A/N: I think this is the longest chapter I have EVER written. i hope you all enjoyed this story cause I know I enjoyed reading your reviews[hinthint]. Side notes is I did get a little sloppy towards the end since I have to go to work in an hour and I really wanted this to be up on Valentine's Day. Hopefully this makes the holiday better for you if your single like me or have to work like me. More details on upcoming stories and updates will be at the bottom.


It's Royal Rumble again. It's also my birthday. I wasn't born in this city though, but my parents, uncle Colt and all the WWE superstars are seemed to going nuts. I'm seven years old standing alone in the middle of the ring surrounded by empty seats that will be filled in a few hours, the tech hands that don't notice me or just ignore me while they work, a few superstars are testing their weight on the ropes and jumping on the mat making sure that the ring won't collapse and everything is just right so when they do the hard falls they won't get any serious injury. They could still get injured from it, but better to know the mat won't cause it.

I look over at the announce table where Micheal Cole and Jerry Lawler still sit. Both of which show me a wave when they notice me looking their way. I wave back, but my focus isn't on them so much. Uncle Cole told me of how my mother's water broke right before the end of the match. My dad also told me how Uncle screamed like a little girl. They also told me because of that my father ended up losing the championship to Uncle Dwayne. Still apparently my birth became more wide spread news than the upset victory.


"Colt if you don't shut up I'm going to rip out your tongue!" This threat was voice by both of the VERY soon to be parents. Both shoot their friend a glare, while he was rambling about all the different things he had read, heard and rehearsed that now was just coming out in such a jumble of random facts and words that no one understood a thing coming out of his mouth.

AJ had finally gotten backstage and away from prying eyes and camera phones. She had been put in an ambulance with Punk and taken to the nearest hospital. Colt had come with some of the other WWE superstars that were eager to see the baby. Including John Cena, Paul Heyman, Kofi, Ryder, Kaitlyn, Sheamus, Rollins, Reign, Ambrose, and Big E.

When AJ arrived at the hospital though she was still not far enough apart so it have been about an hour since they arrived and she still had 4 more centimeters to dialate. They had gotten a private room and the group of large muscled men, mostly still in ring gear were getting looks and stares. Especially Rock who had signed about 20 autographs already.

AJ whined in exhaustion. She just wanted to sleep, but she couldn't. "I want to go home." She muttered.

"Just awhile longer, it only took an hour for 4 centimeters so you should be ready soon." Kaitlyn assured stroking AJ's hair.

AJ let out another scream as the next contraction hit.


I saw the pictures after I finally came. There is one for each person that showed up. Cena's forearm was bigger than my entire body…though that was true for just about everyone. There is even one for Vince, Triple H, and Stephanie surprisingly enough. I think it's because they were paying for the hospital and even if dad didn't like his bosses mom does.

It's been seven years since I was born. Dad doesn't wrestle anymore, but he only stopped about 2 years ago when I started school. Though that isn't entirely true, he got a job working with Ring of Honor managing and helping newer talent learn the trade. Mom wrestles with WWE still and is defending the title against Paige tonight. I love watching mom wrestle and so does dad. We got front row seats that I can see from here, so mom will be able to see us when she comes out.

Still a lot went on after my birth. My father couldn't even be with me and mom the following day since he had to go to Raw. While mom and I were still stuck at the hospital in Arizona.


A new song popped through the speakers, but the video feed told everyone just who was coming out. A remixed version of Against Me!'s Teenage Anarchist played to the newly edited video giving a montage for the one and only CM Punk. He came out with the same air of confidence as he moved down to the ring and up the ramp. If they had been announcing over and over people might have thought that he won the match last night from his attitude, but of course the championship was not with Punk or Paul Heyman.

Punk grabbed a microphone from the top of the steel steps before entering the ring and standing in the center. "I hope Rocky is happy with his victory over me cause there won't be a repeat. What Rock did was a fluke and just a matter of pure lucky on his part. For anyone that wasn't watching or didn't already hear through twitter or tout or…does anyone use facebook?" Punk played looking to Paul Heyman who only shrugged his shoulders and mouthed words that did not even matter to Punk, but were for the camera and the fans.

"See AJ was a ring side last night along with my best friend Colt. And she just happened to go into labor seconds before my match with Rocky ended. See I was distracted and that is the only reason Rock was able to put me down with the Rock Bottom and get the count." Punk explained bitterly.

