"I want to stay away from him." Jesse broke the silence while he was playing with her soft hair. Pauline looked up at him "From Mike? Why?" "Because he's the reason...." "You're wrong here Jess. Mike was in love with Jennifer but she learn that she was using her. So he came to me knowing that i'll be alone. We got drunk and you know the rest...." Pauline explained.
"That doesn't change anything. I still don't trust him. What if we didn't walk in that moment?" Jesse asked. "I don't know what could had happend. Can we please change the subject? Because the more we talk about it the more i want to kill Jennifer." "You don't have to go to jail for her... Just let it go, please for me?" he asked with the voise of a 5 year old.
"Mmm! I'll think about it. Come here." she said and kissed him. "But i can't show up and say 'hey Mike you must stay 100 feet away from me because Jesse is jelous.'" she added when the broke the kiss. "I didn't say that he'll stay 100 feet away from you. And i'm not jelous...." "Yes, you are. Don't forget that i'm not the one who cheated with his ex-girlfriend....."
"You'll have to remind me that?" "Always and forever. But i'll do my best....." they both laughed a little. "I will hate what i have to say but i have to go..." she said as she looked at him with sadness written all over her face. "No, stay just a little longer.... please...." Jesse said and grabbed her arm before she could get up from the bed.
"Just because i forgive that doesn't mean i trust like i used to. Plus i'm here more than 2 hours." she said and got up from the bed. "I know that but there is no time limit. Please stay." Jesse begged and walked behind her. "Are you still mad?" he asked a few seconds later. He was watching putting her clothes on. "I'm not mad, Jesse. I'm dissapointed. But to be clear, you have lots of work to earn my trust back." she said and wore her jacket. "Yeah, i know. I'll do my best. But please stay a little longer." she turned and looked at him. "No. See you around." she answered and blew him a kiss as she opened the door and left.
"That doesn't change anything. I still don't trust him. What if we didn't walk in that moment?" Jesse asked. "I don't know what could had happend. Can we please change the subject? Because the more we talk about it the more i want to kill Jennifer." "You don't have to go to jail for her... Just let it go, please for me?" he asked with the voise of a 5 year old.

Pauline was walking in the hallway the next morning. At the end of it she saw Mike taking some books from his locker. She smiled and walked closer to him. "Morning to you!" Pauline said. He closed the door of his locker and said "What are you doing?" "I'm talking to you." she answered and start walking with him. "Why? I kissed you and was on the top of you when Jesse and Ava walked in." she stopped walking and looked at him.
"Well, at least we didn't have sex like he did." she said and laughed. "Really? And what did you do?" Mike asked back suprised. "The same..." "Yeah?" "Whhat you thought that i'll leave things like that? He was so out of his element when i started it..." "You didn't kill her didn't you?" Mike asked knowing that pauline's temper wasn't that good.
"Of course not. I don't want to be in the jail for the rest of my life. We have all the time we need to do the things we like. And for some reason i want to go to a luna park..." she answered. "Yeah, we can go there but..." Mike started. He knew that this time would come. "I need to tell you something first...." "Okay, what is it?" "They fired my Dad." he said.
"Oh Mike i'm so sorry.... if there is anything i can do you know i can do it. You want me to give you some cash? if we go now we can find the Bank open. Come on...." Pauline started but Mike stopped her by grabbing her arm. "You don't have to do any of these.Plus.... oh damn.... Why is this so hard?" he asked himself almost yelling.
Pauline walked closer to him. "Mike is everything alright?" "No, nothing is alright. We're going back to Michigan." "No you can't move. Not right now. I'll tell my Dad to find a job for yours in the company." she said in a hurry. She doesn't want him to leave.She pulled her phone from the jean pocket. "It's okay Pauline. These anything you can do." "But i can't let you leave Mike. You can't leave in the middle of the school year." "My uncle back in Michigan had already take care of that. I'm sorry." he said. It was hard for him too. He liked it here and he doesn't want to leave. But he has to.
