Life Goes On


"What the hell is going on in here?" Punk walked into he and AJ's bedroom where the girls were. He'd left them watching a movie whilst he made dinner downstairs, but was brought back up when he heard very loud music.

"Nothing." Marty shrugged, bouncing up and down on the bed as Punk noticed she had one of AJ's bras on whilst Kaia was sitting on the floor with some of AJ's make-up. He then turned to the TV where there was some sort of rap music on. It was like he'd walked into his very own hell.

"Uh…" Punk couldn't find the words at first, "What… why are you wearing that?" He asked Marty first of all who had AJ's bra on over her t-shirt, of course hanging off her.

"Mommy wears them." Marty bounced up and down on the bed, "Why can't I?"

"Because you can't. That's the answer you're gonna get, come here." He shook his head, walking over to the bed as Marty huffed and turned around, "How'd you even clip this thing?"

"I helped her." Kaia said as Punk took the bra from her and shoved it back in AJ's dresser.

"What do you know about any of this stuff? You guys were watching Aladdin when I left." Punk said, horrified.

"We just like mommy's stuff." Kaia told him simply.

"Ok, well mommy's stuff isn't play toys." Punk said, crouching down to Kaia, noticing she had eyeshadow all over her eye lids and eyebrows for that matter, as well as foundation around her neck, "Ya'll couldn't have been boys?" Punk groaned to himself, putting all of AJ's make-up back in her bag whilst Marty jumped down and headed over to AJ's dresser to look some more.

"Oh, what's this?" Marty smiled, pulling out something as Punk turned around.

"Ok, no…" Punk stood up, snatching the lingerie piece from her and shoving it back in the drawer which he immediately closed over.

"Hey, you almost jammed my fingers." Marty put her hands on her hips.

"Ok, let's set some ground rules for mommy and daddy's bedroom, I know you guys like watching movies in here but don't… don't go through the dressers or mommy's make-up or… watch this ridiculous music." He looked over to the TV.

"Why not?" Marty questioned.

"Are there secrets in here?" Kaia smiled as Punk looked at her.

"Kaia, I say this with all the love in my heart but… you look like a clown, baby." Punk nodded.

"Really?" Kaia gasped, "Cool." She smiled as Punk rolled his eyes.

"I think you're both going for a bath." He nodded.

"What about dinner?" Marty asked.

"That can wait." Punk shook his head, walking into he and AJ's bathroom to run a bath for them. Every day presented new parenting challenges for sure.


"When do you get off?" Eve asked, walking into the back where AJ was filling out some paper work.

"Eight." AJ nodded, "I only get to see the girls for a little bit before they go to bed but it's better than nothing." She said.

"How is the new schedule working for you?" Eve asked her.

"You know it's so much better." AJ nodded, "I know it's longer hours but it's less days which means I can get more full days with the girls."

"How is Phil's schedule been looking?" Eve asked.

"Crazy as usual." AJ nodded, "The good thing is it's flexible, he can work around me so if I'm not there at night or in the morning, he's got the girls and vice versa."

"Look at you two, getting this parenting thing right." Eve smiled.

"Yeah well sometimes." AJ nodded.

"How is Phil's mom?" Eve asked her.

"She's doing ok." AJ said, "She's got a date for surgery and when she's gonna start chemo shortly after. It's just about getting that hard stuff out of the way and then… recovering I guess." AJ said.

"How has Phil been?" Eve asked, "I know him and Seth are close to their mom."

"Yeah, well she's all they really had. They took it hard but they're doing ok." AJ nodded, "I think Phil is burying himself in work… and me." She shrugged as Eve nodded and laughed a little.

"As long as you're ok with that." Eve nodded.

"Oh, I'm fine with that." AJ smiled to her.

"Does he hold out for long?" Eve wondered as AJ raised her eyebrows.

"During sex?" AJ asked with a laugh as Eve nodded, "Yeah, long enough I guess."

"I can never get guys who go past five minutes, literally." Eve rolled her eyes as AJ laughed and nodded.

"Yeah, I think it's rare. Phil does not too bad." She nodded.

"Lucky you." Eve said, "How long have you guys been together now? It feels like centuries."

"Really?" AJ laughed, "It still feels like we only got together a couple months ago to me."

"That's a good thing." Eve smiled.

"Uh… so about seven years now." AJ said, "Gosh, that is quite a long time."

"You made an honest man out of him." Eve said, "Not the friendliest human being before he got with you." Eve reminded her.

"Oh, I know he wasn't." AJ said, "Actually it wasn't entirely me who changed him. I think it was the girls." AJ nodded, "They just made him look at life differently. They give him patience which is strange because… I feel like most days I run out of patience." She admitted.

"He's gonna be in trouble with them." Eve nodded.

"Yeah, I keep telling him that." AJ laughed as Eve smiled.

