with Karen waiting for the results, they were talking when the doctor came back in,

'Hello' he said

'Hi' Lisa said 'This is Doctor Warren' Lisa explained to Karen

'Hello'

'Hello, here are the results' he gave Lisa a brown envelope 'I thought you might want to tell her'

'Yea thanks Warren' Lisa said as Warren walked out. Lisa and Karen looked at each other

'Do you want to read them?' Lisa asked

'No, you read them, I wouldn't be able to understand any of it' karen replied, Lisa smiled, then opened the envelope, she started reading it to herself, Karen was trying to see from her facial expression but it was just blank, Lisa then looked up at Karen 'Im so sorry' she whispered, Karen just looked at her expressionless

'What….what does it say?' Karen finally asked

'You….you….you have cancer'

'Oh my god…..where' Karen said numb, Lisa read on in her head

'It…..it started in your stomach'

'WHAT….what do you mean started?' Karen asked scared for what was going to come next,

'Its has spread' Lisa said

'SPREAD….Spread to where' Karen was getting really scared 'it can be treated right'

'I'm sorry Karen, once it's all over no it can't, because the symptoms didn't show till now its to late to treat you' Lisa said, she looked like she was going cry, Karen just sat there looking numb

'Ok well what do we do now?' Karen asked

'Let nature take its course' Lisa replied

'What do you mean?' Karen asked scared that she already knew the answer

'We….we can't do anything, just wait until…until' Lisa couldn't get her words out 'I'm so so sorry' she said, taking Karen's hand

'Does it say how long I have?'

'Yea…the …test shows that…two months, you have about two months' Karen couldn't hold it in any longer, she burst out crying 'Oh karen' Lisa said and cuddled her, about ten minutes later Karen had stopped crying

'Here' Lisa said giving her a tissue

'Thanks' she said wiping her eyes

'Have you though about what you going to tell your friends?' Lisa asked Karen thought for a bit, what was she going to tell them? What would life be like after?

'Yea I'm going to say I have stomach ulcers'

'What you're not going to tell them?' Lisa asked shocked

'I can't, if I told them then they would be depressed and so would I, I don't want the last two months of my life depressed, you must understand'

'I….I don't know what to say' Lisa said still shocked

'I need your help'

'Look Karen I can't get involved, I can't I don't agree with what you are doing'

'Please Lisa I need your help, I really do' Karen begged, Lisa looked at her for a bit she didn't want to help, but she had to.

'Ok' Lisa said 'What do you want me to do?'

'I don't want them to find out, I need you to help me to make sure they don't, you know make sure nurses and doctor's talk about it, and if they ask you, you just tell them it's stomach ulcers that's why I'm in a lot of pain, and I fainted because I have a fever as well' Karen looked at Lisa, Lisa hesitated but then agreed.

'Ok at the moment you have a fever, no one will catch it, you also suffer from stomach ulcers, it will give you a lot of pain over the next few months but then….then you should be ok' Lisa said

'Thank you' Karen said and took her hand.

Later that day will, grace and jack came to see Karen, Lisa had told them what was wrong with her fever and stomach ulcers she was going to be ok. After Lisa explained it to them she walked out leaving them.

'Hay Kare' jack said sitting down

'Hay poodle' she said, will and grace said hello then sat down

'How are you feeling?' will asked

'Yea fine' Karen said, taking Jack's hand, he bent down and kissed her

'Sounds painful' he said

'It is Jack but I'll be fine, I really will' she said smiling at him.

Later that night when they had gone home, Karen laid in the bed, she couldn't believe that she was dying, she didn't want to leave them, she started crying just was Lisa walked in

'Karen' Lisa said coming over

'I'm sorry' Karen cried 'I just keep thinking how….how I'm going to miss them so much, I don't want to leave them, I don't want to leave Jack I love him too much to leave him I cant' Karen said and cried even harder, Lisa hugged her

'Karen how can you live like this, you can't just sit here and cry every night'

'I don't want them know, I don't want the two months depressed' Lisa sat with Karen till she was asleep.

The next day jack came and visited Karen; he had a present for her.

'Hay Kare bear' he bent down and kissed her

'Hay Jackie'

'I have a present for you'

'Why?'

'When you are ill and in hospital you usually get a get well present, you know everyone gets them'

'I know that Jackie, you shouldn't have done'

'I wanted to, hope you don't mind but I used you credit card to buy it' Jack said with a cheeky smile, Karen smiled back up at him and told his hand

'Nah, it still from you' Karen said Jack got out a small black box from his jacket pocket and gave it to her, Karen opened it, it was a silver necklace with a diamond

'Oh Jackie…it's beautiful, you know usually people just get a teddy bear or something'

'I know but you're not everyone else, you're special' jack said which made Karen cry 'Oh kare I didn't mean to make you cry, you do like it'

'I love it and I love you'

'I love you too, come here' Jack bent down and cuddled Karen, once Karen had stopped crying, Jack lifted his head up so they were face to face, he bent down and kissed her deeply, just then Lisa walked in 'Oh sorry' she said looking embarrassed

'That's ok' Karen said breaking of the kiss, Jack got up but still held Karen's hand

'Hope you're taking care of my angel' Jack said

'Of course' Lisa said with a fake smile 'She can go home tomorrow'

'Really' jack said

'Yes I though I'll come and take you the good news now' Lisa said then continued with the lie 'As long as Karen promises she will come to her….her check-ups'

'I'll make sure of that' Jack said and kissed Karen's hand, Lisa could feel her eyes starting to fill up with tears watching them they looked so happy 'I'll be giving you pills to take twice a day for the pain…..and just to let you know in the next few months, Karen you will still be weak and ill but I promise you, you will be fine….and I hope you make a quick recovery' with that Lisa left the room other wise she would of cried.

'She's a bit weird' Jack said

'Yea just ignore her Jackie' Karen said smiling

'I can't wait for you to be out'

'I can't either'

'You are going to live with me for a few months until you get better'

'Why?'

'Just so someone is there to look after you' jack said, Karen kissed his hand

'Cant wait'.

That night when visiting time was over, Karen had made an appointment with a solicitor to make a will; she had decided she was going to give will and Grace $100,000 each plus her yacht. Her clothes, make-up and jewellery were to go to will Grace and Jack they were to choose what they want. For Jack she left him, her penthouse, the rest of the money, her limo, every company of walker Inc just so he didn't run out of money, and Rosie.

After the solicitor went Karen started to write them all a letter each, only to be read when she was gone, this was going to be given to the solicitor to give to them.
