AN: Okay here it is the final chapter. Really sorry about the delay guys! Hope you Enjoy!

Andie's POV:

The Potter B & B is quiet. There's no reason that it shouldn't be. According to my watch its three o'clock in the morning. I glance over to the other couch where Pacey had been sleeping and find it empty.

Throwing back my blanket, I head upstairs. I'm pretty sure I know where I can find him. Sure enough I find him in Doug's room, standing by the window, just staring outside. Quietly I walk over to him.

"Hey Pacey, shouldn't you be sleeping?" I ask laying my hand on his shoulder.

"Couldn't sleep," he replied his eyes not leaving the window. Looking out, I see that the storm has let up but it hasn't quite stopped snowing yet.

"Doug's going to be fine," I tell him for the I don't know what number of times. Its almost like I've been repeating it since we found him.

Both Mrs. Ryan and I had checked him out better once we got him here. He probably had a mild concussion from hitting his head on whatever he hit it on. Doug had said he couldn't remember. The cut hadn't been that deep. His left wrist was sprained possibly fractured but other than that we hadn't found any other injuries.

"I'm sure you're right," Pacey replied.

"But . . ." I prompted.

"Right when he started his shift, he stopped by the restaurant to tell me he was working and to tell me to be careful going home. Instead of appreciating the fact that he was concerned about me I got mad at him. Threw his concern right back in his face. What if that had been the last time I saw him?"

"It wasn't though Pacey. The two of you will work everything out."

"Thanks to you."

"I didn't do that much," I said glad the light was dim as I could feel my cheeks getting warm.

"Are you kidding. I definitely would have tried making it the hospital instead of here and you were right, I probably never would have made it. I needed you out there tonight Andie and I really appreciate you coming with me despite your fears."

"That's what friends are for."

"Do you think we could ever be more than that again?"

He asked it in such a soft voice that part of me wondered if I had just imagined it. Looking over at him though, I found him looking back at me and saw the question there in his eyes also. I knew then that I hadn't imagined it. That Pacey really was asking me for a second chance. I felt my heart skip a beat and tried to find the words to say what I was feeling.

"I know I was unfair to you before and I probably don't deserve a second chance seeing as I wasn't willing to give you one, but the truth is Andie, I never stopped loving you. Yeah I was angry and hurt for awhile but once those feeling went away the simple fact remained that I still loved you. Every relationship I've had since then, I find myself comparing it to what we had and it always falls short."

He stopped talking again, and looked down at me expectantly. Waiting for my answer. The answer that is right there on the tip of my tongue but I just can't utter it. I'm still in to much of a shock that he has just said what I had been trying to find the courage to say to him.

Without a word, I take the last few steps to close the distance between us and throw my arms around him, still unable to speak. It isn't long before I feel his strong arms around me holding me close. His breath blowing softly through the strands of my hair. It feels so peaceful to be this close to him again.

"Can I take this as a yes?" He asks softly.

"Yes," I tell him finally finding words. "I've missed you so much."

"I've missed you too."

A soft moan interrupts are reunion. I had forgotten where we were. Letting go of me, Pacey heads toward the bed, re-occupying the chair that is at the bedside. Quietly I follow him. In the dim light of the lone lamp that is on, I can see that Doug is awake.

"Where am I?" Doug asked a look of confusion on his face.

"The Potter B & B," Pacey reminds him softly. "You had an accident . . ."

"That's right. I could barely see anything in front of me. I think I hit it before I even knew it was there."

"Doug about earlier . . ."

"Pacey don't worry about it," Doug replied.

"No, I acted like a real jerk and I want to apologize. You've done so much for me these last few years, and I know that sometimes it might seem like I don't appreciate it but I do. If it weren't for you I'm not sure where I'd be right now but I probably wouldn't have a good job and a solid roof over my head."

"No you'd probably be out on a sailboat somewhere avoiding reality," Doug quipped.

"Seems like hitting that deer did you some good anyways," Pacey told him. "I think it might have given you a sense of humor."

All three of us laughed at that.

"Andie, I want to thank you too," Doug said growing seriously.

"Just doing what either of you would have done for me," I replied.

"Still, the two of you saved my life tonight. Thank-you."

"You're welcome," I replied knowing that there was a goofy grin on my face. I couldn't help it. I was just happy that everything had turned out so well.

"Why don't you go get some sleep," Pacey suggested looking up from the chair.

"What about you?"

"I'm going to sit here for awhile. I'll be down later."

"Sure you will," I reply leaning over and kissing his forehead, knowing full well he'll end up sleeping in that chair. Still if it were my brother I would probably be doing the same.

Jack's POV:

I woke up with a stiff neck and the sun shining in my face. Sitting up I realized I had fallen asleep on the couch probably not long after Andie had called me saying they were all safe at the B & B. I had been so relieved when I got that call and decided not to kill Pacey.

Looking over at the clock, I saw that it was already noon. I stood up and walked over to the window. Everything was white. The plows had already been through and had cleared the roads in town. By this time they were probably working on clearing back roads.

