Part eight: A few persons will be surprised
Johnny went in the morning to the bus station to pick up Billy. Babe was still sleeping at this time. He made her some breakfast because after she was awaken she was going to be at the office doing the paperwork.
When Babe woke up she was feeling ill again. This time worse than before. After some minutes she was feeling better. She went down to the office where she would wait for Johnny and his cousin Billy. About twenty minutes later Babe saw Johnny's car pulling up at the curbs. Johnny and Billy went to the school.
Johnny: Billy, this is my school. My girlfriend will be in it or up in our apartment.
Billy: It looks great. How did you managed this?
Johnny: We will tell you this later. Lets go in, I think someone will meet you.
Johnny and Billy went inside. Babe heard them entering and went out to the lobby.
Babe: Hi Billy. How are you?
Billy: What are you doing here Babe?
Johnny: She is living here. Come up to our apartment and we are going to explain it.
The three of them went up. Johnny and Babe told them about they had gone back together after the season was over and that they have built this school. Billy was totally surprised.
Billy: I know that you had a thing with her back at Kellerman's but I hadn't thought the it was this serious. I can't believe it. The womanizer Johnny Castle is taken from the market. The female guest at Kellerman's will be disappointed if you are going back sometime.
Johnny: We are going back this season. Babe is going to help me teaching. So Max won't say something about us.
Billy: That's a great solution and I'm going to be a porter again.
Babe: Perhaps we can do something about this. But I need to talk to Johnny first.
Billy was taken to the guest room where he put his things away.
Johnny: What did you mean?
Babe: When we are going to be at Kellerman's the school will be closed, won't it? Since I'm going with you as your partner Penny could stay here and teach but she is going to need a partner, too. We could learn Billy how to teach. He would have a job.
Johnny: It's a great idea but I don't know if Billy would do this. But we can ask him. What's about tonight. Have you invited Lisa?
Babe: No, but I'm going to talk to her in a little while. Make only sure that Billy will stay in the school. You know this city is not very big so they could see each other before we get the change to let them meet.
Babe went to Lisa after the breakfast. Johnny showed Billy the work he would do at the office and he showed a little bit from his courses with Penny's help.
Lisa agreed to a dinner date at the apartment tonight. But Babe didn't say a word about their other guest.
Back in the apartment, Johnny was making the dinner. Billy was wondering why they made such a fuss. When he saw that the table was sat for four persons he asked Johnny.
Billy: Is Penny coming, too?
Johnny: No Penny isn't coming. She got a dinner date herself. A friend is coming. I hope you don't mind, she's really nice.
Billy: Of course not. It's good to meet new people.
When Lisa arrived Babe let her in. She had to speak to her first.
Babe: Lisa, I hope you don't mind but we have another visitor. Would you like to know something about the guy who helped Billy getting the job.
Lisa: Yeah, why not!
Babe: He worked there, too. I knew him very well. He was dancer and had some problems because he was involved with a guest.
Lisa: Whoa. Stop! Dancer? Involved with a guest. The only person I know who could be it is Johnny. Billy is Johnny's cousin.
Babe: Yes, Johnny is Billy's cousin.
Lisa and Babe went up. Johnny and Billy were at the living room. Babe pushed Lisa into it. She only saw the back of the men.
Babe: Lisa, I would like you to meet our other guest.
Johnny and Billy were turning toward the women. Billy faced Lisa. He couldn't believe it. There was the woman the loves standing.
Lisa: Billy what are you doing here?
Billy: Johnny invited me. He said he had a job for me. But what you are doing here?
Babe: She's living here with our parents. I don't know if you know the fact but Lisa is my younger sister.
Billy: No, I hadn't know this. I saw you two a few times together at Kellerman's but I thought you have met there. Have you knew this?
Johnny: I have known that Lisa is Babe's sister. But I didn't know that you both were knowing each other.
Babe smiled at Johnny. He was a good liar. Billy whispered something into Johnny's ear.
Billy: She is the girl I'm in love with.
Johnny smiled. There plan had a good start. Lets see what the two of them were doing with it.
Lisa: Babe have you something to do with this? I mean you knew that I was writing Billy and that he is Johnny's cousin. A few days after I told you that he is standing here in your apartment.
Babe: I have nothing to do with it. I haven't told Johnny about the letters and I didn't know that he was offering Billy my job. I only noticed it when he was standing in the lobby. So I thought that it would be nice if you two would meet again. I mean you haven't that much time at the last night at Kellerman's. So come on guys. Lets have dinner and enjoy the evening. Mom knows that you are with me and Johnny so she won't be worried if you come back a bit later.
