What She Does For Him
Sometimes Joey would contemplate that god had contrived pregnancy as some sort of karma thing to get back at all the women who spend thousands of dollars on clothes a year. So she figured that maybe since she had never been yet another Sex and the City prodigy that maybe when her turn rolled around that she might be spared some of the usual indignities that come with the territory. But apparently her hypothesis was wrong. Dead wrong. Joey could have sworn she hadn't seen her feet in months the bathroom was becoming her second home and none of her clothes fit she was a mess not to mention sleep deprived and dealing with the major heat wave that decided to hit Capeside at the perfect time.
Though in all honesty, the younger Potter had a lot of people behind her helping her through. Teen pregnancy is always going to be controversial and considering the fact that it ran in her family didn't make things any easier on them. Most people inherit eye color hair color a stubborn streak a million dollar mansion from their families but Joey had this.
Just then the co-creator of the baby inside Joey who was at that moment most defiantly kicking up a storm entered the beach house
Joey- Pacey I think your child is confusing my bladder with a hockey puck
Pacey- Well I'll have to get little he or she a
Joey- No no way you're not going to give a baby one of those stick things
Pacey- Stick things Jo? I'm disappointed in you
Joey- Well you would think that carrying your unborn baby would earn me some points
Pacey made his way over to Joey taking her in his arms
Pacey- You would wouldn't you, oh well
He kissed her
Joey- You aren't trying to butter me up are you Witter
Pacey- Who me?
He said smiling widely yet still managing to look extremely guilty
Joey- What did you do?
Pacey- So maybe I kinda caved
Joey- On what?
Pacey- You know it is unreasonable to expect me to wait to find out what the sex of our baby is when a man we hardly know knows
Joey- You know the sex of the baby?!
Pacey- No
Joey- Pacey!
Pacey- Maybe
Joey- Pace a world of pain
Pacey- Fine I know
Joey- When did you find out?
Pacey- This morning I called him and found out
Joey- But I thought we wanted to wait
Pacey- I did I guess I had a moment of weakness. You forgive me?
Joey- Well… I'm thinking about it
Pacey- Do you want me to tell you?
Joey- No! I said I'd wait, I can wait
Pacey- You sure
Pacey said smiling knowing that this was killing her and would most defiantly drive her insane well more insane that she was already considering her pregnancy had made her a bit of a ticking time bomb… oh this wasn't good. He lovingly stroked a lose strand of hair away from her beautiful face. Pacey couldn't believe how radiant she was and logically he knew it was because she was pregnant but to him she always sparkled.
Joey- Uh huh
Pacey- So your going to be okay with the fact that I know and you don't?
Joey- Yep
Pacey- Wow well that's new actually it feels kinda nice knowing something you don't for a change
Joey rolled her eyes at him. But now she was serious needing the answer to this next question more than anything at that moment
Joey- Pacey?
Pacey- Yes Sweetums
Joey- See you know I hate Josephine and you think I won't get mad at that?
Pacey- (laughing) Your right sorry Jo continue
Joey-… Are you happy?
Pacey- What?
Joey- I mean with what we're having are you happy?
Pacey- I couldn't be happier Jo
Joey- It's a boy
Pacey- What?
Joey- It's a boy
Pacey- And what made you come to that conclusion?
Joey- How happy you were
Pacey- What and you don't think I could be that happy if it was a girl?
Joey- No you're a guy Pacey guys want boys so they can turn them into mini versions of themselves
Pacey- Well that's the same reason girls want girls
Joey- Not true I don't care what I have
Pacey- Well we're the exceptions then
Joey- So it's a girl
Pacey- What?
Joey- You said we're the exceptions so if you're an exception then that means that that's why you were really happy that we're having a girl right?
Pacey- Jo you're making my head spin if you want to know I can just tell you
Joey- Who says I want to know?
Pacey- Potter I think the tirade you just went on is proof enough
Joey- You're mean
Pacey- You love me
Joey- You bug me
Pacey- What do you think we're having?
