Ahaha, thanks, guys! That was just a really fast update because I had the chapter up already. I was bored one night and wrote both chapters. Anyways, here's the new chapter now. The main POV's are going to be Jenni, Roger and Pauly. Not really much of Roger but I might have a little bit of him thrown in there for the Joger perspective. I'm glad you guys like it. =D Pauly's spinoff premieres Thu. March 27th, don't miss it. The Pauly D Project. I own nothing except Nicky and Alli.

Pauly leaned against the kitchen countertop staring at the brunette woman making coffee. Her back was turned so she didn't know he was staring. A little boy was sitting on his couch watching his TV. Pauly sighed. He could totally be watching something better than Handy Manny or Blues Clues. However, Nicky and Jenni were guests. Pauly wasn't a dick enough to turn a young mother and her son away from his house. Jenni turned around and saw Pauly sitting there.

"You want some coffee?" she asked. Pauly nodded and muttered a 'sure'. She turned back around to pour him a mug. Pauly's mind was messing with him. He knew he was in love with Jenni years ago. He kept seeing her and the chemistry kept growing. Pauly was on the verge of telling Jenni he loved her when Tom dumped her but then she went with Roger. Pauly wasn't the kind of guy that would steal another guy's girl. So Pauly kept his feelings inside. When Jersey Shore ended and Pauly started filming his show, The Pauly D Project, the group was apart and just started living their adult lives. Pauly lost his feelings for Jenni because she wasn't around. Now that she was around AND getting a divorce, Pauly wasn't sure if he could keep his feelings inside.

"Here you go." she said, pushing the mug across the counter.

"Thanks." Pauly muttered.

This was also awkward because Pauly was just so busy. This wasn't the time for Jenni to drop in and decide she wanted to stay at his house. Pauly's mother came up from the basement and interacted with Jenni's son. What was his name...Nicky...yeah Nick. Pauly kinda liked that name. He got up quickly and pushed away from the counter. "I have to go." he mumbled. Pauly's mom looked up.

"What is it, Paul? It's Saturday." Donna said.

Pauly just shrugged, "I know. Busiest day of the week. I got a lot of stuff to do."

"Pauly, you can't take off. I mean, this is pretty important here. Hang out with your friend." Donna suggested. Pauly turned on his heel.

"Mom, these people book me months ahead of time. I can't just pull out. Sorry." Pauly said going upstairs. Donna blushed and looked at Jenni. "I'm really sorry about him. I don't know what's gotten into him." Pauly just went upstairs to get all his DJ stuff together before he had to leave at 11 o'clock. Jenni blushed, mumbling it was alright. She gave Nicky his plate and went upstairs, just saying she had to get something from the bedroom. But deep inside, Jenni knew why Pauly was acting weird. Like she remembered before, Vinny exposed all of Pauly's secrets once the show was over. That's why Pauly and Vinny didn't talk anymore. Now that Jenni thought about, nobody spoke much to each other except Jenni, Sam, Deena and Nicole. The guys were distant from one another and didn't speak to one another.

Now that Jenni also thought about it, Ryder liked Pauly. How did she get with Vinny? That's when Jenni realized that's another reason Paul and Vin don't speak to each other. Vin stole Pauly's girl. Now another of Pauly's girl was crashing his house and he was uncomfortable. She knocked on Pauly's door. Pauly reluctantly opened it and stared at Jenni, especially her boobs. "Hey. Come on in." he mumbled. Jenni entered Pauly's room and sat on the bed. The blue room was very clean and had no mess except for the sneakers on the floor. Pauly was gathering all his DJ stuff together for him to take over to New York City so he could DJ later tonight. A giant Italian flag sat on the wall over the bed and a large tanning bed was tucked in the corner by the bathroom. Besides Pauly's bed, a large shelf was stuffed with tubes of hair gel. Pauly smirked. "Yep. This is my room." he said awkwardly, "So what's up?" he asked, not really stopping his packing. Jenni didn't mind.

"I know we talked about this before but I couldn't ignore the fact that you're so awkward. What's up? Vinny told me...some things and I think it's cute. I don't mind and I hope it doesn't change things between us." Jen said.

Pauly smirked. "Ah. Vin shot his mouth off." Pauly said. Jenni shook her head.

"Not really shot his mouth off. It's okay. It helps me understand a bit..." trailed Jenni. Pauly nodded.

"Alright. Just don't be weirded out. I mean, I like you. I used to like like you but I don't like you now, feel me?" Jenni chuckled.

"I do, I do." Jenni said. "Sorry for crashing on your house. Hey, do you wanna-" Jenni was cut off by the buzzing of her cell phone. It was a text from Roger. He was asking where she was and what she was doing. Jenni pursed her lips, wondering if she should answer. It would be good to and Roger seemed like he was only asking so he would know how they're doing. But for some reason, Jenni hesitated. Pauly noticed.

"It's Roger." he said. She nodded silently and then asked if she should text him back. "It doesn't matter. He'll probably try to get you to come home though." Pauly said.

