The next day…
"God, how do you get so many of these?" AJ asked, her and Punk walking out of the tattoo parlour after she had just gotten her second tattoo on her hip bone, just under her jean line.
"C'mon, you pushed two babies out of you, a tattoo should be a tickle." He laughed as they walked to their car.
She had decided to get Punks name with the twin's names below in line with each other, an infinity sign between the names. She forgot how sore it was to get a tattoo, or maybe it was just where she had got it, right on her hip, she was just glad she got it now.
"You ready to go home?" Punk asked her, both of them getting into the car, watching AJ look down her jeans at the tattoo which was covered up with cling film by the tattooist.
"Yeah." AJ smiled, leaning back and smiling towards Punk, cupping his cheek as he pulled out of the parking space and got on route to go home.
After a half an hour of driving home, they finally arrived at their house, pulling into the drive and getting out of the car, shutting the doors over and walking over to Seth and Paige's house, knocking at the door.
Seth opened the door, however Charlie and Sam were the first to emerge, extremely happy to see their mother and father.
AJ and Punk crouched down to their children, giving them hugs and kisses and asking them all about their stay at Uncle Seth's, listening to them explaining how much fun they had staying at Seth and Paige's.
"Thanks again for looking after them." Punk smiled, the twins dragging their mother into the house to show them the Wii while Punk walked in talking to Seth.
"It's no problem." Seth said, "Did you have a good time?" He asked.
"Yeah." Punk nodded, smiling at AJ interacting with the kids, knowing she had missed their little characters so much.
"They're great kids, man. Raised them right." Seth patted Punk on the back, walking away into the kitchen to find Paige.
Punk just smiled, looking upon his children with his hands in his pockets, smiling at their little giggles and smiles. They were perfect, every part of them, who knew something so good could have come from him? A man who had done a lot of bad things in his life. They were the reason he got out of his bed early in the morning, them and his beautiful wife. He had everything, he was the luckiest guy in the world.
Later that night…
Since they hadn't really celebrated Seth, Paige, Dean and Renee moving to Puerto Rico, they decided to have a friendly gathering later on in the night at Punk and AJ's house.
The kids were happily playing in the centre of the living room, fighting a little sometimes, nothing their fathers warnings couldn't get rid of. Faye was asleep in her father's arms. Dean had gained the talent of holding his daughter in his arms while she slept while still being able to hold his beer in his hand and drink from it. It was a skill he only had, he told people anyway.
AJ had showed everyone her tattoo which was still covered with cling film which was advised for the first few days.
"Did it hurt?" Renee asked, liking how much meaning that tattoo had to AJ.
"Yeah." AJ nodded, "But it was worth it." She smiled, really happy with the tattoo.
"My back tattoo was agony." Seth said, having only the one tattoo down the spine of his back, Chinese writing of his name.
"You're all wimps." Punk rolled his eyes, AJ sitting on his lap and slapping his shoulder playfully.
"Easy for you to say." Dean said, "You're probably just used to being inked. I'm still surprised your veins work." Dean sniggered.
"I'll take Faye for a tattoo when she turns 18." Punk smiled Dean's way.
"You do that and I'll break your leg, both of them." Dean warned Punk, coorying Faye into his chest as she slept peacefully.
"So, how did your weekend go?" Renee asked them.
"It was good." AJ smiled, turning to Punk and kissing Punk, sitting on his lap and wrapping her arms around his neck, the kiss being a little too deep for their friends.
"Alright, get a room." Dean said, turning away from Punk and AJ.
Punk just smiled, pulling back from the kiss, resting his hand on AJ's lap.
Throughout the night, the kids had been put to bed as well as Faye who was sleeping up in AJ and Punk's room in the middle of their bed, leaving the adults up in the living room.
"I am not playing dares." Punk rolled his eyes.
"Pussy." Dean coughed, smiling to Punk.
