WILL & JACK'S APARTMENT
"…I admit I have been more tired and absent minded lately" Jack said quietly, not looking at Will.
"…But…". He sighed deeply, stood up and walked over to the fridge, pulling out a bottle of wine Will and Grace had opened the previous day.
As he poured himself a glass and drained it in one, Will had got up from the sofa with a confused expression on his face.
"Jack, what's going on?" Will asked, his voice breaking slightly. "Who is it? Someone who works at OutTV? An ex? Who?".
"Why can I never do anything right?" Jack thought aloud, so quietly, Will strained to hear it.
He turned to face Will and looked him in the eyes and laughed despite himself.
"You think I'm seeing someone huh? Well it's good to see the trust is still present".
"You think it's funny Jack? I have spent the last few weeks in turmoil because my head is saying one thing and my heart another. If you're not having an affair, then what is it?".
Jack could see Will hurting. His heart immediately melted. He was angry and hurt that Will would think he would cheat on him, but Will was right. Everything he was doing pointed to an affair.
Jack walked over to Will and grabbed his hands.
"Will, you know I love you right?".
"Do you?" Will whispered.
Jack's heart broke. He couldn't believe Will had been feeling like this and he hadn't noticed, he'd been too wrapped up in doing his own thing.
Jack kissed Will with immense urgency, then sat himself on the couch and buried his head in his hands.
"I'm so sorry Will".
Will sat beside Jack, and took one of his hands in his and stroked a hand through Jack's hair.
"Jack, tell me what's up?" Will asked, looking at Jack staring at the floor.
"Nothing, that's the stupid thing, I just can't believe I've made you have these feelings and I was clueless. Why am I so stupid?".
"Hey, you're not stupid Jack" Will said.
Jack was silent for a few moments, then he turned to face Will and was overwhelmed by the love he saw in Will's eyes. He really didn't deserve him.
"Will, I've been working as a dancer for a couple of theatres. It's mainly matinees I get called to do but I usually don't know until the actual day".
Will laughed. Well it certainly ticked all the boxes. The showers, the tiredness, the phone being switched off…
"Jack, why didn't you tell me? Were you embarrassed? I think it's great if you wanna do that".
"I was doing it for extra money. I was saving up for something and I didn't want you to know what it was. If you knew I was doing the dancing you'd have wondered where the money was going so I thought it best not to say anything. I'm so sorry it's made you doubt me Will".
Will embraced Jack in a hug. He felt a huge relief after being worried sick that Jack had met someone else. They pulled apart and looked into each others eyes.
"So why did you need extra cash Jack? You know you could have come to me".
"I was saving up for us to go to London".
"Wow, really?" Will replied, his face a picture of shock.
"Yeah, really. And with the new laws over there now I wanted us to get married too… it was supposed to be a surprise".
Will's eyes were filling up with tears. He couldn't believe that 5 minutes ago he was convinced that their relationship was over because Jack had found someone else and now they were going to London to get married.
"Oh Jack" Will whispered, hugging Jack so tightly that Jack began to laugh.
"I wanted to show you how much I love you" Jack said into Will's ear.
Will stood up from the sofa and held out a hand for Jack with a seductive look upon his face.
"I don't know if I should take your hand Will, you look like a man with only one thing on his mind" Jack said teasingly.
"Yep, to get down and dirty with my future husband".
"Sold" Jack exclaimed, jumping up and grabbing Will's hand.

GRACE AND NATHAN'S APARTMENT (Wednesday)
Nathan entered the apartment carrying bread and some milk. Grace was sitting on the sofa in her dressing gown and turn to look when Nathan came in.
"Oh, that's where you went?" Grace asked.
"Yeah, I thought about taking some from Will and Jack, but after hearing them last night, I thought it probably wasn't safe".
Grace laughed as she watched Nathan making them both some coffee.
"Sweetie, I've got something to tell you" Grace said.
"Oh yeah" Nathan replied, looking up from the coffee mugs.
"I'm late".
Nathan gave her a bemused look.
"Nathan… I'm late" Grace repeated, laughing a little.
"Yeah, I heard you Grace, but sitting there moaning about it in your dressing gown is just gonna make you even more late for work".
Grace laughed, stood up and made her way over to Nathan. She took his hands in hers and looked him straight in the eye.
"My period… it's late".
A smile crept over Nathan's face.
"Oh my God Grace… really? Have you done a test?".
"There's one in the bathroom, I thought we could do it together".
"As much as I love you sweetie, I'm not gonna watch you pee".
Grace hit Nathan lightly.

