I'm glad they don't think any less of Punk for his past and I'm happy they still want to talk to them. They finally have friends who know what they went through and they now have someone to talk to about things that's bugging them. Next step: Punk tells Aj about his past and they get married.

Congrats and please keep reviewing!

Chapter 21- New Beginnings

"Wow man that's rough," Reigns said as they finished hearing Punk tell the story about what happened in Montana.

"Ya Punk, you and AJ are lucky to be alive and well," Ambrose said as he put his arm around Layla's waist. He didn't know what he would do if he and Layla were in Punk and AJ's position.

AJ sighed and said, "Yes it's been a long journey, but we're both stronger because of everything that has happened to us." She grabbed Punk's hand and gave it a gently squeeze, "Right Phil?"

If only he could agree with the love of his life, but he couldn't. Deep down inside of him, he knew that everything that they had been through did in fact change them, but it was AJ who was made stronger not him. Thus, everything that the boys told him in the car about putting things behind him started to fade away as he started to doubt himself again. You see, in his eyes he felt weak. In his mind, he was a complete failure just like how many people told him so. He couldn't tell AJ though, not yet at least, so he lied, "Right Princess, we are both stronger." He leaned down and gave her a deep kiss.

"Aww…" all the girls sighed as all the boys began to make gagging sounds. "Gross mom and dad, stop it please," Ambrose said mimicking a teenager's voice and behavior.

Punk and AJ broke apart and turned bright red. "Haha very funny Dean," Punk said as they regained their composure.

"It's not very funny when that's going to be happening in a few years when Junior is older," Rollins laughed. Punk and AJ immediately got scared, because they knew that it was true. Everyone just looked at them and started to laugh at their terrified faces.

"Alright guys, I think that's enough," Trish said as she calmed down from her laughter. "It's getting late and we should let the parents to be get some sleep while they can. They had a pretty big day today."

Everyone nodded their heads and began to say their goodbyes. "Bye AJ, I'm glad that we really know the real you now and your even more awesome than before," Kelly said as she hugged her and Rollins patted Punk on his back.

"Take care of yourself Punk and remember what I said," Reigns told him as he gave him a bro hug. "Bye AJ, don't let Punk get on your nerves," he laughed as he gave her a hug as well.

Right behind him was Trish and after she finished hugging AJ, she went over to Punk and said, "You better take good care of my girl or else." Punk stood there like a little kid who had been scolded by his mother.

"Easy there tiger," Layla laughed as she hugged AJ and Punk goodbye. "Don't worry about Trish Phil, she can be a little umm…aggressive. However she is right though, you better take care of AJ and Junior or we will come after you."

"Don't worry, I'll take real good care of them," he told Layla as Ambrose also up to him. "Thanks again for tonight man, I hope these meetings are what we need."

"Anytime man," Ambrose smiled and shook his hand. "I'm glad that we could help and I'm sure that these meetings will help you." He then turned to AJ and gave her a hug as well, "Congrats again on Junior being a boy AJ and I'm glad that we got to know the real you."

"Thank you Dean and I'm glad that there are no more secrets between us now," she smiled. They then walked all of their friends out and waved at them as they drove off before going inside and locking the door.

They then cleaned up the living room and went upstairs to get ready for bed. "So how did the meetings go Punk? You didn't really talk about it much," AJ said as she got into bed next to Punk.

"It was umm…alright. We just talked about some of the things that we were going through and how we dealt with them," he said as he sighed deeply. "There was this guy there, his name was Brock, and he umm…sort of knew who I was."

"What?" AJ said shocked as she sat up in bed. "How did he know you?" she thought that nobody knew who they were there.

Punk leaned against the headboard and pulled AJ into her arms, "Apparently he worked in Chicago after I left and he umm…overheard some rumors about me. He called me out at the meeting and I sort of had to spill the beans to everyone and tell them who I am."

"What an asshole," she said a little angry. "I can't believe that he did that. You don't think that we are in danger do you?" She hoped that nothing would hurt them any further.

