July 2017

Karen's phone was ringing on the counter. It was a little after 11 am she has just gotten back from dropping the boys off at their day camps and stopping at the store. They were spending a few weeks at the beach house in the Hamptons. She was putting away a few of the groceries when she heard her phone. She looked at the number as it was unknown.

"Hello?" She asked still putting a way a few items.

"Is this Karen McMahon wife of Shane McMahon?" The man on the other end stated.

"Yes?" Karen said her heart starting to race.

"My name is Rodger White from the US Coast Guard. I am calling in regard to your Husband Shane McMahon. His Helicopter was on route to West Hampton and it had to make and emergency water landing of the coast of Gilgo Beach." Rodger explained.

Karen's heart stopped she was shaking as her eyes swelled up with tears. Shane had to go back to the City for business but was schedule to come back today.

"Oh God! Is ... is he OK?" She said her voice cracked.

"Ma'am your husband is fine. He and his pilot are here at the Coast Guard station on Fire Island." He stated. "They are just finishing up making an official statement."

Karen took a few deep breathes and praised God that her husband was safe.

"Oh Thank God!" Karen said still in tears. "Can … Can I talk to him please?"

"Of course Ma'am he's right here." He said as Karen heard shuffling of the phone.

"Brown eyes." Shane said on the phone.

"Oh Shane." She cried feeling relieved to hear his voice. "Are you OK what happened?" She said.

"Aww Sweet heart don't cry. I am fine. Mario the pilot was great we landed safely." Shane explained to his new wife in a calm voice.

"Well next time have the man lead with that!" She stated "You are sure you are alright? Oh Shane I just ..." She said trying to calm herself.

"I didn't mean to scare you and I know sweet heart but I am fine. I wanted to call and tell you that I am fine and that I love you before you saw it on the news. I do love you so much and I will see you in a few hours."

"Shane Thank God you are alright and please just be safe and I love you so much." Karen said.

When their called ended Karen turned on the news and there it was a Helicopter made an emergency landing in the water and the two on board had been pulled to safety. Karen couldn't believe what she was seeing that was her husband on that helicopter. She again took a minutes to try and calm down and thanked the Lord above that Shane was safe and sound.

"The news crews outside would like a brief statement from the two of you." Rodger stated to Shane and Mario the pilot.

"Yeah I guess we can do that. Again Thank you for calling my wife. I didn't want her to freak out seeing the news." Shane said. "She would have killed me if I didn't make it." Shane joked.

Then Shane and Mario headed out to do the brief press conference. Karen sat on the couch and watched her husband stand there calm and composed. He stated what happened and thanking everyone for their quick response and for bringing them in safely. They asked them several questions. Shane explained that he charactered the flight today from Manhattan to West Hampton to see his family.

That afternoon Karen field phone calls from friends and family who had heard about the landing. She just kept thanking God that Shane was still here and he was safe.

A few hours later.

"Karen sweet heart?" Shane called to her as he came into the house. With in seconds Karen's arms were wrapped around her husband as tears of joy flooded her eyes and she gave him a deep passionate kiss. Shane growled with delight kissing his wife.

"Shane you scared the shit out me." She stated staring into his eyes his strong arms wrapped around her.

"I am sorry believe me not how I thought this day would go. But I am here right where I need to be with my beautiful wife." He stated kissing her again.

"Are you sure you are OK? Did you go to the hospital and get checked out?" Karen asked.

"Baby I am fine." He said.

"You sure? The hospital said you were fine?" She asked.

"Um I didn't go to the hospital." He joked.

"SHANE BRANDON MCMAHON!" She said hitting his arm.

"OWE!" He chuckled.

"You better be kidding." She said.

Shane smiled at her. "Yes I am kidding I was checked out by the Coast Guard doctors. I am fine."

"You better be Shane. You scared me. I can't lose you not now not ever!" She said her voice cracking almost in tears.

"Listen brown eyes. I am fine and I am not going any where. Not now not ever." He said kissing her as his hands rubbed her back. Karen took his hand and led him up to their master bed room. She kissed his lips softly as she removed his shirt and her hands traced down his abs.

"I love you so much Shane. You are my everything and I can't imagine my life with out you." Karen said as she feathered kisses on his chest.

"mm I love you too." Shane moaned as Karen moved her hand into his shorts and started stroking him she could feel him getting harder with every stroke. "Damn sweet heart." He moaned kissing her. Shane's hands roamed her body as he they started to make out. They helped each other strip off the rest of the clothes they were wearing and finally made their way to their bed. Shane thrusting slowly in to her. Karen moving her hips to match his.

"Shane!" She moaned out in pure pleasure as she wrapped her legs around him feeling him go deeper into her.

"You feel so damn good!" He growled as he went faster making her moan louder.

"You make me feel so good. Just like that." She panted out her breathing getting heavy. She was getting close. Shane could tell she wouldn't last much longer as he began to go faster and harder. As they both climaxed together saying each others names.

"I love you." Shane said pulling his wife close to him and kissing her.

