The next morning Pauline woke up and found Melina on the kitchen having breakfast. "Morning." she said. "Morning you too. I'm sorry about yesterday I didn't know that." Pauline said and sut next to her. "You don't have to apologise to me. How was your lunch with George?" "Pretty good." She said and looked down. Melina looked at her and asked. "What happend?" "He want to be the father of my kids." Pauline said after a few seconds.
"He wants to be what? B-But how?" "He said that he never stopped loving me. I believe him." "And now what? Are you going to marry him? And Jesse?" Melina asked but she regret it a second later. Pauline looked back at her with the stink eye. "Don't ever say his name again, do you understand me?" "I'm sorry." Melina felt very bad right now. "I think he has the right to know. He hadn't heard new from you since you left. We both know that he doesn't deserve it, after what he had done. But he's the father of your childern. If you were in his shoes you would had gone crazy."
"In case you forget, i wasn't the one who cheated. He deserves everything. I still can't believe that i gave all those years of my life to him. But the years flowed by and i'm changed, Melina. I'm not going to do the same mistakes again." she paused. "I think George will be a great father." Pauline said and stood up. "Now, if you excuse me i'm going to take a nap." Pauline said and left Melina with no words.
Minutes later Pauline was laying on the bed listening to music. Music always had been the best way to forget your problems. Louis was sitting next to her like he always did. But this time was different. She couldn't see him because of her belly. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger by the day. Now, knowing the sex of the babies she was carring, she should think about some names too.
In Greece there is a tradition that the first born kid of the family is named after the the father of the man. In that case Pauline didn't mind her son been named John, which is also a Greek name. On the other hand she wanted to name her other son Contastine, just like her father, but that couldn't work as an English name. It was a hard decison which was needed to be taken. But they have 4 months until the birth, that's a long time to think two names.
her thoughts were in a chaos when her phone rung. She saw the ID and it was her mother calling her. "Hey mommy! How are you? she asked. "Where the hell are you?" Pauline raised her eyebrows. "In the house." "Don't lie to me Pauline. I'm in your house right now an neither you or Jesse is here. I was calling you like 10 times a day the past week and you didn't answer your home phone. Are you guys on vocation?" "Not exuactly. Actually, i'm in ..." she paused to take a deep breath. "I'm in Athens." Oh great! You went to show Jesse your hometown, great! But the next time give us a call."
"I'm in Greece mom! And probably Jesse is in his house too." With these two sentenses Pauline creat a silence between the two lines. "What happend?" her mother asked. Pauline knew that she was going to hear it one way or another. It will be better to hear it from her. "Jesse and i broke up." and after that silence. "What do you mean broke up? How had broke up severale times before." "I know, but this time final." she said closing her eyes for a second. She didn't want to believe it.
"Are you joking?" "No, mum i'm not. It's the truth and you need to get over it." "What about the marriage? Your childern? The house? Will you come back?" were a lot of questions with one breathe. "Mum i'm sorry but i'm not going to marry him. The kids will be born here, in Greece. As far for the house and me coming back don't expect me because i'm not coming back." Pauline said.
"Honey, what did he do to you?" her mother asked. "Look mum, i got to go. Is getting late here and i'm very tired." her mother couldn't say anything but "Okay, sleep well and take care. I'll call you tommorow." "Okay, mommy. I love you." Pauline said and blow her a kiss over the phone. "I love you too." her mother answered and Pauline hung up the phone.
Minutes later she was in the Bongiovi house. "Ava what do you want?" Jesse asked her as soon as he saw her on his doorstep. "First of all who are you and what you did to Jesse?" Ava asked him. She was facing a different Jesse. He was wearing his pj's and he didn't shaved the last fouyr months that Pauline was gone. "You now how to use a shave machine right?" she asked him as she walked in the house.
"Ava i'm not in the mood." "You are not in the mood for four months now, Jesse. You need to get over it." Ava said as she walked to the living room. "Did World War III started from you living room?" several beer bottles were on the table as long as on the floor too. "If you came here to judge me the door is right there!" he said with agressive voise and pointed the door. "Woah Jesse chill out. I'm here to see how are you doing." Ava said with soft voise.
"I'm fine. I've never been better!" he answered and took a beer bottle in his hands and took a sip. Ava looked up at his tired blue eyes which had defently lost that sparkle. "We both now that's not true." "So, what do you want me to say? That i'm happy here? That i'm happy because i will never see my kids? Is that what you to hear Ava? Cause is not going to happen." he yelled.
"No, i just want to make you feel better." "Ava i'm sorry but nothing right now could make me feel better exept one." he stopped. Ava knew what he will say but she didn't hear it. "I want to see the rest of the video with me." Jesse said and put the cd on the dvd player before Ava could answer. "Jesse i don't think that's a good idea." "Just wait and see." he answered.
When the video finished Jesse sut next to suprised Ava. "This is what i wanted you to see. I knew that if i send it to Pauline will not see it and i was hoping you will." "So, this is what you wanted to explaine." Ava answered looking at him. "Yeah..." Jesse answered and looked down to his feet. Ava touched his hand. "This changes everything and you know it." "I know but she will not listen to me." "She doesn't need to hear Jesse, all she needs is to see." Ava stated.
"He wants to be what? B-But how?" "He said that he never stopped loving me. I believe him." "And now what? Are you going to marry him? And Jesse?" Melina asked but she regret it a second later. Pauline looked back at her with the stink eye. "Don't ever say his name again, do you understand me?" "I'm sorry." Melina felt very bad right now. "I think he has the right to know.

