a/n: You guys we're almost at 500, ahhhh! You guys have no idea how much that means to me, when we first started this story we never imagined it would be as it is today. Like honestly thank you so much, to all of you! SO when we reach 500 we sort of want to give you a gift, does free requests on a fanfic sound good? Or should Sam and I be more 'original'? Let us know please.
Okay, well everyone seems to be coping now that I gave you a happy ending, but remember what Sam said "you can't have a rainbow without a little rain". So beware of heart failures later on in the story, and such. I know you want to know the winners of the contest but I'm not done yet so please bare with me, Sam has beaten me up with a shovel and I learned my lesson, by the next fic you will know our winners. Okay? Thanks.
Um I feel like I'm forgetting something? Oh, Sam wanted me to tell you since I am visiting next week on Tuesday through Thursday there will be no updating, but she will make sure to post on Friday afternoon if she can cause that is the day I catch my plane back home. Well enough chit chat, let's begin. - Eleanor x [Putting my whole name has become a habbit -I apologize dearly.]
Fix You
Cody woke up to a loud wail, he had pressed the 'button' in hopes of it turning off but it continued even louder than before. He opened his eyes and Layla looked at him as if he was insane, he sat up and noticed Phillip by his side stirring and crying very loudly.
"He isn't an alarm, Cody," she chuckled as Alee stirred a bit and soon opened her eyes
"Right," Cody replied picking Phillip up and heading to the kitchen
Layla followed with Alee in her arms, once they got there he watched Layla prepare the small child's formula and feed it to her placing her carefully in the playpen she had set up last night. Cody tried his best to follow her lead as Phillip cried in his arms. He tried placing the formula in the water but the baby cried louder causing him to spill the formula on the floor. Layla laughed slightly as she picked up the mess and soon fixed Phillip a bottle like it was the easiest thing in the world.
He watched as she grabbed the small baby from his arms carefully and began to feed him. The small baby grew quiet and drank the formula, he noticed Alee had finished and she 'spit out' the bottle causing it to go over the pillow that had held it in place so she could be fed while Layla helped him up. Cody went over and picked her up, and Layla chuckled.
"Careful," Layla chuckled, "pat her back until she burps or you'll have quite the mess on your hands."
"Throw up?" he asked
"Indeed," she smiled, "her little wipe is in the pink diaper bag."
Cody went over and took the small wipe out of the bag and placed it over his shoulder and did the same with Alee as he patted her back. Layla watched on and a small smile spread on her lips, she had never noticed how perfect Cody would be as a father, even if he looked totally awkward while trying to burp the small girl and not get throw up on himself.
Soon the small girl burped and Cody figuring his job was done he removed the small wipe,"there."
"Cody don-"
Before she could stop him Alee had managed to throw up on his shoulder and Cody groaned, "Oh Alee."
Layla laughed slightly as she took Phillip and grabbed his wipe as she did the same to Phillip, but keeping Cody's mistake in mind. Once that was done Layla changed them because A.J had texted her that she was going to pick them up in a few minutes. She had picked a small dress and a long sleeved undershirt with tights for Alee, and she placed socks on the tights and also added a headband with a large pink flower on it. She guessed this was all Kelly's shopping.
Cody had to dress Phillip and he knew this would piss off Punk so he had gone by the arena a few days ago and picked up a onesie that contained his logo on it. He and he placed jeans on the small bay as well as his black converse -obviously A.J's purchase.
Layla chuckled at the sight, "awww, Punk's going to be mad that his kid is wearing Cody Rhodes gear."
"He'll thank me for it later," Cody smirked, "lady killer."
"It's like that time John dressed him in his romper," Layla laughed
"But better," Cody added
They heard a knock at the door and Layla handed Alee over to him and went over to the door where she found A.J but Punk was no where in sight. She noticed A.J was very happy and peppy this morning and she knew the cause very well.
"Aren't you happy this morning," Layla chuckled
"Look," she squealed
Layla starred at the ring on her finger and smiled brightly, it was the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen. She then pulled A.J into a tight hug and A.J hugged back.
