On Saturday morning, as the hour hand reached seven o'clock, Pacey's knee was bouncing up and down apprehensively. Joey was calmly sitting next to him reading a teen magazine. They were obviously in a clinic's waiting room. Joey could tell that Pacey was extremely nervous and anxious. To be completely honest, they both were vaguely hesitant.

"Did you know that the actor, Todd, broke up with Ashen to be with another younger actress?" Joey was reading facts out of the magazine.

"Hmm really… How long were they together?" Pacey asked.

"Three weeks." Joey stated.

"Wow… Three whole weeks. That's one more week than what people would normally date in Hollywood." Pacey joked.

Joey put the magazine down and looked at the clock. She was watching as the second hand moved very slowly. They were uselessly talking about the magazine because they did not want to state the obvious. They were in denial.

The reason why they were at the clinic was that they wanted to see if Joey was truly pregnant. They have not gone to a doctor yet and Joey was starting to get concerned about her health.

Therefore, she had Pacey drive her to Boston so they could go to a free clinic. She did not want to go to the free clinic at Capeside because she did not want to take a risk of running into someone they knew.

"You know what, it's been forever. I don't think the doctor is coming... We should, you know, go!" Joey said callously.

"No… No were not going anywhere. You convinced me to drive us thirty miles to go to this clinic. It would be pointless if we left. We're not going anywhere." Pacey acknowledged.

"Well we've been in this waiting room since the dawn of dust." Joey reminded.

"Ms. Potter, the doctor will see you in just a moment." The receptionist said from her desk.

"See. The doctor will see us in a moment." Pacey repeated.

"Well I know that you don't want to be here, so why should we stay if you don't want to." Joey said garrulously.

"What makes you think I don't want to be here?" Pacey denied it even though it was true. He felt awkward being in the waiting room to see if his Joey was pregnant. He knew that he wasn't the most responsible person in this world, but he never thought he would get someone pregnant before he graduated high school.

"Because it written all over your face and your body behavior is tremulous, and…" Joey began to ramble tediously.

"Joey," Pacey interrupted, "We can't run from this anymore. We have to find out the truth."

Joey took a deep breath, "And what if I am pregnant. For real."

"Then we'll take care of it." Pacey knew the moment he said it, he knew Joey would take it the wrong way and think he was talking about an abortion. "I didn't mean to say that way. I just came out. What I meant was…"

"I know what you meant." Joey grabbed his hand.

"Everything will be okay. I promise." Pacey declared.

"Ms. Potter… The doctor will see you know." The receptionist instructed.

Joey got up ready to enter the room when Pacey followed her.

"Oh were you going…" Joey did not expect him to come in the room with her.

"Well, I just…" Pacey mumble hesitantly.

"Yea well," She panicked. She did not want him to come in, but she did want to hurt his feelings and blurt it out.

"Do you want me to wait out here?" Pacey asked.

"Yeah. That would be nice." Joey thanked.

Like it or not, it was time for Joey to receive the truth but she had to accept it all by herself.
