The next morning, Karly woke up and got up and got dressed and went downstairs and ate some breakfast. She felt arms around her from behind and lips on her neck.
"Morning baby," Luke said.
"Morning, handsome," Karly said.
"What have you decided?" Luke asked.
"Mental hospital, you will donate alot of money to have them keep her there indefinitely," Karly said.
"Sounds like a plan, baby, let's go," Luke said. She sent a quick message to her mother asking her to keep Jackson for another night and they went to the family home and went downstairs.
"Wakey wakey!" Karly said. The waitress woke up and saw them and sat up.
"Please let me live," she said.
"Oh you will, we decided that you are going to the mental institution, indefintely, you are never getting out," Karly said.
"Oh god," she said.
"Any last words before you get taken there?" Karly asked.
"I know who you guys were all along, this whole thing was not my idea," she said.
"Oh really, whose bright idea was it," Karly said.
"Your husband's," she said.
"My husband's dead, died of cancer, so unless he came up with it few months ago, you are seriously delusional," Karly said.
"Kevin Parker, your husband, he's still alive," she said.
"Impossible, he died in the kitchen of their home in her arms," Luke said.
"I heard that your sister faked his death before, he did it again, to see how quick you would go back to Luke, only a month before you went running into his arms," she said.
"So who was buried in his coffin then, because we doubled checked it all at the funeral home and the funeral, real body," Karly said.
"His long lost twin brother, who had the same cancer, he was the one who died in the kitchen, the real Kevin was with me," she said. Karly looked at Luke.
"You are insane," Luke said.
"Think I'm lying, go to my apartment, he's there waiting for me to come back with news, my sister doesn't know about him, she doesn't know where I live now," she said. She gave them the address and Karly looked at Luke.
"Let's go check this out, but if you are wrong about this, if this is some sort of sick joke, I will be rethinking my decision," Karly said. She and Luke went to the apartment and using her keys, they unlocked the door and went in and looked around. They heard a noise and footsteps and they turned and saw Kevin standing there.
"Oh my god," Karly said.
"Oh god," Kevin said.
"Kevin?" Luke asked.
"Yeah it's me," Kevin said.
"You have got to be kidding?!" Karly said.
"No, Karly, I'm alive," Kevin said.
"Did you even have cancer?" Karly asked.
"Yeah, but I'm in remission," Kevin said.
"Who died on the kitchen floor because that was a real guy," Karly said.
"Someone did really die so who was he?" Luke asked.
"A guy who had terminal cancer and I paid him to have surgery to look like me," Kevin said.
"So you sent this man into your home that you shared with your wife and son, let him touch her," Luke said.
"No, the morning he died, we switched places, he was waiting outside with Mindy, he died while waiting and she texted me and told me and we moved him and that's where Karly found him, and she called you," Kevin said.
"You were watching," Karly said.
"I had to," Kevin said.
"Why do all this?" Karly asked.
"Because I had to see for myself, I had to see how long it would take for you to go running back to him," Kevin said.
"And how long did you see it took," Karly said.
"You left town and I lost track of you and didn't know you were back in town until Mindy saw our house up for sale, and saw you guys moving stuff out," Kevin said.
"Because I thought you were dead, me and Jackson left town and went on a trip for a month, I came back to Luke, because I thought you were gone for good this time, you told me that when you died, that you wanted me to move on so I gave myself time and moved on," Karly said.
"So you came up with the plan to make Karly sick?" Luke asked.
"That was her plan, she knew I wanted my wife back, so she came up with the plan to make Karly sick enough to go to the bathroom and come back and find Mindy all over you and she would leave you and I would come back to her miraculously," Kevin said.
"How would you know that we would be at that restaurant where she works?" Luke asked.
"Reservations you made the day before," Kevin said.
"I can't believe this," Karly said.
"Karly, I had to see how much he meant to you, how fast you would go running back to him if you thought I was out of the picture," Kevin said.
"A month, it took a month, because I thought I was grieving you, it was not immediate, it didn't take a day, it took a month!" Karly said.
"Karly, we should tell him," Luke said.
"Besides if you had waited long enough, you would have wanted out of the marriage, I'm pregnant, with Luke's baby, whatever she put in that drink would have killed his baby!"Karly said.
"Oh god," Kevin said sitting down.
"A baby who would have been your son's baby brother or sister," Luke said.
"Your son, Luke, remember that," Karly said.
"What," Kevin said.
"Luke adopted Jackson," Karly said.
"The adoption is invalid if I hadn't signed over my parental rights," Kevin said.
"You don't have any if you have been declared dead, so legally you have no claim on Jackson because Kevin Parker is legally dead," Karly said.
"Oh god," Kevin said.
"And our marriage is no more because technically I'm a widow, so you better figure out a new name," Karly said.
"Karly, I'm sorry, I didn't know what else to do," Kevin said.
"How about talking to me, when you came back from what Hayley did to you, what happened, Luke and I ended things and I came back to you, because we were married and had a son, you didn't trust me to honor our vows, did you!" Karly said.