WILL AND JACK'S APARTMENT
Will and Jack were lying in bed, they were facing each other and looking into each others eyes, silly smiles all over their faces.
"I should get ready for work" Will said.
"Me too…" Jack replied. "…I wish we could stay here all day and carry on last night".
"Mmm, it was good wasn't it?" Will sasked sleepily.
"It sure was… hubby to be".
Will suddenly sat up and began looking around the room frantically.
"Will, what's up?" Jack asked concerned.
"I've gotta get dressed and go and tell Grace about London".
"What, now?".
"Yep" Will replied, kissing Jack passionately and jumping out of the bed.

GRACE AND NATHAN'S APARTMENT (Wednesday)
Grace and Nathan were both sat on the sofa looking down at the pregnancy test in silence.
"On my God" Grace whispered.
"I know…" Nathan replied. "…it's blue".
They turned to look at each other, grinning madly.
"We're gonna be parents" Grace said excitedly.
Nathan pulled grace into a hug, whispering, "I love you" in her ear.
Pulling away, Grace looked down at the positive test again, shaking her head disbelievingly.
"I can't believe it… oh my God, I've gotta tell Will".
"What, now?" Nathan asked, as Grace shot up and ran over to the door.
"Yep" Grace replied.

HALLWAY
Grace ran out of her apartment to be greeted by Will running out of his apartment.
"Oh my God" they both said together.
"What?" they both asked, together again.
"You first" Will said.
"No you" Grace replied.
"Ok… you know how I thought Jack was cheating, well it turns out he was working as a dancer to earn money for us to get married in London next month, how great is that?".
"Oh wow, I'm so happy for you…" Grace said, giving Will a hug. "…ok, me now… Nathan and I are pregnant".
Will's jaw dropped as he watched Grace grinning like a cheshire cat.
"Grace, that's, that's amazing".
They hugged each other just as the lift doors opened and Karen came walking out. Upon seeing them, she rolled her eyes.
"Can't you two get a room".
"Karen, we've got news, I'm-" Grace began, trailing off as Karen continued to walk into Will and Jack's apartment.

WILL AND JACK'S APARTMENT
Jack was sitting at the table as Karen walked in.
"Hey poodle".
"Hey Karen, guess what?".
"Oh, sweetie, I don't guess" Karen replied, joining Jack at the table.
"Will and I are getting married next month, in London. You have to come with".
"Oh wow honey, that's great. I'd love to come and watch you two mo's get hitched, sounds like fun".
"Thanks Kare, your words really touch me".
They were interrupted by Will and Grace coming through the door.
"I hear you gays are eloping to get married" Karen said to Will.
"Yeah and you're not invited" Will joked.
Will and Grace walked over to Jack and Karen, holding hands.
"Guys, Grace has something to say".
"I'm pregnant".
"Hey G, that's great…" Jack said, standing up and giving Grace a hug. "…can I be the fairy godmother?".
"Of course Jack" Grace replied, laughing.
"Wow, I don't know what to say…" Karen said in a shocked tone, not getting up from the table.
Will, Grace and Jack looked at her with confused expressions.
"Karen… you are happy for me right?" Grace asked.
"Oh honey, yes, of course I am…" Karen replied. "…it's just funny that in a few months time there will be two little ones joining our group".
Grace laughed, stroking her still flat stomach.
"I've only ordered one Karen, there's no way I want twins".
"Oh, I didn't mean that… I came over this morning because I had something I wanted to tell you all… I'm pregnant too".
