"You what?" Punk stood up straight, looking down upon her now, overshadowing her as she gulped nervously, every bone in his body aching as he could sense she was telling the truth and this wasn't some sort of wind up that he hoped it was.

"I slept with Seth." AJ said again, looking up at him as he looked down at her, feeling intimidated by him as he stood over her.

Punks breathing echoed room, his palms were sweating from the thoughts running through his mind, not only had AJ slept with another man, she'd slept with his best friend.

"When?" Punk asked sternly, backing away from AJ to keep his anger away from her, not wanting to do anything he regretted.

"Yesterday. He came round to see how I was, I… we just…" AJ watched as Punk closed his eyes and turned his head in disgust, "It just happened." She mumbled.

"What… is this your way of getting back at me? Did you intentionally sleep with him just to piss me off? I can't… I can't believe you…" Punk said, his hands buried in his hair on top of his head as he looked around the room, not knowing what to do with himself, punch a wall, question AJ, punch Seth, take the twins and leave… he was so lost and hurt, he never thought AJ would be capable of doing something like this, not in a million years.

"Please… it wasn't intentional, I feel physically sick whenever I think about it, ok? I… I was crying, upset, I felt like you didn't love me and I wasn't thinking right, I kissed him and it just happened. Please Phil, don't be mad." AJ said.

"Mad?!" Punk shouted, "Don't worry I'm not mad. I'm fuming. You wait until I see him." Punk pointed to her, not believing that Seth had done this, or AJ for that matter, "How could you?" Punk looked at her like she was such a despicable human being, which from his point of view she was.

"I know. I feel horrible, I'm so scared that… this might affect our relationship for good but… we can get through this, right?" AJ said.

"I don't think I can answer that right now, April." Punk said, looking straight at her. All he could see was Seth's hands all over her, her vulnerable state lying in his arms after they done what only him and AJ were supposed to do. "You slept with my best friend while our children slept upstairs." He gritted his teeth.

"Don't you think I know that?!" AJ shouted as she walked towards him, looking just as scary as he did, "I know. I know I have fucked up but if you hadn't of kissed Amy, we wouldn't even be fighting." She said, knowing she wasn't in any position to turn this all around on him, even though strictly speaking, what she said was true.

"Oh. So it's all my fault?" Punk said, "What's next AJ? Is this what's going to happen every time I upset you, you go running to my friends?" Punk said.

"How about you just don't upset me in the first place." AJ said as she threw her arms up in the air.

Punk just sighed and looked down at the ground, looking back up and taking a deep breath, "There's no excuse you can make to justify sleeping with Seth and you know it." Punk said.

"I know what I done. I regret it of course but you can't act all innocent just because this is overshadowing your kiss with Amy." AJ said.

"Do I have to explain to you the difference between a kiss and having someone fuck you?" Punk said, going down to eye level as if making fun of her height, watching her hug her arms and back away a little.

"I want you to leave." AJ said, "I want you to get out of the house right now." She shivered.

"I am not leaving until I get a worthy explanation to why all of this has happened." Punk said, "And trust me, I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it for them." Punk pointed to the twins who were now asleep even through their parents shouting, both of them lying close to each other with their tiny eyes closed, "They deserve the best environment to grow up around and me and you aren't starting off pretty well." Punk said.

"What do you want me to say?" AJ said, "I'm sorry. Clearly we've both made mistakes, we can sit down and talk about everything, look past it all and have a new start, we could go away for the week…" She walked over to him, holding his arm, "We could go away, just me, you and the twins. Have time to ourselves…" AJ said as Punk shook his arm away from her touch.

"I made a mistake, April. You've ruined our relationship." Punk said, "I got down on my god damn knees there, begging you to forgive me, feeling like I was the worse person in the world, feeling so annoyed with myself for upsetting you when you were standing there just as guilty, listening to me go on and on."

