Plot: Karen gets a surprise after "visiting" Stan in prison.
Disclaimer: I do not own "Will & Grace".

Karen Walker looked at Grace Addler. Grace after three days of being uncouncious had woken up and told her three friends what she had dreamed. Now Karen sat with Grace while Will and Jack went to get something to drink.

"Karen, what are you looking at?" Grace asked, looking away from the window.

"You honey! What it must be like to live in your head!" Karen said rolling her eyes.

Karen walked over to the window. Grace conitued to think about how weird her dream had been. How she had dreamed she was married to Leo, but he was really a doctor at the hospital who was married with six children. She also couldn't believe that she had dreamed Stan and Karen had gotten a divorce, yeah like Karen would ever divorce Stan.

"Knock Knock!"Will said interrupting Grace's thought. Will and Jack handed out the drinks and Will went to sit on the bed with Grace and Jack went to Karen.

"Hey Kare Bear, what's wrong?"Jack asked, putting his arm around Karen. He had noticed over the past three weeks, ever since Stan had gotten out of prison, that Karen hadn't been herself.

"Oh nothing poodle!" Karen said still looking out of he window. "C'mon Karen, what's worng?" Jack moved closer. Karen looked at the big window which showed all of Manhattan, but reflected the room. She could see how Will and Grace looked, she thought about how worried will had been over Grace. Karen finally truned around.

"Oh poodle, it's Stan, he's goin' back to prison!" Kare said, very low so not to disburb Will and Grace.

"Oh Karen, I'm so sorry!" Jack felt bad for his best friend in the entire world. Karen was one that didn't show emotion very often, especially hurt, but now that she was she was very vunerable and Jack could tell.

"So, what was with Karen yesterday?" Grace asked the next day after finally getting to come home.

"Uh gee, I don't know! Maybe something was wrong with Karen, because she is Karen!" Will said sarcastically as he handed her a cup of coffee. Grace couldn't help but smile, but thought about Karen still. "So have you decided if you want to keep trying to have a baby?" Will asked, sitting down beside of Grace.

"Well,"Grace began and sat down her coffee, "I was thinking, why don't we keep on trying but right now go shopping for baby clothes?" Grace asked smiling.

"No no no! You're suppose to be resting for the next few days, doctor's orders!" Will said pulling her back on the couch. Grace shrugged at her failed attempt and they sat back and talked.

With a weeks passing, Grace had been able to catch up on work and was getting ready to me insimainated again and Karen had gotten use to Stan being gone again, but now had another thought on her mind.

"Wow, Karen, what are you doin' here at eight in the mroning?" Grace asked very shocked to see Karen.

"Morning!" Karen mumbled and quickly walked to her desk. "Uh, have there been any calls?" Karen asked going through things on her desk.

"No! Uh, Kare, is something wrong?" Grace asked going over to Karen's desk.

"No honey, why?" Karen asked siling.

"Well, I know that Stan went back to prison!"

"Oh, who cares about one ton phoey?" Grace nodded and went back to her desk.

Later that day, around televe, Karen had left for lunch and Grace was getting ready to leave for lunch when the phone started to ring. Karen bounced but was too engrossed in the catalouge she was looking at to answer the phone. Grace looked at Karen and then quickly picked up the phone.

"Grace Addler Designs!" Grace chimmed.

"This is Doctor Jordon's office, I need to speak to Anastia Beverhousin!" the women on the other end said.

"Karen, phone, it's Dr.Jordon'ts office!" Grace said, placing her hand over the phone. Karen placed the catalouge down and picked up the phone. Grace put the phone back down on the reciever and was about to leave when she saw Karen put down the phone. Karen looked had a far, distant look in her eyes.

"Kare, are you alright?" Grace asked going over to her.

"Yes honey, I'm fine! Just go to lunch!" Karen said motioning for her to leave. Grace shrugged and left. Karen sat there for a few minutes fidgtting nervously with a pen when Jack walked in.

"Oh poodle, thank God you're here!" Karen said quickly getting up and going to Jack.

"Oh, Karen, what's wrong?" Jack asked as they walked over to Grace's desk, where there was a baset of apple. "Oooh, free fruit!" Jack said grabbing one.

"Now, what's wrong?" Jack attmepted to say through a moutful of apple.

"Uh, well, a few weeks ago when Stan got out of prison, we had a litte 'celebration', anyway, long story short, I'm pregnant!" Karen said letting a nervous giggle escape from her lips.

"Ouw hat?" Jack asked through a bigger bite of apple.

"Pregnant! I'm pregnant!" Karen said, relizing that the more she voice it loud the more she grasped on to it.

"Oh Karen, that's so great! You are planning to keep the baby, right?" Jack asked swallowing the mouthful of apple.

