Dawson and Bessie left Pacey alone with Mr. Potter. Mr. Potter had been waiting for this conversation for quite some time. He even planned a speech for Pacey. He was ready to talk to Pacey.

Pacey, on the other hand, was nervous. He knew when a guy had messed with a daughter; the father would be furiously offended. The father would want to come after the boyfriend. He would blame everything on the boyfriend.

"Pacey, are you scared?" Mr. Potter asked.

"Well, kind of sir… Yes, sir. I am really scared right now." Pacey confessed.

"You should be." Mr. Potter proudly stated.

"Oh…" Pacey knees were giving out.

"Therefore, I am going to make this painless as it can be… But if this is going to be an easy process, you are going to need to communicate with me and corporate with me. Understood?" Mr. Potter instructed.

"Yes, sir." Pacey wanted to believe him, but he knew there was a catch.

"Have seat." Mr. Potter suggested as both of them sat down.

Pacey sat down, "Thank you."

After a long dreadful moment, Mr. Potter said, "So how are you?"

"Well, I guess I'm alright." Pacey answered.

"Really?… After you got my daughter pregnant,… humiliated her,… embarrassed her,… hurt her, and you feel that everything is just right?" Mr. Potter twisted around Pacey's words, "Let me ask you this, do you want to keep this baby?"

"Well, why not? I mean I think Joey and I would be great parents." Pacey responded confidently.

Mr. Potter nodded, "Pacey how old are?"

"I turned seventeen a few weeks ago." Pacey replied.

"And how old is my daughter?" Mr. Potter asked.

"She's sixteen… Look I know where you are going with this. I know that you think that we're too young to raise a child, but let me point out that you are completely wrong. Age does not matter." Pacey defended.

"I'm wrong?" Mr. Potter repeated.

"Yes." Pacey said.

"Okay," Mr. Potter took a deep breath and began to interrogate Pacey, "Pacey where will the baby live?"

"Umm I guess, my house, but most likely Joey's." Pacey responded softly.

"How is that going to happen? Do you expect that we add another room in our home?… And even so what about the B&B?"

Pacey did not know how to answer him, "Well I guess…"

Before Pacey could say something, Mr. Potter interrupted him, "How do you plan on supporting the baby?"

"I have a job…" Pacey said uninsured.

"Oh, Dawson told me about your job at the video store. He told me they fire you ages ago." Mr. Potter reminded.

"They did. Didn't they." Pacey forgot.

"Okay, let's try to figure this out. You are jobless and you have no idea where you are going to live… Now what Pacey? How do you and Joey plan on finishing high school?" Mr. Potter continued.

"We could have a daycare or babysitter, or maybe a nanny can help us out." Pacey listed hesitantly.

"Are do you expect to pay for this?… With your jobless pay check?…" Mr. Potter did not feel guilty that he was being tough with Pacey.

"I don't know sir." Pacey finally broke.

"Do you expect your family to help you? Do you expect your drunken father to help you?" Mr. Potter insulted.

That threw Pacey excessively far. Mr. Potter passed the line. Pacey got up ready to punch him so hard.

"You're going to hit me." Mr. Potter predicted.

Pacey did not say anything. Nevertheless, Pacey did feel his fist getting tighter. He wanted to punch Mr. Potter badly.

"You can hit me, but it won't make your problems go away. They still will be there after you hit me! Your problems will not go away and the truth is, you cannot take care of this baby….. -You want to take care of the baby but you can't; there's a difference-… You want to keep the baby, but you do not want to keep the responsibilities that come with being a parent. Reality check, this baby is going to need a real family. A real family includes real parents who are adults. Real parents who graduated from college. Real parents who have real jobs so that they can support the child… That is what the baby needs!………… Don't be selfish Pacey. This is what Joey wants." Mr. Potter ignited.

"She does?" Pacey said tearful.

Mr. Potter grabbed a packet and handed it to Pacey. It was the form. The form that the father had to sign.

"What is this?" Pacey wondered.

"Read it… It is the form the father needs to sign so the baby can be put up for adoption." Mr. Potter explained.

Pacey looked at the packet and started to read it word by word. He wanted to understand everything.

As the law says, both parents must be willing to give up the baby so he/she can be pass into a prestigious family. Once I sign this, I rightfully may not be declared the real parent. So no legal and responsible actions can be made by me. I, the mother, Josephine Potter rightfully give my biologically child up for adoption. I, the father,rightfully give my biologically child up for adoption.

"It is all for the best Pacey. You need to sign the contract." Mr. Potter asked in hypnosis way.

Pacey took a deep breath and read the print again, I the father, rightfully give my biological child up for adoption. Pacey stared at it long and clear. This was happening so fast, but a decision needed to be made now.

Pacey looked at Mr. Potter and said, "Do you have a pen?"
