This is a story based on Dirty Dancing mixed with a little from Road House and a bit from Gilmore Girls with a cowboy theme and some of my own mind, though some bits (especially most horses) come from my real life (past and present). So I do not own anything that is related to the movies/series except for that from my own mind and life.

I do hope you enjoy the story and leave a review if you feel like writing one.
P.S.: My English is still not the best since I'm not native in English so please bare with me on some mistakes I made.

Thanks and enjoy.


Chapter 12

About a week went by. Baby and Penny worked on the computer corner a lot, and after work, Baby brought Penny back to the cabin. Where most of the times Billy is waiting for Penny. Then Baby goes to the stables, she trained the barrel run first and after that, she and Johnny went to the staff quarters' dance room or the dancing studios to train the routines of the Mambo Johnny had in his mind. Baby's phone went off when she and Johnny were taking a break. Johnny gave her a kiss while holding his towel.

"It's my father." Baby said.
"Answer it." Johnny whispered as he stood close to Baby.
"Hey dad." Baby said as she answered the call.
"Hey Baby." Jake said, Johnny laid his arms around Baby's waist.
"I call you to say we are arriving this afternoon. Max phoned me a few days ago, he told me what happened with Penny." Jake said.
"Is that why you come earlier? You just want to check on Penny?" Baby asked.

Johnny felt how the tension in her body was building up. His hand caressed her lower back, he wanted to let her know that he is there for her. Baby looks at him and tried to smile. He smiled at her.

"Yes, I would like to check on Penny. You sound like you're busy." Jake said.
"No, I'm not busy. So, you could get a holiday earlier." Baby said.
"Yeah, your mom and I are happy that we can see you again. So how are you?" Jake asked.
"I'm fine, Penny is doing better, in about four weeks she has the checkup at the hospital." Baby said.
"Good, that's good to know. Well, I need to end the call now. Mom wants to go on, we were just having a break." Jake said.
"Is Lisa coming too?" Baby asked.
"Yeah, but she will leave if she finds it really boring there." Jake said.
"She will love it here, since a lot of the same kind like her are here." Baby said sarcastically.
"I'm ending the call now dad, I'm going for a walk. See you this afternoon." Baby said.

She ended the call before her dad could say something and she gave a deep sigh. She laid her phone down. Johnny kissed her.

"I needed that." Baby whispered, laying her arms around his neck and smiled at him.
"So, your parents coming earlier than expected?" Johnny asked.
"Yeah, they will arrive this afternoon. My sister is coming too." Baby said.
"That's nice." Johnny said.
"You think? Dad arranged anything to come earlier after Max called him some days ago and told him about Penny's broken ankle." Baby said.

She was becoming annoyed again. She looks at his chest and let him go.

"So, he does it for Penny?" Johnny asked.
"Yes, not for me or for having an earlier holiday, but because Penny's ankle is broken." Baby said.
"That's weird." Johnny said.
"Dad always had a weak spot for Pen, he helped her a lot as well after I brought her home with me. Let's see how it goes." Baby said as she took a towel.
"It will be fine Baby. Relax." Johnny said.

She looked at him for a moment. Then she gave a little sigh and dried her face. Johnny grabbed her, while turning the music on with the remote, he moved against her and smiled in a cheeky way.

"Hmm. Now my thoughts are changing into something more pleasant." Baby whispered.

She moves with him, he chuckled and kissed her. They danced a little longer like this.

"You're making me crazy." He whispered as he went down to kiss her belly.
"Let's go to my cabin." He whispered.
"Oh Johnny. I would love to, but I need to shower and check on Penny, telling her the news and then take her to the main building, because she probably will want to wait for my parents." Baby was babbling a bit.

Johnny lifted her up and laid her down on the couch.

"Then we do it here." He whispered, being very baldly. Baby giggled a bit.
"We can't, what if someone sees us?" Baby whispered, Johnny laid on top of her and kissed her.
"Alright, let's go to your cabin." Baby whispered.

They quickly went to Johnny's cabin. After some time.

"Why are you so persuasive that I never can say no to you?" Baby whispered, Johnny chuckled.
"You love it." Johnny whispered, Baby giggled.

Johnny kissed her slow, leaned on his elbows while still laying on top of her. Then he stopped and looked in her eyes.

"I love you Baby." He whispered.

It was the first time he said the words, Baby looked in his eyes. Johnny swallowed for a second. Then Baby smiled and her hands grabbed his cheeks.

"I love you too Johnny." She whispered, he smiled happily and kissed her slow.
"Hmm." Johnny made the sound as he moved.
"You're on fire." Baby whispered.

He moved and Baby closed her eyes. Then there was a knock on the door.

"I'm busy!" Johnny shouted.

Johnny kissed her, trying to keep it a bit quiet.

"Johnny! Come out, you need to get to do this. I want you to carry the bags for the special guests that have arrived just a moment ago." It was Neil.
"One minute!" Johnny shouted.

Baby smiled at him, he kissed her for a second and got off the bed. Baby looked at him as he putted his pants on and walked to the door. He walked outside, closing the door behind him so Neil wouldn't see Baby. Neil looked at him.

"What have you been doing?" He asked, Johnny only crossed his arms.
"Not important. Can you be in two minutes at the main building? They are waiting for their escort." Neil said.
"Why isn't Billy doing this?" Johnny asked.
"All the staff is working hard with receiving the new guests, Billy needs to be in the main building, preparing for the second opening show of the season. Max requested you because you are strong and because you are off now from your own duties." Neil said, Johnny gave a sigh.
"Alright, give me a minute to get dressed." Johnny said and turned around.
"Have you seen Baby?" Neil asked.
"No, maybe she's with Penny." Johnny said.