"Of course I am! But Jack, I need your help! I possibly can't take care of a...kid!" Karen said.

"I dunno notin' about raisin' a kid!" Jack corrected.

"Oh, but honey, you and Wilma took care of homo and homo's baby! Remember?"

"Uh, Will took care of that kid! Not me!"

"Oh, well, I don't want Will's help but this does call for a celebration!" Karen said going to the minibar and pulling out a bottle of vodka.

"Uh, Karen, what do ya think your doin'?" Jack asked, putting his hand on his hip.

"Celebrating the baby!" Karen aswered innocently.

"The only advice I can give you about pregnancy is you don't drink!" Jack took the vodka from Karen and put it back in the minibar.

Karen narrowed her eyes.

A month later Karen had still only told Jack and had changed her life style alot. Grace hadn't concieved yet, so Karen would have something else now to flaunt in Grace's face. Karen slowly walked out of the bathroom, her face drained of all color and she was tired. Karen still in a robe, walekd to her closet where Rosario was putting things away.

"What are you doing in here?" Karen abruptly asked.

"What does it look like? Anway, what's wrong with you? Did the booze finally get to you?" Rosario asked her hands on her hip. "What's with the third degree? Huh?"

"Lady, I've worked for you over twenty years, and in those twenty years the liqour cabinet has never been full!"

"Fine, if you must know, I'm pregnant!"

"Saint Maria, it breeds!" Rosario said totally shocked. Karen narrowd her eyes and went to get ready. "Mr. Stan is the father isn't he?" Roasario asked.

"Yes, of course Stanley is the father, he's the only man I've been with in three months!"Karen rolled her eyes.

"Karen's comin' over!" Jack said boucing into Will and Grace's apartment.

"Shh, Grace is still asleep!" Will said from the ktichen. "Why is Karen coming over? Isn't there enough evil on this side of New York?"

Jack joined Will in the kitchen and went through the refridgerator.

"It's very important that Karen's comin' over!" Jack said, perching up on the counter.

By the time Karen had arrived, Grace had gotten up and they were all sitting on the couch watching television when the doorbell rang. Will went to answer the door while Jack pushed Grace to the couch in the livngroom.

"Ah, Bealsabob, come to spread pain and misery?" Will asked opening the door.

"Oh Wilman, gays and their humor! No!" Karen said smiling. "Actually, I have some news!"

Karen walked in and stood in front of the couch where they sat.

"Uh, well, I'm pregnant!" Karen said with half a smile.

Everyone gave her a strange look except for Jack.

"Oh God, Rosemary's baby!" Will said laughing.

"Oh, Karen, congratulations!" Grace said hugging her.

"Ok honey, thank you!" Karen pushed away.

Several months had passed and Karen was now seven months pregnant. Will was at work and Jack was teaching his class and Grace had went shopping with Karen. They now stood in the middle of a baby store.

"Oh, Karen look!" Grace said pointing to a stuffed ear.

"That is cute!" Karen said and threw it in the buggy. The past few months Karen had changed. Even though she was still cruel sometimes, she had became nicer in a few other ways. Grace and Karen were getting a crib when someone called out Karen's name. Karen quickly turned around to see Beverly Lesley.

"Well, well, Karen Walker! Knocked up and single!" Beverly laughed.

"March is next week, don't you and your people have a holiday to get ready for?" Karen hissed. Beverly scowled, trying to think of a comeback.

"Don't you have an appointment with martini?" Beverly retorted.

"No!" Karen made a face.

"Then leave!"

"I'm not leaving, you leave! Wait, why are you here?" Beverly looked down and back up at Karen.

"My wife's niece is pregnant and I have to buy something for her!" Beverly quivered.

"Kare, c'mon, I have to et to the office by eleven!" Grace said, tugging on Karen's arm. Karen insulted Beverley a few more times and then went back to shopping. After they had gotten everything, they had it delivered to the Walker Mansion. They then went to the office.

Several more weeks had passed and it was now two days pass Karen's due date. Jack and Karen were standing in the nursery. Since Karen wasn't sure if she was having a girl or boy, she had it painted a pale yellow. The furniture was mahogany.

"Oh Karen, you're a mother!" Jack said smiling.

"I know poodle! I know!" Karen said as she sat down in the rocker.

"How do you feel Kare?" Jack placed his hand on Karen's shoulder.

"Fine!" Karen said rubbing her stomach. Jack smiled at her. Jack and Karen started to put different toys different places when a sharp pain went through her stomach. "Jack go get Rosario or driver! I think I'm in...LABOR!" Karen screeched.

At the hospital Rosario and Jack sat in the waiting room. The doctor had asked them to wait outside while they checked her out.

