Fix You
A.J and Punk had been through complete hell on this night, not only had John Laurinitus explained that A.J's pregnancy was going to be placed in the storyline, but he had also said that Daniel would still be taking part in this. Kane of course decided that it wasn't a wise thing to do as she would be put in risk so he decided that he would back off after No Way Out tonight, Daniel however had smirked and proclaimed the idea was amazing.
He had claimed that it would spike their ratings up, but that wasn't the case -he was sure of it. He knew deep down Daniel rued the day he let A.J go and all he was trying to do is get them to break-up and just force them apart from each other, but he was wiser than that.
"Phil?"
His head snapped towards A.J, she only ever called him by his real name when she was truly worried or scared. He signaled for her to come over and pulled her into a hug. She was shaking a bit and he knew she was scared of putting herself in danger like that, but now it just wasn't her it was her baby as well.
"I'm going to talk to Paul about this, I'm not playing nice anymore," Punk growled
"Baby, I appreciate it and trust me I'm scared too but going to Paul won't make things better, so calm down okay?" she smiled at him
"We have to get you out of this storyline, I refuse to even let you be around Daniel in this condition," he sighed, "you could get hurt."
"I'll be fine," she chuckled, "so calm down baby you'll go out there kick some red monster and goat face butt and we'll go home."
"Alright," he smiled as he placed a small kiss on her forehead before walking back to his bag and beginning to wrap his tape around his arms.
A.J sat on the bench as Marigold explained all the necessary things she had to get for her baby, since she had taken it upon herself to be the nanny. A.J thought she looked funny the way she looked so serious about what she was saying and the way her pink hair just stood out from the strand of brunette curls.
"YOU GOTTA GET TOYS TOO," she cheered, "but dollies so I can play too."
"Okay," A.J smiled
"Is uncle Phil gonna take care of the baby too?" she asked
"Yes, sweetie," A.J smiled
"That's good, cause daddy never took care of me when I was a baby," she sighed softly
A.J frowned, this little girl was slowly becoming her world and to see her ache over someone who wasn't worth it hurt her deeply. Sure Adam provided her with a future and a so on but he wasn't there, and that's what Marigold needed a father figure, not just random superstars she chose to call 'Uncle'. She was surprised she didn't call Punk 'daddy', because in A.J's eyes he was more of a father figure than Adam ever was for this little girl, she couldn't imagine how Lita coped without Adam there all the time.
"Well, it's nothing to worry about because you now have me to take care of you," A.J smiled
"Does my daddy not love me?" Marigold asked hugging Henry tighter
A.J's heart felt like it was ready to break, she didn't deserve this; she was a kind and sweet little girl. When they got back home she'd have a talk with Adam, she didn't care if he was a Hall of Famer, or anything she was going to set him straight and make sure that Marigold never felt unloved again.
"He loves you very much, but not as much as I do," A.J smiled as she opened her arms
Marigold smiled and hugged her auntie really tightly, "I love you very much too, auntie."
"Good, cause even when the baby comes you'll still be my favorite girl," she smiled
"Good," Marigold smiled
Punk was done and sure enough 'nanny' Kaitlyn walked through the door with a huge tub that was marked 'STUFF'. A.J chuckled and Punk sighed deeply, he was in for a big mess when he returned and that frustrated him.
"NANNY KAITLYN," Marigold cheered
Punk had allowed Kaitlyn to babysit as A.J put it because Kaitlyn was the only person that hadn't failed to keep Marigold at her sight, he had decided his road wife was only allowed to visit and not baby sit. He had also yet to hear from Curtis and that girlfriend of his as they hadn't been on the show since the accident.
"Okay, we're off," A.J announced as she took Punk's hand and they walked out of the locker room, leaving Kaitlyn and Marigold to their night filled with arts and crafts and while making a card for auntie A.J it dawned upong Marigold that everything looked better with sparkles, so she would need to update her dresses when uncle Phil and auntie A.J came back.
"YAY FOR SPARKLES."
