Chapter 29 Opening Show
Baby and Jenny walk into the main hall, "I'm not staying too long," Baby says as she gives junior a kiss, "if you want, I can watch junior for you," Jenny says, Baby smiles at her, "that's sweet but I don't want you to miss anything out, I've seen it all already, I don't mind going back earlier." Baby says and they stand still, the band is making music, Tito is tap dancing and Max joined in, Baby wonders if they do every year the same thing, she also wonders if the guests, who come every year, don't get bored of it.
Chris enters with his parents, Peter and Colin follow them, Jenny looks around and sees them, she smiles, "the guys have arrived," Jenny says, Baby looks at Jenny and then at the guys, "shall we try to be friends with Peter and Colin? I mean, they did come," Baby says, Jenny looks at her and smiles, "sure, they've been supportive and helpful, I don't see why we shouldn't give them a chance," Jenny says, Chris looks around and sees the girls, he smiles, "the girls are here, come, mom, dad, I want to introduce you." Chris says, Jenny waves a little, Chris waves back as he walks to them.
"You had a good dinner?" Jenny asks, "yeah, it was great, never had such comfort food before," Chris says and Jenny giggles a little, "don't get use to it," Baby says with a wink, she looks at Peter and Colin with a smile, "Billy said that too," Chris said, Jenny giggles again, "she's very giggly this evening," Baby says, she moves closer to Colin and Peter and gave them a short hug for so far it was possible, "I hope you two have a good time so far," Baby says, "yeah, it's really nice here," Colin says, "we're happy you both came, it's good to see you," Baby says with a smile, "it's good to see you both as well." Peter says as Jenny hugs them as well.
"Baby, Jen, this is my mother Patricia and my father Jesse," Chris says with a smile, Baby and Jenny look at them and Baby extends her hand, "mom, dad, this is Baby and Jenny, my best friends from college," Chris says, Jenny extends her hand as well, "and hopefully for many years after college too," Jenny says with a smile as they're shaking hands, "it's a pleasure to meet you both, I've heard so much about you," Patricia says with a smile, "really? Nothing bad I hope," Baby says teasingly, "all good things, don't worry," Patricia says and she looks at junior, "this is my son, Johnny, named after his father and grandfather, we call him junior," Baby says and moves closer to Patricia, "he's beautiful." Patricia says with a smile, Colin and Peter came closer as well to look at Junior.
Johnny and Penny walk inside the main hall and Baby sees them, "you're really going to marry?" Jesse asks, "yeah, we both are," Baby says, "on the same day," Jenny adds, the guys chuckle a little, "you both seem really excited about it," Jesse says with a smile, "we are, looking forward," Jenny says, she looks at the guys who start to laugh now, "stop it, will ya?" She asks but giggles as well, "my fiancé is there," Baby says and points at Johnny walking to the middle of the dance floor, "the dancer?" Patricia asks, "yeah, he and Penny are dance instructors here, they're also best friends," Baby explains, they nod, "and where's yours?" Patricia asks and looks at Jenny, "he's outside at the gazebo, doing the music."
They are talking and looking at the opening show and the people dancing, Johnny and Penny are giving a show and Baby smiles proudly, "he's amazing in dancing," Peter says, Jenny looks at him and sees the twinkle in his eyes, she giggles, Baby looks at him, "he's the best," Baby says with a smile, Neil walks by them and looks at them, "having fun, girls?" He asks, "yeah," Baby says, "why don't you dance?" Neil asks, "I'm having junior here, I'm not staying long anyway," Baby says, "what about you, Jen?" Neil asks, "oh, I can't really dance, I rather stay with Baby," she says, he smiles and walks away again, "he's getting creepier with the day," Jenny says, "he gives strange vibes." Chris says, Baby looks at them and then at her son, she smiles as he's having his eyes open.