"So suck it up Rocky! Sure you're already famous with your movies, but that championship around your waist will not be there for much longer. See that championship is mine! And it is going to return to me in 3 weeks at the Elimination chamber." Punk announced.

While Punk continued to steam in the ring The Rock came out with his music blaring, a mircrophone and a smile…Also with the WWE Championship over his shoulder. "Punk, say what you want. This championship is staying with the People's Champ!" Rock declared getting a pop from the crowd. "Now why don't you go be a responsible baby daddy! You shouldn't be trying to pick a fight you can't win when I'm sure there is some dirty diapers that need changing if you baby is anything like you."

"And if you don't understand what The Rock is saying then let me put it in terms even you can understand. You're full o-"

"Rock!" The shocking sound was heard of the female voice that even left Punk perplexed until the titanron turned on and showed the image of AJ. In her arms was the small bundle of blankets that held her and Punk's daughter. "See I suggest you choose your words VERY carefully. I maybe in the hospital right now, but I don't have to be there. Watch your back, Rocky." The screen went black, after she stopped speaking.

Rock's eyes were on the blank screen that was not turning back into the regular live stream. Instead it changed to a dingy back room. Three men showing up on the screen with barely any light around them in the secluded area. "We already have our orders tonight. We're going to correct the injustice!" Rollins spoke into the camera with a close up on his face.

The camera made a shaky and forced switch to the next man. "You should have never gotten the shot at that title Rocky! And we're going to make sure that it doesn't stay with you any longer." Dean Ambrose spoke.

"You need to stop living in the past!" Seth called out.

"This isn't a movie. There are no retakes, there no stunt doubles, and there is no mercy." Roman Reigns spoke in his ominous deep voice, not shouting like the either two, but just as threatening.

The camera then panned to a few of the three together, seconds before the area lights were cut. In the crowd were some cries of fear, mostly from the children or women. When they cut back on all three members of the Shield were assaulting The Rock, easily outnumbering him and over powering him. Punk watched on making a look of horror that did nothing to cover the amusement. He backed his body up colliding with something that was not the ropes. Turning his head he looked up to Bid E Langstan. She chill ran up his spine and before he could stop it he had been lifted into the air and dropped with force onto the mat. He curled with pain and coughed knowing this was all a part of the angle even if he hadn't known about it before.


In the end dad didn't get his title back that time though. He had it three more times since then though none compared to his over yearlong title reign. He also got another World Heavyweight title that did last even longer than his WWE title reign. Dad gave up that one though on purpose since the pressure of being on Raw and Smackdown and all the house shows was too much for his body and too much time not being with me and mom.

"Pepper!"

I turn and look to the current WWE champion, Seth Rollins. He is one of my favorite wrestlers, but he's also kind of a friend and uncle of sorts. He still has the signature two-toned hair he had around the time I was born, but not it is shorter. I hope down from my place in the ring and walk toward him, dodging any of the techs still preparing for tonight.

"Pepper, your parents are looking for you." He told her not scolding or accusing her of running off even if she kind of did. Her parents were never that worried with her wandering around backstage. All her summer vacations from school she would be on the road with them and after about the hundredth disappearing act she had they kind of gave up. I was never hurt though and usually I would have found one of my many "uncles" or "aunts" to play with.


"Punk is going to kill us!" Zack cried out.

"I'm more worried about AJ killing us than Punk! Her pregnancy was scary enough! I don't even want to think of what she'll do to us if we hurt Pepper!" Colt sobbed.

"We didn't do anything to her." Zack reasoned thinking it might be a helpful to their survival.

"We lost her!" Colt cried out immediately tossing out Zack's conclusion. "Seriously, I blame would not be happening if didn't have such a big house! Also that kid is not crawling she's running when we aren't looking. I'm sure of it!" Colt argued hysterically. He tugged on his hair as he tried to think.

"Are you boys OK?" A female voice questioned.

Both men looked over at the older woman, their eyes drawn to the small child in her arms. "Pepper! Where did you find her?" Colt questioned stepping closer to get a better look at the child and be sure there wasn't any injuries.

"She was playing with Pancake. They were in the hallway from the front door when I found them." Charlie answered. She bounced her grand-daughter in her arms, "You both seemed so worried about something?"

"Of course! Pepper disappeared!" Zack confessed.

Colt slapped him for his loud declaration giving the man a glare. "Don't tell Punk's mom that!" He reminded.

