It was the day before Christmas eve, all four had decided that today they would all go out on there own shopping to buy Christmas presents for each other as they had decided as well as buying each other presents but to do secret Santa as well
Karen had will
Jack had Grace
Grace had Karen
Will had Jack
Karen was the first home, she entered Jack's apartment
'Jack' she called out, she put her bags down and looked on the answer phone to see a message, she pressed the button
'Hi Jack its your mother, I got your message and was just wondering why you aren't coming over Christmas day, you usually do so why have you cancelled well hope to hear from you soon'
Karen looked confused at the phone, Jack hadn't even told her that she invited him over Christmas day, just then Jack walked in
'Hay Kare you weren't long'
'No didn't really go in all the shops, will's quiet easy'
'Yea he maybe easy to buy for, but when it comes to men he isn't that easy' Jack said
'Your evil'
'Yep'
'Um Jack your mum left a message on the phone asking why aren't you going to hers for Christmas' Karen asked 'you didn't say'
'I didn't want to' he said sitting down on the sofa, Karen followed him as he continued 'I didn't want to tell you, because of what your going through'
'Oh Jack' she said talking his hand 'I don't mind, don't stop seeing your family, I think you should go'
'I don't want to Kare, I want to spend it with you, and Will and Grace, I've spent many Christmas's with her, we've never spent a Christmas together, and I don't want to leave you'
'I know Jack but she is family'
'I'll see her another day, she knows you need me right now'
'Jack…'
'I'm staying here with you Karen' he said interrupting her, she looked at him then smiled
'Thank you' she said as he hugged her
'We will have a special day'.
Later that day
They were all round Will and Grace's planning their Christmas day
'Well you two can come round for dinner' will said
'Yea, what time do you want us round?' Jack asked
'Well we have to go see our family in the morning, so we will have it at night'
'Yea we'll find something to do Christmas morning' Jack said to Karen
'Why aren't you seeing your mum?' Grace asked
'Nah I said I'll spend it with Karen, anyways I have to go and pick something up' Jack said and walked out
'Hay guys can I ask you for a favour' Karen said
'Yea sure' Grace said
'I want Jack to go and see his mum on Christmas, please convince him'
'But he doesn't want to' Grace said
'He does, he just doesn't want to leave me, and I feel guilty I don't want her to think I'm taken him away from her'
'She won't think that, she will understand' Grace said
'Well why don't you go with him' will suggested
'No please just tell him to even go for a bit, I will be fine'
Later that day
Grace and Karen had gone out, while will and Jack were in will's apartment
'So why aren't you going to your mum's?' will asked
'I don't want to leave Karen on her own; she has had a depressing year, leaving her on Christmas I couldn't'
'Well do you want to see your mum?'
'Well yea of course I do'
'So why don't you go early in the morning spend an hour there, then come back'
'I don't know'
'Jack, Karen told me to convince you to go'
'She did?'
'Yes, she doesn't want you to stop seeing your family because of her it makes her feel guilty'
'Did she say that?'
'Yes Jack'
'Well I could go at 8 be back by 9' Jack said
'Yes now go and tell her'.