"I'm so happy for you, A.J," Layla chuckled
"Thank you," she smiled
"CODDDDDYYYY!" Layla yelled and soon Cody appeared with both carriers
A.J smiled and kneeled down to see the twins, she had missed them so much even though she had spent an amazing night. She chuckled at Phillip's shirt and looked up at Cody who only gave her a small nod and a smirk.
"Oh Punk will love that shirt," A.J chuckled sarcastically
"Told you," Cody told Layla jokingly
"Whatever," Layla laughed
Layla went back inside and got the two bags and handed them to A.J who slung them over her shoulder and then she picked up each carrier. One in each hand, as she looked up she laughed at how Cody starred at her as if she were strange.
"What?" she asked
"Superman over here," Cody replied as he went inside
"Sorry about him," Layla smiled, "but honestly A.J, I'm super happy for you, and I will see you soon."
"Yes," A.J smiled, "and thanks for everything."
"No problem," Layla smiled
"Well bye," she smiled and began to walk away
"Bye!" Layla called out before shutting the door
Punk woke up feeling super tired and just not wanting to see the light of today. But as he reached over to his beautiful fiancé he found nothing but an empty space. His eyes flew open as he starred at the spot she once occupied and he looked around. The room was now clean and nothing from last night was there. He rolled out of bed and got into the shower quickly.
Afterwards he got dressed in jeans, a t-shirt and a black jacket. He fixed his hair, slicking it back like he always did. After that he placed his cap on and put his wallet in his jeans as he headed for the door.
"Oh shit," he mumbled running back to the counter and grabbing his keys, room key and phone
He headed out in search for A.J, maybe she went out to breakfast with Kaitlyn to talk about last night's events. He was still shocked that he would soon call her his wife, it was amazing how far they'd come. He still hadn't told Colt and he knew if A.J told him he'd be super mad at him -not that he was scared of him to begin with.
He walked for a bit before he spotted what he was looking for. She looked so tiny holding both carriers as she waited patiently for the elevator. He smirked and quietly walked towards her and as she placed the carriers down he wrapped his arms around her causing her to gasp.
He thought this would go well but soon her leg kicked him right where it hurts and as he cried out in pain and sank to the floor her eyes widened, "Punk?"
"It hurts," he replied
"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry," she whispered as he sank to the floor
People passed by them minutes after and Punk was on the floor in pain, she stood there awkwardly Alee was playing with a rattle while baby talking to Phillip who was not even responding as he normally would, he was too busy playing with the stuffed giraffe Sheamus had gotten him not long ago. After what felt like an hour Punk was up and he took Phillip's carrier and A.J took Alee's.
"I'm sorry," she replied once they were in the elevator
"It's fine," he told her as he placed Phillip down
"No it isn't," she mumbled
"Baby it's fine," he chuckled
"It's your fault," she told him, "who sneaks up on someone like that?"
"Apparently I do," he laughed
"Whatever, you're lucky I didn't kill you," she mumbled
They picked up the carriers as they arrived to the lobby and they headed for Punk's rental where they found Derrick and Zack sitting on the trunk of his rental. Punk arched an eyebrow up at them and A.J only got Punk to open the car not even question the boys as she knew this was something usual. She placed each carrier in it's slot and made sure to secure it with the seat belt. Then she placed the bags on the floor.
"Where are we going for breakfast?" Derrick asked sitting in between the carriers
Zack followed as he climbed to the back hitting Derrick in the face as he did so. Punk only starred at them as if they each sprouted a third head and shook his head, "why are you here?"
"We were promised food," Derrick told him
"By who?" Punk asked
"Sheamus said if we left him alone you'd take us out to breakfast this morning," Zack told him
"Shouldn't you be with Eve?" A.J asked as she got buckled into the car
"No," Zack mumbled, "she went home for a small break."
"Cool," A.J replied as she got a piece of gum out of the drawer
Punk groaned and pointed his finger to get out before he saw Cody and Layla heading his way,"oh, where are we going for breakfast?"
