March 2019

"I am so glad you decided to come to Fastlane." Stephanie said to Karen as they were on the jet heading to Cleveland Ohio.

"Me too. I haven't been to an event since Extreme Rules." She stated taking a sip of her drink.

"I had noticed that. Any reason why?" Stephanie asked her sister in law.

"Because I can be a jealous bitter bitch sometimes. I think I just needed time away. Being honest I didn't really even want to come to Fast Lane but last minute I changed my mind." Karen said.

"Trouble with you and Shane? I've noticed you've kind of been a bit distant lately. I didn't want to pry but we are family and you can talk to me about anything."

Karen signed looking at her sister in law. Then glanced over at Shane who was at the table across from Paul both working their computers.

"I love Shane so much. He makes me so happy in ways I never thought possible. I never thought I deserved love until I met him." Karen said.

"But ..." Stephanie said.

"I knew marriage wasn't going to be easy and I think Shane and I do well being honest with each other but he can be so damn stubborn." She said.

"That's the McMahon him. He's just like our dad in that way. What is he being stubborn about this time?"

"Oh man he's gonna hate me for telling you this but well you know we've been trying to have a baby for over a year?" Karen started to explain as Stephanie nodded.

"I know that loss was hard for you and Shane." Stephanie said.

"I thought that maybe something was wrong with me so you know how I was on those fertility drugs but for some reason my body couldn't handle them. So I was taken off them. I had the doctor run a few tests. I even went to see a specialist in New York. But that's not the case the Doctor isn't sure why I am not getting pregnant. I've been using that ovulation test and calendars. Still nothing. So it was recommended for Shane to see someone to get checked and he has basically refused. I get it wont be fun but I have been poked and prodded. I guess I thought he would at least try. He said because he's already had three kids he's fine and there is nothing wrong. He says his age has nothing to do with it." Karen explained to her.

"Yeah Shane is to damn stubborn to admit he may need help with anything."

Karen nodded and agreed with Stephanie.

"I just wish he wouldn't be so defensive and he'd be more open to it. I feel like it took him so long to even get on board with the idea of having another baby and now I just fear he will back out and it wont happen."

"Have you talked to him about your fears?" Stephanie asked.

"I tried. I feel like he's been brushing off my concerns. He keeps saying it will happen when it happens and he's all man. After our last argument about it I kind of needed space and dropped the subject." Karen said.

"Is that why you went to Vegas?" Stephanie asked very straight forward.

"What?" Karen asked looking at her.

"I know you went to Vegas a few weeks ago. Was that to get back at Shane or something?"

"No it wasn't to get back at anyone. I just needed a little vacation or get away so to say. So I invited Taylor and Kristi my friends from Michigan to go to Vegas. I didn't want to be in the cold and snow and since neither one had been to Vegas before I thought it would be fun. I hope Shane didn't take it that way he didn't seem to. I just told him that since he was busy with work it seemed like a good time." Karen said.

Stephanie nodded. "I know you and Shane will work this out. Shane loves you I've never seen him this in love before not even with Marissa."

"I love him too and I know things happen for a reason. I know I need to stop pressuring him. Sometimes I just need to let things go." She said.

Sunday: Cleveland Ohio – Fast Lane.

Karen was backstage in the room marked for the McMahon family. Paul and Vince were in production meetings while Shane was off with Miz going over the match for the night. She had no idea where Stephanie had gone off too. Karen glanced at the time on her phone as she was checking Instagram and twitter. She wondered if Roman was here. He came back a few weeks ago from his medical leave. The truth had finally come out when he returned about why he had been out for so long. He was battling with leukemia. He had it before and fought it and when it returned he took time away from WWE and the ring to fight it again. He was now in remission and back. Tonight he would have a match side by side with his Shield Brothers for one of their last matches.

Karen wanted to see him and give him a big hug. She was so thankful that he was in remission once again. She felt horrible that she was mad at him for ignoring her these last several months but once the truth came out she understood that he needed to focus on himself and his family. She was lost in thought when her phone buzzed her hand.