Joey- I don't know but I think I'm gonna find out soon
Pacey- See I knew you'd cave
Joey- Think again Pace my water just broke
He had her at the hospital in under 10 minutes he had given road runner a run for his money and had Joey in a wheel chair waiting for their room and for their friends and family to get there Pacey had put Jen on speaker phone in the car and told her to get everyone down to the hospital 'remind me never to get pregnant' she said hearing Joey's screams. Pacey looked down at his new wife they had been married just after they found out about the pregnancy. Pacey was going to propose anyway he had the ring already and everything so when the baby news was announced it was just the kick in the pants he needed they got married in a small town not to far away from Capeside in the snow with twinkly lights all around it was beautiful and just the fairytale she had always imagined. Luckily since it was very early on in the pregnancy she was able to fit into the dream dress and walk down the isle towards the dream guy.
Pacey kneeled down to look at her he took her hand and let her squeeze it
Pacey- How ya doin Jo?
Joey- Scared out of my mind
Pacey- You know I never realized how guilty I'd feel
Joey- Pacey I forgave you ages ago about finding out the sex
Pacey- You did? But that wasn't what I was talking about
Joey- Of course I did it was those puppy dog eyes of yours
She smiled and kissed him
Joey- So what were you talking about?
Pacey- Well it's kinda my fault you're gonna have to do this
Joey laughed a little but then immediately cringed at the pain
Pacey- Potter I'm so sorry
Joey- You're so adorable when you worry about me Pacey this isn't your fault and lets face it for every human walking the planet today some woman had to go through what I'm going through now right so I'll be fine
Pacey- You're amazing you know that you're in labor and you're the one placating me this should be the other way around
Joey- Pacey… arh … as much as I appreciate the sentiment I really don't need to hear you sing 'Eye of the Tiger' right now
Pacey- Pregnant woman's perogative right?
He said smiling at her
Joey- Yep
Pacey- Whatever you say Mrs. Witter
She smiled and he kissed her lovingly
The nurse now made her way over to the pair watching the sweet exchange between the two
Nurse- Ok Mrs. Witter your room's ready
They made it to the room and Pacey pacing around the room he was worried about Joey but he didn't want her to see one look in his eyes and shed know she always knew
Joey- Pacey would you keep still you might actually be making me more nauseous than I already am
Pacey- Sorry Jo
He sat down in the chair next to her and took her hand in his. He needed a distraction so Joey wouldn't notice so he though of what he always did when he wanted to smile
Pacey- You remember the first time we met Potter?
Joey smiled at him she'd told him a million times that she was a Witter now and although he loved that she had taken his name he would always tell her that she's always be Potter to him and finally she gave in realizing that it was more of a term of endearment than anything else and that it reminded them of the history they shared since he'd been calling her that since they were kids.
Joey- Sure it was at your parents Thanksgiving party I remember I was sitting on the porch. I found this really pretty bracelet that day just sitting out on your porch so I took it figuring anyone stupid enough to lose something so special didn't deserve it. She laughed to herself. Then out of no where you came running at me
Pacey- I was hiding from Deputy Dougie
Joey- Then all of a sudden I had a Witter right on top of me
Pacey- I was determined you got to give me that. Really Potter with my persistence this day was inevitable
She punched him lightly on the arm
Pacey- You wanna know a secret Potter
Joey- Sure
Pacey- I left that bracelet there for you and I said to myself if she takes it then she's meant to be my girl and I remember you picked it up and smiled and I was gone you wrecked me from that day Potter no other girls ever come close
She pulled him close and kissed him tenderly trying desperately to convey all the love she was feeling
Joey- How did I never know that?
Pacey- Must have forgotten to tell you
Joey- Ironic how that you forget and yet every embarrassing thing I've ever done is super glued in there
Pacey- Guess it's just another of life's little mysteries
Joey- I love you, you know
Pacey- I love you too Potter
That moment the doctor came in
Pacey- Dr Karson finally
Dr K- How are we doing over here?
Joey- Pacey!
Pacey- Yeah Dr if I were you I'd steer clear of the phrases we and us it's a good way to lose a limb
The doctor laughed
Dr K- Sure thing Joey how are YOU doing?
Joey- I feel like a crate of dynamite is exploding inside me but besides that I'm fine
Pacey- That's my Joey always looking at the positives
He got a smack in the arm for that
