End of May 2016.

"I really wish you could come this weekend." Roman said pulling his girlfriend close to him.

"I know. Me too. Charla said the same thing. But I can't sorry. I have to get all my end of the year stuff done and I don't want to have to get a sub. Besides I was just in Chicago for Payback and I got a sub then." Karen explained laying her head on his shoulder.

"Well that doesn't mean I wont miss you." He said kissing her.

As she started to play with his hair.

"How is it that you have better hair than I do?" She giggled a few inches from his lips.

"It's all in how you condition it baby." He smiled kissing her again.

"Oh I know my bathroom looks like another woman lives here." She joked as Roman shook his head and started tickling her making her laugh.

"Rome that that tickles." She giggled.

"It does really?" He laughed as he continued pulling her close and kissing her. As they started to make out on the couch. When things started to get more heated Roman's hands went under her shirt as his hand grazed over her soft skin and up back to her bra.

"Roman." She said softly pulling away frustration on the large mans face as he laid his head back letting out a low growl.

"I'm sorry." She said feeling horrible. "I'm just not ready. I do care about you. I just please understand."

"I do baby girl I do. It's just they are getting a little blue if you get what I mean." He said trying to make a joke.

"Sorry. I just I don't know what's wrong with me. I mean hello you are hot as hell and you are my boyfriend. But I just can't seem to let you in. That's on me not you. You have been so patient and kind. I just I know I need to let my guard down and I will OK?" She told him.

"I know baby girl. I know. I shouldn't pressure you. We'll get there in time. I just need to not get so worked up." He said looking down at his pants with a smirk.

She leaned in and kissed him softly.

That night Karen laid there staring at the large sexy man in her bed. "What is my problem? Why can't I just let him in? Why can't I just let myself be wild and crazy with him. I want him! He could be the one I give myself too. Why can't I just let it happen." She said to herself. Then a little voice in her head said "Because the second you do the other shoe will drop. You're not good enough for him." There was a part of Karen that thought that little voice in her head was right.

A day or so later Roman headed off to New Jersey for Extreme Rules. Where Dean Ambrose was in the first ever Asylum Match and Roman Reigns defeated AJ Styles for the Championship with the return of Seth Fricken Rollins who attacked Roman at the end of the match.

Karen watched the whole show on her couch eating popcorn. When her phone went off with "Here comes the Money." She couldn't help but laugh. Dean and Shane had called her at least once a week since Mania. Dean basically to vent his frustrations about creative and talk about life not to mention get in a good virgin joke here and there. Where Shane on the other hand talked about WWE a little bit but was more into talking about life, the boys and just getting to know one another.

"You know I thought you'd here Brown eyes." Shane said as Karen answered.

"Hey Shane O'Mac." She shot back. "I have to work tomorrow besides whose bone head idea was it to have two pay per views in one month? A girl can't be taking to much time off at the end of the year." She laughed.

"Yeah that would have been Vince's idea." Shane chuckled.

"Well like I said bone head move." She joked all comfy on the couch. "Don't you dare tell him I said that. I mean I guess you could he doesn't even know who I am."

Shane laughed. He loved how carefree and sweet the brown haired beauty was. He needed to tell himself to keep his emotions in check as he knew she was currently with Roman.

They talked a little bit more before Karen let him go to talk to Roman about his win at Extreme Rules and Seth's return.

June 2016 - Las Vegas.

Karen was finally on summer vacation she was so excited for this summer and to see what it was going to bring.

Money in The Bank was in Vegas and Dean wanted to show off his recently purchased new house. So Roman, Karen, Seth and Charla were all hanging at Dean's. Charla raided the bar and fridge. With drink in hand she was looking at his small movie collection. Karen was looking around the house and looking out the window towards the pool. She kept looking over at Roman who was chilling on the couch. She knew something was bothering him and had been for the last couple of weeks but she didn't know what it was. She had a feeling it was her.

"Dude why you not talking?" Charla ask Roman plopping down on the couch next to him.

"Roman you have to tell her because you sulking and being silent Bull shit isn't cutting it." Seth said putting his arm around Charla.

"You have a really nice house Dean." Karen said to him as he came over and handed her a drink.

