Dad Day

"Oh, wow. Pregnant?" Eve questioned as AJ nodded, standing at the hospital desk in the department as AJ ate an apple, "Have you told Phil?"

"No. I found out this morning." AJ said, "He was already gone for work." She said.

"Were you trying to get pregnant?" Eve asked as AJ shook her head, "You think he'll take the news well?" She asked.

"I hope so." AJ nodded, "Kaia just turned three, it's not like… it's not like she's one or nine months or something." She shrugged.

"You gonna tell him tonight?" Eve asked as AJ nodded, "Nice father's day surprise."

"Oh, shoot… so it is." AJ realised, "Kaia made him a card at her playgroup. It had macaroni tubes stuck to it, lots of glitter… so beautiful." AJ nodded as Eve smiled, "And he had a special breakfast this morning." She nodded.

"You seem… calm about this news." Eve smiled, "Are you secretly excited?" She wondered.

"I mean… yeah, I am." AJ shrugged, "It was such a cool experience the first time. So… life-changing and amazing. Kaia is becoming her own little person and she's talking to us now, tells us all about her days at playgroup and… I don't know, it'd be nice for her to have a friend close to her age. I mean we talked about more kids not long ago. We didn't decide on anything but… maybe it's a sign." She said.

"A sign that you forgot your pill?" Eve smiled.

"Well… technically speaking, yes." AJ shrugged as Eve nodded.

"How you gonna tell him?" Eve asked, "How'd you tell him about Kaia?"

"Uh… I think it just came out." AJ said, "I was super nervous with Kaia. I feel like a pro now." She shrugged as Eve smiled, "I don't know, I'm picking Kaia up from her playgroup. Phil said he'd be home at five. I don't know whether to wait until Kaia has gone to bed."

"Yeah, that might be better." Eve nodded.

"I hope he doesn't freak out." AJ nodded, "I mean… he didn't really freak out with Kaia and that was a lot scarier." She shrugged.

"How far along do you think you are?" Eve asked.

"Couple weeks probably." AJ nodded, "There was this really good night like five weeks ago or something." She remembered.

"Good sex doesn't mean you're more likely to get pregnant, April." Eve laughed.

"I know, but surely it has to help." AJ shrugged, "I'm getting kinda hot just thinking about it." She admitted as Eve looked at her.

"Well please stop… thinking about it." Eve suggested, "What made it so good?" She asked, nevertheless taking interest.

"I don't know, it was just… one of those unexpected nights. You know where there's barely any signals until you're just… there in the moment." AJ nodded, "And there's all different kinds of sex too-"

"Can I just say, I'm glad that your sex life didn't go out the window once you had a baby." Eve nodded.

"Oh, it got better, I swear." AJ nodded.

"What are these… different kinds of sex?" Eve asked her.

"Well there's the slow, kinda tired but sweet sex." AJ shrugged, "Usually just a missionary zone if you know what I mean." She said as Eve nodded, "Then there's the selfish sex-"

"Oh, what's that?" Eve leaned over the desk, resting her head on her hand curiously.

"No kissing, no foreplay, not much eye contact… just… sex." AJ shrugged, "And then there's quick sex which is like… Kaia is about to wake up from her nap so we gotta be quick." She said.

"I really just thought there was just sex. Nothing more to it." Eve shrugged.

"No, it's like a vibe." AJ nodded, "And then there's the good sex." She smirked, "And I think that's what got me pregnant." She concluded.

"What's so good about it? And different?" Eve questioned.

"I don't know, it's just… when you're more into it, you got more time, you're in the moment… your legs are behind your head-"

"Ok, some things you just… you don't need to tell me." Eve assured her as AJ smiled.

"I think I've got a bad case of horny right now." AJ sighed.

"Yeah, I'd say so." Eve agreed, "Maybe you can figure that out later on. Some celebration sex… is that another type?"

"Oh, yeah it is." AJ said, "Birthdays, Valentines day, Christmas, anniversaries… yeah, they're pretty good too." She thought to herself as Eve just shook her head and chucked.

"Well… congratulations on the news." Eve smiled, "I'm happy for you both."

"Thank you." AJ smiled.

"Daddy, happy daddy day." Kaia smiled, sitting at the kitchen table later that night waiting for dinner. She was an extremely cute little thing and had really changed both of their lives for the better.

"I think that's the twelfth time she's said that to me today." Punk whispered to AJ, "She's like ten second Tom from fifty first dates." He said as AJ slapped him on the stomach, "Thanks, baby." Punk turned around as Kaia smiled.

"Did you like my card?" She asked him.

"Oh, it was the best card I've ever had." Punk nodded.

"And your breakfast?" Kaia wondered curiously.

"Amazing." Punk said as Kaia smiled, happy with herself as AJ watched with a smile. She was the most adorable little angel. So gentle, caring and loving already, even at such a young age, "Do I get a special dad dinner too?" He wondered, looking over AJ's shoulder at the dinner they were having.

