Chapter 10: So They Meet Again
Joey POV:
I could hear the beep of his heart as I paced outside his room, trying to talk myself into taking that step into the room. What am I going to say? Would he even want me here? Of course he would Joey; he loves just take that step into the room. I took a deep breath and went to move inside the room, when I hear his heartbeat flat line. I rushed into Pacey's hospital room, hoping my ears is playing tricks on me but his eyes was closed and I hear the pen hit the floor before I snap out of my daze. I ran to the door "Help Please" I yell before going to Pacey. "Please don't leave me, Tesoro. I can't do this without you love. Please you can't leave me. I'm Sorry." I tell him as the room start to swarm with nurses and doctors. I am pulled off of him as they begin to work at him. It felt like forever before I heard the foreign but familiar heart monitor beep at a steady pace. My eyes never left his face, I watched for any sign that he came back to me, but there was no sign that he was alive except for the steady beep of the monitor next to the bed. "Why isn't he moving" I ask drawing the attention over to me.
"Miss I think it would be better is you…" One nurse begun before I cut her off
"Don't you dare ask me to leave him because I'm not going anywhere" I reply with as much venom as I could towards this incompetent nurse in front me. "Now answer my question. Why the hell is he not moving?" I glare at all of them.
This time a doctor came towards me with a book in his hands with them raised in the air. "It's going to be okay Mrs. Witter, your husband seem to have slipped into a coma." He finally answers my question. "We are going to take him to get checked out. We will bring him right back afterwards okay." He rushed to say when I'm sure he saw the fear in my eyes. He guided me to sit down in the chair by the bed and handed me the book. "Alright everyone let's get him moved down to the OR." He says not leaving me as another doctor and the nurses to moved Pacey from the room. I didn't realize I was shaking until I felt his hand on my arm. "When was the last time you ate?" he said as he scan up in down my body.
"This morning." I give a sheepish smile trying to ignore the creeps this guy was giving me.
"I will send a nurse in here with some food and a bottle water for you in the little one." He replied and my eyes widen at this. He left the room and soon after the room was filled with everyone else. They asked so many questions but they soon stooped when they saw I was in too much of a shock to answer anything. Just as the shock was beginning to ward off, the door opened again and my line of sight switched from the journal in my hand to the door as a nurse who looked to be around the age 60 walked in with a tray of food and bottle water.
"Hi Mrs. Witter" she smiled at me kindly and everyone else turned towards me with a raised eyebrow. "Dr. Pollard told me that you and the little one was in need of nutrition. So I brought you some things that would be edible and wouldn't taste like crap." She said and I laughed feeling at eased with this nurse, feeling a since of calm come over me.
"Thank you, I very much appreciate it and please call me Joey" I smile kindly at her. "Just with everything going on today food was the last thing on my mind." I politely supply ignoring all the shocked face in the room.
"Now I don't think Mr. Witter would like you going without meals Joey. You're eating for two now can't skip out on meals." I nod my head. "How far along are you, child?"
"I am close to 4 months pregnant." I reply.
"Ooh that means you will find out the sex of the baby soon." Tears start to well in my eyes. "Oh child, I didn't mean for you to cry."
"No" I shake my head wiping my tears away. "No it wasn't you, it's just he doesn't know yet. I was going to tell him today. I was pacing back and forth outside the room trying to figure out how to tell him. When I heard the heart monitor stopped, and my whole word tilted on its access, I ran to the room just as a pen hit the floor. All I could think is what if I missed my chance, what if he left and he didn't know that he was going to be a father." I say through the tears rolling down my face. "When his heart started to beat again, I felt life return back to my body only to leave me seconds later when he didn't move. I can't do this without him here." Shaking my head as I poured my heart out to this nurse, I don't know what came over me but I felt as if I could talk to her about anything. "He is my life, is it bad that I don't want to have this baby if he want be here?" I asked looking at the woman in front me looking as much as the little girl that I was feeling.