"I did, I just was insecure," Kevin said.
"A marriage is based on trust, Kevin, being a lawyer, you should know that!" Karly said.
"I did trust you, I didn't trust him," Kevin said.
"Unbelievable!" Luke said.
"Luke knew what was going to happen when you showed up alive, he knew I would be with my husband, he let me go, when I went to end things, he was distant, like he knew it had to happen," Karly said.
"I knew when I saw you in that cell, that it was over between me and Karly, I knew she would go back to you, and I knew I had to let her go," Luke said.
"Karly," Kevin said.
"What," Karly said.
"I'm sorry, I am going to get my life back," Kevin said.
"But Jackson and I won't be a part of it, you destroyed that when you faked your death, I'm done, I'm staying with Luke this time," Karly said.
"Let's go, baby," Luke said. She took his hand and they walked out the door.
Karly and Luke arrived home and she called Austin, Eric, and her mom to come over. They came over and Karly took Jackson and hugged him close as Luke told them what was going on.
"Oh my god," Austin said.
"You have got to be kidding!" Eric said.
"We couldn't believe it ourselves," Luke said.
"How could he not have faith in Karly and their marriage!" Amy said.
"I'm not going back to him this time," Karly said.
"Good, after all that, he doesn't deserve you," Austin said.
"Karly, give us the address of where he is and we will go see him and talk to him, we will take care of it," Amy said.
"Mom," Karly said.
"Don't argue with me, Karly," Amy said. Karly told them where Kevin was and they left. Luke hugged her and Jackson to him.
"I love you," Luke said.
"I love you too," Karly said.
"Now about the girl," Luke said.
"Oh right, her, tell Drew and Sam to take her to the mental institution," Karly said.
"Okay, baby," Luke said. He went to make the call. Karly sat down on the couch with Jackson.
"I love you, my boy, we are going to have a good life here with Daddy, Luke is your father now, always will be, he is our future," Karly said quietly to him. Jackson cooed and she smiled.
"I'm glad you agree with me, we will have a good life here, you, me, Daddy, and your baby brother or sister, you are going to be the best big brother aren't you," Karly said. She kissed Jackson's forehead. Luke came back in and sat down. Jackson reached for him and Luke took him and held him in his lap and Jackson snuggled against Luke.
"Drew and Sam are taking her to the mental institution, I called ahead and talked with the director and everything is in place and ready for when they get there, Drew said she will cooperate," Luke said. Karly nodded.
"We should tell her sister where she is," Karly said.
"Drew and Sam will go to the restaurant and see if she's working and tell her," Luke said.
"I wonder what my mom and brothers are doing," Karly said.
"They will tell us when they are done, right now let's go watch a movie, baby," Luke said. He got up and she took Jackson.
"Okay," Karly said. They went to the home theater and he put a movie in. She saw what it was.
"Luke, this is one of my favorite movies!" Karly said.
"I know," Luke said smiling. He sat down and pulled her back against him while she held Jackson. He wrapped his arms around them as they watched the first movie of the Hobbit Trilogy. Jackson fell asleep against her. He paused it so she can go put him down in his crib and she came back and sat back down against him and he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck.
"I love you baby, so much," Luke said.
"I love you too," Karly said. They sat there watching the movie. Soon she looked up at him and saw him watching her and he kissed her deeply. He laid her on the couch and moved on top of her and they removed each other's clothes. She wrapped herself around him as he slid inside her body. He moved slowly and gently. He rested his forehead against hers and stared into her eyes.
"Oh god Luke," Karly said.
"You feel so good baby," Luke said. He crushed his mouth to hers as he went faster and harder. He lifted her leg up allowing him to go deeper with each thrust as he pounded her wetness. She came around him and he came inside her emptying himself. He laid gently on top of her and buried his face in her neck. She kissed his shoulder.
"I love you, baby, I love you so much," Luke said.
"I love you more," Karly said. They got up and got dressed and finished the movie and came out of the theater room and sat on the couch just as Austin, Eric, and Amy came in.
"Well?" Karly asked.
"He's going to reclaim his life, he's going to come forward and tell the truth of who is buried in the cemetery," Amy said.
"Oh god," Karly said.
"That means his rights to Jackson will be restored and the adoption will be null and void, and his marriage to Karly will be valid," Luke said.
"Actually he's signing away his parental rights, he will make sure the adoption stays valid," Austin said.
"He said that?" Luke asked.
"He owes it to you guys, for what he did," Eric said.
"Okay, then I'll call Jack tomorrow to file divorce papers," Karly said.
"We will support you all the way, honey," Amy said.
"He wants to meet with you and Luke tomorrow at noon at the coffee shop next to the agency," Eric said.
"Fine," Karly said. Amy, Austin, and Eric hugged them and left. Luke led her to their bedroom after he had locked up the house and they removed each other's clothes and they got into the shower and they made love in the shower. They washed off and got out and got into bed and made love again before falling asleep in each other's arms.
