Chapter 24

Settling In

Okay so I actually updated. I'm going to fast forward to like August when Pacey and Joey would be getting ready to go to school. Lots of Pacey and Joey mush. Jen and Jack are already in Boston, in their second year of college. Joey, Pacey, and Sam are moving into their new apartment. Just so everyone knows this is my plan for the next few chapters: (it might change)

Chapter 25- Sam's birthday

Chapter 26- 4 yrs Later graduation from college with a big surprise

Chapter 27- Epilogue many years later

Then its done tear

"Okay so do we have everything we need? Cuz I do not want to have to turn around halfway there." Pacey said with a smile on his face, knowing that Joey typically forgot at least one thing whenever they went somewhere.

"Yes Pacey we have everything. We cleaned the apartment, made checklists, and packed the car last night. All our large furniture we moved up last week while Bessie watched Sam. I did not forget anything." Joey said. "Now lets get Sam in her car seat and get going."

It was now the beginning of August. Joey and Pacey were moving up to Boston that week. College started in two weeks. Joey was going to Worthington University and Pacey, who had managed to improve his grades was going to Boston Bay College. They all go into the car and headed out. They had said their goodbyes that morning.

The drive took about three hours. They had to make more stops than they usually would because of the baby, but neither of them minded. "So explain to me again how it is going to be possible for us to go to college, work, and raise a baby." Pacey asked.

"Well part of the scholarship allows me to receive free daycare at a center just off the campus. Since you trained a lot at Marco's your shifts at the restaurant won't be so bad, mostly afternoons and early evenings. You signed up for all morning classes. I have mornings off and just afternoon classes and some evening ones. I also was accepted to work part time at the daycare center until I can find a job in a writing field." Joey told her husband for what seemed to be the hundredth time. "And if we ever really need someone to watch Sam, Grams, Jen, and Jack have told us numerous times that they will watch her."

"We are really lucky. If it weren't for our friends I don't think that we could have ever did all this." Pacey said smiling.

"We are especially lucky that Grams offered to watch Sam to morrow night so that we could et settled in without having to worry about her." Joey said.

"Oh settled in, is that what they're calling it these days." Pacey said with a smirk as the couple pulled up to their apartment building. The two took turns bringing the boxes up to their apartment on the second floor and watching Sam. They had come up the week before with Doug and Jack to get al their larger items set up. The rooms were painted, Sam's room was again yellow with nursery rhyme characters on the wall. Of course the beautiful True Love canvas Joey had painted was also hanging. Basically all they had to do was get things such as their clothes, dishes, etc. packed away. They finished most f this and ten went to bed. They kept Sam's crib in their room for that night knowing that they would miss her the following night while she was at Grams.

THE NEXT DAY

"Thanks so much again for helping us out Grams." Pacey said as he gave Sam one last kiss. "It really means a lot to Joey and me."

"I'm sure it does, I know how hard it is to get some alone time when you have aan infant. You and Joey deserve this, cause lord knows once you start school and work you won't have time or energy for anything." Grams said in a knowing tone. "Now get on home to your wife, I can see that that is where you want to be." With that she shooed Pacey out the door.

"Joey I'm home. How is that pasta coming?" Pacey called out as he entered their apartment.

"It's fine, I did just what you said. I stayed far, far away from it." Joey replied as she entered the kitchen.

Pacey put the finishing touches on the dinner and they sat down to eat. Joey was wearing a short denim skirt that buttoned down the front and semi revealing tank top. "You look really beautiful Jo." Pacey said admiringly.

"Thank you." was her reply.

Throughout dinner their comments became increasingly suggestive. Joey foot also crept higher and higher up Pacey's leg until she reached her destination. She could feel him through his pants.

"Jo, we are never gonna make it through dinner if you don't stop that." Pacey barely managed to get out.

Joey didn't listen but merely kept up with her massage. "If this is bugging you what I'm gonna tell you next might kill you. I'm not wearing any underwear" Joey said seductively and finished the last bite of her pasta, "and now I'm not wearing a skirt."

Joey got up and began to walk to the bedroom, she was stopped however by her husband sweeping her off her feet and laying her down on the couch. Together they proceeded to "settle in" to their new apartment, several times in fact.

I hope that everyone liked that chapter. Please Read and Review. It really means a lot.
