August 2019

Karen had been on the road for over two hours. As she listened to the GPS for her next exit. She knew in her heart this last year had been plagued with mistake after mistake. Nothing was making sense to her. She didn't know who she was any more she was pushing people she cared about away. When she arrived she followed the parking attendants directions and parked her car. Karen got out of her car and headed to the entrance to PNC Field. She showed the attendant her ticket as they scanned it and another pointed her in direction that the medium size crowd was moving. She found the line she was looking for and she waited.

"Karen babe?" He said as he stood from the table and walked around pulling her into a hug.

"Hey Jon." She said trying to hold in her tears.

"What are you doing here? I mean not that I am not excited to see you but just a little surprised." Moxley said.

"I had to see you. I wanted to call you but I just wasn't sure if you even wanted to talk to me. I knew you were going to be here this weekend so this morning I just got in my car and drove." She sniffled.

"You drove from New York to Scranton?" He asked.

She just nodded. "Please do you think we could talk after your match? I really need a friend. I know I don't deserve it after the way I acted ..." She rambled.

"Of course I will always make time for you." He told her. "Let me just finish this signing."

She nodded. "Thank you."

Karen walked around and just watched Moxley interact with his fans and her heart melted when a little girl about the age of 5 came up to him.

"Hi Jon Moxley I am a huge fan." She giggled.

"Oh you are huh?" He smiled at the little fan. "How old are you."

"I am 5 years old." She smiled holding up her hand.

"WOW 5 huh? You are basically old enough to drive." He joked.

She just giggled at him as they paused for the picture. She whispered something to him which made him smile ear to ear.

Jon met with a few more fans before he was finally done. He then took Karen to the locker room area where they could be alone.

"Sorry that took longer than I thought. But I am here now please talk to me." Jon said pulling up a chair as they sat down.

"I screwed up Jon. I have become a person I hate." She admitted. "I pushed you and Roman away. He wont even look at me. You are mad at me and I have treated you like crap when all you have been honest with me. So please forgive me Jon."

"Karen there is nothing to forgive. I admit I was pissed when you ignored me but I get it. I wasn't there for you like I should have been I was in Japan for a few months. Didn't make me happy but I understand where you are coming from. But Roman what's the deal with that?" Moxley asked.

"He paid Dunn to be put in a feud with Shane. I guess they were working on some way to get me to go back to Roman? I don't know the details are fuzzy to me honestly. I am still trying to figure out what Roman was thinking. That's not like him at all." She said as Jon reached out and held her hand.

"Yeah that doesn't seem like something Uce would do." Moxley agreed.

"I just don't know what to do any more. I have really fucked things up. I remember what happened in Vegas. I guess I didn't want to think it was true but we did sleep together."

"We did Karen. I never meant to take advantage of you in any way."

"You didn't at all. But hey you helped me live out a bucket list item. Sleeping with the one and only Jon Moxley." She said giving him a half smile.

Mox chuckled. "Funny that is what you said to me that night."

"I know. I am so sorry that I pulled you into this mess that is my life. Shane is the only one I have ever been with besides you. I just that isn't the person I thought I would become cheating on my husband. I do love Shane I really do." Karen stated.

"But ..." Moxley asked.

"But what?" Karen asked.

"There is a but coming." He answered.

"I fear I made a mistake." She said softly.

"In marring him? In sleeping with me?" He asked.

"All of it." She said.

"The last three years have been something out of a story. I was a teaching living in Michigan living my little life. Until Roman walked into it. He came into my life and my whole world changed. I know I never treated Roman fairly for some reason I could never let my walls down around him like I could with Shane or that I can with you. I don't know why and I know that wasn't fair to him. So when he told me he was going to be a father I used that as an excuse to break up with him. I didn't feel the love for him that I did with Shane. For some reason is was easy with Shane at first. I guess because he had kids and we bonded. I don't know but I do love Shane and that is why I married him. But I fear it was a mistake because I wanted a marriage and a life he could offer me. But then when things weren't so easy and I wanted a baby he said no and it got hard and what did I do I ran to you. We slept together and it was amazing from what I gather. But with you things are just easier I can talk to you and joke. I don't have this fear of being to silly or saying the wrong things. I am a mess Jon Moxley my life is a mess and I have no idea what to do about it." Karen explained to him.

"First of all I am glad you remember how amazing it was. Second of all no one is perfect. But I have to ask does Shane know you are here?"

"Yes. We got into a huge fight last night. I told him I was coming to see you. He wanted me to stay and talk to him but I do what I do best and I just left." She said.

Moxley just nodded. "How are you feeling?"

"I am good. I ate a few snacks on the way down. I did get my glucose test back last week. She said I just need to watch what I eat but everything looks good. The baby is measuring at 28 weeks."

"Karen do you think there is a chance this baby could be mine?" He asked.

As Karen started to cry she shook her head yes.

"I wasn't on anything because I was trying to get pregnant. I didn't expect to sleep with you and my guess is you didn't use anything that night." She said.

Moxley just nodded.

"Jon I'm scared. I don't know what to do." She sniffled.

"Hey listen no matter what I am here for you. You are stronger than you give yourself credit for. No one is perfect but we will all just take this one step at a time. I know you are scared but I really think we need to tell Shane. He needs to know what is going on."

"I tried to tell him last night and that is why we got into a fight." Karen told him.

"What did you tell him?" He asked.

"I said we needed to talk. I told him that I was scared but that I needed to be honest with him that things aren't going that great any more. That I am unhappy and it could partly be because of the hormones or something. Then I tried to tell him about Vegas but he said he didn't want to hear it. He already knows that we kissed and that was enough and then he said that he didn't want me to see you any more. I told him that you were my friend and he couldn't tell me what to do."

"Oh babe. I am so sorry." Moxley said shaking his head.

"It's fine it's my fault. I betrayed him and I didn't live up to the vows of our marriage."

"This isn't your fault. No one is perfect. Look stay with me tonight please. Then we will think about what to do from here." Moxley offered.

Karen nodded in agreement.

"Moxley I don't know why you are so good to me."

"You deserve the world babe."

Thank You Guest , Lisee, Blaze, Jenna and jjd022980 for the reviews on the last chapter. Thank you so much for taking the time to review. I like hearing your feed back on the story.

I do want to say I am sorry if some are no longer enjoying this story. That was not my intent. I started this story for my own personal writing muse. I wasn't sure I was going to post it at all but there was an interest. I only had the first 15 or so chapters done and now I try to write when I can and update weekly. I just write and let the ideas flow. Again I am sorry if this isn't going the way you expect and are no longer enjoying this story. I ask that you still give it a chance if you would like. I wrote chapter 32 last night and since I had some time I thought I would post it today. So a bonus chapter. Thank you for the feed back so I can do better for you the readers. You deserve the very best stories so I will try to do better.

Please forgive any mistakes you may find. I do my best when editing but sometimes I do miss things.
