They fell on the bed with shirts taken off, Joey's bra left over some of his books, without breaking the kiss. His hands ran over her body, but when they reached her jeans button reality kicked in.

"Pace, I, we can't..."She whispered.

He looked at her confused, finally getting into the situation.

"What was that?" he asked, without moving.

"Our hormones being wiser than us" she couldn't help a smile.

"It's better for you to get…uh…dressed…" he rolled over, allowing her to stand up, reaching for her clothes.

"Think about Grandma Witter" he mumbled to himself, trying to fight the overwhelming need to touch her.

She looked at him amused…she knew he was using the trick of thinking about his grandma to calm down…she remembered how funny she found it when he told that to her a long time ago, aboard True Love. And the way he had his eyes closed, taking deep breaths, it was so the same she couldn't help laughing.

"What's so funny, Potter?"

"You, me, us…how we can change from accusations and heartbreak to almost having sex, and you thinking about your grandma."

"And how is that funny?"

"I don't know, just it is…Pace, I'm going to tell you what happened…but can I ask you one thing?"

"Sure, Jo…" The heated kisses seemed to chase away all the angry between them.

"Can you hold me?"

His answer was moving a little aside so she could lay beside him. She felt his arms around her, both feeling they were home again.

"I missed this, Pace…more than anything else." She whispered.

"I missed you too, Jo." She felt his hands on her hair. "I'm sorry for the things I said to you today."

She didn't reply to that…Pacey got a little bit scared by the blank expression on her face…when she started to talk again, it was like she had been replaced by some other person, with no life in her voice…

"It happened after graduation…"

Flashback

Joey sat on Dawson's dock crying. Dawson's parents were giving him a party and all the gang was there, except Pacey. She needed so much to talk to him; she still couldn't believe he left without attending his own graduation. She heard someone's step and wiped off her tears, trying to hide them.

"Hey, Joey…" Jen sat beside her. "Wanna talk?"

"I couldn't even talk to him, Jen…" She was sobbing now.

"Shh, Joey, it's ok…it's not like you are never talking to him ever...he'll be living in Boston, with me and Jackers when he gets back"

"Jen, you don't get it…I can't wait that much…

'God, Joey, don't tell me you're…"

"I'm pregnant, Jen…" she cried harder.

"Oh, Joey...what are you going to do?"

"I don't know…promise you won't tell anybody"

"Have you gone to the doctor yet?"

"No, I'm scared…"

"Joey, you have to go to the doctor…I'll go with you"

"Thanks, Jen" she left out a small laughter "Who would think you would be the one helping me through this…"

"Yes, who would guess? Now, wipe off these tears and try to enjoy your graduation party just a little, ok?"

A week later

Joey was alone at home, feeling cramps like she never did before…she was scared to death to call anyone, nobody except Jen knew she was pregnant…Was she loosing her baby, the last thing that somehow connected her to Pacey? She decided to call Jen; she would be there as soon as possible. Someone rang at the door.

"Dawson! What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you, Joey..."

"Dawson, please not now…isn't enough you kissing me in font of everybody leading Pacey to break up with me?"

"Joey. He will never, never love you the way…"

"Don't even get started…He loves me"

"He just wanted you to have sex, Joey, face it..."

"No, Dawson. Sometimes I can't recognize you…"

"Face the truth, Joey…"

"No, Dawson, you're dead wrong about this…" The pain in her belly made her fall."

"Joey? Jo, what's happening?" Dawson leaned down, trying to help her.

"My baby" she whispered.

Dawson stood up angry

"How could you be so stupid, Joey? Get pregnant? You really deserve him, you're both losers..."

He left her alone, missing for seconds a very worried Jen, who found Joey on the floor passed out.

"Joey! Joey, wake up, please!" She noticed how pale she was.

Jen quickly dialed 911, hoping help would get there soon. The paramedics were there with the ambulance, asking too many questions

"What happened, miss?"

"My friend called me, she was feeling cramps, she is pregnant and has not gone to the doctor yet, and when I arrived she was here, passed out"

"Can you call her parents or some relative?"

"Can I do that at the hospital?"

"Sure, come with us…"

As soon as they got there, she called Bessie, while the doctors took care of Joey.

Doctors and paramedics talking

"Josephine Potter, seventeen year old, female, her friend says she's pregnant, found unconscious on her floor, vitals: BP 90 over 40, , pulse 120, spontaneous breathing, 1000 ml saline on IV, no response on vitals."

"Thanks, we take care from here."

"CBC, alcohol and drugs tests, bring an ultrasound scan over here Another IV line, please and 4 units of O neg. And page OB"

"It's a ruptured ectopic pregnancy; let's take her to the OR, now."

Outside ER.

"Jen, darling, what happened? Where is my sister?" An almost hysterical Bessie arrived.

"She's inside that room. I don't know what's happening. Bessie, she's pregnant, I found her unconscious in your living room, and called 911."

"Oh, god, she's pregnant?! I'm gonna kill that Witter boy when I get my hands near him…"

"Pacey doesn't know Bessie…"

"Who is related to Ms. Josephine Potter?"

"I'm her sister"

"Your sister has a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, which made her bleed a lot, and we're taking her to the OR."

"Is it serious, doc?'

"She in shock, lost too much blood, but she's young and healthy. We'll keep you updated as soon as possible."
