"Say something." April said, looking up at him, watching him closely.
"Two kids." Punk said, putting his hand against his forehead, leaning over the kitchen counter.
"I know." April nodded, two did seem a whole lot more than one. "I know it isn't planned, but it's not like we are in the situation we were in when I was pregnant with Scarlett. I have a normal job, Scarlett is nearly two, she'll be nearly going to kindergarten when the baby is born, it isn't as scary as it was the first time." April said, personally, she wasn't that surprised she was pregnant anyway, with all this spare time on their hands, it was bound to happen quicker than they expected.
"It's still another baby." Punk said, "When did you find out?" Punk asked, turning to face her.
"I suspected for a while, took a test last night." April said, being stopped from talking when a tiny voice came from the living room, calling out to her.
"Mommy." Scarlett called from the living room.
"I'm just coming." April called back out to her, looking up at Punk, "I'll be back in a minute." She told him, walking out of the kitchen and approaching her daughter to see what the matter was, meanwhile Punk stood in the kitchen and rested against the counter.
He was sure that him and April would proceed to have another child or two, he didn't expect it right now however and this had caught him off guard a little.
Even though he was shocked, he didn't have that bottomless gut feeling he had of not knowing when April was pregnant with Scarlett. He was experienced in being a father, nearly two years of it, he really didn't have anything to worry about, apart from slowly feeling older.
April came back after helping Scarlett pick another movie, her wining that the one she was watching had finished.
She came back into the kitchen and looked up at him, "I know." She nodded, "I know it isn't exactly how we planned, but it's not going to change anything around here, apart from having another little devil to keep an eye on. I can understand the first time round, being scared and all, but you're a great father, you don't need to worry or be scared. We're pro's at this." April said, watching him smile.
"It's not that I'm not happy. I am. I just… didn't expect this, so early on. Scarlett's still tiny when you put it into perspective, she'll lose out on attention with a new baby." Punk said.
"Hey, c'mon… you know they would get equally treated, Scarlett would be fine, she doesn't like having attention now as much as she did when she was younger." April said.
Punk just nodded, knowing April was right, "Was this the reason that you didn't want to go see your parents?" Punk asked him.
"Yeah." April nodded, "And the fact that I haven't seen them in forever. I'm terrified to see them again." She said, folding her arms.
"There isn't anything to be terrified about. They're your parents." Punk said.
"I know, but you know what I mean, you of all people. What if… what if they don't want to see me? What if they hate me for walking out on them all those years ago?" April said.
"Like they would hate you, April. C'mon, you aren't that easy to hate. They might be annoyed, yeah… but they still love you, stop being stupid." Punk said.
"Let me think about it." April said, "But… you're ok with the baby? I know it's a bit of a surprise, but I don't know, decorating a new nursery, buying tiny new clothes… something about me can't wait to do it all over again." April said, shrugging her shoulders.
"Just as long as I don't have to deliver it again this time." Punk said, watching her laugh.
"Well if you took your phone the last time, maybe you wouldn't have had to." She raised her eyebrows at him, watching him just look down at her, shaking his head with a smile.
"So when do you think? You know…" Punk said, looking at her with a smirk.
"Well, if I'm right in thinking I'm two months along, that would take me back to a birthday where we had the house to ourselves." April smiled.
Punk just laughed, "That birthday was good." He nooded, emphasising on the oo part of good, "The poor kid is going to work it out when it's older and realise he was a birthday sex mistake." Punk frowned as April slapped him across the head.
"Watch it." She pointed, smiling to him nonetheless, "I'm going to watch Tangled with my daughter now, if you don't mind." April said, walking out of the kitchen and into the living room, sitting down with Scarlett who immediately snuggled into her.
Punk wasn't fussed really about the sex of the baby, it would be nice to have a son, one of each, but having two daughters wouldn't be all that bad either, he really wasn't bothered, as long as it was healthy and happy, he didn't care.
He walked into the living room too, where April and Scarlett were. He picked Scarlett up and sat down where she was sitting, placing her on his lap where she lay down into him, whilst April leaned against his shoulder.
Things were shaping up to look great for the Brooks family.
