Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me
AJ felt a tear roll down her cheek as she stared at Punk that was sitting on the bed across from her. This was like finding out she was pregnant, bittersweet. Bitter because it's him and sweet because... it's him. Everything about him she loves. The way he cares for their daughter, the way he loves their daughter, the way he will do everything to defend her, the way he would do anything for her. It makes her trust him and be able to love him like she's loved him for five years.
AJ puts runs her hands from her knees to her thighs and stands up and puts her hands on the sides of his neck and kisses him as she straddles his waist. He outs his hands around her back as she runs her fingers through his hair, their tongues battling for dominance as she grinds against him. Punk fell back against the bed, AJ still grinding on him and their kiss never breaking.
Punk gently pushed AJ up so their kiss would break for the need of oxygen. "Wait... You feel the same?" He asks and she smiles, her hands resting flat on his chest to support her up.
"Phil, I have for five years," she says and he wipes her tears with his thumb as she takes her tank top off and lets it fall to the floor.
Punk's hands go up to cup her breasts, massaging the soft mounds through her pink push up bra, making AJ moan into his mouth as he tugged on her nipples through the lacey material. Punk reached behind her back and fumbled with the clasp of her bra, letting it fall to her wrists her hands trapping her bra from coming off her body because they were on Punk's chest.
Punk flipped them over so he was now on top, he took off her bra the rest of the way and let it fall off the end of the bed. He kissed down her neck, biting lightly on her collarbone as he kissed the valley between her breasts. He kissed down her stomach until he reached her jeans. Punk unbuttoned and unzipped her jeans and peeled the tight material off her skin and let them fall to the ground.
Punk kissed up her leg, looking at AJ the whole time as he put his fingers into the sides of her panties and slid them off her body. AJ desperately tried to rid him of his shirt as she pulled him back up to her lips.
Punk helped her remove his shirt as their tongues dueled, but they were forced to break apart so they could remove his shirt. Once his shirt was off, her hands slowly went down his chest and abs to his jeans. She had his jeans off in no time, she then began working on his boxers. Once his boxers were off, Punk looked at AJ as he placed his hands on either side of her head as he slowly thrust into her, waiting for her to nod her head for him to continue as she adjusted to his side.
AJ nodded her head as she wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. He began to move in and out of her, their moans and gasps filling the room.
"Oh, Phil," she moans as he begins to quicken his pace. "Faster, baby, harder,"
Punk took her right leg and put it over his shoulder, making him go deeper inside of her.
"I'm so close," she says.
"Me... too," he says as his finger moves down to rub her clit.
"Phil!" AJ screams as she reaches her climax, him not far behind.
"April!" He shouted as he thrust into her a few more times before pulling out and rolling over, lying down next to her.
Punk pulled AJ closer to him, but their cuddling was interrupted by AJ's phone ringing. She leaned over the bed and grabbed her phone from her jean's pocket.
"Hello?" She answered.
"AJ, your child is a demon." Summer says, sounds of crying in the background.
"I'll be there in five," she says and hangs up as she begins looking for her clothes.
"You left her with Summer?" Punk asks.
"Yes, she's my roommate this week," AJ says pulling on her bra and trying to find her panties. "Punk, where are they?"
"What are you talking about?" He asks innocently.
"My panties," she says marching over to him.
"You mean these?" He asks, pulling out tiny black fabric from behind his back.
"Yes," she says and tries to grab them, but he moves his hand before she can grab them. "Phil, give them back!"
"Nope," he says, pulling on his boxers.
"Fine," she says and pushes him back on the bed, climbing on top of him and grinding against his covered member. This makes him distracted as he throws her panties next to her on the floor, he runs his hands through her hair and pulls her down to kiss him. Once she knows he's hard, she climbs off of him and quickly grabs her panties, pulling them on.
"What?" He asks, sitting up.
"I needed them back," she says as she pulls her jeans on and her shirt. "I'll talk to you tomorrow," she leaves the room and goes to her room. When she enters, Summer is trying to change Harley's diaper.
"She's a demon!" Summer says.
"Calm down, I got this," AJ says as she finishes changing Harley's diaper and puts her in her play pen.
