Chapter 36- Reunited
It had been about an hour since the doctors came in and got Punk under control before rushing him for numerous scans and John and AJ were getting worried. "What if he doesn't pull through John?" AJ said in fear. "What if I lose my fiancé and the father of my child? Oh god, my son will grow up without his father."
"Don't talk like that AJ," John scowled her "Punk is going to be just fine. Sometimes you have to take a step back before you can move forward. This set back will just make Punk comeback better and stronger, you'll see," he reassured her, "Besides, you'll always have me here to help you regardless."
"Thanks John," AJ said as she hugged him. "I know that you're always going to be there for me and Junior. Sorry about breaking down, I guess that I'm just tired and my mind is running about a hundred miles a minute."
John gave her a hug and said, "It's okay AJ, if I was in your shoes, I would probably be acting the same way." He kissed the top of her head, "I love you AJ and I would never lie to you without cause, you know that right?" He wondered if now a good time to tell her about her father.
AJ looked up at him and said, "Of course I know that John. I know that everything that you and Phil are doing is to protect me one way or another. I'm very thankful for that John and I love you too." She leaned up and gave him a kiss that landed at the corner of his mouth. So close, John thought to himself as he smiled and AJ blushed before hugging him again.
They stayed like that for some time till Punk's doctor found them, "Excuse me, are you Jeanette Brooks?"
"Yes I am, how is my fiancé?" she asked the doctor as her and John broke apart. She prayed that he was alright.
"Mr. Mendez did indeed suffer a seizure; however, it wasn't too bad so he did get lucky. We did some scans and I'm happy to report that no damage was done to his brain. We have determined that the cause of the seizure was most likely due to Mr. Mendez's body resetting itself. It could also be that it was his body's way of waking him up from his dream like state. He should return to normal soon, but he does need to rest and possibly take some time off of work. He is awake and is asking for you, if you would like to go see him," the doctor told them.
AJ gave the doctor a smile, "Thank you doctor." The doctor smiled back and walked away. She then turned towards John and said, "You were right John, you were right all along. Phil is going to be okay!"
"See I told you so," John smiled at her. "All you had to do was have some faith. Now let's go see that accident prone fiancé of yours." AJ just laughed and they made their way towards Punk's room.
As they walked towards his room, AJ had gotten butterflies in her stomach. She wondered what Punk would remember and what he would say or do when he John come into the room. Well they were going to find out, because they had just reached Punk's room. "Stay out here for a minute until I say your name and then come in okay?" She told John. John nodded in agreement and watched as AJ entered the room.
Punk was lying slightly elevated and had his eyes closed. Fearing that he was asleep, AJ quietly walked over to his bed and gently grabbed his hand. Surprisingly, Punk squeezed her hand back before opening his eyes. "Hey princess," he smiled when he opened his eyes and saw AJ standing there.
"Hey Punky," AJ smiled back with tears in her eyes. "How are you feeling?" she was so happy to see him wide awake and coherent.
"I'm doing okay, I just have a real bad headache and my arm is killing me," Punk said as he tried to sit higher with AJ's help. "How did I get here?"
Once he got settled, AJ sat on the bed beside him, "Seth was the one that found you. He went to go look for you and found you in a pool of your own blood in the bathroom. You gave us quite a scare when you didn't wake up." She started to tear up at the memory of what they all went through, "I don't know how much you remember, but John is here. He has been helping me get through these past two days."
She turned towards the door and John walked into the room smiling at Punk," Hey man, nice to see that you're alive and well. You had us all worried there for a second. Do you remember anything?"
"Hey John, it's nice to see you too," Punk smiled as he shook John's head. "Thanks for taking care of Junior and April for me. As for remembering anything, I just remember getting into a fight in the bathroom, but that's about it. The thing that freaks me out the most was that the doctor said that I had a seizure, is that true?"
