Chapter 3: Bonding

"Looks like it's just me and you tonight little man" Punk said sitting Christian on his chest as lie on the sofa.

AJ had gone out with some of the other divas on a girl's night out and since Punk was back home from traveling for a while she took up the offer. Punk also knew she deserved it too…being a stay at home mom couldn't be easy either.

"So little one…what do you want to do first, we got some toys here in your play pen or how bout some movie time with dad huh" Punk said smiling at his son.

Christian giggled and pulled on a strand of Punk's hair…it had grown out a bit. Punk had to admit between his job and his family his hair was the last thing on his mind. Though AJ did keep him in check in with his facial hair…it was all gone now.

"What if he tries to kiss you and gets a mouthful of beard" AJ said touching Punk's scruffy face.

Punk laughed at that small flashback of AJ handing him shaving cream and a razor. She even watched him shave it off and just like that it was all gone. It was like was when he and AJ first began dating…only difference his hair was longer, it was about the same length he had it when he first began on smackdown.

It was funny though every time Punk said he was cutting it off…AJ would always tell him no. She finally admitted that it made him all the more sexier.

"Hmm women" Punk thought to himself as Christian still tugged on his hair.

"Okay buddy…I think you've had enough hair pulling for one night" Punk laughed as he got the black hair tie from around his wrist and put his hair in a small ponytail.

"Alright you…let's pop this sucker in huh" Punk said with DVD in his hand.

"You're about to watch a masterpiece son" Punk said popping in the original Creature of the black lagoon.

"Dada" Christian mumbled out as he watched Punk pushing the play button.

"Bonding officially starts now" Punk replied sitting Christian by his side.

"I just can't get over how cute Punk and Christ look together "Kaitlyn said with a huge smile on her face

"I totally agree…Punk is just an awesome father AJ you got lucky" Alicia Fox added taking a sip of her drink.

"He is guys…he's just amazing every time I see Punk and Chris I know how lucky I am too have two awesome guys" AJ replied blushing a little bit

"So how have things been between you and Punk" Alicia asked softly

"Things are amazing…you know I never thought I would be able to forgive Punk for well we all know what he did…but his actions over time have shown he truly was sorry and loved me and his son" AJ replied sipping her soda.

"I'm so happy for you two…you guys are proof that real love can overcome anything" Kaitlyn said lifting up her soda she proposed a toast.

"To Punk and AJ…oh and of course that little angel of yours" Kaitlyn said with a smile

"Thanks you guys…you're the best" AJ said with a smile as she toasted to her family.

"Quitter" Punk whispered seeing his son fast asleep by his side.

Punk smiled and gently picked up his son to carry him to his crib. Punk quietly shut off the movie and made his way upstairs. Punk gently placed his son in his crib and acted like a stealth ninja headed to the door of the room so he would wake his son.

Just as Punk was about to turn shut the door…his pain hit again but this time it came with an uncontrollable cough. For some reason the cough just wouldn't let up…then the last thing Punk wanted his coughing woke of Chris making him cry from being awoken.

Punk cried out in pain as he held the area where the pain shot through…on his hands and knees Punk tried to crawl to his crying son. Punk felt like he was short of breath and as if he was choking…Punk placed his hand over his mouth to muffle the sound of his harsh coughing.

Christian was crying as Punk tried his best to stand up…but his legs just wouldn't work. Still on his knees Punk felt wetness on his hand from where he was covering his mouth. Punk looked at his hand to see blood on it…Punk froze in fear.

Punk quickly snapped out of hit and finally stood on his feet picking up his crying son…trying his best to comfort him. Punk sat in the rocking chair in his room and held him close like as Christian was going to help make the pain go away. Punk's coughing was still happening but not as bad as before…Punk knew something was wrong…and he knew now it was getting worse.

After a few minutes of rocking Christian Punk had looked down to see he had fallen asleep. Punk let out a sigh of relief he felt awful being in that position with his son looking on.

"Dad's really sorry about that little man" Punk whispered as he gently placed Christian back in his crib.

Punk was dragging as he made his way to his and AJ's bedroom…Punk felt so tired. Punk through himself on the bed and quickly fell fast asleep.
