Halloween
A/N: Sorry, got mixed up with the files on the doc manager. Here is chapter 2!
"You two look… interesting." Punk tilted his head, looking on at his children standing at the door in their house on Halloween, "Are you dressed up as me?" Punk asked, looking on at Marty.
"Daddy, I'm Judy Hopps from Zootopia." Marty told him, "I took your bracelets, see." She pulled out Punk's handcuffs.
"Uh… no, let's not take them." Punk took them from her as Marty huffed, "We don't touch these." He reminded them both.
"I told her." Kaia nodded.
"And who are you?" Punk asked, looking at Kaia. AJ had taken control of the costumes this year.
"I'm cat in the hat obviously." Kaia said.
"Ahh, I see." Punk nodded, "Well these are pretty good costumes." He said. He took Halloween very seriously of course.
"Where is your costume?" Kaia asked.
"I'm in it." Punk nodded as Marty looked him up and down.
"What are you?" Marty questioned with confusion. He was dressed in a suit with a hat.
"I'm Clyde." Punk said.
"Who?" Marty questioned.
"Clyde the dog? From our TV show?" Kaia gasped.
"What part of this screams dog to you?" Punk asked them, "No, Clyde from… Bonnie and Clyde." He said as they both stared at him, "You know… killed thirteen people, robbed all those banks during the great depression…" He paused as he realised his children were three and five years old.
"He doesn't sound like a nice man." Kaia observed.
"I'll arrest you, Clyde!" Marty exclaimed, taking out her toy gun and pointing at him, "Hands behind your back!" She jumped up and down excitedly, "Is that what you say?" She wondered.
"It's on your head but… pretty good." He nodded to her as she smiled.
"Well what's mommy dressing up as?" Kaia questioned.
"Bonnie." Punk said.
"Oh were Bonnie and Clyde married?" Kaia asked.
"I'm not sure actually." Punk said as AJ walked down the stairs. She got her hands on the costume and loved it. She had a short blonde wig with a hat, as well as the fitting neck scarf and yellow jumper from the classic movie.
"Hey, you ready to go rob some banks, baby?" AJ smiled, wrapping her arms around Punk's neck, taking his hat off and giving him a kiss.
"Might be a little hard with Judy Hopps standing by." Punk nodded to Marty who was staring at them.
"That's true." AJ laughed to herself, "You guys look good." She smiled as they nodded.
"Can we hurry up and go trick or treating?" Kaia asked them as they nodded.
"Yeah but I need a picture of you both first." AJ said, heading through to the kitchen for her phone as they both huffed and rolled their eyes.
"And then we're going to the party." Punk reminded them.
"I love to party." Kaia jumped up and down.
"I don't." Marty shook her head as Punk laughed and nodded.
"Ok, picture time." AJ said, walking back into the hallway, "Ok, a smile would be good Marty." AJ nodded to her youngest daughter who pushed out a fake smile whilst AJ took a lot of pictures of them before they headed out.
Once trick or treating was done with, AJ and Punk headed to the party that Tony held every year in his huge house. It was pretty much the entire police station with other people. Seth was always invited too.
"This wig is itchy." AJ admitted, walking into the house with the girls by their side.
"You look good as a blonde." Punk smirked.
"Oh, yeah?" AJ asked, "So this is staying on for the rest of the night?" She wondered as he smirked and nodded.
"Hey, you made it." Tony appeared, "Oh, what do we have here? Did you dress up as your dad?" Tony crouched down to Marty and Kaia.
"Judy Hopps!" Marty exclaimed.
"Uh… is that someone we work with?" Tony looked up at Punk who shook his head.
"She's a cool bunny misses police woman." Marty explained.
"And I'm cat in the hat." Kaia said.
"Yeah, I like the hat." Tony nodded, "And what are your mom and dad?" Tony looked up.
"Bonnie and Clyde." Kaia answered, "They kill people and steal money." She nodded as Tony raised his eyebrows and nodded slowly.
"How does she know that?" AJ whispered to Punk.
"I… might have told them." Punk realised as AJ shook her head.
"Well hey, here is some candy." Tony reached over to the side table, "You guys get extra because your dad is my best worker."
"Oh." Kaia smiled excitedly, "Thank you." She nodded, taking the candy.
"Yeah, thanks." Marty added as Tony smiled.
"There's some other kids playing in the sitting room if you wanna go. They got some games." Tony said.
"Yeah, let's go!" Kaia exclaimed, grabbing her sister by the wrist and running off with her as AJ smiled.
"Oh, remember when we brought Marty when she was a baby and she was a pumpkin?" AJ frowned, turning to Punk, "They're so grown up." She sighed to herself.
"Nah, they're still babies." Punk assured her.
"Nice costumes." Tony nodded to them, "Ironic." He looked at Punk.
"Thought I'd be one of the bad guys for a change." Punk said, "What are you supposed to be?" He asked with confusion.
"I'm a caveman obviously." Tony scoffed.
"Cavemen wore jeans?" AJ questioned with confusion.
"Bonnie had the cat in the hat as a daughter?" Tony asked as AJ rolled her eyes, "Well come in, have fun, Seth and Becky are over… somewhere." He looked around the house as AJ and Punk smiled and nodded.
"A caveman?" AJ shook her head, turning to Punk once Tony disappeared.
"Apparently." Punk nodded, walking through the house to find Seth who they saw with his new wife. They appeared to be dressed up as two of the mutant ninja turtles which made Punk and AJ chuckled.
