A/N: Hello everyone! Thanks for your reviews you all are awesome except for the person who told me I was getting lazy. Please don't ever personally insult me through 'guest' reviews like that again. Writing something like that will make me not want to update but I didn't want the loyal readers to suffer. I accept all reveiwes about my writing, plots and characters but again and for the 1000th time this is not my job.

Until someone pays me to write on here full-time don't expect updates constantly. I have a job and real life situations come up. Also 'guest' reviewer if you look back I noted on here and my Twitter how I wouldn't be around much these last few weeks due to personal REAL LIFE obligations not that I owe you an explanation for anything. Comments like that are just rude and insulting and I'm even tempted to take off guest reviewer comments but I own't let one bad apple spoil the bunch.

I had a long and busy weekend and still have a lot coming up but I got a short chapter up for you all and again thanks to everyone but that one person who reviewed! Enjoy and I'll be around to update sooner than you think ;)

I owe it all to you

A few days later AJ was done finally sanitizing the apartment after Punk let it get so filthy. She hadn't been out by herself yet but she was slowly but surely getting back into her old groove but it would take time. She was even going to start seeing a therapist to help her out. Something the police suggested and Punk really pushed for.

"Hey." Punk said walking in the door with his arms filled with bags. "Wow I can see the floor again." He said with a laugh.

"Yea don't mess it up again." She warned him.

"I have no reason to." Punk said to her.

"So what did you get?" AJ asked anxiously.

"I got us a new comforter set." He said passing her a large bag. "It's supposed to be the most comfortable material in the world or something."

"And it's dark red, matches our room perfectly." AJ said impressed.

"I also got you some of those gossip magazines you like so you can catch up on events." Punk said passing her a stack of magazines.

"Perfect." AJ grinned.

"I also stopped and put you on my phone plan and got you a brand new phone." Punk said pulling out the small box. "It's just like mine and I'll set it all up for you."

"What happened to my old phone?" AJ asked.

"That got shut off because you didn't pay the bill." Punk said to her. "I paid it off and tried to get it turned back on but they had to hear from you…"

"No this is great thanks." She assured him.

"And I've been thinking about the wedding." Punk started off.

"You're backing out aren't you?" She asked in a fearful voice.

"Never." Punk smirked. "Never, ever, ever will I back out of anything with you. It's just everyone is really excited to have you back Dean, your parents, Paul-"

"You want a real wedding?" AJ asked him.

"Nothing too big but a few people seems nice." Punk shrugged. "But it's up to you."

"No you're right." AJ agreed. "I want to marry you right now but I also want to have a party and celebrate not just being home but our love. My family should be there and there's a lot more Mendez's than you think."

"So a bigger wedding?" Punk asked.

"A little bigger." AJ nodded and smiled a little.

"That's the first time I've got you to smile like that without being naked." Punk said excitedly.

"I mean I always envisioned having my dad walk me down the aisle." AJ admitted.

"Didn't he walk you down the aisle when you married Primo?" Punk asked.

"No Primo and I were 18 and ran off." AJ said to him. "We ran because we knew people would tell us it was a bad idea and deep down we knew it too. I don't want to hide you from anyone. But are you sure it's ok I have a big wedding even though I've already been married?"

"Now it's a big wedding?" Punk laughed. "And yes it's fine no one is going to say anything and like you said you were a kid and ran off to get married this is different. But I can't do a church wedding."

"I know." She said to him. "We can do something at a hall or a hotel? Have the reception there too."

"Great you pick a date, time and place and I'll be there." Punk said simply.

"I'm in charge?" AJ asked him.

"Of everything unless you give me something to do." Punk said to her.

"I still don't want to wait long though." AJ said to him. "Weddings take forever to plan out."

"So hire one of those fancy planners." Punk suggested. "Tell them what you want and when you want it and they'll get it done."

"I don't think it works like that." AJ laughed.

"Money talks baby." He grinned shooting her a wink.

"So I heard Renee is getting some time for her part in my kidnapping." AJ noted.

