Here is the beginning of my Pauly-Jwoww story! =D It takes place in the Keep It G universe. An older Alli is mentioned and so is a married Sam and Ron; however please just think this as an alternate situation in the Keep It G universe.
I own nothing. Just remember that. Except Nicky and Alli.
Jenni looked over at the clock. It was 8:00 and Roger was nowhere to be found. Now Jenni did understand that her husband maybe had to work overtime or do some things. The economy was bad and he had to keep his job. It was agreed in a prenup when the two married that Jenni's money from the shore and other endorsements and television things was her money. Only Jenni could use it for things she wanted to or in emergencies. Meanwhile, the family mostly used Roger's money. That was the problem though. Roger had to work hard and he wasn't getting paid. He was always played short. Lower pay. No bonus. Roger refused to borrow from anyone or step back into the television spotlight. Even after MTV offered Jenni a reality show about her new family life as a mom and wife. Yes. A mom. Jenni had been married to Roger for six years. Two years into their marriage, Jenni had their son Nicholas James Farley.
Now, Nicky was sitting on the computer playing on Webkinz. It was an old craze, not really in anymore, but the four-year old insisted that he get an account and some Webkinz. Jenni was wary though; and only bought him one: a lion. It was 8:00. Dinner was over. Nicky had finished up a soccer game earlier. That was another disappointment. Even if Roger was at work, he would always swing by for the second half to watch his son play. He didn't even call or anything. Jenni could tell Nicky was disappointed so she tried to distract him by taking him out to ice cream, going to the toy store and buying him a new Webkinz: a crocodile.
But that still didn't heal the pain. Nicky was hurting and Jenni could tell. She tried calling Roger multiple times throughout the night. No answer. No call back. Around 7:00, Jenni had called Roger's work. She heavily interrogated his fellow workers but they remained quiet yet awkward. At 7:20, Jenni was ready to break down. At 7:30, Jenni allowed Nicky to eat his dinner, of course microwaving it first. At 8:00, Nicky was allowed to play on the computer for a half hour before getting a bath and going to bed. It was Friday and Jenni knew Roger worked late but never this late. Around 8:20, Nicky got off the computer and ran into the living room.
"Mommy?"
Jenni looked up to see Nicky looking at her. She opened her arms and the little boy scrambled up into her lap. She tossled his dark hair playfully. He looked so much like Roger but had Jenni's soft complexion. She tickled him, trying to distract him a little; but the boy had a question and she was going to answer it. "Mommy?" he asked again.
"Hmm?" she asked, staring at the TV, trying to clear her mind.
"When's Daddy coming home? I want to tell him about my soccer game! Why wasn't he there too? He's always at my games!" Nicky exclaimed. Jenni bit her lip on the verge of tears; she had never been close to crying so since Tom took all her things. Ugh. That was a distant memory she wanted to forget.
"Sweetie, I don't know." she answered honestly. "Now, it's 8:30. It's time for you to get a bath and get ready to go to bed." Nicky sighed and mumbled an okay, hurrying upstairs. "I'll be up there in a minute! Don't go in the tub until I'm up there!" she yelled up the stairs. Jenni sighed. Only six years ago, her Fridays were much different. Partying, drinking and dancing made up the whole night. Now she's a worrywart doing baths, bedtime stories and tickles. Jenni came up the stairs and was in the middle of lathering Nicky's hair when she heard the door downstairs slam and keys being tossed on the table. Roger. Jenni rushed the rest of Nicky's bath and had him in his PJ's. By then, Roger was upstairs and groggy. Nicky ran over to him.
"Daddy!" he yelled, anticipating to be picked up. However, Roger didn't comply. He just let the boy run into his waist. Jenni pursed her lips in discomfort. "Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! I got three goals! And Mommy took me out to ice cream! And we went out to the toy store! And I got a new computer game! Daddy...why weren't you at my game?'' Nicky asked. Roger pushed his son away and brusquely told him to run away and go in his room and shut the door. Nicky looked deflated but ran along into his room and slammed the door. Jenni sighed; Nicky was sad. Jenni knew she would have to go in and calm Nicky down later. But she had to deal with Roger first.
She followed Roger into their bedroom and she began badgering him. "Roger! Where have you been? Over the past week, you've been late coming home, you haven't gone to any of Nicky's soccer games, and you act like you're not a part of this family. What's up?" Jenni asked sharply. Roger groaned and slammed the door roughly. Jenni winced as the sound permeated throughout the house. Roger was pretty angry, grabbing his head and stomping around the room. "If you want a divorce or thing are too overwhelming, just tell me!" she exclaimed rashly.
Roger turned on his heel. "I want a divorce." The bluntness threw Jenni off-track. Roger wanted a divorce. They weren't going to be a couple anymore. "I'm sorry, Jen. I've tried. Everything is just so...so crazy! Work is out of hand, I'm so tired, I barely have time for anything, and you're always mad at me." he said. "All around, I don't win, And not to be crude, but the sex is lacking too because of Nicky and you always got a bug up yuor ass about me. I don't know what I've done but I can tell you that every day, I'm tired and annoyed. The cycle just goes over and over. I..." Jenni cut him off by standing up.