He walked inside, closing the door behind him. Baby was already dressed and looked at him. He walked to her and gave her a kiss. He quickly got dressed and sat down to put his boots on. Baby grabbed his hat and gave it to him. He smiled and gave her a kiss again. She looked after him as he stepped outside again, Neil had been waiting for him. Baby looked out of the window and waited until they were out of sight. She quickly went to her cabin.

"Hey Baby. I heard your parents arrived." Penny said with a big smile.
"Yeah, quicker than I expected. Dad called me an hour ago." Baby said as she went to change clothes.
"How was training?" Penny asked, looking at Baby.
"Short, then dad called and then Johnny and I got hooked at each other and went to his cabin." Baby said and Penny giggled.
"I thought I would have had time to get a shower and prepare for when my parents would arrive. But no." Baby said as she took her shirt off, and grabbed the deodorant.
"You can blame Johnny for that you know." Penny said in a teasing way.
"I just can't say no to him. Isn't that weird?" Baby said as she took a new shirt, Penny giggled again.
"You're in love Baby." Penny said as she looked how Baby get dressed.
"He said I love you for the first time." Baby said with a big smile.
"Wow, well that is something new." Penny said and she smiled at Baby.
"And then we started again." Baby said as she was putting her boots on.
"My gosh." Penny said, giggling again.
"And then Neil knocked on the door while we were busy." Baby said, Penny's mouth dropped.
"Johnny finished first before he went outside. I heard everything, Max wants Johnny to carry my parent's bags and escort them. Why Johnny?" Baby asked.
"Well everyone is really busy now, Billy said that this morning. Johnny only works in the stables." Penny said.
"Yeah I know that Pen. I wonder how my parents will react when they see Johnny." Baby said and stood up.
"We can find that out." Penny said.
"Let's go." Baby said.

The girls arrived at the main building. Baby saw her parents in the line of cars, waiting to be helped.

"We're not too late yet for the first reactions." Penny whispered, Baby shook her head and pushed the wheelchair.
"Hey Baby, Penny. It's good to see you again." It was Marge who first caught them.
"Hey." Penny said. Marge hugged them both. Jake walked to them now.
"Hey you two." Jake said who hugged Penny first and then Baby.
"You both look good, the sun is working on you two." Jake tried to be nice by giving a compliment.
"Thanks dad. You arrived earlier than I expected." Baby said.
"Yeah, we thought it would take another hour but then we saw the sign already. Where is Max?" Jake asked.
"He will come soon I think." Baby said.

Jake sagged through his knees and looked at Penny.

"How are you feeling?" Jake asked.
"I'm great." Penny said with a smile.

Max walked to the car, with Neil and Johnny behind him.

"After all these years, I finally got you up on my mountain." Max said, Jake stood straight again and turned to Max.
"Hey Max." Jake said.

They shook hands while happily smiling. Lisa's eyes caught Johnny, she smiled while biting her lower lip. Baby sag through her knees next to Penny who was smiling at Jake.

"Look at Lisa." Baby whispered, Penny did so and then she looked at who Lisa was looking and saw Johnny.
"Oh lord." Penny whispered.

Johnny was looking at Marge and Jake, then he looked at Baby who was whispering with Penny. He saw Lisa watching him and he gave a sigh and looked at the ground.

"He has noticed it too now." Penny whispered.

Baby looked at Johnny who was looking at Baby again. He was having a questioning face, Baby only pulled up her shoulders.

"Johnny, get the bags." Max said.
"I got the best cabin saved for you. If you want, there's dancing at the gazebo in a bit." Max said.
"Take it easy on him Max." Marge said with a smile.
"Five weeks here, and it will feel like a year." Max said.

Lisa was still eye candying Johnny. Marge noticed Johnny too, she looked at him and gave him a normal smile. Johnny quickly walked to the trunk.

"Be right back." Baby whispered. She walked to the trunk as well when Johnny opened it.
"Your parents?" Johnny assumed.
"Yeah, good guess." Baby whispered.
"Your mother smiled at me." Johnny whispered.
"Yeah, and she's the easiest of the three. Lisa is eye candying you." Baby whispered in a teasing way, Johnny rolled his eyes.
"They never change." Johnny whispered.
"No worries, I can handle Lisa." Baby whispered.

Johnny looked over the car and watched how Baby's parents were still talking to Max and Lisa stood next to Penny and looking around at the play field. Penny saw Johnny looking and waved a little and gave him a wink. Johnny ducked away again and kissed Baby short. She chuckled a little as she took a bag out.

"You don't have to do that Baby." Jake said as he saw Baby helping Johnny.
"I don't mind dad. You must be exhausted from the trip." Baby said, changing the subject.

Jake looked at Johnny and he got the watchful eye. His smile disappeared, his serious face came up and he made himself a bit taller when Johnny stood straight. Johnny closed the trunk.

"Boy, go and park the car will you." Jake said.

He gave Johnny the keys, then he laid his arm around Baby and walked away. Johnny looked at the keys, then he looked at Baby and her father, giving a short sigh and walked to the driver's seat to sit down. Marge walked to the door and looked at Johnny, he started the car and jumped a little when he saw her. Marge smiled and leaned in for a moment.

"Don't pay attention to my husband. Just treat my daughter nice and it will be fine." She whispered and gave him a wink.

She then walked to Penny and Lisa. Johnny was surprised and wondered how she knew about him and Baby. He drove the car away and Baby looked after him. She walked to Penny. They helped to get the stuff to the cabin. Baby walked inside with Penny and they looked around.

"So this is what Neil could have given you if you went for his offer." Penny whispered, they both laughed a bit.
"What's so funny ladies?" It was Jake who came in.
"Oh nothing dad." Baby said.
"It's really nice here." He said.
"Yeah it really is. You will love it here." Penny said with a smile.
