Chapter 30 Planning vibes

The days went by and everyone is having so much fun, Baby could see the happy faces from her friends and family, it made her truly happy, she looks at junior as she sits on a pool chair near the lake, junior is moving his arms, she smiles and tickles him a little, he makes baby sounds and smiles, he gave his first smile yesterday when Johnny was dancing while holding him, Baby is sure junior will be a dancer too, he really seems to love it when his father is dancing with him.

Jenny is with Billy now, who's having a free morning, Johnny is having lessons, he really got busy now, and normally he goes to the staff house after work, but now he comes home and spent an hour with his family before they go to sleep, "who's a happy boy?" Baby asks in a baby voice as she tickles him again, he keeps smiling as he looks at her, Marge came to her and sits down, "having fun?" She asks, Baby looks at her mother and smiles, "yeah, look at him, he's having his father's smile," Baby says and they look at junior, "don't you need to arrange things for the wedding?" Marge asks, Baby looks at her with a smile, "Jen and I are not allowed to arrange anything, the men want to do it," Baby says, "what about your dress?" Marge asks, "the day after tomorrow we're going to a bridal shop."

"You're enjoying your holiday, mom?" Baby asks, she doesn't sees her family the whole day, she had one lunch and one dinner with them so far, but she rather cooks for her family or waits for Johnny to cook, she's really enjoying the family life now and being a mother, "yeah, very much, your father still seems to have difficulty with you not being his little girl anymore," Marge says, Baby smiles, "he'll get use to it, mom, just give him time, you know how long it took him to accept Johnny," Baby says, "I know, but Baby," Marge says, making Baby look at her, "it would be nice if you could visit him more often, I know you're busy with junior and your family, but this summer is special and I think it would be nice if you could spent a little more time with your father," Marge says with a serious face now, Baby sighs, "taking care of junior takes all of time, but I will visit dad more often, after the wedding we're having our honeymoon here, then we can visit as much as we want."

"Don't you want to spent time with your family on your honeymoon?" Marge asks, "mom, I love you and dad, and Lisa, and my friends, and we're here at Kellerman's, I don't mind spending time with my family and my friends," Baby says, Marge smiles again, "in fact, I love spending time with everyone, it's just that I easily get caught up with junior," Baby says as she looks at her son again, "I understand that, Baby, I remember when you were a baby, seeing your smiles, hearing your giggles was amazing." Marge smiles as she looks at junior again.

Johnny is on his break and went to Chris, Billy told him he would come too, he walks up the stairs and knocks on the door, "enter," Johnny opens the door and sees Chris sitting on a chair, "hey Johnny," he says and stands up, they hug shortly as a matter of greeting, "you're not going outside? The sun feels good," Johnny says as he points at the door, "I was waiting for you and Billy," Chris says with a smile, they sit down, "you're loving your holiday so far?" Johnny asks, "yeah, it's amazing here, and it's so easy to forget about time and problems, mom and dad are truly happy as well," Chris says, "that's good to hear," Johnny says with a smile, "you're not having free days?" Chris asks, "after the wedding, then it's our honeymoon and I'm having off for the rest of the season," Johnny answers, Chris nods, "how are things with Pen?" Johnny asks teasingly.

Chris blushes a little and looks away from Johnny, the last few days have been amazing for Chris, he had a date with Penny and they're officially together now, they've been hitting it off since the first evening and Johnny is really happy to see how happy and giggly Penny got, he has never seen her like this before, "you sure make her happy," Johnny says, Chris looks up at him and smiles, "she's amazing, Johnny, makes me wonder why I deserve her," Chris says, "anything wrong?" Johnny asks, "oh, no, don't worry, we're officially together since yesterday by the way," Chris says, Johnny starts to grin and pats Chris' shoulder, "I hope you can make her happy like this for a long time, Chris, I never saw her this happy before."

Chris thinks for a moment while he keeps looking at Johnny, "don't you think that she'll get tired of me one day? I mean, I'm like 7 years younger," Chris pauses and sits down, "not that I mind the age difference, I mean, maybe she does mind?" Chris asks, Johnny sits down as well, "I don't think you should be worried about that, she had a thing with a college-boy your age last year," Johnny says, thinking about Robbie made him angry but tried not to show that, Chris nods, "yeah, she told me about the happenings from last year, I'm happy Baby's father saved her and that she still can have children," Chris says, Johnny starts to grin again, "what?" Chris asks, "you want to have kids with Pen?" Johnny asks, "maybe, I first want to see how it all goes, I want to do this step by step," Chris pauses a moment, "I'm very serious about her, she's my first girlfriend as well, she knows and my first time will be soon, she told me she wants to be my first, but I'm so nervous about it."