"No I don't think so," Punk said. "I don't want to think about that, so why don't we talk about something else," AJ nodded her head. "Let's talk about what you did today Princess."

"Umm…okay," she said, she was still a little curious as to why he wanted to change the subject so quickly. She then reached on the nightstand to grab a piece of paper, "We just joked around and came up with possible baby names for Junior."

She handed him the piece of paper and he smiled, "Really? That's awesome baby." He opened the paper up and he read all the names on it, "These are wonderful April, but I think that we have to narrow them down a bit though."

"Okay then, what names do you like the most?" she already knew which ones she liked, but she wanted to know Punk's input first. "Well let's see here, I like the name Bronson Matthew, cause there's not to many boys with that name. Alexander Phillip is also a good name. We could call him Alex or Xander for short, so that's a possibility. I also like Anthony Michael is another good strong name and…really? You want to name Junior after me?" he asked his fiancée.

"Ya why not?" she smiled at him. "You're a very special to me Phil. You are such a strong caring man and I want those qualities in our son. Also Junior is really starting to look a hell of a lot like you, so it's only fair that he named after his daddy."

Hearing that made him smile, it would be nice to have a little boy running around that was truly a mini punk. He also knew that Junior could also bring honor back to his name, but that it could also be a curse to son. He'd have to think about it some more. "Why don't we keep this name on the list as well as Bronson, Alexander, and Anthony, and we can think about them some more the closer we get to Junior's birth?"

AJ smiled and said, "Okay Punky, that sounds like a great idea." She put the paper on the nightstand before she gave Punk a big kiss as they settled down into bed.

As they laid there and AJ already asleep, Punk's mind began to replay everything that happened that day. He couldn't believe how such a happy day turned so crappy for him. There were so many secrets and questions running through his head that for the first time in a while, he really prayed that SHIELD could help them. He and AJ needed a new beginning and they needed one now.

Meanwhile back in Montana, something big was happening. All the boys were gathered at their warehouse and they were waiting for Elizabeth to show up. It had been two days since they found out that John was a cop and they were finally out of jail. According to John, he wanted to lower their targets sense of security, so he talked everyone into staying in jail for a while.

Now that they were finally out, it was time for the real show to begin. "Where the hell is your mom, Mike?" Barrett said. John had chosen him as his second in command and he wanted to take the job very seriously.

"She'll be here soon," Mike spat at him. "And don't you talk to me like that. Who do you think are?" Everything was starting to turn crazy and out of control.

Barrett got into his face and said, "You want to know who I am, I'm a man who is getting sick and tired of you and your mother's shit. You let my best friend die and all you two did was brush it under the rug. You're lucky I don't…"

"That's enough," they heard someone shout. They all turned around and saw Elizabeth walking into the warehouse. "What is going on, why did you call me?"

"Because I told him too," John said as he looked down at them from the second floor railing. "I told him to call you, because we have some business to discuss."

Elizabeth rolled her eyes and looked at Mike, "And where the hell have you been? I've called and called and I got no answer." It wasn't like Mike to ignore her like that.

"We were in jail mom," Mike sighed. He was sure that he was going to get in now.

"What?!" You were in jail?" Elizabeth asked. "How…why…why were you in jail?"

Mike let out a breath and said, "The cops caught us beating up Kofi and we went to jail for a bit, but John got us out."

"And how did he do that?" Elizabeth asked. "He can't do anything right."

"Because he's a cop."

"What, ya right."

They both heard John laugh and say, "That's right Elizabeth, I'm a cop. I'm GZ and from now on things are going to change from how on. It's time for a new beginning and you're all going to take orders from me now. Take notice boys, things are about to get real interesting from here on out."

Well that can't be good. What do you all think? Do you think John is in it for good or evil? Also poor Punk, why is he second guessing himself? Maybe something from his past is really affecting his present. Next chapter there is a bit of a time jump and maybe we will get the answers that we so desperately need.

Also I looked at the poll results and we have a tie for two names for Junior. Please keep voting for the name that you want.