After midnight Babe, Johnny and Billy brought Lisa back home to her mother who were waiting for her. Babe and Johnny walked pass the house but Billy stopped there to kiss Lisa good-bye.
Babe: I think they are going to be a great couple.
Johnny: I think this, too. But what is your father going to say?
Babe: I don't know. It will be a shock for him when Lisa tells him that she is seeing a guy who worked as porter and who is your cousin. Nothing against you but you know how he reacted as we told him about us. But perhaps he had learnt from it and let Lisa live her own life. I am happy for her and I will help her with Daddy.
Johnny, Babe and Billy went back to the school. The two men stood up early in the morning because Johnny was going to show Billy a few dances and the morning hours were the only ones the school was empty. When Babe woke up she was feeling ill again. She thought that this couldn't be normal. She would go to the doctor this week. Before her first class at college began she went to a doctor she knew from her father. He, Bobby Holy was taking her between two appointments.
Bobby: Frances what can I do for you? Why aren't you going to your father?
Babe: My father is at a congress and he is very anxious about me. I don't want to bother him.
Bobby made a examination.
Babe: So what's wrong with me? It can't be normal that I'm feeling ill each morning.
Bobby: You have told me that is just after you woke up. And then it could be normal sometimes.
Babe: What do you mean? What can I do against it?
Bobby: I think you have to live with it for the next few weeks. You can't do anything about it. Frances, you are five weeks pregnant.
Babe: What? It can't be!
Bobby: I understand you but you have a boyfriend, haven't you?
Babe: Yes, I have. And we love each other. And I think we are going to love our child. But this means that I can't take part in the dance competition. Can I still dance for some weeks?
Bobby: I think you can dance as long as you have no problems. But please be careful.
Babe: Thanks doctor. Please don't tell Daddy about it. I will tell it him by myself.
Babe left the surgery and went to the college. She was smiling all the time. Her colleague were wondering about her light mood but she said not a word about it. When she got home she went straight to the office. Johnny was there.
Johnny: Hi, darling. Lisa invited us for dinner at your parents house. She is going to tell her mother about Billy.
Babe: Great. Mom will be happy. She doesn't even his name and we she sees Billy she will be surprised. I think she will take it better than Daddy.
Johnny: Lets hops so.
Babe: I think it will be better if I go to Mom first and you and Billy arrive a few minutes after me. I think we need to prepare Mom a bit for this news.
Johnny: Okay, we will come later.
Johnny, Babe and Billy were getting ready for the evening. Babe went to her mother first. Lisa was waiting for her.
Lisa: Good that you came first so we have a little time to speak to Mom.
Marge: Hello Babe. Where is Johnny?
Babe: Hi Mom. He will come later. Lisa needs to speak with you.
The three women went to the living room.
Marge: What's wrong, my darling?
Lisa: You know that there is a guy how I'm writing with. He's from Philadelphia. I met him at Kellerman's. And we felt in love. Since that day we are writing.
Marge: Go on.
Lisa: I met him yesterday. I didn't know that he was here.
Marge: But I thought you were at Babe's place.
Just in this moment the doorbell was ringing. Lisa and Babe went to answer it. The men went to their girls.
Lisa: Mom, I would like you to met my friend Billy.
Marge: You are the guy who carried our luggage at the first day of or visit.
Lisa: We had dance together on the last night.
Marge: And what are you doing here? I mean other things that visiting Lisa?
Billy: I'm going to work here!
Babe: Billy is going to take over my office job at the school so I can teach more and do more for the college.
Marge: Where have you known about the school and I didn't even know that you were offering a job.
Billy: I didn't know about the school in the first place. I first learned about it when Johnny took me there and told me about it. I didn't know that he was still involved with Babe and that Lisa is Babe's sister. Johnny had asked me about the job four days ago.
Babe: I didn't know either that Johnny was Billy offering my job. I was totally surprised when I saw him yesterday. And because I knew that Lisa is writing him I thought they could meet for dinner with Johnny and me. He is staying in our guest room for now.
Marge: What? You let a stranger stay in your apartment.
Johnny: Mrs. Houseman, Billy is not really a stranger. First I knew him from my time at Kellerman's and second he is my cousin. So you see, you don't need to be worried.
