Plot: Sequel to Blood is Thicker than Water and takes place 6 months after it. Jack realizes he has feelings for Karen, but what he will do about them is the most difficult decision he will face.
Author's Note #1: This is a very Jack/Karen story. If that doesn't float your boat, better not read.
Author's Note #2: Just want to mention two things I have happen between this story and its prequel. 1. I have Grace and Leo divorcing sometime before this story starts (I never really liked his character anyway, no offense to those who did) 2. I have Katherine and Amber living in Jack's apartment.
Author's Note #3: I always get confused w/ the apartment letters on the show, so if I make a mistake, I'm really sorry about that, but from what I can recall, Will lives in 9C and Jack lives in 9A.
Author's Note #4: Click here to leave me a review!
Disclaimer: I do not own "Will & Grace" or it's characters.

Part 1: November Morning

"So are we going to go see a movie tonight Will?" Grace Adler asked her best friend and roommate as they ate breakfast.

"Sure," Will Truman answered, reading the front page of the New York Times. "What do you want to see?"

"I was thinking maybe 'Master and Commander?'" Grace said tentatively.

"That the one with Russell Crowe?" Will asked. When Grace nodded, he then said, "Okay, let's go to the eight o'clock show."

Grace smiled and then went back to eating her bowl of cereal.

"Good morning everyone on such a beautiful day!" Jack McFarland said, coming through the front door of the apartment.

"Let me guess," Will said, not looking up from his paper. "Kat didn't get a chance to buy some food?"

"Not yet, but I got some coffee for all of us," Katherine Riley, Karen Walker's sister, said, coming into the apartment with a tray of Starbucks coffees.

"Now it's a good day," Grace said, getting up from her chair and taking some of the cups from the tray. "Did you guys get over to Amber's school alright?"

"Yeah, even though Jackie-boy here kept stopping to make snowballs," Katherine said, sitting down at the table.

"What can I say," Jack said, grinning. "Snow is fun."

The other three laughed at that and then they all ate breakfast together.

An hour later, Will got up from the table and put on his jacket and coat. "I'll meet you at seven thirty at the theater okay Gracie?" he said, as he grabbed his briefcase.

"See you there Will," Grace answered.

"Bye," Katherine called as he went out the door.

Jack, who was busy drinking the last of his coffee, waved briefly at Will.

"So what are you guys going to see?" Katherine asked.

"'Master and Commander,'" Grace answered smiling.

"Sounds good," Katherine said. "I need to take Amber to the movies; she's been bugging me to take her to see 'Cat in the Hat.'"

The door to the apartment suddenly burst open and Will ran inside.

"Will?" Grace asked, getting up from the table.

"What's wrong?" Katherine then asked, looking concerned.

"9B," Will said as soon as he caught his breath. "The people are moving out and it's for sale."

Katherine and Grace looked at each other.

"You go Kat," Grace said. "You've got Amber to think about and there's just me."

"Are you sure?" Katherine asked as she got up from the table.

"Yeah, go on and take a look," Grace said.

"Thanks Gracie," Katherine said, smiling. "I'm going to be late though. Tell Karen that I'll meet her for lunch whenever I've finished."

"Wait, are you going to buy it today?" Jack asked.

"Well, I have been saving up for this for a while," Katherine answered. "And besides, I can't live off of you forever Jack... wait a moment, let me rephrase that. What I mean is we can't live with you forever Jack."

"If that's how you're going to thank me for taking you and Amb in, then fine, move out!" Jack said. He got up from the table and left the apartment and walked to his own.

"See you at lunch then?" Katherine asked as he was about to close the door.

"Yep," Jack said, and then he closed his door.

"Do you want me to go with you Kat?" Will asked.

"Of course," Katherine answered. "You are my lawyer after all."

"See you later Grace," Will said.

"I'll try and get to the office before I go meet Karen," Katherine said as she and Will walked out of the apartment.

"Good luck Kat," Grace said.

At twelve o'clock, Katherine walked into the office of Grace Adler Designs.

"Uh-oh," Grace said when she saw the woman. "How did it go?"

"Oh, it went great," Katherine said. "I've got the apartment and Amber and I can move in this weekend."

"Then what's wrong," Grace asked.

"It's coming up the stairs right now," Katherine said as voices were heard outside the office.

"Hi Grace," Karen said, going over to her desk and putting down her purse.

"What does she want now?" Grace asked Katherine.

"She wants her to move into the penthouse," Jack said, coming into the office.

"You do?" Grace asked, surprised.

"Well I've got all that space... okay, okay! I'm jealous of you guys being so close together and all in that building," Karen said. The other three looked at her in disbelief and then she began to laugh. "I was just joking," she said.

"So you don't care I've got my own apartment then?" Katherine asked.

"No honey, you go and live your own life," Karen responded, filing her nails.

"Thank you so much dear sister," Katherine said, taking off her coat and hanging it. "So we're working on the Dolmen apartment?"

"Yes," Grace said, taking out a piece of paper and handing it to her.

"Ew, work. I'm out of here," Jack said. "See you ladies later."

"Bye Jack," Grace said.

"I'll be cooking dinner tonight Jackie," Katherine said.

"Oh good!" Jack said, clapping his hands. "Talk to you later Kare." He went over to her and kissed her cheek before leaving the office.

"Bye poodle," Karen said, trying to hide the fact that she was pleased with the simple kiss. After a few moments, she felt someone was watching her and looked up to see that Katherine was looking at her. "What?" she asked.

"Nothing Kare," Katherine said, smirking. She looked back down at the sketch and work got underway at Grace Adler Designs.
