Jon was holding in his arms PJ while Costas was hοlding Kevin. They were both walking to all over the room with their grandsons like they were their new toy and they wanted to show the other kids. Jesse was looking at them and couldn't help himself but laugh. It's been now five days since PJ and Kevin came to this world and Jesse was feelling the change inside of him.
He could tell that by the way he was now looking at every person he knew. Everything was beautiful to him even spanich, which he hated it since he was a boy. But now he's a man with two little boys and a woman who will give anything just to see her smile.
Pauline walked out of the bathroom and saw Jesse sitting on a chair looking nothing in particular while her father and Jon were spending some time with the boys. She walked closer to him "Jess are you okay?" she told him looking him in the eyes. Jesse looked up at her. In his eyes she couldn't get more beautiful, not by the way she was dressed but by the way she talking, walking, thinking even drinking water. But there she was. Standing in front of him looking him in the eyes with the same fire like she could burn down the whole New York City by just looking at them.
"Yeah, i'm fine." Jesse said and kissed her hand. He stood up as he said "It's time to bring these little guys home." "Yeah, you're right about that." Pauline answered. She walked next to the window. She wanted to take a last look from this view. She looked down and saw about 50 person standing in the entrance.
She was about to say it when Jon's phone rung. Jesse walked next to his father who gave him PJ. "Hello? What? We can leave from an another door. Shit! I'll go there and say a few words so Pauline and Jesse can walk behind me to the car with the boys." Jon was talking with Ethan the headmaster of the privete security.
Fan were all over the building as long as reporters who will never leave until they hear a few words. "Ethan i don't know if they want to talk. Steph didn't say a word neither did Ava. They must leave. Yeah, okay i understand." Jon said and hung up.
"Let me guess. We can't leave because fans and reporters are all over the place and want us to speak to them about being parents?" Jesse looked over at his father holding his son. "Yeah, that's true." Jon answered. "You could say something simple and leave." Costas said. It was the only thing he could thing of.
"We can do that, right Jesse?" Pauline said and turned to face him. "Yes, i think we can." Jesse answered and put gently PJ in his seat. Everything was ready and taken care of so these two little guys can go home. Costas gave Kevin to Pauline and he put him on his seat next to his twin's brothers.
Jon and Costas left the room and they'll wait for them in the car. Pauline walked closer to the bed where her sons were sitting. Jesse put his hand around her waist and kissed her foarhead. Both they looked down to their newest family members. "They are beautiful. Thank you." Jesse told her.
Pauline hold him tight as she kissed him. "They are beautiful just like their father. Thankfully they got your eyes, i just hope to keep them." Pauline told him as they broke the kiss. Jesse looked down to his childern. Two pairs of light blue eyes like his were looking at them. "At least they got your nose." Jesse told her.
"I like your nose." Pauline said and kissed it. "You're the only one to believe that." he looked down at her. "It's the only thing i don't want them to got from me." he added. "Well, let's pray they both got your ass too." Pauline said and laughed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'll take them." Pauline spoke up and took in her hands the two baskets with her sleeping sons. She was walking on the sidewalk when she realized how much she had missed home, being at home. Jesse's Harley was still there waiting to be ride. She smiled and looked over to her shoulder at Jesse who was a few feet back holding her suitacase. That moment she felt like she was finally home with the man she loved all those years ago and with what their love had created.
They stopped in front of the door. Jesse unlocked it as he said "Welcome home boys!" The door opened and Pauline with the boys walked in first. Jesse closed the door behind him and he left the suitcase on the floor. As they both walked in towoards the living room the froze as they saw all the people they cared about being there.
A huge blue banner with white letters was saying 'Welcome home boys!' which was been holded by Romeo and Jacob. They all reached to greed the couple and see the boys sleeping. They all shut at the living room for the next hour talking as a family. Melina was mostly talking about the trips she had done so far because of her job. And she finally had made the sushi for Richie who was asking her for years to make it for him.
The boys woke up almost in the same hour, it was their lunch time. After that everybody left to let them rest and get used to having two babies in the house. Melina was staying with them until Jesse is coming back from Oregon. He had the past 5 days off so he can be on the hospital with Pauline.
After PJ and Kevin ate their lunch it was time to nap. Pauline put them on their cribs that Jesse fixed one month ago. She kissed them in the foarhead and left them sleep. Downstairs Melina was showing Jesse some pictures of Machu Pitsu. Jesse heard footsteps coming from the stairs and raised his head to see her and smiled.
"They fell asleep?" Melina asked. "Yeah, too easily to be honest." Pauline answered. "You cooked lunch?" Pauline asked melina looking at her with the stink eye. "Don't look at me like that! It's steak with potatoes. We don't have potatoes like these in Tokyo and i know is your favourite." Melina answered back as the three of them walked in the kitchen.