"Where were you?" Summer asks, lying back exhausted on her bed.
"Punk needed to talk to me," she says.
"A booty call? Seriously?" Summer asks. "You went to bang your ex while I watched your demon spawn."
"Yes, because you love me," she says.
"Yeah I do," Summer says. "And the demon spawn," they look at Harley. "So, was it good?"
"Oh yeah," AJ says and both Divas laugh.
"Are you two... getting back together?" Summer asks.
"I don't know," AJ says, running a hand through her hair as she looks at Harley. "For Harley's sake, it's best if we get back together, but... I don't know."
"Do you love him?" Summer asks.
"Yes, of course," she says. "I have a daughter with him, I've loved him for five years."
"Then be with him," Summer says, putting her hand on AJ's shoulder. "You love him, this time I don't think he's using you."
"I'll think about it,"
November 25, 2015
"AJ, your shoes!" Summer says before AJ walks out of the hotel-room, Harley in one arm and her bags in the other. Today is Wednesday and she has no live shows, so she's going home with Harley.
"Dammit!" She says, going back into the room and hands Harley to Summer as she slips her Converse on.
"And her pacifier," Summer says as Harley starts crying and she puts the pacifier in her mouth.
"Thank you," AJ says, standing up. "What would I do without you?"
"You would've left everything except Harley in your hotel-room." Summer says as she grabs her bags and slips her shoes on.
"That's true," she says as she stands up and takes Harley from her. "We can go now,"
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself, and I
Didn't know I was lost
"Summer, wake up, we're here." AJ says, tapping Summer on the head to wake her up as she takes the key out of the ignition after pulling up to her Florida home. About halfway through the trip both Summer and Harley fell asleep.
"Huh?" Summer asks, being pulled out of her slumber and stretching as much as she could in the car. "Oh," she realizes where she is now.
AJ climbs out of the car and gets Harley's car seat as Summer grabs her bags and they walk to the door and she unlocks it, hearing her dogs bark as she opens the door. She sets Harley down on the kitchen table and runs to her car to get her bags as Summer throws her bags on the couch and hears Harley start crying, so she picks her up and bounces her around hoping to sooth her.
AJ entered the house again to hear Harley crying and walks in the kitchen to see Summer desperately trying to calm her down. "She probably wants attention," she says, soon Harley stops crying.
"See," she says, just as there is a knock on the door. "Coming!" She yells as she walks towards the door and opens it. "Phil,"
"I came to see Harley," he says as Summer comes towards the door with Harley.
"Hey, Punk," Summer says.
"Summer," he says, nodding in her direction as he looked back to AJ.
AJ turned her head to look over her shoulder at Summer. "Can you take her upstairs? You know where her nursery is," she says and Summer simply nods her head as she carries Harley upstairs and puts her in her crib and stands near the stairs to listen in.
"Want some coffee?" AJ asks awkwardly.
"Uh... Yeah, sounds good," he says and follows AJ into the kitchen where she starts a pot of coffee.
"Look about last night..." Punk trails off. "I... I meant everything I said."
"I know," AJ says, turning around to face him. "I know you love Harley and me, you wouldn't be here if you didn't. You want to be in her life and I have no right to not let you see her. I... I think that, for her sake, we should... try to make us work."
"Really?" He asks, sort of surprised.
AJ bites her bottom lip and smiles, nodding her head. Punk picks her up and hugs her, he then moves back slightly to kiss her. "I love you," she says after their kiss breaks.
"I love you too," he says as Summer enters the kitchen.
"You're back together!" She squeals as she pulls them into a group hug.
"Why are you so happy?" AJ asks, breaking the hug.
"Oh... um... Paige and I made a bet. I said you two would get back together within a year and Paige said you wouldn't." Summer says. "I won a hundred bucks!" She pulls her phone out of her pocket. "Can I get a kiss or something?" Punk kisses AJ and Summer snaps the picture. "Suck it, Paige!"
AJ and Punk laugh as they kiss again and Summer runs off into the other room.
