Chapter Fourteen - Dreams Do Come True


"Let's Light it up!"

The music filled up the entire stadium as AJ's signature pink and black spiderwebs covered the screens and ramps.

AJ morphed in her crazy chick persona as she skipped through the black curtains. She was truly in awe at the sight as she stood there with her Divas title around her waist. She paused for a moment to take it all in.

10 years ago she was just another fan in the crowd squinting to see the ring and now she was in the middle of it. And walking in as the Diva's champion. This was truly the greatest moment of AJ's career so far.

She kissed her title for what many people thought would be for the last time before wiping her feet on the apron and stepping into the ring. She handed her title over to the ref and mentally prepared herself for the match.

The bell rang and AJ was pushed into the center of the ring with only Tamina by her side. All the other Divas circled her before pouncing and starting 'figuratively' beating the crap out of her. It told a good story and that's all AJ ever wanted to be apart of.

The match was planned out so that every diva would get chance to be showcased, but the finish was going to come to AJ and Naomi.

Divas were flying all around the ring before it was just the two of them left.

AJ locked Naomi in the black widow and the crowd erupted. She yelled for the other Diva to tap as she fell onto on knee. AJ had a tight grip around the other Divas wrist and used it to tap her hand on the mat. At the same time Naomi began to throw her arm around

AJ slid out of the ring and grabbed her title from Vicki before making her way onto the top turnbuckle. She screamed 'forever' at the top of her lungs as she held the belt up high above her head.

She stepped down back onto the mat and welcomed the surprising amounts of cheers from the crowd due to her heel nature.

AJ waited until the other Divas had left ringside before exiting the ring. April gave the crowd one last look before slinging the title over her shoulder as she turned and headed straight for the curtain.

AJ made her way via all the writers and producers who offered small smiles and nod of appreciation.

AJ entered the female locker room and found it empty of the other Divas who were watching the main event to film for Total Divas. She quickly packed the last few things into her bag with her title was tucked away into its 'jacket' as she placed it on top of her bag.

April grabbed her phone and glasses and looked around the Arena for an empty office so she could face time her fiance in private. Once she found what as she looking for she clicked on her lock screen and noticed an impending face time call from the man that never left her mind these days.

"You were perfect" gleamed Punk as he smiled at the image of his fiance on his phone screen.

"I was just about to call you." Her smile matched his as they were revealed to just see each other. "That was so overwhelming. It was such a cool moment to not only be the first champion to defend the title at Mania but also to walk out as champion. It's like a dream come true" spoke AJ as she found herself being overcome with emotion.

"I always knew what you were capable of."

"I appreciate it more than you could ever know."

"I watched you go from a rookie on the horrible NXT show to becoming the amazing Diva and wrestler you are today. I'm so proud of you April."

"Thanks Phil." April blew a kiss as the screen which Punk welcomed.

"So I take it Naomi is going to beat you tomorrow at Raw."

"As far as I know. That's why I tapped her hand. Last I heard shes going to confront me."

"It would be a good story." Punk said to her.

"If anyone deserves it, Trin does" agreed AJ. "Hopefully we can have some more matches when I get back."

"I can't wait to see you tomorrow. These last few days have gone on forever. But knowing your coming home tomorrow and not leaving until you are legally bound to me makes me very happy."

"You make marriage sound so appealing" laughed AJ as she pushed her glasses back up on her face.

"What time does your flight leave?"

"I think its at 1:25am, so I'll be land before 3."

"I'll be there waiting."

"I love you Phil" confessed April out of no where. "So much it scares me."

"I know. And I love you more than life itself."

"I'll call you again when I get back to the hotel."

"Okay babe. Stay safe." April locked her phone screen as she left the room with a goofy smile plastered on her face. A smile that her fiance put there everyday.


AJ arrived backstage at Raw to find herself being immediately pulled into yet another creative meeting. She was informed that the plans for the evening had changed.

She didn't mind the plans. She loved the young Diva known as Paige, but also felt bad for her friend who was once again being overlooked.

Today was of course her last day of work before she was taking a few months off. Of course this was kept privately and only a select few knew.

