Chapter 36

That night Karen paced the hotel room floor.

"Karen it's fine. Just come to bed ... it's like 3 am." Jon said.

"I can't believe them. Talking about me ... they don't know me or anything about me. Call me unstable .. I wish I could have just smacked that Bitch ... maybe stabbed her with a fork! Something ... talk about me ... stupid bitches! "

Jon was holding in his laughter he had never seen Karen this again before.

"Are ya done?" He finally asked with a grin on his face.

"I'm sorry." Karen said as she finally sat down. "It's just I hate when people talk about other people like that. What did I ever do to them? You know I really thought that I would like Renee , I mean she seemed like a funny person I followed her a twitter and everything. But in person she is such a bitch. Summer well I always kind of thought she was bitch. But Renee I ... she's got the WWE Universe fooled that's for sure. I mean hell they still think you two are dating."

"What? We never really dated." Jon told Karen and he pulled her closer to him on the bed.

"People don't care. I mean for real they think because you hung out and road together you two are a couple."

"But I've been seen with you? Where do you fit in to this rumor mill?"

Karen couldn't help but laugh "Really Jon you care about what's being said on social media?"

"Hell no ... I can barely text you let alone to anything else and social media is annoying for this reason. I just was curious." Jon told her.

"I know ... and I really haven't been on it much. I just still can't believe that Summer and Renee would run their mouth. I mean when Brie told me I was so embarrassed and it was even worse when I met Ziggler."

"Nick? Nick heard it?" Jon questioned.

"Yeah I mean I think the whole locker room heard. Unbelievable. Maybe I should just quite we'll still see each other on our days off and this way I can be home in Michigan the days your gone. Just maybe I wasn't cut out for this."

"OH Hell No! Don't second guess you're self you are doing a great job! Karen ... who gives a shit what them bitches think or what they said. Screw them ... I don't give a fuck what people think. I will tell them the same thing I told Renee."

"And what was that?"

"That when we have kids it will be our choice and no one's damn business." Jon told her.

"I love you Jon. So much you have no idea."

"I love you too Brown Eyes. Now just relax and try to get some sleep."

The Next Afternoon they were in Milwaukee for the Smackdown taping. Karen was in Jon's locker room talking with her brother on the phone checking in on everything at home.

"He's fine. He's in bed." Brian told her.

"Why? Is he not feeling well?"

"He says he is feeling fine just tired."

"OK I know he has that Doctor's appointment tomorrow at 8 am."

"And you wont be back by then?" her asked her.

"No. We're driving back it's almost a 6 hour drive ... I know we're leaving in the morning. I'll be back sometime tomorrow."

"Alright."

"Look I know this isn't easy for any of us but I called on a few homes yesterday and even some private nurses."

"OK. Hey I watched Raw last night."

"Yeah what did you think. Well the green slim this to childish."

"It's PG Brian." Karen laughed.

"Right I forgot ... it was nice. Hey tell Cena that your brother is a huge fan."

"If you're lucky." Karen told him.

Karen was heading to catering to see if she could find Jon. Stephanie came up to her.

"Hi just the person I was looking for. Walk with me?" Stephanie said.

"OK?" Karen said a little hesitant as they walked around backstage and then headed to the ring.

Karen never got tired of this sight ... even if the arena was empty it was still amazing. Karen couldn't help but look around with a huge smile on her face. Stephanie looked back at Karen.

"It's amazing isn't it."

"Yes ... I mean just think in a few hours there will thousands of WWE fans cheering and booing their favorite super stars. It's just awesome and I am so grateful and blessed to be apart of this. I mean on this side of things anyway." Karen said as she sat down next to Stephanie at the announcer's table.

"Well we are glad to have you. Can I be honest?"

"Of course. We didn't want you working with Renee because of the whole Jon and her thing. Which ... was that even a thing? I don't know. Anyway we liked the idea of adding another face to the Authority a new fresh face."

"Well I am glad you like my face." Karen joked.

