November 2019
"More Daddy." Jagger said reaching out from his booster chair.
"You want more?" Jon smiled at his 2 year old son.
"Yep." He giggled as Jon put more fruit on his sons plate.
As Jagger giggled and finished eating his lunch when Jon sat down to eat his lunch as well.
"Hey little man want to come to the gym with me today?" Jon asked mouth half full of a sandwich.
"Yeah we ight." Jagger giggled putting up his little fists.
"Down boy. Just gonna get in a work out." Jon laughed.
"Hey my boys." Karen said as she walked into the kitchen.
"Mommy!" Jagger smiled all excited seeing his mom.
"HI Mr. Man." Karen said kissing the top of his curly head.
"Good afternoon baby." Jon smiled kissing her. "Did you have a good nap?"
"I did. I didn't realize I was that tired. I can't believe it's after 2 pm already." Karen said getting some juice from the refrigerator.
"You were up most of the night getting sick. It's no wonder you are exhausted." Jon stated as he put his plate in the sink. Walking over to his wife and wrapping his arms around her placing his hand on her small little bump. "You feeling any better? No cramping or bleeding right?"
"I am feeling better. I think baby doesn't really like spaghetti it didn't sit well last night. That's all." She told him as she wrapped her arms around his larger build frame.
"You sure that's it?" Jon asked.
"Yes I am sure. So Mox what is the plan for today?" She smiled.
"Just gonna head to the gym to get in a work out. Then we are having a relaxed day at home." Jon stated kissing the top of her head.
"Mmmm I like that idea." She smiled laying her head on his chest.
Jon held her close to him rubbing her back. He could tell she still didn't feel the best and didn't want her to go to the gym with him. He stood there and thought about it a moment.
"Change of plans." He stated.
"What would that be?" She asked looking up at him.
"How about I just work out here and you go rest? Jag man and I will be in the garage. I mean we do have a nice gym right here at home." He said with a grin.
"Jon are you sure? I mean you have a huge match coming up Saturday?" Karen asked.
"Yeah it's all good baby. Besides we are leaving in a few days for the east coast so we'll be on the road for over a week. A nice quiet day at home is what we need." He told.
"Sounds perfect." She said leaning up to kiss him.
That is just what they did. They spent a quiet afternoon at home. Jon and Jagger were in the garage gym as Karen was resting on the couch watching TV and looking up baby things on the internet.
"Daddy I did it." Jagger giggled as he make a basket into his little basketball hoop.
"Hell yeah you did little man." Jon smiled watching his son play basketball while he was cleaning up the gym. He had the garage door open for some fresh fall air when he notice a large black SUV pull up.
"What the fuck?" He said to himself as he scoop up Jagger and headed inside.
Inside Karen slowly got up off the couch feeling a little nausea come over her she took a few deep breathes until it pasted. Then went into the kitchen to check on the home made Vegetable beef soup she was making in the slow cooker. When she heard the door she went to answer it. She stood there stunned and a bit light headed looking at the person on the other side.
"Karen baby don't …." Jon said as he came rushing to the front door.
"Hello daughter."
"Father." Karen said still over whelmed.
Jon growled looking at the tall slender man in the suit standing in his door way.
"Jon this is my father."
Jon didn't say anything just glared at the man.
"Father what are you doing here?" She asked.
"Is that any way to great me? I thought I raised you better than that." He stated.
"Sorry Father." Karen stated as she hugged him which was awkward.
Jon moved closer to his wife.
"Please come in." Karen said.
"Just you." Jon stated. "The two stooges stay outside."
Gideon gave a nod to Walker and the other young man Karen didn't recognize. They walked back to the SUV as Karen shut the door. She noticed her father looking around her house.
"Is this your son?" He asked looking at the family photo of Jon, Karen and Jagger.
"Yes. That's far enough." Karen said as he took a few steps closer. "Just tell me what you want?"
"I came to talk to my daughter. You've strayed away from your true family. I am here to take you home." He stated.
"Screw you! She's not going back to that cult! You sick fuck!" Jon growled.
"This? Karen this is the man you've chosen to live in sin with?" Gideon stated.
"I love him Father. He is my husband we are legally married. He is my family. I am sorry you can't see why I had to leave. But I am not going back to that life. I wont let my children live that hell." Karen stated.
"You're pregnant." Gideon stated at he looked at Karen and shook his head.
"That's none of your damn business." Jon stated as he was now right next to his wife.
"Listen I love my husband and the life we have. Jon has shown me what it means to be truly loved. We are a family. So you go back and tell Ethan that he can kiss my ass because I never loved him he treated me like crap and you stood by and did nothing. Telling me that I deserved it the first time he hit me because I wasn't being an obedient wife. Screw you and him. I am not going back to the hell. So if that is all you came here for then I kindly ask you to leave."
