"Do you think he is ok Pace?" Joey asked as they sat on the porch. She leaned into him grateful for his warmth.
Pacey pulled her closer to him, the feel of her body comforting after the long day. "I think that in time, he will be better. I talked to Doug today about what happened; before we leave I am going to tell Dawson what he told me."
Joey looked up at him for a few moments before leaning up to kiss him. Pacey responded wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her closer still. Deepening the kiss he shifted his position so Joey was pulled onto his lap.
A sound of amused coughing broke the two apart. They both turned and looked into the smiling faces of Bessie and Brodie.
Blushing Joey slid off of Pacey's lap. "Do you need something Bessie?" she chocked out.
"We were going to go for walk, could you hold down the fort and watch the baby for us?" Brodie asked through his laughter.
"Sure we can," Pacey answered rubbing Joey's back reassuringly.
"Thanks Joey and I'm so glad you two are back together," Bessie tossed over her shoulder as they walked away.
"Well that went well," Pacey joked pulling Joey to her feet. "Let's go man the battle stations."
"Do you think we should go over there Pace, see how he is?"
"Jo, I know you are worried about him, I am two. I think that when and if he needs us he will call. It isn't like he doesn't know where to find us." Crossing over he gently began to massage her back.
"I guess your right, it isn't like we live a million
miles away."
Dawson's House
"I guess I better be going back to the B and B," Faylinn broke the silence that hung in the kitchen since Gail had left.
"Wait, stay with me…for awhile, we can watch a movie."
Faylinn searched his face for a few moments before answering, "I can always take a cab back to the B and B if it is really late."
"Thank you," he gratefully said. Taking her hand he lead her up to his room. "Normally I would offer you an option but there is a movie I really want to see right now."
"Whatever you want to watch," she said glancing around his room.
Dawson turned and looked at her holding the tape in his hands. "I have some extra pajama bottoms, if you would be more comfortable, they're in the closet."
Shooting him a grateful look she went to get them and change. As she was gone Dawson set up the movie.
"So what are we watching?"
"Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade."
"I love that movie!" Faylinn exclaimed looking at Dawson who was sitting on the bed.
He patted the space next to him, and she quickly went over. He started the movie then laid out fully on the bed. A few moments later Faylinn followed his lead. Within the first hour of the movie the jetlag and travel caught up with her and she was asleep. Dawson watched her sleep for a few minutes before turning the movie off. He had laid down again when she woke up.
"I should go," she mumbled sitting up in the bed, still half asleep.
"Please don't leave me alone tonight," Dawson pleaded with her, as he took hold of her hand. He sat up and gently pulled her back towards him. She relaxed into him falling back asleep in his arms.
"I'll stay," she whispered as she let sleep reclaim her once more.
Dawson stared at her in the moonlight, still not
believing that this beautiful creature was his. Carefully he laid her back
down on his bed. Sifting carefully he spooned her against him. He heard
a sigh as he wrapped his arms around her pulling her into him. He buried
his face into her hair breathing in her scent as he fell asleep.
