Potter B and B

Capeside

Pacey is sitting in one of the armchairs with Andie in his lap. Harm is sitting on the lounge with his arm around Mac who is curled up and leaning against him. Jack is on the other end of the lounge talking to Pacey and Andie, while Harm and Mac are reading over a case file. Dawson is sitting on the other armchair, with his arms wrapped around Joey's waist, who is sitting in his lap. The two of them are totally absorbed in each other, joking, kissing and talking, oblivious of the others in the room.

Jen walked into the room looks at Pacey and Andie. 'Couple.' Then looks at Harm and Mac, 'couple.' Then looks at Dawson and Joey, 'couple.' Looks at Jack 'gay.'

'So Will,' looking at Jack. 'Do you ever feel that you need to expand your social circle?' she joked.

'Nah, I don't think so Grace,' he joked back.

'Hey, don't stick us all in the same basket as Joey and Dawson.' Pacey said. 'At least we've all realised that there are other people in the room.' He added, his voice rising in an attempt to get Joey and Dawson's attention. The rest of the group looked at Dawson and Joey, who were still totally wrapped up in each other.

Pacey picked up a cushion and threw it at them. 'D, Joey. You think you can join the rest of us?' he asked as the cushion hit them.

'What?' Joey demanded as she turned around to see who had thrown the cushion at her and Dawson.

'If you're going to do that, will the two of you get a room.' Pacey joked.

'I know a good B and B.' Dawson laughed.

'Yeah and I know the owner,' Joey smirked at Dawson. 'So what do you way Dawson, do you want to stay there?'

Dawson started kissing her passionately in reply. They pulled apart and looked at each other intensely.

'Good answer.' Joey smiled her half smile.

'Love birds, we hate to interrupt but do you think you can manage to interact on a group level for more than two seconds?' Jen asked.

'Huh?' Joey and Dawson looked blankly at Jen.

'I think I know how we can focus their attention on the group for more than a few milli seconds.' Andie piped up.

'I didn't realise you knew how to perform miracles,' Jen said laughing.

'She straightened Jailbait out didn't she?' Joey laughed, smirking at Pacey.

'Watch it D. Your lips might freeze to the Ice Queen there,' Pacey joked back.

'Guys,' Jack demanded. 'Will you let Andie finish.'

'Thanks Jack. Now our 2 newly formed couples haven't enlightened us on how they finally got their acts together and united.'

'Oh, this I've got to hear!' Jen grinned.

'Yeah, I noticed you made your move Harm.' Dawson said.

'I see you made yours as well.' Harm replied.

'Actually it was Joey.' Dawson admitted to the group, kissing Joey on the lips.

'Yeah, well it was actually Mac,' Harm admitted as well, kissing Mac on the cheek.

'Oh, give it up for girl power!' Andie said as Joey, Mac and Jen burst out laughing.

'So, whose going to spill the goss first?' Jen demanded.

'Harm and Mac,' Joey replied immediately.

'Sounds like a good idea,' Dawson added.

'It all started movie night…' Harm started

'When he fell of the ladder,' Mac added as Harm tried to cover her mouth to prevent her from telling them.

'You didn't?' Pacey asked amused. 'Joey how long heave you been climbing the ladder?'

'Since I was seven.'

'How many times have you fallen off?'

'Never.'

'Harm, you're a loser,' Mac joked. 'Good thing you're a squid. You would have never made it through boot camp.'

'Be nice, jarhead. Now, can we please get back to the story? When we were walking back, Mac picked me up.'

'So what line did you use?' Jen asked.

'What he thought of Harm and Sarah for baby's names,' Mac said while the gang had puzzled looks on their faces. 'And of course he assumed I was pregnant.'

'Men,' Jen said, rolling her eyes.

'What kind of pick up line is that?' asked Jack. 'I don't get it.'

'It has meaning,' Harm said smiling at Mac.

'Well, we aren't psychic. Would you like to fill us in,' Andie pointed out.

