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 36
The girls were upstairs, Lisa was done with their hair.
"You like it?" She asked.
"I love it, you kept it as natural as possible." Baby said, Penny smiled as well as she admired her hair-do.
"I love it Lisa." Penny said.
"You may come more often and do my hair." She added, and Lisa hugged Penny as well.
"Thanks." Lisa said. There was a knock.
"Girls?" Marge said and opened the door.
"Oh, you two really need to get dressed now. Guests have arrived already." Marge said as she closed the door.
"Your hair looks great." She said, and Lisa smiled.
"Lisa, can you help Penny with her dress? I will help Baby." Marge said as she took Baby's dress.
Baby took off her bathrobe. It took some time, but the girls were dressed, Marge helped them with the shoes and Lisa smiled.
"You both look so beautiful." Lisa said excitedly.
"I still can't realize it, my youngest is going to be a wife." Marge said, Baby hugged her mother and then Lisa with a big smile.
"You look so perfect. You remember how I always told you how I wanted to have my wedding?" Lisa asked.
"Yeah." Baby said, Lisa grabbed Baby's hands.
"This is so much better than those dreams." Lisa said.
"You have everything you wanted, a perfect man, you're expecting a baby, you live your dream here on the ranch and now you are becoming a perfect wife." Lisa said, she was being emotional. Baby smiled and hugged her sister.
"You will marry one day too Lissy." Baby whispered.
"And then you will get that perfect wedding you always dreamed off." Baby added.
"Thanks Baby. I love you." Lisa said.
"I love you too sis." Baby said, and they hugged again.
"And Penny, you are also like a sister to me. I'm sorry I took you for granted in the past." Lisa said.
"Come here you." Penny said and hugged Lisa.
"Let's go ladies." Marge said.
They went downstairs. Jake stood up and looked at them.
"Wow, you two look so beautiful." Jake said and kissed Baby and Penny on their cheeks.
"Neil is here Lissy, he is outside with Max." Jake said.
"Thanks dad." Lisa said, giving him a kiss on his cheek and walking outside.
Jake walked the girls to the start of the aisle. The music started, the vicar stood beneath the pavilion and smiled as he looks at the girls. Guests have turned to look at them, Marge walked quickly to the front row to sit down, on her way she greeted some aunts and cousins. Most guests were from Baby's side. Penny didn't expect anyone from her side anyway, but she saw Billy's mom looking at her. She smiled, she never met Billy's mom before, only saw pictures, because she lived in another state and was always busy. Johnny's father was there too, some friends were there. Baby saw colleagues from Kellerman's being there too, like Maria and Rita, who waved excitedly. Baby smiled at them. Neil smiled at Lisa who stood next to the vicar now, Max sat next to him. Rodriguez stood at the other side of the vicar, Johnny and Billy had asked him to be their best man, they couldn't think of someone else. It was not too much, it was perfect. Jake stood in between the girls and held his arms up.
"You're ready?" He asked.
"Yeah." They said.
He smiled proudly as they walked slowly to the pavilion with music in the background. The guests smiling while looking at them. Baby looked at the view and saw how the sun was starting to set down and like she predicted, it was a beautiful and remarkable warm day. Jake stood still and looked at the vicar with a smile, who gave Jake a nod.
"We need to wait for the grooms, I hope they haven't run off." The vicar said jokingly, and the girls giggled.
There was a horse whinnying, and everyone looked at the stables. Johnny and Billy trotted a little and then walked to the pavilion, Johnny smiled as he saw Baby, his eyes glued on her. Billy walked to the other side of the pavilion and both men stood still, some guests gasped, clearly not expecting this entrance. Marge laid her hand on her chest and smiled. The men stepped off, binding the reins to a pole of the pavilion and walked to their girls. Jake grabbed from each girl a hand and they looked at him, he gave them both a kiss and handed the hands out to the men. He smiled at them and went to sit down next to his wife, she grabbed his hand and smiled happily. Pictures were being made as well, they hired a professional photographer. The vicar did the vowels, it took some time. Baby and Johnny looked at each other, Billy and Penny as well with a smile on their faces. After some time.
"The rings please." The vicar asked and looked at Rodriguez.
He quickly gave Johnny and Billy the rings.