Johnny chuckles about it, making Chris blush, "don't worry, Pen knows how to handle it, I'm sure you'll enjoy it very much," Johnny says with a wink, "I never told anyone that I'm still a virgin," Chris says, "I won't tell anyone, you're with my best friend and I'm very happy for you both, but please don't hurt her like Robbie did, because then I will kill you," Johnny says, "you scare me already," Chris says and Johnny chuckles about it, Chris is watching Johnny while thinking, "you had a thing with Pen?" Chris asks curiously, Johnny sees his face but keeps smiling, "when we were young, about your age, maybe younger," Johnny answers, "also with sex?" Chris nearly whispers, "she was my first, I was her first, I can't remember much of it to be honest, we didn't stay together for long either," Johnny says, "why not?" Chris asks, "we don't fit, I wasn't making her happy because I wanted different things than she wanted, I think I wasn't ready for a steady relationship either," Johnny says, "you never thought about it to try again?" Chris asks, "no, I see her more as a sister."

Billy walks to Chris' cabin and sees Peter and Colin coming, he smiles as he stops to wait for them, Peter and Colin spent a lot of time with Chris and the girls, and as much with Billy and Johnny as that was possible, "hey, guys," Billy says with a smile, "hey, you're on a break?" Colin asks, "I had the morning off, I need to go to work soon, but Johnny wanted me to come to Chris' cabin," Billy says, "yeah, he told us yesterday to come too," Peter says with a smile, Billy chuckles, they all could see how Peter reacts when he sees Johnny, though they respect his decision of not coming out yet, he's not ready, "you know why we need to go there?" Colin asks as they walk on, "it's about the wedding, Johnny and I have arranged the dinner menu, the music for the party, and we got a pastor to do the ceremony," Billy says, they nod at him, "we just need to decide on the theme, and all that," Billy says, "when is the wedding exactly?" Colin asks as they walk up the stairs.

Billy knocks on the door, "enter," Chris says and the three walk inside, "hey guys," Chris says, Johnny and him greet the three, Peter blushes when Johnny gave him a short hug, "to answer your question, Colin," Billy says, Colin looks at him, "the wedding is next week on Thursday," Billy says, "okay, but why do we need to be here as well?" Colin asks now, "because Billy and I have been talking," Johnny says and they look at him, Billy smiles and puts his hands in his pockets, "and we came to the conclusion that we don't want to exclude you two, especially now since you're friends as well," Johnny says, "what does that mean?" Peter asks a little confused, "we want you both to be our best men as well, together with Chris," Billy says, Peter gasps a little and lays his hands over his mouth, the others chuckle a little, "I take that as a yes," Johnny says with a wink, Peter hugs them, Billy chuckles, "I feel honored," Peter nearly whispers, "me too." Colin says.

"Great, now why I told you to come here, most has been arranged already, Billy and I have been deciding about the theme, and we're having a struggle here," Johnny says, Colin sits down, "what struggle?" Chris asks, "Billy wants a traditional theme, you know, simple with flowers and he wants to have the ceremony done at the gazebo," Johnny explains, the guys nods, "and you?" Peter asks, "I want a wedding that's themed about dancing, no flowers, but I do want Tito's band playing music and I want the ceremony at the lake with a little porch," Johnny says with a smile, the guys are thinking, "it's quite difficult to decide when you both have two different themes," Colin says, Peter looks at him and is thinking, "not necessarily, the only struggle is where the ceremony will be held," Peter says, they look at him, "you got an idea?" Johnny asks.

Peter paces a little while thinking, "the gazebo is at the lake, isn't it?" Peter asks, "yeah," Billy answers, Peter stops pacing and smiles, "well, you can combine," Peter says, "how?" Johnny asks, "you can use flowers, so you have that traditional touch that Billy wants," Peter says, they nod, "and you can use Tito's band to play music on the background, that's the touch of Johnny's idea," Peter says, Billy and Johnny look at each other and start to smile, "I like that," Johnny says, "me too, cuz," Billy says, "what about the ceremony?" Johnny asks, "well, if you dress the gazebo up so it looks like a porch, and the ceremony is held on the lake side of the gazebo, you know with the lake on the background," Peter says, Chris is smiling about Peter's input, "then you both have it combined," Peter says, Billy grabs Peter in a hug, Johnny did too, "thanks, I really love that idea." Johnny says.

