I like how Punk did that Taken line at the end. "I will find whoever you are and kill you" I have a lot of suspects that is calling Punk. Glad to see John being able to walk again. But this story is going to get sad as hell soon. I can feel it!
Congrats and please keep on reviewing!
Chapter 4-Wedding Part 2
Together all the girls and their daughters made their way downstairs. At the bottom of the stairs was John patiently waiting to give AJ Punk's present. "Oh my god John you look so handsome," AJ said giving him a hug. Even after all these years, John was still one of her best friends.
"Thanks and you look beautiful AJ. Punk sure is a lucky guy to still have you all these years, Heck any man in the world would love to be in his position right now," John smiled as he tried to keep his emotions in check. He still loved her after all, but learned to keep them at bay.
AJ grabbed his hand and gave it a light squeeze, "Don't worry John I'm sure you'll find that special someone soon. I mean look at you, you're great with kids, you're a nice caring man, and you love everyone around you. You're the perfect package John."
John just shrugged his shoulders, "Well I don't know about that, but I will take your word for it. Anyways, the reason why I am here is that Punk wanted me to give this to you." He reached into his pocket and pulled out the jewelry box and gave it to her.
AJ quickly opened it up and when she saw what was inside, her eyes lit up, "Oh my, it's beautiful." She pulled out the necklace that Punk had given her. The necklace with a charm that was gold and shaped like a heart and along the right edge was all of their birthstones.
"That's what I said, but Punk is freaking out about it. He is afraid that Trey's birthstone will change and the necklace will be ruined," John told her as he put it on her neck.
"No it's perfect, I love it," AJ said with tears in her eyes. Just then Alberto came up to the two, "Hi dad, you look nice."
Alberto smiled at his daughter, "Gracias mi hija, I hate to break this up, but we are ready to start." The music had already started to play and the couples started to line up.
AJ nodded and gave John one last hug before she went off with Alberto. "Thank you for all of this dad, I mean it. You make mom happy, you're an awesome dad to me and Antonio, and you have done so much for me, Phil, and the kids," she told her stepdad with pure raw emotion.
"I do those things because I love you guys. You know that I never had a real family growing up in Mexico, but when I started to think about having a family that I would do anything for them in order to see them happy. You, your mom, Antonio, Phil and the niño's are that family now. You and Phil don't owe me a thing as long as you're happy," Alberto said sincerely.
"We are happy dad, more now than ever. Even after all the bad that we have gone through, we were able to see a bright and happy future that waited for us. I can't imagine any other life without Phil or the kids," she said rubbing her pregnant belly. She loved her life.
Alberto just smiled and took her arm Alberto just Smiled and took her arm
"Well then, let's go get the rest of your happy ending mi hija. The wedding is starting."
The wedding...
Waiting at the other end of the alter for his bride was Punk and he started to get he heard the wedding music that they had picked out starting to play. "Calm down son, she isn't going anywhere," Shawn said trying to calm the nervous groom down.
"I can't help it Shawn, I've been waiting a long time for this moment," Punk said anxiously as the wedding party began to walk down the aisle.
First the best man and maid of honor Dean and Kaitlyn were the first to make their way down the aisle. They chatted a bit about how nervous Punk looked and how happy they were for their friends. Next Kofi and Layla made their way down the aisle and had the same feelings as their friends ahead of them. After the groomsman and bridesmaid finished their walk, it was time for the cutest part of the wedding, the kids. Jack-Jack had appeared first with a big smile on his face as he looked at his dad and right behind him was the wagon that he was pulling that contained Antonio and Ava who were also happy that they were in wedding. As they made their way down the aisle, everyone was gushing at how cute they were. Once they got to the alter, Dean took the rings from Antonio and Eve came up to get her son and grandkids. Finally it was the moment that everyone was waiting for, the bride was about to walk down the aisle.
The music quickly changed and everyone turned to look at the wooden doors at the beginning of the aisle and watched as they opened up revealing Alberto and AJ. Everyone gasped at how beautiful she looked. As AJ looked at all of the guests and recognized a few faces including Seth and Kelly with their two year old son Seth Jr. sitting in Seth's lap. Finally AJ made eye contact with the man that would be her husband. He looked so handsome in his all black suit and from what she could see, he was even crying a little bit too.
Finally they stopped in front of the alter and Shawn spoke up, "Who gives this woman to be wedded to this man?"
"Her mother and I do," Alberto replied before giving AJ's hand to Punk. "You better continue to take good care of her and the niño's too," he told Punk.
"Don't worry sir, I will it the day that I die," he told his soon to be father in love with respect as he walked AJ up to the alter. "You look beautiful Princess," he then told his bride to be. She looked like an angel in his eyes right now.
AJ just blushed at his comment, "Thank you Punky and you look handsome too."
It was at that moment that Shawn cleared his throat and whispered, "I agree, you both look nice, but can I please continue?" AJ and Punk turned red and nodded their heads. "Okay then, ladies and gentleman, friends and family, we are gathered here today to join April and Phil in marriage. Today is only one moment in their lives that will be remembered and cherished forever. In all the years that they have been together, they have endured some things that we could never possibly imagine. Nevertheless, they stuck it out together and fought through the bad times so that they could enjoy the good ones. Together they have created a wonderful life with two kids and another one on the way. Now with only one final goal left, April and Phil have chosen to be joined together in the ultimate achievement of marriage. At this time the bride and groom have prepared their own vows to share with us today. Phil, would you like to go first?"