"Hey babe! Finally made it to the arena in the Shield locker room come see me." She read the text message from Moxley complete with wink face emoji.

She chuckled and headed down towards the Shield locker room. As she walked past a few people they greeted her with smiles and the occasional "Hello Mrs. McMahon." She reached the door marked Shield and knocked softly.

"It's open." said a raspy voice.

Karen turned the handle and walked in seeing Jon standing their shirtless in just his Shield pants. She would be lying to herself if she thought he wasn't sexy standing there. One things for sure there was no lack of hot men in her life at this moment.

"Hey Babe. Damn I missed you." He said pulling her into a hug she didn't hesitate at all to hug him back as she felt his lips kiss the top of her head.

"I missed you too loser." She smiled.

"Loser huh? That hurt just a little." He said pretending to be hurt. As he was starting at her cleavage. "Damn your tits look huge in that shirt."

"Jonathon!" She said embarrassed hitting his arm. "Oh my goss! They do not. This is a new shirt and I knew I shouldn't have wore it with the V cut being so low. But it was silk so I said what the hell."

"Hey I am not complaining I am just saying you look good." He stated.

"Then you say it like that. You say you look nice today Karen or you look beautiful. Not that my boobs are huge." She said shaking her head.

"Even if they do?" He chuckled.

"If they do which I think you are seeing things then it has to be the padded bra."

"Karen we were in Vegas a few weeks ago and you wore that Red sparkly shirt and they didn't look huge then. It's not the padded bra." He said reaching out to poke her.

"Stop! We are not talking about this any more. You need your eyes checked." She giggled poking his chest first.

"Oh it's like that huh?" He laughed as he tried to reach for her but she stepped back. She nodded as she tried to get away from him but he grabbed her to fast as he pulled her into him and started tickling her as they fell to the ground she couldn't help but laugh.

"Stop! Mox that tickles. Stop." She laughed as she snorted in laughter which in turn made Moxley laugh even harder.

"Am I interrupting something?" Roman stated looking down at them on the floor as he was standing in the door way.

"Hey Uce!" Moxley said from the floor as Karen stood up.

"Hi Roman. It's been awhile. How are you feeling?" She asked straightening up her shirt.

"Hey baby girl. It's been far to long. I am doing much better thank you." He told her as she hugged him.

"I wish I would have known sooner. I wish there was something I could have done for you." She said as she hugged him.

"Thank you that means a lot. I wanted to tell you I just didn't know how. I wasn't in a place mentally to deal with it. Only a few knew until I was ready to tell the world." He explained in their hug.

"I understand. I am just so grateful that you are OK. You are right?" She asked looking at him.

"Yes I am in remission. Just have to keep a constant check on those blood levels and take medication for life. But other than that I am getting back to normal." He smiled at her. "I really did miss you. There were so many times that I wanted to call and just talk to you but I didn't know what to say."

"I was hurt at first but once I knew what was going on I understood that you just needed space you needed to focus on your health on your own and be with your family. How is Tayla and Rigo?" She asked.

"Rigo has so much energy it's insane. I don't know where he keeps it. Tayla and I we actually are no longer together." He stated.

"Oh Roman I am so sorry to hear that." She said.

"I'm not. One thing I have learned through all this is that you can't live life scared or miserable. To not take each day for granted because tomorrow is no guarantee." Roman said taking a piece of her hair and tucking it behind her ear.

"Live life the way you want Uce. Nothing wrong with that we all have to do what we have to live our best life." Moxley said.

"Exactly Mox but that doesn't mean I am not gonna miss you." Karen said.

"Hey we'll always have Vegas babe and you'll have to come visit." He winked.

"Vegas?" Roman asked. "What are you talking about?"

"What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas Uce." Moxley said cocky with that in ring wiggle.

Later that Night.

Karen was watching the show with Stephanie as they were watching the SD Live tag team match Shane and The Miz vs The Usos.

"He looks good out there doesn't he?" Karen smiled at Stephanie as she was watching her husband in the ring.

"I admit he's still got it in the ring." Stephanie said with a smile.