"Oh, hey what about the shooting that happened? Have they found anything yet?" Eve asked.

"No, Phil hasn't been working on it actually he's been caught up with other stuff." She said, "But they haven't found anything. Because it was Halloween it just…it makes it all the more difficult." AJ said.

"Who would want to do that, though?" Eve sighed.

"No idea. We're living in a scary world. It's just a relief that no one got seriously hurt." AJ nodded.

"Of course." Eve said, "And gosh, you've suffered enough with police drama."

"Yeah, tell me about it." AJ shook her head, finishing the rest of her paper work, "Ok, I'm gonna go take the trash out and then see to Jamie in room 14 and then that's me out." AJ nodded to her.

"Lucky you. My shift has just started." Eve frowned.

"I'll be thinking of you… whilst I'm at home in bed." AJ smiled.

"Bitch." Eve shook her head as AJ smiled, leaving the back room in the hospital and grabbing her coat to head out with the trash.

Just as she was getting her coat on, she heard her phone ring and noticed it was Punk, which she answered and got a run-down of what had been going on in their house for the night.

"My bra?" AJ laughed, walking down the back stairs of the hospital with the trash whilst talking to Punk on the phone, "What does she know about bras?" AJ chuckled to herself, "Hey, don't say our baby looked like a clown."

"You didn't see her." Punk mumbled through the phone as AJ laughed, "Also what's with this rap music? Have you heard the lyrics to some of that stuff?" He asked with concern.

"No, what's it like?" AJ smiled, of course teasing him.

"All I kept hearing was ass and broke bitches." Punk informed her.

"Sounds intellectual." AJ laughed, opening up the exit door and heading towards the trash trailers around the side, "You sound stressed."

"I am." Punk groaned, "They've had their bath and they're having dinner now."

"Oh, backwards tonight?" AJ wondered.

"Well, I… my mind got burned with all the ass rapping and bra wearing." Punk nodded, "She picked up that lingerie piece you have in your dresser too. You know… the ones with the stockings."

"She didn't." AJ gasped.

"Mhm." Punk nodded.

"They're out to get us." AJ nodded, throwing the trash into the trailer.

"Yeah." Punk said, "You finishing up?"

"Yeah, I'll be home soon." AJ smiled.

"Ok, I'll let you go then." Punk nodded, "See you when you get home."

"Ok, love you." AJ replied.

"I love you too." Punk said as AJ hung up, putting her phone in her pocket and smiling to herself after hearing what the girls had gotten up to for the night.

Just as she was walking back into the hospital, wrapping her coat around her a little tighter and getting her pass out to get back in, she noticed a car parked across in the back of the car park. She knew to never let her past nightmare affect how she lived her life, although she was open and honest about still suffering from PTSD after what she'd went through seven years ago.

She paused, looking over at the parked car. It was close but not close enough for her to see the person in the car. The engine was running and the lights were on. It did make her nervous but she knew that it was just her mind playing tricks on her.

She opened up the door at the side and noticed the car suddenly take off quickly. It was odd for anyone to be parked out the side which was why it always spooked her, but she knew it was nothing to lose sleep over.


"Did you give them like sugar or something before they went to bed?" AJ laughed, getting out of the shower and walking into the bedroom where Punk was lying on their bed whilst she had a towel wrapped around her with wet hair.

"No, they were little devils tonight." Punk shook his head, "Acting up on me."

"They enjoy teasing you." AJ said as Punk nodded, "It's only gonna get worse."

"Don't say that." Punk groaned as AJ smiled, "I got put on a new case today."

"Oh, yeah?" AJ smiled, using some body cream on her arms and legs as Punk watched her dreamily, "What's the case?" She asked him as he continued to watch her and stare, "Phil?" AJ laughed.

"Huh?" Punk shook his head, "Oh, uh… missing person, my favourite." He said.

"Hey, you know why Tony puts you on them? Because you're good at your job and he trusts you. That's not a bad thing." AJ said.

"It's a nightmare." Punk said, "Cause I still think about all those girls who… I couldn't find in time-"

"Hey." AJ looked over to him, "That was not your fault. That was a whole different situation. That man… that creature was a psychopath. You couldn't control any of that. No one could." AJ said, "Don't blame yourself for anything."

"I know." Punk said, "It's hard not to, though."

"Well I saw a car in the dreaded back car park." AJ told him.

"A car? Shocking." Punk nodded.

"Hey, you know I get freaked-"

"April, get someone else to take the trash out." Punk nodded, he'd suggested it to her a dozen times.

"It's my trash, though. We rotate turns." AJ shrugged, "Hey, I was ok. The car drove off and I realised that I can't overreact like that. I mean it's where it all went wrong but… that man is dead, nothing is gonna happen."

"Yeah." Punk nodded, "He's dead but that doesn't change what he did to you. What he tried to do. You still have to live with that." He said.