The table was fixed. "So, what do you think about Red Bank Melo? You didn't have to see that much the previous time." Pauline asked as she took a bite from her steak. "Pretty cool. Richie walked me around. Had a coffee with Romeo and Jacob. A dinner at your parents's." Melina answered. She was really suprised that they all wanted to help her and make her feel like she's a part fo the family.
"You finally cooked him sushi..." Jesse said. He knew how much Rochie and Melina loved sushi. "Man i don't know how many years he was waiting for that." Pauline answered. Since the day she met him he wanted Melina to cook him some sushi. "True. But i can say he liked it." Melina answered.
"With Roberto everything alright?" Pauline asked. She has been throught a terrible break up a few months ago. And in the right momment Roberto showed up and changed her life. Were the words Melina told her 3 three months ago on Skype.
Melina rolled her eyes as she heard the question. Pauline saw her and looked at her. "Come on! Don't tell me you're shy of Jesse." Pauline said. "I can leave." Jesse spoke up a little shy to answer. "No, Jesse you can stay. He asked me to live with him in the same house." Melina said after she looked at Jesse.
"That's great!" Pauline answered felling happy for her friend. "You don't want to live with him?" Jesse asked a little shy. It was a girls talk and he didn't really fit in. But he was feeling Melina like his friend too. He had talked with her on Skype many times with or without Pauline.
"I do want that. But we've been dating for only three months. I don't think i'm ready for a huge step like this. I see him everyday at the office. We go on trips together sometimes. But that's okay. I love spending time with him." Melina said while Pauline and Jesse were looking at her.
"I think you should give it a try. I lived with Jesse for only three days the very first time. But i gave him the chance because i love him and i think you should do the same." Pauline spoke up. She knew her better than Jesse. "But this has nothing to do with you and Jesse. You're with him since you're 16." Melina aswered back. "Still, i was young, wild and crazy. But i gave him a chance and see where we are now..." Pauline answered and drunk a sip of her water.
Jesse was between them eatting his lunch. Melina turned and looked at him. She wanted to say his opinion too. It count for both for a friend and for a man. "Jesse what do you think?" Melina finally asked him. Jesse looked at her. "Well, i might don;t know you like Pauline does. But you seem happier the last three months and all the times we talked on Skype. He's a good man and he loves you. And that's good enough for me. So, i think yeah you should live with him." Jesse answered to Pauline's best friend.
The same night after feeding the boys at 11.00 pm everyone was still tiried and go to sleep. Melina was sleeping on the guest room downstair. Pauline was laying on the bed when Jesse walked in the room from the inside bathroom wearing only his boxers. Pauline raised her head and was starring at him. As he was moving towoards her she could see every single muscle. She always loved looking his naked body but now even more. He was on the best shape of his life.
He layied next to her and put his arms around her. "I like that you're home. I missed you." he told her and kissed her. "I missed you too Jesse." she yawned. "I'll go to sleep. I have to feed them at 3.00" she kissed him goodnight and put the covers up. "Goodnight Paul." he kissed her foarhead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You got everything? I don't really mind staying for a little longer." Pauline said as she watched Melina putting her suitace in Romeo's car. Jacob was going back to Los Angeles today so was Melina to change for one more time to go back home to Tokyo. They booked the same day and hour to have someone to talk on the trip. It's really boring travelling alone.
"Yeah, i got everything." Melina answered. She hugged her tight. Pauline hugged her back. She gut get used to her being around like the old times. She wished she could stay for a few more days but Pauline knew how hard her work can be. "I'm going to miss you." Pauline said when they broke the hug.
"I'll miss you too." Melina answered as she tried to fight her tears. She always had a thing with saying goodbye to everyone, even her dog when it was time to go to work. "Texted me when you get to LA." Pauline said and turned to Jacob "Both of you!" "Yeah, we will. Come here give me a hug!" Jacob said and walked a few steps to hug Pauline.
"Send me a few pictures of PJ and Kevin, i want to print my favourite and put in my wallet. I have one with Stevie too." Jacob said when they broke the hug. Pauline smiled as she answered. "Sure." "Come on guys, you'll miss the flight!" Romeo yelled from the driver seat. Melina and Jacob gave Pauline a quick hug and kiss goodbye.
Romeo drove away a few seconds later. Pauline was standing there on the side walk waving at them. Once she couldn't see the car anymore she walked back home. Closing the door behind her everything was so quite in the house. The boys were sleeping and Jesse was probably flying back home or he had already landed. She remembered when he was still at the Oregon airport 4 hours when he called her before they were getting on the plane.