September 24, 2016
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself, and I
Didn't know I was lost
"I can't believe she's one already!" AJ says, putting her hair in a ponytail. Today is Harley's first birthday and their having a party for a one year old at Punk's house that is now both his and AJ's. After they got back together, they decided to hyphen Harley's name to Harley Brooks-Mendez and picked out a middle name for her, Nattie. They decided on Nattie because of Natalya, who convinced AJ not to get an abortion and really saved their relationship by getting pregnant and her blood getting mixed with Brie's and that whole mess.
Brie and Daniel got back together and got actually married, now they're expecting twins. Two boys.
Nikki finally found a guy who treats her right, Dolph. Surprisingly, the two had always had unresolved feelings from dating in the past and are currently engaged after nine months of dating. Their wedding is set for New Year's Eve.
Paige was a wreck after her sudden break up with Seth after their massive argument over her storyline with Kane. She's currently single and happier that way, her and Kane developed an unbreakable friendship as they still work together.
Soon after Punk and AJ got back together, Summer was shocked to discover she was expecting with her former dance partner, Fandango, or Johnny as everyone calls him still from his former character, Johnny Curtis. They have a two month old baby girl they named, Jamie. Both aren't in a relationship, but are amazing parents to her.
As for Kaitlyn, who left WWE without much warning years ago, she's happily married with a two year old son, she tries to visit AJ as often as she can and her goddaughter, Harley.
"It's almost like yesterday I met her." Punk says, walking into the bathroom. "I can't believe she's walking and talking already."
"I know," AJ says and turns towards him and pouts. "Soon she'll be eighteen and will leave us. And have a boyfriend,"
"No boy is going near my daughter," Punk says. The other Superstars love Harley and she has grown on some of the meanest ones, all of them are very protective over her and will be when she gets older.
AJ laughs as Punk bends down to kiss her and they hear the doorbell ring. "Kaitlyn!" AJ says, running past Punk and down the stairs to the door and opens it to see a crying Kaitlyn.
"I'm getting a divorce," she cries and AJ hugs her after the shock wore off.
Punk followed the sounds of crying, thinking it was Harley, but seeing it was Kaitlyn crying into AJ's shoulder. The doorbell rings again and Punk opens it to find Cody, alone, which is unusual because whenever he comes over so does Eden.
"Where's Eden?" Punk asks, slightly confused. About two months after they found out they were having a baby, Eden miscarried and their relationship has been rocky ever since.
"Oh, we're getting a divorce," Cody says like it's nothing, shocking Punk. "Need any help with decorating? I hear crying," he steps inside to see Kaitlyn crying into AJ's shoulder. "Did her husband cheat on her again?"
"Again?!" Kaitlyn asks angrily then continues crying into her friend's shoulder.
"Sorry," Cody says.
"Come on, you can help me pick up the cake." Punk says, grabbing his jacket and car keys.
"Cake for a one year olds birthday?" Cody asks as Punk shuts the door behind them.
"AJ's idea,"
The party started at 2:00 PM that afternoon, every Superstar and Diva came to celebrate the one year olds birthday. After Kaitlyn calmed down, AJ handed her to Cody and they seemed to be able to talk about their divorces easily.
AJ is sitting at the table, holding Harley on her lap, with a very pregnant Brie, Nikki, Paige and Summer, who is holding Jamie. "They're... really hitting it off," AJ says, looking at Kaitlyn and Cody.
"Yeah," Summer says. "So did Johnny and me, but that got me this." She tapped Jamie on the nose.
"I can't believe it," Brie says, resting a hand on her seven month pregnant stomach. "Nikki is getting married in a few months, AJ and Punk are finally together, Daniel and me are expecting twins, Summer you have Jamie, Kaitlyn is coming back to the WWE next month. Paige, you're happy being single. We've grown since our start."
"Some more than others," Nikki says, tapping her sister's stomach with her finger.
"Hey, those are your nephews," Brie says.
"What about you and Johnny, Summer?" AJ asks. "I've seen the way he looks at you, he wants more than co-parenting."
Summer turns around to look at Johnny. "Never again,"
"I still can't believe we're happy." Nikki says. "I'm a year sober, it's... weird,"
"We worked so hard to get this happiness." Paige says. "When I started, I was desperate for attention."
