Summary: What if Joey was pregnant in Late

Rating: PG-13 just to be safe Disclaimer: If I owned it, Pacey and Joey would have stayed together, not broken up in season 4 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* In the last chapter Pacey and Joey tell each other about what has been going on Pacey is very happy that he might be a father

At the beach house Tension is present the moment you walk in the house, a nervous Pacey sits outside the bathroom. He is talking to Joey through the door. "Hey Jo, are you okay, is the test done yet?" Pacey asks anxiously, he really wanted to be with Joey when she sees the result but he does not say this. He is afraid that she doesn't want him there.

"No Pace, the test isn't done, I still haven't taken it." It is obvious that Joey is crying although she is trying to hide it. She really needs Pacey to be with her, right next to her but she was worried that he didn't want to be. She wasn't offended or anything, she realized how great he was being about all of this and figured maybe he wanted some space.

"Jo what's the matter, why are you crying? Is something wrong?" Pacey walks into the bathroom, not really caring anymore if she doesn't want him there.

"Nothing, its just" Joey is trying to compose herself but she soon gives up and breaks down, sobbing. Pacey wraps her up in a hug. "Its just, Pace I really need you know, especially right know while I take the test. I'm really scared and you always know how to comfort me."

"Oh Jo, why didn't you tell me this. I didn't come in because I thought that you didn't want me in there. Why didn't you tell me this?" Pacey replies growing more and more confused by Joey's sudden laughter. "What, what's so funny?"

"I thought that maybe you didn't want to see me take the test, maybe you needed some space." Joey says this in between fits of laughter, which has now caught on to Pacey.

"Potter, we really need to work on this communication thing." a relieved Pacey whispers with a smile on his face. "Now come on, lets' take this test."

5 minutes later Ding "That was the timer Jo" Pacey says to Joey, who is sitting on Pacey's lap while they wait. "I know Pace, I might be pregnant but I'm not stupid. I just don't know if I want to check yet." Joey replies while anxiously chewing on her bottom lip.

"Well were gonna have to check it sooner or later, we might as well now." Pacey says as he lifts Joey of his lap and goes to get the tests, which is on the counter. He looks at it but despite her hardest attempts, Joey is unable to guess what the test says, even though she has a pretty good feeling of what it says, she wishes that Pacey would give some hint. "Damn, figures I have to get the boyfriend with the best poker face on the Cape." Joey curses to herself.

By now Pacey is back at the table standing in front of Joey with the test in his left hand. "What does it say Pacey? Please don't make me wait any longer." Joey pleads, using her best puppy face.

Pacey leans down and kisses Joey. Without returning to standing, Pacey whispers "What do you think of Carter if it's a boy?" Pacey has a look of pure joy on his face as he says this.

Joey is more thrilled than she thought she could ever be. "Am I pregnant Pace?"

"Yeah, yes you are, I'm gonna be a father Jo!" Pacey is almost shouting these words.

"So you definitely want to keep the baby?" Joey asks, just to make sure that they are both on the same page.

"Are you kidding me, of course I do, don't you. This baby is going to be a physical symbol of how much we love each other." Pacey seems to be getting worried that Joey doesn't want the baby.

"I want the baby to. I always thought that any teen that got pregnant was going to lead a terrible life, but know I realize that's not true. Getting pregnant might be considered a mistake, but if that's the case, I hope all my mistakes that I make are as smart as this one. I know that sounds kind of odd and I don't really know if it came out right, but" Joey is about to keep rambling on but Pacey cuts her off.

"Jo, I understand exactly what you are saying because I feel the same way. I love you so much I can't even put it into words." Pacey whispers into Joey's ear. "Now, do you want to go back to the B&B or do you want to stay here for the night."

"Are you kidding me? After all that we have been through in the past couple of days, I want nothing more than to fall asleep in your arms." Joey says, interrupted often by yawns.

"Well it seems like you're about to fall asleep now. Come on. Lets go to bed."

With that Joey and Pacey walk off to the bedroom. They don't go right to sleep, they stay up for a while talking about nothing, falling more and more in love with each passing minute.
