October 2018

Karen stood in the bathroom staring at yet another negative pregnancy test. Shane was packing because he was heading to Saudi Arabia for their second live event this year Crown Jewel. Then he would be going to England so he was going to be gone for about a week.

The last 6 months had been so amazing for Karen and Shane. He had his surgery in May and Karen was their with him every step of the way. He chose to take the summer off and away from WWE. Which was the best thing for them they grew closer as husband and wife also as a family. They spent a lot of time with the boys as they spent time at their beach house in the Hamptons. They even rented a lake house in Michigan for a few weeks to see a few of Karen's family and friends. They took the boys to several amusement parks in Michigan and Ohio. It was a great summer for them all and much needed time to just be together as a family.

Karen did go see Dean while he was in Ohio for training to get back in the ring. They had a heart to heart about his future and career. He talked about how he needed to find that happiness and passion for wrestling again. She told him she would do whatever she could to help him get there. He needed to follow his heart and do what was best for him. She was so excited when he was finally medically cleared to compete at SummerSlam. However his return the week before was exciting but lack luster as he was right back where he started as Seth's side kick. Karen talked to him about Roman and how she cared about him but she just didn't want to give him this false hope that anything would happen between them. She was married to Shane and she would never do anything to hurt him or break up their marriage. Dean understood that and said he would try and help Roman realize that they were better off friends.

A few weeks ago Roman announced that he would be taking time away from WWE for an undisclosed amount of time. It seemed no one really new why but Karen new it was serious for him to step away from the ring and to relinquish the Universal title he had finally won. She wanted to call him and just make sure everything was alright with him but Shane told her that it wasn't a good idea. She did text him once and tell him that she hoped everything was OK and was thinking about him. He did not respond back to her.

Karen stood staring at the negative test she sighed as she tossed it into the trash. Seeing the negative test had become a far to familiar thing since they started trying to get pregnant. She came out into their bed room as Shane was finishing packing.

"I wish I could go with you this time." Karen said as she was folding one of his shirts.

"Me too brown eyes but it's just not safe for you to go to Saudi." Shane said leaning over to kiss her.

"I know but doesn't mean I wont miss you. I've been so spoiled having you home so much lately." She smiled into the kiss.

"I loved every minute of it spending time with you and the boys. It's been great but the ring calls to me." He said winking at her.

"Yeah I know. It's nice to have you back on SD Live." She said putting his shirt in his suit case.

Shane walked into the bathroom to get a few things when he glanced down in the trash and saw the pregnancy test. He came back out into their room as Karen was folding a few more of his shirts.

"Sweet heart something you want to tell me before I leave?" He asked.

"No why?" She asked putting another shirt in the suit case.

"I saw the pregnancy test in the trash." He said coming over to her.

"It was negative again Shane so there is nothing to tell." She said with a sad look in her eyes.

Shane pulled his wife into a hug.

"It will happen for us sweet heart. Just try to relax and not let it worry you. When the time is right it will happen." Shane told her.

"I know it's just every time I see a negative test I just feel like I am letting you well letting us down." Karen said.

"You could never let me down. Besides trying is most of the fun." He grinned kissing her as his hand went undershirt.

"Shane." She giggled.

"My plane doesn't leave for another couple hours." He grinned pushing his suit case off the end of the bed.

"You just packed all that." She giggled as he took off his shirt and remove his and her pants.

"I'll repack it later." He grinned laying her on the bed and climbing on top of her.

Several Days Later:

Shane was in Saudi Arabia getting ready for Crown Jewel. That morning Karen had went to the doctors office who sadly confirmed what she already knew that she wasn't pregnant but she scheduled the appointment to talk about options to help her get pregnant. Dr. Miller said she was young and healthy but prescribed her a low dose of a fertility drug that may help.

Karen picked up the boys. It was their fall break so she was getting them for a long weekend. They were going to make lunch and watch crown jewel together and she had a few other activities planned this weekend for them. They were up in their rooms unpacking and playing around as Karen was in the kitchen making home made pizza when the boys came in after she called for them.

