One month later
Jack was doing really well in rehearsals, because he was a dancer already he picked up the dances really well, the show was in a months time.
Things were going well with Karen and her mother although none of then had brought up Simon.
'Hay Jackie is it ok if mum comes to lunch with us today?' Karen called into the bedroom where Jack was getting ready
'Sure Kare' he replied walking out 'so what time?'
'Well I'll pick you up at t12 then we will go and pick up, then we are meeting your mum there'
'Oh yea' Jack groaned
'Oh Jack it will be fun'
'Yea ok, an hour listening to her go on about how I'm still single that's not my idea of fun'
'At least it's just an hour
'Yea ok well see you later' Jack said kissing her then walked out
In Grace's office
Grace was walking, while Karen was reading when there was a knock at the door
'Kiki' Lois said coming in
'Mama Hello' Karen said cuddling her 'what you doing here I'm not picking you up till 12'
'I know but I was passing and wanted to see where you worked'
'Work or play?' Grace asked, Lois turned round to see her
'Hello' Lois said
'Oh mum this is Grace she is my boss, fashion dummy and best friend Grace' Karen explained
'Hello nice to meet you' Grace said walking up to her and shaking her hand
'You to' Lois said 'so where is your husband Grace'
'My husband?' Grace asked
'Yea Will' Lois said
'Oh my husband' Grace said turning to Karen 'No his not my husband his gay'
'I'm sorry' Lois said 'anyways I had better go so see you at 12' Lois said 'bye Grace' Lois said then left.
Later that day
Karen was in the limo on her way to pick up Jack then her mum; she smiled at the thought of spending lunch with the two most important people in her life that she loved dearly.
She turned up at the theatre and saw then still rehearsing so she sat on the back room and watched them on stage,
'Ok Jack could we go and do the song one more time, Jaime follow Jack please and go'
Jack went through and sung and danced his way through 'Both reached for the gun'.
After the song finished everyone went for lunch, Jack was still on stage on his own picking up his script, Karen walked up to the stage without him seeing,
'You were good' she said walking up the steps onto the stage
'Karen you were watching?' he asked turning round
'Just wanted to have a first glimpse of my poodle on stage'
'Thanks' he said hugging her
'So how is it going?'
'It's really good, but that Jaime is hard work' Jack said with his arms still round Karen,
'So is this your dream Jackie?' she asked eyeing the stage, Jack nodded yes then leant his forehead against hers
'This is my dream and more' he said
'Come on Kids I need to lock up for lunch' a Man called to them standing at the back of the theatre, they both broke off the hug and got down from the stage
'Come on before we forget our mums' Karen said leading Jack out to the exit.
At lunch
Jack, Karen, Lois and Judy were all out to lunch
'So Jack how is the show coming along?' Judy asked
'Its great hard work but worth it'
'I'm glad to hear it'
'Well its all thanks to your daughter, with out her I wouldn't be doing it, she is an angel' Jack said
'I wish Karen would find a man like you Jack one that would take care of her' Lois said
'Mum' Karen said
'But Karen you need a man in your life'
'No I don't I have Jack he is all I need and want'
'Jack why do you have to be gay' Lois asked
'Mum stop it' Karen said putting down her glass
'I know what you mean Lois Jack hasn't had a man for ages and the only person who makes him happy is Karen' Judy said
'Mum' Jack said
'What you two need is to go out on blind dates, I know men straight and gay if you want me to set it up' Lois asked
'Mum we will find men when we are ready'
'Well you two aren't getting any younger' Judy said
'Thanks mum' Jack answered
'I'm just saying if you two didn't depend on each other as much as you do, you could find the one' Judy said
'Mum that is enough' Jack said
'Jack why do you have to be gay' Judy said, Jack was going to say something but Karen put her hand on his arm
'It's ok' Jack said smiling 'If Karen were a man or I weren't gay then it would be a different story' he continued.
They all had lunch till one, when Karen and Jack were happy enough to say goodbye to their mums, the mums headed in their own separate ways while Jack and Karen went in the limo
'We should never ask them out again together again the mum army was just to strong' Jack said
'I'm sorry for what my mum said' Karen said leaning my head on his shoulder
'I'm sorry for what my mum said too' Jack replied
'We are fine as we are, aren't we?' Karen asked
'Yea more than fine I know I wouldn't want it any other way'
'No me neither'
