September 2017
"Congratulations on being a Daddy again." Paul said hitting Shane's back as they were backstage at Smackdown live. "Think your old ass can handle it?" He teased.
"Man I hope so. It's still kind of sinking in. We went to her first appointment last week and it was a whirl wind. I mean Rogan is 7. So it's been 7 years since I've done this. Honestly I never expected to do it again. Marissa and I were done we decided that three boys was enough." Shane explained to his brother in law.
"So didn't want any more kids?" Paul asked.
"I mean not necessarily. Karen is a great Mom to the boys. I guess I didn't think it would happen so soon if at all."
"Well it's happening." Paul grinned. "When is she due?"
"Her official due date is April 10th."
Paul laughed. "So basically a Wrestlemania baby?"
Shane laughed too. "Yeah that's what Dad said. He said he'd have the jet on stand by."
"You do know it's boy too right?" Paul laughed.
"Yeah. I already told Karen it's a boy. She said she thinks so too." Shane laughed thinking about his wife and unborn child.
"Have you told the boys yet?"
"No. We are waiting until this weekend when we have them. Karen is making them a special dinner and she got them big brother gifts."
Karen was sitting on the couch going over the lesson plans for her class tomorrow. She didn't get a full time job but was asked by one of the local private elementary schools to be a long term substitute until Christmas break. While their 2nd grade teacher was on maternity leave. Karen agreed hoping this would get her foot in the door for a full time job when something opened up. She had been feeling nauseous off and on all day. One thing she learned over the last few weeks is that this morning sickness was no joke and it seemed to want to hit her out of no where. Oddly enough the only thing that made her feel better lately was root beer floats and french fries. But it had to be A&W root beer. She was drinking her float and reading while Smackdown live was playing in the background. When she heard "Here comes the Money" she turned up the TV. She smiled seeing Shane come to the ring as she placed her hand on her stomach.
"That's your daddy baby. He thinks you are a boy and I think so too. This is a house full of McMahon boys." She smiled as she watched the promo but rolled her eyes when she realized it was with Kevin Owens she wasn't sure why but ever since SummerSlam he just annoyed her.
"If it was up to me I would still be on Raw." Kevin said.
"Well we definitely agree on that. And I wonder why that is Kevin oh let me go back and go down memory lane. Is that because Triple H single handily gave you the Universal Championship? See that's not how it works here on Smackdown live. You have to earn your championships. Matter of fact all talent earn their successes Kevin and by the way when you look at me don't blame me why you are not successful. Blame yourself." Shane told him.
Kevin stood there and scoffed. "So you're telling me the reason I am not United States Champion right now has nothing to do with you? Of course it has to do with you because everything around here has something to do with Shane McMahon. Because you make sure that is how it is. Shane what happened man? Why? Why are you like this? Why do you need to do all these things to get the spot light? Is it cause your Daddy didn't give you enough attention when you were a kid?" Kevin said as the crowded reacted to what he was saying. "Is that why you're willing to do anything to be the center of attention? You're willing to parade your kids around here making them dance during your entrance."
"Oh hell No! Kevin you did not just mention our kids!" Karen grumbled at the TV as she watched Shane get into Kevin's face and point at him.
"DO NOT MENTION MY KIDS AGAIN!" Shane stated simply as he then let Kevin continue to talk.
"What about jumping off the cell? Look Dad look what I can do I can jump off the cell. Look Daddy I can fall off really tall things and get back up. Look Daddy I can survive a helicopter crash."
"OH hell no you didn't!" Karen growled at the TV. She knew this was scripted for the story but it was getting to personal and fast.
"I am gonna be real honest with you man. Your entire family would have been better off if you hadn't survived that crash. Everyone. Your Dad. Your pregnant wife."
"What how the hell did he know!" Karen said. She knew the boys would be watching and they hadn't told them yet. Did Shane approve this her and the kids were now being dragged into this story line.
Shane listened and tensed up he knew that line was just added by Vince to give more of an impact but it wasn't cleared through him.