"Stay as far from the mat as you can, do you understand me A.J?" Punk asked
"I'm not a baby," A.J muttered
"Just please, I know you have to distract, but do it from afar," Punk ordered
"Okay," she sighed, "but you know if I'm told otherwis-"
"I know." he replied sighing deeply
A.J watched as Punk made his way to the ring, as well as Daniel and Kane, she had never failed to jump when Kane came out as the 'explosives' were rather loud for her. She bit her lip as she watched the match carefully, she saw a lot of oppertunity's for Daniel to have gotten the pin but was happy he was so thick headed to realize anything. Kane had a lot of oppertunity's too, but either Punk or Daniel always sought out to make sure that didn't happen.
A.J was grateful Kane was a nice person in reality, she didn't need another person going after her and possibly hurting her baby. She knew what Kane was possible of and it scared her to no end.
"Come on Punk," she whispered as she noticed Punk wasn't in control and Kane was -Daniel was no where to be found
"A.J, ready to go?" a stagehand asked
A.J whispered the change and he nodded, he placed her theme and everything on set and as soon as it sounded she was off, she skipped down the ring, and the first to catch sight of her was Kane. She yelled at him to stop, and to leave Punk alone. She watched Kane go back to beating Punk and she knew she had to do this the hard way, she got up on the apron and as she was about to start yelling Punk hadn't quite seen her so he threw Kane towards the rope and Kane managed to push her off.
"OUF," A.J groaned as she landed,
Kane was distracted as he noticed she was hurt, he felt overwhelmed, what if the baby went to harms way too and Punk hadn't seen her yet. Soon he turned to tell him but Punk kicked him and ended up putting him in the GTS.
The arena exploded as the ref counted "one...two...three!"
The bell dinged and Punk was named victorious, A.J remained on the floor as her stomach hurt a bit from the impact, Punk was still oblivious until he say Daniel crawl towards the other end of the ring, he watched carefully as he came to a stop by the ramp, and his eyes widened.
Slipping out of the ring he pushed Daniel aside and pulled A.J towards him, he slipped his arms under her and picked her up. He felt so angry, at himself, at Laurinitus at everyone and he was mad at her too for doing what he told her not to. Taking her backstage he took her to get checked up. He was glad that after a few minutes the doctor said she was fine but that she needed to be a lot more careful or this baby could be put in danger.
Punk took her hand and they walked out, he didn't speak to her or look at her and that worried A.J. She pulled at his arm and he turned towards her but didn't look at her.
"Why are you mad at me?" she whispered
He didn't responded he only wanted to turn the other way and keep walking
"ANSWER ME," she yelled
He looked down and somehow found himself sneering at her, "YOU DISOBEYED ME."
"I'm alright, everything is fine so stop!" she told him
"NO, A.J," he yelled, "IT'S NOT FINE, YOU PUT YOURSELF AND OUR BABY IN DANGER."
"I'M FINE," she repeated
They were too wrapped up in fighting neither noticed the stares passing superstars and stagehands were giving them.
"YOU COULD HAVE BEE SERIOUSLY HURT," Punk hissed, "YOU'RE STUPID."
A.J frowned and shook her head, "you're right, I'm stupid."
He calmed a bit getting at what she was trying to say, "A.J, I-"
"Take care of Marigold, okay?" she whispered, "I'm not leaving with you tonight."
"Stop," he sighed
"NO," she yelled, "you stop, this discussion is done and I'm leaving."
A.J walked into the locker room and collected her things, Kaitlyn starred at her and walked up to her, "what's wrong, sweet thang?"
"Can I stay with you tonight?" A.J asked softly
"Sure thing, what about Punk?" Kaitlyn asked as she placed the items back in her tub
"He's leaving to Chicago with Marigold," A.J told her
"Okay?" Kaitlyn shrugged and bid her goodbye's to everyone before walking out with her tub in hand and A.J following behind
Punk groaned as he placed his things in his bag and changed into his street clothes, Marigold was napping so he didn't bother waking her. He suddenly found himself sitting on the bench, and burring his face in his hands as he muttered, "I'm so stupid."
That night Marigold was put in the room that he had separated for her in his own home and he went to his own room, he caught sight of one of A.J's things and couldn't help but feel the void that was in his heart at the moment. He needed her much like she needed him at the moment. That night felt like those nights before he met her, the ones where he battled insomnia and couldn't quite keep himself from going insane.
"I MISS YOU," he yelled out to the empty room, "so much."
Monday rolled around pretty quickly in A.J's eyes, she didn't sleep as much as she had an early flight. Kaitlyn and herself caught breakfast and soon they were off to Texas along with Derrick. Soon after arriving at the hotel she asked around if Punk had arrived and they all said no.
