After AJ and Punk got over the shock, adrenalin and excitement of AJ's pregnancy, the weeks began to tumble along like a whirlwind. One minute her stomach was flat, next she had a small bump while she stound side on to the mirror in their room.
They kept the pregnancy on the down low until AJ past the 12 week mark, knowing all pregnancies didn't go to plan at the start.
Once of course, the 3 month mark had gone by, Punk and AJ told AJ's mother who was ever so delighted to become a grandmother, of course it made her feel old, but she was so happy for her daughter and son in law. They also told Nikki who was extremely excited as well, stating it could be a friend for Fern while they grow up, Punk and AJ also asked Nikki to pass the news along to Dean.
AJ couldn't have asked for a better husband during the months so far of her pregnancy, any time she was restless at night time, either hungry or too warm, Punk done everything to help her feel that much comfier. Even if it did consist of her making him go along to the 24 hour super market to get her whatever she was craving.
Punk had also took up running the whole house, letting AJ sit on the couch most days while he cooked, cleaned and took the dogs walks. He didn't mind, AJ was happy, he was happy.
She was now already five months pregnant and was already started to feel big and bloated. Her logic was usually to stay up all night and nap on the couch during the day and she had begun to sit Punk into that routine as well.
It had turned 3am and Punk made his way upstairs from getting AJ her requested sandwich. He questioned who was pregnant out of both of him, he felt exhausted 24/7, but he wouldn't moan about it in front of AJ, he gave her the respect she deserved for carrying his child and for soon enough preparing herself to bring their son or daughter into the world, so he just kept quiet.
"Sandwich m'am…" Punk smiled, passing her the plate as he padded through into their room, walking around to his side of the bed and looking out the window. All he could see was leaves on the cold, damp ground. In the middle of September, it was expected.
AJ was thrilled to realise that the baby was due round about Christmas. Christmas used to remind her of friends, family, a time for giving, but now, it just reminded her of when she found her soul mate, her best friend, her husband.
"You excited for tomorrow?" AJ asked him as he got into bed and under the covers with her.
"Yeah…" Punk nodded, "Nikki is right though. I don't even care now if it's a boy or a girl. As long as it's healthy." Punk smiled, kissing her cheek.
AJ waited for a few minutes, she could read his mind like a book, "You still want it to be a boy don't you?" She smiled to him.
"Yeah." Punk chuckled, not being able to hide it.
"Well, I hope it is a boy, for your sake." AJ smiled, leaning down and kissing his lips.
Honestly, she didn't mind, she genuinely just wanted the baby to be healthy, she knew Punk did to, but she also knew the pride inside him that wanted a son. She didn't mind either or.
The next day…
Once Punk and AJ got up the next morning, making their way to the hospital for their scheduled appointment, of course stopping on their way there to get breakfast which AJ had insisted in, having her usual coffee and chocolate muffin. They finally found themselves in a scanning room, waiting for their doctor to approach them.
"Never liked hospitals." Punk shook his head, sitting on the seat beside AJ who was lying on the bed.
"Me neither." AJ agreed, but even though they both didn't like hospitals, they were glad to be here finding out wither it was a son or a daughter they were going to have, they'd already been to get their twelve week scan which was the first time they got to see the barely noticeable baby, but now they both assumed the baby would have grown much more and would probably be very clear to see now.
"Sorry about the wait…" A doctor announced, walking into the room and placing her folders down, getting set up for the scan, "How are you doing?" The doctor asked AJ personally.
"I'm good." AJ nodded with a smile.
"That's great. Alrighty…" She announced, attaching the probe to the monitor and pouring some gel over AJ's grown belly and moving the probe around her stomach.
"Everything seems just fine, the baby seems a little small, but that's nothing to worry about, just make sure your eating and sleeping plenty…" The doctor said, still looking at the monitor and rolling the probe around AJ's belly.
"Is it healthy?" AJ asked, turning her head around to look at the monitor.
"Yeah, perfect… it's normal for a baby to be a little smaller than hoped for at this point in your pregnancy, and I can see you're quite small yourself, it's totally fine, nothing to worry about." The doctor assured, "I can tell you the sex if you like?" She asked them.