"Well yeah that too." Karen grinned.

"I know what you meant but he's my brother so can't agree there."

As they both laughed and continued to watch the match. When the Miz went for a frog splash but Jey Uso countered into a roll up for the win.

"And still your Smackdown Live Tag Team Champions The USOS!" Greg announced.

Shane and Miz went over to Miz's Dad who was ring side for the match. Shane hugged Miz and Miz's dad. But then he attacked Miz from behind throwing him into the barricade and then putting him in a sleeper hold all while yelling things at Miz's dad.

"Damn Shane!" Karen said shaking her head.

"Shane doesn't tell you how the show plays out does?" Stephanie laughed.

"Not usually. He never tells the boys either." Karen said.

"He's full on heel now." Stephanie said.

"I can see that of course back in the day I remember watching heel Shane and the corporation." Karen chuckled.

"Oh goodness I haven't thought about the Corporation in years what was that like 1999." Stephanie chuckled.

"I remember when Shane retired the European Title. I was in like 8th grade watching it. I had a crush on him even back then. If you would have told 14 year old me that some day I would be married to Shane McMahon and living this dream. I would have said you were nuts." Karen smiled remembering back to when she would watch WWE.

Stephanie smiled. "I can tell you are good for my brother and he's good for you. Don't give up on him. He maybe a stubborn ass but he's worth it."

"He really is worth it." Karen smiled as she saw Shane coming over to them. "Hell of a heel turn McMahon."

"It was bound to happen and what better way to turn heel then to kick the Miz's ass in front of his father in his home town." Shane grinned. "I am a McMahon after all."

They watched the rest of the Pay per view together as Shane reached over and held her hand. During the Main event Karen watched on feeling mixed emotions for what was happening. She was so happy Roman was back and getting healthy. But she was sad knowing the Moxley was leaving soon. She knew this is something he had to do as this place was toxic for him. The Shield came away with the victory.

"Are you crying sweet heart?" Shane asked.

"It's just a little bitter sweet. Jon's leaving and Roman just got back." Karen said wiping a tear.

"Ambrose didn't even look at the new contract he was offered." Shane said.

"I know." Karen said.

"You know?" Shane questioned looking at his wife.

"He talked to me about it. It's not about the money Shane it's about his creative freedom if Vince can't let Moxley be unleashed and be who he is then this isn't going to work. Jon knows that he feels that in his heart." Karen explained.

"Still sucks we lose him."

"I agree but you can't tame a Jon Moxley." Karen said as she glanced over and saw all three Shield members hugging once again back stage.

Karen walked over as Jon saw her and pulled her into a hug as did Roman and Seth. Shane watched his wife interact with the Hounds of Justice.

"Are you crying?" Jon asked as Roman looked at her.

"What? Me nah." She smiled.

"You are a shitty liar." Jon laughed.

"Hey it was a little bitter sweet alright."

"I hear ya. Gonna suck to do this with out ya man." Roman said.

"There really is nothing we can do to get you to change your mind?" Seth asked.

"Sorry boys. You can't cage a wild animal." Jon said winking at Karen.

Karen hugged each guy one more time. When she hugged Roman she whispered in his ear.

"I am so happy you are doing better and you are back."

"Thanks baby girl." Roman said.

Later that night.

Shane and Karen got to their hotel room.

"I am exhausted and I didn't even have a match." Karen chuckled as she tossed on a shirt and was getting comfy on the bed.

"I hope you're not to tired." Shane smiled coming out of the bathroom in just a towel.

Karen smiled staring at her sexy husband.

"Like what you see?" He said all cocky as he dropped the towel.

"Oh hell yes." She smiled watching his every move.

As he crawled on top of her and easily slipped off the shirt as he was nibbling and sucking on her neck.

"Let's make a baby." He whispered in her ear interlocking his hands with her.

It didn't take long for their moans of pleasure to fill the room. Their eyes stayed focused on each other as they both reached the edge.

"I love you so much Karen." Shane said to his wife as he kissed her. Pulling her close to him never wanting to let her go.

"I love you too Shane."
