Prologue-
5 years
ago my life changed, I Joey potter was going out with the movie obsessed Dawson
Leery until the day in there junior year in college when one night of lust and
love overwhelmed Pacey Witter and myself.
That
night 5 years ago resulted in us having to leave school in Boston and move to
New York to have the Baby from the night in which it was conceived a night
while Dawson was away at a movie studio totally oblivious. But this night was
not a one off thing. Ever since our senior year of high school in Capeside had
we had this little affair going on?
Chapter
1.
"Pacey
honey I got to go get a book from the book shop for college" (Joey decided to
go back to school while Jade went to Pre School and Pacey worked part time at a
publishing agency) "and I am taking Jade be back later".
"Ok cya
Jo, I am going go to work soon anyway so I will see you tonite"
At the
book shop:
"mummy
mummy look here is the Ice Cream man"
This
scared Joey cause her four-year-old daughter was running out towards the ice
cream vendor. Joey ran out after her. When she got out there she saw a face she
had not seen in years. Dawson Leery (Dawson of cause doe's not know about the
kid cause they left before he got back)
"Dawson
is that you?"
"Joey...Wow
um.... that would not happen to be the kid you were calling out to by the ice
cream vendor would it?'
"Um
yeah, hang on a tick, Jade come back here please...I will get you ice cream in
a minute"
"Ok
mummy"
"Jo,
Dawson stated wearily, is that your daughter?"
"Yeah
Dawson that is actually why I left 5 years ago..."
"Is she
mine? Dawson questioned 'as he looked towards the dark haired blue eyed little
girl who had her hand rapped firmly around her mother's"
"No
Dawson she isn't"
"But
you were with me when you were pregnant right"
"Um
actually no Dawson's it's...........Jade come back here...sorry Dawson I got to
get her"
Dawson's
Hotel:
Ring...
"Hello Jen"
"Dawson
is that you"
"Um
yeah.... you would not guess who I ran into today." (Deciding to humour him)
"Who
did you run into Dawson,"?
"I ran
into Joey, and her daughter"
"Ooh
um" (jen knew about Joey, Pacey and jade, she lived in New York and was there
main baby sitter, they swore jen to secrecy, before they left, when she
finished college she moved back to New York to work as a designer)...."WOW,
Joey has a daughter who would have guessed"...she pretended to act shocked.
"Jen
you live in New York, did you know she lived here?'
"Actually
yeah...but I have not talked she lives on the other side of town"(she could not
lie to Dawson any more she'd been lying for Joey and Pacey since they left and
now Dawson was in the same city she could not hide it.)
"Can
you tell me where she lives?"
"I do
not know if she would want me to do that Dawson."
"Please
Jen I got to know how she is and where she is to put my mind at rest...and to
find out if the kid is mine" (he said under his breath)
"Ok...but
if she gets angry you can't blame it on me...K?"
"K...Jen"
"She
lives in a block of apartments on the corner of 5th and Madison...number 44 on
the 6th floor."
"Thanks
Jen, I owe you big time."
"Bye"
"Bye"

"Looking

"Yeah I

wanted to get rid of Dawson as fast as possible, Joey had told him about her
encounter with him the other day)
"I

'her daughter' and did not tell me her address so I called Jen for her address
and she mush have given me yours by mistake.... do you have it by the way?"
"No

Pacey
shut the door after him and went back to Joey who was sitting in the lounge
trying to get Jade to eat her Breakfast.
"Hey

and then found out I was here as well and what we did I would have died."
"Yeah

"Next

On the
highway to Capeside:
"Hey

out of jail finally, so we ca have a real family Christmas again...but I wish
my mum was still alive to share it with us."
"Yeah I

anymore so we don't have to worry about them ruining our Christmas like last
year.... but I wish your mother could be here to see her beautiful
granddaughter and spend Christmas with us."
"Yeah,
I really miss her...on this trip I am not going to worry about Dawson ruining
it for us either...we will have our own traditional Christmas will Bessie and
the others."
"That
is the attitude.... ok Christmas carolling time Pace announced 'he put a
Christmas carol CD in the CD player and on came Hark the Herald angels sing'"
They
all sang until it was too much for Jade and she fell asleep.
Potter
B&B:
Bessie
came running out of the house as she heard the car pull up...she ran to Joey
and Engulfed her in a big hug and then did the same to Pacey as they said there
hello's.
"Jo you

where is Jade"
"Yeah

get Jade and bring her inside while Bess and I make hot cocoa for us all."
"Yes
your highness.... he said laughing."
"I see
you he has still not matured said Bessie laughing" (Author's note all the
people on my fic are happy...I like it that way) as she and Joey walk into the
house with their arms linked.
"Yeah
he still has his ways to go."
"Pacey
comes in with Jade and puts her on the couch still asleep."
"So
ladies is the Cocoa ready" pacey asked while taking of his jacket and hanging
it up on the hook.
"Yeah

