Pacey said his goodbyes to Joey and left her outside all alone. Everything had changed so much and Joey wished all of this could just stop. She wanted to be a normal teenager with normal problems. She did not want to be in this situation.
Dawson walked out of the adoption agency looking for Joey. After gazing around, he located Joey sitting by herself, on the bench. He walked over by her, "Joey."
"Dawson…" Her voice was tearful.
"Joey what's wrong?" Dawson said sitting down next to her.
"Dawson… if I ask you a straight forth question, will you give me a straight forth answer?" Joey queried.
"Of course." Dawson said, however he had no idea what she was going to ask.
"What exactly did you tell Pacey?" She asked an unpredictable question.
"What? What are you talking about?" Dawson denied.
"Dawson stop lying! I want an answer." Joey said persistent.
"Why does it matter? I mean, he's out of the way now?" Dawson gave wrong advice.
"Dawson shut up! If you cannot tell me the truth or any reasonable explanation, then I do not want to hear anything. Now I am going to ask you one more time!… What did you tell Pacey? " Joey ordered.
After thinking about what he was going to say, Dawson took a deep breath and said, "Joey, all of us care about you: Pacey, your sister, your father, and even myself.. We just want the best for you. We know that this isn't easy… and you probably feel that if you put the baby up for adoption, you won't be able to take it back. But don't you see, I … we all want you to go to college so that you can go far… Joey we all love you, but if you truly think if you can have this baby, then no one is in your way."
All of this was so exhilarating for Joey and even though it wasn't stated, it was implied that Joey needed to make a decision "now". She had to make the decision now because it would not be productive if she kept changing her decisions throughout the process of her pregnancy.
However, before Joey could make a choice, Dawson messed with her mind, "But if you do keep the baby, I don't think some people would be able to forgive you, including myself. Also I don't think you would be able to forgive yourself for making a mistake."
Dawson grabbed her hand and when he looked at her, Joey realized Pacey's theory was right. She started to notice how Dawson was looking at her. Dawson truly loved her. Joey looked at him falling back into his hypnosis paradox. Nonetheless, she did not do anything to stop him. Would she pick him over her own child? Would she pick the simple choice?
"Joey, I love you." Dawson said.
Joey felt utterly happy when he said it. When he said those three words (most importantly love"), Joey felt that he truly meant it.
"I love you too." Joey responded.
Joey did not wait for him to make his move. It has been almost a year since Joey and Dawson were together. Joey leaned and passionately kissed Dawson on the lips.
