A Familiar Face
Chapter 11
Author's Note- Boy! Its been a long time! That last chapter was pretty awful.
Life seemed perfect. The night after romance and ecstasy seemed to be a dream to Joey. She always thought that the night after's were always uncomfortable but with Pacey it was different.
"Hey." Pacey said weeping her loose hair off her forehead.
"Hi."
"You look beautiful right now." He said sweetly.
"Aren't you supposed to say that?" Joey grinned shifting in bed a little to be closer to Pacey.
"But in your case it's true." He said leaning in to kiss her.
"I love you Pace." She said suddenly after the tender kiss. This took Pacey by surprise.
"Jo..."
"I know I shouldn't of said that but I felt it better if I did." Joey said leaning in for another of his warm, delicious kisses.
"Umm." Pacey moaned.
"You like?" She grinned.
"Definitely."
"Good."

"Mommy! You're home! I missed you!" Laura ran up and hugged Joey.
"I missed you too sweetheart!"
"I forgot your birthday so I got you a present. Is there a word for that?" Laura asked.
"Belated."
"Ok. Then I got you a belated birthday gift!" Laura was so excited that she made Joey open her present right away.
"I wonder what is it?" Joey questioned tearing away the wrapping paper.
"It's good!" Laura squealed.
"I love it sweetheart. It's the best present I ever got." Joey picked up the homemade snow globe with the pictures of Laura, Joey, and Pacey at Laura's birthday party in it. In the snow globe was a family playing house. Each figure was either Joey, Pacey, or Laura.
"You really like it?" Laura asked happily.
"I love it. It's beautiful. How did you make it?" Joey asked overjoyed.
"I made it by ......" Laura continued her story as Pacey sat unseen in the background watching his daughter and Joey.