They has a very nice evening. Marge really liked Billy. He was such a nice guy and she knew now what Lisa was finding so attractive on him. She only was worried about the reaction of her husband if he was finding out that his other daughter was dating to a man who is working in a office, as a porter and who is Johnny's cousin.
On the next morning Johnny left the apartment before Babe woke up so he doesn't see her illness. Today was Babe's birthday. Johnny had managed that Penny took over all his classes so he could make a special dinner for her. Right after Babe left for college he went back into their apartment to prepare the dinner. After this he went to a jeweler and bought a beautiful necklace for her. It was a plain chain with a heart pendant which had 18 tiny blue topaz'. She would like it. After this he went to a flower shop and bought 18 red roses. Then he went to the college to pick her up. He waited in front of the building. After a few minutes a group of students left the building. Babe was among them. When she saw him she ran to him. He was hiding the roses behind his back.
Babe: Johnny, what are you doing here?
Johnny: I missed you so I thought I could pick you up.
Johnny showed her the roses.
Babe: For what are the roses?
Johnny: Happy birthday, sweetheart.
Babe: You have not forgotten it? That's sweet.
Babe kissed him. Just in this moment Jenny showed up.
Jenny: Hi Babe. Where is this?
Babe: This is the sweetest men of earth, my boyfriend Johnny.
Jenny: He bought you roses?
Johnny: It's her birthday today. It's a part of my gift.
Jenny: It's your birthday? Well, congratulation.
Jenny left them and Babe and Johnny went to the apartment.
Babe: You have a class now, haven't you?
Johnny: No, Penny took over all my classes. I would spent the whole day with you. Penny and Billy said hello to you.
Babe: Thanks. So what are we going to do today?
Johnny: You are going to do nothing. We will have dinner, you will get the rest of my gift and we will enjoy the time alone. Billy is going to go the late night performance with Lisa. So he won't be back before midnight.
Babe: Well, come to me and let us enjoy the day. Perhaps you will get a gift, too.
Johnny: But it's your birthday and I have already my biggest gift. You!
Babe: Thank you. Johnny will you answer me some questions, please?
Johnny: I will do everything you want. So ask me.
Babe: You know that I love you and that I will spent my whole life with you but there is a topic we haven't spoke about.
Johnny: I know this and I will do the same. So what topic do you mean?
Babe: I mean children! Would you like to have children?
Johnny: I would love to have children with you. But what's about you? I mean you are much younger than I and you just started college.
Babe: I like the idea of a child with you and I would take the time. I love children and I always dreamed to have one of myself with the man I love.
Johnny: I think you would be a good mother. But let us wait a little bit longer with having a child.
Babe only smiled to his answer. She had planned to make a romantically dinner to tell him about the baby. But this day would be perfect, too. Perhaps she was going to tell him tonight. Babe and Johnny had dinner together. Before he served the dessert he gave Babe a small box. She opened it.
Babe: Johnny, this is beautiful. But you don't need to give such a expensive gift.
Johnny: I know, but when I saw it I thought that you would like it.
Babe: I love it, Johnny. I think there is something I you need to know.
Johnny: Babe, is everything all right?
Babe: I hope so. Do you remember the day after we went to the seafood restaurant? I was ill the next morning.
Johnny: Yeah, I remember this. I was worried about you. Since I know you, you were never ill.
Babe: The next days after this you left the apartment before I woke up and so you didn't notice that I was ill again. Each day. So I went to the doctor two days ago.
Johnny: What did he say? Are you ill?
Babe: No. Not really. He said that is okay that I'm ill in the morning. The most of pregnant women have this.
Johnny: I know this. Penny was ill, too. But why you?
Babe: Johnny, I'm pregnant!
Johnny: What?!?
Babe: We are going to have a baby in about seven months.
Johnny: I can't believe it. We are going to have a baby? Oh my god!!!
Babe: I thought the same when the doctor told me.
Johnny: We are going to have a baby!
Babe: Yeah, we are going to be parents.
Johnny: What are you going to say your parents? They are going to kill me!
Babe: No they won't. Daddy had given us one year. Our school is very successful and I'm the best student in my classes. He can't say something about us. We love each other and we are going to stay together after this year. So there's no problem.
Johnny: There is a problem. What are we doing with the baby when you are at the college?
Babe: We have enough time to think about this.
Johnny: And there is another problem.
Babe: Which one?
Johnny: You can't dance with me at Kellerman's.
