Disclaimer: No, I don't own anything…just took them borrowed, OK?
Note: The first chapter had some lines transcript from the original episode to set things…The main idea remains: the gang meets again after 5 years.

Back at B&B
Bessie enters Joey's room; she's lying there, staring the ceiling, looking tired.
"Hey, sleepyhead, how are you feeling?"
"Much better, Bess...I really needed to sleep...How are things going?"
"Things are really fine over here, everybody misses you, dear....but I should be asking you how your things are going..."
"Me? Well, besides I look like a cow and feel like I have a watermelon inside me...I'm doing pretty fine..."Joey sits on bed and sighs.
"Joey...it's your baby you're talking about, do you realize that?"
"Babies, Bess...I'm having twins...and they already know that mommy is just bored and tired and want to see them soon..." She caresses her tummy, smiling.
"Twins? My god, that's why you're so big...Are you guys happy?"
"More than I could ever be...But I'm worried, Bess, how people will take this"
"By people you mean Dawson..."
"Yes, I know I haven't spoken to him for more than a year, but I know he's going to freak out about this..."
"Well, I guess you'll see what happens soon..."
"Yes...but this is keeping me worried and I shouldn't be like that..."
"Yes, Joey, you shouldn't...are you going to the Ice house? Jack called earlier and asked you to go there, Andie is in town too, but you were sleeping..."
"Let's hit the road, sister, and let them all shocked with pregnant Joey Potter...can you drive me?"
"Sure, little sister"
Back to Ice House
Dawson never felt so confused in his whole life...Those were supposed to be his best friends ever, but he was feeling like he didn't knew them anymore...Andie engaged, Pacey married and Jen a mother...Joey, he didn't even know where she was...What happened to all of them?
Pacey is still laughing...things were easier than he thought...Now they're all on a table, having beer...
"So, Pacey, you still haven't answered my question..."
"Always the most curious, Andie...when did you come back?"
"Last week...and I still want an answer..."
"Last year...and that's your answer"
"And where is the misses?"
"She's resting; the trip from NY was a little too much for her...."
Andie is happy to be around her friends after so long...but she still misses one of them...
"Does anyone know where Joey is? I haven't heard from her since I left to Italy...."
Dawson is feeling really uncomfortable now...he's wondering where Joey is too, last time he talked to her, she was in London, about to come back to US, but then they lost touch. Jen smiles, looks to Pacey and Jack and answers Andie's question.
"She's in NY, she's a book editor over there, we always go out for coffee and things like that..."
"So, is she coming this weekend too?" Dawson asks, feeling hurt that she was so near and wouldn't even bother to phone him...
"I'm already here, Dawson..."
Everybody turns to look to a very pregnant Joey, with one of her lopsided smiles...Dawson and Andie dropping their mouths...
"God, Joey, you are....pregnant...but how?"
"Well, Andie, I think you learnt that in your Biology classes didn't you?"
Dawson is still not talking...How could that be? His Joey, pregnant? But who was the father? His thoughts were interrupted by Pacey's words...
"Hey, weren't you supposed to be resting?" He was already making her sit down...
"And miss all the fun? Nah...And don't worry; Bess drove me over here, Ok? And besides that, you really don't think they would let me rest for more than an hour, do you? They are really your children..."
They are lost in their own world now, not really worrying if there's anyone shocked around them...
"Wait, wait...I'm trying to figure this out...Joey, you married Pacey? And how nobody knows about it?" Andie can't be more confused about that... Pacey and Joey burst in laughter...
"It's a long, long story, and yes, I married Pacey about a year ago, and Jack and Jen here know we're married..."
"And now we're having twins..." Pacey adds proudly.
"Right...his contribution to modern civilization. Can I have something to eat?"
"Joey, darling, are you hungry again?" he mocks
"Ha, ha, ha, Pacey, you can't make fun about the mother of your children...unless you want to sleep on the couch tonight..."
"And who would bring your water at 3 am?"
"Good point. I guess I will let you joke about me just a little bit..."
"That's my girl..."He leans in and kisses her.
Dawson is looking, but he still doesn't believe that...was that some kind of nightmare?
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Dawson, we lost touch, and things happened so quickly...when we realized, we were married, when we got back form our honeymoon I found out that I was pregnant, and then ..I don't know. Can we just talk about that later?" Joey asks, and the look Pacey gives Dawson is enough for him to agree.
"So how about we tell what happened in our lives the last years?" Andie tries to break all the tension that came along Joey's show up. "Dawson you start."
Dawson is still hurt by the idea that he didn't even know that Joey was happily married and pregnant...and the simple sight of her hands being hold by Pacey's was making him sick...
