I woke up alone. It was normal some days so I just laid in bed for a little while longer and adjusted to the light streaming through the curtains. After a few minutes, I sat up and reached for my phone on the nightstand. I collapsed back on the pillows and turned on the screen.

Enter Passcode

1779

Wrong Passcode. Try again.

I blinked then frowned at the screen. I was thinking of different scenarios that could've happened to my phone but I just entered in the same passcode and it gave me the same error message. I was beginning to get frustrated. I entered it in a couple more times but in a different pattern which made me disable the phone for a minute. My changing mood made me want to chuck it across the floor but my mind said not to.

Then an idea popped into my head. I turned the phone over to find a clear case instead of my white one. Oh. It was Pauly's then. Turning the phone back over, I was still at a loss at what the passcode was. Without thinking, I put in his birthday.

0705

It brought me to his home screen. I snorted. He was too predictable sometimes. As I was calling my phone to see if I can get Pauly to answer, someone called. It's not like it was unexpected since it's not my phone, but I was confused at what to do. It was an unknown number, I answered it- could be important.

"Hey, Pauly, I know you've been trying to call to reconnect us and you told me how you have someone with a baby on the way and you were saying how you probably shouldn't do this but- I'm sorry for how I was treating you, baby. Let me make it right." I was dumbstruck. I wished I had just sent it voicemail. Overall, the question was who this was. So I took a deep breath and willed myself to not cry.

"This isn't Pauly, this is his partner- Vinny." The woman gave a slight gasp.

"Male partner?" I bit my wobbling lip.

"Yes." After that, she hung up on me. I had the strongest urge to chuck the phone across the room but I held it tight in my hand. Who was the woman? An ex girlfriend? Old friend? I settled with ex girlfriend from the perky voice and wiped a stray tear that escaped my eye.

Would he really cheat on me?

I sat at the kitchen table with a blank look on my face. Pauly's phone was laid on the table and I was staring directly at it. He finally messaged me telling me that we had each others phones but I didn't even reply. I didn't reply or answer anything from the fear I'd find out something else.

I was alone, no one was here- not even a cameraman. I had to deal with on my own. Everyone should come home soon including Pauly so I just decided to wait. They came strolling in a few minutes later like I expected and I still sitting with a defeated look on my face.

"Vinny! We're back!" Pauly yelled. I heard his footsteps come up behind me and I just sat silently.

"I brought back some subway, you get my message about our phones-what's wrong?" Mike and Snooki trailed behind with food of their own. I just exhaled slowly and looked up at Pauly.

"Aw, Vin. What happened?" Snooki took a seat next to me and gave me a concerned look. I brought my arms to the table so I could rest my head on them.

"You got a call today.." I started. Pauly started unpacking the contents of the subway bag.

"And? Anything important?" He paused his action to look at me. I nodded slowly.

"Why are you acting so distant?" Pauly asked while pulling a seat up to me.

"You got a call from a woman and she said she wanted to reconnect. She told me you said that you 'shouldn't even be doing this'." My eyes started to burn as Pauly looked on confused.

"But when she found out that I was a guy she just hung up on me. So, tell me who that was." Pauly's face scrunched up more and more as I kept talking. After a few seconds of absolute silence with Mike and Snooki looking around uneasy and unsure of what to do, Pauly spoke.

"How the hell do you know my passcode?" My head snapped up. And cameramen came closer.

"Because you're so fucking predictable! But why is that the first thing you ask me?" Pauly shot up from his seat.

"Because you had access to my phone, I don't even know who called me!" He screeched.

"That's a lie. Why did she know all this stuff then?" I countered. I was growing angrier by each of the sentences being yelled.

"How the fuck should I know? I mean, do you really think I would cheat on you?" My mouth opened and closed repeatedly but I couldn't find the words. I shook my head no but Pauly scoffed.

"You hesitated. What happened to trust and privacy?" I almost threw his phone across the room.

"What privacy? And I do trust you." Pauly held his hand out.

"Then give me your phone." I started to give it to him. "Unlocked," he added. I started to grind my teeth but still unlocked it and handed my phone to him. The moment I had his phone he was sprinting towards the stairs leaving me speed walking behind him.

This was one of those moments when I wish I wasn't pregnant since it drastically slowed me down. When I made it to our room, the door was locked. I let out a growl of annoyance and began pounding on the door.

"Let me in! I don't have naked pictures of girls on my phone like you do!"

"Then who is this?" He opened the door and shoved my phone in my face. I tilted my head and examined the phone.

"That was from over a year ago! Those pictures of have are recent!" Pauly slammed the door in my face.

"Well you kept them for a reason."

"Are you kidding me? I don't remember nudes that I was sent from a year ago!" I was started to get fed up from him not believing me and the fact that he could cheating on me. I bit my tongue from saying something I didn't mean but instead I briskly walked downstairs to retrieve his phone.

"Vinny, sit down you can't put all this stress on yourself in your condition," Mike started persuading. Snooki nodded and pulled a chair out for me but I just shook my head. I typed in his password and jogged up the steps to our room again.

"You have three times as more than me. I only have one picture that I forgot about! Let me in!" This time I didn't get an answer. Snooki came up behind me to get me downstairs. She started pulling on my arm but I kept knocking on the door.

"Fine!" I was starting to get emotional over the whole ordeal and it was evident in my voice.

"Don't cry, Vinny. If you cry, I'll start crying," Snooki pleaded. I sniffed loudly enough for him to hear and dialed the number from earlier. It rang for a little and I calmed down along with Snooki.

"Pauly, you call-"

"Look, I ain't Pauly. You need to talk to him from acting like an ass." Silence at the other end.

"Okay," the woman agreed.

"Pauly!" I yelled. "The person from earlier is on the phone!" He quickly opened the door and grabbed the phone then slammed the door in my face.

"Give me my goddamn phone back!"

"No!" I bit my tongue and marched downstairs with Snooki trailing me. Mike was scrolling on his phone still trying to find his place in everything. He looked up and gave empathetic look.

"Jenni is on her way." I sighed and sunk myself into the chair waiting for me. She'd straighten it out for me. She would tell Pauly that he threw everything out of proportion. It was silent again. Even the cameramen were at a loss of what to do.

Pauly came down the steps minutes later with a somber look on his face and I crossed my arms when he got close to me.

"Well?" I said. He handed me both of our phones.

"It was my mother." I uncrossed my arms and my mean look turned soft.

"And I'm sorry." I smiled and got up to hug him, leaving both of our phones on the table.

"This could've been avoided, Pauly." He nodded with his face stuffed in the crook of my neck.

"We can talk about that later," I said while breaking the hug. I reached and grabbed his phone, unlocking it and shoving it into his face.

"Now explain the pictures." He gave a loose grin which I frowned at.

"Now, Vin. They're just pictures. I can look at the menu but can't order, right?" I shook my head.

"I'm not saying you cheated, but the only naked body you should be looking at is mine." He pondered silently and finally let out a huff of breath and grabbed his phone.

"Don't think you can get away either." I scoffed and took my phone out to delete the one picture I had.

"You done deleting?" He held up a finger.

"Ok, I am now." I fell back into his chest again the moment Jenni walked it.

"Are you fucking kidding me, Pauly?!" Everyone in the kitchen jumped up from the sound of her booming voice. She paused and looked back and forth between the two of us before looking at Mike with a confused face.

"I thought you said they were fighting over something?"

"We were," I butted in. Jenni raised her eyebrows and nodded.

"You need me to kick his ass anyways?" I made it look like I was thinking hard on it.

"If he's an ass again then he's all yours."
