A Pacey Joey Tale: What if they never said Good-bye

Chapter 14

Oh

Joey sat down on the edge of the bathtub, she was staring down at the one thing

that could change, not just her life, but two others. If Joey was pregnant, that would be

amazing, and her life would never be the same, but if she was not, then everything would

go back to normal, and this would be just a little scare; one hell of a little scare. Breathing

heavily, Joey lifted up the stick, now, if there were two blue lines, Joey would be having

a child in nine months, if there were only one line, Joey could forget this whole mess.

Looking down at it, Joey saw two lines, they weren't bright, but they were there. A tear

silently rolled down Joey's cheek, as she could here Dawson outside the door. Shaking of

the shock, Joey wiped off her face and opened the door. She then smiled at Dawson and

said,

"That's a relief, I'm not pregnant." Joey did feel badly about lying to Dawson, but Pacey

should be the first one two know, and Joey had enough time to come up with the best

surprise. Dawson smiled,

"Better luck next time, and I should be off, if my services are no longer needed." Dawson

waved to Joey as he exited out her bedroom door. Walking from the bathroom to her bed,

Joey's mind started to wonder. Would everything change, she'd be a mother, Pacey a

father, were they both ready for that, was it all happening too fast? There was no need for

this foolish thinking, Pacey, her, and now their unborn child will begin a history, a

family.

Once Joey cleaned the house a bit, though it was already sparkling before she

started, she had to get out of the house. Picking up her car keys and jacket, Joey left the

house, wearing her bathing suit, and one of Pacey's tank-tops. She packed Pacey swim

shorts and extra towels. Climbing into the truck, Joey placed the bag beside her and

headed to the grocery store. Picking up sparkling apple cider, Joey walked toward

Pacey's restaurant.

Joey walked in unnoticed by her husband, but got a few stares from the young

men around the room. Joey took over a booth in the far corner, and waited to be served.

A man from across the room started to walk towards her, stopped at the bar, and then

headed towards her again, this time with two drinks in his hand. The man was young, but

older than Joey. As Joey looked past the sandy blond haired man, she waved at Pacey as

he started noticing her. Pacey hadn't yet set his eyes on the man that was heading towards

Joey, before it was to late.

"Is this set taken?" The man stood politely waiting for an answer.

"No sir, have a set." He nodded in appreciation, set the drinks down, then sat across from

Joey. He smiled, as Joey turned he rhead to see Pacey stop to get a waitiering pad.

"Hello, my name Thomas, Thomas McCormick."

"I'm Joey, Joey Whitter."

"Whitter, you say, is it your brother that owns this place then?"

"No, actually…" Joey went to finish, but Pacey had made his way to the table.

"Good afternoon, I'm Pacey, and I'll be your waiter for today." Pacey gave me a half

smile.

"I should let the lady order first." Thomas smiled.

"Thank-you Thomas, such a gentlemen, I'll have the usual Pace."

"Okay Jo, and how about to drink?" Joey tapped her finger on the table a minute.

"I'll have some milk." Pacey nodded as he wrote down her order,

"And you, Sir?"

"Please call me Thomas, I'll have whatever your special is, and I've got a drink, thanks."

"Aright, I'll have your drink in a moment Joey, and I'll get right on the food."

Joey smiled as Pacey walked away.

"So, how do you know the owner?" Joey smiled, thinking she's play with this guy a bit.

"We go way back, grew up together." Thomas nodded.

"So, what are you doing in Capeside. You look like a city slicker." Thomas smiled at

Joeys comment and took a sip of his drink.

"Vacation," Pacey had started walking over with Joey milk, placed on the table, and

walked away to get there food. Once the meal came, Joey had figured out that Thomas

grew up in New York, and is a heir to a huge athletic company. Joey pushed her plate

away, and toped of her milk. Smiled, and then began to speak,

"So, I still have one more question to ask you." Thomas laughed,

"Ask away." Leaning back in her seat Joey played with her straw,

"Why did you come over here?" Thomas laughed again,

"You looked lonely." Joey laughed. "You were also beautiful, and I saw you were

accompanied by anyone." Joey smiled,

"So you thought that it was a good idea to come over and have a meal with a lonely

beautiful girl." Thomas nodded.

"Yes, then if we had a good time, I would've asked out on a date."

"A date, on I could go on a date with you." Thomas looked shocked.

"Your reason being," Joey smiled.

"I'm married." Thomas started to laugh.

"As if I haven't heard that one before," Joey shook her head; I guess the guy was

desperate. At that moment Pacey came over with the bill, and handed it to the man. As

Thomas looked at the bill to sigh it, he noticed Joey's order wasn't on there.

"Sir, where might the ladies lunch cost be?"

"Oh," Pacey smiled at Joey, "Joey owns half this restaurant, she doesn't pay to eat here."

Thomas looked appalled.

"Joey, you never told me that,"

"Actually, I did tell you. I said I was married. I'm married to the owner. Thomas

McCormick, this is my husband Pacey Whitter, Pace, This is Thomas McCormick, he

had lunch with me." Thomas felt like a total idiot, as he shook his head.

"Nice to meet you, you have a beautiful restaurant, and a wonderful wife."

"Ya, I got lucky." Pacey put an arm around Joey, and watched Thomas get up leave his

money, and walk away.

"I brought your swimming trunks, were going to the beach." Pacey smiled and leaned

down to kiss Joey.

"Okay, I need a break anyway." Taking her hand he led her out of the restaurant.

After Pacey changed into his swim suit, and Joey was running into the water,

Pacey tackled her. He kissed her, as if she'd been away for to long.

"I missed you." Pacey smiled against her lips. Joey smile,

"I've been too caught up with Dawson to think about anyone else." Joey laughed and

started to run deeper into the water, Pacey chased her. Once Joey was in his arms, Pacey

just stared at her,

"I still haven't gotten over how beautiful you are." Joey held onto Pacey, kissed him

softly, then pulled back,

"I have something to tell you," Pacey face turned from caring to automatically concerned.

"Oh," Joey took a deep breath.
