AN-Here is the second one shot, this one will be a mix of Pacey/Andie and Jack/Joey
It was Christmas morning in the McPhee household and Jack and Andie were in the kitchen. Jack was eating breakfast while Andie paced around, nervously.
''Chill Andie, he'll be here soon.'' Jack said.
''I know he will be, it's just...I'm meeting his family today, aren't I allowed to be a little bit nervous? Why aren't you?'' she snapped.
''I've met them before, Andie. I work with Bodie, I work for Bessie.''
''But now they are going to treat you like Joey's boyfriend, not some random worker.'' Andie said.
Jack just ate his cereal quietly.
''Plus, this will be our first Christmas apart.'' she said, softly.
Jack sighed and went to hug his sister. ''Andie, we'll be alright. Just tell Pacey to make a stop by the Potters and we'll see each other. Okay?''
Andie nodded. Just then, they heard the doorbell ring.
''He's here!'' Andie exclaimed.
''So go open the door.'' Jack said.
Andie stood there, frozen with nerves. Jack shook his head and went to answer the door.
''Hey Pacey. Andie's having a nervous breakdown so.'' Jack said, shrugging.
Pacey laughed. ''Wonderful. Merry Christmas Jack.''
''You too man.'' Jack said.
''Hey Pacey.'' Andie said, walking up behind Jack.
Pacey smiled gently at her, taking her in his arms. ''Hey McPhee, Merry Christmas.'' he whispered.
''Merry Christmas.'' Andie whispered back.
They kissed. Jack cleared his throat loudly. ''Don't you two need to go?''
They broke apart and Andie laughed. ''Bye Jack.''
''See you later Jackers.''
They walked hand-in-hand to the car.
Pacey drove the Police Cruiser to his house. He stopped the car, and turned to Andie.
''Alright McPhee, are you ready?'' he asked.
''As ready as I'll ever be.'' Andie said, leaning over to kiss him.
They broke apart and Andie noticed a look in his eyes. ''Pace, you alright?''
''Yeah, yeah. Of course.'' he said.
Andie could tell he was lying but she didn't say anything. He got out of the car and went to open her door. Taking her hand, he led the way up to the Witter home.
Meanwhile
Jack trudged up the path to the Potter home. Just before he knocked on the door, he checked his breath. Ever since Andie's little pep talk, he had been nervous about coming here. What if they treated him bad, because he wasn't Dawson? What if they didn't like him, because he kissed Joey while she was with Dawson?
While Jack had his little episode, Joey was inside, just as nervous. Bessie had promised to be good, when she saw how important it was to her little sister. Joey was also feeling guilty. Every year, they usually spent Christmas with the Leery's, but because the of recent break up, and the fact that Joey wanted to spend the day with Jack, this would be the first year without being in the Leery's home.
Suddenly, she felt a tap on her shoulder.
''Joey, go let your boyfriend in before he freezes.''
Joey smiled brightly and went to open the door. She threw it open and Jack looked up, surprised.
''Hey Jo.'' he said, quietly
''Hey Jack.'' she said.
She leaned over and kissed him, softly.
''Come on in.''
He entered the house and shrugged off his coat. Bessie walked into the living room as Joey was hanging up Jack's coat.
''Merry Christmas, Jack.'' Bessie said.
She hugged him. ''Uh..Merry Christmas Bessie.''
Bessie smiled. ''Don't worry, I'll be nice today. I promised Joey.''
Jack laughed and Joey grabbed his hand, tugging his towards the kitchen. ''Bodie, Jack's here.''
Bodie stepped away from the stove and shook Jack's hand. ''Merry Christmas Jack.''
''You too, Bodie.''
''Dinner will be ready in a bit, so you guys so on into the living room.''
Joey led the way into the living room and her and Jack sat down on the couch.
''Hey, would you mind if Pacey and Andie made a pit stop here?'' Jack asked.
Joey bit her lip. ''Andie I don't mind...but Pacey?''
Jack laughed and kissed her. ''He's not that bad Jo. Andie really loves him.''
''I thought she was the smart one.'' Joey muttered.
Jack grinned. ''Joey, it's Christmas.''
Joey sighed and relented. ''Fine, he can come. But he has to stay outside.''
Jack laughed and leaned over to kiss her cheek.
''I'm glad you came, Jack.'' Joey said, softly.
''I'm glad I'm here.'' Jack whispered.
The Witter Home
Pacey and Andie were seated at the table with the Witter clan. Doug, Gretchen Carrie, and the parents, John and Mary.
''So, Amelia, what grade are you in?'' Mary asked pleasantly.
''Her name is Andie, mom.'' Pacey said.
''I'm in tenth grade, like Pacey.'' Andie said.