"Deservingly so." Punk nodded as he pulled me stuff out of the bags. "I got you so me clothes to because you lost weight and I don't want your jeans falling down or anything, actually keep wearing them." He teased.

"She wasn't fully responsible." AJ said to him and he looked towards her.

"She played a big enough part. If she truly cared about you or Dean she would have told him or me about Mike being the mastermind behind your abduction." Punk said to her seriously.

"You had sex with her you must have liked her." AJ noted quietly.

"I would have had sex with anyone that night." Punk said with a bitter laugh. "I was in a bad place AJ. Actually I was always in a bad place and it was stupid to do and if I could take it back I would."

"I'm not mad at you." She insisted sitting on the couch. "It's just weird that's all. But that counts as your bachelor party by the way."

"Ugh come on AJ." Punk said sitting next to her. "I don't need a bachelor party I've been tied down to you since the day I met you. I've never been able to get you out of my head."

"I'm not trying to make you feel bad." She said to him. "I've lived under a rock for the last half a year almost literally and I'm still absorbing a lot of stuff."

"Which is why therapy is a great idea." Punk reminded her.

"I'm going to go." AJ promised. "But what if the therapist tells me we're rushing into things?" she asked him. "What if he says us getting married is a bad idea?"

"Why would he say that? Do you think that?" Punk asked.

"No but I'm trying to think of reasons of what would keep us from getting married." AJ admitted. "I'm so afraid one day you'll be gone or I'll be gone."

"I'm not going anywhere and you are definitely not going anywhere." Punk laughed taking her hand.

"If the therapist says it's a bad idea and he convinces you it could set me back even though I think I'm fine you'll wait." She said knowingly. "You want me adjusted and back to normal and you wouldn't risk anything."

"If I thought marrying you would set you back in anyway shape or form I wouldn't be doing it." Punk said to her honestly. "No one could convince me otherwise."

"I'm scared." She whispered with a forced smile but her eyes watered up. "We would have been married eight months today did you know that? If I had never gone missing this would be our anniversary. I didn't think I'd see you again and I want a big party with the flowers and music but I also don't want to wait. I don't think I'll ever feel right until I have your ring on my finger."

"Ok." Punk said standing up and then reached for her hand and brought her to her feet.

"Where are we going?" she asked.

"I'm giving you what you need." Punk said as he passed her over her purse and pulled her out the door.

Dean was in his apartment not drinking but not doing much of anything. He missed Renee, he missed her laugh, her smile, her lame jokes, her touch- everything. He wasn't sure he'd ever find someone who could match up to her but he also knew he could never forgive her for the ultimate betrayal and it had nothing to do with sleeping with Punk.

Dean would work all day and come home to his empty apartment and eat a TV dinner in front of the TV but what kept him sane was knowing AJ was a few floors up and he could see her anytime he wanted. He didn't want to smother her or disrupt her time with Punk but he had to see her and talk to her. He walked towards his door and just as it opened he saw Renee holding her balled fist up to knock.

"Hi." Renee said but Dean narrowed his eyes and pulled her into the apartment and closed the door behind her. "So you're glad to see me?"

"No I just don't want someone else to see you." Dean said coldly.

"I heard she was back here." Renee said with a small smile. "I'm glad she's back."

"Fuck you." Dean said surprising her. "Don't bullshit with him anymore get out of here and take the stairs."

"Wait I want to explain this to you." Renee insisted. "I'm only out on bail until my trial and I'm going to busy."

"Poor fucking you." Dean mocked. "They kept AJ like a prisoner locked in dark cold attic with barely any food! Do you know she weights 93lbs? Did you know she had almost no Vitamin D in her body because of the lack of sunlight?"

"I didn't." Renee said shaking her head sadly. "I swear to you I didn't."

"What did you think was happening to her?" Dean shouted. "You thought it was a vacation!?"

"Please Dean I love you!" Renee cried.

"You fucked Punk." Dean reminded her.