"And especially your kids!" Kevin stated no sooner did those words leave his mouth Shane was on the attack he was tossing jab after jab. He tossed him over the announcers table and was beating the crap out of Kevin Owens. When the officials tried to separate them when that didn't work Daniel Bryan finally came out to help separate them yelling "What are you doing?" To Shane as he tossed several more punches KO's way before finally stepping back.
When Shane got back stage he went up to Paul and Vince.
"Dad what the hell was that?" Shane asked.
"That was good shit! Great TV." Vince said patting his son's arm.
"Dad you changed the promo. We haven't told everyone Karen's pregnant and now the whole damn world knows. We hadn't even told the kids." Shane said.
"Well it makes for great TV. It adds fuel to the feud. More to fight for more reason to be ruthless." Vince stated.
"Karen's gonna be pissed." Shane said looking at Paul. "Did you know about the script change?"
"No man last minute by Vince before KO went out to the ring." Paul said as Shane just nodded.
Shane grabbed a bottle water then headed to the office to call Karen before his next segment. Karen's phone went off as she smiled seeing it was Shane.
"Hey stud." Karen said.
"On a scale of 1 to pissed how mad are you?" Shane asked.
"I am not totally pissed just shocked. I mean I know you mentioned earlier about this but Shane I mean he mentioned the pregnancy on Live TV. We haven't even told the boys yet. I just hope they aren't super mad we didn't tell them before the whole damn world and I just I wasn't expecting it to be used in a story line either." Karen said.
"I know I wasn't either. He was just suppose to say wife." Shane stated.
"Vince." Karen said shaking her head.
"Yep. He changed the script last minute before Kevin went out to the ring. Are you sure this is OK?" Shane asked.
"No it's not OK but it's already done so I guess there is not much we can do about it. But we are really gonna have to make it up to the boys if they are mad about it because they really should have heard it from us not that fat ass." Karen blurted.
Shane laughed. "Not a KO fan huh?"
"Oh hell no he is on my shit list Shane story line or not he started all this bull crap when he called our kids brats at SummerSlam." Karen stated.
Shane loved how over protective his wife was with him and the boys.
"I love you Karen so damn much." Shane said.
"I love you too."
Shane had another segment with Daniel Bryan where he talked about how he will take responsibility for his actions but understand that when someone talks about his family like that he goes into a blind range. When they cross that line there is no going back. Then Daniel went to talk about what legal issues they were in and Shane said he would talk to Kevin and get this straightened out. Daniel said no he wouldn't as he had gotten a call from WWE well more like Shane's father Vince McMahon and Shane was now in-defiantly suspended.
Karen had gotten ready for bed and got things around for work tomorrow just in time to see that last little bit of SD Live which was another segment with Daniel and KO.
"Oh Daniel Buddy. We are just getting started. Next week I am gonna make Smackdown live my own personal playground and your personal night mare. And guess what legally there is not a damn thing you are anybody can do about it." He stated.
"Maybe not but there is someone coming next week to address this whole situation."
"Oh man did I make Shane's little wife mad? Is Shane's wife coming next week to handle this?" Kevin said.
"NO Mr. McMahon." Daniel stated as he walked away.
"Oh Kevin you don't want me to come to Smackdown live. I will make what Shane did to you look like child's play. I know a guy I will unleash the Moxley on you. You dumb ass but not before I smack your smug ass." She stated.
Several Days Later.
Karen was home cooking dinner as Shane had taken the boys out to his gym to burn off some energy. It had been raining most of the day so the boys were cooped up inside and all they wanted to do was wrestle around. Shane was a big kid himself and of course would have to get in on all the action. Karen had made a Lasagna and bread sticks with a side salad. For an added treat for the boys she made individual chocolate pudding cups with crushed up Oreos and gummy worms. Also known as dirt pudding.
"Mom! I totally beat up dad." Rogan said running into the kitchen hugging Karen.
Karen smiled. "You did? Did you hurt him bad? Does he need an ice pack?"
"No he's tough he's fine." He giggled.
"Yeah we totally beat him up and I got to train and box with the gloves. It was awesome." Declan smiled.
"Sounds like you boys had a great time." Karen smiled.
"It was great. I jumped off the top of the ring ropes!" Kenyon smiled as Shane came in and kissed Karen.