"Hey." Seth spotted them, "Who… what the hell are you guys meant to be?" He laughed, embracing them both whilst Becky did the same.
"We're Bonnie and Clyde." AJ said, adjusting her hat and taking out her toy gun.
"Oh." Seth nodded, "I see. Nice." He nodded.
"You look good as a blonde." Becky nodded.
"I think so too." Punk added as AJ smiled, "So how was the honeymoon?" He asked them.
They were both thrilled when Seth told them he and Becky, his long-term girlfriend were finally getting married after years of dating. The wedding was beautiful and it helped that both Punk and AJ got on so well with Becky. She had a beautiful personality and was so easy to get along with.
"It was amazing." Becky said as Seth nodded to Punk with raised his eyebrows. Punk nodded, knowing exactly what he was saying without having to hear the words, a private brother moment, "Are the girls here?" Becky asked them.
"Yeah, they wandered off to go play." AJ nodded, "Uh… Kaia is cat in the hat and Marty is Judy Hopps." AJ smiled.
"Oh, how sweet." Becky smiled.
"Marty is obsessed with that bunny." Seth chuckled to himself.
"I took pictures." AJ said, showing Becky the many pictures she'd taken whilst Seth and Punk wandered off to the kitchen for drinks.
"So it was good?" Punk smiled.
"Yeah, it was amazing." Seth nodded, "Didn't want to come home." He admitted.
"Weird when it's all over and done with, right?" Punk asked.
"Yeah, it's still hard to believe. Keep having to remind myself I'm married now." He laughed a little as Punk smiled, "You spoke to mom recently?"
"Well last was Friday when I picked Marty up. I don't know, she's been really quiet recently." Punk nodded, "Like something is on her mind."
"Really?" Seth asked, "I haven't noticed."
"Yeah. April was gonna take her out for coffee the other week but Kaia got sick and she had to stay at home with her." Punk said.
"What you think she's depressed or something?" Seth asked.
"Maybe, I don't know. She just seems different. Quieter." Punk nodded, "The other day I asked her if she wouldn't mind babysitting the girls for a night so me and Ape could have a night off somewhere." He said, "She looked like she wanted to say no." He admitted.
"Maybe it's getting too much for her. I know the girls are angels and they're barely hard work to take care of but… she isn't young anymore." Seth said.
"Yeah, I guess… it just seems like lately she's been distancing herself. Gotta be something on her mind. I know her." Punk said.
"Well hey, maybe we talk to her and check in, see if she's doing ok. She's too proud to tell us so we gotta get it out of her." Seth nodded.
"Yeah." Punk agreed, "Nice turtle costume, by the way." He nodded, "Remember we used to watch them on a Saturday morning? It was like a shitty cartoon version?" Punk asked.
"You're a lot older than me, buddy." Seth reminded him as Punk just shrugged, "Was Becky's idea. She loves all the movies."
"I love it." Punk smiled, suddenly hearing a loud bang, multiple loud bangs followed by glass shattering. He was a police officer and certain noises he knew exactly what they were and he knew that it was a gun being fired.
He immediately ran into large lounge to find AJ, "Hey… hey, you ok?" Punk pulled AJ into him.
"Where are the girls?" AJ asked whilst Seth got Becky. Just as Punk was about to rush to find the girls, there were more gun shots firing through the windows.
"Ok, get down." Punk pulled AJ down with him, crouching behind a table whilst Seth and Becky did the same.
"Everybody stay down!" Tony exclaimed.
"Phil, the girls." AJ cried, trying to stand up as Punk kept her down.
"You stay down." Punk warned her, "I'll go." He said, standing up straight, nodding to Tony who had already called the cops, ironically, at the station. Halloween was always a mischievous night for them as cops, but it was never something this personal and dangerous.
Punk made his way into the next lounge room where he saw Marty and Kaia sitting in the corner of the room. He put his hand out and told them to stay where they were. He didn't want them to run out and expose themselves in front of any potential danger.
"What the fuck is this?" Dean appeared behind Punk, "I fucking hate Halloween." He grumbled as Punk nodded.
"I don't think this is a Halloween thing. It seems a bit personal." Punk shook his head, walking out of the house and looking around the street whilst Tony and some other cops checked the back of the house and around the sides.
"That was a lot of fucking bullets." Dean nodded as they walked back into the house.
"Is everyone ok?" Punk called out to everyone who mostly were hiding behind and under things. It was never a nice sight to see. The windows were all broken with glass everywhere, "Anyone hurt?" Punk asked as everyone stood up whilst Tony appeared again.
"All clear out the back." Tony nodded, "The hell is going on? That was five gun shots. Could have been five people dead."
"Always a glass half empty." Dean scoffed.
"He is right." Punk nodded, "There's kids in here." Punk shook his head, walking past them and into the lounge where Marty and Kaia were.
"Daddy what's happening?" Kaia asked as Punk picked them both up and wandered back into the main lounge where AJ was waiting.
"Just a little accident." Punk told them, kissing them both on the cheek as he walked over to AJ who placed her hand on her heart with relief.
"My babies." AJ sighed as Punk put them down where AJ crouched down and squeezed them both, cupping the back of their heads as he sighed to himself.
"The hell is going on?" Seth walked over with Becky whilst AJ stayed crouched down, hugging the girls tightly.
"I have no idea." Punk shook his head.
