A/N: Sorry I haven't done any of these "notes" before. I decided to bring Jen back because she was always one of my favorite characters. I wanted her to play a big role in my story. And, I know I am not the only one that was upset when she died. I might also be bringing back other characters.

In the reviews, everyone wants to be DJ story. I love the DJ combo, but like in the summary, a lot of new/old relationships are starting or coming back. Just keep reading!

Chapter 3: Never Gone

(Scene: Jack/Doug/Jen's house.)

"C'mon, Amy, you have to eat!"

Jen Lindley tried to feed her baby, but she wouldn't open her mouth.

"Here comes the train. Choo, choo!" Jen said anxiously. But it didn't work. Finally Jen gave up.

"Ok, Amy, lets see what daddy is up to"

Jen picked up Amy out of the high chair and brought her into the living room. Jack was sitting on the couch watching TV. Jen paused in the doorway and couldn't help but smile. She remembered when she was in New York and didn't have any friends. But after moving to Capeside, she met her best friend, Jack McPhee. She couldn't help but fight back a tear of thinking of how much he and Doug helped her after Amy's father abandoned her.

"Hey stranger," Jen said as she sat across from Jack on the floor. Amy crawled around in automatically found a toy to amuse herself with.

Jack turned to Jen. "Did she eat?" he asked.

"A little. At least she didn't spit any out like last night. That was such a mess!"

Jack rolled his eyes and chuckled.

"What?" she asked.

"Its just weird seeing you as a mother. I mean, I always thought you would be a good mother, but know…"

Jen picked up a pillow off the floor and threw it at him.

"Hey!" he said.

Jack threw the pillow back at Jen. She laughed a jumped on the couch and they started a pillow fight. They were interrupted by a man clearing their throat. They stopped to see Doug standing in the hallway watching them. They didn't notice it was 8 at night already, the usual time Doug got home.

Jack followed Doug into the kitchen and sat down on a stool near their island table. Doug opened the fridge and pulled out the orange juice, plopping the carton on the table. He closed the fridge and turned to Jack.

"So how was your day?" Jack asked.

Doug didn't answer. He opened orange juice carton, and drank straight from it. He stopped, put it down again, and put the lid on.

"Fine," he said.

Jen entered the room. She got a glare from Doug. It read that he wanted to just talk to Jack. She got the hint, and left.

Doug sat down at the stool next to Jack.

"Work was good. Not a lot of action today. Well, unless you count the rookie flushing my bosses badge down the toilet." Doug paused, firm smile on his face. Then, he burst out laughing.

At first, Jack was confused. He had rarely seen Doug express any kind of emotion. But Jack put that behind him and laughed along with him.

Doug stood up and Jack gave him a hug. It was moments like these he was thankful for Doug.

Pushing the stools back in, Jack said, "So did you know today was Joey's birthday?"

Doug looked at Jack. "My brother's girlfriend?" he responded.

"Yeah. I called and left a message on her cell. I guess Pacey and her are going out to dinner tonight."

"Well, I am glad they are having fun. So how is my brother these days?" Doug asked.

"Good," Jack responded. "I spoke to him on the phone tonight. After they go out to dinner, I guess they are coming over here. Nothing big. Just cake and presents for Joey."

"Why didn't you tell me? I didn't get her anything thing."

"Don't worry. Jen and I went shopping after he called. I picked her up something from us."

Doug gave a weak half smile. "Ok, because the last thing I want to do is insult my brother."

"And that's not even the best part," Jack added. "Guess whose coming tomorrow."

"Who?" Doug asked.

"Dawson."

Doug looked surprised. "I betcha Pacey will love that. Why is he coming now?"

"I guess to visit us all. He is coming for a couple of weeks."

"Ok" Doug said.

Doug started to walk upstairs. Jack followed. Once upstairs, they turned into there room. Doug sat on the bed, and laid down. He pretended to snore. Jack laughed and jumped on the bed. Doug sat up and gave Jack a look. Jack decided to back off. They were interrupted this time by Jen knocking on the door.

"Glad to see the two lovebirds having fun again, but I think someone is here," she said.

"Whose here?" Doug asked.

"I dunno," she answered. "Some woman in a SUV."

Jack and Doug stared at each other. The two of them went downstairs. Jen put Amy to bed in her crib, and went downstairs, too.

Jack opened the front door to see a tall blonde wearing sunglasses opening the trunk door of a green SUV.

"Can I help you?" Doug asked, stepping outside on the porch.

She pushed her sunglasses onto the top of her head. She didn't say anything. Suddenly, a shadow emerged from the other side of the vehicle. It was Dawson.

"Hey man!" Jack said, running out to meet him. Dawson and Jack hugged as another car pulled into the driveway. The doors opened and out came Joey and Pacey. They saw Dawson.

"Hey," Pacey said to Dawson as he and Joey walked over to everyone. "Early, aren't we?"

Dawson looked at Joey then Pacey. "I couldn't miss my best friend's birthday."

Joey looked stunned. "Glad you're here!" She finally said.

Doug and Jen sat down on the porch swing, while Jack, Dawson, Pacey, and Joey.

"Well," Dawson said. "I guess now is a good time to tell you why I am here."

He walked over to the blonde, putting his arm around her.

"This is my girlfriend, Lucy. We are engaged. And…we decided to get married here!"

There was silence. Everyone looked around at each other.

Finally Joey broke the silence, fainting into Pacey's arms.