"Teaching the boys to kick butt like you?" Karen asked kissing him again.
"They are naturals sweet heart." He told her. "But we worked up a hell of an appetite didn't we boys." Shane smiled. "mm smells good in here."
"Well you are in luck because dinner is ready. But boy go wash your hands before dinner." Karen asked.
"awe Mom but we are clean." Rogan whined.
"Let me see those hands." Karen said.
"Umm yeah ok maybe I better go wash my hands." He said looking at his hands.
"Good idea." Karen smiled as the boys ran to the bathroom to wash their hands.
"No fighting!" Shane yelled to the boys.
"You all had fun huh?" Karen smiled as she reached up to get the plates down as Shane was checking her out.
"It was a really good day. It was nice to spend the afternoon with the boys at the gym."
"I am glad you got that time with them." She said.
As they all sat down at the table and enjoyed their nice home cooked meal as a family.
"This is really good Brown eyes." Shane said taking a bite. "Thank you."
"Well it's my job to keep all you boys fed." Karen said taking a bite herself. "Declan would you like more bread?" She asked passing him the bread.
"Thanks mom." He said taking another one.
"So boys Karen and I want to talk to you." Shane said.
"I didn't do it." Kenyon said.
"Me either." Rogan said.
Karen giggled at the boys. "Did what?"
"Nothing." Kenyon giggled.
"Usually when we hear I want to talk someone gets in trouble." Declan stated.
"Awe well boys no one is in trouble. We just wanted to talk to you about what happened on Smackdown this week." Karen said to them.
"I didn't get to watch it because my mom made me to go bed." Rogan said pouting.
"I didn't get to watch either because I had to finish my math homework." Kenyon said.
"I watched it and Dad you kicked KO's butt. He shouldn't talk crap about us!" Declan said.
"I agree that wasn't very nice of him at all was it." Karen said.
"No and I hope you get a chance to beat him up for it." Declan said.
Shane smiled. "That isn't really what we want to talk to you about."
Shane took Karen's hand and kissed it.
"Dad what's going on?" Declan asked.
"Boys what would you say if I said you were all gonna be big brothers?" Shane asked.
"What?" Declan asked.
"I'm already a big brother to this dork." Kenyon said looking at Rogan.
"I am not a dork. Butt face."
"Boys no name calling." Shane said.
"Sorry" both of them said.
"Here maybe this will help." Karen said leaving the room going to get their gift bags.
"Dad what's really going on?" Declan asked.
"Well boys Karen is going to have baby." Shane said looking at his sons who looked back at him and didn't say anything as Karen came in and handed them each a bag.
"You're having a baby mom?" Kenyon asked.
Karen smiled. "I am buddy. How does that make you boys feel?"
The boys opened the bags each gift was tailored to their likes then they each got a shirt. Declan's said "Biggest Brother." Kenyon's said "Bigger Brother" and Rogan's said "Big Brother."
"I'm gonna be a big brother?" Rogan asked.
"That you are little man how you feeling about that?" Karen asked.
"This is awesome! Finally I can beat up on someone." Rogan giggled.
Karen couldn't help but smiled.
"Declan? Kenyon what about you two?" Karen asked.
"I mean it's kinda cool. But like will we still get to do all the fun stuff?" Declan asked.
"Of course Mr. Man. Nothing changes expect we are just adding another person into our growing family." Karen said.
"Is it a baby brother or sister?" Kenyon asked.
"Bud we don't know that. We wont know that for several more months. Why?" Shane asked.
"I want another brother! Boys rule." Kenyon said.
"Yeah I want a brother too." Rogan said.
Karen could tell that Declan was quiet about all this. She knew this was probably hard for him since he was the oldest and there soon would be another child into the mix. But she told herself she would give him time to get use to the news before she talked to him further about it. Rogan was the most excited to be a big brother.
After dinner Shane and the boys went off to go play video games as Karen was cleaning the kitchen. When her phone buzzed she laughed seeing it was Dean.
"Hey Nerd!" She laughed answering the phone.
"NO one calls me a nerd! You watched Raw didn't you?" Dean chuckled.