He wasn't at his best mood. They had lost from a team which was more worse than them. She wacthed a little of the game yesterday with Melina while they boys were sleeping. She never understood how to play football even though Jesse had explained to her many times. She could tell byt just looking at him from the TV screen he had one of the worse games on his life. They lost many takedowns because he didn't run as fast as he could.
Pauline couldn't understand the rules but she understood how he must had felt. She wished she was there to comfort him or just seat there next to him. She had known over the years that when he's angry or sad just seating there next to him holding his hand means a lot to him.
Without even knowing how she got in the nersury, Pauline was sitting on that rocking chair Richie bought for them. She was watching them sleeping and she could tell that they grow up a little or it was just her imagination. She was looking forwaord to see them growing up and becoming the men she wanted raise, the men they wanted to raise. Of course an another child or maybe two wouldn't hurt anyone. They both always wanted a big family and that's what they'll have.
Jesse opened the door of his house and threw the bag on the floor. Pauline heard that noise and stood up from the rocking chair. Walking down the stairs she saw Jesse's bag but not him. He was always waiting for her on the living room when he was coming back from a game. Suprised but happy that he was back Pauline walked in the kitchen.
There she found Jesse sitting on the table. A bottle of vodka was in the middle of the table. He started that habit 3 years ago when they were eliminated from the NFL for the first in history. And every time something was not going as he wished, vodka was there to help him forget at least from his point of view.
Pauline saw him and sighed. She shoot next to him. He didn't turn to kiss her or look at her. He was just starring out of the window with a glass full of vodka in his hands. "Jesse vodka is not the answer." she broke the silence. Jesse left the glass on the table and looked at her. "And you'll tell me where is the answer?" he answered back angrily. Pauline wasn't expecting that behavior at all. "You just lost a game not the finals!" she said looking at him. "We lost beacuse i couldn't catch a motherfucking ball!" he answered and drunk a long enough sip to empty the glass.
"I understand what you're going throught.." Pauline started but Jesse stopped her and looked her in the eyes. "Don't you ever say that again. You barely understand the rules and you tell me you know how i'm feelling? As i'm not talking about volleyball you'll not talk about football, you understand me?" he raised his voise in the last words.
He was looking so deep in her eyes like he could see her soul. "I just want to make you feel better." while Pauline was talking he refilled the glass and drunk it in no time. "I can do that from my own." he answered. "By drinking vodka?" she asked him. "Why? You have any problem with that too?" his voise was still raised. Pauline took the glass from his hands. "Drinking in done." she told him and stood up.
Jesse stood up too and caught her by the arm with a little more strenght that he should. "Give me my glass back!" he demanded. Pauline looked back at him as she answered. "That's not you Jesse. This will not change the result. So stop acting like a kid and take the responsibilities. End of story!" she yelled now a bit too just to make him listen to her. She was very disappointed watching him drinking. She knew that this will only make things worse. She didn't want that especially now that they started a family together.
She walked away and before she was about to exit the kitchen she turned and said "You didn't even ask if Kevin and PJ are okay." she told that with low voise. She kinds of hurted too. He knew he had a bad time but she was there willing to help him. He had no right to behave like that. Jesse was standing there looking at her climbing the stairs.
"Yeah, i got everything." Melina answered. She hugged her tight. Pauline hugged her back. She gut get used to her being around like the old times. She wished she could stay for a few more days but Pauline knew how hard her work can be. "I'm going to miss you." Pauline said when they broke the hug.
"I'll miss you too." Melina answered as she tried to fight her tears. She always had a thing with saying goodbye to everyone, even her dog when it was time to go to work.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The same night Pauline went to be bed early. She didn't talk with him that mush as they should. The alarm clock woke her up. It was the middle night feed time for the boys. Stooding up from the bed she notished that Jesse wasn't on the bed with her. In the back of her mind she knew that he'll be in the kitchen drinking all alone. She didn't want to go there and of course she didn't want to see him drinking again.
She stopped at the begginng of the stairs and she saw them on the living room. Jesse was only wearing a pair of shorts and he was barefoot. He was holding them in his arms. PJ on the left and Kevin on the right. He was holding them close to his body and Pauline could only see their small heads resting on his shoulders. They were both sleeping and Jesse was walking up and down to the living room low singing for them. As he turned Jesse saw on the top of the stairs Pauline looking at them.
He smiled, it was the only thing he could do. Pauline walked down the stairs and stopped in front of him. He had that sad look on his face. Not because they lost in the game but because she talked to her like that on the morning. "I'm sorry." he whispered in order not to wake the boys up. "I know." she whispered back. Even it was 3.00 am his light blue eyes were still shining, like they always did.
"I love you." he told her and kissed her lightly.
