"After all that you put me through,
You think I'd despise you,
But in the end I wanna thank you,
'Cause you've made me that much stronger"
Today, AJ is returning to confront Punk. The only people that know she is returning is John, Nikki, and Stephanie who approved it and promised not to tell Punk. Even though Stephanie sent her away, she regrets it and realizes what she did to AJ and feels she owes her.
She sits in her private dressing room getting ready. She puts on her oversized hoodie, black jeans, black Converses, and a plain black long sleeved shirt. She sits there trying not to cry from all the pain Punk has put her through and now she has to confront him.
"Well I thought I knew you, thinkin' that you were true
Guess I, I couldn't trust called your bluff time is up
'Cause I've had enough
You were there by my side, always down for the ride
But your joy ride just came down in flames 'cause your greed sold me out in shame
After all of the stealing and cheating you probably think that I hold resentment for you
But uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do, I wouldn't know
Just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you
'Cause it"
As AJ waits for John to get her, she writes down all the ways she can sabotage Brie's match later in the night. Maybe Maxine attacks her? No, Maxine wouldn't listen to her. Paige? Paige might. Stephanie could strip her? No that wouldn't sabotage the match. Or... The door opens revealing John.
"AJ, Punk's announcing the matches, your music is ready." John says.
AJ stands up and leaves the room quickly.
AJ stands in the gorilla area as the lights go out in the ring area.
"Let's light it up" that part of her song plays then fades away then plays again and it repeats this three times until the lights go back on and there stands AJ who gets the reaction from boos to cheers.
"Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
Never saw it coming, all of your backstabbing
Just so you could cash in on a good thing before I'd realize your game
I heard you're going round playing the victim now
But don't even begin feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave
After all of the fights and the lies 'cause you're wanting to haunt me
But that won't work anymore, no more,
It's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now and never back down
So I wanna say thank you
'Cause it"
Punk looks at the stage in fear and shock at his crazy chick that he still deep down loves, but can't admit it.
AJ walks down to the ring slowly, walking around the ring putting her hand on the mat as she walks, she walks to the commentators table and blows them a kiss as she jumps onto the mat, her back facing Punk. She wraps her arms around the rope on the ring as she soaks in all the cheers she recives. She turns around and enters the ring slowly then sits on the middle rope like she used to as she stares into Punk's green eyes.
"Hey Punky..." AJ mouths to him as someone hands her a mic and she hops off of the middle rope.
"I'm baaaaaaack..." AJ says. "Punk tried to send me away, but he failed about putting me in a nut house forever. I got out last week, Punky. And you seem to have forgotten about me since... We're still married." AJ flashes him her wedding ring.
Everyone continues to cheer.
"How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust so cruel
Could only see the good in you
Pretend not to see the truth
You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself
Through living in denial
But in the end you'll see
YOU-WON'T-STOP-ME
I am a fighter and I
I ain't gonna stop
There is no turning back
I've had enough"
"You either forgot about me or just didn't want to get divorced from your crazy chick." AJ says smirking up at him. "And I have some news for you..." AJ says unzipping her hoodie and throwing it off revealing what looks like is a five month baby bump.
Everyone gasps and starts talking amongst themselves, even Michael, JBL, and Jerry are so confused. Punk, who is still looking into her eyes, has no idea what happened until he notices AJ putting a hand on her stomach and he slowly looks down stopping when he sees her swolen stomach. He looks at her in shock.
"I-Is it... Mine?" He asks.
"Of course it's your's!" AJ snaps. "When we had sex on your desk the condom broke you douchebag!"
"Is AJ seriously pregnant?!" Jerry asks.
"I-I think so, King." Michael says equally shocked.
"I knew she was pregnant! Her wedding dress seemed too tight." JBL says.
"I've known since before we got married. The doctor came into my office once a few weeks before we got married, saying when they drew my blood when they examined me when you slapped me they said that I am pregnant. I was going to tell you after we got married, but you admitted me into a nut house you son of a bitch!" AJ yells as she begins to cry. "I'm so shocked Brie didn't tell you! She was the only one that knew and she told everyone, I'm so shocked she didn't tell you!"
"Brie and I don't talk anymore!" Punk says.
"Whatever... You don't have to be in her life, I don't really care at this point what you do. You've ruined me! You've ruined everything about me! And you're not ruining this!" AJ says putting a hand on her stomach again. "We've finally created something beautiful that even I can't mess up." She says crying.
"Her? I-It's a girl?" Punk asks.
"Yeah..." AJ mumbles through her tears. "I found out before I left the mental health facility..."
"April, I want to be in it's life." He says.
"No, you're not!" AJ snaps.
"I have rights!"
"I don't care, you're not messing it up! I need to get away from here! You're causing me stress which isn't good for the baby!" AJ yells then leaves the ring and goes backstage crying her eyes out.
"You thought I would forget
But I remembered
'Cause I remembered
I remembered
You thought I would forget
I remembered
'Cause I remembered
I remembered"
A/N: The song used is "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera. So, AJ is pregnant. I had a few hints scattered throughout the final chapters of Forced Together. Hint #1, the doctor started walking towards AJ's office after Brie left, hint #2, AJ had sweaters on, hint #3, AJ said that Punk didn't need a condom also in the riddle that was in the final chapter of Forced Together it said "There is something growing deep within me. Maybe a bit of evil?" Which is true, that baby could be evil like her father or just crazy like her mother, but if combined, that's deadly.
Can AJ ever forgive Punk?
Can she ever forgive Brie?
What will her revenge be to them?
Does Punk really want to be in her and his baby's life?
Is AJ really better from being crazy?
Review!