"Thanks darling." Dean said glancing over at Roman on the couch.

"I agree." Charla said with a smiled.

Seth laughed and kissed his girlfriend. "Do you even know what we are talking about?"

"No." She giggled.

"I didn't think so. That is one of the reasons I love you." Seth smiled kissing her again.

As Roman glanced over at Karen and Dean talking. When Dean patted Karen's back and walked over to Roman.

"Uce you gotta tell her." Dean said taking a drink of his beer.

Roman didn't say anything he took a drink from the cup in his hand and got up.

"Can we talk baby girl?" He asked Karen taking her hand. She just nodded yes as he lead her outside to the patio near the pool.

They stared at the pool for a few minutes neither one saying anything until Karen broke the silence.

"Roman what is going on? Are you mad at me because we haven't ..." She asked softly.

"Oh no! No! Baby girl not at all. I mean I want to yes but no I am not mad about that at all." Roman said to her holding her hand and kissing it.

" You sure? I would totally understand if you were." Karen said looking down as her hand was in his.

"Yes this has nothing to do with you baby. Damn it. This isn't easy to say … but well my Ex Tayla she's ummmm." Roman hesitated.

"She's what? She wants you back? She owes you money what?" Karen asked looking up at him.

"She's pregnant." Roman finally said.

Karen took a deep breathe and let go of Roman's hand still looking at him.

"How long have you known about this?" Karen asked.

"A few weeks." Roman said looking down at the ground.

"A few weeks? Really? You didn't think to tell me? I mean how far along is she?" Karen asked still not believing this.

"She's about 5 months." Roman said.

Karen nodded. "I just I don't know how to compete with this."

"I don't want to lose you. Karen please forgive me." Roman said reaching for her hand as she stepped away.

"Roman it's not like you cheated on me. I mean this happened before we got together. But I have to ask do you want her back?" She asked trying to hold herself together feeling stupid and her heart breaking all at the same time.

"No I don't want her. Karen baby girl I want you." He said moving closer to her as she stepped away.

"I guess the better question is do you want to be Dad?"

He didn't say anything as he looked down.

"Roman answer me damn it!" She cried out her voice breaking.

"Yes! Alright yeah I want the chance to be a dad and to be there for my kid." He admitted.

"I know." She sniffled feeling her whole life crash. "I'm sorry Roman I can't do this." She said trying to run past and he stopped her.

"Please baby girl don't leave." He said.

"I am sorry Roman. I just I can't compete with that. I can't compete with your kid." She said feeling him try to pull her into a hug as she pulled away and pushed him a little getting past him and going into the house trying to hold it together. This was the shoe that dropped.

She was looking for her purse and her phone.

"Karen baby? You don't have to leave." Dean said going up to her.

"I do Dean. I just I can't be here right now. Thanks for everything you really do have a nice house." She said as Dean hugged her.

Dean nodded for the first time he was speechless he really liked Karen and felt bad for her but he didn't want to say anything that would upset her more.

"Here sweetie. Seth and I will take you back to the hotel." Charla said.

"Thanks but you don't have to leave. You can stay I can get a cab or something." Karen said trying not to cry.

"None sense you are my friend and we will take you back to the hotel." Charla said hugging her friend.

Later that night. Karen laid in bed feeling so stupid for letting her guard down. For starting to fall for Roman. All her insecurities were coming out. She felt embarrassed as worthless. No Roman didn't cheat on her but it felt that way. His ex being pregnant was a game changer for her. She didn't know if she could make that work. She knew deep down Roman wanted this he told her that. He wanted to be a dad and she knew he would be the best dad in the world. Being there for it all and she just didn't know if her insecurities could be apart of all that. Roman kept texting and trying to call her most of the night but she ignored his calls and texts messages. As she laid there in her empty hotel room in Las Vegas crying until she finally fell asleep.

She slept in most of the morning not wanting to see or talk to anyone. She told Charla she was fine but her friend new better but was giving her space. Karen then decided she was just going to head home to Michigan. She didn't want to deal with Roman or the Money in The Bank Pay per view. She just wanted to go home.

