Flash Back – Utah 2010.

"Get up!" Ethan yelled coming into their bed room.

Karen moved around in bed and slowly sat up.

"Huh?" She said still tired.

"You didn't go to work today!" He stated. "It's 1 pm and I come home to find you in bed."

"I called and talked to Liam. He said I could take the day. I am just not feeling well." Karen said slowly getting out of bed.

"Do you enjoy making a fool out of me Karen?"

"It's not like that. I just have been getting sick off and on all day. I needed sleep." She said feeling nauseous. She ran to the bathroom getting sick. Ethan didn't seem concerned he stayed in the bed room area. Several minutes later after Karen stood up washed her face and rinsed her mouth out she came back into the bed room.

"How long have you been feeling sick?" He asked.

"On and off for several days but I haven't been able to keep anything down since yesterday." She answered.

"I think you are finally with child." Ethan said as a smile appeared across his face.

"I ... I don't think that's it." Karen said softly.

"Trust in the Lord. Trust and know your place" Ethan told her placing his hand on her face as she tensed up. "Get some rest I will be back tonight."

"It's Tuesday." She said softly.

"And?" Ethan questioned.

"You go to Victoria's tonight."

"Don't question my choices and who I choose to spend my time with. You are MY wife are you not?"

Karen sighed and just shook her head yes.

"Then I will be back tonight." He stated before leaving the room.

Later that evening Karen was making dinner as Ethan was coming over. She dreaded every third day in which her spiritual husband would come over to their house. It was a small three bedroom modest home on privately owned property.

"Smells good in here." Ethan said coming into the kitchen with flowers in hand.

"Thank you." She nodded.

"These are for you." He smiled handing them to her.

"Oh well Thank you." She said again taking the flowers.

"You're welcome." He said kissing her cheek. She stepped back and moved away from him getting a vase to fill with water to put the flowers in. "What did you make?"

"Potato soup and dumplings." She said. Ethan nodded as he picked up the cover to the pot and looked in it.

"Did you make a dessert?" He asked.

"Yes. Peach cobbler." She said.

"Hmm my favorite with ice cream. You sure are spoiling me today." He grinned.

When dinner was ready and Karen sat the table for two. They both sat down to eat. One thing Karen learned quickly after marring Ethan was they had nothing in common. He talked religion and obedience. Tonight was no different. When Ethan noticed Karen wasn't listening and not eating.

"You need to eat. Keep your strength up especially now." He stated.

"I still don't think I can keep anything down." She answered softly when she noticed the look in his eyes. "But I can try." She choked down another bite. The rest of the dinner she didn't say anything she just listened to Ethan ramble on and on. When she got up and served him his dessert he grabbed her hand. Pulling her closer to him his hand grazing her abdomen her body tensed up.

"I feel it Karen. You are with child." He told her. "Finally after all this time you are giving me the one thing I have asked you for since the day you became my wife."

Karen was still tense as he pulled her into a kiss all she wanted to do was scream. Once she cleaned up the kitchen from dinner she walked into the living room where Ethan stood.

"It's time." He stated handing her a brown paper bag.

"For what?" She blurted out not thinking about how it sounded.

"You do what I say when I say remember? This is how a marriage works. Now go into the bathroom." He said sternly handing her the brown bag and shoving her into the bathroom.

She went into the bathroom and opened the bag to see two pregnancy tests in the bag. She read the directions carefully as she took both tests washed her hands and came out.

"Well?" He asked.

Karen didn't say a word as she handed him the two test that were in her hand.

"You're worthless. You can't even conceive me a child." Ethan said smacking Karen across the face.

"I told you it was just the flu." She yelled back in tears.

"You will learn not to back talk me woman! You will learn your place here." He stated as he grabbed her by the hair. Dragging her to their bed room as he smacked her again and pushed her down on the bed.

Baltimore Maryland – 2019

"I can't watch this. This is insane." Karen said cringing watching her husband bleeding on the screen.

"The are kicking each other's ass for sure." Nick stated as he was eating some popcorn.

"Karen they are both very talented men they've got this." Cody reassured her.

The match was reaching the 20 minute mark. Since right before the bell sounded this match was none stop. The were fighting one another all over the arena. Omega tossed a few beers on Moxley along with a trash can. Once back in the ring Moxley got the upper hand with a barb wire bat. But then Omega countered with the barbwire boom as he raked the back of Jon Moxley. They both got in several more shots to the other. As Kenny then went under the ring and brought out the board covered with mouse traps.

"They are stealing the show. Damn boys!" Nick chuckled as Moxley tossed Omega on to the mouse traps.

Moxley then went under the ring and brought out a crate full of gold anchor chains. Moxley used them to his advantage as he went for the cover but Omega kicked out at one. He then grabbed the chain and put the it between Omega's mouth.

"Is that an ice pick?" Brandi asked.

Cody nodded as Omega then got in a few shots with the gold chain to Moxley.

"No! Oh god!" Karen gasped feeling sick to her stomach as she watched the screen.

After three snap dragon suplexes Omega had wrapped the chain around Moxley's next. He tossed him over the ring ropes his feet not touching the ground. Moxley gasping for air tugging at the chain around his neck.

"Stop this! Cody please stop this!" Karen said tears in her eyes.

"Karen please calm down." Cody said.

"Calm down are you fucking insane? My husband is bleeding and he's being hung up on that damn .. mmm." She said placing a hand on her belly breathing softly.

