Joey got out of Capeside and loved Worthington. Her and her Roommate Audrey
got along great. Joey saw Jen, Jack, and Grams every Sunday at least. She
had a boyfriend: Adam. It wasn't love like her and Pacey, but more of just
a fling, but she enjoyed it anyway. She was 19 carefree and Happy. Freshman
year was great.
Than one day in April Pacey showed up at a college party. Joey was drunk and apparently so was Pacey, they had sex. They still loved each other, but the next day Pacey was off again. That was bad enough but two weeks later Joey found out that she was pregnant. She consoled herself that it was Adam's not Pacey's. She was convinced.
Bessie took the news pretty badly at first, but was very very supportive. Joey dropped out of college and moved back to Capeside. On December 3 Benjamin Witter Potter was born. As soon as Joey saw his face she knew he was Pacey's. But it was her fault, she had been drunk and she would take care of her son.
When Ben was six months old Joey moved back to Boston. She felt a strong desire to leave Capeside behind again and all the gossip that she hated so much. Joey worked as a waitress during the day and a bartender at night. But she supported her and Ben. They had a nice two bedroom apartment not far from Grams's.
As much as Joey protested Grams watched Ben everyday except friday, Saturday and Sunday and would not except any money from Joey. Jen and Jack were also a big help, as was Audrey. Ben was Joey's world. But Joey still felt the blow. She had graduated third in her class and now she was working as a waitress. She was only 23 and she had a four year old son. Joey picked up smoking when Ben was 1 1/2. She smoked in the house as little as possible.

It was a typical day for Josephine Potter. She got up at 5 and got her four year old son Ben ready for preschool. Dropped him off at Gram's by 6 and was at work by six thirty. At 6:30 P.M. she left the restaurant and picked Ben up. She then made dinner and played with him until 9 when he went to bed.
As soon as he was sleeping Mrs. Snyder, an elderly lady that lived in their apartment building came to watch him. Her only son lived in California and she enjoyed watching Ben, it was almost as he was a grandmother to him. She watched him on Friday's for Joey. Joey started work at 10 and had a four hour shift and got home around 2 A.M and collapsed in bed and got her 3 -4 hours of sleep. It was amazing she didn't collapse. She did this all so she could have the weekends to spend with Ben. Than one day she got an invitation in the mail. Capeside High School 5 year Reunion
When: June 1
Where: Capeside High Gym Joey swore. She hadn't seen Dawson since Freshman year of college. Dawson never went back to Capeside after his father died. He cut off all ties with everyone. Pacey was a very successful boat designer and builder... he spent most of the year in California. After graduating from college, Jen moved back to New York. Joey hadn't seen her much in the last year. Joey hadn't seen Andie since Graduation. IT was going to be very weird.
At first Joey was gonna leave Ben at home with grams but then since Ben hadn't seen Bessie or Body or Alex who was now eight and Lily who was 4 in over a year, she decided to bring him with and leave him at Bessie's. Her, Jack, and Ben made the drive. Joey was very nervous; she smoked a whole pack just on the way there. She got out of the car "Good old Capeside" She said taking a long drag on her cigarette. Bessie ran out to meet them. She wouldn't let go of Joey for a whole five minutes. Joey felt a twinge of guilt for not visiting her sooner.
Ben really seemed to like it there to Joey's surprise. He went off with Alex and Lily to swim in the creek right away. Jack and Joey went for a walk and low and behold, they met Pacey. One look from him and Joey melted. She knew they were very much in love.
Jack found a way to excuse himself pretty quickly. Joey forgot everything else but Pacey. Before they knew it it was almost 4:00, time to go to Capeside High. Pacey walked Joey home to get changed. On the way Joey got out a cigarette and lit it. Pacey's eyes nearly popped out of his head. "Jo when did u start smoking?" He asked. Joey ignored him.
As soon as they turned the corner Ben came running. "MOM, MOM, MOM, MOMMY!" Ben yelled. He hugged her hard around the legs even though he was soaking wet. "I missed you mommy." Pacey stared at Joey in disbelief. He was to shocked to speak.
Joey cleared her throat. "Pacey this is my son Ben, Ben this is an old friend of mine from High School: Pacey Witter." As soon as the words were out of her mouth Joey cringed. " Hey mister you have the same name as me. " Ben said. Joey tried to put her hand over his mouth but didn't react in time. "My name is Benjamin Witter Potter. " Ben said in his 4-year-old innocence. Joey put her head in her hands. Pacey stood there flabbergasted. Sensing he was about to crack Joey thought fast. "Ben honey why don't you go inside by Aunt Bessie." We'll be in in a minute." He trotted happily into the house." "Jo... he began than louder. "Josephine Potter!" Are you nuts! Are you fucking nuts?! He yelled. That's my son! Why didn't you tell me? Joey flinched.
