Thank you!
The wedding day was getting closer now, Baby and Johnny are packing their clothes for Kellerman's. They'll be going tomorrow with Jake and Marge. They need to do a few preparations before the wedding. Johnny got about a week off and Baby got off from school as well for the wedding. She hopes she won't miss too much since the exams are getting closer.
After the packing, Johnny took Baby out to the diner they went to once a week. As it's their date evening, it's not this evening but he wanted to spoil her before they needed to depart.
"I can't wait anymore." Baby said and Johnny chuckled about her excitement.
"I'm gonna be your wife for real, it's been a dream since the first moment I laid my eyes on you." Baby said and he kissed her.
"You'll make the best wife a man can have, I'm so happy Baby." He whispered and they kissed again.
They're at the diner, when Catherine walked inside. She sees them sitting and went to the table. Johnny looked up and sees his mother, he stands up and looked at her. He didn't smile, he hasn't seen his mother since Christmas Day. She smiled and hugs him a little bit, she looked at Baby and smiled. Baby smiled back and Johnny sits down again.
"You're nervous for the wedding?" Catherine asked as she looked at them. Johnny sighs deeply and Baby looked at him.
"Johnny, let it go." Baby whispered, Johnny takes a deep breath. He doesn't know why he keeps reacting like this every time he sees his mother again. He might never get used to the fact that his mother is back in the east and wanting to be in his life again. And he always had thought that he would be happy if she would be back.
"I'm looking forward to be Baby's husband soon." Johnny eventually answered the question and gives her a little smile. Catherine sits down, without asking if she could join them and smiled at him now.
"How are you doing mom?" He asked as the waiter came to for their orders.
"I'm good, thanks son. I'm doing volunteer work at the hospital now and I'm very happy. I just hope that you will let me more into your life. I want to be there for you." Catherine said, Johnny sighs and looked at Baby now who only smiled at him.
"It's still hard for me somehow. Mom, I don't know why, but maybe it's because I repulse the things that you seem to love and of course for what you did to dad." Johnny looked down, Baby takes a hand and slowly caressing it.
"I understand that son, and I think it will take years for you to finally fully accept me. I just want you to know that I'm not gonna do the things anymore that I did to you or to your father. Actually, your father and I are talking to each other on a normal level now." She said.
"You're not gonna try to get him back, are you? I don't want to see that dad gets hurt again." Johnny said and Catherine shakes her head.
"No, don't you worry. We don't want to date each other, we just want to be able to act normal when we're around each other and with you." Catherine said. Johnny sighs and looked at Baby again.
"That's a good thing Johnny, it will be fine, take your time." Baby said, Johnny only sighs when the waiter came with their order.
"I'm happy that you've invited me to your wedding, I was afraid I would miss out the most important day of my son." Catherine said and Johnny looked at her smile. He tried to smile and starts to eat.
"You're welcome Catherine, I think it's important that both Johnny's parents are there. Family is after all important, especially to us." Baby said. Catherine smiled at her and they eat on in silence.
After dinner, Johnny and Baby went back home. They said goodbye to Catherine. Johnny turns the music on and looked at Baby, who smiled as she swayed a little while having her hands on her belly. Her belly has grown a lot and she smiled happily. Johnny couldn't help but admire Baby for the way she's handling her pregnancy and how happy she truly looks.
"The baby's gonna be the happiest baby alive." He whispered as he came close, he lays his hand on her belly and she smiled at him.
"I'll be the happiest wife you can imagine." She whispered.
"Oh." She said after a moment and looked at him with a surprised face, he looked at her concerned. She grabbed his hands and moved them a bit.
"Feel." She whispered and then he felt it too. Baby starts to smile and he's looking at her belly now.
"That were the first kicks." She whispered and she sees how his smile is getting wider now.
"Oh." Baby said and giggled a bit, Johnny chuckled about her reaction but he's loving the kicks from the baby. His little human being. Since the last month he's hoping for a boy, Baby had seen him dreaming and smiled.
"I would love to have a son." He whispered and she kissed him with a smile.
"If it keeps kicking like this, then be sure it will be a boy." She whispered teasingly, he chuckled and kissed her again.
They went to bed early, enjoying the kicks from their unborn baby for a while before they close their eyes and drifting off into sleep.
The next morning, Jake and Marge arrived very early and Baby was still a little groggy when Johnny had let them inside.
"You're ready kids?" Jake asked as Baby slowly went to him for a hug and then to her mother.
"Did you slept at all?" Marge asked concerned when she sees Baby's puffy eyes.
"I have mom, I slept really well, just trying to wake up now." Baby said and walked to the kitchen to make some coffee. Johnny went to the bedroom to get the suitcases and laid them ready at the door. Jake and Marge followed Baby to the kitchen.
"How's it going pumpkin?" Jake asked and looked at his daughter with a smile.
"It started to kick since yesterday." Baby said with a happy smile as she pours some coffee in a few mugs. Jake smiled as he sits down, Marge sits down too.
"I remember the first kicks from you Baby, you kicked hard and a lot." Marge said as she looked at Baby's belly. Baby took her hand and laid it on her belly. Johnny came into the kitchen and watched them with a smile. Marge's expression softened up totally when she felt a little kick.
"I think someone will love to be a grandmother." Johnny said, they look at him and Jake chuckled about it.
"Yeah, I just never expected to become one so early already." Marge said, with a teasing smile and Johnny chuckled about it.
"I'm happy you've accepted mom." Baby said and hugged her mother. Baby let her father's hand be on her belly as well and he smiled proudly.
"I still hope it will be a little Johnny." Baby whispered.
"If it's a boy, I wouldn't wish for anything else either pumpkin." Jake said with a smile, looking at Johnny and winked. Johnny blushed, it's the biggest compliment he ever has gotten from Jake and he will cherish it.
"I hope for a girl." Marge said and Baby giggled about the faces the two men are making.
"You will love having a daughter as well Johnny, believe me, I have two. They'll be your biggest confusion you will ever get in your life." Jake said and Baby giggled, laying her hand over her mouth, Johnny laughed wholeheartedly about it.
"We need to go now." Marge said as she looked at the time. The two men went to get the suitcases and walked to the elevator while Marge tried to assist Baby where needed.
"I'm okay mom, I can do this alone." Baby said as she puts her jacket on. Johnny waited at the door and on Baby's way out, he steals a kiss, making her giggle in the process. He closed the door and locked it. It was strange for Johnny now to go away for several days, he got so used of living here that it nearly was hard to think that he had such a hard life before.