Johnny has seen them and smiles, "I'm gonna say hi to my fiancée," Johnny whispers to Penny, she smiles as she looks at them as well, "maybe you can take one of the guys to dance, maybe Chris wants to dance," Johnny whispers, "is this the Chris you've been telling me about?" Penny asks, "yeah, come, I want you to meet him," Johnny says, they walk to the girls, "hey, sweetie, having fun?" Johnny asks, Baby looks at him and smiles, he gives her a kiss, "yeah, I'm happy the guys came, it feels like the gang is complete now," Baby says, he looks at her happy face, "I'm happy to see you so happy, Baby." He says and gives her a kiss again.
"Johnny," Chris says, Johnny looks at him and smiles, they hug shortly, "Chris," Johnny says, he looks at Peter and Colin, "guys, glad you came," Johnny says and extends his hand, they shake his hand, Jenny looks at Peter and sees a little blush, she smiles, "Johnny, meet my parents, Patricia and Jesse," Chris says, Johnny looks at them and shakes hand with them, "nice to meet you, you got a great son," Johnny says, they smile, "nice to meet you too, Johnny," Patricia says, Jesse nods with a smile, "did he told you he's being Billy's and mine best man at the wedding?" Johnny asks, "oh yeah, he couldn't stop talking about it the day he came back home." Patricia says, Chris rolls his eyes, Johnny chuckles about it.
"Guys, Patricia, Jesse, this is my best friend Penny," Johnny says, Penny smiles and shakes hand with them, Chris looks at Penny and starts to smile, Johnny sees his reaction and chuckles a little, he leans in to Penny, "dance with Chris," he whispers in her ear, Penny looks at Chris and smiles, "sure, come Chris," she says and takes his hand, his eyebrows went up but he follows her, the girls giggle about it, "I guess we know his type now," Jenny says, the guys look at her and chuckle a little, "I need to go back to work before the little boss fires me," Johnny says and gives Baby as kiss, he turns to Patricia and smiles, "care for a dance?" He asks, "Oh, no, not really in the mood, but thanks." Patricia answers, Johnny nods and walks away.
Bianca walks inside with her kids, followed by Mr. Castle and Clarissa, Baby sees them and giggles, "look," Baby says and points, Jenny sees them and giggles as well, "3 teachers here," Colin says, "yeah, but we were more pointing out at senior and Mrs. Van Dyck," Baby says, "see her giggling, what has senior been doing?" Jenny asks, they giggle again, "looks like he made the first step, I knew it," Baby says, the rest is looking at the two dancing inside now, they're looking at each other and smile, "yeah, that's love," Jenny says with a nod, "I'm so happy for him, he deserves it." Baby says.
Jake, Marge and Lisa walks inside as well, "Baby," Jake says and Baby turns, "dad," Baby says with a smile, he gives her a kiss on her cheek and looks at junior, "doesn't he need to sleep in his crib?" Jake asks, "I'm going in a bit, I'm tired myself, I just wanted to have a look at the opening show," Baby says, Jake smiles, Marge gives Baby and Jenny a hug, "you're having a good day so far?" Jenny asks, "yeah, it's good to be back." Marge says, Jake looks at the guys and Chris' parents, they introduce themselves, Lisa is looking at Colin and smiles shyly, he wasn't really aware of it, but Jenny and Marge have seen it, they look at each other and Jenny giggles a little.
Bianca walks around and sees the group, she smiles and walks to them, "hey, Frances, Jenny," Bianca says, "Mrs. Flint, I hope you're enjoying the first day," Baby says, Bianca looks at junior, Baby turns a little and moves closer, "he's beautiful," Bianca says with a smile, "he's becoming his father and grandfather more and more each day," Baby says teasingly, Bianca chuckles, "he soon needs to push the girls off him," Bianca says teasingly, Baby giggles as she looks at Johnny with a smile, "I'm happy for you and Johnny," Bianca says, Baby looks at her again, "thanks," Baby says, "you can call me Bianca by the way, we're not at college here," Bianca adds, "okay, I guess it's a habit." Baby says, Jenny is talking to Peter and Colin now, Jake got into a conversation with Chris' parents, Marge is standing next to Lisa.
