Chapter 23 A perfect start of Summer
The next day, in the morning, the doctor came to check on Baby and smiles, "how do you feel?" He asks, "tired," Baby answers, "I'll keep you another day, then you've strengthen up a little more," the doctor says and Baby nods, "can I see my son?" Baby asks, "they're looking after him now, soon a nurse will bring him," the doctor says, Johnny came back inside and smiles, "why don't you two go to the cafeteria and have some breakfast, I can get you a wheelchair," the doctor says, "thanks, doc." Baby says, the doctor went to get a wheelchair.
Johnny gives Baby a loving kiss and smiles, "did you get some sleep?" She asks, "just a little, but I'll be fine, don't worry," he says with a smile, "how's Billy?" Baby asks as Johnny cuddles her a little, "he's fine, but very tired, I took him to the baby department, so he could see junior," Johnny says, Baby smiles, "he must be so worried about Jen," Baby says with a little sigh, "he doesn't want to leave her side, though he said he wants to hold his little nephew when Jen gets fired," Johnny says, Baby smiles, "he loves her so much."
"Yeah, I've never seen Billy being so deeply in love with someone before," Johnny says, "Jen was afraid that the engagement and the wedding would be too soon," Baby says, Johnny pushes some hair out of her face and gives her a kiss, "she doesn't have to worry," Johnny whispers, "I told her that, I know she's looking forward to be with him day and night." Baby whispers, Johnny chuckles a little, the doctor came with a wheelchair, Johnny helps Baby to sit in it.
"Let's have a look at our son," Baby says, Johnny smiles and pushes the wheelchair to the baby department, Johnny turns the wheelchair a bit and smiles, "there," he says and points, Baby smiles so happy, "he's so beautiful," she whispers, Johnny kneels next to her and smiles, "we made that, it's a miracle, Baby," he whispers, "it is, and I want to make sure he'll be getting a good life," Baby whispers, Johnny gives her a kiss, "I'll make sure my family has a good life," he whispers, "let's get some breakfast, I'm hungry." He says and stands straight, Baby smiles, he turns the wheelchair and they went to the cafeteria.
"Have you talked to Colin and Peter?" Baby asks, "yeah, I've even invited them to our wedding," he says, she smiles, "they really were sorry yesterday, they want to be friends," Baby says, "they might become friends, just give it time," Johnny says, Baby nods, "shall we visit Jen after breakfast?" Baby asks, "sure." He says with a smile.
Jake and Marge stayed at a hotel for the night, Mr. Castle went home, they came back to the hospital as soon as they were allowed, so in the afternoon they walk inside the room, Baby has her son back and she's enjoying having him on her arms, Johnny sits next to her, smiling as he's watching them.
"Good afternoon," Jake says as he sees them, "hey, dad, mom," Baby says, "you had a good night sleep?" Marge asks, "it was okay, the doctor wants to keep me a night longer to make sure I'm fully rested and have some strength again," Baby says, Jake gives her a kiss and looks at his grandson, "he's really beautiful," he says and Baby smiles proudly, "are you going with Johnny to Kellerman's?" Marge asks, Baby looks at Johnny, "if you don't mind that, I know she normally would come in a few weeks, but I would love to be with her and my son," Johnny says, "alright, you want me to call Max and tell him that you'll be coming back tomorrow?" Jake asks.
"That's very nice, thank you," Johnny says, Jake pats Johnny's shoulder once and walks away, Marge smiles, "here mom, hold him a little," Baby whispers, Marge takes her grandson on her arms and smiles happily, junior makes a few baby sounds and she waggles him softly, "he's very sweet for a baby," she whispers, "he's perfect." Baby says.
Mr. Castle came inside the room and smiles, "good afternoon, how's my grandson?" He asks, Marge looks at him and went to him, "here, hold him," she says, he smiles as he takes his grandson, he watch the little face, "are you gonna give mommy and daddy sleepless nights?" He whispers, Marge chuckles a bit, "I'm looking forward," Johnny says, Baby chuckles a little, "he's so beautiful," Mr. Castle went to his son and lays his grandson in his father's arms.
