Pauline was on the couch watching the last episode of Criminal Minds, one of her favourite show. Jesse walked down the stairs and said annoying. "You never stop watching these things?" "Shut up! You don't know the whole story. That woman killed her husband because he cheated on her with his first love in High School." she answered without looking at him. "Are people watching that?" "It has 15 seasons Jesse. Even Romeo is watching it, i told him." she added feeling pride for herself and Romeo.
"You know you're crazy right?" "Yeah, i know. Now please sut up i'm trying to solve this case." Pauline yelled from the living room while Jesse was on the kitchen. With a glass of water in his hand he sut next to her. "I remember you that i'll go out with Cody tonight. What are you gonna do?" he asked as he saw that it had a commercial break. "Αva will come. We have some catch up to do all the five of us." Pauline said as her head was resting on his showlder. "She bought some books." she added. "What kind of books?" he asked looking down to her. "What to exept when you're exepting twins for me and you for How to be the best daddy ever." "And are you gonna read it? You hate reading books." "I do but i'm doing this for our kids." she answered.
As they were lying on the couch together Jesse put his hands on Pauline's belly. "They have grown up a little don't they?" he asked. "Yeah, they have." she answered by covering his hands with hers. "When is the next oppointement?" "In 10 days." "When we'll know the sex?" he asked again. "I don't know. But sure no on this one." "Do you want to know?" "I want to. If you don't i really have no problem. As long as they are healthy, the sex is the last thing that matters to me." she answered looking up to him and kissed him.
The break was over and the serie started again. Pauline was hooked up on TV while Jesse was upstairs dressing for his night out with Cody. Dressed in jeans and a shirt he walked down the stairs. He hound Pauline where he left her. "I know that they will be together." she said as the episode was finished. She stood up and walked to the kitchen when she saw Jesse walking down the stairs. He looked down to himself and asked. "How am i?" "Very good. When are you leaving?" she asked and Jesse followed her on the kitchen. "In 5 minutes." he answered and saw Pauline holding a bowl of ice cream. With a spoon in her hands she sut and start eatting.
"You want some?" she asked him. "No, thanks babe." "Then all this is for me..." she said and had a bite. "Time to go." he said checking his watch. He walked closer and gave her a kiss. "Don't be late. Ava will not stay for too long." she said when they broke up from the kiss. "Okay, i won't." he said and took his coat and left the kitchen and then the house.
A few minutes later Jesse arrived at the bar. He found a table and sut waiting for Cody. A waiter came and ordered something to drink. He was looking at the door but Cody hadn't arrived yet. His drink came and drunk a sip. He checked his phone he was late 20 minutes. He sighed as to his mind crossed the worsed scenarios about him. His phone buzzed. He checked the ID, it was Cody.
"Hey man where the Hell are you?" Jesse told him. "Hey, Jess i'm so sorry but i can't make it. Hannah has high fever and we're taking her to the hospital." Cody answered back. "Oh, Cod i'm so sorry. I hope is everything okay. If you need any help with Caleb call me." "Thank you, i apreciate that." Cody said from the other line of the phone. "Call me if you need anything." "I will. Bye." "Bye." Jesse said and hung up the phone.
He drunk a sip of his beer. He wanted to go home but he didn't want to ruin Pauline and Ava's night. So, he disided to stay a little more at the bar. He was sitting there alone when he heard "Jesse is that you?" Jesse turned his head left and his jaw fell. "Jennifer what are you doing here?" he asked. "I was having a drink. What about you?" "I was having a drink too." he answered. "I heard about the wedding and the twins. Congratulations." she said with a smile. "Do you mind if i join you?" she added looking him in the eyes.
Jesse froze for a minute. After all that she caused to Pauline and him she wants to sit with him. Sure they have been more than 7 years but Jennifer seems to be diferent. "Look, Jesse i know that you can't forgive me for what i did to Pauline and to you but i've changed." "I don't know Jennifer." he said and looked away. She sut on the seat across to him. "Do you think i'm this bad and i don't deserve a second chance?" "Everybody deserves a second chance Jennifer. But i'm not so sure if i must give you one. You hurt her more than anything else and i swear to God i won't let you do this to her or me one more time." he said and took his coat.
As he stood up Jennifer caught his arm. "I know what i mad you and her feel. I'm so sorry for that, i really am." she stopped him looking him in the eyes. "I'm not the one who should apologise to." he said and pulled away her hand from his arm. He walked away but Jennifer was determined he must listen what she has to say. Once he left the bar she run after him.
"Jesse wait. Please." she yelled. Jesse turned and answered. "Jennifer we don't have nothing to talk about." "Could you please listen what i have to say? I won't be long." she looked him in the eyes as she spoke. "Fine. Tell me." he said and put his arms on his waist. "Not here. Let's go to my place. Is not so far from here." she said. Jesse looked down to his feet for a second and then back to her. "Okay, you have 30 minutes." he said and start walking to Jennifer's house.
