Monday morning, Joey was in her bedroom looking in the mirror. She was pacifically looking at her stomach. Every t-shirts Joey had tried on, did not completely cover her stomach. She started to notice that she was getting fatter than usual.

"Joey breakfast!" Bessie yelled from the other room.

"Be right there." Joey said. Joey had to think quickly of what she could wear that covered her stomach. She had not told her sister that she was pregnant. She did not know how she could tell her. She would not think her sister would under. She would probably go ballistic on her sister.

Joey came into the dinning room. Bodie was cooking breakfast and Bessie was feeding Alexander. Joey was wearing a big sweatshirt that hid her body shape.

"Joey aren't you hot in that. It suppose to be in the seventies." Bodie stated.

"Yea why don't you wear one of your t-shirts I bought you?" Bessie recommended.

"I'm fine." Joey sat down and started to pick at her food. She knew anything she would eat now would just come back up later in the morning.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Bessie asked.

"Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day." Bodie reminded.

"I'm not really hungry." Joey snapped. All of sudden a car horn honked loudly.

"That's Pacey." Joey grabbed her bag. She was so anxious to get out of the house. She felt so claustrophobic.

"You know he can come inside like a proper gentleman." Bessie said.

"Yea well we're kind of in a hurry… Bye." Joey ran out of the door.

Bessie got up and watched her younger sister get into Pacey's car.

"You know she's been acting kind of weird." Bodie acknowledged.

"I'm worry about her." Bessie said concerened.

"I'm sure everything will be fine." Bodie reinsured.

Joey and Pacey arrived at school without even talking about their situation. They knew that they would have face it sooner or later, they were just afraid of people finding out. They were afraid of the future. They just walked into the building calm and carefree.

"So after school today, do you want to come to the video store and hang out? The new releases are supposed to come in today." Pacey offered.

"Wow, sounds fun." Joey said sarcastically.

"I know it's kind of boring, but you know…" Pacey said.

"You want to be with me ever single moment of the day." She filled in the blanks.

"I'm just worry about you." He confirmed. Even though Pacey was quiet about their situation, he did still care for her. He did not want to let her down.

"You have nothing to worry about. I'll be fine." Joey indemnified.

"Okay. I have to work late tonight. I'm taking an extra shift." Pacey said.

"You know when I told you that might want of have a um a um… well an abortion…" Joey whispered making sure no one heard her, "I said it was a goal. If you can't get six hundred dollars by next week Wednesday, it'll be okay."

"Well, I just want to, you know… I know that you don't have to an abortion, it just that I want you to have all of your options." Pacey said caring. The truth was Pacey did not want her to have an abortion. The thought of a baby was kind appealing.

"Thanks." She said.

"No problem…I got to go. Don't want to be late for class." Pacey said unenthusiastic.

"Wait." Joey said. She dragged Pacey into a deserted hall were no one was in sight and she hauled him to a quiet corner. She then decided to kiss him. She kiss him repeatedly. They pulled away.

"What was that for?" Pacey asked.

"For caring for me. For helping me. For being there for me when I needed you the most. I love you." Joey explained. She has wanted to do that ever since forever.

"I love you too." He kissed her again passionately. But unexpectedly, a bell rang.

"That's the warning bell." Joey labeled.

"Yea. So I'll see you later." He asked.

"Yea." She said with butterflies in her stomach.

In the far distance, Dawson was at the end of the hall watching. He could not believe what was happening. It was as though they pulled out his heart and stomped on it. It was as though they were mocking him.

"Hey." Jen came from behind and saw Dawson faced her.

Dawson did not say anything.

Jen noticed that something was not right, "What's wrong?" But before he could answer, she saw Pacey and Joey kissing.