"I love you too. Don't ever scare me like that again!" She said cuddling close to him never wanting to let him go.

August 2017 – SummerSlam: Brooklyn, New York.

Karen had been feeling under the weather the last several weeks. She thought it was just stress as she had been on a few interviews for a teaching job in the city. She was passed over for two of them and was still waiting to hear back on from the third school. The boys had also been keeping them busy. They were with them every other week.. Karen loved her life as a wife and step mom to three amazing boys but they could be rowdy at times.

"Karen sweet heart?" Shane asked.

"Just a minute." She said from their bathroom as their was a silence and then Shane could hear her getting sick again. He opened the door and came in.

"Shane I told you I don't want you to see me like this." She said gagging a little.

"I am your husband I am here for it all baby. But still not feeling good huh?" He said leaning down next to her and rubbing her back.

"No. I think it's just stress of not having a job yet and possibly that Chinese food we ate the other night." She said.

"Karen I told you don't worry about not having a teaching job yet. If you get one great if not that's fine too. You don't have to work if you don't want too." Shane said kissing her forehead.

"Shane I know you've said that but I am a teacher it's what I do. I would really like to teach but I guess if I don't get a job I can be a substitute in the local districts or something." She said slowly standing up and flushing the toilet. She washed her hands and brushed her teeth then rinsed her mouth out with mouth wash.

"Listen sweet heart I don't want you to stress about this OK. I will support you no matter what."

"Thank you Shane." She said kissing his cheek as she went to go lay back down.

"So I am gonna take the boys with me to the arena now. Maybe you should stay home tonight since you don't feel so well."

"What and miss Summerslam? Not a chance McMahon." Karen smiled. "I will be there."

"I love you." Shane smiled kissing her. "Please just rest up."

"I love you too."

Tonight was a big night. Shane was the special guest referee for the US Title Match between Kevin Owens and AJ Styles. Dean and Seth were in a Raw Tag team title match against Cesaro and Sheamus. Roman was main eventing another Pay Per View in a fatal four way against Samoa Joe, Brock Lesnar and Braun Stroman for the Universal title.

Later that evening.

"You ready for your match?" Karen asked Dean as they were hanging out in the locker room.

"Totally but babe you look like shit." He stated.

"Gee thank. You know I think a little Moxley is coming out." She said shaking her head.

"The PG version I guess. But for real you don't look like you feel all that great."

"I don't. I think I am just tired and stressed that I haven't found a job yet." Karen said to her friend.

"Really? You are like the best 3rd grade teacher how have you not found a job yet?" He asked.

"I wish I knew. I mean maybe taking a year off wont be so bad. I am still getting use to this new life. Like I told Shane maybe I will be a substitute. I guess we will see." She said as Seth came in.

"Ugh." Karen said feeling her stomach turn.

"You alright?" Dean asked.

"Yeah but Seth what did you eat?" She asked.

"I had BBQ chicken why?" He asked as Charla and Roman came in behind him.

"Did you take a bath in it?" She asked as Charla chuckled.

"How the hell can you smell that?" Seth asked sniffing himself.

"I don't know but damn I can smell you from here." Karen said.

As Roman walked over and sat on the couch next to Karen.

"Hey Baby girl. Been awhile. I've missed you." Roman said.

"It really has and I've missed you too Big Dog! How have you been?" Karen asked.

"Alright. Rigo keeps me busy on my days off."

"Awe I bet he's getting so big." Karen smiled as Roman got out his phone and showed her pictures. "He's crawling now look at that."

"Yeah he likes to pull himself up on things. I said he's gonna be walking by Halloween" Roman said.

"I bet he will too he looks just like you." Karen smiled.

"Think we could ..." Roman began to say when they heard a knock on the door.

Seth answered it and they heard a child's voice say.

"Is my mom in here?"

"Your Mom?" Seth asked.

"Declan?" Karen asked standing up slowly as she felt a little queasy.

"Yeah." He said coming into the room.

"What's up Mr. Man?"

"Mom we're hungry and Dad wanted me to come find you so we could eat." Declan said.

Shortly after the wedding the boys sat down with Shane and Karen they asked if it would be OK to call Karen Mom. At first Karen was a little nervous as she didn't want them to think she was replacing their real mom. She also didn't want Marissa upset about it but they said as long as the boys felt comfortable and wanted to they could call her Mom or Karen.

"Alright. Let's go get your brothers and get you something to eat. Good Luck tonight guys." Karen said as she left the room with her step son.

"Damn it." Roman growled.

"Uce what' sup?"

"I just don't get it. She broke up with me because she wanted me to be a dad and not miss out on those moments. But she's living that life with Shane? She's a step mom to his three boys but she couldn't stick it out with me? Did I just not love her enough or did I just not fight hard enough?" Roman ask his best friend.

"Uce I don't know but you are with Tayla and Karen is with Shane. So you can't keep pining over her. I get it you love her man but maybe you are better off friends. If you're not careful you're gonna lose her all together. Think about that." Dean said to his friend who he knew deep down he still loved Karen.