"Mrs. Van Dyck and senior are close," Baby whispers, Bianca chuckles as she looks at them as well, "yeah, he came to us at the gazebo, he took her for a dance and they haven't stopped since," Bianca whispers, Baby giggles, "I'm happy for them," Baby says, "me too, and also because Clarissa never could stop talking about him, she was driving me insane," Bianca says, Baby giggles, "she will be worse from now on," Baby says with a wink, "god, please, don't say that," Bianca says and sips her drink, Baby giggles again, "just send her to senior." Baby winks now and went to Jenny.
"I'm going now, I'm tired and junior needs to sleep in his crib," Baby says, Jenny turns and smiles, "I'm going with you, it was a long day," Jenny says, Baby nods, she looks at Johnny who just on that moment looks at her, she waves, "give me a moment," Johnny says and went to Baby, "I'm going to bed," Baby whispers, he smiles and gives her a sweet kiss, he looks at his son and smiles, Baby lifts him out of the carrier and hands him to his father, who takes him and smiles, "you're gonna be sweet to mommy?" He whispers, junior moves a bit and closes his eyes again, "good night, little prince," he whispers and gives junior a little kiss again, he hands him back to Baby who put junior back in the carrier, Johnny leans in and gives Baby a kiss again, "good night," he whispers, "I'll wait in bed for you," she whispers in his ear, he smiles and gives her another kiss, "I love you," he whispers, "I love you too."
Baby and Jenny said good night to them all and went back to their cabin, Chris is still dancing with Penny who smiles at him, "you can move," Penny says, "I never danced before," Chris says, he looks at their feet, "don't look at your feet, look in my eyes," Penny says, he did, Penny smiles and he starts to blush a little now, "I can give you some lessons if you want," Penny whispers, "I don't have the money for lessons," Chris answers, "I'll give you free lessons," she winks, he chuckles a little, "sounds good." He whispers. Johnny greets Jake, Marge and Lisa and then went back to work, he sees Penny and Chris and chuckles a little, he looks around and then sees his father and Clarissa, he smiles, he turns to look for someone to dance with, he needs to sell lessons.
Someone taps on his shoulder and he turns, he looks at Vivian and became annoyed, he was avoiding her as much as possible this evening but she has been following him, "hey, Johnny," she says, he puts his hands in his pockets, "let's dance," she whispers as she moves closer, Bianca sees the situation, "no, I don't want to dance with you, I need to sell lessons," Johnny says, she wants to lay her arms around his neck and he moves to avoid it, "if you want to sell lessons to me you should dance with me," she says in a cold tone now, "I don't want to dance with you, why are you even like this again? I was clear enough last year, stay away from me," Johnny says, he's getting more annoyed and folds his arms now, Bianca came in action, she walks to them, "wanna dance, Johnny?" Bianca asks, he looks at her and nods, he extends his hand and they walk to the dance floor, Vivian growls.
"Thanks for saving me," Johnny says as they start to dance, "I figured she was up to something," Bianca says and looks at Vivian, "she looks pissed," Bianca says, Johnny sighs frustratingly, "she's getting on my nerves," Johnny says, Bianca looks at him again, "what has she been doing?" Bianca asks, "last year, she thought I was her lover," he starts and turns with her, she only nods at him, "but I turned her down every time since I'm with Baby, she's not leaving me alone, she's very jealous of Baby as well," Johnny says and inhales a little, "go on," Bianca says with a smile, "when she didn't got what she wanted, she reported me to Max, I would've stolen Moe's wallet," Johnny says, Bianca's eyebrows went up, "it was indeed stolen, but not by me, I would never steal, it was a couple who were wanted, but anyway," Johnny says, "Frances said that you got fired and then got your job back." Bianca says, he looks at her while thinking.
"Yeah, I got fired because I got a relationship with her, but her father made sure I got my job back, he's a good friend of Max," Johnny says, Bianca smiles, "she must really love you," she says, "yeah, I can't imagine my life without her, she's the most amazing person I know and she makes me a better person as well," Johnny says and Bianca could see the passion in his eyes, "that's good to hear, I'm glad you got your job back," Bianca says as she stops dancing, he let her go, "I'll let you get back to work." She says and smiles, she wants to walk away but he stops her, she looks at him.
