Kathy sat with her sister and nephew. "I can't believe we are this close," Carl said wide eyed. Kathy couldn't sit still, she saw Jonathan quickly. He gave her the tickets and told her he would send someone to get them. He had arranged a backstage tour for Carl. "The camera shoot for there," Carl pointed. "And the announcer will sit here."

"This is going to be a long night," Mary muttered, smiling at how happy her son was.

"Did he sleep at all last night," Kathy ask.

"About as much as you did," Mary laughed.

"I just dropped him off, you know dad," Kathy shook her head.

"I am surprised he didn't go with you," Mary joked "does he leave right after this?"

"Yeah," Kathy nodded, "he is driving. I fly home tomorrow. He will be home day after." Kathy noticed a young man in a black t shirt and black jeans walking toward them.

"Kathy," he asked.

"Yes," she smiled.

"You guys can follow me," he waved them out. Kathy, her sister and nephew made their way to the end of the aisle.

"My Aunt is dating Dean Ambrose," Carl announced. The young man just smiled.

….

Kathy stood with her sister as Carl pointing naming each person as they past. Kathy hadn't seen Jonathan yet, she was nervous and feeling out of place. They seemed to be the only people fully clothed. "Hey," Jonathan came into sight. He was in a tank top and blue jean, he hair was wet. "Sorry, I got caught up," he hugged Kathy. "Carl my man," he high fived Carl. "You ready for me to show you around?"

"Yeah," Carl said wide eyed.

"Where is Piper," Jonathan asked noticing she wasn't there.

"She has school, she thanked you for the invite," Kathy answered, "and she was glad to meet you."

Jonathan led them around, Carl stopped taking pictures with many of the people. "Joe," Jonathan called. He waved over a very tall very big man. "This is Kathy, and her sister Mary and her nephew Carl."

"Nice to meet you," Joe smiled shaking hands.

"Who is that," Mary leaned into Kathy.

"A very good very married friend of Jonathan," Kathy answered.

"I need to start watching this with Carl," Mary chuckled.

"So nice to meet," Joe shook Kathy's hand. "Heard a lot about you. Jonathan was pretty excited you were coming." Jonathan looked down. "I have to get ready, I hope to see you again," Joe said his goodbyes.

"You ok," Jonathan asked. Kathy gave a smile and nod. She was trying not to notice the numerous woman wearing not much more than underwear. Young fit woman, woman who were closer to Jonathan's age. It is hard not to feel a little insecure.

"Will I see you before you leave," Kathy asked. This felt so different, different from being at home with him, different from being at her families. This was rushed and crazy.

"Of course," Jonathan answered. "You sure you are ok?" Jonathan had wished there was a better way to introduce her this side of his life.

"Yeah," Kathy laughed. She didn't want to let on she wasn't. She didn't want to tell him she felt everyone was looking at them. Wondering who she was and why she was with him. He seemed so happy she was there. He had gone out of his way to make it a big deal for Carl. Jonathan tucked her hair behind her ear giving her a quick kiss. "Thanks for doing all this for Carl."

"To be honest I really wanted to show you off," Jonathan teased.

"Hey man they are looking for you," a man with a headset grabbed Jonathan.

"Sorry," Jonathan face Kathy a quick kiss, "I gotta go. I will see you tonight." Kathy didn't know what to do.

"Maybe we should just go to your seats." Mary said, seeing her sisters uncomfortableness. She had seen it before. The years she use to take Piper to Rachel's shows. Kathy would wait half the night so Piper could see her father for some time. Time he normally spent talking to everyone else. The difference was Mary could tell Jonathan was happy to see her, and hated leaving.

"Are you Kathy," a young dark haired girl with an English accent asked.

"Yes," Kathy answered.

"Oh, Dean has mentioned you," she beamed, "I am Paige." Kathy had to remember that Dean was Jonathan.

"Nice to meet you," Kathy smiled trying not to look her up and down.

" Alicia," Paiged called, "this is Kathy." Kathy didn't want a crowd she wasn't ready to meet these people on her own. Alicia walked over.

"Oh hi," she waved.

"Oh, Dean said you had a kid," Paige looked down at Carl.

"No, he is my nephew, my daughter couldn't make it. She has school." Kathy looked at her sister raising her eyebrows. The girls were young, probably close to Piper's age. Although they bopped around and sounded like teenagers.

"What grade is she in," Alicia asked.

"She is in college," Kathy answered.

"College," Paige said loud enough to turn people close by heads. "She must be my age," both girls laughed. Kathy wasn't even sure they realized how rude they were being. "So you are."

"I am forty," Kathy rolled her eyes. She knew it came out harsh, part of her wanted to turn around and scream her age. Mary grabbed her arm, and Carl's.

"Nice meeting you," Mary started pulling both away.

"Oh yeah," the two girls seemed shocked they felt.

"She is not my favorite Aunt Kathy," Carl said so only she could hear. Kathy just patted his head.

…

Kathy sat quiet for the show, she tried to cheer up for Carl. Her sister rubbed her back it was too loud to talk. Jonathan came out and Kathy forced a smile. He loved what he did. He was good at it. Dean Ambrose was different from Jonathan. Kathy wondered where Dean came from. He hadn't really talked much about his family. It was hitting Kathy she didn't know much about him. Something about being here, being in his world was eye opening. She hadn't made a big deal about their age difference. But here it mattered. She was older than all his friends, he had friend who were close to her daughter's age. She had nothing in common with them. She felt like she had been fooling herself and this night was a smack of reality. "Did he tell you were to meet him," Mary asked. People around started to file out.

"Yeah he said go around back," Kathy checked her messages again.

"Well why don't I take Carl to the car you go say goodbye. Please tell him thank you." Mary felt they might need a minute alone.

Kathy stood arms crossed, Jonathan walked out with Joe, both pulling and carrying bags. "Hey we're is my new best friend," Jonathan joked.

"Mary took him to the car, he is about spent," Kathy gave a wake smile. "Thank you, for all of this."

"Of course," Jonathan could tell something was wrong. She was tense not at all herself,"I am sorry Piper couldn't make it. Next time."

"Yeah, next time."

"What wrong, and don't say nothing," Jonathan knew he had to leave but he couldn't leave her like this. Kathy looked around at the people walking by. "Come on," Jonathan took her by the arm. They walked toward the parking lot. "Joe pull around."

"Jonathan you have to go," Kathy didn't want to do this now, she didn't know where to start.

"I am not leaving till you talk to me," Jonathan spin her toward him.

"I just wasn't ready and I think maybe," Kathy stopped the look of fear and pain that came over Jonathan's face was too much.

"I love you," Jonathan took her face, "I am sorry I couldn't spend more time with you. I should have planned it better." A car horn blurred, "damn it." Jonathan kissed her, "I will call you, call me when you get home, please." Kathy looked down," promise me." She shook her head knowing that was the only thing that would make him let go. He walked backward to the car, "tonight," he yelled before getting in the car. Kathy watched him drive away, Jonathan never taking his eyes off her. Kathy turned walking to her car. She wiped her eyes, so many feeling we're running through her. She wasn't sure if she could even put them to words.

"You alright," Mary asked starting the car, she knew the answer.

"Yeah," Kathy glanced in the back seeing a sleeping Carl. "God Mary what am I doing?"

"Something for yourself," Mary started driving, "for once."