"Uh ya sure," he said nervously as he took a piece of paper out of his pocket and unfolded it. Clearing his throat, Punk read what was on the paper in his shaking hands, "April, for the past three weeks ever since we decided to write our own vows, I have struggled with what I wanted to say. Not because I didn't know what to say, but because I don't know how to say it. So I thought back to when we were first together and what you have taught me about love and this is what I came up with…
Once there was a time love was just a myth
It just wasn't for real, didn't exist
Till the day you came into my life
You forced me to think twice
I didn't have too much, no I wasn't rich
Gave me belief someday I'd be more than this
That's why until this day I'm still your man
Cause you made me understand that
Love is kisses in a bean bag chair
The two of us but no one there
Love is the moment that I climb the stairs
To hold you in my arms after we make love
Love is waking up to see your face
Or kissing in the morning rain
Love is the only thing that keeps me sane
At the end of the day is that I've got you
You're my secret place where I can be myself
You connect with me like nobody else
Even though our circumstances changed
Our love still remains
Meet me on the ground, still you help me fly
You taught me to be patient, I taught you to rely
So no matter what tomorrow brings
We got the simple things cause
Love is
A Sunday morning with the blanket wrapped around your waist
Love is
The way your lips seem to curve
When you say my name
Love is
And when I'm stressing like the world's turning upside down
Girl it all makes sense when you're around cause
At the end of the day is that I've got you
When Punk was finished, he looked up from his paper and saw that AJ was in tears and was moved by his words and truth be told, he was tearing up a little himself. "That's what I think about when I see you April. I see someone that I love more than life itself and I think that I have proven it time and time again. Love you so much Princess and I can't wait to be your husband and continue to be a great father to our three wonderful children," he concluded as he let the tears fall down his face. There was no shame in it.
"Thank you for those wonderful words Phil, now April would you please read yours," Shawn said politely.
Wiping the tears from her face, AJ took the piece of paper that Kaitlyn had given her and read her vows, "Phil before we even met, I was in a dark place no doubt about it. However when you came into my life, I knew instantly that you were there to make it better. When I think about how much you have changed me, no rather saved me, this is what I think about you…
Some say that love isn't fair,
But they don't know you and me,
And when they tell me that love doesn't last that long,
That's when I look at you,
I'll be standing by your side,
I'm gonna love you the best that I can,
You're my heart and you're my best friend,
And I promise till the end,
I'm gonna love you the best that I can
Time cannot tear us apart,
Were stronger than yesterday,
And though we've travelled so far you're still close to me,
Love changes everything,
You're the views and the valleys,
You're not alone,
And when the worlds upside down,
You know, I'm there,
And anytime I feel afraid,
That's when I look at you,
With the best that I can,
I will love you,
The very best I can,
From this moment, till the very end,
I'm gonna love you the best that I can
"You're always going to be the man for me Phil. There is no other that can take your place. You're an amazing man to me and an even wonderful father to our children. I'm glad that they have someone like you to look too. No matter what may lie ahead for us, I know that we can get through it together," AJ said in tears. She prayed and thanked God every day for allowing Punk to enter her life and to bring them even close when they were apart.
"Thank you for those heartfelt vows April. Now may I please have the rings please," Shawn asked and Dean gave them to him. Shawn did a little silent prayer then continued. "Phil please take AJ's left hand and please ready this as you do," he handed Punk a note card to read.
Taking a deep breath and looking into AJ's eyes, he ready, "April, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness for forever and always. As I place it on your finger, I commit my heart and soul to you and I ask you to wear this ring as a reminder of the vows that we have spoken today at our wedding." He then handed Shawn back the card and then placed the ring on AJ's finger.
"April, please do the same and read this to Phil as you place the ring on his finger."
"Phil, I give you this ring as a symbol of my love and faithfulness for forever and always. As I place it on your finger, I commit my heart and soul to you and I ask you to wear this ring as a reminder of the vows that we have spoken today at our wedding," AJ handed Shawn the card and placed the ring on Punk's finger.
"Phil, April, it takes a major commitment to do what you two did here today. Marriage is something that is sacred and you should never take it for granted. With that being said, ladies and gentle by the power invest in me by the State of Montana, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Phil, you may kiss your bride," Shawn smiled.
Punk walked closer to AJ and took her cheek into his hand before he planted a soft passionate kiss on her lips. AJ quickly wrapped her hands around his neck and deepened it. Everyone started to laugh especially when Jack-Jack decided to break it up, "Okay you too jeez, get a room."
Punk and AJ quickly broke apart and were bright red. Shawn just shook his head and laughed, "Well said Jack-Jack. Now ladies and gentleman may I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Brooks!"
Everyone cheered and some whistles were heard as Punk and AJ walked down the aisle finally united as husband and wife. It took a long time, but it was well worth the wait.
Wooooo Punk and AJ are finally married! Sorry for the wait, but this chapter was a little hard to write. Next time should we go to the reception and get a little teaser of the honeymoon. I hoped you like the chapter and let me know if you did.
