"Does he tell you he loves you when you least expect it?
Does he flutter your heart when he kisses your neck?
No scientist or biology
It's obvious when he's holding me
It's only natural that I'm so affected"
AJ wakes up the next morning, alone. She looks to where Punk was when she fell asleep and finds a note.
"Dear April, I'm sorry I had to leave, but I didn't want Brie to wake up and wonder why I was there. I understand if you're mad at me, but I don't regret it. Love, Phil."
AJ smiles then gets up and gets dressed then goes into the living room to see Brie already up, watching TV.
"Hi mommy." Brie says.
"Good morning, Brie." AJ says smiling.
"I want pancakes." She demands.
AJ smiles and chuckles.
'So much like her father.' AJ thinks to herself and goes into the kitchen.
Brie comes into the room a few minutes later.
"Mommy, why was Uncle Punk leaving early this morning?" Brie asks.
"Uh…We were playing uh… video games late last night." AJ says.
"Oh," Brie says. "Who's my daddy?"
AJ turns around. "Why do you ask that?"
"Well, David has Uncle Dolph as a daddy, Brad and Aaron have Uncle Hunter as a daddy. Why don't I have one?" She asks.
"It's really complicated." AJ says.
"Is my daddy Uncle Punk?" She asks.
"Why do you think that?" AJ asks.
"Yesterday David and Sara said I look like him."
"When you're older, I will tell you."
"But, I am older. I turned four." Brie says holding four of her fingers up.
The front door opens.
"AJ, Sara is with John, so I decided to come here." Nikki says coming into the kitchen.
"Aunt Nikki!" Brie says running over to her.
"Hey, Brie." Nikki says hugging the little girl.
The front door opens again.
"Nikki, can you make Brie pancakes I need to talk to someone." AJ says leaving the kitchen to see Punk standing there.
"Hey, April, I have to leave in a few hours so I decided to stop by." Punk says.
AJ grabs his hand and drags him into the guest bedroom.
"Brie is getting suspicious." AJ says.
"What do you mean?" He asks.
"She asked who her dad is. Then she thought it was you because David and Sara said she looks like you." AJ says.
"Why don't we just tell her? I've known her all her life. It's not like she'll hate the idea. And when she's older we'll tell her the truth about why we aren't together now." Punk says.
"Ok, fine! We'll tell her." AJ says.
"One more thing…" Punk says as he kisses AJ.
AJ eventually breaks the kiss and is about to yell at him when Nikki comes into the room.
"Oh,
And my heart won't beat again,
If I can't feel him in my veins.
No need to question,
I already know...
It's in his DNA, D-D-D-DNA,
It's in his DNA.
And he just takes my breath away,
B-b-b-breath away.
I feel it every day.
And that's what makes a man,
Not hard to understand.
Perfect in every way,
I see it in his face.
Nothing more to say,
Its in his d-d-dna."
"She wants to know who her father is." Nikki says.
"We know." Punk and AJ say in unison.
"God that's annoying…" Nikki mumbles walking away.
"We shouldn't tell her now..." AJ says.
"I have to leave in a few hours." Punk says.
"Ok, fine let's tell her now." AJ says.
They walk into the kitchen and AJ shoos Nikki away into the other room.
"We have something to tell you." AJ says.
"I'm your dad." Punk blurts out, then gets a glare from AJ.
"Really?" Brie asks.
"Yes," AJ says.
"But, why aren't you guys together?" She asks.
"It's complicated and you're too young to understand." AJ says.
"So, do I still have to call you Uncle Punk?" She asks.
"No, you can call me dad now." Punk says.
The phone rings.
"I'll get it!" Nikki says.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Brie asks.
AJ and Punk are about to speak when Nikki walks into the kitchen.
"April, there's an issue." Nikki says.
AJ looks at her questioningly but follows her into the hall.
"Amy is back. She convinced Vince to give her her job back and she's returning to take the divas championship from Kaitlyn.
"No! She's going to..." AJ trails off as Punk comes in.
"What happened? Who died?" Punk asks.
"Amy will! I'm going back!" AJ says going into her room to pack her things.
"What happened?" He asks.
"Amy's coming back." Nikki says going after AJ.
"I have to leave soon." Punk says.
"Go, I got AJ." Nikki says.
Punk goes back into the kitchen.
"I have to go. I'll be back next week. I promise." Punk says hugging Brie then leaving.
"April, calm down." Nikki says.
AJ pulls out her phone.
"Stephanie, I was wondering if you could send me a contract? I'm coming back to destroy Amy." She then hangs up.
"April, you have to stop. Nothing will happen." Nikki says.
"If she's coming back soon, then she'll take him from me!" AJ says.
"Take who?" Nikki asks.
"Phil!" AJ says beginning to cry.
"Do you still have that therapists number? What was her name? Amanda? Call her." Nikki says.
AJ ignores her and continues to cry.
Nikki grabs her phone and looks through her contacts list until she finds the name and number.
"Hi, Doctor Zuckerman? Yeah, I am a close friend to one of your former patients April Mendez. Well, she's having a mental breakdown." Nikki says.
AJ hasn't been to a session with Amanda since five months after Brie was born.
"Ok, great, thanks." Nikki says hanging up. "April, Doctor Zuckerman has a new office close by here. "She'll be here in ten minutes."
"It's the blue in his eyes,
That helps me see the future.
Fingerprints,
That leave me covered for days.
(Yeah hey yeah.)
Now I don't have,
Any first degree.
But I know,
What he does to me.
No need to worry,
It feels so familiar.
oh
And my heart won't beat again,
If I can't feel him in my veins.
No need to question,
I already know."
Ten minutes later, AJ is still crying.
The doorbell rings and Nikki answers the door.
"Hi, you're Doctor Zuckerman, right?" Nikki asks.
"Yes, is April here?" She asks.
"Yeah, up the stairs, first door on the right." Nikki says shutting the door.
"April?" Amanda asks going into the room to see a crying mess on the floor.
"What happened?" She asks.
AJ finally calms down.
An hour later, Amanda, leaves.
"April, are you ok?" Nikki asks.
"Yeah, I'm still going back." AJ says.

" And my heart won't beat again,
If I can't feel him in my veins.
No need to question,
I already know."
AJ is returning tonight. Punk's sisters are taking turns taking care of Brie. Lita won the title the night before against Kaitlyn at Payback. But tonight, AJ's going to take it from her.
No one knows she's coming back, not even Punk.
She sits in her private locker-room putting on her wrestling gear and her hoodie. She looks at the clock then goes over to the door.
"It's showtime…" She says pulling her hoodie up and zipping it up then opening the door and leaving without anyone noticing her.
'He's mine.' AJ thinks to herself as all the lights, backstage and in the ring area go out.
"There's something 'bout his kiss,
Contaminates my lips.
Our energy connects,
It's simple genetics.
I'm the X to his Y,
It's the color of his eyes.
He can do no wrong,
No he don't need to try.
Made from the best,
He passes all the tests.
From my heart beating fast,
It's cardiac arrest.
He's from a different strain,
That science can't explain.
I guess that's how he's made,
In his D-D-D-DNA"
A/N: The song used was "DNA" by Little Mix.
What will happen when she returns?
Will she be able to destroy Lita before she destroys AJ?
