Chapter 18
A Visit From Mom
Everything is the same as before
AN: Thank you to everyone that reviewed, you are amazing. Like I said before I think that I'm going to end the story by Chapter 25. @5 is going to either be an epilogue or the actual end. But I am definitely going to do something about what happens in the future. Oh and count on the delivery being two chapters. This is sort of a filler chapter, I think that story will be finished by December. **tear** I will have to only do about 1 update a week because of school, but I am going to be better at updating.I have an idea for a Gilmore Girls story, if anyone wants to hear it email me. The short summary is it is a R/J where Rory and Jess go on a student exchange trip (or somehow end up in Italy together). Oh, hey by the way I forgot that Pacey's mom talked to them outside after they told his parents so you might want to just reread that chapter, it is chapter 6. Well here is the story.
The knock at the door sent dread through their minds, or at least Pacey's. "This had better not be a repeat of our last gathering. I swear to god I won't allow her to do that."
As Pacey was occupied with his thoughts Joey had begun to open the door. "Hi Mrs. Witter. Would you like to come in?"
"Oh Joey, call me Mom, you're part of the family now. Thank you for letting me come over to see your new apartment. Hello Pacey, what's the matter, you don't seem all that happy to see me?"
"Hi mom, of course I'm happy to see you. You just came over so suddenly. We just moved in yesterday." Pacey says, a hint of resentment does not go unnoticed by the two women.
Joey takes Pacey's hand as they all walk to the living room. "Sorry if it's a little messy. We have been working to get everything as organized as we could, but it was impossible to get everything done."
"Oh that's all right. I know that it must be difficult to move into apartment. Especially for you Joey, it must be hard to unpack and move boxes, how many months are you?" Mrs. Witter says, it is not mean or rude, just understanding.
"About six months along."
"Well you look as beautiful as ever and I'm sure that my son is taking wonderful care of you, he always was good at that. That boy would never hurt a fly, unless of course that fly hurt someone he loved." As she is saying this Mrs. Witter she looks over at her son, hoping that cold looks he has been giving her since she got there are gone. She is disappointed to find that he still seems very unhappy at her, but she is also relieved to see that he seems to be warming up to her.
Meanwhile over on the recliner that they received from the Leery's Pacey sits with Joey on his lap. She would have sat on the couch, but she knew that Pacey would need her near her and he went to sit on the recliner first. She was sure that this was prompted by Mrs. Witter sitting on the couch first. She knew that Pacey was really uncomfortable with the situation but his mom had been warm and friendly since her arrival and it seemed as if Pacey was beginning to warm up to her. She gave his hand a reassuring squeeze, letting him know that she was there for him.
"How have you been Pacey? I haven't talked to you in so long." Mrs. Witter makes another attempt to break the ice.
"I've been fine. You know, it was all up to you to stay in touch. You knew that I wasn't going to call you and if I had, wouldn't Dad have made you hang up?" Pacey has regained all the resentment he had when his mother arrived. "How could she even have the nerve to say something like that?" He thinks inwardly.
"Pacey I'm sorry. You know your father, he is so stubborn, he did not want me to call you and to be honest I didn't think that I should until recently. Now before you yell, I didn't think I should call you, not because I was upset at you and your choices, but rather I was upset and ashamed by the way that I acted. I should have defended you in there, but it's hard. You have to understand that. Pacey I love you and so does your father, and although he says he is disappointed right now I know that he just needs time. He will come around eventually, until then I hope that you can forgive me." Mrs. Witter says.
Pacey is silent for a moment. "Mom, I am still really upset at the way that you acted, but you're right, Dad ios stubborn and nasty. I know that from living with him and I know that it is hard to stand up to him, but sometimes you have to. I get that you are making an effort. Of course I forgive you, but I don't speak for Joey and I think that she should get an apology as well."
"Pacey, that's really not necessary. It's all right Mrs. Witter." Joey begins apologetically.
"No Joey, my son is right. Both my husband andI were rude to you. I was shocked at the time, no mother wants to hear that her son got his girlfriend pregnant. I should have defended you two in front of my husband rather than acting like a coward and talking to you in private. However I do not take back anything I said to you, it all came from the heart and I meant it. You have taken upon this responsibility like adults."
Joey gets up from her seat and goes to hug Mrs. Witter, a difficult thing to do with her protruding stomach. "Thanks mom."
Mrs. Witter looks to Pacey, not expecting him to do anything but hoping that he will at the same time. Pacey surprises everyone when he gets up to hug his mom as well.
"Mom, would you like to see the wedding pictures, since you weren't there?" Pacey asks in an attempt to show his forgiveness.
"That would be wonderful." Mrs. Witter replies, touched at the gesture.
Joey got out the scrapbook that held all their wedding memories and she and Pacey spent the next hour and a half showing their pictures and reliving their memories with Mrs. Witter.