Stephanie laughed "I wanted to bring you out here to let you know why we do this. For them." She explained pointing to the empty seats.

"Some of our talent well they forget that. But we wouldn't be here without the WWE Universe. Granted I know that we will never ... ever make everyone happy. Over the years I've learned to accept it but the important thing is that we try our best to make them ... the WWE Fans and supports happy. It's all for entertainment and fun."

"I agree. I have been a wrestling fan for years. I can't honestly say I was a hulkamaniac a little before my time. I am more of a Bret Hart vs Shawn Micheals fan. But I get your point it's fun and I am so honored to be apart of this."

"Good. So you wont be quitting?"

"What?" Karen asked confused as she looked at Stephanie.

"Ambrose came barging into my office and told me that if I didn't control Summer and Renee he couldn't be held liable for his actions or yours. I had no idea what he was talking about so I asked around. Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?" Stephanie asked with a laugh.

"I'm not .. and I would ... I mean no I'm not."

"I know you're not. It's the rumor mill. But I just wanted to have a chat with you and tell you that you are doing a great job. You go this job because Paul and I like you Karen. You're a genuine nice person and a huge fan someone the universe can relate too. The face of the WWE is changing the Authority needs to change with it." Stephanie laughed. "You like the blondes to me deal?"

"Thank you Stephanie I mean it. Thank you for everything. I am truly blessed to be here and I wont let you down." Karen said as Stephanie pulled her into a hug.

"I know you wont or your fired." Stephanie said.

"You were doing so well and then that damn heel turn."

"Being a heel it's what I do." Stephanie laughed.

After the Smackdown taping Karen was waiting for Jon in the back near the door she was playing on her phone when Nikki came up.

"Did you hear?" Nikki asked.

"Hear what Nikki?"

"About Summer and Renee?"

"No what?"

"Apparently they are in trouble Stephanie gave them a huge lecture and told Summer if she didn't improve in the ring and shape up back stage she would be sent back to NXT or even worse fired." Nikki said holding in a smile.

"Renee?"

"She was told that she will be covering a lot more NXT Events and that she wont be doing Main Event."

"She wasn't she was doing superstars."

"I know but they were going to promote her right before the next PPV to Main Event but they told her that probably wont happen and if she causes anymore trouble she'll be fired."

"WOW... all because of the rumors?"

"We have a no bully policy here. Karen didn't you hear ... Be A Star show tolerance and respect." John Cena said as he came up.

"Thanks." Karen said with a smile. "Alright I have to ask and it's ok to say now because I am going a little fan girl on you but could you sign this or my brother he's a huge John Cena fan." Karen asked him as she pulled out one of his photos she had.

"No problem. I didn't know you had a younger brother."

"He's my older brother." Karen said.

John raised and eyebrow.

"I know I don't get why he likes you either ... but he does." Karen joked.

Nikki and John also signed a few things for Parker. Karen felt bad because was never really home to see him anymore. She texted Terri often but it just wasn't the same and she would be moving.

"Hey there darlin." Jon said as he came up and kissed her cheek and put his arm around her. "You ready to get the hell out of here?"

"Yes."

"What time is your flight?" Nikki asked them.

"We are actually driving." Jon told them they were all still standing in the back of the arena they could still hear a few fans out there.

"To Vegas?" Cena asked.

"No Michigan."

"I see across the pond." Cena joked.

"Something like that." Karen laughed.

After they said a few more good byes they headed out to the car. Jon could hear some of the fans start to chant "Ambrose , Ambrose."

"Do you mind?" Jon asked.

"No go right ahead." Karen smiled as she watched Jon toss their bags into the car and head over to the fence.

Karen watched him interact with some of the fans he was talking to them and signing the autographs. He was so grateful to his fans , of course he got annoyed when they would grab him but if they were cool with him he was cool with them. After a few minutes Jon finally came back to the car and they both waved as they drove by ... they could see the flashing of the cameras as well.

