Dates are wrong don't know if it twenty years since Karen last saw her mother even though its my story, I forgot how old I made Karen! Im going to have to re-read the whole story and work it out!

The night before

It was the night before Karen was going to see her mum; she and Jack were in bed

'Come on we better get to sleep' Jack said

'Yea' Karen replied but just laid there

'You ok?' Jack asked

'Yea its just you know I don't know if im more scared then excited

'It will be ok I promise you' Jack said then kissed her goodnight and went to sleep, but Karen couldn't she spent the whole night awake.

It was the next day

'Ok Kare you ready' Jack called into the bed room, Karen walked out and looked a nervous wreck

'Nope' she said

'Come on Kare you can do this'

'I don't think I can Jack'

'What do you mean?'

'Go and see, her it was ok last week to say I was going to see her because I had a week to forget about it, but Jack I don't think I can'

'Karen listen you can it will all be fine'

'Im not sure'

'Do you really want to see your mum?'

'Yes more then anything'

'So why are you backing out?'

'What if she doesn't want to know me, what if she thinks im still the liar and a big mistake like all then years back?'

'Yea Karen what if, but how do you know until you go and see for yourself yes she could but then at least you know and can move on, but if you don't go and see her then you never will know and your be asking could it of worked out for the rest of your life'

'Oh Jack your right' she said smiling, he walked over and hugged her

'Come on' he said and pulled her out the door.

They arrived at her mother apartment within half an hour

'Ok Kare just knock on the door get it over and done with'

'Yep you're right' she said standing there

'Well go on' he said

'Im a minute' Karen replied, Jack leaned over and knocked on the door 'JACK' Karen hissed

'Well you weren't going to do it' he said, just then the door was opened by a short woman taller then Karen shorter then Jack she had short dark hair, brown eyes, her facial features were similar to Karen's and just like Karen she looked young for her age. Jack immediately saw Karen in this woman

'Hello' she said

'Um Hi are you Lois Whitley?' Karen asked with nervousness in her voice Jack put his hands on her shoulders to reassure her

'Yes who is asking?' she said as Karen took a deep breathe

'Hello mum'…..
