After calling all their friends and asking them to meet them at Leery's Fresh Fish for dinner they went to Pacey's house to break the news.

"Why am I even surprised?" Pacey's dad asked

"What do you mean dad?"

"Now you really have no future. And not only have you ruined your future put you've ruined Joey's life too. But I shouldn't have expected anything less from you."

"Mr. Witter, Pacey hasn't ruined my life; my life has gotten so much better with him in it."

"Joey you're having a baby that will change your life forever."

"We know that Mr. Witter but we are certain that if we work together we will make this work."

"That's a sweet thought Joey but its BULL SHIT."

"Look dad me and Joey are going through with this we love each other and this will work out. I was hoping you would support us but I should have known not to expect too much from you, so you can support us or not it doesn't make a bit of difference." Pacey yelled at his father and then stormed out of his front door and got inside Joey's truck.

"Mr. Witter one day you're going to wake up and realize that you have an amazing son and if you're not careful it will be too late." Joey left Pacey's parents to think about that statement and followed Pacey out to her truck. "After that are you sure you want to tell our friends?"

"Joey our friends will be more understanding."

It was quickly approaching dinner time Dawson, Jack, Jen, and Gretchen were already at the restaurant waiting for Joey and Pacey's "Big News"

"What do you think this is about?" Dawson asked

"I have no idea." Jen replied quickly

"Maybe Pacey got accepted into college." Jack stated and looked over at Jen who quickly looked away. "Okay Jen what's up?" Jack whispered to her. Just then Joey and Pacey walked into the restaurant.

"Finally, so tell us what the big news is!" Gretchen stated

"Well we wanted to tell everyone that I am moving to Boston with Joey and we are going to move into an apartment together." Pacey said deciding that it was better to ease into the news.

"That's great Pace, but that's your big news?" Dawson asked.

"No, Dawson, that's not all" Joey replied "We also wanted to let all of you know that I am seven weeks pregnant and Pacey and I have decided to keep the baby."

Dawson sat looking dumbfounded not being able to find any words to express himself. This was it truly the final nail in the coffin of Dawson and Joey there was no way they'd ever be together again.

"So are you giving up Worthington?" Jen asked

"No, Pacey will watch the baby while I'm at school and he is going to work nights."

"Pacey, Joey just know that I'm here for you and I'll support you no matter what." Gretchen stated

"Yeah me too" Jen told them

"Same here" Jack stated

The three of them stood up and began to give the couple a supportive hug. When Dawson stood up with rage in his eyes

"Has everyone lost it? Can't you all see how big of a mistake these two are making? Joey how could you be so stupid, I mean I'd expect this from Pacey but your suppose to be the smart one I would never expect you to do something so ridiculous and obtuse. I can't believe you Joey." Dawson finished and stormed out of the restaurant leaving Joey behind in tears. Pacey held Joey and let her cry and tried to tell her that it would be ok.

"How can he say such mean things? I know we messed up we made a mistake but I never thought he'd be this hurtful."

"Joey I don't think it the baby that made him so upset, I think he just realized how over the two of you are and that why he is so upset."

Joey just looked at Pacey not saying a word and continued to cry on his shoulder. While this was going on Gretchen left the restaurant and followed Dawson outside.

"Dawson" she yelled

"What" he yelled back

"How in the hell can you be so cruel?"

"Their eighteen Gretchen they shouldn't be having a child."

"But they are, they made a mistake and now there doing the responsible thing. You should be supportive."

"How can I be supportive when the girl I lo…" He stopped before he finished the sentence and hurt Gretchen.

" The girl you love is having a child with your best friend and now that little piece of you that thought you and Joey would get back together has been crushed, am I right?"

"Gretchen I'm sorry but yes you are absolutely right I just thought we'd eventually find our way back to each other."

"Dawson step out of fantasy land and grow up. Your two best friends are going through a difficult time and they need you to stop being selfish and start being a friend." Gretchen then walked back into the restaurant leaving Dawson to ponder what she just said.

"I'm tired of being everyone's friend and I'm tired of being understanding. This is one thing I won't forgive." Dawson said to himself and begun to walk home.

"Dawson wait" Joey called out

"What do you want Joey?"

"Dawson I need you to support this, I need all the support I can get."

"Joey you've made your choice. You've ruined your life and thrown anything we had away."

"Dawson this isn't about us, we've been over for a long time. This is about you being a friend. Were to be best friends which means you should be there for me and Pacey."

"Joey I can't support something that is completely wrong."

"You don't have to agree with us just be there for us."

"I can't do that and if you don't understand why, you don't understand me."

"Oh I understand you; you're a selfish spoiled jerk." She then turned around and walked back into the restaurant.

"Whatever" Dawson muttered and started walking home.