"You are an amazing guy you know that Ambrose." Karen told him as she softly grabbed his hand.

"Got to remember who pays your bills you know. I mean without them ... none of us would be here."

"You are so right Lover! So right." Karen said as she kissed his cheek.

The next morning Karen and Jon were up and on the road by 9 am.

"Jon I told you , you didn't have to drive me all the way back to Michigan." Karen said as they were driving down the road.

"Right and how were you going to get back? You can't drive , you can't fly?"

"Train duh."

"Right like I would let my hot sexy girlfriend take a train by herself not happening."

"I told you the other day you are not the boss of me."

"Oh you'll learn ... I am totally the boss."

"No I the boss." Karen joked.

"I love your smile it's so real and genuine. I could watch you smile all day."

"Jon I have ever reason to smile. I have you. You are my dream come true ... the answer to my prayers. All those cliché things ... well You are the reason I am happy. I never imagine I would ever get to meet you and here we are now ... in this car together ... and ..." Karen said as they were now holding hands.

"And we've had sex? Amazing sex?" Jon grinned. "That's what you were going to say wasn't it brown eyes."

"Something like that Lover." Karen laughed. "I do love you Jon."

"I love you too Karen."

Over the next several hours Jon and Karen just talked. Jon really opened up once again about his childhood and how wrestling really did save him and about his time in Porta Rico. She opened up about he life and how she was raised poor and knew that she had to make something of her self , also more about her dad.

" I know I should feel bad because of what happened to him. But I don't ... I just ... I just stopped caring. I mean he was in the ICU and all I kept thinking about was is today the day he is going to get worse and die? I mean who thinks like that Jon? Is there something wrong with me?"

"No baby. No , I get what you're saying the guy was a dead beat ass whole who didn't do anything ... I get it. But Karen you are far from a horrible person you have been helping take care of him."

"I think I do it more for my mom. She's been amazing but after the stroke ... we've fought more since then. Than we have my whole life. Yeah we fought when I was in high school but nothing like we do now. I know it pissed her off when I told her that I don't care any more and that basically I couldn't care. I take care of him and get his meals but there is no father daughter relationship. I don't know if there ever really was one. It was always one side ... I mean I remember this one time he had some extra money and he wanted to take me on a daddy daughter date. I want to say I was 15 maybe 14 I can't really remember but he took me out to dinner and to the movies. I laughed and joke around with him but to be honest I just wanted to go got he movie and I knew that if just told him what he wanted to hear then thing would be fine between us. So for years I bottled up my feelings towards that man and only the people closest to me know the truth about it. Sorry I'm rambling." Karen said as she looked over at Jon.

"Karen it's fine ... we both have thing we need to talk to each other about. But I have to say one thing"

"What's that?" she questioned.

"If he didn't have a stroke and he was healthy I would punch that selfish ass in the face for treating you like shit all those years."

"It's alright now. He actually taught me how not to raise my kids. I want them to have everything that I didn't. I want them to know that no matter what they can do anything. If I promise them something then I am damn well sure gonna make sure they get it." Karen stated. "I never want my kids to feel like it did."

"I agree I want to be the type of dad that is around for my kids. Hell I don't even know my dad and we all know about my mom. I don't ever want my kid to go through the hell that I did. I will do everything on the God's Green Earth to make sure our kids are happy and loved." He said.

Karen couldn't help but smile. "Does he realize he just said our kids? Don't make a big deal about it ... who knows if that will ever happen but I can't help that was so hot they way he talked about his kids." Karen said to herself.

She leaned over and kissed his cheek.

"You are one in a million Jon Good and I am so blessed to call you mine."

"I love you brown eyes." Jon told her.

A little after 2pm they finally reached Karen's house as Jon pulled into the drive way.

"You ready for this darlin?" Jon said.

"Ready as I will ever be." Karen told him.

"No matter what I am right here with you brown eyes." Jon told her as he pressed his lips to hers for a passionate kiss.
