Lie On Lie

"Hey, babe. I'm home." Punk called out as he walked through the house, heading for the kitchen with the grocery bag after popping in on his way home, "Hey." He smiled, seeing her pouring herself a glass of orange juice.

"Hey, I'm just in." AJ smiled to him, "You're a dirty boy." She noticed as he nodded.

"Yeah, I had a dirty day." Punk nodded, looking at his hands which were practically black, and he knew he had some marks on his face. After spending so much time around oils and pulling at things under cars, he always seemed to come home dirty. Some days worse than others.

"Hey, I like it." AJ smiled, walking over to him as he dumped the grocery bag on the counter, 'Makes you look rough." She smiled, wrapping her arms up around his neck as he smiled.

"I'm glad it does something for you." Punk nodded sincerely as she smiled, "How'd therapy go?" He asked her as she nodded, taking her hands from around him.

"Yeah, I felt better once I got there. I know I'm not one hundred percent but talking to Nicole really helped me. Lifted a lot of weight from my shoulders." She nodded.

"Good. I'm glad." He smiled. He was glad to see her feeling a little more like herself again. He supported any treatment that she took to help herself get better. At first when he knew she went to therapy, he felt like she was doing it because she couldn't talk to him, but he knew that was never the case, "What'd you talk about?" He asked her.

"Well I had to tell her about the baby." AJ said, "I know we're not telling anyone but, well that's what I talked about for the most part." She said, "Just doubts I had, you know." She nodded, "If I'm gonna be terrible mother or not." She looked up at him.

"That's what you think?" Punk shook his head.

"Well I don't know, do I? I don't know what a good mom does. Maybe I'll be terrible." She shrugged, even though she was feeling better about the whole thing after speaking to Nicole.

"April, do you think I know what a dad does?" Punk asked her, "The only time I saw my dad was when he was drunk and beating on my mom." He said, "I don't exactly have that much… inspiration either." He said, "But… doesn't that give us all the more reason to… be the best we can be. Give this kid a life, a family that we never had." He nodded as she smiled.

"Yeah, I realise that now." AJ smiled, "She's gonna be so loved." AJ smiled to herself.

"Uh… she?" Punk raised a brow.

"He, she, it… whatever it may be." She corrected with a smile.

"Well let's hope it's not an it." Punk laughed, "Although a little alien baby would be cute. Don't you think?" He asked her.

"You're watching too much V at night." She said.

"I know I am." Punk nodded casually, "Alright, I got some stuff for dinner. I'll go for a shower and come down and start it." He told her.

"I'll start it, you go enjoy your shower." She nodded, leaning up and pressing a kiss on his lips as he kissed back deeper, wrapping his arm around her waist as she pressed her body further into his, feeling him pick her up and lift her onto the kitchen counter.

He stripped his t-shirt off as she bit her lip and watched. She felt a lot hornier than usual and needed her urges to be fulfilled.

"I've not showered yet." Punk said, kissing her neck as she rolled her head back. Even just him kissing her neck felt so much different than before.

"Fuck." She moaned as Punk raised a brow, "I don't care." She told him, "I need you inside me." She moaned, unbuttoning her jeans, shimmying them down with her panties as he undone his own, freeing his hard length and finding her entrance, scooting her hips forward to him and sliding inside her, "Oh my God." AJ moaned blissfully, laying back on the counter as Punk smirked, "Fuck, that feels so good." She moaned as he thrust into her, holding her by the hips as she sat back up and cupped his face, "Really hard." She whispered and nodded, "Please." She begged.

Whenever he heard her beg, he just lost it sometimes, and so he started thrusting into her hard, giving her what she wanted as she placed her hands behind her to keep her up, rolling her head back, jumping a little when she felt him rub her clit at the same time.

"Fuck, baby." AJ moaned, "Yes, do that." She nodded, "Fuck, you're so good." She smiled to herself as he leaned forward and pressing his lips against hers, kissing her as he thrusted hard into her, smiling against her mouth hearing her moans. It was safe to say, dinner was delayed tonight.

When Dean got home to the apartment later that night after work, he saw Anna was already there. After seeking brotherly advice, he figured that he really did have to ask her about it now, he couldn't let it go on for any longer.

"Hey." Anna smiled upon seeing him, "How was work?" She asked him, wrapping her arms around him.

"Work was ok." He nodded with a smile, leaning down and pressing a kiss on her lips. He really loved her. He thought they were pretty compatible in certain areas, and they clicked the way he'd never clicked with another woman before, so it did hurt him to know she was lying to him, he just hoped it was for a good reason, "What about you?" He asked, pulling back from the kiss.