"Karen you are making a huge mistake." Gideon said as he went towards the door as he looked back at his daughter standing there next to Jon. "Some day you will change your mind and it may be to late."
"I will never change my mind. So I am asking you to just leave me alone. Please tell Ethan to leave me alone and let me live my life." Karen said.
Gideon didn't say anything as he headed for the door. He stopped and looked back at his daughter and the tall built athletic man standing next to her.
"There is still one thing I can't seem to figure something out?" He questioned.
"What?" Karen said.
"You never were with child when with Ethan."
"What the fuck does that even matter?" Jon growled all his patients lost at this point.
"Just find it interesting. It is interesting isn't it Karen." He stated.
"Get the hell out of my house and don't ever come back." Jon said escorting his father in law out the door then slamming and locking the door.
Karen stood there staring out the window as she watched her father getting into the SUV.
Over the next several days Jon met with a couple lawyers and law enforcement officials to get a restraining and protection order against Ethan and Gideon. If those two came to the house or may contact with Karen again they would be arrested.
Saturday November 9th – Baltimore Maryland.
"Where is little man?" Brandi asked coming over to Karen as she was standing back stage.
"He is with Jon's sister. Traveling was starting to get to him so we spent a day or so there before we flew here." Karen smiled.
"Not to mention giving you and Jon some alone time." Brandi winked.
"Yes we've really needed that too. His schedule has been more busy now than ever."
"Always make time for the important things in life. That is what Cody and I do. We are in need of a vacation for sure." Brandi smiled.
"I hope you both make time for that. You deserve it."
"Already have." She smiled. "The week we have off for Christmas Cody and I are going to France."
"That is awesome."
"It will be amazing I am so excited. Oh did you get to see the final promo package for the match tonight?" Brandi asked.
"No I didn't." Karen told her.
"Didn't what?" Jon said as he came over to them after going over his match with Kenny.
"We were just getting ready to watch the video package for the match tonight." Brandi said.
"Sweet pull that shit up." Kenny said.
Karen glanced over at Kenny. Jon didn't tell her much more about the match that would be taking place but she was so nervous she felt ill just thinking about this upcoming match her husband would be in. As she held Jon's hand and focused on the screen that started off with a voice narrator talking about Jon's debut and the attention that followed him going into the All Out Pay per view. Then talked about his returning aliment that had returned.
"I tore my tricep in 2017 and continued wrestling with a giant inflated arm for about 2 months. Every single night I was getting it drained ex amount of cc's of fluid out of my elbow every single night just so I could bend it. And just get to the ring and it took its toll. I never took a break, I never let up. And I picked up a staph infection and it became MRSA. M R S A."
Karen's grip on Jon's hand tightened hearing his words in her mind reliving that terrible heart breaking time in their life. Tears formed in her eyes as she listened to the AEW doctor explain what MRSA is and how serious Jon's case was.
"I had so much momentum ever since Double or Nothing. It was just one good thing after another , after another. I was on top of the world. Then all of this came crashing down. Real real fast and that's how this business is. It's like something from two years ago coming back to still bite me in the ass. I couldn't make any sense of it. It just .. it just sucked." Jon explained as he was leaning up against the wall at the gym he works out it. Then music began to play as they did a few shots of him sitting in the grass with Jagger toddling around him as he hugged his Dad. Then they did a little interview with Gil Jon's trainer in Vegas. As they did many different shots and angles of his work out routine and some of his MMA style training with Gil.
Jon noticed the tears in his wife's eyes.
"Baby you alright?"
"Yeah Love." She said.
"You sure you're feeling alright?" He asked.
"I am just so proud of you. I know I don't say that often but you've busted your ass not only for the wrestling world but for our family. I love you." She told him.
"I love you too." Jon said as he kissed his wife softly.
As they continued to watch they went into detail about Kenny's career and aspects of wrestling. Then the footage Jon shot a month or so ago in Philadelphia was used as Jon talked about his old stomping ground and how that made him the person and wrestler he is today.
"Even thou I am nothing like you Jon. I am willing to go to that place. I am gonna go to that dark place." Kenny said sitting down during an interview.
"It's a bad idea because I don't think Kenny Omega has that place inside of him. He's trying to get there. He's trying real hard to get there. And I hope he does." Jon stated as he paced the outside of the building in Philly.
"Don't pretend that you are upset about this being a hard core match. What else were you gonna do? Were you gonna chain wrestler with me Jon huh? Give me suplexes? That wasn't gonna happen. Deep down inside I know that you are happy. I know that you are satisfied." Kenny said.
"I am at my best when I am at my worst. I'm not trying to find an opponent that is gonna bring the best out of me. I am trying to find an opponent who is gonna bring the worst out of me." Jon stated.
"I am glad we are going to that dark place Jon. I can't wait to see you there."
