Jesse was laying on the bed from his side. He was resting his head on his palm while he was watching PJ and Kevin just sitting there trying to crawl. It was the best scene Jesse could ever watch. Watching his children growing up every day. He was enjoying it and he wanted to be more at home than on trainnings or somewhere in the world playing football. And when he was away all he was thinking were these two. They were only three months old and they have changed everything.
Pauline walked in the bedroom and saw the three of them laying on the bed. She smiled. "Time to nap already?" Jesse asked a little unhappy. He wanted to spend more time with them. "Yeah, sorry Jesse. But look at their eyes, they are tiried." Pauline answered and took Kevin in her arms. For her suprise Kevin smiled at her while he was looking at her with his light blue eyes.
"Come on buddy time to sleep." she told him and walked out of the bedroom. Jesse followed with PJ. When Jesse and PJ walked in the nursery Pauline had already put Kevin in his crib. Jesse did the same. He fixed the covers and kissed his foarhead. Before he left the room he turned the mic on just in case something happen to them.
Jesse walked down the stairs and found Pauline sitting on the couch watching TV. Jesse shut next to her. Pauline didn't look at him. She was still watching that movie which doesn't even knew the plot. Jesse looked at her and sighed. He knew why she was behaving like that. It was his fault and they both knew that.
"I want to talk about something." he finally broke the silence. "What about?" she asked back without facing him. "About our wedding." he said before he shallowed hard. "What about our wedding?" Pauline asked and looked at him. "I was thinking about it on my way back from the Stadium. I think we should find some possible dates first." Jesse answered.
"Alright then." Pauline simply answered. "I was thinking about 23th of July." he told her when she looked again at the TV. "Works for me. And probably for most of the guests." Pauline answered. She knew what Jesse was trying to do. She wanted to talk about her wedding with him more than anything in the world right now. But she was still mad at him, even though she forgave him that day doesn't mean she forgot what he had done.
Jesse was sitting next to her watching her close. He knew she was mad at him. He couldn't blame her. Even though he was trying to stop drinking that much, he couldn't do it all at once. He was taking one step at a time but he kinda walking alone on this one. Pauline is too buzy with the twins she barely has time to take a long bath or go out of the house.
Pauline stood up and turned off the TV. "I'll go to sleep. I have to feed the boys in 5 hours." she said and checked if the alarm on her phone was activated. "Okay." Jesse answered from the couch and watched walking up the stairs.
He was sitting there all alone with his thoughts creating a mess on his head. He knew she was tiried, more tiried than he couldn't even think about. But they were talking about their wedding. Their wedding that they both wanted since they were in High School. She made it clear to him a few days ago when she emptyied every single bottle of vodka in the house. He had promised her not to buy an another one and of course don't drink.
He had made that promise in the name of PJ and Kevin. He will stop drinking to much for them. He didn't want his kids remembering him like who was gone and drunk the most of the times. He wanted to be the best possible father, he knew it was hard but all he has to do is try.
Jesse stood up and walked up the stairs. He stopped in front of the nersury to see if the boys were sleeping peacefully, like they were. Leaving his sleeping sons behind he entered the master bedroom. Pauline was there probably sleeping. Jesse shut on the bed looking over at the view of the river from the balcony.
He was so lost in looking the night view and when Pauline placed her hand gently on his back he jumped. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." she almost whispered. Jesse turned around and faced her. "Why are you crying?" he asked her while he touched her face with his left palm. "Because i'm been so cruel to you downstairs. You wanted to talk about our wedding which is one of the best things we can do. And all i did was ignore you." Pauline told him.
Jesse looked at the tear rolling down her cheek. He moved closer to her and hugged her. "Don't worry about that. I deserve it." Jesse answered and he wraped his arms around her. He kissed her. "We'll talk about it tommorow before my training, okay?" he looked down at her and she nodded. "Now, go to sleep." Jesse ordered her and kissed her goodnight.

PJ and Kevin were wearing the best clothes they had as their parents. Pauline was wearing a black dress and Jesse a nice pair of pants with a matching shirt. It was New Year's Eve and they were invited at the Sambora house to celebrate the new year and Tori's birthday.
"We have everything right?" Jesse asked as he locked the door. "Yeah, i got food a dozen of diapersnand everything they'll even need." Pauline answered and opened the door of the car to take her of the twins. The boys were all readyand Jesse pulled over of the drive way.
