(Cut to Dawson and Joey in bed.)
DAWSON: Wow.
JOEY: Shocker huh?
(Dawson nods)
JOEY: Was to me too.
DAWSON: This is good though.
JOEY: Is it?
DAWSON: Joey, I'm not going to leave you. Not now, not ever. No way. We're ready for a kid.
JOEY That's news to me.
DAWSON: I thought you wanted a baby, Joey.
JOEY: Maybe in a few years! It's different when reality sets in.
(Dawson sighs, and Joey turns her back to him.)
DAWSON: (whispers) I love you, Jo.
JOEY: (lays still for awhile then whispers back) I love you too.
(Dawson puts his arms around her, and they both fall asleep.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(Cut to an airport. It's the next day. People are getting off a plane, Andie's one of them. Next we cut to Andie in a taxi, then standing in front of Jack's house looking nervous. Jewel's "Standing Still" is playing. Andie knocks at the door.)
DOUG: (answers) Hel- Andie!
ANDIE: Doug! (They hug.) How are you?
DOUG: Great, come on in.
(Andie steps inside and the two go to the living room, where Jack is grading papers, and Amy is watching Sesame Street.)
JACK: (Looking down at the papers.) Who was that?
DOUG: Nobody important.
ANDIE: Just you're sister.
JACK: (Looks up) Andie!
ANDIE: Jackers! (They hug.) And Amy! Get over here and give me a hug!
AMY: (Squeals and runs over to Andie, hugging her.) Andie home!
ANDIE: Yes baby, Andie's home.
DOUG: (Smiles) She's missed you.
ANDIE: Haven't you as well?
JACK: Nope. Not one bit.
AMY: Have too!
(They all laugh, and the adults sit down. Amy goes back to playing with her toys.)
ANDIE: So how is everyone?
JACK: Don't you talk to them?
ANDIE: There's an occasional e-mail, but I'd hardly call that "keeping in touch".
JACK: Pacey's single, like I said. Joey and Dawson are back together. They actually live together now. Pacey says they're like an old, boring married couple.
ANDIE: (laughs) That's Pacey alright.
JACK: And you know all about Doug, Amy, and I.
ANDIE: (nods) Yeah.
DOUG: We should have everyone over for dinner.
JACK: We do that a lot around here, hope you don't mind.
ANDIE: Not at all. I'd love to see them all.
DOUG: Well, in that case I'll call them. Then, I'm off to work for the day.
JACK: Bye. (Kisses him. (A/N: Sorry if Jack/Doug scenes suck. They're a bit weird to me, so I'm not that great.)
ANDIE: Awww. You guys are so cute!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(Cut to Pacey at work. He's in his office when a guy comes in.)
GUY: Mr. Witter, a woman's here to apply for the watering position we put in the paper.
PACEY: Thanks, Carl. Send her on in.
(A blonde girl walks in. She's wearing a low-cut top and a short denim skirt. Pacey looks her over, and smiles to himself.)
PACEY: (stands up) Hi, I'm Pacey Witter, manager of the Ice House.
WOMAN: So I've heard.
PACEY: And what would your name be?
WOMAN: Samantha. Samantha Collins.
PACEY: Well, Samantha, Samantha Collins what brings you here to Capeside?
(She starts to answer, but we cut to Joey and Dawson's bedroom. Both of them are finishing up with getting dressed. The phone rings.)
JOEY: I'll get it!
DAWSON: It's okay, I've got it. (He picks up the phone.) Hello?
DOUG: Dawson, hey.
DAWSON: Hey. What's up?
DOUG: You'll never believe who's in town.
DAWSON: Steven Spielberg.
DOUG: Andie.
DAWSON: Not as great as Steven, but hey, that's great!
DOUG: Anyways we're having a little get together. Tonight, our place. You and Joey. We'll say maybe 5:30?
DAWSON: Sounds great.
DOUG: Alright bye.
DAWSON: Bye. (He hangs up the phone.)
JOEY: Who was that?
DAWSON: Doug. Andie's back.
JOEY: (Looks surprised.) Really?
DAWSON: Yeah. We're going there tonight for dinner, at 5:30. Should we tell them?
JOEY: Nah. Not yet. Bessie doesn't know yet and I sort of wanted to tell her.
DAWSON: Good idea. I want to tell my mom too.
JOEY: (Bites her lip.) I don't want to do this alone. Come with me.
DAWSON: Fine, but then I'm going to go look for a job.
JOEY: (smiles) Okay.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(Cut to Pacey talking to Samantha.)
