"AJ… I can't run away from this, because all it's going to do, is make me look over my shoulder all the time. I'd much rather face them and go back the apartment in Chicago…" Punk said.
"But Punk what if he hurts you? What about your son?" AJ said.
"He won't hurt me AJ…" Punk said.
"Let me come with you then, maybe if I talk to Randy about it, then he might see sense…" AJ said.
"No, I don't want you with me… I don't want you to get hurt." Punk said.
"Please… I want to come with you, we either do this together or not at all…" AJ said.
"Alright… ok…" Punk nodded, "Can I ask you some things?" Punk asked.
"Yeah? What?" AJ replied.
"How has Randy gotten away with doing this?" Punk asked.
"He's a genius, he knows how to cover things up… he knows how to make people say things that they don't mean…" AJ said.
"And Harli? Who is her dad?" Punk asked.
"Just a boyfriend I had, he did start to help at the start, but he just walked out one night. So, don't worry, we are still the same one parent wonders…" AJ smiled as Punk chuckled.
"Ok, you ready to go?" Punk asked.
"Yeah, I'll drive." AJ said, just as Seth and Dean came in the door.
"Where the hell have you been?" Dean asked Punk, "And what are you doing here?" He pointed to AJ.
"Look, everything is a really long story, really long but it turns out I don't need your help, everythings gonna be fine." Punk said.
"So? We can just go back down to the pub?" Dean asked.
"Yeah, we'll be fine." Punk smiled down to AJ, squeezing her shoulder reassuringly.
"Ok, that's fine with me." Dean smiled, walking back out the room along with Seth strolling behind.
"You ready for this?" Punk asked her.
"Your right, just have to face it…" AJ said, looking up at him, "Whatever goes down, I'm still going to love you." AJ smiled.
"I'm always going to love you." Punk said, leaning down and kissing her softly.
Later on…
"This is where he lives?" Punk said, shocked as AJ pulled up outside the huge house.
"Yeah, it's even bigger inside." AJ said, turning the car engine off and getting out of the car.
Punk just took a deep breath and began walking up the house, AJ beside him.
"Phil, we don't have to do this." AJ said, she could see the worried look on his face.
"We do." Punk said, taking his hand and ringing the doorbell.
They both waited a few minutes until Randy answered the door.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with our daughter…" Randy said, still staying in character in front of Punk.
"Shut up, she's told me everything." Punk said.
Randy just looked at AJ, giving her a death stare. How dare she blow all of their covers, if anything went down with him or Amy, it would be all her fault.
"What did you tell him AJ?" Randy said, glaring at her.
"E-everything… I love him Randy, I told you this days ago and you still wouldn't drop it, just leave him and leave me alone." AJ said.
"How do I know you won't go to the police?" Randy said, folding his arms and looking at Punk. If Punk threatened him by saying he would go to the police, he would have to get rid of him on the spot.
"Leave me and AJ alone, I won't say anything to anyone." Punk said, all he wanted was to be left alone with AJ and their kids, he was sure he wouldn't have time to think about Randy's mistakes.
"How can I believe you?" Randy said.
"I love AJ, ok. I just want to be happy with her, I give zero fucks on what you do or what you've done in the past, as far as I'm concerned, it has absolutely nothing to do with me." Punk said.
Randy looked at Punk, thinking hard in his head. He believed Punk, but what would he say to Amy? It was her that wanted this all to happen in the first place.
"Get the hell out of here…" Randy said.
"You won't bother us?" AJ said, almost about to cry with joy and happiness.
"No, now hurry up and get away before I change my mind." Randy said, slamming the door shut.
AJ just jumped on top of Punk, hugging him tightly.
"So this means I'm not going to die?" Punk smiled like a child.
"You have no idea how happy I am that he isn't bothering us anymore." AJ smiled.
"Me too…" Punk smiled and pecking her lips, letting her jump down and start to walk back to the car.
"Brooks!" Randy shouted.
Punk stopped in his tracks, he was totally going to turn around and see a gun pointing his way wasn't he. He turned around slowly and saw Randy throwing bits of paper out of his house.
"Take your shit." He said, shutting the door back over.