"Do you, Johnny Castle, take Frances Houseman to be your wife?" The vicar asked.
"I do." Johnny said with a smile, he puts the ring on her finger.
"Do you, Billy Castle, take Penny Johnson to be your wife?" The vicar asked.
"I do." Billy said, and he puts the ring on Penny's finger.
The guests were in awe now. Marge was tearing up and Jake handed her his handkerchief while tearing up himself as well. The vicar looked at Lisa, who smiled and gave the girls the rings.
"Do you, Frances Houseman, take Johnny Castle to be your husband?" The vicar asked.
"I do." Baby said, and she puts the ring on Johnny's finger.
"Do you, Penny Johnson, take Billy Castle as your husband?" The vicar asked.
"I do." Penny said when the vicar wasn't even done with his sentence, Billy smiled at her as she puts the ring on his finger.
"You may kiss the brides." The vicar said with a smile and clapped.
The guests clapped as well. Johnny laid Baby's arms around his neck and his around her waist.
"You look so beautiful." He whispered and kissed her.
Billy and Penny were kissing already and literally were glued to each other. The caterer was making room, so dinner could start, the guests stood straight. Jake walked to Johnny and gave him a nod.
"I'm right back, stay here." Johnny said.
"You need a hand?" Billy asked.
"Come." Johnny said and took Nibbit, Billy took Klimbim and they walked to the stables.
The guests became curious. Jake gave a nod to Rodriguez and Lisa, who quickly walked away as well.
"What is going on?" Baby asked.
"I'm wondering that too." Penny said.
"I know you both probably didn't want me to do this, because I already have done so much." Jake said, the girls looked at him.
"I have several presents for you." Jake said.
"Let me start with the first one." Jake added.
"But it's not present time yet dad." Baby said. "I know, but this is not like regular presents." Jake said.
"You know your father." Marge said with a smile.
He took a paper out of his right pocket.
"I know I should give this to the four of you together, but the men will know as soon as they are back." Jake said and hand the envelope to Baby and Penny.
"You open it Pen." Baby said, Penny looked at her and did so.
She gasped and laid her hand on her chest. Baby looked at the paper as well and her mouth dropped.
"This is huge dad. How did you get the licenses?" Baby asked. She looked at a contract for building up a dance school with a double floors apartment for Billy and Penny.
"I spoke with the right people, it took some time but I'm glad it worked out in time." Jake said with a smile. The girls grabbed him tightly.
"Thank you so much!" Baby shrieked and kissed her dad.
Penny putted the contract back in the envelope and smiled widely.
"I don't know what to say." Penny said and gave him a kiss too.
"That's not all. I've got something for both families, since the babies are almost here, I thought you might find good use of these." Jake said and held his left arm up.
They heard cars coming to the pavilion, Baby and Penny turned and gasped. Two Range Rovers stopped, Lisa and Rodriguez stepped out with the keys.
"I hope you will enjoy them." Jake said.
"Dad, you are crazy." Baby said but hugged him, Lisa walked to her sister and smiled.
"It drives amazing." Lisa said, and Baby hugged her tightly.
"I don't know what to say." Penny said as Rodriguez handed her the key, Lisa gave the key to Baby.
"Say thank you." Rodriguez said, she giggled and gave him a little hug. She looked at Jake and gave him a hug and a kiss.
"You are so sweet, thank you so much." Penny said.
"Everything for my three lovely girls." Jake said.
The girls hugged him at the same time, he chuckled.
"But I'm not done yet." Jake said as he let them go.
"Wait dad. Please stop spoiling us." Baby said.
"This is my present for you Baby, I know you don't want me to spoil you and god forbid that I buy you something you love so much." Jake said.
His hand went into his left pocket, he took the papers out. Baby looked at it and held her hands over her mouth.
"But for once, I want to spoil my baby girl. Here and I hope you will enjoy it for many years to come." Jake said and handed her the papers.
"You really?" Baby asked, she didn't dare to unfold the papers.
Jake held his right arm up.
"That's the queue Billy, go ahead." Johnny said as he stood there with Tammen waiting.
Billy quickly went to the girls and smiled. Baby unfolded the papers and she started to cry.
"I'm dreaming." Baby said.