"When I started, I fell in love my third week." AJ says, looking across the room at Punk.
"When I started, I fell for the same guy," Brie says and laughs. "Can you imagine I nearly had his baby? Twice,"
"Twice?!" All the girls ask, turning towards Brie.
"Did I say twice?" She asks nervously. "I meant once," she looks across the room as she takes a sip of her drink.
"When I started, I was an attention whore." Nikki says.
"When I started, I thought I knew what I wanted." Summer says and looks down at Jamie. "But I didn't realize I wanted something different until I had it."
"We were a mess," AJ says. "God, if we went back to our past selves and told them how much better our lives would get, what would our reactions be?"
"Pure shock," Paige says.
After the party ended, everyone stayed to help clean up. Cody and Kaitlyn left together and so did Summer and Johnny. Harley fell asleep soon after everyone left and AJ ran to the bathroom, leaving Punk confused.
"Baby, what's going on?" Punk asks as AJ opens the bathroom door and hands him a pregnancy test. "You're...?"
AJ nods her head and smiles as Punk lifts her up and kisses her, when he puts her down, he pulls a red velvet box out of his pocket and gets down on one knee.
"April Jeanette Mendez," he says as AJ puts a hand over her mouth as tears roll down her cheeks. "Will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?"
AJ can't get any words out, so she just nods her head. "Yes," is all she can say as Punk slides the ring on her finger and she gets on her knees and kisses him.
"I love you,"
June 16, 2017
I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is a prize
"Come on April, just one more push!" Punk says as AJ screams as she pushes out her and Punk's baby. Today was supposed to be their wedding day, since AJ's tattoo on the back of her neck was this day so the tattoo would be the day she won her first Diva's championship and her wedding day, but instead it's her first Diva's championship win and the day her and Punk's new baby was born.
AJ was about to put on her wedding dress with the help of Paige and Kaitlyn, but suddenly was feeling stabbing pains in her lower back and Brie ran to get Punk then after that, her water broke and they were quickly at the hospital.
"Ahh!" AJ screams as she pushes out a baby boy.
"It's a boy!" Punk says and smiles, now crying as he leans down to kiss AJ, resting his forehead against hers. "You did it,"
"I did it," she says, panting as they hand her the baby wrapped in a blanket.
"He's beautiful," Punk says. "What should we name him?"
"I like Peter," AJ says through her tears.
"Peter," he says and smiles again. "Hello, Peter,"
July 16, 2017
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself, and I
Didn't know I was lost
A month after Peter's birth and they finally get to get married. AJ had to alter her dress again after altering it to fit her pregnant belly.
Since Harley's birthday, Brie and Daniel had their twin boys, Carter and Ryan.
Nikki and Dolph got married and a week later announced they were expecting. Later they found out it was not one child, not two, but three kids, that made Dolph faint and instantly get a vasectomy. Two girls and one boy, that was enough for the both of them to handle. Nikki was happy with the two girls she could dress up like her and Dolph was happy with the one boy he could play with in the backyard of their home.
Summer and Johnny are dating, finally, they realized that fighting all the time over how they wanted to raise Jamie wasn't good and that making decisions together in a relationship was best.
Kaitlyn and Cody got together, Kaitlyn hoping for a ring once both of their divorces were finalized.
Stephanie and Triple-H got remarried after he retired and went back to being COO. It started with them hooking up one night and her ending up pregnant, again.
"I can't believe Punk and me are finally getting married." AJ says in total shock as the dress zips up with ease.
"Neither can we," Brie says, Nikki zipping up the floor length red bridesmaids dresses with the thin straps on her arms.
"I can't believe I'm six months," Nikki says, sitting down in a chair nearby after Brie struggled to pull up the zipper on her dress. Being pregnant with triplets was making it a lot harder to fit into anything and her dress was fitted a week ago!
Kaitlyn puts the veil on AJ's head and she begins to cry. "No, you'll mess up your makeup!" Maryse says, six months pregnant herself. AJ asked her if she wanted to do the hair and makeup and she said yes, but she isn't a bridesmaid. "I was like this on my wedding day," she says, fixing AJ's veil correctly. "I was an emotional wreck, but so was Mike."