She sighed softly and checked in, as she walked up to her room she caught sight of Brie and Daniel in the midst of another one of their fights. She couldn't help but feel like that's how they looked last night, like to people who were only intent on hurting each other but that wasn't it, he cared; too much.
She went into her room and laid down for a bit, it was crazy how time went so slowly with him gone and when he was here time couldn't be any faster. She soon fell into a deep sleep, ignoring the constant ringing her phone did.
After three hours she woke up and ran a hand through her hair, right now she imagined he'd be here as it ws almost time for them to be at RAW, she was nervous to see him but then it dawned upon her that maybe he wanted to be away from her, so she decided she'd stay away until he asked for her to be there.
She started packing and met up with Derrick in the lobby, Kaitlyn was going to go later since she really didn't have to be there. She walked out with him, not even noticing the straight-edge superstar who was walking quietly behind them.
"How are you feeling?" he asked
"Dead," she responded simply
"I don't think that's an emotion," Derrick chuckled
"It is in my bleak and bitter little world," she responded
He popped the trunk open and chuckled, "go talk to him."
"No," she sighed
"Why not?"
"Because even though I miss him I get the feeling he wants his space at the moment," she replied
"You could never know, he could be around here somewhere just dying to see you," he replied smirking at the man who stood behind A.J
"Oh shut up, lets go," she replied as she opened the door to the car
Derrick watched as Punk sighed deeply and placed his bag in the trunk as well, A.J had yet to notice who was tagging along with them.
"Bateman, I'm going to ignore you for the car ride," she announced as she placed her headphones in and placed her music on full blast.
Derrick smirked as Punk slipped in the back and shut the door as quietly as he could, soon Derrick got in and pulled her headphones out. Punk took his cue and sat quietly.
"LISTEN HERE WOMAN, WHEN WE GET TO ARENA YOU WILL TALK TO HIM," he yelled getting stares from the old lady who just parked next to them
"DON'T YELL AT ME," she replied, "and I do what I want."
"You will talk to him because I say so," Derrick told her
"Sure thing, mom," A.J chuckled
"You'll thank me," he replied smirking, "so tell me esteemed colleague, what is it hat made you want to have this baby with Punk?"
"This baby isn't planned," A.J replied
"ACCIDENT BABY," he yelled, "I was one too."
"No, I'm happy the baby will be here he just wasn't planned but he is no accident," she replied
"oh then forget what I said," he replied
"You're stupid," she replied, "did you see Nattie's tweet about you?"
"Pfft, I'm telling you that woman acts like she isn't impressed with ALL OF THIS," Derrick told her smugly, "I'm mantastic."
"Alright, don't get carried away," she chuckled
"So, you gonna talk to yo' loverboy?" Derrick asked as he came to a stop as the light had turned red
"I don't know," she bit her lip, "I want to, but what would I say?"
Derrick cleared his throat and in a high pitch voice imitated what A.J would say, "OH PUNK, YOU ARE MINE FOREVER AND ALWAYS, I LOVE YOU, YOU BIG LUG. DON'T EVER LEAVE ME BABY."
"Um," she pursed her lips, "NO."
"Fine, whatever, see if I care," Derrick replied as he parked the car and got out, "I'M SICK OF YOU MUSTREATING ME, YOU'RE LUCKY I DON'T CALL THE POLICE ON YOU."
A.J rolled her eyes and stepped out, as she did Punk stepped out as well, and as she gasped upon seeing him. He gave her a small smile and a shrug.
"What are yo-"
"I miss you," he replied, "I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU."
"I miss you too," she replied
He pulled her in for a tight hug and she smiled, "I love you."
"I love you too."
"AWWWWW, YOUNG LOVE." Derrick yelled
They starred at him with a sneer on their faces and he chuckled nervously looked scared, "AND I WAS JUST LEAVING."
They watched him dash off, and they chuckled, "don't leave me."
"I never will."
"Promise?"
"Pinky promise," she chuckled,"I'll never leave you."
"Ever?"
"NEVER EVER." she smiled
"Neither will I," he replied
"Promise?"
"Pinky promise," he replied
And for the first time since their fight Punk felt a smile form on his lips, she was his and nothing and no one would ever change that.
