Summary: What if Joey was pregnant in "Late"
This is the first time that I have ever posted a fanfiction so please let me know what you think. Now on to the story ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The story starts right when Pacey calls Joey from his trip. Joey hasn't taken the pregnancy test yet because she is waiting for Pacey to come back. At the Potter B&B the phone rings. A very upset looking Joey walks over to it and answers it "Hello" answers Joey
"Hey whats up? Gretchen said you wanted to talk to me" Pacey answers from a pay phone.
Although she still seems to be upset, her face lights up when she hears his voice. "I missed you, when are you coming back? How's the fishing going?" she replies, avoiding the subject of why she has been trying to talk to him all weekend. This is quite obvious to Pacey but he doesn't say anything.
"Yeah, uh listen about that fishing trip, um **. . . long, awkward pause.. ** when I get home we really need to talk. Dougie tells me that were gonna be leaving tomorrow morning so can we meet at the docks around eight-ish?" He hopes that this answer will be good enough, he really wants to tell her the truth, but not over the phone.
"That's fine. I have something I need to talk to you about too, but I um wanted to tell you in person."
"Okay Jo, well I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow" He's about to hang up but stops just in time to say one last thing. "Oh and Jo, I really missed you this weekend."
Joey smiles" I did to Pace, you can't imagine how much. Love you"
"Love you to, Jo" With that Pacey hangs up the phone a little bit happier than he was when he called. "What is it about that girl that makes my day brighter?" he thought to himself.
On the other end Joey hangs up, looking more at ease. "Even if I am pregnant, Pacey is a great guy, he's not going to run away and he will support any decision I make"
THE NEXT DAY Pacey is in the car with Doug, on their way back from camping.
"Hey, little Bro what did Joey want to talk to you about? When Gretchen told me about it last night she made it seem like it was pretty important. She's not breaking up with you is she?" Doug asks in his typical tone.
"Doug would you just shut the hell up and leave me alone. Just because you don't have a girlfriend that doesn't mean that no one else can have one." Pacey replies angrily. The possibility that Joey was breaking up with him had haunted him all night. After he got off the phone he was happy, but then he got to thinking about what Joey had said. It was one of the downsides of being in the middle of nowhere with his closet case brother, he had a lot of time to think, and that's what he did. Pacey began to analyze every thing that Joey had said, most importantly the part where she told him she wanted to tell him something in person. It wouldn't be like Joey to break up with him over the phone, and if Gretchen had told her where he actually was this weekend, she would most definitely be breaking up with him.
"Pacey, Pace, PACEY!!!!!" Doug had realized that what he said to his brother had hurt him and was trying to get him to talk. Pacey, however, was deep in thought and didn't realize.
"What now Doug, I'm really not in the mood for another lecture."
"Listen Pace, I didn't mean what I said, you know, about Joey breaking up with you." Doug seems sincere when he says this.
"Yeah whatever, when does the insult come. Don't tell me there's no insult, I know you to well Dougie."
"Listen Pace, you have been acting funny all weekend. Now normally I wouldn't care about your little problems, but I really feel like we bonded this weekend and despite what you might think, I really do care about you." Doug replies sincerely. Pacey realizes that his brother wants to help him and he begins o tell him all his worries that have been plaguing him since the previous night.
At the Potter B&B "Hey Jo, not to pry, but I just want to let you know that I know that you didn't take the test yet. You can't run from this." Bessie says to Joey as she enters the kitchen around 7:00 that morning. (A/Nforgot to say that its Sunday, the day Pacey is coming home) Joey had left the test on her dresser and Bessie saw it the night before.
"I know Bess and I'm not running. I just wanted to wait until Pacey got home to take it, you know, so he could be there for support. Now that I've had time to think about it I have a feeling that was a mistake." Joey replies. She thought all last night about that test and what it meant for her future. All the reassurance she had when she got off the phone with Pacey had vanished as quickly as it came.
"What do you mean Joey, did you tell Pacey about it last night on the phone?" Bessie was getting concerned, if Pacey acted like an ass and left Joey if she was pregnant she was gonna hurt him.
" I don't know Bess, what if Pacey doesn't want this baby, what if he leaves me. Plus I don't want to put anymore pressure on him. And if I am pregnant what if he chooses to stay but then can't take care of the baby. I mean he has a hard enough of a time taking care of himself. So no I didn't tell him on the phone, I thought I should do that in person so that he could be there with me when I took the test, but know I really don't have any idea what's the right thing to do. Am I crazy?"
"Oh Joey, honey, don't worry, your not crazy, I went through the same thing when I thought that I was pregnant. I wasn't sure how Bodie would react, we were going through a tough time in our relationship just like you and Pacey are. Don't worry about how Pacey will feel, he is great with kids. And maybe this baby, if you are pregnant, will be just what Pacey needs to turn his life around. Now why don't you go do something for the day, clear your mind." Bessie says, giving Joey some much needed advice.
"Thanks Bessie, I think that I'll go for a walk." Joey gives her sister a hug and walks out the door.
Back to Pacey and Doug "Listen Little Brother, Joey loves you, I can see it in the way that she looks at you. Its like you're the only person she can see, you look at her like that to. There is no way that she is breaking up with you. And if Gretchen told her about this trip I'm sure that even if she is mad at you, she's gonna want to help you in any way that she can." Doug has heard all of Pacey's fears and is trying to reassure him that Joey will not break up with him. This seems to have worked because Pacey is a little less tense.
"Thanks Doug" Pacey replies, genuinely touched at what his normally insulting brother said to him.
The rest of the ride is in silence and about an hour later they arrive home. Pacey decides to do his homework for a change while he waits for eight o'clock