Johnny walked to her with Tammen. The guests looked at him and were in awe. Johnny smiled as he stood still in front of Baby, he handed her the robe.
"This is too much." Baby said.
She cries harder now and looked at Tammen who held his head high, ears forward and his lip touched her face. She kissed his nose and rubbed his head.
"I must be dreaming. Dad, he must have cost a fortune." Baby said.
"Money is worthless when it comes to my daughter's happiness." Jake said.
Baby hugged him again, this time tightly and long. He closed his eyes and smiled. Johnny patted on Tammen's neck. Baby cuddled Tammen, the guests were in awe again.
"Just got married and I already am cheated on." Johnny said jokingly, the people laughed about it, Baby giggled and looked at him.
"I love you so much. And you knew about this?" She asked.
"Yeah, I was there when you father made the deal." Johnny said.
"So, you know the price?" Baby asked.
"I'm not going to tell you." Johnny said.
Baby kissed him, he grabbed her and kissed her back. Tammen breezed and pushed his nose against their faces, Baby giggled.
"We need to have a talk mister." Johnny said and looked at Tammen with a smile.
Tammen had his ears forward and breezed again, Johnny gave him a kiss on his nose.
"I can't believe it, he is mine, reality still needs to hit me." Baby said and cuddled Tammen again.
"People, the tables are ready. Dinner will be served soon." Marge announced, the caterers guided the guests to the tables.
"See you in a bit." Jake said and walked away with Marge.
"Dad bought us cars as well." Baby said and held up the key.
Penny did too with a big smile. The men looked at the cars and smiled.
"We are going to have fun with those." Billy said.
"They're for the family." Penny said in a warning tone, Johnny chuckled and putted the key in his pocket.
"Your father is one of a kind." Johnny said and gave Baby a kiss again.
"You can say that, look what he got us as well. This is for the four of us." Penny said and handed Johnny the envelope.
Billy looked curious as Johnny took the contract out, his mouth dropped.
"Is he for real?" Johnny asked, Billy took the contract and was equally astonished.
"Yeah, he said it took him some time, but the licenses are arranged. In the contract even stands that when we are ready, we can contact the contractor and he will come by to a look at the plans." Baby said with a smile.
"He even pays for it, stands here." Billy said and showed the part to them.
"He for sure is crazy, but we have no choice to stop him." Baby said.
"I think we need to join our guests now." Penny said and looked at the people who sit down at the tables.
"Go already, I will join in a bit. Bringing Tammen back to his stable." Baby said.
"I will join you." Johnny said and laid his arm around Baby's waist.
Tammen laid his head over their shoulders and cuddled.
"I think someone knows now and is very happy." Baby said and smiled.
The photographer was making a lot of pictures. Especially of this moment. Johnny smiled at Tammen and then looked at Baby. He let her go and grabbed her hand instead. His other hand rubbing Tammen's head.
"Come Tammen." Baby said, they walked to the stable.
Tammen laid his nose on her shoulder like he always do, they walked passed the tables and the guests were looking at them and whispering a bit.
"You are already famous Tammen." Johnny said with a smile.
Baby giggled and gave Tammen a kiss on his nose. They walked to his stable, Baby took off the halter and looked at it while Johnny took off the blanket.
"You used the one for the shows." Baby said.
"Yeah, thought it might look better." Johnny said as he laid the blanket aside.
He closed the stable and grabbed Baby's hands after she hung up the halter.
"Let's go." He said and kissed her once.
"Before they think we are doing naughty things again." He said with a cheeky grin.
"This is the best day of my life Johnny, everything I ever wanted and dreamed off came true." Baby said as she was starting to get tears again, Johnny kissed her again and she grabbed him.
"I love you so much." Johnny whispered.
"And I love you so much." Baby whispered.
He smiled and laid his forehead against hers. Her hand laid on his cheek. Then they walked to the table and got cheered by some guests.
"There you two are. I almost thought that you two were doing things unheard of." Marge said in a teasing tone.
"Mom!" Baby said and flushed, others who heard it laughed.
"What? It's perfectly healthy and normal." Marge said.
Baby rolled her eyes and sat down. Johnny sat next to her, Billy gave him a beer.
"Cheers." Johnny said and they all said "Cheers."
