All day, he was driving to a specific destination. That one target was Capeside, Massachusetts. His one goal was to undo all the trouble he had created last year. He had to make peace to everyone he had hurt. He had to heal wounds that he had caused. He had wanted to make a positive difference.

Pacey J. Witter was coming back to Capeside and he was staying for good. Last year, after Pacey had gotten Joey pregnant, everyone had lost respect for him. However, Pacey was in denial. He just thought it was one mistake. People make mistakes all the time. Pacey had thought that this mistake would just go away.

Nonetheless, that one mistake led to a chain reaction of more problems. After Joey was pregnant, he decided it was time for soul searching. Therefore, Joey had broken up with him. Their break up guided her to get back together with Dawson. PREDICTABLE! Nonetheless, once again Dawson and Joey broke up. Afterwards, one thing led to another, everyone separated from each other. The six friends were no longer friends.

As things were getting more difficult, he ran away from his problems. Pacey had left Capeside last summer. He had gone somewhere simpler. To be quite honest, anywhere was easier than Capeside. However, for Pacey, it did not feel like home. It felt like a lie living in New York.

Pacey was now a father. He was a father to Joshua Witter. He wanted his son to receive a great childhood. He wanted his son to admire him. The only way that was going to happen, was if he moved back to Capeside.

Therefore, one day, Pacey had decided to pack up his and his son's things. He was heading back to Capeside. His runaway just made him realized that he missed Capeside.

"Where on earth do you think you're going?" Doug had caught his younger brother packing up.

"Capeside." Pacey said shameless.

"For an unexpected visit." Doug hoped.

"Nope… I'm going there for a permanent move." Pacey said openly.

"Okay… Slow down… Rewind… Did you just say you are moving back to Capeside?" Doug asked.

"Yes." Pacey answered.

"Why? Pacey moving here was for you… It was practically your idea. You begged us." Doug reminded.

"I know that Doug." Pacey said shaken by Doug's interrogation, "Doug, I know that running away wasn't a good idea. And I learned that on family's behalf. But you don't understand at all!"

"What I don't understand is why you wasted our money and time?" Doug said upset.

"No one feels guiltier than me, but I have to go back." Pacey declared.

"What about your son?" Doug wondered.

"I'm going to take him with me." Pacey replied.

"Are you going to tell Joey?" Doug questioned.

"She deserves to know." Pacey said.

"You know it won't be easy." Doug reminded.

"Yes, I know it won't be easy…But I have to go… If I stay in New York, it would be like telling my son running away is a good idea…I can't live the rest of my life knowing I ran away." Pacey accentuated.

Doug stepped away from the doorway and said, "Then I won't stand in your way."

Pacey grabbed the packed suitcases. He then hugged his brother knowing that he had Doug's approval.

"Thanks bro." Pacey expressed.

"Bye Pacey." Doug said.

Pacey walked out the door and grabbed his son. Then he headed to his car preparing for a long drive. This was something Pacey had to do.

In front of a familiar home, Pacey had parked his car. It was Joey's home. He was too afraid to go in there. He had walked in and out of that house for years. It was as if Pacey belonged there.

However, how was he supposed to walk in that house and tell Joey that he had kept their child? He had become a father without her acknowledgment. This would be the hardest thing to say to Joey.

Pacey turned around and looked at the back seat. He saw his son sleeping in the baby seat. Then he remembered why he was here. He was here because of Joshua.

"I can tell you this Josh…" Pacey was talking to his son even though Josh was not awake, "Your mother is the most beautiful person in the world. She will just love you. This town will love you, but they have to accept you first. And I promise you, I will work day and night to make sure everyone accepts you. And if they don't accept you, it won't be because we let them… You are going to love it here in Capeside. I promise"

Pacey turned around and looked at the Potter's home. After what had happened last year, was he supposed to walk in there and act like it was no big deal. Was he supposed to expect them to be shock, awed, happy, or all of the above?

No matter what would happen, he would approach it with pride and dignity. He was doing this for his son. He wanted his son to grow up with a great life. Nonetheless, could he walk in there and tell the truth?