"Please," Johnny whispers, "what?" She asks, Johnny sighs, "please, don't tell anyone about our one-time in your cabin," he whispers and looks at her with begging eyes, "I won't, don't you worry," she says and smiles, "it's been years ago, Johnny, it was a huge mistake and you know that," she adds, he nods, "I know, but I don't want Baby to think that I've slept with every woman here," he whispers, "she doesn't know about the bungalow bunnies?" She whispers, "of course she does, I told her, I don't want to lie to her but it would be really weird if she knows that I've had sex with one of her teachers," he whispers, she pats his arm a little, "don't worry, okay?" She asks, he looks at her and then nods, "thanks." He says, she smiles a little and walks away, he sighs and went back to work.
In the meantime Baby and Jenny are walking back after they went to see Billy, "I'm happy to have everyone here," Baby says with a smile, Jenny looks at her and smiles, "it's good to see senior being in love," Jenny says and they giggle again, "yeah, I do hope she won't hurt him," Baby says, Jenny nods about that, they look around for a moment while walking on, "I think Chris likes Penny," Jenny says, Baby looks at her and giggles again, "it would be good for them both, they deserve the best," Baby says, "I agree, Pen is super sweet and nice, a little hard on the outside sometimes but that would be good for Chris, don't you think?" Jenny asks, Baby nods about that.
"Have you seen Lisa looking at Colin?" She asks now, Baby's eyebrows went up, Jenny giggles, "really?" Baby asks, "yeah, and your mother has seen it as well, I think Colin is her type, but he hasn't been looking at her," Jenny says, "give it time," Baby says, "maybe we should help them," Jenny whispers as she leans in a bit, Baby giggles about it, junior makes some baby sounds and she looks at him, "you're hungry, aren't you?" Baby asks with a smile, she gives him a little kiss, "we'll be home in a bit," she whispers, she looks at Jenny again, "I don't know, Jen, maybe we should give it some time," Baby says, Jenny smiles, "maybe, we'll see."
"Have you seen Peter?" Jenny asks, "I have, what about him?" Baby asks, "I mean, have you seen the twinkle in his eyes when he looked at your fiancé?" Jenny asks, Baby stops walking and looks at Jenny with her eyebrows up, Jenny giggles about it, "you think he's…?" Baby asks but didn't finished her question, Jenny nods with a smile, "I've been observing him, he got a little blush when Johnny shook his hand," Jenny says and giggles again, "it was adorable," she adds, making Baby giggle as well, "I wonder what it was about in the first half of the schoolyear then, I thought he was about you?" Baby asks, "me too, but he might have put up the charade because of the guys, guess he's not out about his sexuality," Jenny says, "I don't mind his sexuality though, I think he's nice," Baby says, "I think that as well." Jenny says and they walk on again.
It's silent for a moment again, both being in their own thoughts, "it was weird to see that Johnny knows Mrs. Flint already," Jenny says, Baby looks at her, "she told us on the last school day that she knows Johnny from here because she comes here every year on holiday," Baby says, "yeah, but I wonder, Baby," Jenny says and Baby looks at her for a second and then at her son, "you think they had sex?" Jenny asks, Baby looks at Jenny again, "I mean, they've been acting friendly against each other, but I could see that he felt a little awkward," Jenny says, Baby inhales deeply, "I'm not surprised if she was one of them, I know that the bungalow bunnies used him as their plaything," Baby says, "yeah, but Mrs. Flint doesn't seem to be a bungalow bunny," Jenny says, Baby nods, "she's not, but like I said, I'm not surprised if he had sex with her as well," Baby says, "doesn't that bother you?" Jenny asks, "I don't know, I just don't want to think about it, these things he did are in the past and I trust him completely," Baby says, Jenny smiles a little now, "I admire you, Baby, I think I would've been jealous if Billy had done those things."
