Hello readers,
Here is a new one-shot for you guys.
Enjoy.
AJ and Punk are watching TV. Their baby boy Matthew, who is a year and a half old, is in his play pen playing with his toys.
"When do you think he will start walking?" AJ ask her husband of 2 years.
"I don't know. We have tried to this past week to help him, but he is stubborn. Maybe he wants to surprise us." Punk replies
"I just don't want to miss it. I don't want to miss anything." She worries that when she goes back to work and that Punk is training that they will miss his first steps.
"I know you don't want to. You have been getting frustrated every time he falls. He will learn to walk, just have faith in your little boy." He kisses her head
"Okay. Maybe we should try one more time." She gets up to walk to Matthew
"Princess, he is probably tired right now. We will try again tomorrow." Punk tries to explain because he sees his son happy playing with his toys.
"Just one more time, please." She pouts the way she always does when she wants to persuade Punk.
"No AJ, our baby boy needs to nap." He walks to be beside her. He looks down at their baby as he picks him into his arms.
"Pretty please. This is the last time, if he doesn't I won't fuss about it for a week." She hoping that her not complaining will change his mind.
"A whole week, right." AJ nods "Okay, but one condition. Every time you complain we add another week." Punk smirks knowing that she caught her in her lie.
AJ bites her lip thinking how she got into this mess. She should have know better than to persuade her husband.
"So, what do you say? Do we have a deal?" He smirks thinking that she has got her and she will not stop complaining; it will go on and on.
"Fine." She crosses her arms knowing she can't get out of it.
Punk chuckles. " Okay baby boy, one more time you have to not walk. Whatever your mommy says you don't walk." Punk whispers to his son.
"Hey!" She hears some parts of what her husband said to Matthew.
"What? I am giving my son some pointers." He tries to play off that he did the opposite of what he is suppose to do.
"I have ears Punk, did you tell our son to not walk?" AJ gives him the 'don't lie to me' glare.
"Why would I do that? I am just excited for him to walk then you are." He smiles as he tries to get off the hook.
"Just go get teh videocamera. I want to record his first steps." AJ waves him off as he picks up her son from her husband's arms.
"Sure thing." He pecks her.
When Punk comes back, he sees his son on his feet with AJ holding his hands to hold him up.
"Are your eady to be a walking star little man?" Punk ask as he kneels a few meters away from his family.
"Do you have it fully charge?" AJ ask
"Yes AJ, everything is good." Punk chuckles. He knows that AJ will kick his butt if they lose battery at the wrong time.
"Okay baby boy, can you walk for us? Can you walk to daddy?" AJ ask her son as she picks up one foot and places it down in front of him to get him going.
Matthew looks up to her mother a bit scared that he will fall.
"Don't worry baby I will catch you." AJ kisses his son's head to re-assure him.
"Remember what I said little man." Punk says still with the videocamera recording.
Matthew lifts one foot up, but he loses his balance as he falls. AJ is right there to catches him as he does. He snuggles into his mother's embrace with some tears in his eyes.
"It is okay sweetie, you will walk when you are ready." She kisses his head "I'm still proud of you with your speech. You have learned some many words." She hugs her son as she looks at Punk.
Punk sees the proud expression on her face that an idea comes into his mind.
"Princess, how about you hold the camera?"
"What do you mean?" She lifts her head with a confuse face
"I will hold Matthew while you hold the camera. I think when he sees you that he will walk to you"
"But what about you, don't you want him to walk to you?" AJ questions knowing that they both equally want to Matthew to walk to them.
"It is okay, he is already a momma's boy; I can't change that."
AJ smiles "You think so."
"I do, but the next boy we have will be a mini me." He smiles that he made his wife smile.
"You bet." She walks over to him as she puts Matthew into one of his arms. Afterwards, she takes the camera from his hand.
"Okay, are you ready baby?' Punk ask as she hold his son's hands to guide him.
"Umm... yeah ready." She struggles to find the record button.
"Ready little man, we are going to walk to mommy. We are going to take it step by step, okay buddy."
Matthew looks up at his father, like he did with his mother, and he smiles. This signals that he is ready to conquer this obstacle.
"Okay baby boy, come to me. You can do it, walk to me Matthew." AJ says as he smiles at the actions between her two boys in her life.
Matthew lifts one of his feet again, which this time lands in front of him.
"That's great buddy, keep going." Punk so proud of his son.
"Come on baby boy, one more time." AJ also proud of his son first step
Matthew lifts his another foot as he does the same action. He smiles as he keep going; one step at the time.
"You are doing great baby boy, just a few more steps." AJ having tears in her eyes that her son is now walking.
Matthew starts to move faster to get to his mom's arms quicker.
"Slow down little man." Punk concern that he might fall, but he is right there if he does.
Their son falls over his feet as eh falls backwards with Punk there to catch him.
"Take it easy little man; one step at a time." Punk carries him as he his cheek.
He holds both of his father's cheek with a big smile. Punk chuckles at his actions. They look over at AJ with tears now coming down her face.
"AJ? AJ, are you okay princess?" Punk looks concern that him not falling upset her.
"Of course. Our baby boy took his first steps. He just took his first steps." She covers her mouth with the hand that is not holding the camera. She is so proud of her little boy.
"He did take his first step and we got it all on the camera." He takes the camera out of her hand to put in on the table near them.
Matthew stretches his arms to AJ as she takes him in her arms.
"I'm so proud of you baby boy; you did it. You walked for the very first time." She says to him like he didn't witness it.
Punk wraps an arm around his family. They soak all the emotions from the even that just happen as they all hug.
"I love you princess." Punk says as she kisses her cheek.
"I love you too baby." She pecks his lips.