"Alright. I... just don't know how we're going to tell Nicky. He'll be heartbroken." Jenni said. Jenni wasn't going to hinder Roger. If Roger wanted to leave, Jenni would allow him to leave. However, maybe if Jenni pinned it on Nicky, Roger would think about it. "He was asking about you all day and he's really upset."
Roger sighed, "I know...I just...I know that if we just use your money, we can be alright but...I don't want to. That's your money. We got the prenup. I'm..."
"You're too proud. Too proud to use money I earned than save your family from a divorce." Jenni snapped.
"Don't pin this on me, Jenni! We just can't win. Irreconcilable differences, Jen! People do it every day!" he exclaimed. Jenni shook her head.
"But I didn't think we were like that. I thought we would love each other forever. I thought Nicky would have two stable parents till our death. I thought-"
"Well, you thought wrong." Roger snapped. Jenni sat back, biting her lip. He rubbed a hand through his mohawk. Jenni couldn't help but notice Roger's muscled tattoed arms. The large tattoo "Jenni + Roger Forever" stuck out like a sore thumb. He would probably be getting that removed. Jenni thought. "I'm sorry." he mumbled, "But I just don't think this is going to work." Jenni stood up muttering an alright and heading out of the room. "Wait." Roger called out. Jenni quickly turned around, anticipating what he was going to say. "If you're going to tell Nicky, can we tell him together? I think it'd be better." Roger mumbled. Jenni nodded and the two walked out of the room.
They headed down the hallway into Nicky's room. Nicky wasn't crying but he seemed down and depressed. Jenni sat down on her son's bed and Roger sat on a chair beside the bed. Jenni rubbed Nicky's shoulder and tried to turn him around. Nicky wouldn't budge. Roger sighed and called out to his son. "Nicky...are you alright, buddy?" he asked. Nicky shook his head vigorously. He whimpered and shook but wouldn't accept either of his parent's consolation. "Nicky...look at me, bud." Roger said gently. Jenni remained quiet. Roger wanted the divorce; he was telling his son the bad news. But the two parents were taken for a shock when Nicky predicted the unpredictable.
"You and Mommy are getting a divorce." Nicky whimpered. Jenni froze. How would he know that Roger and she were divorcing? Jenni gently asked Nicky how he knew. Nicky sniffled. "Cousin Alli told me that Uncle Ron and Aunt Sammi are always fighting and that's why they are getting divorced." Nicky mumbled. Jenni sighed.
"How do you even know what the word 'divorce' means?" she asked calmly. Nicky looked at his parents and shrugged, saying Cousin Alli told him. Wait till Jenni got her hands on her 13-year old niece. "Sweetie, we may be getting separated and we'll live in separate houses but that doesn't mean we won't be the same family. You'll still see your daddy and everything will be normal." Jenni assured Nicky. "Okay? Your daddy and I are going to talk but don't you worry about a thing." she said sweetly, kissing her son on the forehead. "Good night." Jenni stood up and walked out of the room. Roger trudged out behind Jenni. They lightly shut the door and hurried into the living room. Jenni was digging through the refridgerator for a snack and a beer. Roger plopped on the couch to catch the football game. Jenni sat beside him, handing him a beer as well.
Roger grimaced, "Thanks." he said, cracking open the can and sipping the contents. After a few seconds, Roger broke the silence. "That conversation went well with Nicky." he said. Jenni leaned back and sighed.
"I know. I'm going to kill Alli when I get a hold of her. She has no right talking to Nicky about things like that but...do you think he knows we're serious?" Jenni asked. Roger rolled his eyes.
"Jen, the kid was bawling out his eyes out. He said we were going to get a divorce. I don't know how you got he didn't think we were serious. " Roger said with annoyance. He grew quiet. Jenni huffed but leaned back and watched the game. After a few minutes, she lost interest in the Giants vs. Jets game and walked into the kitchen. "Sleep it over and you can talk to him in the morning." Jenni scoffed.
"No. I told you already. I am not talking to Nicky about the divorce. You are. You want it, you're talking." Jenni said. Roger rolled his eyes but didn't argue back. His Blackberry chimed and Roger picked it up. He smiled a little at the text message and typed rapidly back, chuckling and smirking. This resumed for several minutes until Jenni's curiosity got the best of her. "Who are you talking to?" she asked. Roger looked over and frowned.
"None of your business. We're getting a divorce, remember?" he said cockily, turning back to the plasma TV. Jenni put her hands on her hips.
"Yes, but I'm still your wife now. I want to know who you're talking to." she snapped. Roger rolled his eyes but didn't answer. "It has to be a girl. Give me the phone." Roger stood up and held the phone above his head. "You really must not want me to see!" It was a struggle but finally Jenni grabbed the phone and scanned through the messages.