"Yeah." Punk nodded quickly.
"Alright, probably best to buy some blue paint, little boy you have in there." The doctor smiled.
If Punk wasn't in company of the doctor he would have jumped off the seat and danced, but he kept inside and just showed a huge smile to show for it. A son. He was going to have a son. Yeah a daughter would have been just as great, but he did state that he wished for it to be a boy, he could teach him all the finer things to life, he just wanted a mini him.
AJ couldn't have been happier, she turned and saw how happy Punk looked, it was enough for a tear to quickly slip down her eye.
"I'll see you again in another few weeks." Their doctor smiled, taking some paper towels and wiping AJ's belly, walking out the room and letting AJ and Punk leave when they were ready.
Punk helped AJ down from lying on the bed, looking down at her when she got to her feet.
"Are you satisfied now?" AJ smiled up at him.
"Yeah… I am. You and the little man are all I need." Punk said, reaching down and tangling his hands in her hair, kissing her lips softly. He spoke the truth, he didn't need anyone else, AJ and their son meant the world to him, even if the baby wasn't even born yet, he would be in a few short months and he couldn't wait to hold him in his arms, all the fear and doubt and washed away and now he just couldn't wait to be a father.
The next month…
October, Punks favourite month, not just because he was a sucker for Halloween, but his birthday was at the end of October but yet, he couldn't think of one single he wanted, he had everyone he needed, as cliché as it sounded, he didn't need anything else.
AJ had been doing a whole lot more sleeping and eating much healthier food since the doctor had requested she done that, she was feeling much better for it as well and knew the baby was happy since he had started kicking her, mostly during the night where she would shake Punk to wake up and feel him.
"What you doing out here?" AJ asked, the night before Punks birthday, walking out into the garden where he was sitting down on the swing, "It's getting late." She whispered, walking over to him and sitting down beside him, leaning her head against his shoulder as he moved them back and forth slowly.
"Is he still kicking?" Punk asked.
"He's calmed down now, he was going mad earlier." AJ laughed, "You ok out here?" She asked him, looking up at him lustfully.
"I'm fine. Just thinking." Punk said, looking down at her, he could have started at her eyes all day, every day.
"About?"
"Us… the baby, everything." Punk said, "I never thought I could ever have got you to date me, never mind all of this, you remember that night in the bar where we didn't just have sex? First time I had ever felt so strongly about a girl, I'm just really glad you gave me that chance to show you how much I fell in love with you." Punk spoke.
"You were always going to get a chance, I fell in love with you way before that night in the bar Punk, I just… I was afraid to ever tell you, I guess my past was haunting me and I waited until I really knew you, inside out. I'm not just saying the typical, 'I'm the luckiest girl on earth' but I'll go to war with whoever wants to question me on it, because I am, I'm so lucky to have someone like you, even if it's just the little things you do for me, like cook the dinner when I'm too tired, or take the dogs a walk, do the washings… as long as I'm with you and our baby, nothing can go wrong." AJ smiled, watching him lean down and kiss her lips, his hands tangling her hair, the only thing between their heat was AJ's bump.
"Do you want your birthday present?" AJ whispered, pulling away from him and looking up at him.
"It's not my birthday yet." Punk sniggered, playing with the strands of her long hair.
"It will be once I give you it." AJ smirked, running her hand up his chest, all the way down and across his thigh.
"Are you going to give me it… right here?" Punk played along, watching her bite her lip and shuffle up to him.
"If you want it here, you can have it here." AJ smiled, taking her hands and running them up his t-shirt, feeling his naked skin at her fingertips, feeling Punk take one of her legs and gently pull it around him so she was straddling his hips.
"I hope this is a good present." Punk teases, reaching up and kissing her in quick notions.
"Don't worry." AJ whispered, pushing him down slightly to lie back on the swing/couch outside, "It'll be the best birthday present you've ever got." She said, in almost a moan already, reaching down and fumbling with the belt of his jeans. It was his birthday, she was going to give him back a little something, to make up for all the things he had been doing for her these past months of her pregnancy.
