Love Letters:

Chapter #11

(Pacey's pov)

" Penny for your thoughts, Potter?", I ask when the two of us are finally alone. Jen and Jack both left about a half hour ago with Grams. Not before we all made plans to take Alexander to the zoo on Friday. That should be a fun day for all of us. Those two promised they would be back first thing in the morning to hangout with Joey and myself. She actually has another doctors appointment coming up and I volunteered to drive Jo there. Hope Potter isn't wasting a second worrying about Dawson. Why should she? This is our time to be happy together finally. I'm not about to let him ruin things and neither should she.

" I'm only wondering what our little one will be like, Pacey.", confesses Joey while moving to stand in my arms. The both of us stare out across the darkened creek in silence for a few minutes. That is a relief, glad to know she's not letting herself get worked up over Dawson. To be honest, I have found myself wondering whether we're having a girl or a boy. Personally, I'd love having a mini me running around. Something tells me that Potter is secretly hoping for a girl on the other hand. A little girl would be nice, she would have me wrapped around her tiny little fingers too.

" Are you hoping we'll have a boy or a girl, Jo?", I wonder while placing an innocent kiss on her cheek. Honestly, I'll be happy with either so long as our baby is healthy and happy. If things continue to go well between the both of us, I've been considering asking Joey to move in with me. This is not something that I am going to rush. Lord knows I wouldn't want to risk scaring Potter off. I'll give it a few months and see where we're at. For now, I'm happy spending a few nights a week at the B&B.

" I'm hoping for a girl.", admits Joey with a chuckle. Some how I knew that would be her answer. I'd be alright with having a girl. If she is anything like her mother, she'll be beautiful and stubborn as a doorknob. I'm almost certain that I won't like any of her boyfriends. Secretly, I'm debating about not letting her date until she's eighteen. Not sure voicing this will go over too well with Joey. Never imagined the two of us would ever have our happy ending. Things are getting better between the both of us by the day.

Resting my arms around Joey's waist, I whisper in her ear," I'd be alright with that."

Grasping hold of my hand, Joey leads me back up the dock and inside the house," Were you going to stay over tonight, Pacey?"

" Yeah, sure. If you want me to I will.", I answer while allowing Joey to lead me upstairs. Pulling back the blankets on her bed, we both climb under. Reaching over, I turn off the light. A smirk curls its way across my lips when Joey hugs my chest. This is what I have been missing. With luck I'll never have to worry about that again. Took us a while but we finally found our way back to one another. I'm not about to put my relationship in jeopardy anytime soon.

" Good night, Pacey.", mumbles Joey in a tired voice before closing her eyes. She looks exhausted. Then again, we did have a long day. Within minutes I can feel Joey's breathing slow and I know that she is fast asleep. Staying up a while longer, I place my hand over Joey's heart to feel it beating. A few more minutes pass before I finally decide to close my eyes and succumb to sleep.

(Pacey's thoughts)

Joey and I have come a long way over the years. There was once a time when Joey would find an excuse to leave whenever I showed up. Things had been a little tense between us at one point during our breakup. That would be my fault, I'm the one who spat such hate filled wards at Joey. Words she never deserved to hear in the first place. Why it is she ever decided to give me a second shot, I'll never know.

Making the decision to finally swallow my pride and make the first move was the best choice I ever made. Jen had been nudging me into doing something for a while. Not knowing what else to do, one day I picked up a pen and piece of paper. Before I knew what had happened, I'd already written Joey a three page letter. Never thought that I would ever actually hear back from her. For whatever reason she decided to write me a letter in return. The rest is all history.

(Joey's thoughts)

Part of me had always hoped Pacey and I would find our way back to one another. The day his letter came in the mail, I had been shocked. Hell, I remember going out and buying a bottle of wine before ever considering opening the letter. At the time, I had no idea why he had written me. We hadn't seen let alone spoken to one another much since we broke up at Prom. wasn't much left to say after Pacey spat out all of his insecurities and supposed short comings at me.

After reading Pacey's letter, I gave myself a few days before responding. At first, I hadn't been all to sure of what I'd wanted to say. Finally one night, I sat down and forced myself to think long and heard and exactly what I had wanted to write to Pacey. It was nearly a rocky start between the two of us. Somehow we found our way back to one another, just as I had always hoped we would. The more time I spend with Pacey, I fall in love with him a tiny bit more. He makes me happy and always has. ...