"You're a perfect father, son, I'm so proud of you," Mr. Castle says, "thanks, dad," Johnny says with a happy smile, "when do you need to go back?" Mr. Castle asks as he went to give Baby a kiss on her cheek, "tomorrow, I think, Jake is calling Max now, I'm taking Baby with me," Johnny says with a smile, "I'm happy you can stay together there," Mr. Castle says, "you should see my cabin now, it looks amazing," Johnny says and Baby smiles, "the baby room is ready for junior, I bought a crib and a dresser, and some baby clothes, diapers, bottles, everything," Johnny says, "you're prepared."
Baby looks at Johnny and admires him, she's so happy to know that Johnny wants to be a father, Jake came back and smiles, "and?" Johnny asks, Jake came closer and Johnny lays his son in Jake's arms, who smiles as he looks at his grandson, "Max said to take your time, the first guests for the summer season will only arrive next weekend," Jake says, "thanks, Jake, I appreciate that," Johnny says, "what about Billy?" Baby asks.
"He can stay as long as needed with Jen, I've explained the situation and Max understands, the staff will cover his work for the time being," Jake says, Johnny smiles and nods, "thanks, Jake, I think Billy appreciates that a lot," Johnny says and Jake nods, "anything to make people happy," Jake says, Marge gives him a kiss and he smiles, "since I'm going with Johnny to Kellerman's from here, tell Billy he can use my car, the keys are in the room." Baby says.
"I will, Baby," Mr. Castle says, "we need to go to campus anyway, Baby, for your stuff," Johnny says, "yeah, I'll lay the key on Jen's desk, if Jen's good enough to travel, she can go with Billy to Kellerman's," Baby says, they nod at her and smile, "where's Lisa?" Baby asks, "she's coming home tomorrow, we'll tell her the news tomorrow, but I think she would love to meet her nephew," Marge says with a smile, "she'll meet him at Kellerman's." Baby says.
The next day came, Johnny helps Baby with her stuff, she's feeding junior while he's putting her stuff in the trunk, "did you leave a note for Jen and Billy?" Baby asks when he steps in the car, he looks at his son drinking and smiles, "yeah, I did, as you told me, I asked dad if he could pick Billy and Jen up when she gets fired from the hospital," he says, "okay, your father is great," Baby says as she looks back at junior, Johnny smiles and gives Baby a kiss on her cheek, "let's go, you're looking forward to go back?" He asks, "oh yes, can't wait to have nice walks with junior," Baby says and Johnny smiles, "he'll love it there." Johnny departs to Kellerman's, they've been saying good bye to her parents yesterday evening, thought they'll be going to Kellerman's in 3 weeks, same for Mr. Castle.
Chris, Colin and Peter have visited them yesterday evening as well, they've met junior and talked about the happenings, and also about the summer holiday and the wedding, Colin and Peter will be coming to the wedding, they could arrange that with their parents, Chris told them that Dave is still in jail, he will need to show up in court for what he has been doing, turns out that Dave has been living on the streets, he started to pickpocket people, and stole food from stores, not to mention that he somehow always got his hand on alcohol, Chris said that he'll be facing prison time.
After a few hours they arrive at Kellerman's, Johnny parks his car and Baby looks outside at his cabin, it's been painted, it looks like new, "your cabin looks so different," she says as he opens the door on her side, she hands junior to him and he smiles at his son, "yeah, it's totally renovated, I didn't recognized it anymore when they were done," Johnny says, Baby smiles, "Max has been really nice to you," Baby says, "yeah, I'm still getting use to it," Johnny says and looks at her with a smile, "come, then you can check out the cabin," he says, Baby smiles and they walk to his cabin.
Baby walks inside and gasps, "this is a total transformation, Johnny, I don't recognize anything in here anymore," Baby says, Johnny smiles as he watch her face, "you like it?" He asks, "I love it, it's amazing," Baby says, she walks to the little kitchen counter and looks outside, "nice view," she says and he smiles, he's looking at his son, Baby sees his bed in the half open bedroom, because the baby room has been built, a half open space arose and Johnny found it the perfect place for the bed, Baby smiles as she sees a little table with 3 chairs, a couch and a small coffee table, "look," Johnny says and point to his right, to the space across the door, he never used that space, but now he has bought a fridge and has put it there, "nice, so I can cook meals for us?" Baby asks, "yeah, anything you want."
