~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the last chapter Joey comes home from spending the night at Pacey's to find her father on the porch.
"Dad, what are you doing here?" Joey is shocked and stunned, her father is the last person she expected to see on her porch.
"Joey how are you, it's so good to see you. Why don't we go inside so we can talk to your sister." With that Mr. Potter walks in the door following Joey.
In the living room Bessie, Joey, and their father are sitting down, about to talk. "Well I bet you two are wondering what I am doing here?" Mr. Potter senses that his daughters are very surprised to see him.
"Yeah, you could say that." Bessie is being calm but she is having a hard time remaining this way.
"Well I worked out a deal with the police and they let me off early. I get to come home if you will let me and I promise this time I won't disappoint you two." Mr. Potter is near tears as he says this.
"Dad we love you and you could never disappoint us." Joey starts to say and is cut of by Bessie who has her own something to add "Joey's right and of course you can stay with us. You're family and you are always welcome."
Just then Alexander came into the room, his hands full of paint, as well as the rest of his body. "Oh Alexander, what did you get yourself into?" Bessie walks her son into the bathroom and begins to clean him up.
Joey and her father are alone in the room. "This is the perfect time to tell him." She thinks to herself. "Um Dad there is something that I have to tell you, and it's kind of important and hard for me to say so if you could just not say anything until I'm done that would be great. Well I don't know if you know this But I am dating Pacey Witter, almost a year now. We are really in love and we kind of did something that showed our love, if you know what I am trying to say. Now I'm pregnant." Joey finished and closed her eyes, waiting for his reaction.
"Joey that's wonderful! I am so happy, I'm going to be a grandfather." Mr. Potter has a huge smile on his face. "How far along are you?"
"Three months and why aren't you angry?"
"I'm not angry because while it may not have been the best thing that could happen, it did and there is no turning back. However this is not the worst thing that cold happen either. I'm also not angry because I know how much you love Pacey, I could see it from the time you came to see me in prison and he helped you get in. He is a great man and he will make a great father." With that Mr. Potter got up and gave Joey a hug.
Joey gets up and goes to walk out the door. "There's one last person I have to go and tell."
Mr. Potter gives Joey a knowing look as she walks out the door and gets into the truck.
At the cemetery Joey is walking down the rows of graves, with a bouquet of flowers in her hand. Finally she gets to her mothers grave, Lillian Josephine Potter. Kneeling down she begins to speak out loud, "Hey Mom its me Joey, I know that I haven't come to talk to you, not since the last time that Dad was sent to prison, but I'm here know. I really miss you mom, I miss you so bad it hurts some times. I wish that you were here, especially now when I need you the most. You know I started dating Pacey, I know that you're probably listening to this and saying I told you so, well you were right, he and I were meant for each other. I discovered this last year and we have been going out pretty much ever since. He is so wonderful and on the senior ski trip we had sex. Well now I'm pregnant. I don't know if you're happy for me or if you are ashamed of me, but I really hope that you are proud of the woman that I have become. So if you could please give me a sign to let me know if you are. Oh yeah and Dad is back, he got paroled again, he came home today and I told him the news, he is really happy for me. Pacey proposed to me and I said yes, I'm getting married and I got accepted to an Ivy League school on a full scholarship as long as I delay my admission a year. I have to go now but I promise that I will come back and visit more often, I promise. And I will bring my child here to, so he or she can know their grandma and what a wonderful woman she was. Mom you were so strong, I have no idea how you did it all, please give me some of that strength. I love you Mom, so much." Joey was in tears as she said a few prayers and placed the flowers down.
She got in the truck and drove home. When she got there Pacey was sitting at the kitchen table waiting for her. She had something in her hands, it was a box.
"Jo, Dad and I were clearing some things out of the attic today and we came across this box. It was from Mom and it has your name on it. Here you go." Bessie hands the box to her. Joey is walking to her room to open the box when Bessie voice interrupts her. "You know I have gone through that attic a hundred times and never, ever come across this box I'm sure of it, it was like it suddenly appeared, almost like Mom swooped down from heaven and put it there."
Joey gets into her room and opens the box. It contains old memories from important events in her mother's life, a wedding invitation, sonogram pictures of Joey and Bessie, as well as many other things. It also has a letter.
My Dearest Joey, When you open this letter I will be gone and you will most like be reaching some important moment in your life, a life altering moment that will define you as a woman of courage and strength. You may seem scared right now but know that I will always support you even when I am not here. I love you Joey and no matter what you do with your life I will always be proud of you. You are my little angel Joey, don't ever forget that. I would like you to have this necklace, I hope that it will help you as it helped me, to stay strong when times got rough.
With all my love Mom
Joey was sobbing as Bessie entered the room to see what was wrong. She read the letter and helped Joey put on the silver angel necklace that always adorned her mothers neck. Together they cried and talked about their mother. Joey knew she had gotten her symbol.