"I did and you know I don't think you are one." She giggled. "What are you doing?"
"Oh you know making towns kicking ass." Dean stated.
"What state are you even in?" Karen asked.
Dean laughed as there was a long pause. "I have no idea California maybe?"
Karen giggled. "Just don't get lost. I mean as long as you are in LA on Sunday for No Mercy. "
"Nah GPS babe. But hey I have a bone to pick with you."
"Oh here we go. What?" She said moving around the kitchen cleaning it up.
"I heard a little rumor that you are pregnant."
"Well for once that rumor is true." She said.
"What? Karen really no way? Wait and you didn't tell me first?" He said pretending to be hurt.
"To be fair I told my husband first."
"Yeah alright then but I heard KO used it in a promo so many didn't know if it was real or story line."
"Ugh! I know that was not the plan. We told Vince because he's well he's going to be a grandfather again. I just didn't think he would use it in a damn story line." Karen said shaking her head.
"Vince will use anything if he thinks it's entertainment babe." Dean told her.
"I know but doesn't make it any less frustrating."
"Yeah tell me about it. But you ok with it? I mean you being used in a the show?" Dean asked his friend.
"I don't really have a choice what's done is done. Just a little heads up next time would be nice."
"Yeah so tell Shane that alright? I don't want to see you getting hurt in all this."
"Mox what would I do with out you." Karen smiled so grateful how their friendship and bond had formed over the last year and half.
"I like that you call me Moxley makes me feel like my indie self again." He smiled.
"Hey will you tell Roman good luck for me." Karen asked.
"Sure you don't want to talk to him? He's actually in the gas station right now." Dean explained.
"I don't think he wants to talk to me. I tried calling him the other day and it went to voice mail."
"Did you leave a message?" Dean asked.
"I did the second time I called. Just tell him good luck with his match against Cena."
"Will do babe. Hey take care of yourself and that little baby."
"I will." Karen smiled.
After getting off the phone with Dean she started the dishwasher. When Shane came in.
"Who were you talking too?" Shane asked.
"Dean. He's on his way to a live event and wanted to see if me being pregnant was real or story line." Karen said.
"What did you tell him?" Shane asked.
"That is was real because well it's real. We are having a baby." Karen said it was still hard to believe that her dreams were finally coming true. She was married to the silver fox that stood in front of her and she was pregnant with his baby.
"We are having a baby." Shane stated when they heard the boys fighting in the other room.
"GET OFF ME!" Rogan said.
"NO TAP OUT! TAP OUT!" Kenyon said.
"NEVER!" Rogan yelled.
"You sure you want to add another kid to this craziness?" Shane asked.
"Little Late for that McMahon." Karen said. "Rogan Henry and Kenyon Jesse you have until the count of three and the time I get in there to let one another go!" Karen yelled to them.
As she headed to go break up the fight and told the boys no more fighting and it was time to settle down they could either watch a movie together as a family or they could read. They chose to watch a movie.
Over the next few weeks the feud with Kevin Owens heated up. On Smackdown Vince came out to address KO. He said that he was going to lift Shane's suspension and there wasn't going to be law suit there was gonna be a match. Kevin Owens vs Shane McMahon inside Hell in a Cell. KO then attacked Vince after the announcement. Karen wasn't thrilled with the news at all but Shane assured her everything would be fine.
Shane went back to Smackdown live to address Kevin Owens.
"So Kevin Owens imagine if you were at home last week like I was. Sitting with your children as I was sitting with my three sons and my lovely wife. And you watch someone that you love get beat down by a coward. How would that make you feel? My kids witnessed their Grandfather getting beat down in the middle of this ring. And let me promise you this when someone disparages or crosses the line against any McMahon as a family we will strike out with massive vengeance. Kevin Owens I don't think you realize what you've actually done or maybe you have because I am the one standing in the middle of this ring and thus far you are a no show. Kevin Owens you didn't just beat down the chairman and CEO of WWE. You beat down the patriarch of my family. Kevin Owens I Shane McMahon condemn you. I condemn you to a ruthless beating at my own hands. I condemn you to a life of pain and suffering from these hands and I condemn you to Hell in the Cell!"