"You each can put on your own toppings." She said.

"Did you get the good cheese?" Rogan asked sitting on the bar stool.

"Yes I did here." She smiled handing it to him.

As the boys were making their pizza's Karen went into the living room and started the pay per view on the TV.

"MOM can we have a soda?" Kenyon called.

"Yes you can each get one when your pizza is done. Rogan no fruit snacks until that cavity is filled." Karen said coming back into the kitchen.

"Hey how did you know I was getting into them?" Rogan asked having two in his hand.

"She's a Mom they know stuff." Kenyon smiled.

Karen's heart melted when Kenyon said that she loved having this bond with the boys.

"The show is starting so I will put the pizza's in."

"Can we eat in the living room when they are done?" Declan smiled. "We wont make a mess this time right Rogan?"

"Right please?"

"Yes but we just wont tell your dad this time." Karen winked.

They all settled in the living room and watched Crown Jewel eating their snacks. During and after each match the boys would talk about what they liked and disliked. Not to mention what they would tell their Grandpa to change.

"So it's gonna be Miz vs Dolph for the best in the world?" Rogan asked looking at the TV.

"Seems like it little man." Karen said.

"That's lame for real. Dolph it's an A list guy." Declan said.

"He's not?" Karen asked.

"No. I mean he works hard but he's just not a list material and he's just to weird." Declan said.

Karen nodded hearing him out.

"Why doesn't Dean have a match Karen?" Kenyon asked.

"I don't know? I know he's there. Not sure why they didn't give him a match." She answered.

He nodded then looked at Karen.

"Why did Roman have to give him the title and take time off?" Kenyon asked.

"I don't know Kenyon sweetie I wish I knew why but I don't." Karen said.

"Well it stinks because now we'll get Brock as Champion again." Kenyon told her.

"You don't think Braun will win?" Rogan asked.

"No he wont Grandpa just wont give him a championship. Which is stupid and I just don't know why." Declan told his little brother.

They watched the championship match and watched on as Brock became yet again the New Universal Champion.

"See told you and Baron had to get involved which makes it stupid." Declan said shaking his head. "I am gonna tell Grandpa he needs to stop with the Brock crap."

"Think he will listen?" Karen asked.

The boys laughed.

"No he doesn't even listen to Grandma half the time." Kenyon giggled.

Karen smiled at them as they heard "Here comes the Money."

"It's Dad!" Rogan smiled sitting up with Karen on the couch.

Karen couldn't help but smile watching her husband walking down to the ring. Shane and Baron Corbin were going to be sitting ring side for the match.

"I hope Miz wins." Rogan said.

"That's really the only option the trophy has to go to Smackdown." Declan said.

"Yeah or the Miz is getting fired." Kenyon said.

They watched on as Dolph and the Miz got to the ring. The referee wouldn't start the match until Drew went back stage. As he headed up the wrap Miz attacked Dolph before the bell even rang. He tossed him out of the ring and then when he jumped out it appeared he hurt his ankle.

"What the crap?" Declan said.

"Is he hurt? What's the angle here?" Kenyon asked.

"He has to win for the blue team right mom?" Rogan said.

"Yes little man." Karen said as they continued to watch the screen.

It appeared Miz hurt his ankle Shane came over to ask if he was alright as Dolph was now back in the ring. Miz assured him he was fine as he tried to stand up and to get into the ring to start the match. Finally the referee went over to Greg the ring announcer and explained that Dolph would be winning because Miz couldn't compete.

"No it's not going down like that. This is the is the finals for the best in the world! It's not going down like that not for the finals." Shane said stopping Greg from making the official announcement.

"Yeah you tell them dad!" Rogan said.

"He can't compete." The referee told Shane.

"I am gonna take his place. You tell him. You are the official you tell him I am gonna take his place." Shane said to the referee then pointing to Greg.