"You know you're crazy right?" "Yeah, i know. Now please sut up i'm trying to solve this case." Pauline yelled from the living room while Jesse was on the kitchen. With a glass of water in his hand he sut next to her. "I remember you that i'll go out with Cody tonight. What are you gonna do?" he asked as he saw that it had a commercial break. "Αva will come.

Pauline gave Ava a bowl full of ice cream. "So, i told you i found those books. I read some pages and they are really cool. You and Jesse should read them. They help a lot." Ava started and gave Pauline the books. "Thanks. I'll check on them later. Tell me how are you doing?" Pauline took a bite. "Pretty good. We start searching for furniture for the baby's room." "How are the grandparents doing? I haven't talked to them for a while." "Well, my Dad is just being my Dad. You know what this means." "I found it very cute." Pauline answered.
"It is. I knew that he's crazy about me and Adam but now with this little guy is very different." Ava explained. "He's just being a Sugar Grandfather." "He's writting a song about him already." Ava said and took an another bite of her ice cream too. "Really? That's cute." Pauline said. "Maybe Jon is going to write too?" she added. "Maybe an another album will be great and an another Tour." Ava joked and laughed.
"Don't laugh!" "Okay, i stop. How are you holding up?" "With the twins you mean?" she asked back. "Yeah." "Pretty good too. You know i was a twin too but my little brother died on the birth." Pauline said. "Wow. You never told me that before." Ava said suprised. "Yeah i know. Jesse doesn't know it either." "Where is he now?" "Out with Cody." "Oh, he start going out without you. Is he cheating on you?" Ava laughed.
"Nah, i don't think so. After what i did after the Show he will never dear." "But you didn't do anything." Ava asked back. She watched the Show and Pauline didn't do anything. "I didn't do it on the show. I did it on the bedroom." Pauline winked at her. "Oh, naughty girl!" "Yes, i am and i have no problem with that." she said and laughed along with Ava.

Jennifer opened the door of her apparment and let Jesse in. Jesse walked in and looked around at the living room. It was pretty big and very morden. "Have a seat. I'll bring some drinks." she said and disappear on the kitchen. Jesse sut on the couch and took off his coat. Jennifer returned with two glasses and a bottle of whiskey. She left it on the table and had a seat next to him.
She pured him a glass. "Thank you." he took in his hands and drunk a sip. "You know after what i did i wasted a lot time thinking. I'm seeing a therapist for the last 8 years and she helped me a lot dealing with my problems." "Did you get over them?" he asked drinking an another sip. "It took me a while but yes i did." she answered shaking her head. "It's good to hear." Jesse said and finished his glass. Jennifer notised it and said. "You want some more?" "Yes, please." Jennifer filling his glass with the liquor.
"As the years passed i realized that Pauline wasn't the reason of why i did all these. She was just the cause of it. Let's just say that she was the cherry on the top of the cake. I needed someone to blame for all the bad things that happen to me all the time." "Bad things like what?" he asked. Jennifer looked down to her feet and tears filled her eyes. She looked up to him and said. "My parents died 8 years ago on a car accident." she said with crying voice. "Oh Jennifer i'm so sorry to hear that." he said and hugged her for three seconds.
As they broke up from the hug she locked her eyes with his. She moved closer and kissed him soflty. He pulled away immediatly. "I'm sorry Jennifer but we could never have this again. I'm sorry." he told her and stood up from the couch. He took his coat and wear it. He had opened the door when he heard his name from Jennifer. "Jesse." she said. He turned and saw her completely naked. Just standing there in front of him naked.
"I know we will never have anything but i want to feel you one more time before i loose you forever." she said and walked closer to him. She wrapped her arms around him as she kissed him with passion. After two kisses Jesse stopped her. "Jennifer i told you. There nothing going one between us." "Remember Jesse how fucking it felt the last time we made love. It was so natural and so true. You never loved this girl, you did all these just to make me jelous. And you did it. Here i am Jesse. I'm standing in front of you." as she spoke she was unbottoming his shirt.
Jesse found the power and the strength to pull away one more time. But his living nightmare was right behind him. "If you don't feel nothing for me then come here and say it looking me in the eyes and i will never bother you again." she said and left. He was yelling her name to stop but she didn't. She walked in her bedroom and stopped in front of the bed. Jesse was following her. When she stopped he said. "I don't feel nothing for you. I'm sorry." he said but it was already too late to save himself or his future marriage with Pauline.
He was lying on the bed with her. It was right the momment when a man does not control his mind anymore. It was that momment when a man can not resist what a woman has to offer even though he doesn't have feeling for her. It was that momment when a man ruined all that he built since he met his one true long. It was the momment that he will hunt him for the rest of his life. It was the momment when he cheated on her.
