The Reunion
Everyone was sitting in the
living room. Jack explained to everyone the little girl was Andie's
while she put her down to sleep in one of the empty guest rooms.
Andie stepped back in.
"I know you're all probably wondering why I didn't mention
her before. I don't know why. I guess I should fill you in on
everything."
She explained that 5 years ago she fell in love with and english
guy who was living in Italy. A year later they married and a year
after that they had Emma. Then 8 or so months ago things got bad.
But they worked through it. Then a week ago she discovered he was
having an affair so she packed up everything and brought Emma to
America. She was in tears by the time she'd finished. Jack put
his arm around her. Joey and Jen sat in silence, shocked at the
fact Andie had been through that.
"I'm not going back, and I'm filling for divorce. And I'm
going to get custody of Emma. No way I am letting that bastard
have her."
No one knew what to say. Andie understood that they were upset
for her even without them saying.
Pacey broke the silence, "Erm anyone want to watch "Silence
of the Lambs"?" Andie laughed quietly to herself.
"Pace you know me and Jen can't stand horror. You and Drue
discovered that when we watched "Scream" remember?"
Joey argued. Pacey grinned at her.
"Ok we won't then." Joey grinned back.
Jack got up. "We should get going Andie." Andie nodded.
She got up and went to get Emma from the bedroom. She came back
out, Emma was asleep in her arms. She looked so much like Andie
it was scary. After Jack and Andie left, Jen got up.
"I'm going to go to bed." She looked at Drue. "You
coming?" Drue got up and said good night to Pacey and Joey,
leaving them lying on the sofa. Pacey stretched.
"I guess I should be going." He got up to go, Joey got
up behind him.
"You're not going anyway she whispered in his ear.
A smile spread slow across his face, "I'm not?" he
asked turning around to face her. She took his hand and lead him
to her room.
The light shone in through a crack in Joey's curtains. She rolled
over, Pacey was still fast sleep. She lay watching him sleep. In
Jen's room Drue was doing the same. Jen slowly started to wake up.
She saw Drue watching her. She smiled, leaned forward and kissed
him lightly on the lips.
"Morning." He said as she leaned back.
Joey climbed out of bed. Pacey pulled her back down and threw the
covers over her.
"Pacey I've got to get up. I've got to make breakfast for
the guests."
"Ok, well I'll help then. Even though you're only guests are
Jen and now Drue." Pacey was right. Bessie had closed the B+B
to everyone else for 3 weeks. Pacey climbed out of bed and the
both of them walked to the kitchen. It wasn't long before Jen and
Drue came walking into the kitchen. The four of them sat down to
a breakfast of eggs, bacon and beans.
"I could get used to this." Laughed Jen.
Three weeks soon went by and before they knew it was time to
leave as Bessie and Bodie were back. Joey pulled out a small
suitcase from her room. Jen had already loaded hers into the car.
Drue stood there, arms wrapped around Jen and hers wrapped round
him. Pacey was leaning against the car, waiting for Joey. She
said her goodbye to Bessie, Bodie and Alex. And promised to visit
soon. She walked outside., Pacey ran to get her case and loaded
it into Jen's car.
"I'm gonna come visit you really soon." He said pulling
her tight.
"You better." She smiled at him. He leaned down and
kissed her. "I'll ring you as soon as I get home." She
promised. Slowly they pulled apart. Jen pulled away from Drue.
She kissed him once before saying goodbye and that she would ring
him.
"Ready Jo?" Joey nodded and climbed in the car.
"Right let's go get the others." Jen jumped into the
drivers seat. As they drove off joey turned round and waved to
Pacey. "I love you." She mouthed. He mouthed it back.