Babe: Why not? Dr. Holy told me that I could dance for me weeks if I'm careful. And you know that I'm careful.
Johnny: A few weeks? Okay so you can take part at the competition. But you will be six months pregnant. Do you think you still will dance at this point?
Babe: Okay, I don't know this. But we will have some time to find it out.
Babe and Johnny celebrated this news a little while before Billy went home from his date with Lisa.
The next day, a saturday Jake was coming back from New York. Lisa and Marge thought that it would be better to speak with him about Billy just on this night. He would be to tired to be angry with Lisa. And Babe thought she could tell them about the pregnancy. When Jake arrived at the house Lisa went straight to him to speak with him.
Lisa: Hi Daddy. Did you have a nice trip?
Jack: It was very stressful. Has anything happen here?
Lisa: That's why I need to speak with you.
Jack: What's the matter sweetheart? Did something happen to Babe?
Lisa: No, Babe is all right. It's about me. When we left Kellerman's I started to write to a guy I met there. He's in town since a couple of days. He's very sweet and nice. He likes me and I like him. He's my boyfriend. You are going to meet him tonight. Mom and I have invited him, Babe and Johnny for dinner. I hope you don't mind.
Jack: Who's this guy. Do I know him?
Lisa: I don't know but you are going to meet him tonight. Then he can tell you about himself.
Jack: Okay, I'll wait. But now I think I go to the school and visit Babe.
Jake left the house and went to the school. Lisa called Babe before he was going to arrive.
Lisa: Babe, Daddy is back and he is coming to the school. Please hide Billy.
Babe: Okay, I will send him to Granny to help her with the garden. Penny and Johnny are having a class. See you tonight.
A few minutes after the call her father arrived. Babe was down at the office doing some paperwork. He knocked on the door and went inside.
Jake: Hi darling. How are you?
Babe: Daddy? You are here? I'm fine! What are you doing here? I thought I would see you tonight.
Jake: I was missing you. I had a lot of time to think in the last week. You should know that it is okay for me that you have this school as long as you happy. And I am very proud of you. You are the best in your classes and you did a great job with this school.
Babe: Thank you, Daddy. But it's not only because of me. Johnny did a good job with it. And Penny. They are great teachers. Our students love them. And now we are hiring a office help so I can concentrate on the college. And help a little bit more with teaching. Besides that we have to practice for the competition next month.
Jake: You will win this, without doubt. See you tonight. Say hello to your dancer.
Jake smiled when he left the school. He went back to his house were he help his wife and his younger daughter to fix the dinner. Babe were telling Johnny about the visit of her father. He couldn't believe it.
Johnny: He came on his free will? I think he had changed. Hopefully he will take the news tonight better than the news that we are going to stay together.
Babe: I think he will. He was never so worried about Lisa like about me. And I think he had accepted you and he will be happy to become a grandfather in a few months. So I hope.
Johnny, Billy and Babe arrived together on the house. Lisa opened the door and kissed Billy.
Lisa: Daddy, this is my boyfriend Billy. Billy this is my dad, Dr. Jake Houseman.
Jake: I know you. You are a porter at Kellerman's?
Billy: Yes, I was the porter. But I going to be a dance instructor in some months.
Jake: Oh no, not again.
Marge: Please Jake, calm down. Billy is a nice guy.
Jake: If you are going to be a dance instructor I think you will work at Babe's school.
Babe: He is the office help I was speaking about before, too.
Lisa: Lets sit down and have dinner. We cooked the whole day.
It was a really nice evening. Jake seemed to like Billy. And he accepted Johnny in his house. Jake helped his wife to clean the table and the kitchen. The two couples were alone at the living room.
Babe: Shall we tell him about it?
Johnny: I don't know. Your father seemed to have a good day. Perhaps we should not ruin it.
Babe: But sometime soon they have to know it. Why not tonight?
Lisa: What's the matter, Babe?
Babe: We have some news we need to tell mom and dad. But we don't know if the right time now.
Lisa: I would try it. It's better to tell them as soon as you knew it.
Johnny: Okay, lets do it.
When Jake and Marge arrived with the coffee Babe began to speak.
Babe: Mom. Dad. I think Johnny and me we had some news that you need to know.
Marge: What's kind of news?
Johnny: We think it some good news.
Babe: This week I went to Dr. Holy because I was sick every morning for about one week. He said that I'm five weeks pregnant.
Jake: What, you are pregnant?
