It had been two days since Karen was taken of the life support machine, she still hadn't woken up, and Jack will and grace like before had visited her everyday.

They were all sitting around her bed in their usual place; jack was holding her hand as usual. They had been their for about an hour to two hours talking about what went on at work, when jack felt Karen lightly squeeze his hand

'Oh my god' Jack said interrupting will 'Karen just squeezed my hand'

'What?' will said shocked

'Go get the doctor' Grace said

'No' jack replied

'What Jack we need the doctor' will said

'No they will get us out of the room and she'll wake up to strangers, I want to be here when she wakes up, we don't need a doctor, they will just take over, and then tell the police and they will be in here straight away not letting her rest or anything, they don't know her like we do so please can we be here for her when she wakes' jack explained will looked at grace

'Jack's right lets just wait till she wakes up' Grace said, will hesitated for a bit before agreeing.

'Fine' he smiled

Jack started stroking Karen's cheek

'Come on kare wake up' jack said as will and Grace took her other hand.

It was about another five minutes after and they were still trying to wake her up when,

'Jack' Karen whispered, all three looked up at each other 'Jack' she continued

'I'm here kare bear' jack said, Karen slowly opened her eyes and turned to jack,

'Oh Karen' he said kissing her hand, Karen went to move but she felt the most blinding pain down her left side with made her crying out pain,

'Karen don't try to move' jack said

'I'll get the doctor now' will said

'I'll come with you' grace said and they both walked out

'How are you kare?' Jack asked, she smiled at him 'you know you have given us all such a fright'

'Sorry' she whispered

'It doesn't matter, all that matters is that you're here'

'Jack what happened? Why am I here?' she said looking at him

'You…you' jack didn't know what to tell her 'you were….'

'Simon' Karen interrupted him

'What?' jack asked

'All I remember is seeing Simon, he was in my room, and he told me he wanted to get me back'

'Are you sure kare' he asked

'Yes, he came out of my closet and said he wanted to get me, he…he got out a knife, its true jack. I'm not lying, you don't believe me do you?' she asked looking at him

'I do Karen, I promise I do' he said and kissed her hand

'Is he the reason my side hurts?'

'Yea' jack nodded 'he…he stabbed you'

'Oh my….' Karen looked like she was going to cry, Jack started stroking her face again

'Oh kare, don't worry, look we'll tell the police they'll get him, you just get better'

'Promise' Karen asked

'I promise' he said and bent down a kissed her. 'You know I've missed you like hell'

'I've missed you' Karen said, just then the doctor came in, followed by will and grace,

'Hello Karen, I'm your doctor, Doctor Martin'

'Hello' she said, she then turned her attention to will and grace and smiled, they both smiled back at her and held her hand,

'How are you feeling?' the doctor asked

'Fine, but my left side hurts' Karen answered; her voice was still croaky and quiet

'That's normal, all three stab wounds will hurt at first' he replied

'Three' Karen looked shocked and looked at jack, he looked down at her with sorry eyes

'One in the leg, one in the side damaging your liver, and one in the ribs causing your lung to collapse, we aren't sure yet weather you hit your head causing you to go into a coma, or if it is because you lost a lot of blood, but I have to admit you proved us doctors wrong when you started to breathe when we switched the life support machine off, you know you are very lucky I've never seen anyone recover with just a five per cent chance of living, guess we didn't believe your friends when they told us you were strong.' the doctor explained, karen looked shocked been in a coma meant she didn't have a clue what was going on,

'What I was on a life support, how long was I in here' Karen asked still shocked

'About 3 weeks' Jack answered

'Oh my god' Karen just laid there still shocked

'Look I'll leave you for now I'll be back later' the doctor said noticing the awkwardness

'Jack I want to know everything' Karen asked, so Jack told her, after that it was only then that Karen had noticed will and Grace.

'Hay karen' Grace said

'Hay honey' Karen replied smiling 'How's the office?' she asked

'Hasn't been the same without you, work has been done, and you should see the clothes have been wearing'

'I can tell' Karen replied looking her up and down then smiled; Grace didn't mind all she cared about was that Karen was awake.

'Hay Wilma' Karen said

'Hay im glade your still here'

'Really?'

'Really' will said kissing her hand

'God look at you all' Karen joked, they all laughed.

They had stayed there for another 3 hours catching Karen up with all the gossip and news, when the doctor walked in,

'Hay guys I'm sorry but visiting time is over, and the police said that they will be here tomorrow'

'The Police?' Karen asked

'You need to give a statement of what you can remember that night' will explained

'But I told you it was Simon'

'I know but they want to hear it from you' will continued

'Will I have to tell them…you know what?' Karen asked

'You don't have to tell them anything you don't want to' jack said

'Well karen we better go goodnight' Grace said lent down and kissed her goodnight followed b will then a big kiss from Jack, just as jack was about to go out the door Karen called him back

'Poodle' jack came back over, Karen took his hand

'I don't want you to go'

'But kare I have to, I don't want to, but I have to'

'Please Jack stay here; I don't want to be alone'

'Let me go and see what I can do' jack smiled and walked out the door.

Jack was gone 15 minutes trying to convince the doctor, he came back in with the doctor

'Ok Jack can stay but only for tonight' the doctor said

'Oh thank you' Karen said smiling

'I'll go and find you a camp bed I'm afraid that's all I can give you' the doctor said walking out.

The doctor came back after 10 minutes with a camp bed he set it out for jack then gave jack a key

'Here is a key so you can lock the door from the inside, but I'll have a key so I can still unlock it from the outside'

'Ok thanks' Jack said as the doctor walked out. Jack got onto the camp bed which didn't look comfortable

'Poodle'

'Yea'

'Come and sleep up here

'What I can't'

'Yea you can that looks horrible come on'

'What if I hurt you?'

'No you won't' Karen shifted over a bit it did hurt but she didn't want jack to know, he hesitated for a bit then came up and carefully got into the bed

'See' Karen said, Jack smiled down and kissed her

'Goodnight Kare'

'Goodnight Poodle'

Jack was laying there thinking just how lucky he was laying there with Karen, he was just so happy she was fine and she hadn't left him that he started to cry slightly just so Karen couldn't hear but she could,

'Poodle what's wrong?'

'Nothing' he lied

'But you're crying'

'No I'm not'

'Jackie you are' she looked up

'I promise you they are happy tears'

'Why?'

'Cause Im here with you, I thought I may never be able to cuddle you again or speak to you or see you I though that…..that you….'

'Jack' Karen interrupted

'What?' jack asked, Karen looked up him 'remember that night that me and you were standing on the boat looking like we belonged on the titanic, what did I say to you'

'I can't remember'

'When you told me that you were never going to leave me'

'You told me that you weren't going to leave me because you loved me'

'No I didn't jack I said that I would never leave you because I loved you too much, and nothing has changed' Karen looked at him and he looked down

'I guess not' jack said smiling Karen reached up and kissed him deeply

'Goodnight Jackie'

'Goodnight kare bear' and with that they both went to sleep