"I know but it's not happening. I'm not going back to Roger. We're over." Jenni said. Pauly nodded. Only one thought popped up in Pauly's head when he heard the words 'We're over' but Pauly just tried to shake it out. It wouldn't leave. It was nagging at him and tearing at his very being. In a matter of minutes, he went from standoffish to a mindfucked condition. He loved Jenni. But Jenni didn't love him. She just said it! Pauly brushed a hand through his hair and tried to pack the rest of his DJ stuff together; but he couldn't work in this condition. All the girls in the world hanging on Pauly couldn't change him. Only one girl could and that girl took Pauly's love like a kindergarten crush.

"Like I said, it's up to you. He's still your husband but you guys are getting a divorce." Pauly said. He didn't know if his words were making a hint to Jenni. Jenni probably wouldn't get it anyway. Jenni sighed up and got up.

"I should really call him back. He is Nicky's father. I don't need him flipping out thinking I did the dip with his kid. I'll be right back." Jenni turned on her heel and left the room. Pauly sighed and rested against the wall, banging his head in his hands. He should really tell Jenni his true feelings; however he's afraid she'll shoot him down faster than a sniper. He decided to take the day off work. He got on the phone and called up his agent, telling him he's taking off the day. Pauly's agent was furious.

"Paul! You can't just take off! This is supposed to be huge! These people booked you four months ahead of time, everything is ready!" Paul's agent Dominic explained. Pauly sighed, brushing a hand through his blowout.

"I'm sorry, brah. I just...I just want the Saturday and Sunday off...spend some time with my sister and my mother." Pauly lied. He couldn't let Dominic know that Jenni and her son were staying in his house. Dom was well aware of Pauly's love for Jenni and would rip him a new one if he learned of Pauly's guests. Dominic sighed and agreed angrily, hanging up the phone. Pauly sighed once he hung up and saw a little boy standing there, staring at him. He had Jenni's tan complexion and eyes. Roger's dark hair was tousled on his head. Pauly smiled, "Hey there, kiddo. What's your name again?" The boy ran in and smiled cheekily.

"I'm Nicky!" he chimed happily. "And you are?"

"I'm Pauly." he said, holding out his hand for the child to shake. "How old are you?"

"Four!" Nicky yelled, holding up four fingers.

"Four! Oh my God, I never would have guessed you were four. Glad you told me. I would've brought you to the club with me." Nicky laughed loudly and Pauly smiled. "Hey uh...call me Uncle Pauly. Feel me?"

Several minutes before...

Jenni sat on the king size guest bed and dialed Roger back. Within a ring or two, he picked up the phone. He seemed tired, groggy and a little depressed; but not drunk. Jenni appreciated that. Yesterday was a long night but Jenni was content "thinking" Roger wasn't partying and going crazy. However, Jenni couldn't forget that Roger was cheating on her with some woman for a somewhat long amount of time. She sighed into the phone and Roger began talking.

"Where have you been? I've been texting you for two hours. I'm worried about you and Nick. You just left last night with our son and I had no idea where you went, Jen. We're husband and wife still. We need to-"

"Roger." Jenni said, firmly. "We're over. That was determined last night. I'm at Pauly's."

There was a pause. Jenni knew Roger was probably pissed. She knew of their history and that Pauly loved Jenni shortly before they got married. "Pauly? Pauly? What the hell, Jen? Are you cheating on me with that toolbag?" he yelled. Jenni got angry.

"No, idiot! I'm just staying at his house! Why don't you freaking trust me? You know, that's really the pot calling the kettle black. You don't trust me but you've cheated on me for God knows how long!" Roger exhaled sharply. Jenni won that battle. "Don't imply that I'm cheating on you with Pauly because I'm not."

"I'm sorry." Roger said roughly, "But you're in a house with a guy you have history with. A guy that I'm not sure got over loving you."

"Bullshit!" Jenni exclaimed.

"I'm just saying, you cheated on Tom with Paul. Who's to say you're not going to do it with me?" Roger asked sharply.

"Don't even bring Tom into this! But right now, Tom's looking like a freaking angel compared to you!" Jenni yelled.

Angrily, Jenni smacked her phone shut and threw it against the pillow. She breathed deeply, heaving and trying to hold in her tears. She was a strong woman. She was not going to cry. She was not goign to break down in front of her son. Pauly was not going to see Jenni in such a vulnerable position. Getting up, Jenni decided to return to Pauly's room. There, she saw Pauly interacting and talking to Nicky. She was surprised; he was so good with kids! When Jenni had peeked around the corner, Pauly had just told Nicky to call him Uncle Pauly. How sweet!

Hearing Nicky sing 'Uncle Pauly' over and over brought a smile to the young mom's lips. He had never been this excited even for his dad. That's when jenni realized how much of a father figure Pauly's serving to Nicky. That's when Donna came upstairs smiling, asking what all the commotion is. Pauly smiled at his mom; a genuine Pauly D smile.

"I took off of work this weekend."
