Compared to Joey, Pacey was more panicked than she was. He did not know what to do. He was tense and flustered. He tried to stay calm, but he was mentally unstable. Because of the excitement, his brain had shut down. He thought when Joey had gone into labor, he would have been ready, but truth was he had never been so unprepared in his life.

"Okay, let's not panic. Let's not panic! Let's just get the car and we can drive to the hospital." Pacey said hyperactive.

"Pacey." Joey tried to calm Pacey down.

Joey felt pain in her lower abdomen and she thought it might have been labor pains. She could have been wrong, but she knew something was not right. She thought it would have been smart to gone to the hospital just in case.

"Oh damn it! Doug has the car. God. It's okay. I'll call for an ambulance." He picked up the phone.

"Pacey." Joey continued her altruism of calamity.

As he started to call, "I hope they come… Who am I kidding! There's only one damn ambulance in this damn isolated town…"

"Pacey!" Joey's voice was raised which caught Pacey's attention.

"Yea." He tried to catch his breath.

"You need to calm down! Okay! We'll just call a taxi!" Joey said.


Inside the taxi, Joey and Pacey were sitting silently. There was a lot of tension between the two of them. They did not know what say or how to communicate to one another. They were merely anxious that their baby (which they have been fighting over for months) was about to be born.

"Are you… uhm… are you okay?" Pacey, who broke the silence, asked.

"Yea." Joey said.

"Are you sure?" Pacey wondered.

"Yes I'm sure!" Joey started to get agitated.

Even though he was just trying to help, Pacey irritated her some more, "Okay, but if you need anything just ask… Because if we need to go faster, we can… Driver!"

"Pacey. Just shut up okay! Okay! Shut up!" Joey blew up.

Pacey just looked at her and by looking at her, he knew he had crossed the line. Her facial expression explained that she was livid.

"Pacey, you need to stop it. Just stop…. God! All I want is peace and quiet, and you can't even do that right. You have to screw it up too. Just like how you screw up my life. God, you mess up everything don't you?"

Joey expected that Pacey would yell back. Joey assumed that Pacey would defend for himself. Joey wanted Pacey to argue with her.

However, Pacey did no such thing. All he said was, "I'm sorry."

"What?" She said quietly. Joey just looked shocked and misunderstood. She did not know why Pacey was apologizing.

"I'm sorry that I messed up your life. I just… I just want you know that I am willing to take all of the blame. You can blame everything on me. I'll take all the responsibilities." He said without justifying his response.

Joey wanted to apologies for what she said. She wanted to tell Pacey that she would take equal share of the blame. However, before she could apologize, a massive pain struck Joey's stomach.

Joey started screaming "Oh, my god! Oh my god! Ah! Ow!"

"Are you okay?" Pacey asked.

"No I'm not okay! We need to get to the hospital. Now!" Joey said.

Pacey tried to comfort her, "We're almost there!"