"And I'm ok." AJ assured him, "It's gonna be so sweet when we tell the girls how we got together. Mommy was being attacked by a psychotic serial killer and daddy killed him. If they have any sense of dark humour, they'll appreciate that."

"Oh, I'm sure they will. In the midst of all the… bra wearing and… make-up… the ass songs." He sighed, feeling nauseous as AJ laughed.

"Just you wait for the period conversations." AJ smiled.

"Hey, that is all you." Punk reminded her, "I have no idea how any of that works."

"Well you should. What if something happened to me and they come to you and think they're dying or something and you don't know what to do?" AJ asked, "Read up about it."

"They're three and five. Let them just… eat alphabet spaghetti right now." Punk nodded as AJ smiled, walking around to his side of the bed as Punk watched her, "Oh, hello." He smiled.

"Hi." AJ smirked, dropping her towel as Punk smirked, watching as she climbed over his body, smiling to himself as she lowered her face to his and kissed him seductively, keeping his wrists down against the mattress as he kissed back deeply.

She already felt him getting hard though his shorts and immediately stripped his t-shirt from him, moving down his body, kissing his chest and slithering down him as Punk smiled. She pulled his shorts and boxers down, reaching her wanted destination as she began stroking him up and down.

Punk rolled his eyes back and let his head drop back on the pillow as AJ smiled, eventually taking him into her mouth, bopping her head up and down on him as Punk moaned, looking down at her.

"Fuck." He moaned quietly, running his hand through her wet hair as she bobbed her head up and down, looking up at him. She released his length, licking all the way down him to where she used her mouth on his balls gently, using her hand to stroke him at the same time as Punk watched her, "Fuckin hell." He moaned blissfully as AJ looked up at him.

"I want you inside me." AJ smiled, moving back up and straddling his hips when she decided on something different, leaning forward and whispering in his ear as he raised his eyebrows.

"Really?" Punk looked at her as she smirked and nodded.

"I'm still wet from my shower." She whispered, taking his length from behind her and positioning it at a different entrance. It wasn't something they'd never done but they really didn't do it often.

"Holy shit." Punk moaned as AJ sank down on his length.

"Fuck." AJ moaned, leaning over his body and kissing him, beginning to move slowly up and down, "That feels so good." She whispered, cupping his face and moving up and down on him as Punk held her hips. The feeling was incredible. Just when he thought his wife couldn't turn him on any more, she pulled stuff out the bag like this, "You like fucking my ass? Huh?" She whispered as Punk responded by thrusting up into her, "Oh my God." AJ's eyes widened at the feeling.

"Yeah, I fucking like it." Punk responded as AJ smirked.


"What was that little change for?" Punk laughed, lying in bed later that night with AJ after a fun night.

"I don't know, I like it." AJ said, "And I know you do, you just never wanna ask-"

"I ask." Punk defended, "I just didn't think you were that into it."

"Did that look like I wasn't that into it?" AJ wondered with a laugh.

"Well… no, but that's just the effect I have on you." He smirked cockily as AJ laughed.

"Yeah, of course." She tapped his chest, "I hope you never get bored with me." She said.

"Are you seriously saying that after what we just did?" Punk laughed, "I'm gonna be seventy, crippled, maybe in a wheelchair and… we're still gonna go at it." He nodded, "And you're still gonna be the hottest woman on the planet."

"Just with a lot more grey hair." AJ figured.

"I'm already going kinda grey, don't rub it in." Punk rolled his eyes.

"Don't be dramatic. You've got a little bit on your head and… little bits on your hair." She said, "It's hot." She smiled, "You really got that whole daddy thing going on."

"Please don't say that ever again." Punk laughed as AJ smiled, "Good job you got a day off tomorrow, don't wanna be going to work walking all fun."

"Phil, honey you're good, but you're not gonna paralyse me." AJ assured him as Punk laughed and nodded.

"Well, I'm not exactly trying to do that." Punk said.

"I was actually gonna go to your mom's with Marty. You know, take Kaia to school and then go visit her, have a coffee and a chat." AJ said.

"Yeah that'd be nice, she'd like that." Punk nodded.

"It's just so important right now that she's talking to people and she doesn't feel alone." She said as Punk nodded.

"Yeah. I was actually thinking maybe on like Sunday's or something, we all have dinner, do it every week and make it a thing." Punk nodded.

"Oh, yeah that'd be nice." AJ said, "But you don't think she'd think that it's because she's ill that we're doing it?" AJ wondered.

"Well I guess she probably will." Punk said, "But we gotta spend more time together, as a family anyway." He said.

"I definitely agree." AJ smiled, "It's a nice suggestion. You should talk to Seth." She nodded.

"Yeah, I will." Punk said as AJ nodded.

"Now I'm really tired." She yawned as Punk smiled, kissing her head as he listened to her fall asleep very quickly, holding her in his arms, having no desire to be anywhere else but here with her.