"No sweetie it's not bad at all." She said removing the tray from my lap and putting it on the bedside table next to me. "He is the love of your life and it's nothing wrong with wanting to grow old with him and raise your kids together and thought of neither of them happening with him is not appealing to you." She continued pulling me into her arms and laid my head on her chest as I continue to cry. "But you would do it because he would have wanted you too. I have no doubt that you will be a good mother with or without Mr. Witter." I nod my head.
"What if I fail him? What if this kid has to grow up without knowing his father? Or I am to depressed to me a good mother?" I mutter into her chest not sure she heard me.
"Oh child, we can't think like that. They say that he is just in a coma. But even if doesn't come out of this coma, then I know that you will try your best to make sure that this child knows that their father is the most important man in your life. You will tell him about the good things his dad. You will be okay child and so will he. You should have faith that the Lord has plans for everything." She smiled as she rocked me back and forth. "Now you stop this crying and you eat this food and I will be back to check on you later." She patted my leg and I don't know what having a grandmother would have been like but I assumed it would have been like this.
I nod my head and rose from her lap and sat back down in the chair. I felt a light kiss on my forehead as the tray was put back in my lap. I begin to eat the food after I tried to dry face with me hands. I look up at her, "Thank you" I attempt to smile at her.
"Your welcome sweetie, I will see you later on." She replied before leaving the room, leaving in a room full of weary, sad, and shocked faces.
"Mrs. Witter?" his parents asked.
"You're pregnant" Dawson asked in disgust. All did was rolled my eyes at them both. This is going to be a long night.
Pacey POV
"Hey Pace," I hear a voice from behind me. I turn around to see brown doe eyes looking back at me. Her hair is longer than the last time I saw it. It framed her face more the color with from brown to a light brown. She looked beautiful, not that she didn't look beautiful any other day but as my eyes travel down her body, they focus on her stomach. She looks to be at least 6 months pregnant, but that wasn't what caught my eye, it was the wedding set that graced her ring finger. "Babe, come on we have to get to the wedding or your sister is going to kill us for being late." She laughs.
"Mama, daddy lets go already" a little boy around the age of 5 years old came into the room. He looked to be annoyed that we were taking so long. I stood in shock at the scene before me. She was married to me and that is my kid she is caring. We have kids? How many? How old are we?
"Honey, are you okay? You look to have seen a ghost?" she walked over to me.
"Yeah," I shake myself out of my shock and enjoy the feel of her hands on me. "Come on Jo, let's go don't want sis getting mad." I say grabbing her hand and squeezing it and ruffling my son's hair. I laughed as he tries to bat my hands away. We walk out the room, I assume was mines and Joey's, and walked down the stairs and was met by two 5 years old little girls.
"Daddy" the little girls run to me and I bend down to catch out of reflex once I reached the last step.
"How are my little princesses?" I ask and smile as they giggle.
"Gud" one of them answered. She had blue eyes and long brown hair. I look toward the other little girl in my arms and was rewarded with the same look. "Mama said Alex is gonna be at the wedding" She continued. I look back at Joey and she rolled her eyes at the twins.
""Yeah, he should be there ladybug." I reply once Joey gives me a nod.
"Alright, Javen, Nat, and Sky car now" I hear Joey tell the kids and they all run towards the car, with us following not too far behind. The ride to the wedding ceremony was not that long a drive and once we arrived the kids went in search of Alex while Joey and I went to join Doug, and the rest of the gang.
"So how is the restaurant doing Pacey?" Jack asked as I pulled the chair out for Joey before sitting down next to her.
"It's doing good, thanks for asking" I reply. What restaurant?
"Oh he is being modest" Joey said squeezing my thigh. "So many people is talking about it, he is thinking about opening another one in Boston." She laughs bringing everyone attention to us.
"Wow that's big Pace, so what about you Joey, when is the next book coming out." Andie asked and I look at Joey really interested in what she had to say.
"Andie this book just hit just hit the stands 3 months ago" she laughs. "But I will tell you I am writing but in between editing and the kids it's going to be about a year before the next book come out." She replied
"More like she been trying to write but Pacey can't keep his hands off of her." Jen commented and Joey put her head down with red staining her cheeks but not before she shot a glare at Jen. We all laugh as I pull her into my side and kissed her forehead.
