I do not own Dirty Dancing and its characters.
Baby walks to the side of the stage. Johnny smiles and he turns to face her. Baby puts the microphone down and gives Lisa the record she's holding the whole time. Lisa smiles at her sister and puts the record in the player. Baby looks at Johnny and he smiles, the music starts and he listens. It's their song, he motions at Baby to come to him with his index finger. She grins a little as she walks to him. He takes position but presses her against him, they look in each other's eyes and then, all of a sudden, he makes her dip. The entertainment staff cheers. Rodriguez whistles, which made Penny giggle a bit. He looks at her and grins, she smiles at him and he lays his arms around her. It was a moment, but they might have found each other. Baby smiles at Johnny, and she turns. He grabs her arm and lays it around his neck. Billy went to sit down at his parents' table. Johnny looks in Baby's eyes, he feels complete again, Baby feels at home again. His hand glides slowly down to her waist, her hand strokes his chest a little, he gives her a kiss on her nose and then he push her away.
They start to dance the Mambo. A little bit different than the routine they did at the Sheldrake. Johnny improvises some steps and Baby nods at him in approval. She's so amazed in how great he became at leading and at dancing. He made her twirl away and then pulled her back, she smiles, then he did it again and she laughs. He pants a little as he looks at her joyful and happy face. God, he loves this woman so much. After some turns, she lays her hand on the back of his neck, he lays his arm around her waist and they turn around several time while their other arms are extended. He made her spin in an underarm turn several times really fast and then they turn. Marge smiles happily.
"He got this from me." She whispers, Billy and Jake look at her. Billy chuckles a little bit and Jake shakes his head. Johnny starts to grin now, she looks at him and knows he's up to something. They turn and he made her do an underarm turn and then pulled her against him, moving his hips against her. She grins as they dance a little dirty. The entertainment staff went totally nuts now. They turn and then Johnny lifts her up and turns around several times. Baby did another underarm turn and Johnny kissed her hand. Baby had a routine in mind, but that is totally gone since Johnny is doing the dance his way, but she loves it. It's the very first time that he shows how great of a leader he truly is and that he loves it so much as well. He looks in her eyes and let her hand go.
"Yeah!" He shouts and jumps off the stage. He turns his head to look at her, she giggles and smiles at him. He starts to dance the Cuban rhythm mixed with soul dancing, the steps that they've been doing so many times at the parties at night. The guests are watching him, Moe's looking angry, Johnny moves his hips and looks at Baby again, she's still giggling. He went on his knees and turns around and bangs his head several times. Then he jumps up into the arms of the entertainment staff. They all pat him on his shoulder. He turns and dance back to the stage, the entertainment staff following, dancing in sync with Johnny. Baby's moving her hips as she's watching him with a proud smile. Then he stands still after a twirl and bites his lip while he looks at her. She sees his face, and gives him a nod. She knows what he wants to do now. Rodriguez and Ramiro quickly went to the stage and help Baby off. They put her on her feet and she runs to Johnny, he lifts her up when she jumped and she smiles widely when she's in the air. No hesitation, no stepping back, nothing. Johnny's in full control and after a moment he let her down on her feet again, everyone is clapping for them. Billy has a huge, proud smile on his face. He stands up while clapping and he whistles too. Lisa came to him and he looks at her, they kiss once and then look at Johnny and Baby again. Baby gives Johnny a kiss on his cheek as she grins at him, he smiles happily and gave her a soft kiss on her lips. They start to dance a mix of the Mambo basic steps and dirty, the staff kids copying the dancing and pulling the guests off their chairs. Max looks at Tito, who's conducting the band.
"You've got sheet music of this stuff?" Max asks surprised, Tito only smiled at him as he dances. Max shakes his head in disbelieve.
Penny went to Jake, he looks at her with a smile and lays his hands on her upper arms. She grabs his arms and gives him a kiss on his cheek.
"I never knew who actually knocked you up." Jake says, Penny looks at his face.
"Robbie did, I told him, he refused to help me. If it wasn't for your son, I would have lost my job and was left pregnant. You have an amazing son, doc." Penny says with a smile.
"I've misjudged a few people." Jake says.
"You did indeed, but Baby would forgive you if you apologize to her. She's not a bad person and your son is a very lucky man. If you don't mind, I'm going for a dance now." Penny says and walk away, she wants to dance with Rodriguez. Who on his turn walks to Jake as well.
Jake sees him and he smiled a little.
"No more pain?" Jake asks, putting his hands in his pockets.
"No, sir. I want to thank you for helping me, helping Penny and not telling Max about it." Rodriguez says with a smile. Jake looks at his face.
"My son…" Jake says, Rodriguez looks at him with a smile.
"Is amazing. Johnny's a great guy, I've never seen Baby so happy before and that's thanks to your son. Without Baby, my situation would've been worse, and thanks to Lisa for getting you, thanks to your son for helping by taking my place for the show at the Sheldrake hotel so Baby and I wouldn't lose our summer bonus and next year's gig. Which is off now anyway since Baby got fired." Rodriguez says, looking at Jake for a second again. He pats Jake's shoulder once.
"They belong together." He says and walks away to look for Penny.
Jake inhales deeply, they haven't revealed much about Baby. He guess they want him to find out who she truly is. He could see how much the staff seem to like and even love Baby and his youngest son. Moe stands up angry and walks away, Sam looks at Johnny and had no clue that he's so good at dancing. Marge lays her hand on Sam's shoulder and smiles. Sam looks at Marge.
