“Joey, can I ask you a question?” Pacey asked after she finally answered her door..

“Pacey, do you know it is 2:30 in the morning?” she informed him sleepily.

“I couldn’t sleep--” Joey interrupted him

“So you wanted to wake me up, too? How considerate.”

“It’s really important. I need to talk to you.”

“Fine, Pace. Make it quick.” They both went over to the sofa and sat down. “So what is it?”

“I want to tell Laura that I’m her father.” Joey swallowed hard. Pacey was just staring at her, waiting for a response.

“Pacey, are you sure? She is leading a normal life. Laura doesn’t need any confusion in it. My answer is… I don’t want her to know yet. Why, Pace? Because on her birthday… she should know.” Pacey smiled and the news. He had been up all night thinking. Laura’s birthday was in 3 days, and that would be a great present. Pacey was starting to forgive Joey but he wasn’t going to let Joey know. Yet.

“Okay. That sounds like a good idea,” Pacey finally said.

“But you have to do me one favor first,” Joey sounded serious.

“What is it?” Pacey asked worriedly.

“Let me go back to sleep.”

“Granted.”

“And, oh, Pace?”

“What?”

“Can you sleep with me tonight? For sleeps’ sake? I have been having really terrible dreams and I need to be by someone I can trust.” Pacey stared into Joey’s eyes and saw that she was scared. She probably hadn’t dated very much with Laura to take care of, and felt like she had no one she could feel really safe with.

“Okay, Potter.” They both went upstairs to Joey’s room for the sake of sleep only.
