Chapter 6

Disclaimer: I am not trying to steal anything from anyone I'm just attempting to write a story….

The summer was filled with changes both good and bad. I moved in with Pacey three weeks after we graduated and this quickly became home. To Dawson's dismay Pacey got a job as a chef at Leery's Fresh Fish and I returned to the yacht club. That is until the rumor spread I was pregnant. By the time I found another job I was seven months pregnant and so sick I could barely get out of bed. My discomfort seemed to be progressing in perfect unison with the summer solstice.

The beginning of the summer wasn't as bad. At least I could be up and around but the end was unbearable. This little guy was determined not to make things easy, already reminding me of it's father.

Things with Dawson didn't get any better or worse. Nothing really happened. After graduation night he just stopped talking to me. I know Jen has tried to get him to talk but he is stubborn. I know he didn't have much time before he headed off to California, but I had hoped he would say good bye. I came to the realization although he was a part of my past my true best friend wouldn't abandon me. That made it a little easier to let go, but someone who has been such a huge part of your life for so long is really hard to write off.

Jen seemed to fill his void and became my best friend. She came over almost everyday to help out and see how I was doing. Her friendship is something I really needed. Once I was unemployed and incredibly sick Jen helped me out when Pacey was working I don't think I would have made it through the summer without her.

Pacey proposed to me on a warm night in July. I was feeling a little better and we were able to go out for the night. He had cooked us an incredible dinner we ate by candle light on the dock where 'true love' used to be kept. There were white twinkle lights strung up everywhere and rose petals scattered on the floor. It was a clear night and the moon shinning incredibly bright. There was a gentle breeze and it felt like somehow the universe new this night needed to be perfect. After dinner Pacey asked me to dance and I accepted despite the lack of music. He held my close to him and began to sing "Amazed" into my ear by Lonestar.

I don't know how you do what you do…

I'm so in love with you I wanna spend

the rest of my life with you by my side.

Forever and ever. Every little thing that you do

baby I'm amazed by you…

The song brought tears to my eyes and I realized what he was going to do. As soon as he was finished he knelt on one knee, told me how much he loved me and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. Then he asked me to marry him and I scarcely got out a "yes" before I was back in his arms.

We decided to wait until after the baby is born to get married because we didn't have the time to plan a wedding and we thought it would be nice for our child to be a part of it.

Now it is September and the baby is due in a month. As I look down at my swelling belly I am reminded of how eight months ago it seemed like the baby would never come, but when I wasn't looking time went into fast forward and now I feel completely unprepared. I am sitting up in bed resting on the cushion of pillows in place to support my back. Pacey is lying next to me and glances up catching my apprehension.

"What's on your mind Potter?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking about the baby and do you think we are ready?"

"There is no way for us to be completely prepared, but we have a gorgeous room ready with a crib, diapers, clothes, toys, we have read What to Expect When Your Expecting, and we have been to lamaze classes. I don't think we can get any more prepared. Don't worry everything is going to be fine. We saved a lot of money this summer and you are going to be a great mother." He flashed me a patented Witter smile and gave me a kiss before rubbing my belly and placing kisses all over that too.

"Mommy's got nothing to worry about right little guy?" I just rolled my eyes and said, "Night pace."

A/N I know it has been forever since I updated this but I decided to get back into it. Let me know what you think of the story!