The show started Karen, the boys and Charla took their seats ring side to enjoy the show.

"Mom can I get cotton candy?" Rogan asked.

"No sweetie you can get popcorn a little bit later or a pretzel but to much sugar this late isn't good for you." Karen said to the youngest McMahon son.

"awe man. OK." He said as he came to sit on her lap as they watched the show.

It was now the Tag Match with Seth and Dean vs Sheamus and Cesaro. Charla was so excited as she cheered on her man.

"I think Dean and Seth." Kenyon said.

"I think they win too." Karen smiled.

As they watched the match and cheered on the team of Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose.

Dean gave Sheamus a dirty deeds for the win.

"YES! They won." Declan said as the boys cheered.

As Charla was screaming with excitement. Seth came over and gave his fiancee a hug and a kiss.

Dean gave the boys high fives. As he hugged Karen.

"You are sweaty and gross." Karen chuckled.

"The chicks dig it." He said cocky.

"Dean I am so damn proud of you. You are a GrandSlam champion." Karen smiled with pride. She was so proud of her friend in this amazing moment.

"Yeah and the first Shield Member to do it." Declan said giving him another high five.

The next match was the US title match with AJ Styles vs Kevin Owens with Shane as the special guest referee.

"Here comes the money" played in the arena and the boys cheered and waved at their Dad as he got in the ring and looked down at his family and gave them a wink and a wave.

"They boys look cute in matching Shane referee shirts." Charla smiled.

"They do don't they?" Karen smiled. "It's their thing they love looking their Dad."

"He's gonna be the best referee right Mom." Rogan smiled.

"Right." Karen smiled bopping his nose.

As the match started they all watched on as Shane was an animated referee he was fair but was making faces and watching the action as well. When AJ went for a 450 splash Shane took the brunt of that hit. Then Owens did a power bomb to AJ as Shane collected himself and counted. AJ kicked out at two. Owens was upset and kept saying that was three.

"IT WAS 2!" Declan yelled to the ring as the boys held up two fingers.

"SHUT UP you little brats it was 3." Owens yelled at them.

In character or not Karen felt that was uncalled for talking to the kids that way.

"DON'T YELL AT MY KIDS YOU BIG ASS!" Karen yelled back to Owens. The three boys looked at her and giggled.

As Owens was now in Shane's face yelling at him about how it was a three count and Shane insisting it was two.

"You fall of buildings but you can't get up for a three count where were you?" He said.

"It was two." Shane said.

Owens was angry as he turned his attention back to the match at hand. When once again Shane was kicked and he fell out of the ring as AJ had locked in an ankle lock to Owens. Shane slowly started to move around and get back into the ring. AJ tried to tell Shane that Owens tapped but Shane was outside the ring and didn't see it. AJ shoved Shane and he shoved him back. When Owens went to roll up AJ but he kicked out. After a few more kick outs and mishaps. AJ did a second styles cash to Owens for the win. As AJ celebrated in the ring Shane came over to Karen and the kids. As he gave them a high five and kissed Karen softly on the lips.

"You did a great job Dad." Kenyon said.

"Yeah good job." Rogan smiled.

"Dad. Mom called KO an A.S S." Declan laughed spelling out the word.

Shane chuckled. "She did huh?"

"Well Kevin needs to back off and not talk about my kids that way and leave my husband alone." Karen said. Shane smiled and kissed her again.

Karen gave the boys a choice to either go back stage or watch the rest of the show ring side. Of course they wanted to watch the rest of the show ring side.

"Mom want a bite of my pretzel?" Rogan asked.

"No thanks little man." Karen smiled.

"Popcorn?" Kenyon asked.

"You are both so sweet but no thanks you boys enjoy your snacks."

"Still feeling gross huh?" Declan asked.

"That I am Mr. Man." Karen said.

As they watched the fatal four way. Roman couldn't help but smile seeing Karen ring side for the match. It was a brutal fatal four way match. Roman gave Brock three super man punches and went for the spear when some how Brock countered with an F5 and pinning Roman to retain the Universal Title.

Karen couldn't help but feel bad for Roman as she new how much he wanted to be champion. She hoped he would get that chance sooner rather than later. Their relationship may not have worked out but he was still her friend and she wanted nothing but the best for him.

Several Days Later.

Karen stood in her bathroom shocked and over whelmed as she stared at the pregnancy test in her hand. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. She ended up taking three different tests to be sure.

Shane came in to the bed room as Karen came out of the bathroom holding one of the test behind her back.

"How was your day?" Karen asked.

"It was good. Got a lot of work done." Shane smiled kissing her. "How was your day? You feeling any better?" He asked as he walked over to their closest.

"I am. My day was really good actually. Shane ..." She smiled.

"Yeah Sweet heart." Shane said as he was hanging up his suit jacket when he turned to look at his wife.

"I'm …we're … we're pregnant." She said showing him the test in her hand.

Shane stood there staring at the clearly positive pregnancy test.