Jenni scowled and hurled the Blackberry against the plaster wall. It cracked and fell to the floor, unusable and shattered. She couldn't believe Roger was cheating on her! It was one thing to want the divorce but to know that some whorey woman was breaking up a family tore and clawed at Jenni's heart. "Ugh!" she yelled, "I can't believe you would cheat on me, Roger! You know I hate liars!" she yelled. Jenni didn't care if Nicky heard. "You're a pig! A cheating, lying pig!" Jenni yelled. She knocked Roger's beer onto the floor and stomped upstairs. "I'm done. I'm out." she yelled running upstairs.
As Jenni dashed into her room and slammed her bedroom door, she could hear rustling in Nicky's room. She ignored it and began shoving clothes, necessities and toiletries in her suitcase. In a minute, she would go over to Nicky's room, tell him they were leaving, pack his things and get the hell out. As she was muttering to herself and shoving things in the suitcase, the door floated open. Roger stood there in the doorway, smirking and leaning on the molding.
"What are you doing?" he asked. Jenni scoffed.
"I'm leaving." she said curtly. Roger laughed. "This isn't funny, Roger! Everything in life is just a joke to you. You've never taken things seriously. You're not a father!" Roger scowled.
"Don't critique my fathering! Like your parenting is any better." he retorted. Jenni scoffed and zipped up the suitcase, walking right past her husband and going into Nicky's room. He stood awkwardly in the corner in hsi pajamas, gripping his teddy bear. Jenni began getting clothes and Nicky's toys and gathering them into two-three large bags. Roger started to undo Jenni's work by throwing the clothes and toys back.
"Stop, Roger!" Jenni screamed. A whisper in the corner stopped everything.
"What's going on?" Jenni turned to see Nicky staring at his parents. Jenni scowled at Roger and told him to get out.
"We're done anyways," she added with a sneer. "Don't be a Tom. Just let me go." Roger sighed and stormed out of his son's bedroom. Jenni knelt down to her son's level. "Nicky, get your coat and your sneakers buddy. We're going to go for a little drive."
"But what about Daddy? Is he coming?" Nicky asked. Jenni shook her head.
"No, baby. Daddy's going to stay here. We're going to...we're going to live somewhere else for a bit." she said, not exactly sure where she was going to go.
"Why?" asked Nicky childishly. Jenni bit her lip.
"You'll understand when you're older. Just go sit in the car, buddy. I'll be down there in two seconds." she said. Nicky knew how to unlock Jenni's BMW X5 and buckle himself in despite being four years old. He was pretty smart for a kid his age. Nicky nodded, slipping on his shoes and red coat and running downstairs. When Jenni got everything together, she looked at Nicky who was sitting on his dad's lap in the chair. She stood behind the wall, just listening to the touching moment.
Roger had kissed Nicky on the forehead. Nicky was asking a bunch of questions. "Why aren't you coming with Mommy and me? Does it have to do with the divorce?" asked Nicky. Jenni could hear Roger sniffle back tears and nod a little.
"Yeah..." he said in a cracked voice. "Yeah, buddy. But don't you worry, alright? Once everything settles down, you're going to see me every weekend. Won't that be fun?" Nicky nodded vigorously and yelled 'yep'. Roger chuckled and set his son down. Jenni came out from around the corner and opened the door. "Go with your mother." Roger commanded lightly.
"Come on, Nicky. Get in the car." Jenni said, as she clicked the door open. Nicky scrambled in the back seat. Jenni threw the suitcases in the trunk and Roger stood behind her. She turned and kissed Roger, startling him. "I love you." she said, turning to walk into the driver's seat. Roger grabbed her shoulder.
"I love you too. There has to be a way. I'm sorry. Is there any way we can make this better? Not get a divorce? I realize I love you and Nicky so much." Roger whined to Jenni. Jenni pursed her lips for a moment. All this could be avoided. Nicky won't have such a screwed up childhood. This would save everyone a lot of time, money and stress. But Jenni decided no. She shook her head and kissed Roger on the lips.
"No. I'm sorry. You cheated and I can never forgive you. I love you and I want Nicky to have a good childhood. But I love Nicky too much to put him through events like what happened. Goodbye Roger." Jenni climbed into the BMW X5 and quickly backed out of the driveway, going down the road. She wasn't sure if Nicky was awake or not. If he was, he was being awful quiet. Jenni didn't know what to do. She couldn't go back now. However she didn't know who to go with. Nicole and Jionni? No. Sam and Ron? No they were going through a divorce and obviously, Alli was a bad influence on Nicky. Vinny and Ryder? No. Besides, Jenni didn't really like Ryder, Vinny's wife, anyway. Deena and Damian? Nope. Too immature. Besides, Deena confided that she was having relationship problems with Damian and they were close to breaking up twice. Too unstable and rocky. Mike and Paula? No. Too...ugh...Jenni didn't need to have Nicky around all that sex and drugs and drinking. There was one final person that popped into Jenni's head. Unless she was just tired from the night being so crazy, she was pretty sure Paul Delvecchio, the only bachelor of the group, too focused on work to focus on a long-term relationship, was the one.
