It had been a few weeks since everything had kicked off at home and AJ had found a house not far from where Punk would be. She didn't want to leave or move out, it felt wrong and stupid, but it's what Punk wanted and she was willing to give him what he wanted, she'd put him through enough pain.

She hadn't seen Seth since that horrible night. She didn't plan on seeing him, she was too ashamed and embarrassed. The only thing that seemed to keep her smiling was getting to see her kids every day when she went around to her house, or old house now, to collect her things, making her and Punks room look rather bare and cold without her things sitting around.

The twins did ask a few times why mommy was moving to a different house, but April never knew what to say, so she just told them that it wouldn't be for long, which she hoped it wouldn't be. She already missed Punk like crazy, being alone was a scary thing.

She'd spoke to Punk a few times whilst moving into her new house that he had sweetly paid for and helped make it as homely as he could.

Truth be told, the thought of AJ living alone for Punk was hard, he didn't like to know that she was alone in an empty house, but he wasn't in a position to have her around the house, things had went too far and he just couldn't forgive her. Maybe one day they could find their way back to each other, but he wasn't so sure. Maybe they just had to be that split up couple with kids who went back and forth from dad and moms house.

But unfortunately for Punk, something else was standing in the way of him parting his ways from AJ and concentrating on his children.

He had just put the kids to bed one night, packing their bags for AJ to pick them up in the morning and take them to stay with her when he heard a knock at the door. He assumed it was Dean since he had been coming around every now and then to see how he was, Seth knew better than to knock on his door.

But it was AJ, standing at the door with a worried smile, waiting for him to let her in.

"AJ, its late… are you ok?" Punk asked, opening the door wide and letting her in, watching her walk straight in and into the living room.

Punk wasn't angry at her anymore, he had just accepted the facts and let her deal with the consequences. He put all his attention to the twins and tried his best to not think about how the love of his life had betrayed him so coldly and that they now shared not only different rooms, but houses on his request. It didn't seem like it should be right but to him it was what was best for them both. There was no exception for what she had done.

"I'm ok." AJ nodded, turning around to face him as he walked into the living room behind her, closing the door over and folding his arms.

"Are you round for more things?" Punk asked curiously, wondering why she had come round so late and abruptly.

"No… I'm actually here to talk with you, I won't take up much of your time, I just… I need to tell you something." She said.

"Listen… just because we aren't…" He pointed to them both, "Just because we aren't together anymore doesn't mean I don't have time to listen to you… I'll put the kettle on." He said, walking into the kitchen and sticking the kettle on, grabbing two mugs from the cupboard.

He may not have felt the same about AJ anymore, he may not have wanted to be together with her, but he did still have a connection with her, not just through the twins, but through life. He was always here to listen to her, even after everything she had done.

AJ was glad that Punk was being like this, he could have completely blocked her out of his life and that wouldn't have been ok, she wanted him back the way she normally had him already, but she knew that wasn't what he wanted, she understood that though. This was what she deserved.

She took a seat in the kitchen, pulling out a chair at the table while she watched Punk in the kitchen, in a pair of sweats and a Ramones t-shirt, his cubs hat on his slicked back hair.

"Sorry if it's too strong, didn't have much milk left." Punk said, sitting down and passing her the blackened coffee.

"Oh… you wouldn't mind if I had tea?" She asked out of curiosity.

"Eh…. Sure." Punk said, very rarely seeing AJ drink tea, taking the cup of coffee and transferring it quickly with tea, taking a seat across from her and staring across at her.

He did miss her, he missed her every minute she wasn't around, but he just couldn't live with a woman who was a cheat.

"So, what is it you needed to tell me?" Punk asked her, looking across at her as she tucked her hair behind her ears and clenched her body together.

"I'm… well, I'm sort of… I'm pregnant." She said, looking up at him as he swallowed loudly, his palms sweating immediately as he leaned back on the chair and put his hand to his forehead.

"Is it… is it mine?" Punk asked, refusing to go through all of this again.

"Yeah." AJ nodded, "I'm already two and a half months along. I went to the hospital and got it checked." She said, saving him the panic. She only slept with Seth a few weeks ago, she must have been already pregnant which sickened her.

"You're pregnant." Punk repeated to himself, his mind all over the place, not believing this. All he could think about was how exciting this would have been if they were both still a loving couple together.

"I know… I know this doesn't change your feelings for me, I know this doesn't change what I done, but I just thought you should know." She said.

There wasn't anyone more shocked than her when she found out, but part of her was excited, for all the obvious reasons, another baby with Punk may be what they needed to get back to normal. But of course she would not use this baby as a weapon to jump back into Punks bed. If he still wanted them to be split, then they would still be split.

"You're right… It doesn't change what you done." Punk agreed with her, "But it does change a lot…" He said, "I'm not taking you back just because you're pregnant." He said, not wanting to sound harsh but wanting to be completely honest with her. Of course he was going to love this baby just like the loved the twins, he'd love AJ just as much for bringing her or him into the world. He loved AJ, regardless, he just couldn't forgive her, not this fast, pregnant or not.

"I know." AJ nodded, "I'm not using this against you for you to take me back. I just wanted to know how you wanted to do this." She said, understanding him completely. This was just the way it was going to be from now on.

"I'm going to be there for it all, ok?" He nodded to her, lifting his hand over and taking hers, "Just not like a husband way that I know you want me to be." He said, being blunt with her, knowing she understood which he was glad of.

"So we're just… just friends, having a baby…" She shrugged with a small chuckle, watching him smile back.

"Yeah." Punk nodded, something like that.

He had to admit, he was so excited and overjoyed that AJ was pregnant again and he was going to be there for her one hundred percent like he always would be. He just wasn't willing to forgive and forget the hurt she had caused upon him.

"I better be going then, it's getting late." She smiled, standing up as he done to, both of them staring at each other awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

AJ couldn't help feel that she should be kissing Punk while he swung her around in his arms while they celebrated the new life they had created, but that just wasn't going to be the case, she'd ruined the chance of that happening.

"Look…" Punk put his hands in his sweat pants pockets, looking up at her as he twitched his nose, "I don't think I can ever forgive you for doing what you done, but you're pregnant and that is more important to me than some stupid one night stand you had with my friend, I'm more interested in our new son or daughter." He smiled to her, "What you done don't make me any less happy than what I would be if you hadn't slept with him." He said.

"I'm just glad you still want to be involved. Having a baby wouldn't be the same without you." She said.

"Come here." Punk waved her over, watching her stumble forward and into his arms.

He was still so painfully annoyed and angry with her, so hurt and destroyed inside, but she was carrying his third child and it felt no different from the love he had when she was pregnant with the twins. Maybe this baby would help them, he didn't think so, he didn't think there was anything that could ever help him deal with AJ sleeping with Seth, but this baby was definitely something to smile about.

AJ felt so content to be in his arms, even if it was just a 'friendly' hug. To be in his arms again was everything to her. She knew having a baby whilst not being together or on good terms wasn't exactly ideal, but he was going to be there for her and that was all she needed to know.