Later that afternoon she finally got up and got in the shower and was in a comfy shirt and shorts packing her stuff when there was a knock on the door.

"Open up doll face!" She heard the husky voice say.

"Are you alone?" She asked walking to the door and peering through the eye whole seeing Dean Ambrose standing there.

"Yes I am alone." He said. "Please open up." He said knocking again.

She took a deep breathe and opened the door.

"Hey." She said.

As Dean's heart broke for his friend seeing her blood shot eyes.

"Hey." He said hugging her. "So a little Red Headed bird told me that you weren't coming to the show tonight." Dean said sitting down on the bed making himself comfortable.

"Dean I'm sorry. I just can't. I can't face Roman right now. I feel so stupid." Karen admitted.

"Look for the record I told him he should have told you last week. Him telling you at my house was not the best Uce move." Dean said. "But listen I know Roman and he is crazy about you."

"I like him too. But I can't compete with a pregnant ex girlfriend. Roman is gonna wanna be there for all those moments and I just don't think my heart can handle watching him go through that with someone else." Karen told her friend.

As Dean laid back on his elbows tapping his fingers on the bed.

"Yeah I guess I can understand that." He said. "But come one please come to the show tonight for me? We're friends Karen. You are my unicorn."

Karen couldn't help but giggle at her friend.

"I still can't believe you know." She said shaking her head.

"You'd be surprise what I know up here." Dean grinned tapping his head. "So what do you say please come to the show. You wont even have to talk to him. You can hang with me and Charla. Pleasseeee?" He begged sticking out his bottom lip.

"Fine! I'll go." She said how could she say no to that face.

"Then Raw tomorrow?" He asked.

"Don't press your luck. Money in the Bank tonight and then probably the airport." She said.

Later that Night:

Karen did her best to avoid Roman. She just didn't know what else to say to him right now. She knew she would have to talk to him and express her feelings but right now she just didn't have the courage to do so. So she hung out with Charla , Dean and Seth.

During the MITB ladder match she watched the monitors with Charla and Seth.

"Come on Dean. He's gotta win!" Karen said cheering him on.

"No! No he doesn't." Seth joked as Charla hit his arm.

"It's Ambrose's time. You've had your Money in the Bank moment time he got his." Charla told him.

"I agree. It's Ambrose's time. Hell the dude has earned it." Karen said watching on. "Come on you're so close!" Karen said as they watched Dean climb the ladder and grabbed the case. "HELL YES! That is what I am talking about." Karen smiled feeling so excited and happy for her friend.

"Hell yes! Dean is gonna cash in on you tonight puppy." Charla said kissing Seth softly.

"Wait why would you say that?" Seth said into another kiss.

"Because I know things." Charla smiled.

"Karen baby girl can I talk to you?" Roman asked coming up to her.

All the joy she felt about Dean's win slowly faded when she saw the large Samoan man standing in front of her in his ring gear.

"Roman I'm sorry. I wish I knew what to say to you right now. But I just don't have words." She said slowly walking away feeling the tears swell up in her eyes again.

"Karen please." Roman said grabbing her hand.

"Roman." She said softly.

"Karen please talk to me." He said softly.

"Roman you made your choice last night. You want to be a Dad. I can't give you that right now. I don't fault you for that in fact I respect you. You are the guy I knew you were. Making the right choice for you being a responsible man. What hurts me the most is that I thought you were the one I finally give myself too. Go be the best Dad I know you can be." She sniffled leaning up and kissing his lips softly as she walked away tears streaming down her face.

"Damn it." Roman growled. "Do I go after her?"

"No not this time friend." Charla said. "She has a broken heart and she needs time."

"Can't I have both my kid and her? She is something special I can't lose her." Roman said.

"Dude you maybe a Samoan God but I don't think you can have it all this time." Seth told his friend.

As Karen was heading to the bathroom to wash her face Shane came around the corner and noticed her in tears.

"What's wrong brown eyes?" He asked grabbing her arm gently.

"Long story." She sniffled. "Doesn't matter."

"Karen you're in tears. That does matter. I am here if you want to talk." He said looking around and then taking her over and sitting on one of the crates back stage.

