One Week Later.
"Congratulations you are indeed pregnant. About 9 weeks I would say." Dr. Jones said with a smile.
Karen was sitting on the exam table as Shane held her hand and kissed her head upon officially hearing the news.
"I would like to do an ultrasound just to make sure everything is alright." Dr. Jones explained.
"Do you think something could be wrong?" Karen asked nervously.
"No. But with your history I would just like to get a look at this little one." She said.
Karen nodded nervously as she laid back on the table trying to stay calm as her fears and memories from the last time flooded her mind. Shane held her hand as she looked up at him. He winked at her. Dr. Jones started the ultrasound Karen couldn't bring herself to look at the screen not yet. Until they heard the most beautiful sound. Their baby's heart beat.
"Bomp bomp bomp."
"Is … Is that?" Karen asked trying not to cry.
"Yes Karen, Shane that is your baby's heart beat. Here is your little baby." She smiled pointing to the screen.
Karen breathed a huge sign of relief in that moment turning her head to look at their little peanut on the screen.
"That's our baby." Shane said with a smile. "Wow. I forgot what an amazing sound that is."
"Your baby has a strong heart beat and is measuring at almost 10 weeks." Dr. Jones said.
"So everything is looking good?" Karen asked.
"Everything is looking great. Just try and relax. I will see you next month." She smiled printing off the ultrasound photos and handing them to Karen.
"Thank you. We're really having a baby." Karen smiled looking at Shane.
"We're having a baby sweet heart." He smiled down at his wife and gave her a sweet passionate kiss on the lips.
Later that evening.
Karen was sitting on the couch staring at the ultrasound photo so happy and grateful for this little life she was carrying. Shane came in with a glass of milk and handed it to Karen.
"Milk?" She giggled.
"It's good for you and baby more calcium and victims." Shane stated.
"Do I get a cookie?" She smiled as she took a drink.
Shane shook his head no with a smile on his face as he sat down a small plate of cookies. Then he sat down beside his wife and wrapped his arm around her. Karen took another drink of the milk before putting the glass down on the coffee table. She sat back into Shane's arms as she felt his hand go to her stomach. She smiled at her husband.
"Hey there little one it's your Daddy." He said.
"Hi little one I'm your Mommy." Karen said placing her hand on top of Shane's. "You are so loved peanut. Shane I just can't believe it we are finally gonna have our baby."
"Yes we are and hearing the baby's heart beat today just brought all that back." He explained. "I was a little nervous about having another baby but hearing this little one's heart beat today all those fears went away and this calm excitement took over."
She smiled and kissed him softly. "Thank you for this gift for sticking with me and for making all my dreams come true."
"Brown eyes listen I told you that I would make those dreams come true and give you the world. I love you Karen McMahon." He said pulling her into a deep passionate kiss.
"I love you too Shane." She said returning the kiss. "I am just a little nervous and scared." She admitted.
"Scared of what sweet heart?"
"I am scared that I may miscarry again and we lose this baby."
"Karen you can't think like that like. I know it was so hard when we lost our baby a few years ago but this time will be different. We heard this little baby's strong heart beat. This little one is strong and healthy."
"We did hear the heart beat and it was the most amazing sound. But can we just wait to tell people until the second trimester just to put my mind at ease." She asked.
"We can do that sweet heart. But are you sure you don't want to tell the boys when they are here this weekend?" Shane asked her as he grabbed a cookie to eat.
"Just not yet. I don't want to have that conversation again with them if something happens this time. I know they are a little older now but I just don't think my heart can take that again."
"Then we can wait to tell them. But I want to tell them first then my parents then everyone else agreed?" Shane asked.
"Of course we can do that. Speaking of the boys have you talked to Marissa about what Declan asked us? About moving in?"
Shane scoffed. "Yeah I talked to her a little bit about it but it's the same answer she gave when we talked about it before. A flat out no. She said we agreed when we divorced that they would live with her except weekends and holidays and every two weeks in the summer."
"Is that what you agreed to or did she just tell you?" Karen asked.
"What?" Shane questioned.
"I just mean I could see where she maybe told you it would be better this way and you agreeing to it. Not because you honestly thought it was best but to not upset her or the boys." Karen said playing with Shane's hair.
"It was something like that but things have changed now so I don't see why she wont even consider letting the boys live with us? The boys really seem to want to and I would love being able to see them every day."
"I would like that to love so much. I just wish Declan would talk more about what is bothering him." Karen said.
"What do you think it could be?" Shane asked.
"Teenage boy stuff is my guess." Karen said her hand still in his hair.
"It's so weird to think there is gonna be 15 years between Declan and this little baby." Shane said once again placing his hand on her belly.
"I guess I never really thought of that. There will be a big age difference between this little peanut and the boys." Karen said looking at Shane as he smiled.
"You do know this little peanut is a boy right?"
"Oh so you think it's a boy huh?" She smiled.
"Oh I know he's a boy. The McMahon genes are strong for boys." He smiled pulling her into a kiss.
"What if it's a girl?" She smiled placing her forehead on his.
"If it's a girl I would be shocked and I will buy you anything you want." He chuckled kissing her again.
Karen giggled. "A new car?"
"I did say anything." He laughed kissing her again.
As they cuddled on the couch and continued to watch Smackdown live.
"I am glad you got to be here today." Karen told him.
"Me too. Stephanie and I did Raw last night but I said I had to be home today."
"Well thank you. It meant so much to have you hear."
"It meant the world to me too. To be able to hear our baby's heart beat for the first time. I needed that. I needed to hear that for myself. Look I know my schedule can be crazy but just know that I will always be here for you and the kids." Shane said.
"I know Shane. You are an amazing husband and father." She said holding his hand.
As Vince was now in the ring talking about the latest Smackdown live acquisition. Elias.
"Did you know Elias was moving to Smackdown live?" Karen asked.
"I wasn't sure. There was talk last night but nothing for sure and they are also going to be doing a wild card so supers stars can now cross brands. I think he talked about announcing that next week." Shane explained.
"Oh wont that be confusing?"
"I don't think so should work out just fine." Shane said as they turned their attention back do the TV.
"I just need everyone to silence their cell phones. Hold their applause and most importantly shut your mouths." Elias said as he stuck a few cords on his guitar.
When Roman Reign's theme began to play and he headed to the ring.
"Roman's on Smackdown now?" Karen asked sitting up and looking at Shane.
"I guess so. Seems that way with Jon gone I guess it makes sense to split Seth and Roman up. Just thought they were gonna move Seth." Shane explained not taking his eyes off the screen.
When Roman got to the ring he began to attack Elias. Then gave him a super man punch before turning his attention to Vince McMahon who was talking to him but watch on TV you could barely make out what he was saying. Then Roman punched Vince right in the face as he fell back into Elias.
"What the hell?" Shane growled.
"I can't believe he did that. What the hell is going on right now?" Karen asked as she knew things were about to go down. Shane wasn't going to let this go at all. It was now going to be Shane vs Roman and it was going to get personal.
Roman took the mic and looked right into the camera.
"I don't care what he says! Smackdown Live is my yard now!"
