Author's note: This chapter was Epilogue of my previous story Love is Complicated. It might look the same however this chapter goes way more in detail than the epilogue.

He stared deep into her eyes. His lips pressed against Joey's lips. His body heat breezed onto her. There was no doubt that he loved her.

Whenever she was around him, she felt safe and unafraid. She felt, as though, when she was around him, she did not have to worry about anything. He knew what to do and always knew how to solve a problem.

"I love you Joey." He said.

"I love you too, Dawson." Joey clearly stated.

Once again, it was the boy across the creek who loved Joey. Dawson Leary was the one who had the girl.

"Do you think we're doing the right thing? Putting the baby up for adoption?" She popped a question.

"Joey you're eight months in? We have had almost four months to think about this. I think that it would be for the best if we put the baby in a real appropriate environment. Let's face it, sixteen years old were not meant to start a family." He hypnotized.

"But what if I was meant to take care of the baby?…" Joey wondered.

"Joey you're meant to do courageous things? You are destine to go to college, get your master degree, and become some successful career woman… Now that is what you want. But could you imagine doing that and taking care of a young child?"

Joey just looked at him. She did not saying anything. She did not know what to say. Her mind was out of control.

Joey had fallen under Dawson's spell. She knew she was being a follower and not a leader. In this situation, she knew she had to be a leader. She had to be the person to make her own choices. Nonetheless, she was afraid that if she made a choice, it would be the wrong choice and everything would go terribly wrong.

She did not hate Dawson for being too officious. She knew Dawson and all he was doing was trying to make everything better. She loved him and she would not hold him accountable for anything.

"You're not having last minutes doubts?" Dawson wondered.

"No. Of course not." Joey lied.

She hugged Dawson to ease the moment. She did not know if she was having doubts. Nonetheless, she knew she was confused. Was she doing the right thing?


"Dad don't you think we're going too far? Do you think we need a lawyer?" Pacey asked his father. Pacey was at his home with his family.

"You're the father right?" His father asked.

"Yeah." Pacey confirmed.

"You want to be apart of the child's life?" Mr. Witter asked forthcoming.

"Of course." Pacey acknowledged.

"Then yes, we need a lawyer. I will get you best damn lawyer in all of Capeside. The father has equal rights just like the mother does and if you do not want to put the baby up for adoption, you do not have to." John satiated. He glanced down at the list of lawyers in Capeside. As he was looking, he noticed that his son was staring at him.

"What is it?" Mr. Witter asked.

"I just want to… I want to know why you are doing this." Pacey curiously wondered. In his entire life, his father never supported anything that Pacey cared for. Nonetheless, right now, his father was dedicating his life, so that Pacey would have custody of his unborn child.

"Because… I am doing this because I want you to be a better father than I was. I never was one, but if I watched you be a good father, maybe I can." His father announced.

Mr. Witter's revelation to help his son seemed to be miracle for Pacey. It was though hope had surrounded Pacey.

"Thank you." Pacey said.

"No problem." Mr. Witter said. He looked at the list and said, "Ah, here we go. Thomas J. Wellington. I remember him on family dispute case a few years ago."

"Is he good?" Pacey asked.

"Damn good." Mr. Witter grabbed the phone.

"Do you think he'll help us?" Pacey wondered.

"Let's just say, he owes me one." Mr. Witter smiled confidently.


Author's Comment: I didn't send this chapter to anyone because I know we are all busy since midterms are coming up. If you cannot get the time to review I'll understand, but if you can go ahead. I promise I will send the next chapter through email before I post it.