SAMANTHA: So, after spending the year in the south of France, I decided to come back to Capeside. I summered here a few years back.
PACEY: Interesting. (His cell phone rings.) Excuse me. (He answers it.) Hey.
DOUG: Pacey, Andie's here, come over to dinner at 5:30 tonight.
PACEY: Okay, I gotta go.
DOUG: Why? Got a hot date?
PACEY: Sort of. Tell you about it later. Bye. (He hangs up.) Anyways, where were we?
SAMANTHA: I was just about to tell you how that shirt compliments your eyes so nicely.
PACEY: And I was right about to do this. (He kisses her.)
SAMANTHA: Mmm. So I take it I got the job?
PACEY: You betcha. (He goes back to kissing her.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(Cut to Joey and Dawson sitting on the couch at Bessie's. Bessie's sitting on a chair.)
BESSIE: So I take it the fights done?
JOEY: Yeah.
(There's an uncomfortable silence.)
BESSIE: So, did you guys just come to grace me with your presence, or is there a reason?
(Dawson smiles)
JOEY: I guess you could say that.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(Cut to Andie at the park with Jack and Amy. Andie and Jack are pushing Amy. Jack's behind her, and Andie's in front of her, making sure she doesn't go too high.)
ANDIE: I'm so glad to be here.
JACK: I'm glad you're here too.
AMY: Me too!
ANDIE: (smiles) I really missed Capeside.
JACK: Seems to be a popular thought.
ANDIE: What do you mean?
JACK: Dawson and Joey just moved back. Dawson about three months ago, and Joey came back like 2 weeks after Dawson. The weird thing is none of you know the others were here.
ANDIE: Capeside just has a way of making me feel.at home. You know?
JACK: I understand completely.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(Cut to Pacey in his office, making out with Samantha.)
PACEY: (pulls away) I've done this before, and I can't believe I'm going to say this but, I don't think it's a good idea.
SAMANTHA: Whatever, Pacey. See you later?
PACEY: Yeah, you need to be here at 10 AM tomorrow, and every day after that besides holidays. You get off at 8. (He gets back to his paperwork.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(Cut back to Bessie, Dawson, and Joey.)
BESSIE: Are you going to tell me what's up or do I have to guess?
(Joey sighs)
BESSIE: Okay, I have to guess. Did you run off to Vegas and get married?
(They shake their heads.)
BESSIE: Did you.rob a bank?
(They shake their heads.)
BESIE: Do anything illegal?
(They shake their heads.)
BESSIE: Get pregnant?
(They both look at the ground.)
BESSIE: No.way.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(Cut to Jack and Andie, who's carrying Amy, walking home.)
ANDIE: I think I'm more tired than she is!
JACK: Try doing this every day.
ANDIE: I feel for you, Jack.
JACK: I love it though. Wouldn't trade it for anything.
ANDIE: (smiles) I'm glad.
JACK: I want another kid someday.
ANDIE: Really?
JACK: (Nods.) Adoption. I really don't mind what gender, nationality, age, whatever. I just love having a kid. A younger kid would be nice, so Amy could still be the oldest.
ANDIE: I have a friend. Her name's Catherine, she's 8 months pregnant. She doesn't want the baby, is giving it up for adoption. She's white, smart, didn't drink or do drug or anything. And she still needs a parent for the child. I'm sure she'd be glad to let you have the baby. You could name it and everything.
JACK: (Looks thoughtful.) I'd have to talk to Jack. But I'm definitely interested.
ANDIE: (Smiles.) I'll tell her. I can always tell her no later anyways.
JACK: Thanks Andie. You're great.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(Cut to Joey, Dawson, and Bessie)
JOEY: Come on Bessie! You had Alexander when you were younger than me!
BESSIE: It's just.you're my baby sister!
JOEY: But this is okay?
BESSIE: I guess. But I'll have you know, Dawson, that if you leave her and that baby, I will hunt you down and hurt you. Badly.
DAWSON: I have to intentions on doing that.
BESSIE: Good.
JOEY: I'd stay, but we have to go tell Gail.
BESSIE: Have fun.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(Cut to the Icehouse. Pacey's getting ready to leave, and Andie comes in.)
ANDIE: Hey stranger.
PACEY: Andie! (Hugs her.) I've missed you so much!
ANDIE: If only I could say the feeling was mutual.
(They both laugh.)
ANDIE: I've missed you too, Pace. A lot.
PACEY: I was surprised to hear you were back.