Pauline had pressed the call botton on her phone the next morning. She put it on her ear and waited. "Hello?" she heard from the other line. "Hey, George it's me, Pauline." "Oh hey girl! How are you doing?" George asked back. "Pretty good thanks." she paused. "Look, George i thought what you said the other night." "And?" "We're not having this over the phone. Can you come over?" Pauline asked him. "Yeah, sure i'm on my way." George said and hung up .
About thrirty minutes later the bell rung. Pauline took a deep breath before she opened the door. "Hey!" George said with a smile. "Come in." Pauline said and George did. She closed the door and said. "Have a seat." George sut down to one of the two couches. "Can i get you anything?" "No no i'm fine." George answered.
Pauline walked and sut on the other couch. It was a weird momment for both of them. Both of them wanted to talk but none of them knew what to say. "So, what do you want to tell me?" George asked. He wanted to know. "Look George i thought of what you said and i want you to be the father, if you still want." she said and looked at him.
"Of course and i still want." he said exited. "You have no idea how happy this make me." Pauline smiled. "So, now you don't have to stay with Melina anymore. You can move in in my house in Dionysos." George said. "I don't know George..." she answered to him. She knew Dionysos is the richest suberbe of Athens and she knew her kids will have everything they need in their livies but she wasn't sure if she wanted to cross that line.
"Okay okay when you are ready."she stopped to take Pauline's hands in his. "I promise you Pauline you will not regrete this. I'll be the best father ever. I will love your childern like they are mine. I'll be there for them, i promise." Pauline's position was getting really weird. She didn't know what to say right now. All she could do was look at him.
Meanwhile Ava just rung the bell on Pauline and Jesse's house. She was there for a few minutes but now she was sure that Jesse wasn't there. She sighed as now things were getting more and more clear. Pauline will never come back and Jesse moved back to live with his parents. She couldn't blame Pauline because she would had done the same things. Ava was hoping that Pauline will be back but now she is convined that this is not going to happen. All she could do now is be there for Jesse, even though he doesn't deserve it.Pauline walked and sut on the other couch. It was a weird momment for both of them.

Good chapter. Thank you.

Pauline is making a big mistake asking George to be the father of the babies, and she is being selfish. Yes Jesse cheated, but why do the kids have to grow up thinking George is their father when he isn't. They are being denied their true heritage. In my opinion Pauline needs to grow up.