He watched Layla climbed to the back and Cody following her lead both hitting Derrick in the head as they settled in the back. A.J wasn't even helping him as she flipped through a magazine that containued a holographic poster of Channing Tatum shirtless.
"Hey Lay, check this out," A.J called out as she lifted the magazine to show her
"Oh my," Layla gushed, "that is one attractive poster."
"You're okay with this?" Punk asked looking at her
"I'm hungry," she told him, "so yeah."
Punk slipped into the car and turned the engine on, he felt so much more grumpier now. He had intended on a nice breakfast with his family, not his family and crowd of freaks and Layla. He began driving to the nearest iHop and once he pulled into it the guys all cheered.
"OH YEAH, YEAH YEAH!" Derrick sang, "WE'RE EATING HERE TODAY.."
"OH," Zack sang
"EATING HERE TODAY."
"YEAH YEAH YEAH."
"EATING HERE TODAY."
"NOT ON A DIET."
Cody starred at them and his eye twitched, "Dory would be disappointed."
"Okay, out of my car," Punk told them taking Phillip's carrier out
"Technically it's the rental place's car so bayum," Derrick smirked
"Derrick?" Punk looked at him
"Yeah man?"
"If I could bury you alive and it wouldn't be a crime, I would."
"I love you too, bro."
After ordering and getting their food the guys finally settled down and ate in silence, much to Punk's enjoyment. He held Phillip tightly as the baby made his usual baby talk, Alee replying as he did. He watched how serious Derrick looked and he knew it was going to be ripped away from him so easily.
"Have you noticed that pancakes are like clouds," Derrick told them
Punk and Cody starred at him as if he were completely mental and A.J only cocked her head to the side, Layla was too busy eating to notice them and Zack went to get some more whip cream.
"How in the world are they like clouds?" Cody asked taking a bite out of his bacon
"They're soft, and fluffy," Derrick said in a eerie tone
"You're weird," Punk told him taking a sip out of his orange juice
Zack came back with a can of whip cream and A.J laughed as he sprayed as much as he could on his pancakes. Cody only starred and Punk had his head in his hands, why was it always him being put in these situations? Why not Sheamus? He's been a good guy, only lying when necassary.
"Remember that time we got kicked out of the iHop in L.A?" Zack chuckled
"Oh man, legendary," Derrick laughed along
"How did you get kicked o-"
"Cody n-"
Before Punk could stop him Derrick was now up and he had gotten on top of another family's table, Layla finally looked up from her food and her mouth opened slightly. A.J gasped and Cody groaned loudly along with Punk, Zack however laughed and clapped.
"HEY I JUST MET YOU," he sang to the old lady that was sitting there now scarred of the man above her, "AND THIS IS CRAZY BUT HERE'S MY NUMBER SO CALL ME, MAYBE."
10 minutes later
"AND DID YOU THINK IT WAS OKAY FOR YOU TO STAND UP ON THAT TABLE AND SING TO THAT OLD LADY?"
"No mom," Derrick replied looking down
Punk starred in amusement as he called A.J mom and actually listened to her like she was the boss of him. Cody was eating the food he managed to sneak out after being kicked out and Layla was now starring at A.J's magazine poster, Zack was next to Derrick but A.J had yet to yell at him.
"WHY DID YOU DO IT?" she yelled
"He told me too," Derrick pointed to Cody who had a mouthful of pancakes
"Did not," he mumbled as he ate his food
"SO IF CODY SAYS JUMP OFF A CLIFF YOU'D DO IT?" A.J asked
"If it amuses him and makes him love me...yes," Derrick told her
"GET IN THE CAR YOU ARE GOING TO BE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH KAITLYN WHEN WE GET BACK TO THE HOTEL," she told him
"Okay, mom," he muttered stepping into the car
"AND YOU."
Zack stopped short and turned to her, "yes?"
"YOU BETTER ASK EVE OUT SOON," she yelled
"Yes, mom," he replied heading to the back with Derrick
After that Cody stepped in and Layla sat in between the carriers after they were placed inside. A.J and Punk sat at the front and after they drove out of the place he took her hands in his and she smiled brightly at him. Maybe it wasn't so bad of a morning after all.
