"You are careless. I blame you and if people want to look at me like I'm the bad guy. Well geez they're just as bad as you are Jon. You left a lot of pieces, a lot of broken dreams and a lot of disappointed fans laid upon my feet and they're begging for something now. Huh? What kind of wrestler does that? OK well I'm gonna, I'm gonna beat up the best wrestler in the world check. I want to go to Japan now check. Can … Can I do some indies check. Can I do a hard core match check. See Jon I .. I would love to wish you a speedy recovery. That's what I'm suppose to say but at this point I could really give a shit if you ever come back."
"Omega you cocky mother fucker. You just wait this isn't over. I am gonna come back and kick your ass. Call me unprofessional." Jon scoffed sitting up in bed watching this promo yet again on his phone.
"Love how many times are you gonna watch that promo?" Karen asked her eyes still closed half a sleep.
"I didn't mean to wake you baby." Jon said leaning down and kissing her forehead.
"I've been awake since the I blame you part." Karen said opening her eyes and looking up at her husband.
"He's a smug S.O.B isn't he?" Jon chuckled.
"Yes love." Karen said her eyes closed again still sleepy.
Jon laughed looking at his tired wife.
"You're that tired? Are you swore?" He asked.
"After last night you have to ask?" She said with a smirk. "But yes I am tired and a little swore."
"Sorry if I got to rough last night." He said. "But I told you baby. Jon Moxley is on a mission." He said with a chuckle.
"Oh really? Is that what we call it now? A mission?" She said shaking her head.
"Yep. Not to toot my own horn or anything but I have to say last night mission complete." He grinned putting his good arm behind his head and leaning back against the head bored.
"You are pretty damn sure of yourself Moxley." Karen said opening her eyes.
"I am Jon Moxley baby." He said wiggling a little bit.
"Jon listen it may take time. I mean I've only been off the pill less than a month. So just be patient."
"Patients is my middle name." He said. "Besides practicing is fun. Round three?" He asked wiggling his eye brows up and down.
"Sorry Mr. Patients but our son is awake now and he's gonna want breakfast. Not to mention I have errands to run today." She said getting up and heading into the bathroom to get ready for the day. Jon couldn't help but check her out as she walked away.
While Karen was in the shower. She kept thinking to herself how she hoped she was making the right choice by going off the pill. Was this the right time to bring another life into the world?
Jon stretched a little tossed on a pair of gym shorts and headed to Jagger's room. As he opened the door he noticed the toddler trying to climb out his crib.
"Jagger Joseph what are you doing boy?" Jon asked his son.
Jagger giggled. "Wakie Wakie Daddy."
"Yes I see you're awake." Jon smiled going over and scooping him up with his none braced arm and getting out his clothes for the day. "Damn boy you pissed enough." Jon said noticing his extra full diaper. Jagger laid on the floor wiggling and kicking his little legs. Giggling away at his daddy. Jon started getting him ready for the day.
"Hey don't move so much little man. Dad's working with one arm here." Jon said as he was changing his diaper.
Karen and Jagger loved having Jon home all the time. He didn't need to rush to the airport. They got to spend time as a family doing so called normal family things.
"There you are all ready for the day." Jon said as Jagger stood up.
"I weady." He giggled leaning forward and hugging his Dad.
Jon couldn't believe that in a few short months his little man was going to be two years old. He was talking a lot more now. It seemed he would say something new every day. Jon realized that he missed a lot when he was on the road and how much Karen actually did to keep their house a home.
Karen finished getting ready for the day and then came down stairs. She saw Jon in the kitchen starting to make breakfast shirtless.
"Good morning sexy man." Karen smiled wrapping her arms around him and kissing the back of his shoulder.
"Good morning beautiful." He smiled.
"Mommma!" Jagger said from his high chair.
"Good morning to you little man. Are you eating your fruit." Karen smiled kissing her son on top of the head.
"Look I dressed our son and changed his diaper. I am getting use to doing things with one arm." Jon said proud.
"Let's hope his diaper stays on this time." Karen said stealing a piece of bacon off the plate.
"Hey that's for breakfast and secondly he filled that diaper. It was a factory error not the person who put in on." Jon stated.
"Right I forgot." Karen giggled winking at Jagger.
When breakfast was done they sat at the kitchen table and enjoyed a nice breakfast as a family.
"What are your plans for today?" Karen asked taking a drink of her orange juice.
"The pool guy is coming some time this morning. I know I need to clean the grill and then I was gonna clean some stuff in the gym." Jon said taking a bite of his toast.
"Love do you think you are doing to much? You really should be resting." Karen said.
"Baby I am fine. I am feeling good my arm is swore but it's heeling. This surgery wasn't as bad as the last time. It's been a few weeks and Doc says if I can handle it do it. Just use this arm a little." Jon said holding up his arm. Which was bandaged wrapped and in a black post op elbow brace.
