Two weeks later and a week before Christmas eve their relationship was going strong, everyone was happy except Grace. Karen had returned to work and moved back into her penthouse although most of the time she was at Jacks, things seemed like they were back on track and the events of just a few weeks ago a distance memory.

"Honey, what you doing tonight?" Karen asked Grace looking up from her desk where she was actually doing work.

"Oh it's game night, Rob and Ellen are coming over."

"Oh no not small and stupid, Will didn't mention that or the crapy game night when he invited jack and I."

"Will invited Jack?" Grace asked putting down her work.

"Yeh, honey." Karen replied blissfully unaware at the rage building up in her friend.

"How could he do that, he knows I'm not talking to Jack." She shouted angrily.

"Hey honey, about that, don't you think you can just get over this and forgive him, Will has and I have so why can't you?"

"Karen, he slept with my best friend then dropped him like a ton of bricks, he then asked my advise so he could sleep with my other best friend and dropped you the same way, you then nearly died, he didn't visit you and I had to pick up the pieces, so sorry if I can't forgive him as easily as you and Will have." Grace shouted a little too loudly causing tears to well up in Karen's eyes.

"Oh Kare I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you but I've been caught up in the middle of all this and I just don't know how I can just forget what he did."

"Honey, give him a chance, I love him and these last few weeks have been the happiest in my life, you're my best friend I would like it if you can get along with my Jackie, please for me." She dropped her bottom lip causing Grace to smile.

"Ok fine, I'll give him a chance tonight, you can sit next to Rob and Ellen whilst Will and I kick your ass." Grace said sounding victorious already.

"Thanks honey." Karen went back to her desk and started drawing a heart with her name mixed with Jacks inside it, when Grace walked over and saw this she couldn't help but think it was sweet and was happy that Karen was happy, she just had her doubts about how long it would last.

That evening the gang were gathered at Will's waiting on Jack, just as Karen was about to call him he swung the door open "don't worry Jack is in the building." He shouted dramatically on entering.

"Honey don't do that." Karen whined rolling her eyes at the mini dance he was doing.

"Don't you think it's cute?" he asked taking his coat off and kissing her lips softly.

"No" was all Karen replied causing everyone to laugh.

"I haven't come empty handed, I've brought cake." He shouted excitedly whipping out a box and handing it to Will.

"Great who's for cake?" everyone put there hand up bar Grace.

"What Grace no cake?" Will asked surprised.

"Come on G, its double chocolate, double cream and sticky toffee, consider it a peace offering, please." Jack begged.

"Ok, but this doesn't mean I've forgiven you fully I'm doing this for Karen and the cake now give me." She shouted grabbing the cake out of Will hands.

A few hours and drinks later the room was full of laughter as they were well into there game.

"That's 2 minuets 3 seconds guys." Will shouted as Rob and Ellen sat down after finishing their turn.

"Hey you're getting better at this." Grace praised giving the kill sign to Will.

Will and grace went next as Rob timed, they got there 5 'things that are' answers in record time. "Wow 56 seconds, are you sure you guys don't practise this." Ellen said in amazement, "I hate playing with these two Rob your useless." She moaned swatting his arm.

"Well we are the best." Will bowed after doing the winners clap with Grace. "Jack, Karen your up next, here your card who's doing what." Grace shouted happily, trying to think up a victory dance.

"You give, I'll receive." Karen said pointing to Jack, who just giggled raising his hand to his mouth. "Jack be serious we need to wipe the smile of these two Muppets faces." Karen chastised seriously.

"Here you go." Grace said as she past the card over to Jack. "You're time starts now."

"Ewe" Jack said pulling a face.

"Things that are old." Karen replied quickly.

"Wrong"

"Things that are cotton."

"Martine"

"Things that are good" Karen shouted causing Grace to sit up in a panic.

"Me" Jack stated.

"Things that are hot."

"Umm, Stan" Jack tried only to get Karen waving her arms for another clue.

"Your liver." He tired again, Grace sat back smiling they only had 7 seconds left.

"Will's sex life." Jack screamed.

"Things that are dead." Karen screamed back looking over for the results.

"You won, you beat Will and Grace." Ellen cheered.

Karen flung herself into Jack's arms and he twirled her around in victory.

"What, how could they win, we always win." Grace complained.

"Well you've met your match in us honey." Karen exclaimed happily.

"Oh you have to come and play for the suck on it cup, we'd all love someone else to win that." Rob said boasting over their friends.

"This sucks." Grace cried stomping off to get another drink.

Everyone staring laughing and soon enough Grace found the funny side to her childish behaviour.

At around midnight Rob and Ellen left, "You staying for another drink guys?" Will asked Jack, he was just about to say yes when he caught Karen's face over his shoulder saying no.

"no thanks think we're going to move." He replied smiling over at her.

"Yeh night all" Karen said, "thanks for inviting us honey." She added as she kissed Will goodbye a ritual they had established between themselves after that night in the hospital.

Karen grabbed Jacks hand and headed over to his apartment. As Jack shut the front door he turned and found himself face to face with Karen.

"Honey, winning really turns me on." She whispered seductively, pulling his lips to her own. She put her hand under his shirt and grazed her fingernails down his back causing him to shiver.

"Now that turns me on" he smiled into her neck as she pressed herself against him. He quickly unbuttoned her shirt and removed his own never taking his mouth away from hers. They moved backwards trying to reach the bedroom but only ended up slamming against the nearest wall.

Unbuttoning his trousers Karen reached inside and heard him groan when she touched him. Smiling she pushed his trousers down whilst he attacked her own and when they were both in just there underwear she wrapped her legs as he still tried to navigate to his bedroom.

Unbeknown to what was going on behind the door Will walked across carrying Karen's purse, which she had left, without thinking he walked in and gasped loudly at the site.

Jack and Karen abruptly stopped what they were doing, both looking extremely embarrassed and in search of any form of clothing.

"Sorry, I should have knocked, I didn't think, wow you don't waste any time do you?" Will said nervously referring to the fact that they had left his apartment not 5 minuets ago.

Karen was looking at the floor laughing silently as Jack edged around the room looking for somewhere to stand that would hide his obvious arousal. "Karen you left this, sorry, I'll let you get back to it." Will said hastily backing out the door.

Karen burst out laughing as Jack threw a pillow at her. "It's alright for you, you can stand there looking all gorgeous in your underwear, pretending nothings happen, it's a bit more obvious for us guys." Jack shouted, laughing himself.

"Well honey there's not that much to hide." Karen said running into the bedroom as Jack chased and dived on her.