'About a year ago, our godson was born. We helped deliver him on the floor of our boss's office. I was going through a really bad stage in my life, so Harm and I made a promise to each other that if we weren't in relationships in five years, we would get together and have a baby.' Mac explained.

'Well that's taking planning a future to the extreme.' Jen said.

'So what happened next?' asked Jack.

'I finally realised what Mac was referring to and the rest as they say is history.' Harm continued.

'In the making.' Added Mac.

'Are we going to get any details?' Pacey asked hopeful.

'Sorry, it's classified.' Mac said as Harm kissed her.

'Dawson, Joey, I think it's your turn,' Harm said turning to the two of them.

'Does anyone want any drinks?' Joey offered, in an attempt to get the conversation away from her and Dawson.

'Potter!' Pacey ordered. 'Talk.'

Joey turned and looked at Dawson.

'Well, like Harm and Mac, it happened on movie night.' Explained Dawson. 'We were watching ET. At least I was, Jo was starring off into space.'

'No I wasn't.'

'Yes you were. I stopped the movie five minutes before you realised. When I caught her on the fact she wasn't concentrating, she asked if I was happy with the way things were.'

'And then we did what we're know for.'

'You analysed,' said Pacey.

'Yeah and then Dawson kissed me in reply.'

'What to the analysing?' asked Jack.

'No to something she said.'

'Which was?' asked Jen.

Joey looked at Dawson and nodded to let him know it was alright to tell them.

'She said to me that we met too young, but that doesn't mean we couldn't try again.' Dawson said as he kissed her.

'You can draw your own conclusions as to what we decided,' Joey said. Turning to Pacey, she added. 'Thank you. If it wasn't for what you said, we would never have gotten our acts together.'

'Anytime. Anyone who has known the two of you for more than two seconds knows that the two of you are meant to be together.' Pacey replied.

'No, Jo is right Pace. We owe you a lot. Thanks,' Dawson added.

At that moment, Mac's cell phone rang.

'Don't you ever turn that thing off,' Pacey jokingly asked Mac.

She glared at him before throwing a pillow at Pacey. As Mac answered the phone, Pacey threw it back at her, but missed and hit Harm, who threw it back, causing a huge pillow fight to begin.

'Hello,' Mac said as she burst out laughing.

'Colonel,' the Admiral said.

'Oh sir, how are you?' Mac asked as she tried to control her laughter.

'Colonel, what is so funny?' the Admiral demanded.

'Nothing sir.'

'It's a very funny nothing, colonel.'

'Awww' Pacey said as a pillow hit him in the face.

'What was that?' the admiral asked Mac.

'Pacey sir.'

'Now you're going to get it Jen,' Pacey called out.

'Colonel, what the hell is happening there?'

'Um, a pillow fight sir.'

'A what?'

'A pillow fight. You know, where people attack each other with pillows….' Mac trailed off.

'I know what a pillow fight it! Where's the commander?'

'Currently launching an attack on Jack and Jen, sir.'

'Well this confirms it.'

'Confirms what sir?'

'That the two of you have lost the plot. I want you and the commander home.'

'Home?'

'Now Colonel. 0900 hours Monday morning, I want both of you in my office.'

'That's less than a day and a half.'

'Yes colonel it is. I'll be waiting to see how much you and the commander have done.'

'Aye aye sir.' Mac said as the admiral ended the call. She put her phone away.

'What did the Admiral want?' asked Harm.

'Us.' Mac replied.

'Sorry,' Harm said confused.

'We have to report for duty 0900 hours Monday morning.'

'What?' Harm asked.

'Oh, it gets better. The Admiral wants to see how much work we've done.'

By this stage the rest of the group had quietened down. 'So you're leaving?' Jen asked.

'Yes.' Mac replied.

'After we pull an all nighter preparing this case,' Harm added.

'Been there done that,' Pacey laughed.

'You know what that means Joey?' Jen asked.

'What?'

'You and Dawson have the B and B all to yourselves till Thursday. Since Bessie rang and they've extend their visit.' Jen pointed out, giving the pair a knowing smile.

'Jen.' Joey said.

'Yes?'

'Don't go there.'