"I wouldn't worry boys. AJ and Punk hardly go searching for her since she started crawling. Really they just put up the baby proof doors so she can only stay on one floor." Charlie explained.

Colt and Zack's eyes both looked to the plastic short door that they had broken earlier. Their guilty eyes turned back to the two females. Virginia laughing and clapping her hands she pointed at the two.


"Virginia, you're still sneaking off." John Cena teased me. He slapped my back as gently as he could manage but the contact still hurt some. I am kind of used to it though. "So who's your pick for Royal Rumble this year?" John asked.

"Number 13." I answer, giving a knowing smile as if I already knew the lot numbers that had yet to be drawn.

"You would pick 13, doll." Dean Ambrose teased ruffling my hair as he walked up.

"Where are mom and dad?" I ask looking up at the muscled men around me.

"Got called to a meeting with Paul, they should be coming around soon." Kofi answered.

I smiled as I sat in the chair surronded by my uncles. They were also around when I was growing up and just as much a part of my life as my parents.


"Who does that brat he think he is?" Punk muttered darkly.

It was Virginia's first birthday party after starting school. Punk could not tear his worried eyes away from his daughter's presence and the presence that followed her, a young boy from Virginia's class that Punk was ready to physically tear away from his daughter.

"They're like five Punk, nothing is going to happen." Kofi reasoned with him. "Plus there are lots of boys here."

"I should have told her girls only." Punk groaned tossing his head into his hands.

"I'm with Punk on this. Too close now could mean too close later." Sheamus agreed.

"You know they go to school every day together. You can't watch them then." John added.

"That's what you think." Punk muttered.

"Do not tell me you are stalking your daughter!" Kofi shouted, but the noise could not be heard by anyone else since the children's playing drowned it out.

"No…there is a gps in the phone I gave her and I text her during her class." Punk explained as if it were rational.

"How many times have you gotten her in trouble for that?" John questioned.

"After about the 15th time the teachers kind of just gave up punishing her. They did give me a limit on number of times I can text her." Punk explained.

"Father of the year." The female voice teased. The men looked over to April, Kaitlyn, Nikki, and Brie with Daniel behind them. April stepped over giving a kiss to Punk's lips that he gently returned. "Be good today. And you all are ready today right?" She looked around at the men all dressed in ring gear.

"Yes. And you know when you invited us to the birthday AJ we didn't think it was going to be for work." Miz complained as he came up to them. His wife, Maryse, next to him and hold their 3 year old son.

"Pepper wanted a private wrestling show. We even rented an actual ring." AJ explained looking over to the set up ring that a portion of the kids were jumping on or play fighting on. "Oh and leave Anthony alone." AJ added sternly.

"That brat's name is Anthony!" Punk howled before letting of a loud groan.

"I don't think you need to worry about her Punk." Kofi said.

"I'm her father. The whole point of my job is to worry." Punk explained.

"I just think she can protect her, at least from Anthony." Kofi explained.

"Yeah, look at the ring." Daniel added point to the center of the wrestling ring.

Virginia had Anthony pinned on his stomach with her knee on his back and pulling against his arm, twisting it slightly. She released him before running to the ropes. "Daddy!" She called waving over at him.

Punk smiled waving back and letting go of a heavy sigh.

"Hi Uncle Goat-face!" Virginia called out sending the men into a fit of laughter as Daniel fumed yelling at Punk.


"Virginia."

My head looks up to my mother. My baby brother that is barely a year old now is clinging to her. I smile at the sight. It is kind of rare for mom to be around most of the time. And even though she was with me until I started school she had not had as much time with Logan. "Hi."

"Can you take care of your brother for a little while? I need to get changed." Mom asks me.

I hold my arms out taking my small brother away I notice why mom needs to change. She's already dressed for her match, but there is soaked in drool and spit-up that stains her clothes. I only smile since laughing would be rude. She kisses me head in thanks before dashing away.

I look down to my brother sitting on my leg. There were a lot of problems before he was born. Mom and Dad were hardly together and when they were they were fighting. It was hard to watch and friends at school were telling me that they would get a divorce. I would hide in my rooms most of those days. I would put my head phones on and listen music as loud as I could, even putting my head under my pillow sometimes to block out the worst of the sounds.

It was a few weeks after their last fight that mom came home unexpected. She told dad that they sent her home since she was sick and throwing up. Even saying how she puked on Uncle John. Then they both went really quiet. They called the doctor and mom went that same day. Once they said she was pregnant all the fight just stopped entirely. Like all the other problems went away so they could focus on Logan. So I was glad when they told me…I think my parents are freaks.


