Chapter 11

He pulled back. 'As long as Rose and Matt are the middle names,' he said grinning.

'Can you pinch me so I know this is real,' Mac said.

Harm kissed her for the second time.

'Twice, now I know I'm dreaming,' Mac smirked at him.

Harm pinched her in reply.

'What was that for?' she asked.

'You asked me to pinch you and now you know you're not dreaming.'

'Are you sure this is what you want?' Mac asked watching Harm intently.

'I've never felt more sure about anything in my life,' he replied kissing her.

'That's good because now I've got you, I'm not letting you go.' Mac replied wrapping her arms around his waist.

'Suits me,' he grinned.

'Now as much as I like kissing you under the stars, I'm cold,' Mac said. 'Can we go back to the B and B?'

'I think we can do something about that,' Harm grinned as he picked her up.

Potter B and B

Capeside

Dawson and Joey are sitting at the kitchen table, holding hands, talking about what the day's plans are. Harm and Mac walk in, Harm sits down with Mac in his lap.

'I take it the two of you are an item,' Joey said grinning.

'No. Harm's more comfortable than a chair,' Mac replied grinning back.

'Thanks Mac,' Harm said acting upset.

'Well you compared me to a watch,' Mac told Harm as he kissed her.

'What are you doing today, guys?' asked Dawson.

'We should probably do some work,' Harm said.

'Do we have to?' Mac complained.

'For every case file you read, I'll reward you.' Harm offered, giving Mac his best flyboy grin.

'What kind of reward?' Mac asked, flirting.

'You'll have to wait and see,' Harm replied, flirting back.

Getting up, Mac pulled Harm up saying, 'We better get to work.'

The Ruins

Capeside

Dawson and Joey are lying on the picnic rug in the middle of the ruins kissing. Slowly Joey stops and pulls back searching Dawson's eyes for answers to the questions that have been worrying her since they kissed last night.

'I'm sure Jo!' Dawson replied to the worrying questions he could see in her eyes.

'Are you really sure Dawson? I don't want to do this if you're not sure we should be together. We haven't worked out in the past. I want to know that this isn't going to end the same way,' Joey said honestly.

'Jo I'm sure. You once said that you'd never experienced anything important without me being by your side. Well I can't imagine graduating, Prom, college, getting married or having children without you being their holding my hand and us supporting each other.'

'Don't forget the Oscar speech, Dawson.' Joey smiled her half smile.

'Jo my parents might have taught me that love ends and begins again, but it was you who taught me that loving someone with part of you isn't enough. You need to love them with all of you and that's where we went wrong in the past, we were so worried about losing each other that we kept a piece of ourselves to ourselves. I'm not going to do that this time Jo.'

'Me either Dawson. I've tried being without you and I can't do it. Distancing myself from you is like distancing myself from myself. My heart, everything of me is yours. This time it's forever Dawson and you know what, for the first time that thought doesn't scare me.'

'We may be young, Jo, but when you fine your soulmate you shouldn't let them go. And I'm not letting you go.'

'I love you Dawson Leery.' Joey said kissing him.

'I love you Josephine Potter.' Dawson said returning Joey's kiss before she could hit him over the Josephine remark.

Potter B and B

Capeside

Joey and Dawson are arriving home from their romantic picnic at the ruins. In the mean time Andie, Pacey, Jack and Jen have arrived at the B and B just home from their vacation.

'That's Andie's car, they must be back from their holiday,' Joey said to Dawson.

'So are we going to tell them Jo?' Dawson asked.

'You know what they're going to say don't you?'

'Probably "we told you so"' laughed Dawson

'Not probably, definitely,' Joey grinned, 'but I have an idea.'

'What's this idea then?'

'Let's see how long it takes them to figure it out. If they haven't in a couple of days we will come clean, but otherwise….' Joey trailed off.

'This means we have to sneak around.'

'Not so much as sneak around as refrain from touching each other while they're around.' Joey clarified.

'Same thing.' Dawson pointed out.

'We will have to do it around your parents and Bessie and Bodie anyway, or they aren't going to let you stay here again.'

'Alright you're on. I give them 48 hours.' Dawson said.

'24 hours,' Joey said. 'If I'm right you have to buy me a romantic dinner.'

'And if I am?'

'I'll cook you one.'

'Alright,' Dawson said kissing Joey full on the lips.

Joey and Dawson walk into the lounge room where Mac, Harm and everyone are sitting around talking.

'Hi guys,' Joey said.

'Hi Joey, Dawson. Where have you guys been?' Jen asked.

'On a picnic. We were reminiscing,' Joey said.

'Jo, where do you want this stuff?' Dawson asked, indicating the things he was holding.

'Ah, picnic basket in the kitchen. I'll put the rug in the cupboard,' she said taking the rug.

Dawson and Joey went to put their things away.

'Mac, why didn't you tell us they were together?' Jen demanded.

'Because they aren't as far as we know,' she said looking at Harm.

'They haven't said anything,' Harm added.

'I bet you $10 they are together,' Jen said holding out her hand.

'Alright, deal.' Harm said shaking it.

'This was too easy,' Jen smiled at Harm as Joey and Dawson walked back into the room.

'What was too easy?' Joey asked.

'Nothing,' Jen smiled at her. 'Anything interesting happen while we were away?'