"It's okay baby, they are just jealous." I smile. The rest of the wedding went by without a hitch. I watch my little girls walk up the aisle as the flower girls they look so beautiful in their dresses. Then Javen walked up the aisle as the ring bearer in his tux, followed by some bridesmaids and then Joey, the matron of honor she nearly took my breath away. Then Gretchen and I made our way down the aisle, she look so beautiful. My big sister was finally getting married; I finally took a chance to look at the front to the man at the front. I wonder if the guy was good enough for my sister. If we were close and I was okay with them getting married. How did Joey look on our wedding day? As we reached the front of the aisle I kiss Gretchen on the chin and give her future husband a handshake as sign of approval before putting her hand in his and taking my seat.
We stayed at the reception till the happy couple went to their honeymoon. I carried the kids to the car with Jacks help because they tired their selves out so much that they were knocked out for the night.
"Doug and Me will be over around noon to pick the kids up, okay?" Jack says. I just nod my head giving Jack a hug before helping Joey into the car. Once we arrived home I put the kids in bed and Joey went to take a bath. I walked around the house and look for any clues as to how old I was now. I saw many photos, some of me and Joey in high school when we first dated then a wedding photo that look to have taken place the summer after high school. There is another picture that seemed to be with me in the hospital, the cancer. How did she find how?
"That was one of the best days of my life." She said coming up behind me,
"Why"
"That was the day we got told that you were going to be okay and that you were going into remission and it's been 6 years and your still in remission. The day we got married was my 2nd best day." She smiled.
"What's the first?" I ask out of curiosity.
"The day the triplets were born" her smile got even bigger. "Come on lets go to bed, I missed you today."
I laughed. "You been with me all day." I smile and I see the mischief shining through her eyes. "Do you really want to go to sleep?" I say as I pull her into my arms moving my head down to her neck and started to kiss up to her ear. "Because I can think of other things we can do."
"I don't know Pace, I am kind of tired." She let out a fake yawn. "You're on your own tonight." She said pulling out my reach and walking away going to the door before she stopped. "Though you can always watch me then we can go to sleep" she said letting the rob fall from her shoulders revealing a red and black lingerie set. That accents her curves and pushed her huge boobies up and showed of my child growing inside her stomach. My jaw dropped as I looked at my beautiful wife.
"You have 10 seconds." I growled out and she laughed before making a run for our run and I wasn't too long after her. Once we both reached the room I locked the door and approached her. "10" I say before my lips crashed to hers as I begin to undress her. "You are so beautiful."
"Pacey, please" Joey moaned as I tweaked her nipple. "Make love to me" and that's what I did I ravished her body all night till we were both too exhausted to move. I pulled her into my arms and we both fell asleep.
Through the night someone woke me up.
"Dad" the voice said.
I turned around and saw a woman that looked to be an older version of the twins. I turned back to look at Joey but to see that there was nothing there. "What is this?"
"This could be your future." Skyla replied.
"What do you mean?" I asked as I looked back at her.
"This was your future, something that is come to past. But in order to get this future you have to wake up." She said.
"Skyla, why did you show me this." I ask.
"Because if you don't wake up we never get to meet either of our parents and that baby you saw is never born." She explained.
"What do you mean you'll never get to meet either of us? What about Joey?" I ask not knowing if I want to know the answer.
"A year after we are born, your death hit her hard and she became depressed and she couldn't handle it, so she…"
"Don't," I cut her off before she speaks my worst nightmare. "I will go back, I promise." I say as I pull her into a hug. "I will see you right."
"Dad, don't worry about me right now worry about you and when I'm born then worry about Me." she laughed "I love you" she whisper and before I could respond she had already disappeared. I closed my eyes only to open them again to be greeted with a hospital room. I feel someone holding my hand and I look to the side to see Joey. I squeeze her hand to bring her attention away from whatever she was reading. She looked up at me.
"Pacey" she breathed out before throwing her arms around me. I slowly move my arms around her body and ever realized until this moment how much I need to see her and I missed her touch. In that moment I vowed to never let her go again.
