Thanks for all my kind reviewers…Sorry you had to wait so long.
Pacey takes Joey to the dance floor; she seems calmer now she's in his arms.
"Wanna talk about it?"
"Not really…I really miss this…"
"The drama? Because I pass …"
"No, Pace, this, dancing with you…"
"Me too…the only problem is that I can't hold you close enough."
"Yeah…that sucks…" Suddenly she stops. "This is not happening; tell me this is not happening…"
"Jo? What are you talking about?" He gets scared by her sudden stop.
"My water broke."
"What?" Pacey asks surprised.
Joey rolls her eyes, feeling her back aching more than ever.
"Pace, labor, I'm in labor… "
He looks at her still confused.
"But…you're not supposed to…"
"Pacey Witter…tell this to these babies cause they really want to get out now…"
He scratches his head, not knowing where to start, looking at her.
"Pace, labor here, remember, now move your butt and get me to the hospital" She snaps him out of his trance.
They leave the party, both not talking, knowing it was too soon for the babies to arrive.
Dawson's dock
Dawson is still there, staring at the water. How could Jen do that to him? He had a daughter…that wonderful little girl was his. He startles when someone approaches him. It's Andie.
"This' been a hell of a weekend, huh?" She asks.
He smiles. Typical Andie, always trying to cheer up people.
"I don't think I get more surprises."
"Well, this weekend is almost sending me back to therapy…or maybe I could write a book about it…"
"At least I have lots of inspiration to work in my show…I have enough drama in my mind right now to fill the next four or five seasons…"
They both chuckle.
"So, what's next, Dawson? After seeing your soul mate married to your best friend and you find out you have a daughter you didn't have any idea about, there isn't much left."
"Does it bother you? Them married?"
"No, Dawson, Pacey has been my past for a while now…but it shocked me that Amy is your daughter."
"Not more than me…And Jen doesn't even wanna talk to me about it"
Andie opens her mouth to answer, but she's interrupted by Jack who comes to them running.
"Guys, Joey is labor, Pacey just took her to the hospital…"
Andie and Dawson look at each other and start laughing.
"I guess we have more working material for you, Mr. Hollywood…"
At the hospital
Pacey is pacing at the corridor, waiting for the doctor who is taking care of Joey.
"Mr. Witter?"
"It's me...Is my wife ok? The babies?" He asks worriedly.
"Mr. Witter, I'm Dr. Carter. I already talked to your wife's doctor in NY. Joey is fine, but..."
"But?" Now he is definitely worried by the way the doctor is talking.
"One of the babies' heart beat is below the normal rates… In these cases, we perform a cesarean operation to take the baby out, so we can take care of it. We're taking your wife to OR now."
"Can I see her first?" He barely can breathe.
"It has to be very quick, we can't wait much more."
He goes to her room. She's on the bed, tears in her eyes.
"Jo, the doctor talked to me…"
"Pace, I'm so scared…It's my fault, I should've..."
"Josephine Witter, this is not you fault, ok? Things happen, you know that…Dr. Evans already told us the babies could be born before term…Everything is gonna be fine." He tries to give her the faith he doesn't have right now.
The hospital staff arrives to take her to the OR. He places a chaste kiss on her forehead, trying to ignore the lump in his throat, while he sees her going to face this all alone.