"So he knocked her up again." Colt commented not even bothering to watch his tongue as Virginia sat right next to him, only serving to get himself punched in the arm by Kaitlyn.

"I'm glad I thought they were going to break up." Zack commented earning himself a punch in the arm as well just this time from Kofi.

"I don't know how they had time to have sex. They were fighting all the time." Virginia added only getting shocked and horried stares for her blunt language. She took a nonchalant sip of the juice in her hands.

"Virginia…how do you know that word?" Kofi asked warrying.

"Hmm, well daddy told me that to have a baby a mommy and daddy have to have sex. He said that people are only suppose to do it with people they really love." Virginia reiterated watching all those around her bow their heads in horror or shame.

"He would actually tell his daughter that." John said.

"This is Punk we're talking about. We're lucky he didn't tell the mechanics of it." Kofi added further lowering his head in shame for his once road wife.

Virginia blinked not knowing what her father did wrong.


Royal Rumble is my favorite pay-per-view if I haven't already said that. I get to sit front row and I'm holding my baby brother. I don't know where dad went still, but I guess he's talking to some of his old work friends. Which isn't bad to me since every time he shows up people immediately recognize him and he might as well be a part of the show. Uncle Colt is with me anyway so there isn't any problem there.

I watch my mother come out onto the ramp. Logan starts squirm and shout like he's cheering for mom also. She comes right over to us giving both of us a kiss. Uncle Colt pretends to be next in line, but he only gets a hand in his face and people laughing at his antics as mom enters the ring.

Once Paige is out the match starts. I pass Logan to Colt so I can cheer on mom better. Every once in a while I lock eyes with her and she always smiles. At the end of the match Paige is tapping to get out of the Anaconda Vise, originally part of my father's skill set but once he retired mom added it to hers as well.

I don't pay much attention to the World Heavy Weight Championship match or WWE Champion ship match. I never feel like I can cheer for one uncle over another. I only shout when they do something wrong or if one of the take a painful fall. Plus I'm still waiting for what I think is the best match of the night.


Number 1 and 2 this year are Victor Steerling and Big E. And even with the obvious disadvantage in height Victor does well to fend of Big E's monstrous form.

Superstars are coming and going. Big E was already eliminated by Roman Reigns who came in 8th. Ryback comes in at 12 and starts picking up the pieces of the men who have been exhausted since their entrance including Victor who gets tossed over the top rope literally. I watch the clock on the screen tick down with anticipation.

10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1!

My jaw drops in unison with everyone else's. My father runs out onto the stage with a large smile as he soaks in the cheers of the devoted fans that have missed his presence. Now I know where my father has been for the past hours. He doesn't waste any time after his signature entrance as he moves to the ring sliding inside. He ducks beneath Ryback's clothes and does a roundhouse kicks to the beast's skull.

I clasp my hands together almost praying for my father's victory even though I know it isn't possible. Still he gets to make to the final 5 along side Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, Zack Ryder, and Bo Dallas. Everyone is shocked though when he climbs over the top rope himself and goes down to the floor. All the men in the ring stare at him not knowing what to think. He walks over to me and my brother and I don't even care how sweaty he is when he hugs me and lifts me over the barricade. He carries me with him up the ramp and before taking us both backstage he yells out, "BEST IN THE WORLD!"


A/N: I hope you all liked this. I really wanted to sort of shift the focus to be on Virginia a little more than AJ and Punk, so sorry if you were hoping for some fluff scenes. I do want to explain that the reason Punk took himself out of the Royal Rumble at the end here was what I think of as something Punk would do. Remember this is set years from now and Punk's had his championship matches and a full career so he didn't want to take those same opportunties that he's already had away from them. Also Victor Steerling is a local wrestler where I live and could actually be called to WWE development soon[he's good so I hope he does].

Other than all that. Hostage and just about every other story I have for AJPunk is due for an update. I am working on Hostage a lot more right now and should have an update at least by next week since my work load lightens up after this week. Also I have the story Demonic Salvation in the works, but I'm going to hold off of posting it until I get a firm grasp of where I want the story to go. No Winners, I have the idea of turning this into a series of stories, so this part itself will be 3-4 more chapters and then there will be another story 'TBA' that will pick up around 7 monthes after the end of No Winners.

Once again thanks to everyone who stuck around this long and who have stayed devoted to this pair AJPunk4Life