Punk walked up and picked up all his stuff that had been stolen, including a passport which thankfully now he could get a flight back to Chicago, much quicker than driving through the night. He just smiled, getting into the car.
With Randy…
"I can't believe you." Amy rolled her eyes.
"The guy has a son Amy, which may I remind you is yours. Plus, he's in love with AJ. Let's just leave them alone." Randy said.
"We've had this planned for months…" Amy growled at him.
"Ok, so he cheated on you. Big woopty doo, me and you are together now. You shouldn't even be thinking about him, just let him be with his girl and let me be with mine." Randy said, wrapping his arms around her waist, pulling her close.
"You're getting soft." Amy said.
"Maybe I am." Randy smiled.
The next day…
"Nick… hey buddy…" Punk smiled, upstairs in Seth's bedroom where Nick was sleeping, Punk had gone straight to his house from the airport to get him and Harli.
"Dad?" Nick said, opening his eyes slowly.
"Hey buddy, you ok?" Punk said.
"Can we go home?" Nick said, he'd missed being at AJ's house.
"Sure we can." Punk smiled, "You get your shoes and stuff on, I'll get Harli." Punk said as Nick nodded, getting his jacket and putting it on.
Punk walked out of the room, since Seth had hundreds of rooms, he figured Paige put them in separate rooms.
He found Harli in one sleeping to, so instead of waking her, he just lifted her out of bed, her head resting on his shoulder as she kept on sleeping.
He grabbed some of her things, walking back to Nick and putting her things in a bag that he was carrying.
Later that night…
Once Punk had came in from picking the kids up, he walked straight into Harli's room, looking at the place that had been changed around since AJ had put in a bed for Nick now. She made it look pretty cool, having one side of the room painted blue and the other pink, showing of different signs of both the childrens personalities.
"I get my own bed…" Nick smiled, diving on to his bed with the Iron Man covers.
Punk walked over to Harli's bed, since they were both still in their pyjamas it made it a whole lot easier, he just lay her in the bed, tucking her soft hair behind her ear and crouching down and planting a kiss on her head, she meant just as much as what Nick did.
He moved over to Nicks bed were he was already lying under the covers, loving the softness of the new bed.
Punk crouched down and flicked his nose playfully.
"You know how much I love you…" Punk said.
"Dad…" Nick rolled his eyes.
"I know we both act like we're best friends, carrying on and stuff but you're always going to be my son and I know that it's been tough these past years, but we've always had each other, no matter how bad things are, right?" Punk said.
"Yeah." Nick nodded with a smile.
"And we'll always have each other, even if dad gets dumped…" Punk chuckled.
"Yeah." Nick nodded.
"Ok… well you get to sleep ok, I'll see you in the morning." Punk said.
He'd just been thinking about how lucky he was that AJ did fall in love with him, otherwise he would be a dead man and he would have never got to say goodbye to his son.
"Love you dad." Nick said, sitting up and hugging his father tightly.
Punk just smiled, resting his chin on Nick's head lightly, "Love you son…" Punk said, kissing his head, watching Nick lie back down and get comfy.
Punk stood up straight, walking out of the room and shutting the door tightly.
He walked into his and AJ's bedroom, watching her take her clothes off and put her pyjamas on, her skin was such a beautiful colour, she was literally the most beautiful thing to him in the world.
He waited until he watched her put her pyjamas on before he made his presence known.
"You alright?" He asked, stripping his shirt off.
"Yeah, the kids ok? How did Nick like his bed?" She smiled.
"He loves it, thanks…" Punk smiled, "I just want to ask you something?" He said.
"What?" AJ said, watching him walk over and take her hands in his.
"I want to forget about all of this and just focus on me and you, promise me no more secrets…" Punk said.
"I promise you, I will not do anything as bad as what I done… but in a way, I'm glad Randy asked me to do this, because it brought me to you… I love you Phil." AJ said.
"I love you too April, so damn much." Punk said, kissing her lips softly, feeling her run her hands up his bare chest.
"Make love to me Phil…" AJ said, looking up at him as he nodded, taking her gently and lying her down on the bed.
