Moved On
"Good morning." AJ smiled, tracing her finger down Punk's chin, her leg wrapped around his body as she watched him wake up dreamily.
"Morning." Punk smiled sleepily, kissing her nose and stretching a little.
"I was hoping you'd wake up a little earlier." She smiled, her hand going under the covers, down his chest towards his lower region as he laughed a little, barely having woken up yet.
"You didn't get enough last night?" Punk asked her as she shook her head and bit her lip.
"I can never get enough of you." AJ smiled, kissing his neck as she began to stroke him up and down, straddling herself over him, pulling the covers over them as she kissed him softly, smiling against the kiss as she felt him pushing her panties to the side.
She was about to reach behind and unclasp her bra when she heard running towards their door.
"Mommy!"
Punk immediately pushed AJ off of him as she collapsed back on her side of the bed, adjusting her underwear and t-shirt as she watched the door open.
"Mommy." The three year old whined, toddling into the bedroom in her pyjamas with messy bed hair, dragging her monkey along the floor by one of his long arms.
"What, baby?" AJ asked, sitting up against the headboard as the three year old girl climbed up onto the bed, situating herself in between her parents as Punk looked at her.
"Can I help you?" Punk asked, "It's too early. Why are you awake?" He asked her.
"Why are you awake?" She replied childishly as Punk just scoffed, "I'm hungry." She looked up at her mother as AJ played with her hair and nodded.
"What do you want for breakfast?" AJ asked her.
"Uh… pancakes." She nodded.
"How about some cereal?" Punk looked up at her as the three year old placed her small hand over his mouth immediately, causing Punk to chuckle against it as AJ smiled.
"Bad daddy, I don't want cereal." She made herself clear.
"Ok, you don't have to smother me." Punk laughed as AJ smiled, "Mommy teaching you some things behind closed doors?" He smirked up at AJ who rolled her eyes.
"No, we don't lift our hands to anyone." AJ took her daughter's hand in hers, "Right?" She said as the three year old nodded immediately.
"Well… unless anyone tries to hurt you." Punk said, "Or if anyone hurts your feelings-"
"No, absolutely not." AJ disagreed, "Only if you're in real danger." AJ said, specifically looking at Punk.
"What if someone makes her upset. She can't slap them?" Punk asked AJ as the three year old looked back and forth between her parents, sitting in between them.
"No, she can't." AJ said, "That's not how we deal with problems around here." AJ made clear.
"If her feelings are really, really hurt." Punk nodded.
"Phil." AJ warned.
"I'm still hungry!" The three year old exclaimed as Punk nodded.
"Go for a shower, I'll get them." Punk nodded to AJ.
"You sure?" AJ flicked his chin as Punk nodded.
"Yeah." Punk nodded, "Mommy stinks she needs a shower." He nodded as the three year old giggled and looked up at AJ.
"Always a joker, Phil Brooks." AJ hummed, getting out of bed as Punk smiled and watched her.
"I wasn't joking." He teased, watching her disappear into their on-suite bathroom. He rubbed his face tiredly and sat up, sitting on the edge of the bed as he felt little arms curl around his neck, feeling his daughter attach herself to his back like a bear cub.
"Take me downstairs." She said as Punk laughed.
"I'm not a cab." Punk said.
"You're my cab." She smiled, giving the back of his head a few kisses as Punk chuckled a little.
"Is your sister awake?" Punk asked her, standing up from the bed, holding her onto his back as she clung around his neck.
"I think so." She nodded as Punk walked downstairs with her, heading through to the kitchen where his eldest daughter was sat at the table already eating her cereal with headphones on playing on her switch.
"Raims." Punk clicked his finger as it appeared she didn't even notice they were there, "Raimy." Punk said a little louder as he put his youngest daughter down on her feet, who ran over to her big sister and pulled her headphones off.
"Hey." Raimy moaned a little, "Vivian, what are you doing?" She snatched the headphones back from her.
"I'm saying good morning." Vivian said, who was three years old, short and ready to fight anyone. The girls both took their looks and attitude from their mother respectfully, although Raimy was a lot more like Punk in ways. Raimy was six and very uninterested in her sister, of course.
"Good morning." Raimy replied, putting her headphones back on as Vivian folded her arms.
"Daddy, she's being mean." Vivian said, sitting up on the chair at the table whilst Raimy went back to playing her game.
"She's not hurting anyone." Punk waved his hand, "Cereal?" He asked her.
"Pancakes." Vivian corrected him.
"Right." Punk rolled his eyes. Although it was challenging at times, there was nothing he loved more than being a dad to his girls. They brought so much joy to him and AJ and he felt like being their father really gave him a purpose to do good and be there for them. He was very protective of them both as he viewed them still as his babies, even though they weren't quite babies anymore.
"With chocolate chips." Vivian nodded as Punk got the cooking pan out.
"I don't think we got chips, babe." Punk shook his head as Vivian frowned and slouched on the table with disappointment, "Banana pancakes? I can do them."
"No, I didn't like them." Vivian said, "Just normal ones then." She shrugged.
"Ok." Punk nodded, "Raims." He tapped Raimy on the shoulder who slid her headphones on and looked up, "You want some pancakes?"
"No, I'm fine thanks." Raimy said politely as Punk cupped the back of her head softly and nodded.
"Who wouldn't want pancakes?" Vivian exclaimed with concern as Raimy put her headphones back on.
Although they both looked like one another and at times acted like one another, they were both very different little girls and in a way Punk was glad because it separated them and made them stand out in their own unique ways.
Life had been sweet ever since they moved to Virginia and started a clean slate. They had become a family that they always wanted to become and he had never felt closer to his wife than what he was when raising their two daughters.
