I do not own the characters from Dirty Dancing. Only the characters that I made up myself. This story is the sequel to Same People Different Story. I think the title is obvious. This story is 17 years after the first story, which means it's 2011. You will probably see some bits from the movie coming into this story.
Johnny's view
The night was one of the best ones I ever had. Having Baby back in my life and by my side, together with my kids, I couldn't be happier right now. I felt home again, I came home again. I thought about a bit earlier, and I smiled happily. I wasn't rusty at all, it felt all so natural with Baby. It felt so great to see her face when I wake up, I missed it so much, I want to wake up next to her every single day for the rest of my life. It made me think about something else for a second, then I shook my head a little.
"You're bringing us to school dad?" My son asked, I looked at him. "I don't know if your mom wants that." I said, now I looked at Baby with a smile. She looks at her son with a smile. "Please mom." The 2 kids said at once. It made me chuckle a bit. Baby looked at Emma and then at Paul again. "Oh, alright." She said, she looks at me now, I'm still smiling. "The keys hang up at the door. But first eat and then get dressed. It's still a bit early." She said and sipped her coffer, she kept looking at me. I gave her a cheeky smile and she giggled a bit.
Her eyes are twinkling and it made my heart to skip a beat. She looks a lot happier now than she did yesterday. I heard Emma giggling and looked at her for a moment, I smiled and stroked her cheek. "I'm glad you're back dad." She said and she looks at me. "I'm happy to be back with my girls and my boy." I said and looked at my son now. Paul was eating, he looked at me for a moment and smiled. I eat further and noticed myself how bad I have been eating in the last years, Baby always made sure I was eating well because otherwise I just would forget about that. This was a real happy moment, a moment I longed for since 8 years now.
Baby looked at the time. "You 2 need to get ready for school now. Have you made lunch?" Baby asked as she stood up. "No." Emma said. I looked at them. "Damn it, I will quickly make you some." Baby said as she walked to the fridge. "Here." I said as I took my wallet out my pocket. The 3 looked at me when I gave both my children each 20 bucks for lunch at school. "Dad, this is too much." Paul said. "Keep it, then you can buy things you like to have." I said as I put my wallet back in my pocket. Baby shook her head a little, but she knows she couldn't go against it either.
It also surprises her a little, because I never could give someone money just like it was just a small thing to do. I felt a little strange while looking at Baby, she leaned against the kitchen counter as she is still looking at me. "Thanks dad." Emma said and stood up to give me a kiss on my cheek. I look at her now and smiled happily. Paul stood up and gave me a short hug. "Go get your bags kids." Baby said. They walked to their room. I stood up and walked to Baby. She laid her hand on my cheek and smiled. "It's so strange to see you giving money to your kids." She whispered.
"Well, I have plenty of it now. Compared to years ago." I whispered, I looked in her eyes and smiled happily. "I hope it didn't got into your head though, I want my Johnny to stay as he was years ago." She whispered and laid her free hand on my naked chest. I took a deep breath and laid my hand over hers. "No worries, I'm still not used to it. You know my habits, I still have them, no matter how much money I have now. I'm still your Johnny, the one you know best." I whispered and leaned in to kiss her.
"You have a smartphone?" She asked. "No, I hate those things." I answered, she chuckled a bit. "You still should be getting one. I know you will be going back to California soon and a smartphone is an easier way to keep in touch with me." She said. I kept looking at her and my other hand was stroking her cheek. "You know, then you can call me from wherever you want and whenever you want. I can text you too, or we can text the whole day long." She said, I leaned in again and kissed her again, I felt how she kissed me back and her hands go through my hair. It made me think about something else again but she stopped the kiss.
"I want you to keep calling me, every day, even often if you feel like it. I want you to call me whenever you want to hear my voice. Or text me when you miss me." She said and paused for a second. I only listened to her. "I don't want to lose you again." She looked down. "That's the last thing that will happen, you won't lose me again, the kids will not lose their dad again. I won't let it happen anymore." I whispered, she looks at me and I saw the love in her eyes. "You have time today? Do you have lessons to give?" I asked.
"Lessons are this afternoon and in the evening." She answered. "When I come back from bringing the kids to school, we're going to look for a smartphone. You got to help me with it though." I said and she giggled a bit. "I will." She said. "And then I will take you out for lunch, remember the little diner outside New York where we went often to?" I asked. "Yeah, it's still there. I sometimes take the kids there for dinner." She said with a smile. "We're going to have lunch there, as a first date. If you want to call it a first date again." I said, I saw her giggling and I smiled so happy. I always made her happy with these little things. I thought about yesterday and still felt the regret, I took a deep breath and grabbed her head to kiss her again.