"No, I'm not a pussy. I'm 34. Not 13." Punk glared at Dean.
"Come on, it will be fun." AJ tapped him.
The good thing about their friendship they shared, they could always count on each other to make each other laugh and smile, they were kids at heart refusing to grow up.
"Fine." Punk rolled his eyes, "Whose going first?" Punk asked.
"I'll go first." Dean raised his hand, "Give me your best shot, Brooks." Dean smiled.
"Alright…" Punk smiled, about to have some serious fun with this.
The night proceeded to go on as did the humiliating dares, the night spiralling on to early hours of the morning as they continued to dare each other humiliating and embarrassing things.
"I dare AJ…" Punk smiled to his wife, "To make out with Renee." He smiled as Dean got overly excited and started pushing Renee over towards AJ.
"That all you got?" AJ laughed, standing up as Renee did, pulling Renee towards her and locking lips with her friend, not being as hard as what Punk thought it would be.
Dean jumped up and down on the couch, slapping Punk on the chest with excitement.
"Please don't tell me this is turning you on." Punk shook his head as he looked at Dean.
"It's not turning you on?" Dean looked at Punk with disgust.
"A little." Punk shook his head from side to side, not wanting to admit it.
AJ pulled away and went back to her seat, sitting down beside Punk as Renee sat back down too.
AJ couldn't even remember doing things like this when she was a child, never mind when she was married with children. It was nice to feel so free and have so much laughter filling their home. She wasn't the type of girl who had many friends growing up, it was so nice to be surrounded by four amazing friends, as well as her amazing husband.
"Why didn't I video that." Dean frowned as Renee just chuckled, stroking his cheek with sympathy in a playful way.
Punk lived for this kind of stuff… not watching his wife make out with other women exactly, but being surrounded by his friends who were technically his family, they brought out the good in him, their immature jokes and stories, they were the only people he would tolerate staying up until 5am with playing a game of dares. They were the closest friends imaginable and were like the one big family that done everything together.
"What'd you say we stop playing and get breakfast?" Dean suggested, the clock ticking onto 5am.
"Where do we get the energy from?" Seth asked himself.
"I'll put the kettle on." AJ smiled, standing up off the couch, walking away into the kitchen where she switched the kettle on, getting out six mugs from the cupboard.
This was what she needed to do, surround herself by positive things, her husband, her children, her best friends, that way she wouldn't need to think back to a few months ago where she was at breaking point.
"Need a hand?" Punk asked her, coming into the kitchen and watching AJ put coffee in five mugs, putting a tea bag in the sixth mug for Dean who hated coffee.
"I think I can make a few cups of coffee." AJ smiled.
"I know, I just wanted to come out and see you." Punk smiled, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her into him, "I love you." He smiled.
"I love you too." AJ smiled, looking up at him passionately, pressing her lips up against his.
"Things are going good for us." Punk said, pulling back from the kiss.
"Yeah." AJ nodded, "Finally." She smiled, wrapping her arms around him as she hugged into him, feeling him hug her back, kissing her head softly.
"Hey…" Seth said as he came into the kitchen, watching Punk and AJ part from their hug, turning around to Seth.
"Sorry…" Seth said, not meaning to interrupt, "Me and Paige are actually going to head off, so you don't need to make us breakfast." Seth said.
"Alright, you sure man?" Punk asked him.
"Yeah, Paige isn't feeling too good." Seth said.
"Ok, man. We'll say you later then." Punk said as he watched Seth nod, going back to his hug with AJ.
Seth and Paige were barely in the door to their own house before they were immediately on each other, locking lips as Seth carried Paige upstairs, their lips attached to each other the entire time, reaching their bedroom and facing each other.
"You sure you want to do this?" Seth asked her.
"Yeah." Paige nodded, "I want nothing more." She nodded, cupping his stubbly cheeks, feeling him press his hand against her stomach.
"Let's try." Seth smiled, watching her nod and latch onto his lips again.