Potter
dining room table:
"Bessie

"He's
gone out to chop some fire wood he should be back soon...any way how have
things been going...you mentioned something to me on the phone about bumping
into Dawson in New York."
"Yeah
Dawson heard me calling out to Jade and while I was running out to get her
there was Dawson asking me if that was the kid I was calling to."
"Did
you give him your address before you left Bessie asked?"
"No I
didn't but Jen did and Pacey answered the door so he thought was mistake and
asked for my address, which of course he did not give him."
"I
don't know what Dawson would do if he found out.... we ditched him 5 years ago
with only a message from Jen that we had been transferred to other schools said
Pacey."
"Well
how is Jade going...she look's good apart from being zonked out on the couch
must have been a tiresome trip all the way from New York." Said Bessie.
"Yeah

going to get married?"
"We

we are waiting until she is a bit older."
"Ok....

yet."
"Well

have a real family so maybe next spring ok."
"Ok I
will drop the subject."
Pacey
Returns and they drink their Coffee and then they go to the living room where
they are singing Christmas carols. Bodie and Mr Potter are setting up the
Christmas tree. When the tree is up they all start decorating the tree.
"who is
going to put the angel on top to the 8-foot tree said Mr Potter"
"I want

"Ok
Joey's turn this year" said pacey..."do you want a boost?"
"Thanks
Pace 'Pacey lifts her up with ease'"
"Ok
everyone I think that it is time to go to bed cause we don't want Santa to see
us awake 'Bessie said referring to the Kids'"
"Come
one Jade Let's go" 'Pacey said picking her up'..."come on Jo. Good Night all."
"Goodnight

Later
that night Bessie and Joey Snuck out to put the presents under the tree for the

Day:
"Mummy,

"Not

"Come

Finally
getting up with the promise of coffee they walked sluggishly out to the living
room still in there PJ's to wait for Bessie, Bodie and Alex which did not take
to long knowing Alex he was up at the crack of dawn. The only Cherie person in
morning was Joey so she made coffee to get the rest of them moving. After
coffee was made and Bodie made his famous waffles for breakfast then they
opened pressies.
"Okay
Pressie time" announced Pacey 'who was revved up and awake by now'
"YEAH"
the kids shouted in chorus while they ran into the living room.
It was
Alex's turn to hand out the presents this year and of course he opened his own
biggest one first...he got a BMX bike with changing gears and everything from
Bodie and Bessie. The next present was for Jade she got Butterfly Barbie from
Joey and Pacey? Next was Bessie who got a Computer game from Bodie, Joey was

"I'm

back out a minute later'..."you guys put your ties on and sit together so I can

Chapter
5:
Outside
the B&B later on Christmas day:
"Come
on Kids lets go outside and play in the snow announced Joey."
There
came a chorus of "OK's" from the Kids and Pacey, which still classified as a
kid.
They
made Snow Angels and Snow Men, Joey and pacey chased each other around the
front yard and collapsed by a nearby tree trying to gain there composure.
"Pace
we've got a great life don't we",
"Yeah
Jo we do" 'he said putting his arm around her shoulders'..."we've got each
other and the best daughter in the world.... were lucky we have each other,
Jen, Bessie and Bodie."
"Yeah
it's the best Christmas I have ever had this year...my dad finally out of
prison and all of us together, no worries"...[or did the speak to soon]
"Hey
Jo"
"MmMm
'she said leaning into him more'"
"I
don't want to worry you but I think that is Dawson walking down the street."
"What....'she
said jumping away from pacey'...get behind the tree and I will get rid of him."
"Ok."
'he gave her a quick kiss and then hid'
"Hey Jo,
are you here for Christmas" called Dawson from down the road,
"Hey
Dawson…yeah me and jade are here for Christmas"
Dawson
comes closer to her and they start talking, pacey takes this opportunity to get
back in the house. He is nearly at the door when Jade calls out to him form
playing in the snow,
"Daddy
helps me build a snow castle".
Pacey
put a finger to his lips but it was to late Dawson was already looking at him.
He walked up to jade picked her up and told her and Alex to come inside for cocoa
and let Joey talk to Dawson.
Once
Pacey Got the kids inside he went out to Joey and Dawson who where by know
yelling at each other.
"Why
did you not tell me Joey that the kid was Pacey's when I saw you in New York
last month?"
"I did
not know that you could handle it if I told you that is was not your kid but
Pacey and that in college I had her and it was not your's."
Dawson
watches Pacey come towards them; Pacey grabs Joey's hand and starts listening
to Dawson yelling at him and Joey.
"Pacey,
when I came to look for Joey you said you did not know where she was but I bet
she was listening to us talking about her."
"Dawson
can you please calm down."
"No I
can't Pacey...you and Joey got Pregnant while I was going out with Joey...how
long has that little affair been going on that I did not know about".
"Joey
answered silently while crying.... since High School"
"Since
High School this was going on...I can't believe it you Bastards...say Merry
Christmas to Bessie and Bodie for me and good riddens i can't even stand to
look at you right know".
As
Dawson walked off Pacey embraced Joey as she was crying into his Jacket. When
she gained some composure they went back to Bessie who made them Cocoa.
Epilogue:

New Years they left Bessie and Bodie's Bundled in the car with the dog and Jade
and went home to New York. They told everyone who did not know about them and
Jade that was a load of their chest Jack and Andie supported them 100% but
Dawson sulked away by himself.

was the flower girl and Alex was the pageboy. Mike from Pacey's work was the
groom's man and Jen was the maiden of Honour. Bodie gave Joey away.