"We'll tell them tonight?" Jesse asked at some point. "Yeah, why not? New year, something to wait for 7 months." Pauline answered and looked at him. "And your parents?" "They'll come over with Zeta tommorow and i'll tell them then." Pauline answered. "That's good. I'm looking forwoard to that day." Jesse smiled.
"We have 7 months babe. At least we booked a nice hotel with a great view." "Pauline every hotel in Hawaii has a great view. You should ask uncle Richie about that. he had stayied in every hotel in Oahu. He knews better that us." Jesse answered. "You're right about that." Pauline said and paused. "I must e-mail the invitations to Melina and Maria tommorow." "You should. Call them on Skype it will be better to see how they'll react." Jesse said and laughed.
"I just hope Maria doesn't pass out. And of curse if they can make it to Hawaii that will be awesome. I missed her wedding i don't want to miss mine too." Pauline answered and looked at the backseat. PJ and Kevin were looking outside of the window probably wandering where they were going. When Pauline turned back again she said. "We should book tickets for the plane also for all of us." "We don't need that." "Are we going on foot to Hawaii?" Pauline aksed back with raised her eyebrow. "Why are you always forget the Jovi Jet i will never understand." Jesse answered and looked for a second at her.
"Oh yeah right. The Jovi Jet. It can fit us all right?" "Sure and it can. We'll take the new one, it's bigger." Jesse informed her. He had travelled with every single one across the world and he loved them all since he was a boy. "It will be nice." Pauline answered and tryied to imagine that day.
Moments later they had arrived at the Sambora house. Everything was set for dinner. Benjamin, PJ and Kevin were playing with their toys in the part of the living room that Richie had made for them. Stevie was being Stevie and he was running around or he was watching his three cousins play. Everybody else was sitting on the big enough table to fit them all.
They all raised their glasses and wished Tori happy birthday. "Should we tell them now or on the next year?" Pauline whispered to Jesse who laughed. Only three more hours and they'll welcome 2022 with open arms. "Next year will be better. You know to welcome the new year with great news." Jesse whispered back. "Yeah, you're right about that." Pauline answered and took a bite of her food. "Hey why are you too whispering?" Ava asked them. "Because we can." Jesse answered and laughed with almost everyone on the room.
"I want to tell you all something." Romeo started and waited until everyone was looking at him. "What is it Romeo?" Dorothea asked her youngest son a little suprised. "I got an e-mail from Yale School of Architecture a few days ago." Romeo added and looked Pauline in the eyes. "Pauline the letter you wrote made them change their minds and they want me!" he told her with a smile.
Pauline rolled her eyes as Romeo finished. "Congratulations Romeo! You deserve it. I knew you're going to make it!" Pauline yold him and smiled. "This letter was really touching." Romeo answered back. "I know. That was the letter i wrote to get into College and from what it seems it doesn't lost its glory." Pauline answered and watched everybody gongratulate Romeo. She couldn't feel more proud of him.

Pauline was sitting next to Jesse while they were all waiting for the change o the year. "After the change we tell them. I can't wait." Jesse whispered to her ear. Because of thr music and the people who were talking it will be hard for Pauline to listen to him if he didn't whisper. "Okay." Pauline answered and looked up at Tori who said something but they didn't hear it.
They all gathered around the hostages of this evening to chnage the year all together. They all start looking at their watches in their hands as they started the countdown. "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. HAPPY NEW YEAR!" they all said outloud when the clock start tocking on January 1st of 2022.
"Happy new year babe." Pauline told Jesse and kissed him for the first time this year. "Happy new year sweetheart." Jesse answered back and kissed her lightly. "It's going to be a good one, don't you think?" Jesse asked when he broke the kiss. "Sure it is. Let's greet everyone else now." she answered with a smile.
Just a few minutes later and everybody was looking at pauline and Jesse. They both could hear some whispers and looked at each other. They knew it was time to tell them all they couldn't hide it anymore. Jesse cleared his throat as his palms were getting sweaty. he was feeling sick ot his stomoack like he was sitting exams. He looked next to him where Pauline was standing. She was way more relaxed than him and he couldn't understand why.
She still had that smile full of promises on her lips which always gave Jesse a rescue hand when he was needing it, like now. Pauline knew him very well now and she could tell he was more nervous than he should be. She looked at him and she knew it was time to start talking. "Jesse and i wanted to tell you." Pauline paused and looked at him. "We are getting married on the end of July." she told all their loved one as Jesse took his hands in hers.