''If he keeps up those grades, he'll stay in tenth.'' Doug muttered.
Pacey looked down at his plate, and Andie took his hand, squeezing it.
''Pacey's been doing really well in school. I doubt he'll be left behind.'' Andie said.
Doug frowned and Gretchen grinned, but Andie wasn't going to let them say anything bad about Pacey.
''How do you put up with my little brother?'' Gretchen asked.
Andie smiled, knowing this was the good sister. ''Oh, Pacey isn't always a pest.''
Pacey grinned softly, and Andie said, ''He's been doing amazing this year, and I'm very very proud of him.''
She looked towards Pacey, who smiled softly and mouthed the words Thank you.
''Well Pacey, you sure have yourself one hell of a girlfriend.'' John said.
Pacey smiled brightly.
''Why the hell is she dating you?''
Pacey's smiled disappeared and Andie glared at John.
''You know what, I can't believe he got stuck with you as a father.''
The table gasped.
''Andie, don't.'' Pacey said.
''No Pacey, I'm sorry but ever since we got here they've said one nasty thing after another to you and I'm sick of it. Do you have any idea how lucky you are that Pacey is your son? He's been getting A's this year, and he's helped me out millions of time, '' she turned to Pacey, ''he's my hero, and I love him.''
The table was silent as Andie stood up. ''Come on Pacey, let's get out of here.''
Pacey obliged and went to get their coats.
The Leery house
Dawson was very uncomfortable. Wouldn't you be if your divorced parents were spending the day together? Dawson sat with his father watching TV as his mom washed the dishes. How much he wished for the old days, when his parents were very much in love and him and Joey would sneak upstairs and watch movies.
The doorbell rang, and Dawson let himself hope it was Joey, come to spread some Christmas cheer. It was his other best friend.
''Hey D. Can we come in?'' Pacey asked.
Dawson nodded and Andie and Pacey made their way inside. Gale came out of the kitchen and Mitch came out of the living room.
''Pacey, what a pleasant surprise.'' Gale said, giving the boy a hug.
''Mr. Leery.'' Pacey greeted, shaking Mitch's hand.
''Well to what do we owe this visit?''
''We were at the Witter's for dinner and they kept saying horrible things about Pacey. I told them off and we left.'' Andie said.
Pacey grinned. ''Mitch, Gale, I'd love to introduce my girlfriend, Andie McPhee.''
Gale smiled and hugged her.
''While we were in the car, Pacey asked me if I wanted to meet his real family. I said yes and he brought us here.''
Mitch smiled and clapped Pacey on the shoulder.
''Come on into the kitchen, I bet I can find something for you kids to eat.'' Gale said.
Andie followed Gale and Pacey turned to Dawson.
''Merry Christmas D.''
''Merry Christmas Pacey.''
They followed the girls into the kitchen.
The Potter Home
They had all finished dinner and were about to sit down and watch Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, when there was a knock on the door. Joey answered it.
''Merry Christmas!'' Andie exclaimed.
Joey laughed and hugged her. ''You too Andie.''
Andie went in the house to find Jack. Pacey walked up to Joey.
''Merry Christmas Joey.'' he said, holding out a hand.
''Merry Christmas Pace.'' she said, taking it.
Pacey pulled on her arm and gave her a huge bear hug.
''Pacey! Let me go!'' came Joey's muffled shout.
Pacey grinned and everyone laughed. He let go of Joey, who then hit his arm.
''Jackass.'' she muttered.
''Hope you don't mind if we came Bess, but Andie insisted on seeing her brother.'' Pacey said.
The eldest Potter came him a hug and Bodie shook his hand. ''Not at all. We finished dinner though, if you guys are hungry, I could-''
''No, we stopped at the Leery's and ate there.''
''Why didn't you eat at your place?'' Jack asked.
Pacey's eyes darkened and he looked away.
''Even on Christmas?'' Joey asked, disgusted.
Pacey shrugged and morphed back into his cheerful self. ''So what are we watching?''
''Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.'' Bessie answered.
Everyone took their seats. Bodie and Bessie on the love seat with Alex. Jack and Andie on the couch. Joey turned to Pacey, who was hanging up his coat.
''How's Dawson?'' she asked.
''He's alright. It was kinda awkward over there but, he'll be ok.''
Joey sighed and looked down.
''You're not doing anything wrong Jo. You wanted to spend the holiday with your boyfriend, and you did.'' Pacey assured her.
Joey gave a soft smile. ''Thanks Pace.''
He smiled and went to sit down next to Andie on the couch. He wrapped an arm around her and she lay her head on his shoulder. Joey went to sit in the rocking chair. Jack reached over and took her hand and she smiled at him.
Jack leaned over and kissed her softly.
AN-And there's that one. Happy Holidays, everyone!