"I need the syrup." Vivian nodded to herself, getting off her chair and sliding it over a little, standing up on it and opening up the cupboard door which she couldn't reach on her own.
"Viv, I told you to stop climbing up on the chair to get things." Punk turned around as Vivian quickly got the syrup and got down from the chair, as though if she sped things up, he wouldn't have been able to see her.
"I wasn't up there." Vivian chuckled, sliding her chair back over and sitting the syrup on the table as Punk just shook his head and smiled.
After Raimy turned three they had decided to start trying for another baby. It was AJ who was really itching for another one and Punk wasn't against the idea either. It was nice for them to experience their second child's birth together and in a normal way.
"Keep pushing." The doctor nodded in the delivery room whilst AJ was sat up giving birth to their second child, Punk standing beside and holding her hand to encourage her the best he could. The first time around she wasn't conscious to feel most of the pain, and so this was pretty much all new to her.
"I am pushing." AJ whimpered a little, "The head is out, right?" She nodded, sitting back and wiping her forehead.
"N-No." The doctor shook her head as AJ cried a little and rolled her head back, feeling like she had been pushing for years even though it had only been minutes.
"Ok, come on." Punk nodded, "You can do this." He kissed her head, "After three ok?" He said as she nodded, giving her all as she pushed again, her body shaking as she pushed as hard as she could.
"That's it." The doctor nodded, "Good. Well done, April." She nodded, happy with the better progress as AJ collapsed back against the bed.
Punk kissed her hand as she breathed heavily and panted, sitting back up to push again.
It didn't take long until she had ran out of baby to push and was rewarded by their screaming baby girl placed on her chest as she sat back and cried. This was the exact moment she wasn't afforded to have with Raimy, and it was such a precious, proud and emotional moment for both of them.
"Congratulations." The doctor smiled as Punk leaned forward, looking on at the baby girl on AJ's chest, so beautiful and perfect.
"Oh my God." AJ sobbed, looking down at the baby girl, feeling her close against her chest as Punk smiled, kissing AJ's cheek before looking back down at their second daughter.
"I'll get her cleaned up for you." The doctor smiled, taking the baby girl once AJ and Punk had a few minutes with her, cleaning her up quickly before returning with her wrapped up, "She's beautiful." The doctor smiled, placing the baby girl back in AJ's ready arms.
"She is." AJ nodded, never experiencing a moment quite like it. Meeting their baby girl and having the time to enjoy the moment was such a blessing.
"She's like Raimy." Punk noticed, seeing similarities between their youngest daughter and their three year old daughter.
"She's perfect." AJ shook her head as Punk smiled, leaning down and kissing AJ softly on the lips as she kissed back.
"Do we have a name?" The doctor asked pleasantly.
"Uh yeah." AJ nodded, coming out of her daze, "Vivian Brooks." AJ said, having discussed names together beforehand and settled on a name for each gender.
"Beautiful." The doctor smiled as AJ nodded, looking back down at their baby girl who was quietening down and looking up at her. Her heart was so full with love and pride upon their growing family they were taking care of.
"I love you." Punk smiled.
"I love you." AJ said, looking down at Vivian and smiling.
"Mmm, they're good." AJ smiled, taking a pancake and eating it whilst co making Raimy's lunch for school with Punk.
"I got them out at the right time." Punk nodded, "Raims, apple or banana?" He asked the six year old who had put her game away and was putting her converse on.
"Apple please." Raimy said.
"Are you sure?" AJ asked her, "Don't you have a wobbly tooth?" She asked as Raimy shook her head.
"That was a false alarm." Raimy concluded.
"I see." AJ smiled, watching her tie her converse laces. She was so proud of both her daughter's. They brought her so much happiness and had really turned her life around with Punk. She never thought a life like this could be possible, but now she hoped for it forever.
"You taking her?" Punk asked AJ who nodded.
"Yeah, I should get to the office." AJ nodded.
"Such a businesswoman." Punk smirked as she smiled and nodded.
"You love it." AJ smiled, discreetly squeezing his ass as he chuckled and nodded.
"I do. I'm a proud husband. Two gorgeous kids. Wife who has her own company." He said.
"It's not a company it's… an organisation." She shrugged modestly.
"It's amazing." Punk corrected, kissing her cheek, "And you should be proud of yourself." He said as she smiled. He was so supportive, she'd never know anything like it, "I'm going into work around 12 so I'll drop Viv off at the office, is that ok?" He asked her.
"Yeah, make sure she brings some books or toys or something. She always gets bored." She said as Punk nodded. AJ's job afforded Vivian to come with her if needed be.
"Ok." Punk nodded.
"Ok, baby. We good to go?" She asked Raimy who nodded.
"Yeah, I'm ready." She said, taking her backpack from the table and putting her arms through the loops.
"Have a good day, ok?" Punk nodded, crouching down and giving her a hug as she hugged back, "I love you." He said, kissing her cheek.
"Love you." Raimy said as AJ smiled.
"Ok, let's go." AJ nodded, turning around to Punk, "I'll see you later." She said, kissing him sweetly as he kissed back, "And I'll see you soon." AJ said, walking over to Vivian who was sat eating her breakfast at the table.
AJ wrapped her arms around her from behind, kissing her head as Vivian smiled.
"Bye, mommy." Vivian smiled sweetly before AJ left the kitchen and headed out to drop Raimy at school and head to work.
"Now I can play Raimy's game." Vivian smirked, pulling the switch over as Punk turned around.
"You know you should ask her before playing it." Punk nodded.
"Shh, it's ok." Vivian nodded, enjoying her pancakes and turning the game on as Punk just shook his head.
