DEC 30TH 10: am 2 months
WITTER/MCPHEE HOUSE
Amy was lying on the couch flipping channels when a knock came to the door. Jack came through the kitchen door smirking at Amy on the way. Amy had closed her eyes and relaxed until she heard Jack's excited voice. "Andie!!" He said,.
"Hey Little brother." Andie said hugging him.
"When did you get in? Why didn't you call someone to come get you?" Jack rattled off.
Andie laughed and came inside. "I got in about 2 hours ago. And I didn't know who would be able to come get me. So I got a cab here." Andie said smiling.
"Well come on in Amy is in the living room. Doug had to go to the station one of the newer deputies was shot earlier so Doug is doing paperwork." Jack said leading into the Living room. Amy was sitting up when they came.
"Amy?" Andie asked surprised.
"Hey Aunt Andie." Amy said getting up and hugging her.
"Sweetie are you ok?" Andie asked noticing her paleness.
"Yeah I'm fine. Dad I'm gonna go up stairs and get something for this headache." Amy said.
"Ok hun." Jack said watching til she was out of eye sight. "Come on Sis I have some stuff to tell you." Jack said walking into the kitchen and grabbing a new coffee mug.
"Jack is something wrong with Amy?" Andie asked.
"She's pregnant." Jack said quietly.
Andie was shocked. "Wow. Umm do you guys know who the father is? And why are you not disowning her?" Andie asked.
"Cause she was Raped. By one of the teachers at the school." Jack said
"What? Are you sure?" Andie asked.
Jack looked at her weirdly. "I believe what Amy said." He said.
"I know but Jack Amy is Jen's daughter. Jen had some problems." Andie said.
Amy came into the kitchen and smiled. "Sorry to interrupt. Can I go over to Uncle Pacey's and Aunt Joey's I wanna spend time with Noah." Amy said.
"Sure Hun. Just don't over exert yourself." Jack said standing and kissing her head.
"Bye Amy." Andie said.
"Bye." Amy said walking out the back door.
"She's 2 months pregnant?" Andie asked.
"Yeah. I hear her throwing up what she ate the night before." Jack said.
11: AM
JOEY/PACEY'S PLACE
Amy was laying on the floor with Noah watching tv when the front door opened to reveal Doug coming in. "Hey guys." He said.
"Hey uncle Duggie. " Noah said running to him.
"Hey Little Man. Whatcha doing?" Doug asked throwing Noah in the air.
"Watching Toons with Ames." Noah said giggling.
Pacey came out of the kitchen and smirked at them. "Hey Sherif Douggie. What brings you by?" Pacey asked.
"Jack called me a few minutes ago and said Andie is at our house. I figured I'd give them time to talk." Doug said.
"Well you came to the right place. I am just fixing some chicken Curry." Pacey said.
"Mom's recipe?" Doug asked setting Noah down who wandered back over to Amy and curled back into her side and continued to watch the cartoons.
Joey came out of the bedroom and smiled. "Hey Doug." She said.
"Hey Joey. Did you know your husband is cooking our mother's recipe of Chicken Curry?" Doug asked.
"Yes. He is an amazing cook." Joey said wrapping her arms around Pacey's neck.
"EWWWWW." Noah said from the living room.
"What are you ewwwing about?" Pacey said going over and tickling the toddler.
Joey and Doug both noticed the far off look Amy had on her face. "Would you like some coffee Doug?" Joey asked.
"Sure." Doug said following Joey into the kitchen.
Once in the kitchen they both sighed. "Wonder what was said at the house to cause that pained look on Amy's face." Doug said.
"She really hasn't said much to me or Pacey this morning." Joey said pouring the cups of coffee.
When she sat down Amy came into the kitchen. "Hey Girlie. Where's Pacey and Noah?" Joey asked.
"Upstairs getting snow clothes on. Noah wants to build a snowman." Amy said.
"I think I'll go help em." Doug said going outside with the other Witter guys.
Joey looked pointedly at the chair that Doug had been sitting in. Amy got the idea and sat down and looked at her. "So tell me. What's the matter?" Joey asked her.
"Aunt Andie asked dad if he was sure I was telling the truth about being pregnant." Amy said looking down.
"What did he say?" Joey asked.
"He told her the proof was that I threw up every morning." Amy said bowing her head.
"Oh Amy." Joey said going over to her and hugging her.
Doug and Pacey were standing in the hall and both sighed. "Big brother I think we need to have a discussion with a certain teacher and his sister. What do you say?" Pacey said.