"I didn't mean to!" She cried as Dean pushed her out the door and dragged her to the staircase.

"I wonder how much trouble you'd get in for showing up here knowing she's here?" Dean asked as he pulled her down the long flights of stairs.

"AJ-" Renee began.

"Don't say her name you disgusting liar!" Dean hissed.

"How can I prove to you how sorry I am?" she asked as they reached the back exit door and pushed her out into the snowy night.

"Stay away." Dean said coldly then slammed the door.

"Dean!" Renee sobbed but the door locked from the inside and she couldn't get in. "Dean please!" she sobbed slamming on the door.

A few hours later Punk and AJ walked in the door giggling. AJ was ahead of Punk and let out a scream when she turned on the light and saw someone sitting on the couch. She instinctively reached for Punk.

"It's just me." Dean said slowly standing from the couch.

"I'm sorry Dean I'm still jumpy." AJ said as Punk helped her out of her jacket.

"Where have you two been?" Dean asked them as if he was a concerned parent. "You kept her out for hours in the snow?"

"I didn't realize I had to run my dates by you." Punk said removing his own jacket.

"It's a long date that's all." Dean said innocently.

"So you two are ok?" AJ asked looking between her two favorite guys. "I need you both to be ok with you each other. Or at least civil."

"He brought you home." Dean said looking directly at Punk. "He's ok in my book."

"Great." AJ said with a bright smile, a smile that Dean hadn't seen in so long. "So what's going on? You need to talk?"

Dean admired her happy face and had no idea why she was in such a good mood but he wasn't going to take away from it. He just gave her half a smile and a kiss on the forehead.

"I just wanted to see your face." Dean said to her.

"Really? Are you sure you don't want to stay and hang out? Phil was going to take a shower and stuff anyway." AJ said to him.

"Yea go ahead." Punk said to him.

"Nah I'm good." Dean said walking to the door and he saw Punk smirking himself. "What the fuck are you two so happy about?"

"We're getting married." AJ said with a happy laugh.

"Yea I kind of figured that one out a year ago." Dean said sarcastically.

"We've decided to have a bigger wedding." AJ said to him.

"A big party?" Dean asked and AJ nodded. "Count me in."

"I couldn't do it without you." AJ said smiling as he walked out the door.

"You were going to invite him to stay?" Punk asked annoyed.

"He's my best friend." AJ shrugged. "We're a package deal."

"But tonight?" he asked kicking off his shoes.

"He doesn't know but your stupid grin almost gave us away." AJ said laughing.

"What grin?" Punk asked pointing to his smile. "Are you referring to this Mrs. Brooks?" he teased walking over to her.

"Yes Mr. Brooks." She nodded slowly as he wrapped his arms around her waist and tugged her against him.

"I want to take the girl of my dreams to bed." He said kissing her lips. "I want to make love to my wife all night long." He said kissing down her neck.

"Yes." AJ said with a moan as he sucked on her pulse point. "But I don't want anyone to know we'll have the big wedding but no one has to know we're already married."

"It's a brilliant idea." Punk said scooping her up bridal style in his arms.

"It was your idea." AJ said trying not to laugh in his face.

"You married a very smart man." Punk said smugly dropping her in the center of the bed.

"And handsome one." AJ said looking up at him. "Are you sure you we did the right thing? Is the magic gone from the big day?"

"Nah." He said taking his shirt off. "We didn't even get wedding bands yet, I'll get to see you in a beautiful white dress, I'll get to dance with you and kiss you in front of everyone. The magic will be there. We just won't have to be so nervous."

"Were you nervous today before it was official while the judge at city hall was marrying us?" she asked as she let him undress her.

"I've never been more sure of anything." Punk said to her. "You?"

"This is the happiest day of my life." AJ said happily. "I've never been so happy and I owe it all to you." She said lovingly as she pulled his face to hers and fell back onto the bed and took him with her….

Married already and still a big wedding? Sounds fun to me! A lot more drama to come just bare with me...