"Pauline i'm sorry. I should have told you earlier. But after what happend with Jennifer slipped out of my mind." "Is not your fault Mike. But i'm not that good on saying goodbyes." she said and both laughed. "I think the bell had already rung." "What we have now?" "English." "Suriously? Oh my God! She's going to kill me." she said in a hurry and start walking faster. "Mike move your money maker. Don't look at me like that. That bitch is a darksider and she doesn't like me since the first day. So we better hurry because i want to live my life." she said while she was wlking next to Mike. He always liked the way she is saying things. That will be what he will miss the most.
"Of course not. I don't want to be in the jail for the rest of my life. We have all the time we need to do the things we like. And for some reason i want to go to a luna park..." she answered.

"Happy birthday!!!!" Ava yelled when Pauline opened the door. Without even know it Ava was hugging her. "Mm! Ava she need to breathe remember?" Alex said from behind. Ava broke the hug and looked at Pauline. "Yeah, sorry. Where is everyone?" "Back in the pool..." Pauline answered as she closed the door. The three of them walked to the pool. "Where is Richie?" Pauline asked. "He and Tori went to the city for a job. Don't worry my little Darksider he wouldn't miss your birthday....." Ava joked.
"Haha. Very funny Sambora. Alex you should keep her home with a tape on her mouth. I could picture it!" Pauline said and laughed. "And i can picture you in the bottom of this pool...." Ava answered back she doesn't realized the she was standing next to the pool. It was too easy for Pauline to push her into the water.
Zeta along with Romeo and Jacob couldn't stop laughing. Ava was looking at Pauline with the devils look while she was getting out of the pool. "Never mess with a Darksider darlin'!" Pauline said and went to the table.
She seat next to Jesse. "What's wrong?" she asked. Jesse didn't seem to be in a good moood today. "Nothing. Maybe is the sun. Is too hot today...." "Well, we can take care of that. Come..." she said and held out her hand. Jesse was more than willing and took it. They walked together and jumped into the cold water of the pool.
They were fooling around in the pool for more than an hour. They were happy and this is all what matters. Jesse was the first who jumped out of the pool and handed to Pauline her towel. She wrap her towel around her waist and sut on the table.
Pauline's parents and Jesse's were sitting to the table next to the pool. "Pauline sweetie when do you want to blow your candles?" her mother asked as long as she sut on the chair. "Not yet. Richie, Joker and Tico are not here." Pauline answered and took a sip from her coke. "Okay, whatever you want, is your birthday after all." her mother answered and smiled with pride.
"I'm going to have an another drink." she said and jumped out of the chair. "I'll come with you!" Jesse said and followed her. When they walked in the living room Jesse wraped his arms around her. "Jess they'll see us!" "Don't worry they won't." he said and kissed her.
His hands on his cheeks and his lips on hers. He was kissing her slowly like she wanted. "That was only the 1% of your birthday present." he said when the broke apart. "Wow. if that was only the 1%, i can't wait!!" she said and took from the fridge two cokes.
With them on her hands the bell rung. Pauline opened the door. "Happy birthay!" the whole Rashbaum family said. "Oh thank you. Come in." she answered with a smile. "Now, where is the cake and where is the party? Is been a while since i let the Joker out?" David being David asked. "You must a little for the cake Joker. Bit the party is outside...." Pauline answered and tried to close the door but a hand stopped it.
"Hey, Angel we are here too......" Tico said. "Oh Teek i'm so sorry! I didn't see you.." she apologized. "Happy birthday Pauline!!!!" Hector said with the beautiful smile of his. "Oh thank you very much Hector....... Come on give me your t-shirt Romeo is in the pool and he's waiting for you." she said and walked with him on the pool.
A few minutes later all the kids were in the pool and they were playing around. They were throwing waters to each other. While the kids were on the pool their parents were in the table and were talking. It was that momment when Richie with Tori walked in.
"Why the door is wide open?" Richie asked Katerina. "I don't know. Pauline was the last who answered the door." she answered and lookedto Pauline who was in the pool. As soon as Pauline notised that Richie and Tori were here it was time for the cake.
"Hey guys! I'm glad that you came." Pauline said and left the towel back to its place. "Happy birthday Angel!" Richie said and hugged her. "Thank you! Now that were are all here is time for the cake don't you think?" she answerd when she broke apart and looked to the little ones. "Yeah...." Romeo and Hector said with one voise.