"I guess I am still trying to process it all. I mean I was a fool to think it would work out with me and Roman." Karen admitted surprising herself she was opening up to the silver fox.

"Did he hurt you?" Shane growled clinching his fist a bit.

"No. Not like that at all Shane. It's just a mess and just I am not ready to talk about it." She said. "I think I am just gonna get a cab and go to the airport."

"What and not see the end of the show? I think it's one you are gonna like." Shane smiled at her.

"Hey besides my good luck unicorn can't leave with out congratulating me." Dean smiled coming up to Karen holding the Money in the bank brief case.

"Dean I am so happy for you. That was a hell of a match and you deserve it." Karen smiled wiping her tears and hugging him.

"Yeah Ambrose that was great! I told my dad you were the best choice to win this year. This is your time enjoy it." Shane told him.

"Hell yeah I am gonna enjoy it. But Karen tell me you aren't leaving you have to come to Raw with me Unicorn." Dean smirked.

"OK sorry but I have to ask. Why do you call her Unicorn?" Shane asked very curious.

With out even thinking because he was still riding high from his ladder match win.

"She's a virgin."

"AMBROSE!" Shane said.

"Well you asked." Dean reasoned as Karen smacked his arm. Her face three shades of Red.

"You know you were my favorite Ambrose but right now I am thinking Seth might just be now." She said feeling even more embarrassed and unsure of everything in this moment.

"Oh that hurts." Dean chuckled. "Sorry but he did ask why I call you that. Besides you are one in a million and very rare so that is why I call you that."

"See Ambrose that would have been the better answer." Shane smiled.

Shane asked Karen to watch the main event match with him. She smiled and agreed still feeling a little weird around him knowing he now knew her so called little secrete. But it didn't bother Shane at all if anything he respected her even more knowing that she was this sweet & innocent woman. One that he felt like he could be falling for.

The main event started Karen and Shane were watching on one of the monitors near the gorilla position. Her eyes were locked on the screen as she didn't even notice as some point during the match Shane's arm slowly went around her back on waist.

"Seth did it! He got the title back." Karen smiled looking at Shane.

"There is that beautiful smile." Shane said to her. As they heard Charla screaming with excitement.

"I think Charla is a little excited." Karen giggled knowing her friend was so happy for Seth as was she in this moment.

"Wait for it." Shane whispered in her ear.

She looked back at the screen when all of a sudden Ambrose's music began to play.

"Is he gonna cash in?" Karen asked with excitement.

Shane just smiled and didn't say anything as he pointed to the monitors.

Dean Ambrose cashed in his MITB contract and then beat Seth Rollins.

"AND YOUR NEW WWE CHAMPION DEAN AMBROSE!"

"He did it! Oh my goss Dean won and he's the new champion." Karen smiled so excited knowing how much Dean wanted and deserved this. She hugged Shane. "This is awesome."

"Yeah it is." Shane smiled hugging Karen.

Once Dean got back stage and gave a little interview he was greeted by many of the super stars as they congratulated him. When the crowd around him died down a bit Karen hugged her friend and told him how much she was proud of him and deserved it. After much convincing from both Dean and Shane she agreed to go to Monday Night Raw. Shane offered her a ride and she gladly excepted knowing Seth and Charla wanted some alone time and Dean would probably head home with a random girl then head out in the morning with Roman. Shane was the better option. Shane and Karen had just left the arena when Roman came up to finally congratulate his friend.

"Hell of a match bro. Can't believe you beat me." Roman chuckled looking around.

"Yeah well it was bound to happen. I told you and Rollins I was walking out of here champion and the champ don't lie." Dean smiled tapping the shiny title in his hand as he looked at his friend knowing who he was looking for.

"She's gone Uce." Dean stated.

"Gone to the airport?" Roman asked the wheels turning his head.

"No man. She'll be at Raw tomorrow. She left with Shane." Dean said getting up and grabbing his bag.

"What you let her leave with Shane McMahon?" Roman said this sense of jealousy over coming him. "She's my girlfriend bro what the hell?"

Roman couldn't believe this. He was falling for Karen but could he make her see that? He didn't want to lose her.