"I see it like this, Johnny and I have started a life together, we've been putting our past behind us and we're focused on the present and our future," Baby says and smiles now, Jenny nods with a bigger smile now, "I can't possibly be mad at him for what he did before we met, can I?" Baby asks, "you're right, Baby, everyone comes with bagage," Jenny says, "yeah, it's about what happens in the present," Baby says as they arrive at the cabin, "you want to come in for a drink?" Baby asks, "no, I'm going to bed early today, it's been a long day and Billy will be done working soon as well," Jenny says, they hug shortly, Jenny gives junior a kiss on his little head, "good night," she says, "good night, Jen." Baby says, Jenny walks to Billy's cabin, Baby walks inside her cabin, she puts some music on and sits down to feed her son.
Later that evening, Johnny is done working and went back to his cabin, he walks inside and sees that the lamp next to the bed is still burning, he quietly closed the door and locks it, he takes his shoes off and looks at Baby, she seems asleep, he smiles and went to look at his son, junior is having his eyes open and making soft sounds, "hey, little man, you can't sleep?" He whispers as he lifts his son up, then he makes a face of filth and turns his head a bit, "I can imagine why you can't sleep, let's clean you," Johnny whispers and turns, he changed the diaper and smiles as he watch his son falling asleep, he takes a little foot and is still full of wonder of what he and Baby have made, he looks at his son's sleeping face with a happy smile, he lifts his son up and lays him back in his crib, "good night, little man, dream softly." He whispers and gives a little kiss on his son's head.
He went to wash his hands and walks to the bed, he takes his clothes off and lays down, he turns to face Baby and watches her face, he smiles happily and softly pushes some hair out of her face, he could look at her forever, Baby smiles and moves herself against him, he gives her a kiss on her head and inhales deeply, she gives a few kisses on his chest and open her eyes, he's smelling her scent and it smells so familiar, having her in his arms every night feels so familiar as well, she moves her head and he opens his eyes to look in hers, "hey, you," she whispers, he smiles and kisses her slowly, Baby inhales deeply and closes her eyes, "I love you," he whispers, she smiles and lays her hand on his cheek, "I love you too, how was work?" She whispers, "like always."
They cuddle for a bit, he gives her kisses from time to time, Baby thinks of the conversation she had with Jenny on their way back, "Johnny?" She whispers, "yeah?" He whispers, he's having his eyes closed while his hand is caressing her waist softly, "do you have something to tell me? Like, do you have a secret?" Baby whispers as she lift her head up to look in his eyes, "why would you think I've got a secret?" He whispers, "Johnny, I know when you're fidgeting, what's bothering you?" She whispers, Johnny sighs deeply and turns on his back, Baby pushes herself up on her elbow and looks at his face, "I'm not sure if I should tell you, I don't want to make things awkward," he whispers as he looks at the ceiling, "is this about Bianca?" Baby asks, he turns his head and looks at her face, "you had sex with her, didn't you?" She whispers, Johnny looks away, "I could see it already because you were so awkward when she was near us," she whispers, he looks at her again, "I really don't want to talk about it, Baby."
"I just want to have confirmation," she whispers, he inhales deeply, "it happened 4 years ago, she was drunk, I was tipsy, she bumped into me on her way back to her cabin, I brought her to her cabin and one thing led to the other," he whispers, she lays her hand on his cheek and gives him a soft kiss, "it was a huge mistake, she said that to me as well, it shouldn't have happened, it really meant nothing," he whispers, his hand went through her hair and she gives him a kiss again, "I've let her promise me not to tell anyone, I didn't want to make things awkward for you at school," he whispers, "Johnny, I trust you and I believe you, I know you," she whispers with a smile, "I don't want to have secrets for you, Baby," he whispers, "I'm sorry for not telling you."
"Don't be, you thought it was best not to tell me, but I'm glad you confirmed my thoughts," she whispers with a smile now, "besides, it was years ago, I can't be mad or jealous of what you did before our relationship," she whispers, he looks in her eyes and they gaze at each other for some moments, "you're amazing, Baby," he whispers and starts to kiss her passionately, she push him a bit away and looks in his eyes, "I'm not, I just really love you," she whispers and giggles a little as he went to kiss her throat, "and I'll show you how much I love you." He whispers and moves on top of her, she giggles a little and they kiss again.
