A/N: So first things first I owe you all an apology and not just for the lack updates but the lack of creativity; I hit writers block with this story and never recovered. I loved this idea of this story but just had a hard time laying it out and the fact that so many of you have had such nice things to say and have continued to review means a lot to me so THANK YOU. Next story is up in the air I'm not sure if I'm doing a sequel or a new AU but I want to think it all out before I get started so I don't hit another block.

As for this story I enjoyed writing it and I think the epilogue is short and sweet and just the right way to close out this story. Thank you all again. :)

Epilogue

"It's the big day little man." Punk said adjusting his tie in the mirror but looking at the reflection of his son sitting in his chair also in a suit.

The wedding didn't take long to plan and they were finally getting their dream ceremony.

"He can't even give a speech at the wedding." Colt said bitterly picking up Anthony. "Why does he get to be best man?"

"Because he's my son." Punk stated proudly. "He's always going to be my best man."

"You've really been on cloud nine these last few weeks, did you knock AJ up again?" Colt asked seriously and Punk rolled his eyes.

"Billy was going to try to fight for custody of Anthony." Punk confided and Colt's face fell.

"And that makes you happy?" Colt asked stunned. "Oh my god you killed him this morning and that's why you're so happy."

"No you idiot." Punk scoffed putting his shoes on. "AJ and I did a DNA test and without a doubt Anthony is mine."

"I kind of assumed he does look like you." Colt chuckled. "But I'm glad you're finally at peace with it."

"I am." Punk said happily. "Not that a test would have changed how I feel about him I'm just relieved that I don't have to share him with that psychopath."
"Yea, you're not big on sharing." Colt teased. "I'm happy for you."

"Thanks." Punk said standing up and taking Anthony from Colt.

"You've got your wife back, you've got a baby and I know you're feeling their loss a little more today but I know your dad and PJ are happy for you too." Colt said with a soft smile.

"I wish I believed in that kind of stuff." Punk admitted.

"I'll believe for you." Colt smirked slapping his shoulder. "Are you nervous?"

"I've been married to the woman for six years." Punk reminded him with a grin.

"It's the first time you're actually having a real ceremony and both families are here." Colt noted. "Last time I was the witness."

"AJ's parents are here?" Punk asked and he nodded.

"Her mom doesn't look thrilled but her dad is excited to walk her down the aisle." Colt said to him.

"I want this day to be perfect for her." Punk sighed. "After everything she deserves this day. She deserved this day six years ago."

"You two didn't have a lot options back then." Colt reminded him.

"I just wish I could go back in time sometimes." Punk admitted.

"Don't start this day with regret." Colt said to him. "This is supposed to be a fresh start and everything that has happened lead you to this moment."

"You're right." Punk agreed. "Well, I think it's time." He said then looked at Anthony. "Are you ready?" he smirked and Anthony just laughed at his dad's face.

They walked out the door but Punk stopped short.

"I left the rings in the room." Punk said passing Anthony to Colt.

"This is why I would have been a better best man." Colt mumbled under his breath taking the baby. "We'll meet you up there." he said walking off.

Punk went back into the room and grabbed the rings and slipped them into his pocket as he was walking to follow Colt he heard a little boy giggle and turned his head quickly and looked down the empty hallway.

"Grandpa's gonna get you!" an older man who sounded like his father said.

Punk slowly began to walk in the other direction towards the voices.

"We're going to be late." he heard his father say.

"We have the best seats in the house Grandpa." The little boy laughed.

Punk now ran down the hall and looked down the corridor but no one was there. Punk's eyes watered up as he walked by the window and in search for anything or even to just hear their voices again. When he looked out the window he saw a single red balloon flying away. Punk placed his hand on the window and watched it fly off.

"Phil?" A voice questioned and he turned around at the sound of his wife's voice.

"Wow." He said in awe of her. Her dress was lace and hugged her body perfectly, the vale was the perfect touch. "You look beautiful." he said sincerely.

"Thank you." She said with half a smile.

"You still can't take compliment after all of these years." He said to her.

"What's wrong?" she asked walking to him and running her thumb gently over his cheek where there were tear stains. "Trying to sneak out the window?" she teased.

"No I thought-" He started looking back out the window then back to her. "It doesn't matter."

"You seem upset." She frowned.

"No the opposite of that actually." Punk said to her. "I thought I heard my dad." and AJ instantly smiled at him.

"I'm sure he's here." AJ said adjusting his tie.

"He was with PJ." He told her. "I heard him and I know I wasn't hearing things. Do you think I'm crazy?"

"Not at all." She said with a sad smile and felt her own eyes begin to water up. "I feel them here with us."

"I don't believe in this stuff but I saw my dad and he went this way but there's no way out-" Punk began.

"You don't have to be religious to believe your family is here in some sort of fashion." AJ assured him taking his hands into her own.

"I miss them." Punk said looking down at their connected hands.

"I miss them too." AJ sniffled. "But they're here for us tonight."

"They are." He agreed locking eyes with her. "I have everyone here that I need."

"Are you ready to do this?" She asked wiping her own eyes now.

"I've been ready for the last six years." Punk said relieved. "After all of these years you're still the love of my life."

"It wasn't exactly love at first sight." She reminded him cutely.

"Eh, I loved you but I also loved not being in jail." Punk teased. "I know we have had our problems but-"

"-I don't want to live in the past Phil." She said cutting him off. "I don't want to think of our time apart I just want to move on with you and Anthony."

"We will." He promised raising her hand to his lips and kissing it.

"I love you Phil." She whispered.

"I love you." He whispered back.