"Yeah, it was ok." Anna smiled, "Glad to see your face." She smiled, cupping his cheek and playing with the curls in his hair, "You wanna just order a pizza?" She asked him.

"Actually, first… I wanna talk." Dean said, leaning against the counter and folding his arms.

"Is everything ok?" Anna asked, her stomach suddenly in knots.

"I know you don't work at that salon." Dean nodded.

"What?" Anna shook her head.

"I went to pick you up one day from work, you weren't there and no one had any knowledge of an Anna who worked there." He said, "So… what's the deal? Why are you lying to me about where you work?" He asked her as she gulped and looked across at him.

"Dean, I didn't want to lie to you." Anna shook her head, seeing how hurt he was killed her. She did care about him. She did love him. She never intended for that to happen, and she was scared he would never believe her true feelings once he knew the truth, and… she didn't want to lose him. She wanted to tell him the truth a long time ago, but the thought of her mother was terrifying her.

"Well you did." Dean said bluntly, "So now… this is the part where you tell me the truth." He nodded as she looked across at him and sighed.

"I'm…" She looked down at the ground. She didn't want it to be like this and she hated herself for hurting someone she really did love and care about. He was the first man who'd ever clicked with her, and she hated what she was doing to him, but she'd been on the receiving end of her mother's disappointment before. It wasn't good. "I'm unemployed." She looked up at him as he looked across at her, "I was embarrassed. You have such a strong work ethic and I didn't want to say I had no job." She said, hating herself completely, but she was scared to lose him and scared of her mother.

"You thought I would have cared about that?" Dean asked, "I hardly work in a suit and tie with a briefcase." He said, "But you always go out. Like you're going to work." He said.

"I… help out doing some charity work." She said, which wasn't a lie, she did do that, "Makes me feel like less of a joke." She said.

"You're not a joke." Dean shook his head, "You really should have just told me. I really wouldn't have minded." He said.

"I know, I just… I wanted you to think of me in a certain way and once I got to know you, I realised you didn't care about that stuff." She nodded, "I'm sorry I never told you." She said. She felt beside herself for turning a lie into an even bigger lie, but she just couldn't come clean. She cared about him too much to lose him, and she knew what would happen if her mother found out. She really would have been unemployed. From a job that she had always wanted. The intention was never to fall for him. But she had. Pretty hard.

"It's ok." Dean nodded, walking over to her and wrapping his arms around her as she rested into his body and sighed.

Dinner for Punk and AJ ended up being delayed and due to it being so late they just sat on the couch with their food.

"Dean came to see me at work today." Punk said as AJ turned to him, placing her empty bowl on the coffee table.

"Is he ok?" AJ asked him.

"Yeah. Fine." Punk nodded, "Asked me for advice." He raised his eyebrows.

"With what?" AJ laughed a little.

"Relationship advice." Punk said as AJ smirked, "He found out that Anna isn't working where she said she was." He said, "I don't know, I told him just to ask her about it but… I don't want involved." He shook his head.

"She's lying to him about where she works?" AJ asked him as Punk nodded, "That's shit." AJ frowned, "Why do you think she's lying?" She asked.

"I don't know. Maybe she's ashamed of her actual job." Punk shrugged, "They'll talk it out, I'm sure." He said.

"Dean really loves her." AJ said as Punk nodded, "And I know she loves him. Why would she feel the need to lie? It's not like Dean is judgemental." She said as Punk nodded.

"I know. Hopefully they sort it out." Punk said, "But it's between the both of them. I don't want involved in it." He shook his head.

"Unless she hurts him." AJ warned as Punk nodded.

"Well, of course." Punk said, turning to her as she watched the TV, "You feeling a little better?" He asked, placing his hand on her thigh as she turned to him.

"Yeah, a little.' AJ nodded, "Going to therapy really helped. I really need to… start going back regularly, not just when I'm in a depressive cycle." She nodded, "We're not the only people in the world to become parents." She said, "For a minute I thought we were." She said as he smiled, "And we've got each other. We can help one another. We're in it together." She nodded.

"We are." Punk nodded, "We'll learn as we go." He said as she smiled and nodded, "It's still early days. We'll have time to… prepare ourselves, at least a little." He nodded, "We'll be a good mom and dad." He said as she smiled.

"Yeah." AJ smiled to herself, resting against him comfortably. She knew now that they were both learning, and no parent was ever ready to have a baby, no matter what age they were or what situation they were in with their lives. All she knew was that their baby was going to be so loved and taken care of.