"I'm sorry ok… what more do you want me to say. I am disgusted with myself, I am a mother and I'm off sleeping with someone else, I feel ashamed of myself, I can't look at myself in the mirror. You have no idea how sorry I am. Let's just… let's start over again, pretend these past weeks never happened, focus on the twins because they're the ones that are going to suffer throughout all of this… please, don't let us become the parents you fear that we'll be." AJ said, watching Punks study the twins, smiling as Sam made little shapes with her mouth in her sleep, turning his attention back to AJ, his smile dropping.

"I don't think I can ever pretend that you never slept with him. I understand you were upset, I get it… you weren't thinking… but something in your head must have told you that sleeping with Seth wasn't going to make this situation any better. I thought you were better than this." Punk shook his head.

"And I thought you'd never kiss someone else while I was at home, but you did." AJ said, still not letting Punk slip into the good guy act now.

"Not the same thing." Punk shook his head, "Not even close." He said, walking over to the twins and lifting them up into his arms as AJ looked on.

"What are you doing? Put them back down." AJ said as she watched Punk walk by her with their sleeping twins in his arms.

Punk just ignored AJ and walked on out into the hall, managing to open the front door, walking out into the cold and opening their car that Punk had left the night before, deciding to walk to Seth and Dean's, getting the twins into their car seats as AJ followed Punk out.

"You are not taking my kids away from me." She said, pushing him slightly out of the way, wanting her children back in their home, feeling Punk move her out the way without hurting her of course, finishing strapping the twins in and closing the car door over.

"I'll call you within the next few days, I don't think I want to be around you… or Seth for that matter. I'm taking the twins and I'm going to visit my mom."

"Well… let me come with you… yeah, we can go out and let your mom watch the twins, me and you can talk and…"

"April, I don't even want to look at you, never mind talk to you." Punk said, "Just go back in the house, I'll contact you soon."

"You can't take them from me." AJ said.

"I'm not." Punk said, "Only for a few days, I'm not going to be the one that has to be torn apart from them. This is your mess." He said, "Tell Seth that our friendship is done." Punk said, getting into the driver's seat of the car, keeping the door opened as April held it open.

"Phil… please…" She said, tears streaming down her eyes, "Don't do this… you're just as guilty as I am… we've both been in the wrong, let's just calm down, go back in the house and talk things through. You don't have to do this." She said, feeling him move her hand away from the door, watching him bang it close as he started the engine.

AJ had no choice than to stand back and watch him drive away, not being able to do anything to stop him. Not only was she left with the disappointment of him and the looks of his disgusted face replaying in her mind, but he had taken her twins away from her, leaving her cold and alone, feeling like she wasn't capable to look after them.

She watched as he drove off, leaving her empty with her own guilt, definitely feeling like he had won the fight, the only good thing that came out of this was him not immediately wanting to kill Seth, she figured he was more disappointed and hurt by her, the woman he loved who had flat out cheated on him all the way.

She'd only made situations worse and now was left with nothing, for the time being. Couldn't he understand that she still loved him and that sleeping with Seth meant nothing, she was so upset with the mistake he had made that she turned to Seth for reassuring comfort, but she knew better than to blame the full thing on Punk, she could have easily told Seth to go or stopped anytime, but she didn't, which is why she found herself in this awful situation.

She just prayed to a god that Punk came back and gave her a chance to speak, they both were annoyed with each other, but they still loved each other, more than they even knew themselves, parting away wasn't going to help the situation, it would just cause more tears and more loneliness, for AJ anyway.

Punk continued to drive on the road, his two hands on the steering wheel as he headed the opposite direction of his mom's house, not intended to go there, his eyes on the road in front of him as he heard the twins in the back seat, both gurgling and making soft noises as they fell back asleep.

"It's alright… dad's here…" Punk said, looking in his rear view mirror at them both sleeping. He looked at the road sign that had the name of the hotel Amy was staying at indicating to the right, while the other turn to the other hotels was left.

He indicated right.