"Saraya" called out AJ as she wanted to go over the script one final time with the new Diva.

"Congrats for tonight" warmly spoke AJ as she hugged the 21-year-old Diva as they waited backstage.

"I believe congratulations are in order for yourself as well."

"Huh?" asked a confused AJ.

"Your engagement silly!"

"Oh" giggled AJ. "Yeah. I don't think anyone saw it coming, including me."

"Well I'm looking forward to working with you. But why are you dropping the title to me straight away?"

"I'm taking a couple of months off to heal up and perhaps get married during that time. Hence I'm trusting you to take good care of my baby." Saraya's eyes lit up.

"OMG so next time I see you after tonight you'll officially be Mrs Punk!"

"Something like that" giggled AJ.

"AJ. Paige!" called out a producer as he waved for the girls to come into Guerilla.

"Good Luck" warmly spoke AJ as her music hit and she morphed into her crazy chick persona.


Punk pulled up outside the airport and checked his phone to make sure AJ hadn't texted him yet. As he looked outside his car window he saw AJ with her hood up and glasses on. A wide, goofy grin appeared on her face as she spotted him waiting for her.

Punk jumped out of the drivers seat and went to grab her bags for her but AJ stopped him and grabbed the back of his neck. She pulled him down in for a searing, bruising kiss. Normally she was against such public displays of affection but she missed her fiance. And the fact that they were in a pretty much empty airport also contributed to that.

"Hi" she smiled as she lowered her feet and unwrapped her arms from around his neck as he looked down at her with love-filled eyes.

"Hi" finally spoke Punk as he regained the ability to form words.

As Punk drove them home, AJ gushed about her Wrestlemania weekend and Punk couldn't have been anymore happy that AJ stilled enjoyed her dream job.

"Did they really want you to call yourself 'the best diva in the world'?"

"So I made have modified that line slightly" cheekly replied AJ with a sly grin.

"That's my girl" repsonsed Punk.

"Well of course your name was chanted, and I know the execs were pissed but didn't bother saying anything to me as I left the arena" stated AJ.

"It's not like they can stop the crowd chanting my name. Anyways, Vince is still paying me downside so it looks like hes paying for the wedding." AJ just rolled her eyes as she let her eyes wander to the dark streets of Chicago. That's when I light bulb went off in her head.

"I still have to unpack everything" groaned AJ as the realization dawned upon her. She threw her head back and slid further down her seat. Her first couple of days off were of course not going to be spent doing nothing like she envisioned.

"No you don't" smugly smiled. "I unpacked everything for you."

"You didn't have to do all that. But tell me" asked AJ. "Who helped you?"

"Why don't you believe that I did everything myself?"

"Because I know you. And you, while claim you're not, are lazy and would rather pay someone else to do it. Even your friends."

"Ugh. I hate it when you see right through me. Colt and Cliff unpacked most of them after I promised to supply pizza" he told her. "But I made sure that they didn't touch your underwear or your comics."

"Good" smiled AJ as she leaned over to peck his cheek. "Did you make sure my chucks were in correct order?"

"What chucks?" questioned Punk with absolute seriousness as he avoided her gaze, keeping his eyes firmly on the road.

AJ's eyes widened in shock. "What?" she asked with shock laced with anger.

"Kidding" he laughed but AJ showed a very different expression. Punk gulped.

"There are 3 things you never joke about with me. My comics, my chucks and my CM Punk action figures."

Punk pulled up into his driveway and exited the car grabbing AJ's bags and carrying them up the stairs for her.

"Do you really have to keep them now? I mean you have the real deal."

"They aint going anywhere!" she stated almost childishly.

"Its creepy though" whined Punk as he turned the doorknob and let AJ step in first.

"They will be staying in a box anyway" smiled AJ as she stopped mid sentence as she was in awe at what was waiting for her.

There was a large banner reading 'Welcome Home!' plastered across the railings.

"I mean it. This is your home now as well and you can change and add anything you want."

"You are seriously the best" warmly smiled AJ as she stood on her tipy toes to reach his lips for the umpteenth time that night.
