"AJ, wake up." CM Punk said as he gingerly shook the petite girl's shoulders. AJ immediately shot up out of Punk's bed.

"Oh my God! What time is it?" She asked frantically, grabbing fists of her hair. "Daniel is going to kill me." She whimpered as tears started to fall down her cheeks. Punk went into panic mode again.

"Hey, hey. Calm down." He said sitting down beside her. "It's not even midnight yet. You didn't spend the night." Punk comforted and that seemed to calm the distressed diva for a moment. She wiped her tears away and took a deep breath to calm her nerves

"D-did you get the tests?" AJ asked, stumbling on her words due to the growing nervousness she was feeling.

"Yeah. I got three. Is that okay?" The straight edge asked her as he handed AJ the grocery bag they were in.

"That's perfect. Thank you." She replied kindly. He's being so nice about all of this, she thought to herself. AJ then stood up on shaking legs and headed to the small bathroom.

"Do you want me to come in there with you?" Punk asked curiously, but out of comforting senses.

"No, that's okay. I'd rather do the honors alone." AJ said, trying to joke lightly about this situation. Punk merely let out a strange chuckle. It didn't fit right with the moment.

"I'll wait out here then." He answered.

AJ was so nervous that her hands were shaking. Her heart felt like it would jump out if her chest at any moment. She already sort of knew that she in fact, was pregnant but taking these tests would just be a confirmation of reality. The tests would tell her that this is real, and AJ would be a mother. This is it, she thought sadly. I could be a mom.

The spitfire then took the box of tests out of the bag and threw it in the trash. With trembling hands she tore open the box of tests, spilling the three pregnancy tests all over the bathroom floor.

"Dammit." The diva cursed as she bent over to pick the tests up.

"Everything okay in there?" Punk asked through the closed door.

"Y-yeah." AJ answered. She steadied herself by taking in a few breaths, and then AJ took all three tests. Once she was finished, she unlocked the bathroom door and peeked out. "You can come in now." She told CM Punk. Punk nodded and walked in.

"Did you take them?" He asked. AJ nodded and pointed to the sink where all three tests were neatly laid out.

"We have to wait five minutes and then we'll know." AJ said. CM Punk only nodded as he watched her. She was standing there, nervous as hell. He needed to find a way to calm her.

"Do you need anything?" He asked her, trying to be as much support as he could. AJ looked like she was about to say something but then stopped.

"Nevermind." She said quietly.

"What?" He asked her. She then began to play with her hair.

"I know this is weird of me to ask, but could you hold me?" The brunette asked hesitantly. Punk was a little taken by surprise but he happily agreed.

"Of course AJ." He said then embraced her petite frame into his tattooed arms. AJ immediately felt better. Punk's touch had calmed her down a lot. She buried her head into his chest and relaxed, letting his masculine scent take over her. So this is what love feels like, AJ thought. She hadn't felt this much care from Daniel, not ever.

Punk kept her calm by stroking her long brunette hair, and whispering sweet nothings to her.

"Thank you." AJ said. "So much." She continued as she pulled away. "I feel better now."

"It's nothing." Punk replied.

"It's time. Will you look?" AJ asked, referring to the pregnancy tests. The straight edge nodded and AJ held her breath as Punk turned around to check the tests. Oh God. This is really happening, AJ thought.

"You want me to tell you?" He asked her.

"Please?"

"They're all positive." CM Punk revealed and AJ put a hand over her chest.

"Really?" She asked tearing up.

"Come look." Punk said waving her over and AJ followed his instructions. She walked over to the sink and looked down at the tests. Sure enough, all three read yes.

"Oh God." She whispered, a hand over her mouth as tears crawled down her cheeks. "No, no, no." She continued barely audible. Punk ran a hand through his hair.

"Please don't cry. I hate it when you cry. Everything will be okay." CM Punk said, trying to soothe the diva. "We'll make things work." AJ nodded and wiped her tears.

"Where d-do we go from here?" She asked. Punk sighed.

"Well you need to go to the doctor. I'll take you, only if you want." Punk said and AJ nodded.

"Okay."

"What about Daniel?" The straight edge asked carefully, knowing he was pushing his limits. AJ sighed loudly and ran a hand through her hair. I forgot about him again? Damn, she thought.

"I just need time to think Punk." AJ said.

"I'll take care of you AJ, and our baby." Punk replied, hoping he could convince AJ to leave Daniel.

"I know you would Punk, but I just need time. Okay?" After all, I'm supposed to love Daniel right? But Daniel's behavior had changed so much over recent time that he was a stranger to AJ.

"Take all the time you need, but I'll be waiting." CM Punk said as AJ had started to leave. The diva hoped that Daniel would be asleep by now.


Later that night CM Punk lay in his bed thinking about AJ and his future. They could be a family. He and AJ, and their newborn son or daughter. Punk just hoped that AJ would have him. We could be together, raise our kid, and I would be the best damn dad in the world. Better than my father at least, Punk thought. Maybe I'd even be able to put a ring on her finger.

He laid in bed thinking those kind of thoughts for hours. He so desperately wanted to be with AJ, but there was one thing he would never be able to admit to himself. I am in love with AJ.