"You get chicken pasta like the rest of us." AJ turned her head and smiled as he nodded.

"Yeah, I figured." Punk nodded, walking over to the table and sitting Kaia's dinner down to her as she looked at it funny, "What?" Punk shook his head.

"Don't think I like this." Kaia admitted as Punk and AJ sat down.

"Yeah, you do. You had it last week and you told me you loved it." AJ said as Kaia folded her arms.

"No, I don't think so." Kaia shook her head, unconvinced, looking at the pasta with disapproval.

"She is ten second Tom." Punk nodded as AJ just smiled and shook her head, "Taste it, maybe you forgot how good it was." He told her. Of course having a three year old still came with many challenges, but every day was worth it.

"Well ok." Kaia agreed, taking her fork and getting the tiniest bit of pasta.

She definitely tested them, but getting to see her grow into this beautiful little person was so fun to watch.

"You like it?" Punk asked her as Kaia took a few seconds to figure out if she did or not.

"Yeah, it's ok." Kaia shrugged as AJ smirked to Punk and nodded. He did have to give his wife credit. She was super mom at everything and she was also what made being a father so fun and special.

"So how was work?" AJ asked him whilst having dinner. Kaia played with her action figures whilst eating her dinner very slowly as she did, one pasta tube per minute practically.

"The usual." Punk said, "Tony wasn't in so it was a little loose."

"Why wasn't he in?" AJ asked.

"Father's day." Punk shrugged.

"Oh, so he can have it off but when it was your first father's day he made you work until 9pm?" AJ raised a brow.

"You still hate him for that, huh?" Punk smiled a little.

"Yeah, I do." AJ nodded.

"He's the boss. And I guess I respect my boss." Punk shrugged, "Plus, he's been good to me over the years with giving me days off."

"You're entitled to days off, Phil." AJ reminded him.

"I know but, if it's days that I should be working. I can't fault him." Punk said, "How was your day? Busy?" He asked her, watching as Kaia slid an action figure over to him. As a father, the greatest talent he'd developed was the talent of multi-tasking. He could eat dinner, chat with his wife and also play with an action figure, all at the same time.

"Yeah for the most part. Slow morning but it picked up in the afternoon." AJ nodded, "I had a seven year old girl come in with the measles." She frowned, "Parents hadn't given her the first dose of shots." She shook her head.

"That pisses me off." Punk said as AJ tapped his foot under the table, making him aware of his language, "It does." Punk shook his head.

"I know, and as a nurse I can't… I can't start lecturing these people, you know? But… why wouldn't you take them for their shots?" AJ sighed, watching Punk play with Kaia with her little action figures, smiling to herself. He was such a good dad, thoughtful and sweet. She was so glad that her baby had a father like him. Her babies.

"It's like it's my birthday or something." Punk said, breathing heavily as he lay in bed, running his hand through his hair whilst AJ collapsed on top of him in a sweaty heap.

"Well it is dad day." AJ gasped, brushing her hair out of her face as she rested her head on his chest, "I can still appreciate you for everything you do for our baby." She smiled, looking up at him.

"It's the best thing in the world." Punk smiled as she leaned forward and kissed him, a little tiredly and sloppy after steaming up the room for the past while, "When I was bathing her she asked me if it's just her daddy's special day." He said as AJ smiled.

"She's the best." AJ shook her head as Punk nodded, finding his breath again as they both stayed peacefully still in each other's arms.

"She is." Punk agreed, "It's those eyes she gives me. I'm turning into a melt these days." He shook his head as AJ smiled.

"There's nothing wrong with that." AJ looked up at him, resting her chin on his chest as he looked down at her, "So I have some news for you." She smiled.

"You have news for me?" Punk laughed a little, "What's the news?"

"I'm pregnant." She nodded as Punk raised his eyebrows, "Found out this morning."

"No way." Punk said with shock.

"Yeah way." AJ smiled, "We're gonna have another baby." She nodded as Punk raised his eyebrows even further.

"Oh my God." He sat up a little as AJ sat over beside him, "Oh my God." He whispered as she smiled and nodded.

"Is this good oh my God's?" AJ smiled as Punk nodded.

"You're gonna have another baby." He smiled happily, pulling her over on top of him again as she straddled his hips and played with his hair.

"Yeah." AJ nodded, "Another one." She chuckled lightly, "You ready for that?"

"Are you?" Punk replied with a chuckle.

"Yeah, I think so." AJ nodded, "We got this." She smiled.

"Holy shit." Punk shook his head, in so much disbelief, but it was such an exciting feeling.

"Appropriate day to tell you." AJ nodded, "Happy father's day." She shrugged as he laughed a little.

"Yeah, no kidding." Punk laughed as she smiled. It was such a heart-warming feeling. There weren't the first time nerves like there were before with Kaia. They could really savour this moment and embrace the excitement, "I love you." He shook his head, cupping her cheeks.

"I love you too." She smiled, leaning in and kissing him sweetly.