AJ laughs as she wipes her tears and Miz comes in the room. "Ready?" He asks her and she turns around and nods her head. He came in the room with Peter in his little tuxedo and holding a pillow with the rings on it, Miz holding onto it to make sure he won't knock it over.
"He's so cute!" AJ says and starts to cry again.
"Save the tears for the vows." Paige says as she takes Harley's hand, she would be the flower girl with the help of Paige, who insisted she not walk with a groomsman, who would've been Miz.
They left the hotel they were all staying at to drive the five minutes to the beach near the arena where FCW used to be at, which is where they first met. They lined up, Miz and Peter then Paige and Harley behind them, Paige making sure Harley wouldn't throw a tantrum while walking down the aisle and to make sure she threw the flowers and in the air and not at Paige, while Miz made sure Peter wouldn't throw the rings in the sand. Next was Nikki and Daniel, then Brie and Triple-H, then Summer and Cody, then Kaitlyn and Kofi, the maid of honor and best man. Then finally, AJ. Vince had insisted he marry them.
When they got to the vows part, AJ went first. "Phil," she started as she handed her bouquet to Kaitlyn so she could read her vows. "I met you, not far from here, when I was on FCW years ago. You stuck up for me when others were a little bit harsh due to my size." She looks to Miz and John and everyone laughs. "We never had a real conversation until the twenty-first of September 2010 when you flirted with me through commentary. I knew from then that I was in love with you. I didn't want to accept it, but I gave in. I fell in love with a jerk, but I changed you. And now, seven years later, we have two beautiful children and I am happy. I love you," by now everyone is in tears, including Punk.
"April," he starts. "I was unlovable, I was unable to be loved or have the ability to love. I was so afraid of being in love that I didn't even try. That was until I met you. My walls were up, but you broke them down. I didn't believe in love before you. Everyday you challenge me to be a better person, to be the best father I can be to our children. I look at you everyday and wonder how I deserve someone as amazing as you. I really do love you,"
"Please hurry this up so I can kiss him." AJ says through her tears as everyone laughs.
"The rings, please," Vince says as Paige picks up Harley, who is holding her father's wedding ring as Miz holds Peter and hands Punk AJ's ring. Harley gives AJ a kiss on the cheek as she hands her the ring then Paige brings Harley over to kiss Punk on the cheek as well.
"April, put the ring on Phil's finger and repeat after me." Vince says as AJ puts the ring on Punk's finger. After AJ repeats him, Punk does the same.
"You may now kiss your bride." Vince says as AJ kisses Punk very similar to their kiss at the Great American Bash over five years ago.
"I can't believe we're married," AJ says as she walks out if the bathroom at their hotel in a black silk robe as she looks at her wedding ring. "I'm so happy!"
"But we aren't married, April," Punk says as AJ looks at him confused as she climbs on the bed.
"What do you mean?" She asks, tilting her head to the side in confusion.
"This is a dream you've had this story dream for a week." Punk says. "This wedding never happened, Harley and Jake were never born you're still General Manager. It's been a week long dream, every time you went to bed, you would dream of this fantasy." He says and she begins to cry. "I broke your heart almost a week ago, April this is what you wish happened after that."

"AJ!" She hears her name being called. "April!" She is shaken out of her dream turned nightmare by Kaitlyn. "Did you have that dream again?" She asks, sitting on the edge of AJ's bed, rubbing her eyes since she woke up to AJ talking in her sleep for the seventh time that week.
"Yes, except... it felt so real," AJ says, sitting up.
"It wasn't real, April," Kaitlyn says. "Punk broke your heart, you just wish that happened."
"Yeah, yeah," she says and looks at the clock. "Shit, its 7:00, we have to go!"
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know
A/N: The song used was "Wake Me Up" - Avicii. Please look out for this story's sequel "Wide Awake" and my HIMYM/WWE AU that doesn't have a title yet. This ending will make much more sense once Wide Awake is up.
...And now I wait for the death threats...