"Sweet heart sit down please. Here is some water." Brandi said helping her sit down and giving her a bottle of water.

"Karen. It will be alright. Kenny and Jon went over this match again and again all afternoon. They know what they are doing." Tony said coming over to her.

"I told him this was a bad idea. I know he loves these matches but this is to much. How could you let them take it this far?" Karen said breathing softly.

"You know your husband he was never gonna take no as an answer." Tony said.

"Kenny is the same way. They know the story they wanted to tell." Cody said.

"I know. I'm sorry. It's just really really hard to watch live." She said breathing softly.

"Karen are you alright?" Brandi asked.

"Yeah I just think I need a minute." She said slowly getting up and heading toward the bathroom.

"Go with her baby. Keep an eye on her." Cody stated. Brandi nodded and headed to the bathroom with Karen.

"Thank God Karen didn't see that." Tony stated just as Omega gave Moxley a spine buster on a pile of shards of glass.

"No kidding. I mean she's pregnant and hormonal this has to be hard for her to watch." Nick said.

As Omega had Moxley in the strap shooter. He began to crawl through the pile of glass so he could get to the ring rope.

Cody nodded. "I can only imagine what Brandi would be like if she were pregnant."

"She's still be out there slapping the shit out of people." Nick laughed. "If this match doesn't kill Kenny, Karen will."

"Karen are you sure you are OK? Want me to get the AEW Doctor?" Brandi asked coming into the bathroom.

"I'm alright." Karen said coming out of the stall and washing her hands. "I am sorry about that. I need to keep it in check. It's just really hard to watch that right now. I can't lose Jon he is the love of my life and to see him go through that for fun or not it's breaking my heart." Karen admitted.

"I know it's not easy to watch your husband go through hell. But it's the life they chose and the life we chose when we married them." Brandi said. "I know that doesn't make it any less scary."

"Being pregnant doesn't help either." Karen said.

"Ready to go back out there?" She asked.

"Yeah I will be right there." Karen said.

Brandi nodded as she headed back to the production area.

"Where is Karen? Is she alright?" Cody asked as he kissed Brandi's cheek.

"Yeah she just needed a minute. This is a lot to take in for her."

"I know. I guess I thought Mox would have prepared her more."

"He likes the element of surprise. Besides how often did you prepare me?"

"Good point." He chuckled.

As Adam Page and Young Bucks were called ramp side by Omega.

"BRING IT!" Omega yelled.

As Adam and The Bucks were trying to talk him out of whatever it was he wanted. Moxley laid on the entrance ramp.

"Hey there little one hang in there with me. Mommy is gonna try to calm down and I need you to do the same alright? We are in this together and we are gonna be brave for your Dad. He loves us so much we need to be strong. Can you do that little one?" Karen was breathing softly as she was talking to her belly.

Adam and Bucks brought out a spider web barbwire board to the entrance ramp. After a few attempts Moxley suplexed them both on to the board and into the exposed barbwire. Both men laid there entwined in the wire their bodies shaking. As officials, Adam and the Bucks tried to get them out.

Karen didn't have words as she walked toward production staring at the screen. Watching these men reach across the barbwire that was sticking to her husbands body. The fight wasn't over as both men got to their feet. Moxley tried a suplex but Omega countered. Then Omega super kicked Moxley through the Full Gear light.

Karen gasped as tears were now streaming down her face. She was trying to be strong but watching her husband go through this was anything but easy.

Moxley and Omega made their way back to the ring. Moxley gave a para dime shift to Omega who kicked out. Moxley then rolled out of the ring and started to undo the canvas on the ring to expose the boards underneath. He set to slam Omega on to the board but Omega countered as Moxley's back slammed down on to the exposed boards.

Adam didn't say anything as he just handed Karen a tissues as she was trying to hold it together There was a Young Buck on both sides of her for support.

Omega then gave Moxley a para dime shift on the board. He looked so pleased with himself as he re-positioned Moxley and went for the top rope. Omega went for the Phoenix Splash but Moxley moved out of the way.

Karen giggled through her tears.

"Oh was that a smile?" Nick asked.

"OK that was funny." She sniffled out a laugh. "I mean he had to know Jon was gonna move."

"He's lost a lot of blood. Kenny doesn't know what day it is at this point." Adam joked.

Moxley then gave Omega one final elevated Para dime shift for the three count.

"The winner of this match JONNNN MOXXXLLEYY!" Justin Roberts announced.

The Bucks then went ring side to check on Omega as Moxley's hand was raised in victory.

Finally after what seemed like a life time Jon slowly made his way back stage. He was greeted by Cody and Tony first. Then Brandi who whispered something to him as he slowly nodded. He looked up to see his pregnant wife in tears.

"Come here." Jon said reaching out his hands. She went over to him and softly hugged her sweaty husband. He winced in pain a bit.

"Don't cry baby I'm fine." He said kissing her cheek softly his hand rubbing her belly.

"Nothing about that match was fine. You're in pain and covered in glass pieces and blood. That is not fine." She said looking into his eyes. "I'm sorry I know you live for this crap. But I love you so much it's hard for me to watch you go through that. I just have to remember this is who I married. Now go get checked by medical."

"I love you too baby." He said as he took her hand walking towards medical.

"Ya know I kicked Omega's ass out there. He got the worst of it." Jon grinned.

"You are truly the Purveyor of violence and the baddest son of a bitch in the game."

"Damn right baby!" He said proudly.
