February 2019 - Las Vegas.

"Hey Babe? You alright in there?" Moxley asked knocking on his bathroom door.

"Yeah." She mumbled.

Jon opened the door and slowly walked in to see a still half drunk Karen laying on the bathroom floor in a pair of shorts and her sports bra.

"One to many shots huh?" He said getting a cloth wet and putting it on her head.

"Seemed like a good idea at the time." She reasoned.

"Here." He said handing her some mouth wash.

She rinsed her mouth out and slowly stood up.

"Come here babe." He said scooping her up in his arms and carrying her to his bedroom.

"You know if I wasn't half drunk, half hung over or married this would be kind of romantic." She said laying her head on him.

Jon smiled looking at her trying to keep it together as he sat her on his bed. He handed her a glass of water. Karen took a drink as she looked around his room.

"Comfy bed." She said.

"It is really comfy." He smiled. "You feeling any better?"

"Yeah a little. Thanks again for letting me crash here. I really didn't want to go back to the hotel with Terri and Kristi they were a little much for me at the bar. They needed to be alone." She said wiggling her eye brows.

"Any time Karen." He said as he sat up in the bed leaning against the backboard.

"You really are an amazing guy you know that." Karen said sitting back on the bed coping him.

"I'm just me." He stated looking at her.

"Well you are amazing Jon. You deserve the world and all the happiness. I know Vince, Hunter and Shane are trying to get you to stay in WWE." Karen told him.

"They are. They handed me another contract last week." He stated.

"More money? Creative control?" She asked him moving closer to him.

"I don't know." Jon said as he naturally wrapped his arm around her as she laid her head on his chest.

"What do you mean you don't know?" She questioned feeling safe and comfortable in his arms.

"I never looked at it. I said thank you but no thank you. I made my choice I am leaving when my contract is up."

"I know you have to do what is best for you. You've been so unhappy with your character and I have tried to talk to Vince about it but he likes what he likes. I wish he would give more control creatively to Shane and Hunter. I am sorry you've been so miserable. I know WWE was your dream and it turned out to be a nightmare." Karen said placing her hands on his chest.

"I've tried to make the best of it. I mean I bought an amazing house , my truck is paid off I love my dog. But somethings missing not just with my career but my life." He told her.

"Like what Mox?" She smiled looking up into his blue eyes.

"I want to go to Japan! I want to be apart of New Japan Pro Wrestling they are doing a lot of amazing things. I want to compete in the G1 and test my limits be the wrestler I know I can be. Hell go to a VFW hall and kick some rookies ass. Just wrestle and be free creatively to toss out ideas. I talked with Jericho the other day and maybe I will sign a deal with AEW." He explained.

"I know you would do amazing things in New Japan. The G1 is no joke. If you choose to sign with AEW don't let them control you the way Vince has please. I am not saying Cody or the Bucks even Tony would do that. But just make sure you have that control to be the Moxley you want to be and not their version please." Karen told him her hand resting on his chest as they cuddled.

"You are an amazing woman Karen. You wouldn't be mad if I signed with AEW?" He asked looking down at her.

"No I wouldn't be mad. I would be sad because I wont get to see you all the time or see you wrestle any more live. I know I wouldn't be able to go to an AEW event. But I love you Jon you know that and I just want to see you happy and wrestler the way you want. If New Japan and AEW can give you that then I support you no matter what." Karen smiled up at him.

"Thank you that means a lot to me. You supporting me no matter what."

"Of course that's what friends , best friends do for one another. I am not gonna lie it will suck having you across the world but I want you happy and I support you. But besides New Japan and maybe AEW what more does Jon Moxley want?" She giggled.

"That could be a loaded question but I would like to have a more personal intimate relationship. One night stands are great and I even called my booty call tonight and she was heading over her but I called her back and told her never mind." He explained.

"Why? I mean I could take a Uber back to the hotel if you want to be alone with her." Karen offered.

"That's just it Karen I don't want that. I don't want her. She is just a someone to scratch an inch I want something more. I want someone more."

"You will find that person Jon. I know it you are to amazing of a guy any woman would be lucky to call you hers." Karen told him kissing his cheek.

"What if I already have?" He asked softly.

Jon looked deep into her eyes and pulled her into a deep passionate kiss taking her breath away as she moaned a little. Jon then took that moment to shove his tongue in her mouth as his tongue fought hers for dominance.

"mmm Jon .. I.. can't we can't." She said breathlessly in between kisses.

"shhh." Jon said kissing her again.

"Jon you know I love you but this … can't happen I am happily married to Shane. I can't do this to him." She said as their lips met again.

"Karen listen to me and really hear what I am going to say to you. You are to good for Shane McMahon. I know Roman hurt you but Shane? He doesn't deserve you. Roman you know he's my brother but I was jealous that he met you first." Jon told her opening up to her.

"What?" Karen asked looking up at Jon.

"I care about you Karen so much. You are one of my best friends. I love you and it pisses me off seeing how Shane treats you. When you broke up with Roman I understood I got it. I wanted to make a move but I couldn't do that to my best friend. I know Roman still loves you but I have fallen for you too. I want you Karen all of you." Jon told her as he pulled her into a deep passionate kiss. He laid her softly on the bed and started kissing her neck. "Please Karen let me love you."