"OK love." Karen said stealing a piece of his bacon.
"Hey woman! Back off." Jon said pretending to slap her hand.
"What? I'm still hungry." She grinned.
"You are lucky you're so sexy." He smiled leaning over to kiss her. Then taking his last two slices of bacon and shoving them in his mouth. "What are your plans for today?" He asked with a mouth full of bacon.
"I need to go to the grocery store. Then I was going to try and get Jagger some new shoes since he has almost out grown the ones he has." Karen said.
"Ooo shopping day." Jon said in a girly voice.
"Want to come along?" She smiled.
Jon groaned. "Not really."
"I figured as much. Want me to take little man with me?" Karen asked as she got a wipe and cleaned off Jagger's dirty face.
"Nah. I'll keep him for the day. We can have a manly day." Jon smiled at his son and flexed his good arm. Jagger giggled at his dad and copied what he did. "Say we are men!"
"ee men Momma." Jagger said his arm still flexed.
"That you are my little man." Karen smiled kissing his now clean face.
"Hey what about me?" Jon pouted.
"Aww you're a strong man too." Karen smiled kissing her husband.
Later that day Karen was out and about shopping in Henderson. She had gotten Jagger his new shoes. She couldn't help but buy him two pairs. A pair that had Wood and Buzz on them from Toy Story then a pair of grey and green Under Armour tennis shoes. Then she grabbed him a few shirts and a pair of pants. She also got Jon a new package of underwear and a few shirts for him. Sometimes it was just easier to get him those things with out him with her. He wasn't the best shopper out there. It was now mid to late after noon as she was in the grocery store. She did notice with Jon home they seemed to go through things a little more than when he's on the road. But she didn't mind if that meant he was home with them every night.
She was down the snack aisle getting Jagger his favorite yogurt bites. When her phone went off she smiled reaching into her purse.
"Must be Jon. Probably thinks I got lost or I am never coming home." She giggled to herself. But her smile soon faded when she noticed the word Utah underneath the unknown number. She felt sick to her stomach as she declined the call. She grabbed a few more things then headed right to the check out.
With Jon his after noon was spent watching the pool guy clean and get their pool winter ready. As Jagger ran around playing with his basketball and hoop. Jon of course played a little one on one with his son. Once the pool guy had left they went into the garage. Jon cleaned the gym area a little bit. While Jagger was driving around in his little tikes cozy cupe car. He couldn't help but smile at his energetic son. Now they were resting in the living room watching cartoons. Jagger playing on the floor while Jon was on the couch with his arm elevated on a pillow.
"I think Mommy's home little man. Don't tell her we were watching 'we bare bears'." Jon smiled hearing her car door shut. "Hey baby. Nice day shopping?" He asked as he went to give her a kiss but she moved her head and he caught her cheek.
"Yeah it was good. I got more groceries in the car." She said putting the shopping bags down on the bar and going out to get the rest.
"I can help." Jon said following her out to her car.
"Please be careful." Karen said handing Jon a few more bags.
Once all the stuff was in the house Karen started putting the food away.
"Yes pop tarts." Jon smiled reaching them.
"Not before dinner." She said. "I thought we could grill some steak and I got stuff to make a salad."
"Good deal." He smiled as he went to snoop in the other bags she had left on the bar. "Hey nice you got me the free flowing briefs. My wife knows what I like. Look Jagger you got some new shoes and a couple shirts too. Mommy loves her boys. Hey baby did you get a .." Jon began to ask. When he glanced at Karen who wasn't even listening to him. She looked lost in thought as she was putting the stuff away.
A little while later Jon came in from grilling the steak. Karen was standing at the kitchen counter finishing up the salad. Jon came up to her and wrapped his good arm around her and started kissing her neck. Jon could feel her jump and tense up at his touch.
"Karen baby what's wrong?" Jon asked concerned.
"I … I got a call today." She said focusing on putting the tomatoes in the salad.
"From who?" Jon asked trying to remain calm.
"I .. I'm not sure. But it was a Utah number."
"Why the FUCK are they trying to call you?" Jon growled.
"I .. I don't know. I don't even know how they got my number. I know we changed it right before Jagger was born."
"I know. I did for your safety and his. Do you really think it could be them trying to contact you or someone else?" Jon asked looking at his wife.
"Jon who else do I know in Utah?"
"Damn it. Son of a bitch." Jon said trying to keep his anger in check. "Baby listen to me. Know that no matter what you are safe with me in our home. They will never get to you or our son. Please trust me on that." Jon said placing his hand softly on his wife's cheek.
"I trust you Jon. I trust you with my life." Karen said.
Jon pulled his wife into a hug. He could feel how tense he was. But there was one thing he knew for certain. He was never going to let anything happen to his family. Come hell or high water Karen was never going back to the hell in which she came from.
