Jack woke and smiled it was Christmas day, he looked at the clock it was 7:30 he was going to be at his mum's by 8 and leave at 9, he got out of bed trying to not wake Karen, and got ready and went. Karen heard the door shut after Jack she woke up and realised it was Jack going to see his mum, she rolled over trying to get back to sleep but she couldn't.

Will and Grace were getting ready to go as well, they wanted to get there early so they could get back, spending the whole day with their medalling mothers wasn't something they were looking forward too.

'Come on Grace you ready, I want to get back?' Will called

'Yea just coming' Grace said as she walked out 'Ok check me over and tell me what can my mum criticizes'

'Um well the clothes are fine, make-up good, hair um'

'What do you mean hair um?'

'Well I don't know it's just um'

'I'll give you um in a minute' Grace said walking back into her bedroom

'Grace Come on its fine, lets just get going' Will shouted back to her, Grace can out a few minutes later with her hair in a ponytail

'That's better' will said

'Good let's get going then' Grace said

'Yea Jack has gone'

'Has he'

'Yea I saw him; he still didn't want to leave Karen'

'Will do you think she will be alright?' Grace asked looking concerned

'Yea, Jack will be back soon, she properly still asleep'

'Yea' Grace said unsure

'Look if we don't stay long at out parents then we can be back by 12, then we can all append it together'

'Yea your right lets go' grace said and walked out followed by Will.

Back at Jack's Karen couldn't get back to sleep she looked at the clock it was now 9:30 she knew Jack wouldn't of been home by 9 and hadn't excepted him to be, she sat up and the chest caught her eye, she got up and dragged it to her side of the bed, and started looking through it.

She got out picture after picture looking at it then putting it on the bed, she then noticed a Christmas card she pulled it out, laid down and read it. On the front said 'Merry Christmas to a very special daughter' Karen remembered it, it was hand made by her mum and dad she opened it up and read it 'Dear Karen, Happy Christmas, we hope you get everything you want and more because you are our special little girl. Tonight mummy and daddy will make a special wish that next year will be happier and more special than the last, and that like this year your dreams will come true next yea, and remember no matter what we will always be with you forever and ever. Lots and lots of love mummy and daddy xxxx'

Karen's eyes startedto feel with tears, but she was determined not to cry, slowly she started to fall asleep with the card in her hands, and photo's all round her on the bed.

It was eleven when Jack got back he hadn't planned to stay that long but his mum wouldn't let him go, he had felt bad been late and hoped Karen wasn't up waiting, when he walked in he was pleased she wasn't up, he took of his jacket and shoes and went into the bedroom, he saw all the photo's out

'Oh Karen' he said, he got onto the bed carefully not trying to wake her, he cleared up the photo's and put them back then he saw she was holding a card, he got it then read it, after he read it he put that back then laid next to karen pulling the bed throw over, over her, she stirred then woke up

'Hay' she said

'Hay sorry I woke you'

'That's ok'

'I'm also really sorry im late'

'Jack I knew you would be, that's why I got you to go, I knew you would spend more then an hour, so you have spent half the day there and half here' she said, as Jack thought for a bit

'Ah clever' he said now realizing her plan to get him to see his mum on Christmas day 'anyways Merry Christmas' he said kissing her

'Merry Christmas'

'So do we open presents now' he asked, Karen nodded yes, then both of then got of the bed to get each other's presents then got back on the bed

'Here put this on' Jack said to Karen handing her one of his jumpers 'you look cold' she took if of him and put it on 'ok' he said getting excited

'I'll let you open your first, as you look like your going to burst' she said smiling, she handed him a large box, he opened it up inside was a long black velvet feel coat

'Oh my god Kare, this is the one I wanted' he said excitedly 'Thank you' he kissed her then stood up trying it on 'Does it look ok?'

'It looks great' she said as he sat down

'Ok now time for one of yours' he said handing her a smallish box, inside was a pink teddy bear with a silver tag like a necklace on it saying 'To my Kare bear Hope next year brings you more cheer love you loads and loads Jack –x-'

'Oh jack it's so beautiful'

'Ok I have one more for you Kare this is your main present' he said

'Good cause I have one more for you' she answered 'I'll give you yours first' she said handing him a small box, inside was a silver watch and silver chain with a pendent on it saying 'To jack just want to say thank you for being in my life love you so much love Karen'

'Karen they are fabulous'

'Yea'

'I love them, and I love you, can you help me put the chain on' while Karen put on his chain, he put on the watch and looked at it

'Wow this was the one I pointed out to you'

'Thank you' he said then kissed her 'Ok now for yours' he gave her hers it was also in a small box which inside was a pink diamond pink with a matching necklace

'Oh Jack this is gorgeous, thank you' she said looking up to him

'You like it then' he asked

'I love it' she said taking out the ring and putting it on her finger

'Here turn around I'll put this on' she turned round and moved her hair out the way so he could put on the necklace, after that she felt his arms around her waist so she looked up to him

'Thank you Karen I love all the presents' he said looking down at her

'So did I jack thank you, and not just for the presents for everything…..' she was interrupted by him putting his finger on her mouth

'I know Kare' he then kissed her.

'What are we doing today' Karen said breaking of the kiss and getting into bed followed by Jack and cuddled up

'Well we have to have dinner at will's later, so until then I don't know, what do you want to do?'

'I don't mind'

'Well what's the one thing at Christmas you used to do?'

'Well me mum and dad would always go for walks in the snow'

'That's what we will do then'

'Do you want to?'

'This is like another Christmas present from me to you'

'Jack you've given me enough already' she said playing with the ring

'I know but cant I spoil you'

'If you want' she said.

That day Jack and Karen spent it in the park, will and Grace got home at 2, Jack and Karen had come over at 3 to open presents from each other and to have dinner, they were now sitting on the sofa ready to swap the secret Santa gifts

'Ok well I got Jack' said will handing him a bag, inside was a blow up male doll

'Ok well I got Karen' Grace said she handed her a bag inside was a book called 'how to use the equipment at work' and some sexy under wear

'Thank Grace' she said hugging her

'Ok well I have will' Karen said, will looked scared as she handed the bag inside was a pen set with will's name on and novelty boxers

'Thank you Karen' he said smiling then gave her a kiss

'Ok well I have Grace's' Jack said happily

'Oh god' Grace said taking the bag inside was a bra that makes your breasts look bigger and a small calendar full of hunks 'Thanks Jack' she said kissing him

'I was going to get that for will, but you will properly let me borrow it unlike will'

'Anyways what do you all want to do' will said getting up from the sofa'