"WHAT?" Rogan yelled with excitement.

"Dad's gonna compete?" Declan said.

"Dad is gonna wrestle." Kenyon added as all three boys were in shock.

Karen as well as she watched on.

"What is happening right now?" Karen asked.

Shane got into the ring and took off his watch and his suit jacket then the shirt he had on under that. He was now wearing just his jeans, his Jordan ones and a blank tank top.

Karen giggled staring at her husband in the ring.

"What's so funny mom?" Rogan asked looking up at her.

"Your dad looks like he's trying to channel his inner Dean Ambrose."

"WOW! Mom is right he does kind of look like Dean Ambrose."

The boys laughed as the match started and Shane wasted little time going after Dolph with punch after punch. Then Shane did an elbow drop.

"That was awesome!" Declan said.

"Come on Dad beat him up." Rogan said.

As their eyes were all locked on the screen watching the match. After Baron was banned from ring side Dolph went for the roll up but Shane kicked out. Dolph got a few good shots in before Shane got the upper hand. Then connected with a coast to coast on Dolph. He then went for the cover and the win.

"DAD JUST WON!" Rogan screamed.

All three boys were cheering and screaming running around so excited. Karen couldn't believe it either honestly. Shane had just won the best in the world tournament.

"He's the best in the world." Rogan said proudly.

"Darn right he is. That was AWESOME!" Declan said.

"Dad is so awesome that was like epic." Kenyon said.

Karen recorded the boys reaction to his win and sent it to Shane.

"We love you and are so damn proud of you." Karen sent to him.

"Mom that was great did you know?" Declan asked.

"I didn't I promise I had no idea. I am just as shocked and proud of him as you are." Karen smiled watching Shane kiss the trophy and celebrate his win.

Later that evening.

The boys were playing video games as Karen was cleaning up the kitchen when her phone went off and it was Shane for a video chat.

"Hello Handsome or is it best in the world now?" She joked.

"Oh it's best in the world." He smiled that McMahon smile. "The boys were so surprised huh? Thanks for the video that was priceless."

"You're welcome. They are so proud of you as am I. Why didn't you tell me?" Karen asked.

"It was actually a last minute change up. I didn't know until I got here. Besides it was a hell of a surprise." Shane smiled staring at his wife.

"It really was. The boys reactions were the best part. They were so shocked and proud of their dad. Is that why Ambrose didn't have a match either?" She asked.

"Yeah it was cut for time. They were gonna have him interfere in Seth's match but then they advanced Dolph to face me." He explained.

"I see. Is he OK?"

"He's fine. I get he's your friend but why do you care?" Shane asked.

"Because he is my friend and I can see when he's not being used correctly and it's frustrating because I do care about him and his career." Karen explained. "Any news on Roman?"

"Nope none." Shane said rolling his eyes. "Sorry Brown eyes."

"It's alright I was just curious. Want to talk to the boys?" She asked.

"Yes of course!" He smiled.

Karen called the boys down and they each took turns hold her phone and video chatting with their dad tell him how proud and awesome it was that he was now the best in the world. Then they told him how much they loved and missed them. Shane told them he would see them soon. When the boys ran back to play their games.

"I am proud of you too Shane." Karen smiled.

"Damn I miss you already Brown Eyes."

"I miss you too. Shane I ..." She began to say but wasn't sure she wanted to tell him over video chat about her appointment.

"Yeah Sweet heart?"

"I just wanted to say that I love you so much and I can't wait for you to come home."

"Me either. I will be home right after Smackdown on Tuesday." He said.

"Does the trophy get to come home too?" She giggled.

"Maybe." He smiled.

"Make sure you pack that black tank top too." She grinned.

"Really? That did something to you?"

"Oh you have no idea." She smiled at her husband with a wink.

"Noted." He said. "But you have to call me the best in the world."

She smiled as they ended the call.

Shane McMahon was the Best in The World.