"Not so soon. Tori and i want to tell you something first." Richie started. All eyes were looking at these two. "Is everything alright?" Jon asked his 'brother'. "For the first time after all these years finaly everything is fine..." Richie answered and took Tori's hand. "Daddy what's going on?" Ava asked worried.
"Don't worry princess! The four of us we are going to be a great family!" "Four what four? Is Tori pregnant?" Ava asked with her eyes rolled. "I'm you ng but i'm not that young." Tori answered back and laughed. "These is someone i want you to meet." Richie said and disappear.
He came back a few seconds later. Next to him was a little boy who was holding his hand. "I want you to meet Adam Zachary. Adam from now on this is your family...." he said to the little boy. Adam looked up at his brand new father and mother.
They were all lost their words. They didn't see this coming. Ava took some steps and stopped in front of the little boy. "Hey Adam. I'm your sister Ava." "Nice to meet you Ava.... Can i hug you, please?" her new brother asked her. Who would say no to a 6year old? "Of course you can!" she said and opened her arms.
Ava stood up having her little brother in her amrs. She looked to her father and Tori who were happy more than ever. She could see that her father is happy, she had missed his old self. But now he's back and he wil never leave again.
"Haha. Very funny Sambora. Alex you should keep her home with a tape on her mouth. I could picture it!" Pauline said and laughed. "And i can picture you in the bottom of this pool...."

Pauline came back from the kitchen with two bottles of beer. She smiled when she walked in tot he pool area. Jesse was sitting there with his legs it, like Adam did this morning. Jesse as soon as he heard the sound of her flip flops he turned. "Here." she said and gave him his beer. "Thanks." he answered.
She sut down next to him and put her legs to the pool too. "Unique birthday huh?" Jesse asked and took a sip of his beer. "Yeah, every year i'm more and more suprised in my birthday, i got used to it. But the adoption thing, i didn't saw that coming...." she answered. "Me too either...He's unpredictable." "He didn't say it to your Dad?" Pauline asked suprised. She thought that Jon will know about it.
"Nope, you saw how suprised he was. How suprised we all were." "Yeah, Ava was most suprised than anyone. She was all the time next to him." Pauline answered remembering that she was like that with her little sister. "She never had any siblings Paul. She's not like us...." "But she is now.... Man Adam is so sweet... I want to take him in my arms and never let him go...." she answered and took an another sip of her beer.
"And that whole name thing. Do you think is fated? I mean they didn't named him at this age..." "Nothing is fated babe. He was made to be their baby..." Jesse said and smiled. "And you were made to be mine..." Pauline answered and pulled him closer for a kiss.
While they were kissing next to the pool with the moon light for the backround the bell rung. Pauline rolled her eyes. "Come on. Suriously? Who the fuck is now?" she cursed and stood up. Jesse folllowed. Pauline opened the door and faced a bucket of white roses.
Behind that bucket Mike was hiding. "Did i miss anything?" he asked. "Oh my God!! Mike!!!!" Pauline said and hugged him. Mike hugged her back and looked to Jesse who was nodding his head. "What are you doing here? How did you come?" she wanted to ask him a million questions right now.
"Jesse called me. Plus i couldn't miss your birthday..." he answered and smiled. "Oh my God!! I can't believe you're here. We have lots of catch-up to do. I'm going to bring some beers. You guys go to the pool i'll be right back....." Pauline said super exited and disappear in the kicthen.
"Thanks man for coming. She needed it." Jesse said to Mike. "I must be the one who must thank you Jess. And i'm sorry about what happend that night. I didn't have the chance before." "It's okay Mike. This belong tot he past now. All i want is to make her happy. I'll do anything to make her happy..." Jesse said as they both sut on the ground next to the pool.
"I know. I'm happy that she has a man like you by her side." Mike said. "Thanks." Jesse answered and nodded his head. He knew that Mike was right and his was his bad of blaming him for what happend that night. It wasn't his fault. but he didn't care now. he and Pauline were better than ever and deeply in love with each other. He couldn't ask for anything else.
