Part 11
Potter residence- Dawson, Alex, and Joey watching the movie
continued...Joey looks over at them, they're both asleep, she picks Alex
up and puts him to bed, she then goes to Dawson and taps him gently,
waking him up...
Joey: Hi there. Have a nice nap? ( she smiles )
Dawson: Was I sleeping?
Joey: Pretty soundly. ( she smiles ) I just put Alex to bed.
Dawson: That's good. Do you think he liked me?
Joey: Are you kidding? He adores you.
Dawson: ( smiles ) Well, I guess I should be going.
Joey: Are you sure? You look pretty tired. Why don't you just crash on
the couch? I don't think your parents will mind. At least there's no
chance of you falling asleep on your drive home.
Dawson: Okay. Let me just call and tell them where I'm at. ( he heads
towards the phone )
He comes back in the living room...
Dawson: Okay. It's all settled. My mom told me to thank you for
looking out for me. ( he smiles )
Joey: Anytime. ( she smiles ) Well, let me go get you a blanket and a
pillow. ( she leaves )
Dawson sits back down on the couch, Joey comes back into the room with a
blanket and pillow...
Joey: Here you go, Dawson.
Dawson: Thanks, Joey. ( he lays down ) Goodnight.
Joey: Goodnight, Dawson. ( she smiles )
Dawson drifts off to sleep, Joey just watches him for a few minutes,
Bessie and Bodie come home....
Bessie: Jo...
Joey: Shh... ( she points to Dawson on the couch )
Bessie: ( talking very lowly ) Why is Dawson on our sofa?
Joey: He was really tired and I didn't want him driving home, so I said
he could sleep here. Is that okay?
Bessie: Sure. I'm really glad things are getting better between you
two.
Joey: Me too. So, how was your romantic evening?
Bessie: Absolutely wonderful. How were things here? Is Dawson a good
babysitter?
Joey: He's a natural. Alex has made a new friend. ( she smiles )
Bessie: That's great.
Joey: Well, I'm heading to bed now. Goodnight.
Bessie: Goodnight, Joey. Thanks for watching Alex.
Joey passes by Dawson on the couch, he's sleeping peacefully, Joey looks
down at him and smiles, she gives him a small kiss on the forehead....
Joey: ( whispers ) Sweet dreams, Dawson. I won't give up on us.
She goes to her room and goes to sleep.
The next morning- Joey wakes up and sees Dawson still asleep on the
couch, she goes into the kitchen to get some breakfast, Alex follows
her...
Joey: Hi Alex. We've got to be quiet because Dawson is sleeping, okay?
Alex nods in agreement. Joey fixes them some mini-pancakes and pours a
little syrup on them. They start eating, Dawson walks in....
Dawson: Good morning.
Alex and Joey's eyes light up...
Joey: Good morning. Did you sleep okay?
Dawson: Yes I did. I must say it's a nice change not waking up to the
sounds of morning sickness. Do you think I could just stay here for the
next nine months? ( he smiles )
Joey: Hmm, I don't think that's going to happen. Somehow, I don't think
the adults will approve. But I do have something to make your mornings
more pleasant while your mom is still pregnant. I'll be right back.
She leaves the room, comes back with earplugs in her hands...
Joey: Here you go. I used these when Bessie was pregnant. Really made
the mornings more enjoyable. ( she smiles )
Dawson: Thanks. I 'm sure I will put these to good use. ( he smiles )
Joey: Do you want some breakfast?
Dawson: No. That's okay. I better get home and see if my mom or dad
need help with anything. Thanks again for letting me spend the night.
Joey: No problem. ( she smiles ) Alex, say bye to Dawson.
Alex hugs Dawson, Dawson is touched....
Alex: Bye bye.
Dawson: Bye, Alex. I'll see you later, buddy. Bye Joey. Here why don't
you keep "ET" your house for a while. I'm sure Alex will want to watch
it again.
Joey: Okay, Dawson. Thanks. ( she smiles ) I'll see you at school
tomorrow.
Dawson: Yeah. See you later.
He leaves, Joey watches him. Alex comes up to her....
Alex: "ET"
Joey rolls her eyes and smiles. They go into the livingroom and start
watching the movie again....