"Let's go." Doug said leading the way out the door.
MEANWHILE
MCPHEE/WITTER HOUSE
Jack and Andie were having coffee laughing and talking about old times when Pacey and Doug came in the back door. "Pacey!!" Andie said running to hug him.
"Hey McPhee. How's life treating you." Pacey said hugging her lightly.
"Good. I hear you're a daddy." Andie said laughing lightly.
"Jack we need to talk in the kitchen." Doug said softly to him.
"What's going on?" Jack asked once he was in the kitchen.
"Tell me something do you truly believe Amy was raped?" Doug asked.
"What? Yes I believe she was raped. Where in the hell is this coming from?" Jack asked. Doug was staring at the door leading to the living room.
Jack got it and closed his eyes. "Damn. Amy must of heard most all of that conversation. Is she ok?" Jack asked.
"What do you think Jack? She's over at Joey and Pacey's wondering if her main support system truly believes her." Doug said nearly exploding.
"I got to go and check on her." Jack said fixing to go into the living room but stopped when Doug caught his arm and made him be quiet.
"Did you accomplish what you came here to do?" Pacey was asking Andie.
"What I came here to do? What are you talking about Pace?" Andie asked.
"You know what I'm talking about. It was really clever. You figured you'd come in the disguise of seeing everyone. But hey while you're here you'll put some doubt on em. Make em doubt that Amy was telling the truth about being raped." Pacey said.
"You're still talking crazy Pacey." Andie said.
"No I think I'm talking the truth. You figured if you could get Jack to just doubt her a little then you won. Well let me tell you something Jack may have a little doubt but me Joey and Doug have none. We were all there when she was brought to our house. Let me give a description of what she looked like. Her close were all but gone. They were in shreds. She was in total shock and just about wouldn't let us touch her. Then on top of that the jerk busted her knee and wrist up pretty bad." Pacey said.
Andie stood there stock still. "Dear God." She finally said. Jack and Doug came into the room about that time. Jack was looking at Andie shaking his head.
"Jack Amy I believe is probably laying down. But go on over and check on her. I have to go to the restaurant." Pacey said grabbing his coat from the couch.
"Jack what about our visit. You aren't just gonna leave me here are you?" Andie asked.
"Andie you truly don't get it do you? Amy may be Jen's daughter biologically but she's my daughter emotionally. You may not think that but I do. And right now I may have showed her that I don't believe her and I do believe her. I believe that the sick SOB had the audacity to come with me and Doug to Ice House and while Amy was placing our orders down he squeezed her thigh. I know it happened cause I seen her tense up." Jack said.
"But Jack maybe it was consensual." Andie said.
Jack was beyond mad at his sister now. Doug and Pacey were ready to help him throw her out. "Andie let me tell you something. What Dentworth did to Amy was anything but consensual. If you don't wanna believe me ask Doug and Pacey I need to go and make right with Amy. If you don't think you can support her I don't want you here when I bring her home." Jack said walking out of the house.
"I can't believe he did that. He's my brother." Andie said.
"Can't blame him. As he said she's his daughter. And I know for a fact I would do anything including dying to protect Noah. And I'm sure Douggie would do the same thing." Pacey said looking at Doug.
"Absolutely." Doug said watching Andie.
PACEY/JOEY'S HOUSE
Jack knocked and Joey opened the door and smiled at him. "She and Noah are up in Noah's room taking a nap." She said and lead him into the kitchen.
"I screwed up Joey. I screwed up royally." Jack said rubbing his hands over his face.
"I don't think you screwed up. I think you got played." Joey said.
"Me too." Amy's voice said from behind them.
"Is Noah still napping?" Joey asked.
"Yeah." Amy said smiling.
"Well I think I'll go check my Email." Joey said leaving the room.
Amy sat down across from Jack. "Is Aunt Andie still at the house?" Amy asked.
"I honestly don't know. After I realized what she was up to I told her I was coming to check on you and if she didn't think she could handle supporting us then she didn't need to be at the house when we got back." Jack said.
Amy nodded. "Daddy do you believe me?" Amy asked finally.
"Yes I do..." Jack said getting up and going around the table and squatting down beside Amy.
"I believe you every time I hear you crying when you think no one else hears you. I believe you every morning when you spend 30 minutes to an hour throwing up due to morning sickness. And I believe you cause I know you would never lie about something that big." Jack said pulling Amy into his arms and kissed her head.
"I love you so much." Jack said. Doug was standing in the door way smiling. He wished that all outcomes was this nice but they weren't.