"Yeah, me too," Billy says, "would you like to help us organizing it?" Johnny asks, "I can, if you need someone because you're both working hard," Peter says with a wide smile, "good, we could use that extra help," Billy says with a smile, "I need to get to work now, can we discuss tomorrow what colors of flowers and all that?" Billy asks, "sure, I don't have lessons in the afternoon," Johnny says, "Peter, be at Johnny's cabin in the afternoon, he'll make sure Baby isn't there," Billy says with a smile, "okay," Peter says, "if you need extra help," Chris says and Colin nods, "you two might help building everything up, but I need to tell Max the idea anyway, he has been asking me." Johnny says.

"I'm going, see ya later," Billy says and they nod, he walks away, "okay, then another thing, we're going to look for suits the day after tomorrow, Billy and I got a day off for it," Johnny says, "okay, looking forward," Peter says, the other two chuckle, "the girls will be looking for a dress that same day, so," Johnny says, "we'll be going with my car and the girls are going with Baby's car," Johnny says, "I just want to ask you, Colin and you, Chris to do one thing, today," Johnny says, they nod, "what is it?" Chris asks, "Colin, I want you to go to Lisa and tell her to be at my cabin the day after tomorrow, she's Baby's maid of honor and she needs a dress as well," Johnny says, "I'm going now before I forget," Colin says, Johnny nods and Colin walks away, "you want me to tell Pen?" Chris asks, "yeah, tell her to come to my cabin as well, she'll also be getting a dress, she's Jen's maid of honor and I arranged with Max that she's having the day off as well," Johnny says, Chris nods, "I'm going now, I know she's having a break now." Chris says, Johnny nods with a smile, Chris went away.

Johnny looks at Peter who's getting really nervous now he's alone with Johnny, "you're nervous?" Johnny asks as he puts his hands in his pockets, "I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't, but I can't help it," Peter nearly whispers and sits down, "I know you're gay," Johnny says and sits down as well, Peter looks up at him and sighs deeply, "how did you know?" Peter asks, "you're quite obvious, everyone can see it, why don't you come out?" Johnny asks curiously, Peter looks down again, "I can't," he whispers, "why not?" Johnny asks, "because my dad will kill me, he hates homosexuals," he explains, "I'm sorry to hear that, but there comes a day he will know," Johnny says, "I know, but I like to keep it like this for as long as possible," Peter says, "will you please not tell anyone?" He asks, "I won't, but they already think you are," Johnny says, Peter sighs again, "people judge me when I will come out," Peter whispers again, "not everyone, your friends won't judge you, we all like you a lot, but take your time, I just want you to know that we all support you."

"Thanks, Johnny, I appreciate that, but I need the right time for this," Peter says, they both stand up now, "I need to get back to work in a bit, I've got a lesson in a few minutes," Johnny says, "okay, you want me to look for options on flowers and decorations?" Peter asks, "yeah, please," Johnny says with a smile, "I'm gonna look around, I've got some connections," Peter says, "you love doing these things, don't you?" Johnny asks as they walk outside, "yeah, helping couples getting their dream wedding or wanting a surprise party for someone else, it feels good to do that, to make people happy like that," Peter says, "I'm sure you would make a great wedding planner," Johnny says as they're down the stairs, Johnny lays his hand on Peter's shoulder who looks at Johnny's face, "thanks, Peter." He says, Peter only nods, Johnny walks away and Peter sighs deeply as he looks after Johnny.

Colin walks to the Houseman's cabin and knocks on the door, Jake opens the door, "hey, Colin," he says, "hey, Mr. Houseman," Colin starts, "you can call me Jake, any friend of Baby is like family to us," Jake says and Colin smiles, "sorry, it's a habit," Colin says, Jake smiles, "it's a good habit, now why do I have the honor of your visit?" Jake asks, "I need to talk to Lisa, it's about the wedding," Colin says, "Lisa isn't here, she's in the playhouse, but I can tell her if you leave a message," Jake says, "I rather tell her in person, Johnny told me to do so," Colin says, "alright, well, she's in the playhouse, look for her there," Jake says and opens the door, "thank you, Jake," Colin says, Jake smiles again, but before he goes back inside, "can I ask you what you need to tell Lisa?" Jake asks curiously, "guess it's not a secret, I need to tell her that she needs to be at Johnny's cabin the day after tomorrow," Colin says, "ah, it's for the dresses," Jake says and Colin nods, Baby had told Jake about it, "go to her." Jake says and went back inside.