"Do you think we should call Stan?" Jack asked nervously moving around.

"She called Mr.Stan from the limo! Don't you remember her yelling?" Rosario asked as she crochet.

"Oh, yeah, I'm just so nervous! She looked like she was in so much pain!" Jack cringed. Rosario nodded and went back to crocheting. Will and Grace quickly walked off the elevator.

"We came as soon as we got the message!'" Will said.

"The doctor is checking on her right now!" Jack said. They all sat down and the doctor said that they all could go in and see Karen. Grace was the first one in the room.

"Hi Karen, how ya feeling?" Grace asked walking over to her.

"It hurts like hell!" Karen screamed. Grace patted Karen's hand gently. Karen was very annoyed and when another contraction came she grabbed Grace's hair and pulled as hard as possible. "SHUT UP!" Karen screamed.

"Oh,oh, oh, let go, let go, let go!" Grace yelled and pulled away and quickly exited. "Calling next friend!" Grace said rubbing her sore scab.

"I'll go!" Jack said, walking to the room. "Hey Kare Bear, how ya doin?" Jack asked as he walked into the room.

"Come here poodle!" Karen said motioning him closer. Jack put his hand on Karen's shoulder.

"Are you in a lot of pain?"

"YES!" Karen screamed and dug her nails into Jack's arm. Jack started screaming louder than Karen and Will quickly walked in.

"Jack, go outside! I'll deal with her!" Will said getting Karen's nails out of Jack's arm and went to her. Jack slowly walked out, still rubbing his arm. "C'mon Karen, it's!" Will was cut off by Karen grabbing his tie.

"I'M DYING!" Karen screamed.

"Alright, you just spat in my eye!" Will said wiping his eyes.

"THIS HURTS!" Karen screamed, pulling his tie tighter.

"Karen, you're choking me!" Will gaged. When the contractions stopped, Karen let go. Will quickly ran out of the room.

"Uh, Rosario, I think she wants to talk, or kill you!" Will said.

"Alright, I'll go!'Rosario sat her things down and stood up. She was walking when she heard a familiar voice.

"Kiki, where's my Kiki?" A women that looked like Karen, just older and with shorter hair yelled as she ran down the hallway.

"Is that Karen's mom?" Grace asked looking at the women.

"Yeah, that's Lois Whitley!" Jack said shocked.

"How does she know Karen's in labour?" Will asked. By now Lois had made her way to them.

"Where's my Kiki?" She asked, distraughtly.

"How do you know she's here?" Rosario asked.

"Her husband called!" Lois said, calming down.

"Oh, well she is in there!" Will said.

"But you might wanna be careful, she's out to kill!" Grace said still rubbing her sore scab. Lois didn't pay them any attention and walked into the room. Karen was lying there in pain.

"Kiki!" Lois said quietly. Karen looked up.

"Oh cripes, what are you doin' here?" Karen asked, fighting so not to let the pain get to her.

"Stan called me, he told me everything! Ya know Kiki, once you have this baby, you could pass it off as other me's and get a load of child support!" Lois said smiling.

"I want you out!" Karen said grabbing her mother's wrist.

"Kiki you don't mean that!"

"My name is Karen! And yes I do! I am gonna have my first child, your grandchild, and you're already wanna start using it as a pawn in one of your games?" Karen had never been so angry. In the past nine months Karen had grown to love this child and until now she had never realized it. When Karen looked up, Rosario was there. She was about to say something but before she could a sharp pain hit her.

"AHHHH!" Karen screamed loudly.

"Listen Boozo the clown shut your whining! Think about giving life to your baby, not the pain you're going through!" Rosario said.

"You don't know how bad this hurts!"

"What are you talking about? I have three kids in El Salvador!"

"You just squat in a jungle!"

"Listen lady, if you don't shut your yap, I'll rip your insides out!" Karen quickly sat up in bed.

Hours later everyone sat in the room with Karen. After six hours she wasn't ready to have her baby. "I WANT MY PILLS, GIVE ME MY PILLS!" Karen screamed.

"Karen, are you.." Will began.

"STANELY WALKER, YOU FAT BASTARD I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL! YOU DID THIS TO ME!" Karen screamed. In a few minutes the doctor came in and Karen was ready to have her baby!

"Just push Mrs. Walker!" The doctor said.

"It hurts!" Rosario walked over to Karen.

"When it hurts, grab my had and squeeze!" Karen did and soon after she had her baby. The room was suddenly filled with screams from the baby and crying from both Karen and the baby.

"It's a boy!" The doctor said handing Karen her baby. Karen was so shocked and so over come with emotion she didn't know what to do, except cry and kiss him. She now knew what it felt like to love.