Karen stared into his blue eyes and got lost in the moment. She knew in her head that this was wrong. She shouldn't do this but something about Jon made it feel so right. She wrapped her arms around him as they once again started making out. As Jon took his time kissing down her body savoring her soft skin and taste. He stripped her remaining clothes off as she stared at him as he tossed off his gym shorts. He climbed on top of her as their eyes were locked onto one another. As they began to make love their eyes stayed on each other. Both feeling this connection with the other. The world around them melted away nothing matter in those moments.

August 2019

"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Jon asked Karen as he walked her to her car.

"Yeah I'm sure. Thank you. I need to do this on my own. I have to tell Shane the truth he needs to know. You just get better. Call me before your surgery please." Karen said.

"You know I will babe. Look if things get to intense you get on that plane and come to Vegas." Jon told her.

"I will be fine. But you need to worry about getting rid of this infection. I know you aren't happy but I need you well. The world needs Jon Moxley well." She told him.

"I've got the surgery scheduled for this week. I will get it taken care of promise. But you sure you can drive all that way alone? You were a little dizzy this morning." He said concerned.

"Yes I will be fine. I got some snacks for the road and we just had a big breakfast. Jon listen thank you for last night for listening to me. I needed to talk to you before I talked with Shane."

"Of course Karen always. Look I meant what I said to you last night so please think about it." Jon told her as he kissed her lips softly.

"I will Jon. I will talk to you in a few days." Karen said as she got into her car put her seat belt on and drove away.

Jon stood there and watched her drive away until her car wasn't insight any more. Then he got his stuff and headed to the airport and back to Vegas. He was diagnosed with a MSRA staph infection once again in his elbow. He wasn't happy about it but Karen made it bearable as last night they spent most of the night talking about everything going on in their lives. Karen told him better now that before AEW goes live. She always had a way of turning a cloudy day for him into sunshine.

Several Hours later – New York.

Karen got back home she sat in her car a few minutes. She knew in her heart it was now or never. She took a few deep breathes grabbed her stuff and headed inside. The house was really quiet. She looked around for the boys but didn't see or hear them.

"Declan? Kenyon? Rogan? You boys here? Shane?" She called to anyone who maybe home.

"The boys are still with Marissa. She wanted to take them to see her parents for a few days." Shane said coming into the living room where Karen was.

"Oh OK." She said softly.

"You went to see Moxley huh?" Shane asked.

"I did. I know you aren't happy about it but it's just something I needed to do." Karen told him.

"Why? Karen what is going on with you lately? I love you so much but I know something is bothering you and it pisses me off you wont talk to me about it."

"Shane I'm sorry. I know this isn't fair to you but I needed to talk to Jon before I talked to you. I am ready to talk if you are." Karen said.

"Yes I want to talk to my wife the woman I fell in love with. I am worried about you Karen and our daughter." Shane said taking her hand.

"Shane please know that I love you so much. You brought me out of this dark hole I was living in. So please please know that what I am about to tell you is not because I don't love you or that I meant to hurt you because I never wanted to do any of those things." She said in tears.

"Breathe sweet heart just tell me what is going on." Shane said rubbing her hand worried about her.

"I slept with Jon." She sniffled out.

"What?" He asked looking at his wife knowing there is no way he could have heard her correctly.

"When I was in Vegas back in February. I never meant for it to happen. I love you Shane I really do. I was drunk and we went back to his place and it happened. All I can do know is say I am sorry." She said in tears.

"I know you kissed him but I didn't think you would sleep with him? Karen what the hell? That isn't who you are? You are not a whore. So what the hell happened?" He said in anger as his heart broke hearing that his wife had been with another man and Jon Moxley of all people.

"I don't know. I wish I knew Shane. I know I am a shitty person I know that. I was drunk and I didn't even remember sleeping with him until he told me. Then it took a few weeks for me to piece together what happened. I mean it's still fuzzy but I do remember. I am so so sorry."

"He told you he slept with you? You got so drunk you don't remember? Why in the hell did he tell you then?" Shane asked even more upset and hurt.

"Because he's think that Gracie could be his." Karen said in tears placing her hand on her baby bump.

"Do you think she is?" Shane asked.

"I don't know. It's close if you do the math. I mean we were trying so hard to get pregnant."

"Get out!" Shane growled.

"Shane please …." She sniffled.

"No get the hell out of my house. I can't even look at you right now." Shane growled.

"Shane please just don't do this please." She pleaded tears streaming down her face.

"Karen please just get out before I do or say something I will regret."

"I love you Shane know that you have my heart and I never meant for any of this to happen." She said still in tears as she grabbed her bag and walked out of their home.

Shane was so mad and hurt that he grabbed the first thing he could which happened to be a vase of flowers and threw them across the room.

Karen sat in her car tears streaming down her face. When her phone started to go off as she looked down there was a picture of Moxley he was calling her.

She didn't know what was going to happen next all she knew was that she needed to fix the mess that was now her life not only for herself but for her unborn daughter.