Colin looks at the door for a second and inhales a bit, he turns and walks to the playhouse, he thinks about Lisa and smiles, he hadn't noticed her at first, but days ago Baby had set them up for a dance and she has caught his eyes, she's not the simple girl, she knows what she wants and he likes that about her, but he never dared to tell her that he likes her, he quickly enters the playhouse and looks around, there are games and storytelling, his eyes are scanning the room and then he spots her, she's singing with the kids, they're giggling and she smiles, Colin's eyes became soft, he hasn't seen this side from her and he feels how his heart is beating in his throat now, she spots him and smiles, she waves and he walks to her.

"Hey," Colin says, "hey, Colin, you're coming to join us with singing?" Lisa asks, Colin looks at the kids who are smiling at him, "I can't sing," he says and looks at Lisa again, "I got a message from Johnny for you," Colin says, Lisa's eyebrows went up, "what message?" She asks curious, "I need to tell you that you need to be at his cabin the day after tomorrow, be there in the morning," Colin says, "why?" She asks still being curious, "you're going out with the girls, looking for dresses," Colin says with a smile, Lisa starts to smile as well, "I'll be there," Lisa says with a nod, she's looking forward to the wedding and being Baby's maid of honor, when Baby asked her she felt so happy and honored, looking for dresses and dressing up is totally her thing, Colin could see it on her face and he chuckles a little, "thanks, Colin," Lisa says, he looks at the kids again who are patiently waiting to go on with singing, he looks back at her, "this evening is dance evening in the main hall," he starts and she nods, still smiling, "would you like to have a dance with me?"

The kids giggle about it, he looks at them and so did Lisa, she giggles about their faces, she looks back at Colin, who looks at her again as well, she smiles, "I would love to dance with you," Lisa says, the kids giggle again, Colin starts to smile wider, making Lisa to giggle again, "I'm going further with singing, they're waiting," Lisa says, Colin nods, "see ya this evening," Colin says, "see ya." Lisa says, Colin turns and walks away, Lisa looks at him with a smile, "you gonna kiss him too?" A girl asks, "maybe," Lisa says, "he likes you," a boy says and the others giggle again, "do you like him too?" The same girl asks, "I do, but let's get back to singing." Lisa says, the kids giggle as they went to stand in a circle again.

Chris walks to Penny's cabin and knocks on her door, she opens it and smiles when she sees him, she let him inside, and turns after closing the door, he looks at her as she moves herself close to him, he lays his arms around her waists, they kiss for a moment, "I missed you," she whispers, "already?" He asks teasingly and she giggles, she lays her arms around his neck and they kiss again, "don't you need to get back to work?" He asks, "in a bit, I only have two lessons this afternoon," she says and he nods, she bit her lip and he inhales a little, "come to the dance studio after the lessons, I'm gonna give you a lesson, I want my boy to be good at dancing," she whispers, he chuckles, "boy makes me even look younger than I am, Pen," he whispers, "alright then, my man." she whispers, he kisses her again and she push herself up on her toes.

They kiss for some moments, both enjoying the feelings, his hands are softly caressing her lower back, her hands go through his hair, she looks in his eyes, "you're nervous?" She whispers, "yeah, like hell," he whispers, "you'll be fine, I promise," she whispers, he sighs a little, "what if I disappoint you?" He asks, "I'm sure you won't, I know the first time is not really that amazing, it probably will be fast done, I mean," she says, "I know what you mean, but that's what scares me, what if I can't give you enough pleasure?" He asks, "you will, we can practice as often as we want after the first time," she winks and he chuckles a little, "you're so experienced, I'm just really scared that I will disappoint you," he whispers, "will you stop? You'll be fine." She says in a more stern tone now, he inhales a little and nods.

She gives him a sweet kiss and he kisses his way down to her throat, making her giggle a little, "is that why you came?" She whispers, he looks up and shakes his head, "then why you came?" She asks as she starts to sway a little, he sways with her, "Johnny told me that I need to tell you to be at his cabin the day after tomorrow," he says, her eyebrows went up, "why? I need to work," she says, "he arranged with Max that you got the day off," he says, they stop swaying and she looks at him, he sees her curious eyes, "you're going out with the girls, looking for dresses for the wedding," he says and she starts to smile, he gives her a kiss, "I'm gonna make sure that I'll look good for you," she whispers and points at his chest, "looking forward." He whispers, she giggles and they kiss again.