ANDIE: With Jack and Doug getting married and everything, I couldn't stay away much longer. Plus I missed everyone. Everything.
PACEY: Are you back for good?
ANDIE: I think I might be.
PACEY: Good. You better be.
ANDIE: (smiles) I'm glad I was missed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(Cut to Dawson, Joey, and Gail all siting at the kitchen table at Gail's.)
GAIL: It's so nice to see you, Joey. I thought I'd be seeing you more often. You too, Dawson.
JOEY: I should come in sometime I guess.
DAWSON: I'm here now aren't I?
GAIL: Yes, and I'm glad. So what brings you here anyways?
DAWSON: Oh, you know. Need money for the drug dealer. Says he's going to shut me down if I don't pay up.
JOEY: (Playfully hits him.) Dawson!
GAIL: Ha ha, Dawson. Seriously.
DAWSON: Joey's pregnant.
GAIL: Seriously.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(Cut to Jack and Doug talking in the kitchen while finishing up dinner.)
DOUG: Well if you think we can do it.
JACK: Doug, we have Amy. We do great with her. She's 2, so there will be a good age difference. They can be friends, but won't be so close they'll fight constantly. I know we can do it. You have to have faith.
DOUG: I'm just saying that this is a huge decision. I suppose a new kid would be nice. But we need to do some adjusting.
JACK: And I understand. We have a month.
DOUG: Okay. I'm fine with it. We can adopt a baby.
JACK: This is why I love you.
(They kiss.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(Cut to Pacey and Andie driving to Jack's house.)
ANDIE: It's so great that Jack and Doug are together. I gotta tell you-I'd never guess that Doug was gay.
PACEY: I always knew.
ANDIE: (smiles) And I bet you're just loving the fact that you were right?
PACEY: Oh yeah.
ANDIE: You'll never change, will you Pace.
PACEY: Nope.
ANDIE: Good. You better not.
PACEY: (Smiles.) Same for you, Andie.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(Cut to Gail, Dawson and Joey)
JOEY: It's true.
GAIL: Wow. That's something I wasn't prepared for.
DAWSON: Neither were we. But it's fine mom, it is.
GAIL: As long as you're ready.
DAWSON: We are!
GAIL: But you aren't married, and how do you know that this will last?
DAWSON: Gut instinct.
(Joey smiles at him.)
GAIL: Then I guess I'm going to say congratulations. And I'm glad I kept the majority of Lilly's baby things. The crib, highchair, the major things. If you don't want them, well the baby can have your room Dawson.
DAWSON: I'm glad I'm so easily replaced.
(They laugh.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(Cut to Pacey, Andie, Jack, Doug and Amy setting at Jack's dining room table.)
ANDIE: Where's Dawson and Joey?
DOUG: Don't worry, they're always late. You get used to it.
ANDIE: I see.
PACEY: Said the blind man.
JACK: To his deaf wife.
(They laugh.)
ANDIE: Is that the best you can come up with?
PACEY: Pretty much, yeah.
(Dawson and Joey walk in and take a seat.)
AMY: Hi!
JOEY: (Smiles.) Hi.
PACEY: So what's the excuse this time?
DAWSON: Visiting my mom.
PACEY: I bet you were.
(Andie raises an eyebrow.)
JOEY: Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom. (She walks off, sort of quickly.)
PACEY: She's no fun.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
(Cut to later on, after dinner. They're all in the living room-minus Amy who's sleeping. Jack's serving everyone wine.)
JACK: Some for Dawson, and for Joey.
JOEY: No thanks.
PACEY: Oh come on! You can't play drinking games without the drinks!
JOEY: (Smiles.) I think I'll pass.
JACK: (shrugs) Your choice.
ANDIE: So Joey, what are you doing these days?
JOEY: I'm an- (takes off for the bathroom)
(Dawson follows her.)
JACK: I don't care what anyone says. There's something wrong.
ANDIE: Obviously.
DOUG: What do you think it is?
PACEY: I hate to say this-but could Joey have an eating disorder?
(Joey and Dawson come out after awhile.)
PACEY: We know.
JOEY: (nervously) What?
ANDIE: That you're bulimic. It's okay Joey. We're your friends.
(Dawson and Joey laugh)
JACK: Guys this is serious.
DAWSON: It's not that.
DOUG: Then what is it?
JOEY: (looks nervously at Dawson) I'm pregnant.
DAWSON: Wow.
JOEY: Shocker huh?
(Dawson nods)
JOEY: Was to me too.
