Life's Little Twists
3 weeks went by. 3 weeks of panic. Dawson, Jack and Jen were getting suspicious over the nerve wrecked Joey and Pacey. Dawson was at his wits end trying to find out why every time he saw Joey she was near tears. Joey and Pacey were always looking grim around each other.
"So I guess it's time to take the test huh?" Pacey asked. They were alone in Joey's house. Joey nodded her head and picked up the test on the bed.
"It can wait a few minutes. Right?" Joey said. Pacey knew that she was scared and knew that he was too. He held her close to him and kissed her. Joey kissed him back and he sat down on the bed. He pulled her with him and held her close while her head lay in the crook of his arm.
"Joey, I'll love you forever. Remember that, ok?" Pacey whispered to her. Joey looked up at him and closed her eyes as he kissed her sweetly. When he moved back she smiled and nodded her head.
"I love you too Pace. I love you too."
Joey got up and took the box. "It's time." She said. She looked at Pacey who got up to hug her and then she stepped back. She walked in the bathroom, and Pacey sat on the bed. Waiting for her return with the news that would probably change their life.
*************************
Pacey stared up at the ceiling for the 100th time since Joey locked herself in the bathroom. He was a nervous wreck and he didn't know what to do anymore. What if she was pregnant? Then they would have to explain everything and their lives would never be the same. But what if she wasn't pregnant? Then they would probably never have sex again cause she would be scared over this little ordeal. Pacey sighed. It was a lose/lose situation. Pacey heard the door open, and he sat up. Joey came out the bathroom and looked at him. From the look in her eyes, he knew. She was pregnant, with his child. Joey looked up at him and he looked into her eyes. The women he loved. And will always love.
"Pacey, what are we going to do?" Joey asked as he went over to her and held her close.
"We'll figure something out. We will get through this. I promise." Pacey said as he kissed her forehead and she laid her head in the crook of his shoulder. Tears washed over her and she held on him for support.
"What are we going to tell our friends and our family?" Joey said in between sobs.
'We'll think of something. Let's not worry about it now ok? They don't matter. The only ones that matter are you and I. Not Dawson, not our parents, none of them. We made this child together and we will remain together." Pacey said as he lifted up her head. Joey looked at him and gave him a small smile. He wiped the tears out of her eyes and held her closer to him.
"I love you so much Pacey." Joey said as she held onto him.
"I love you too Joe. I love you too."
