Months had passed since that dreadful night. The night Jack had recieved the phone call. His father was dead, due to a car accident in the rain. The call he made to Andie was the hardest of his life. The funeral was hard too. But, he did get half of his father's inheritance. He would have given it up, just to have his dad back. His family had been getting together really well the last couple of years. In fact, Doug and his dad had become really close, and Amy had adored him. He had slowly gotten over it. It was great to see Andie. But now, Joey was nine months pregnant. Andie was one month pregnant with her new husband, back in California. Dawson had married Gretchen, and they had a 2 month old baby. He was still a big director back in L.A. Jack and Doug, they had Amy. Everyone was happy.
Doug sat in the living room, sitting on the couch, just staring at the blank T.V. screen. He couldn't sleep. That's when he got the phone call. "Dougie? Is that you?"
"Yea Pace, what's wrong. Why are you calling so late?"
"Jo's water broke and my car broke down. I need you to come get us and take us to the hospital."
"Of course of course. I'll be over in five minutes." He ran upstairs and woke up Jack. "Jack, Jack. Jo's water broke. I need to take them to the hospital. You stay here with Amy." Jack nodded and laid his head back down. Then he shot back up, as if just realizing what Doug had said.
"Okay, call me if anything happens. We'll come in the morning." Doug ran downstairs. He grabbed his keys and ran out the door.

Doug sat in the waiting room, drinking a now cold cup of coffee. He checked his watch. It was three in the morning. He got up and threw his coffee away. Joey had gone into labor only 10 minutes ago. He walked over to a deserted couch and laid down. Before he could close his eyes, Pacey burst into the waiting room, a huge smile across his face. There were bags under his eyes, but he was still glowing. "I'm a father... again." Doug got up and ran over to him. They hugged.
"So... what is it? A boy? A girl?"
"It's both! Twins, Dougie twins! Want to see them?" Pacey grabbed Doug's arm and led him to the place where they could view the babies. They were in the middle row, right next to each other.
"Oh Pacey, they're beautiful." He whipped out his cell phone and dialed home. "Hello? Jack? Yea.... No, twins! I don't know, I haven't asked." Doug looked at Pacey. " What are their names?"
"Jack and Jennifer."

Doug was driving home on that warm October night. Amy was now five and in preschool. Jack was working as a full time teacher at Capeside high, which included summer school classes. Doug only thought to himself that he was glad the day was over. He saw a flickering light inside his home. It looked like candles. When he opend the door, Jack's hands immediatly covered his eyes. "Don't look, it's a surprise." Jack blindfolded him and took his keys and set them down. "Okay, take the blindfold off." Expecting to come face to face with a naked Jack, he untied it and yanked it off. He found himself face to face with no one. He looked down and saw Jack on one knee. He opened a small box, which held a golden band. "Douglas Witter, will you marry me?" He looked nervous.
Doug's smile widened. "Yes. Yes I will." He slipped the band on Doug's finger, and they kissed.