I heard the doorbell. Going over to the door I opened it up. Before I knew it, Andie had thrown her arms around me.

"Andie. What? How?" To say the least I was surprised to see her.

"Pacey dropped me off. Doug's at the hospital. They're running some tests just to make sure he's okay and so Pacey dropped me off here so I could surprise you. What you do, just wake up?"

"As a matter of fact, yes I did."

"Well go take a shower and I'll get you breakfast, she told me."

"Yes ma'am," I replied. Even though my sister could get bossy at times, I still loved her.

By the time I got showered and dressed, Andie had made eggs and toast for me. She even had a glass of orange juice sitting next to my plate.

"Mmmm, that smells good," I said as I sat down at the table.

"Yeah, well just don't stuff yourself. Thanksgiving dinner is at four at the Leery's remember," she told me sitting down at the table across from me, with a glass of orange juice in her hand.

"I always have room for turkey," I told her with a big grin on my face.

I ate my late breakfast and then Andie and I sat ourselves down on the couch. We flipped through channels trying to find something that we could both agree on watching. Finally we found a movie we both liked.

Around two o'clock my cell phone rang. I reached forward and retrieved it off of the coffee table. It was Dawson.

"Hey man, what's up?"

"I'm just calling you to tell you there's been a change in plans for dinner. Pacey called me. The doctor's told Doug to take it easy for the next couple of days so they weren't going to come. Mom got the idea to just have the dinner there so we're going to cook it here and then take it to Doug's place. It'll probably be about four thirty. Just figured I'd save you the trip out there."

"Okay. Do you need any help."

"No. We've got plenty of help. Joey and Bessie are over here along with Grams and Jen. We'll see you around four-thirty."

"Okay. Bye."

"What was that about?"

"Change of venue and time for dinner."

Pacey's POV:

I was finishing setting the tables, Dawson had brought a fold-up table out from his house which we had set up next to the regular table, when the doorbell rang.

"I got it," I called out even though from the noise I was hearing from the kitchen I doubted they heard me let alone the doorbell. Last I knew Doug was in his room resting.

As I expected, when I opened the door, Andie and Jack were standing on the front steps.

"Welcome and come on in," I said holding the door open for them. Jack came in first and then Andie. As I closed the door I leaned over and kissed her.

"I missed all the fun last night didn't I," Jack said. I looked over to see him looking at me and Andie. At least there was a smile on his face. I wasn't sure how he was going to take the idea of Andie and I back together.

"Dinner's ready," Mrs. Leery called out walking out of the kitchen with the turkey.

"I need to go get Doug," I said heading toward my brother's bedroom, a path which took me by Jack.

"You hurt her and you'll be answering to me," Jack whispered as I walked past.

I could tell he was serious but I had no intention of letting Andie go this time. Sure we had some tough times ahead of us as she finished up her schooling. I knew Andie wanted to be a doctor and I wasn't about to stand in the way of that dream. I'd wait for her, while she finished up her schooling. What happened to us after that only time would tell.

"I won't," I whispered back.

Jack nodded and followed the others to the dining room as I went to Doug's room. I knocked softly and then stuck my head through the cracked door.

"You joining us?" I asked him as I sawhe was awake.

"Yeah," Doug said getting up only to sit right back down on the bed.

"Are you okay?" I asked going all the way into the room.

"Yeah, I just stood up to fast," Doug replied. "Stop worrying," he told me standing up more slowly this time.

"I'll do that when you actually start looking like you can kick my butt again," I told him with a grin.

"Don't be so sure I couldn't do that right now if you give me reason enough," Doug replied.

"Let's not test that," I told him. "Come on, they're probably waiting on us."

The two of us headed toward the dining room. Everyone else had gathered around the table. Dawson sat in between his Mom and Lilly. Next to Gale was Joey with Alexander sitting next to her. Bessie and Bodie had stayed at the B &B to serve the guests. Then came Jen and Mrs. Ryan. Jack had sat next to Lilly and was busy telling her a joke. Andie sat next to her brother, the smile on her face making her that much more beautiful.

I sat down next to Andie, which left the chair between me and Jen left for Doug.

"I'm glad you're okay," I heard Jen whisper to Doug. "If you hadn't had to take me out to the B & B . . ."

"It wasn't your fault Jen," he told her cutting her off. "It just was."

"Okay, before we all start eating I'd like to make a toast," Mrs. Leery said standing up. "It's been an interesting and eventful last twenty-four hours but we all banded together and made it through. This definitely wasn't how we all expected this weekend to turn out but then life's always full of surprises. I'm thankful that despite the different direction our lives have taken us, that we were still all able to come together and enjoy this meal together. This is definitely a Thanksgiving to remember."

She sure was right about that, I thought to myself as we all started getting food and passing things around the table. I could've very well loss my brother but someone had been looking over us. Keeping us all safe while out there in the middle of the storm last night. Not only had I found my brother but I also got the only girl I had ever loved back in my life. I knew I wouldn't forget this Thanksgiving for a long, long time.
