After their little performance, Will and Karen went back to the table to try to reason with Grace and Jack. They walked over hand in hand, Karen wanted to give them more time to cool down but Will knew that they needed to settle this once and for all, so he was dragged Karen over to their table and glared at Grace. Karen knew that Grace was much more mad at her than she was at Will, so she decided to shield herself behind Will.

"We need to talk about this." Will said trying to control the anger he felt towards her.

"I don't have anything to say to either of you." Grace said coldly.

"What the hell is your problem Grace?" he yelled.

"You know exactly what my problem is!"

"I thought best friends were supposed to support each other?" at that Grace stood up and begin yelling at him.

"Yeah well you have Karen for that until she ditches you like she does everyone else!"

"You are being completely ridiculous! And what about you Jack? After all of the things Karen has done for you, after all of the times she's been there for you, the times we've both been there for you, you don't have the decency to be there for us?"

" I love you both, I really do, but I know this isn't going to work and you should know that too." he said somewhat sadly. He really did feel bad, but he didn't think that the two of them as a couple would ever work.

"He's right Will, I mean, come on your gay!"

Karen watched the tremendous argument in amazement. She couldn't believe this was happening. She could feel her heart beating a mile a minute in her throat, then a sharp pain went through her right side and she painfully clutched Will's shoulder. Sweat collected on her brow, and the room began to spin, she could hardly breathe. All she could hear was Will and Grace continuing to yell at one another.

"Will!" she screamed. All three of them turned around to see what was wrong.

"Oh my God, Karen what's wrong?" Will said worried. Her face was pale and he out his arm around her for support.

"I... I..." she gasped for air and held her side, then she collapsed to the floor.

"Karen! Somebody call 911!" he screamed as he held her limp body close to him.

Will, Grace, and Jack all waited in the hospital waiting room silently. None of them had said a word to each other since they had gotten to the hospital and the doctors took Karen away.

"She's going to be okay right?" Will said sadly.

"I hope so sweetie." Grace rubbed his back. Even though the four of them had just had the biggest they'd ever had, they loved each other and intended on being there for each other in times of need.

"Yeah Will, Karen's a strong person, whatever may have happened to her, she's going to be fine." Jack said comfortingly.

"Will, I'm really sorry about before, it's just I thought you guys were just going to call yourself a couple for a week and then be done with it. I thought it was just a phase, but now that I see how worried you are about her, I know that you really love her."

"I know Gracie, thank you." he hugged her.

"I'm sorry too Will, you guys have always been there for me and I should have supported you. I'm sorry." he hugged Will as well.

"God I hope she's okay." Will said again.

"I can't even begin to imagine what life would be like without Karen around." Jack sighed.

"I don't want to." Grace said sadly.

"Don't say that. I don't even want to think about it. She's going to be fine." Will said trying to convince both of them and himself.

An hour later a doctor walked into the waiting room and approached the three of them.

"Hello I'm Dr. Scavo, are you with Mrs. Walker?" he asked.

"Umm, yes, is... is she okay?" Will stammered.

"Yes, she's going to be fine." they all let out a sigh of relief. "Mrs. Walker just had a severe anxiety attack which triggered an appendicitis attack. It was most likely brought on by a large amount of stress that she may have been experiencing." he smiled at them reassuringly.

"Can we see her?"

"Yes, but we needed to operate because of the appendicitis, so she's still a bit drowsy. Right this way, I'll take you to her room."

"Thank you so much." Will said as they followed the doctor to Karen's room.

"You're very welcome. Mrs. Walker is lucky to have friends like you that care so much for her." he said stopping in front of the door to Karen's room. "You can go on in."

"Thank you."

When they entered the room Karen was asleep, and they went over to her bedside and Will took her right hand in his and Jack went to the other side and took her right, while Grace sat at the foot of the bed. Karen opened her eyes and smiled at the three of them.

"Hey kids, everything's okay I take it." she said groggily.

"Yeah, we're fine sweetie, did the doctor talk to you?" Will said brushing her hair out of her face.

"Yeah, he talked to me. And he said this happened because of a 'large amount of stress', which means you guys' insanity actually hurt someone." she smiled. The four of them laughed.

"Yeah, about that Karen, we're really sorry. We realize now that you and Will really love each other. And umm... I'm sorry I called you a whore. I never thought you were a whore."

"Oh, it's okay. Forgive and forget right honey." she winked at Grace.

"Come on Jack, let's leave these two alone." Grace said standing up. She walked over to Karen and gave her a hug goodbye. "Feel better Kare."

"Get well soon Karebear." Jack gave her a kiss and they both said goodbye to Will, and then left.

"Come lay with me." she patted the side of the bed.

"Karen, you just got operated on, you need to heal."

"Please..." she pouted.

"Karen..."

"Please... if you love me you will." she continued to pout.

"Fine, but if I hurt you just let me know okay."

"Okay." she smiled.

He climbed into bed with her gently and wrapped his arms around her. She nuzzled into the crook of his neck and closed her eyes. He stroked her hair and she soon fell asleep. He sat there thinking about how scared he had gotten when he thought about losing Karen. He had never felt this way about anyone before. He needed to show her how much he really did love her. Then he fell asleep as well.