"Maybe you shouldn't be so focused on trying to get my son into your bed." Marge whispers, Sam looks down and starts to blush. Marge walks away, looking for her husband.
Baby looks at Johnny and smiles. She nudges her head towards the door and he nods while smiling. They long to be alone now, but she needs to tell him her news and she wants to tell him that she's not going back to her mother. She takes his hand and pulls him with her to the door. Jake walks to them and stops Baby by touching her shoulder. Baby stops and looks at him, swallowing once. Johnny holds her hand and looks at his father as well.
"I know you weren't the one who got Penny and Rodriguez in trouble." Jake says.
"Yeah." Baby says silently, Johnny looks at his father and smiles.
"When I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong." Jake says, Baby swallows once. She couldn't believe her own ears right now. Has she gotten his approval? Jake smiles and looks at his son now.
"You looked wonderful out there." Jake says, Johnny let Baby's hand go and hugs his father tightly.
"Thanks dad. You have no idea how much this means to me." Johnny whispers, Jake weeps a little bit.
"I had no idea how great of a man you truly are son. I'm so proud of you." Jake whispers, Baby watched them with a smile as she waited. Johnny lets him go and looks at her.
"Dad, this is my girlfriend Frances Houseman." Johnny says, an official introduction is in place. Jake looks at her and smiles, extending his hand to her.
"Baby, right? So I've been told that people call you like that." Jake says, she smiles more and went to give him a hug instead. Jake feels overwhelmed now.
Johnny smiles happily, he knows that everything will be alright.
"Go back to dancing kids, enjoy the last night here." Jake says and smiles. Johnny takes Baby's hand and they walk back to the dance floor. Marge walks to Jake and smile, he looks at her and lays his arms around her.
"It's so good to see you have turned around." Marge whispers, Jake gives her a kiss on her forehead.
"She seems like a wonderful woman." Jake says, they look at their son and Baby.
"I'm sure she is Jake. Come, let's dance." Marge says and takes him with her to the dance floor. He chuckles as he tries to dance with her the way the staff kids are doing. Lisa's learning Billy how to move his hips, but he's stiff, she giggles as she watches his face. They have fun while trying to dance and they kiss from time to time. Johnny and Baby sway a little.
"Now I…" Baby sang along, Johnny looks in her eyes with a smile.
"Had the time of my life." She let her hands go through his hair.
"No, I never felt this way before… Yes, I swear… It's so true." She sang and he chuckles a little bit while pressing her a little more against him.
"And I owe it all to you!" Baby sang a little louder, he chuckles again and they stand still. After a moment of looking in each other's eyes, he leans in and kiss her slowly. He grabs her a little tighter as they kiss. After the kiss, he grins and lifts her up in the air. She giggles as he puts her down again. He gives her a kiss once and they dance a little dirty before he kiss her again.
Later that night, Johnny and Baby are in her cabin, laying on the bed. Like they always did, she lays on her back and he has snuggled himself against her. He has his eyes closed and smiles satisfied.
"I'm so happy you came back." He whispers and kisses her throat softly.
"I couldn't stay away from you, I realized when I arrived at my mother's place, that my place is with you. I belong here, next to you Johnny and I don't want to be anywhere else." Baby silently says as she's looking at the ceiling, her hand slowly caressing his shoulder. Like she always does, his hand on her belly.
"What would you say if I look for a place to live in New York?" Baby asks. He lifts his head up and looks in her eyes when she has turn her head to him.
"That would be amazing Baby. I want to live with you." He whispers.
"But you need to go to school." Baby says.
"I'm going to drop Mt. Holyoake. I'm going to apply at the dance academy in New York. I want to put up a dance school with you." Johnny told her, Baby's surprise is quite big, but then she starts to smile wider now. He gives her a kiss.
"Mom supports me, she's gonna help me getting into the academy." He whispers as he snuggles himself more against her.
"Your mother is amazing." She whispers.
"I love you Baby." He whispers, her hand went to his cheek and he lifts his head up again.
"I've got something to tell you." She whispers and he looks curiously in her eyes and wait for what she wants to tell him. She let her thumb stroke his cheek a little bit, thinking how to tell him this. His hand went to her belly again and she smiles more now.
"You're going to be a father yourself." She whispers, his eyebrows went up. He needs to let the news sink in. He's going to be a father? Baby's pregnant? He looks in her eyes and she smiles at him. He can see how much she wants this, how much she wants to have a family with him.
"Are you sure Baby?" He asks, Baby moves a little and grabs the tests out of the bag she had taken inside the cabin. She shows them to him and he looks at them. He starts to smile and looks at her face again.
"This is amazing Baby." He whispers and kissed her now, she lays her arms around his neck and smiles through the kiss.
"I love you so much Johnny." She whispers and he moves on top of her again. She giggles as she looks at his face. Her hands going through his hair.
"Do you want to marry me one day?" He asks, her eyebrows went up. She had not expected this question. He inhales deeply as he looks in her eyes.
"Yes." Baby answers after some moments. He starts to grin and kisses her again. She giggles and then gasps, he grins a little and brought her to heaven. The night is clear, the stars are shining bright at the sky, Johnny and Baby didn't slept much that night. Both too happy and excited about life, looking forward to what it could bring them. Talking about their future plans, Johnny wants to ask her properly one day soon, putting a ring on her finger. They never parted again since that day, making many envious of their bond.