"Ya it is," AJ said sadly. "One moment I was taking to you to try to get you to come back to us and the next minute you were seizing. John took care of you while I went to go get help. The doctor said that it was your body's way of resetting itself so that you can wake up and come back to us. I'm so sorry that you got hurt again Phil. It's all my fault, if we didn't have to leave Montana, you wouldn't have gotten hurt. You're better off without me. I am such a disappointment to everyone," she cried.
"Come here princess," Punk told her softly as he took her into his arms. "I'm so sorry that I put you through all that worry baby. I never wanted to hurt you and Junior like that. I never want to hear you say that you are disappointment alright? You are not a disappointment believe me. I'm the one that is a disappointment. My own parents even called me that to my face when I left Chicago. They told me that I was a failure and a disappointment to them. They said that I would be lucky if I could find a women to love me for who is was. I love you April and you are that women that loves me for who I am. I also love Junior and I promise you that I will marry you before he is born. We don't need our family to be here to do it, because they are already here. The boys, girls, and John, they are the only family that we need, because they accept us for who we are. I love you April."
All AJ could do was cry at his loving words. She felt so horrible. Here she was feeling sorry about herself when Punk was the one that was really hurting. She couldn't believe that he parents had called him a disappointment to his face. Even though her parents never actually said that to her, she can only feel a fraction of what Punk was feeling. When they broke apart, AJ looked into his eyes and said, "I love you too Phil and as long as we have each other, that's all we'll need." She leaned forward and gave him a passionate kiss. When they broke apart again, that's when they noticed that they were alone in the room, "Where did John go?"
Punk shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, I guess he wanted to give us some space. Anyways, what happened while I was out? Did the catch Brock? I'm gonna kill him if I ever get my hands on him." He remembered Brocks cowardly attack on him and he wanted his revenge.
"The cops can't find him Phil," AJ informed him. "After he attacked you and Seth found you, Dean sent the cops after him and Brock has been invading them ever since. I hate what he did to you, but at the same time, I want to thank him."
"Why?" Punk asked confused. He had no idea that Junior was really sick. "What could he have possibly done to deserve a thanks for you?" he was starting to get anger.
Looking down sadly with tears in her eyes, AJ said, "You don't understand, so let me explain. When you got admitted in the hospital, I lost it. I started to panic and all of a sudden I got this sharp pain in my stomach. Roman ran to get help and the doctors quickly admitted me into the hospital. They ran some tests and scans on me and at first they said that everything, but…"
"But what?" Punk said as he started to freak out. He didn't like the way that things were sounding. "April what is wrong?" Is it you or Junior?" when he saw her start to cry harder and rub her belly, he knew that it was Junior. "Oh god April, what is wrong with our baby?" he felt like he was going to pass out.
"He's sick Phil," she cried. "Beth did and ultrasound this morning and found out that Junior has a hole in his heart. They immediately ran some more scans and tests to see how bad it is, but so far there's nothing yet. Beth said that she would come find us when she has the results. So you see, if Brock hadn't have put you in the hospital, we may have not known about Junior's condition. I'm so sorry Phil, I'm so sorry that I let this happen."
Punk had tears in his eyes as well. He didn't want his son to be sick. That was the last thing that him and April wanted. He pulled her into a hug and said, "It's okay princess, it's not your fault. Sometimes these things happen and we have got to make the best out of it. I'm just glad that we found this out now rather than later. We can get through this April, don't worry."
They held each other as they cried and were only interrupted when they heard someone knocking on the door. They turned and saw that it was Beth standing in the doorway, "Hey guys, sorry to interrupt you guys, but I got the test results back and I'm afraid that it's not the results that we wanted."
Yeah Punk is finally awake and is acting normal. I'm so glad that he is okay. At the same time I feel sad for him, because of what his parents told him. They are real jerks. Anyways, oh no, Junior's tests weren't good. I hope that he will be okay. Stay tuned to the next chapter, because something big will happen that will change Punk and AJ's plans for the future.