She went to him and gives him a sweet kiss, "it's a great room," she whispers, he chuckles a bit, "come, check out the baby room," he whispers, Baby smiles and gives her son a little kiss before she went to the little room, it's not big, but big enough for their son to sleep in and have his naps, Baby smiles as she looks at the crib on one side and the dresser on the other side, she opens the dresser and sees all the stuff for junior, she's truly amazed about Johnny, "I love it, it's perfect." Baby says, she turns and looks at him with a smile.
"I guess I need to go to Max in a bit, telling him I'm back, I could do some of Billy's work as well," Johnny says and Baby nods, they hear a knock and Baby went to open it, Penny smiles as she sees Baby, "Baby! I'm so happy to see you again!" Penny says and they hug tightly, "you look amazing," Penny says as she walks inside, she looks at Johnny and smiles, "oh my lord, it that the little one?" Penny nearly whispers and came closer to Johnny.
"Yeah, Pen, meet our son, junior," Johnny says with a smile, Penny looks at his face and then at Baby, "you've named him after you?" She asks as she looks back at Johnny, who only nods, she looks at junior again, "he's beautiful, may I?" She asks, Johnny lays his son in her arms and gives Penny a kiss on her cheek, "you're gonna be a big boy," she whispers to him and smiles, "it's amazing, I'm so happy for you," she says, Baby came closer, "I'm sure he'll love his godmother," Baby whispers, Penny's eyebrows went up, "me?" She asks, Baby nods, she has talked to Johnny about it, junior will be getting two godmothers and one godfather.
"I'll leave you girls to enjoy the moment," Johnny says, he gives Baby a kiss, "what are you going to do?" Penny asks, "taking Baby's stuff out of the car," Johnny says and walks away, "come, let's sit down," Baby says and they went to sit on the couch, "I'm so happy, Baby," Penny says, Baby smiles, "to see you again, to see how nice Johnny got it here now, I mean, look at this cabin," Penny says and Baby chuckles a little, "and it's so good to see how happy Johnny is, he seems totally ready to be a father," she says, "he is, I think I've fallen in love even more now." Baby says, they giggle a little and look at junior again.
After Johnny got all of Baby's stuff into the cabin, he looks at the girls with a smile, "I'm going to Max now," he says, they look at him and nod, "you probably will have the day off though, Rodriguez is covering for you today," Penny says, "thanks, Pen, but I need to go anyway, you want to have dinner with us?" Johnny asks, "I would love to," Penny says, he gives them both a kiss and walks away, "he's amazing." Baby whispers and Penny chuckles a little.
Johnny knocks on the office door and waits, "enter," he opens the door and sees Max sitting behind his desk, "hey Johnny, I thought would arrive a few days later," Max says with a smile, "Baby got fired from the hospital and we decided to come here instead," Johnny says, "great, how's Baby?" Max asks as he stands up, Johnny puts his hands in his pockets, "she's alright, just a bit tired," Johnny says, Max moves closer and extends his hand, Johnny looks at it and shakes Max's hand, "congratulations, boy, enjoy it," Max says, Johnny starts to smile again, "thanks, sir," Johnny says, "I'd love to meet the little one, Jake told me you got a son," Max says as he turns, "yeah, he's perfect, I'm sure Baby would love to show him to you."
Max nods and sits down again, "sir," Johnny says and Max looks at him again, "about Billy, I'm not sure how long it will take for him to come back, but his fiancée is getting better," Johnny says, "good to hear, I told Jake that he can take the time, I can imagine he doesn't want to leave her side, and I need to give him some credit, he has been working so hard so he can pay for the wedding and the renovation of his cabin," Max says, Johnny nods at that, "yeah, he has been doing so much," Johnny says, "but why I also came," Johnny says and Max waits for him to go on, "I know I don't have too much on hand, so I want to offer myself to take some of Billy's work over until he comes back," Johnny says, "you don't have to do that, Johnny, I'd imagined you wanted to enjoy the time with your family," Max says, "I know, and I want to, but I like to earn some extra if that's possible," Johnny says, "of course, I'll see what you can take over, but for today you're gonna enjoy your free evening, I insist," Max says with a smile, "thanks, sir, that means a lot," Johnny says, he went to shake Max's hand again, "off you go." Max says, Johnny went back to his cabin.
