I do not own Dirty Dancing and its characters.
Jake's at Penny's now, Johnny went to Rodriguez's cabin and knocks.
"Enter." Johnny opens the door and smiles at Rodriguez, who's sitting down, reading a book.
"Hey Johnny." He says.
"Hey, how are you doing now?" Johnny asks, Rodriguez looks closely at Johnny and starts to smile wider now.
"I'm good. It doesn't hurt anymore, in a few days I can start working again, though I've missed two third of my salary now." He says with a little sigh.
"I'm so sorry for that." Johnny says as he puts his hands in his pockets. Rodriguez waves it away with a smile.
"I don't have to worry too much, I'm a little more fortunate than Baby." He says. Johnny sits down and sighs a little.
"How did it go last night?" Rodriguez asks.
"It went good, the lift failed though but the rest went good." Johnny says.
"Good, I'm glad to know that, but." He says and he smiles in a cheeky way.
"How did it go with Baby? I can see something has changed." Rodriguez says before Johnny could ask questions.
"I told her my feelings, and I stayed the night. Well, until very early in the morning because my father has forbidden me to be around the entertainment staff." Johnny says. Rodriguez's eyebrows went up again.
"It's great to hear that Baby has finally let you in and that you told her your feelings. I think you both look great together. But what's about your father?" Rodriguez asks curiously. Johnny looks down and sighs.
"I went to get him to look at Pen, my father feels himself too good for being around the staff. He thinks that people like you, and Baby, are below him and he told me that I've nothing to do with any of you. He forbid me to come here again." Johnny explains and looks down.
"I'm so sorry to hear that Johnny. Your father is a great doctor, but as a person he has a bad judgment." Rodriguez says, Johnny didn't reply to that. He find his father acting ridiculous.
"But you and Baby are together now?" Rodriguez asks.
"I think so, she's amazing Rod." Johnny says and Rodriguez chuckles a little about it when seeing Johnny's face.
"Never has anyone been like this about her." Johnny's eyebrows went up now.
The door opens and Lisa walks inside. She sees Johnny and smiles at him.
"Good morning." She says in a teasing way.
"Good morning Lisa. How's Penny?" Johnny asks.
"She's alright, you can visit her. Your father just left." Lisa says, Johnny gives her a nod and looks at Rodriguez again.
"See ya later." Johnny says with a little smile.
"See ya." Rodriguez says and Johnny walks away. Lisa looked after him and then at Rodriguez again. She giggles and he rolls his eyes.
"I told you I was right. I've never seen Baby being so happy before." Lisa says.
"She hasn't been here yet, she must have been really busy." He says and on that moment the door opened and they see Baby walking inside, who's smiling at them. Lisa looks at Rodriguez and winks. He chuckles again as Baby went to him for a hug.
Johnny went to look at Penny, she smiles as she sees him coming inside.
"Hey Johnny." She says. He smiles a little at her.
"Hey. How are you feeling now?" He asks, she pushed herself a bit up.
"Much better now, thanks to your father." Penny says, Johnny looks down for a second and then back at her.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know." Johnny says.
"You couldn't know Johnny. It's okay." She says, he puts his hands in his pockets while smiling a bit. Penny noticed the change, she hasn't seen Baby yet.
In the meantime in Rodriguez's cabin.
"What did I heard?" Rodriguez says teasingly, she looks at his face and starts to blush.
"Who told you?" She asks.
"Johnny did, he was here right before you came. He went to check on Pen." Rodriguez says.
"Oh, I need to check on her as well. I might go now since I have a lesson to give in a few minutes." Baby says and walks to the door. It was just an excuse to see Johnny again. She's missing him, which is a weird sensation to her since they saw each other some hours ago. Rodriguez chuckles about it, he never has seen Baby like this before.
"Go to your man." He says, Lisa giggles a little, Baby rolls her eyes.
"You were right Lissy. I've never seen her like this before." Rodriguez says when Baby has walked away.
"It must be something special between them. Baby's changing, he's making her a better person, the person she always wanted to be." Lisa says as she sits down. He looks at her with a smile.
"I'm happy she finally found that what she truly needs. I just wish they didn't had to keep it a secret. You know the rule." He says, Lisa only nods and is thinking. He looks at her.
"What are you thinking of?" He asks, she looks at him again and sighs.
"Nothing important. I need to go now, back to work. I see you later." She says and gives him a short hug. He sees that something is different but he didn't asked about it, he just watch her walking away.
Baby knocks on Penny's door.
"Enter." Penny says and Baby came inside. She looks at Penny with a smile and then she sees Johnny. He smiles at her, she smiles back. Penny looks at Baby and that at Johnny and back. She knows something is going on.
"How are you feeling?" Baby asks as she went to the bed.
"I'm fine Baby, Dr. Castle told me I'm gonna be fine. That I still can have children." Penny says and Baby smiles a little wider.
"That's great, that's really great." Baby says and they hug for a moment.
"So, how did it go last night?" Penny asks curiously. Hoping they will tell her that they're together now.
"Good." Baby answers immediately. She knows what Penny wants to know, but Baby isn't telling her just yet.
"The lift failed, but it was good." Johnny answers, he looks at Penny for a second and then back at Baby. He couldn't help but look at her and seeing her happy smile. He inhales a bit through his nose. It's silent for a moment.
"I guess I gonna go now." Johnny says.
"See ya." Penny says with a smile, he smiles at her.
"See ya." He says, he walks to the door and looks at Baby one more time. The door closes and Baby sits down.
"So you're gonna be alright?" She asks, not knowing where to start. She wants to tell Penny everything.
"Baby? Are you with him now?" Penny asks curiously, she starts to smile wider again. Penny smiles now and hugs Baby.
"Will you be careful? Don't make things look too obvious." Penny says in a serious tone now. Baby chuckles a little.
"Don't you worry Pen, I know what I'm doing." Baby says and they hug again.
"How was he?" She asks.
"I'm going now, you're getting too curious and I've a lesson in a moment." Baby says and stands up. Penny giggles a little.
"Take good rest Pen, you need it." Baby says as she walks to the door.
"I will. See ya later Baby." Penny says.
"See ya." Baby says and walks outside.
She closes the door and sees Johnny standing against the cabin. She stops in front of him and he smiles at her. He longs to kiss her, but he holds himself down. She sees his desire and is really amazed about it. She takes a deep breath.
"I got to go now. I've got a lesson with the Cramers in two minutes and they'll kill each other when I'm not there." Baby says, he chuckles a little.
"When you got to go, then you must go." He says, Baby smiles at him and walks away.
"Baby!" He nearly shouts, Baby stops and turns to look at him. She looks in his eyes. Johnny smiles at her as he looks in her eyes. She starts to smile at him as well. She walks away quickly while his eyes follow her.