Babe: Yes and we are going to have this baby.
Marge: A baby! How sweet you are getting a baby. Congratulation.
Jake: Marge, please. Babe is only 18, not married and started college. She will have no time for a baby.
Johnny: I think we are going to find a solution.
Jake: Sure there is an easy solution. You are not going to have this baby!
Babe: I am not going to have an apportion. You was against it when Penny did it last year. Why are you now going to force me to have one?
Jake: You are too young to be a mother!
Johnny: No, she isn't. She's going to be a great mother and I will help her.
Marge: I am going to help her, too.
Babe: Thanks Mom. But I think we have enough time to think about the problems that the baby will bring with it.
TBC...
A/N: What do you think so far?
Johnny went in the morning to the bus station to pick up Billy. Babe was still sleeping at this time. He made her some breakfast because after she was awaken she was going to be at the office doing the paperwork.

Johnny had managed that Penny took over all his classes so he could make a special dinner for her. Right after Babe left for college he went back into their apartment to prepare the dinner. After this he went to a jeweler and bought a beautiful necklace for her. It was a plain chain with a heart pendant which had 18 tiny blue topaz'. She would like it. After this he went to a flower shop and bought 18 red roses. Then he went to the college to pick her up. He waited in front of the building. After a few minutes a group of students left the building. Babe was among them. When she saw him she ran to him. He was hiding the roses behind his back.
Babe: Johnny, what are you doing here?
Johnny: I missed you so I thought I could pick you up.
Johnny showed her the roses.
Babe: For what are the roses?
Johnny: Happy birthday, sweetheart.
Babe: You have not forgotten it? That's sweet.
Babe kissed him. Just in this moment Jenny showed up.
Jenny: Hi Babe. Where is this?
Babe: This is the sweetest men of earth, my boyfriend Johnny.
Jenny: He bought you roses?
Johnny: It's her birthday today. It's a part of my gift.
Jenny: It's your birthday? Well, congratulation.
Jenny left them and Babe and Johnny went to the apartment.
Babe: You have a class now, haven't you?
Johnny: No, Penny took over all my classes. I would spent the whole day with you. Penny and Billy said hello to you.
Babe: Thanks. So what are we going to do today?
Johnny: You are going to do nothing. We will have dinner, you will get the rest of my gift and we will enjoy the time alone. Billy is going to go the late night performance with Lisa. So he won't be back before midnight.
Babe: Well, come to me and let us enjoy the day. Perhaps you will get a gift, too.
Johnny: But it's your birthday and I have already my biggest gift. You!
Babe: Thank you. Johnny will you answer me some questions, please?
Johnny: I will do everything you want. So ask me.
Babe: You know that I love you and that I will spent my whole life with you but there is a topic we haven't spoke about.
Johnny: I know this and I will do the same. So what topic do you mean?
Babe: I mean children! Would you like to have children?
Johnny: I would love to have children with you. But what's about you? I mean you are much younger than I and you just started college.
Babe: I like the idea of a child with you and I would take the time. I love children and I always dreamed to have one of myself with the man I love.
Johnny: I think you would be a good mother. But let us wait a little bit longer with having a child.
Babe only smiled to his answer. She had planned to make a romantically dinner to tell him about the baby. But this day would be perfect, too. Perhaps she was going to tell him tonight. Babe and Johnny had dinner together. Before he served the dessert he gave Babe a small box. She opened it.
Babe: Johnny, this is beautiful. But you don't need to give such a expensive gift.
Johnny: I know, but when I saw it I thought that you would like it.
Babe: I love it, Johnny. I think there is something I you need to know.
Johnny: Babe, is everything all right?
Babe: I hope so. Do you remember the day after we went to the seafood restaurant? I was ill the next morning.
Johnny: Yeah, I remember this. I was worried about you. Since I know you, you were never ill.
Babe: The next days after this you left the apartment before I woke up and so you didn't notice that I was ill again. Each day. So I went to the doctor two days ago.
Johnny: What did he say? Are you ill?
Babe: No. Not really. He said that is okay that I'm ill in the morning. The most of pregnant women have this.
Johnny: I know this. Penny was ill, too. But why you?
Babe: Johnny, I'm pregnant!
Johnny: What?!?
Babe: We are going to have a baby in about seven months.
Johnny: I can't believe it. We are going to have a baby? Oh my god!!!
Babe: I thought the same when the doctor told me.
Johnny: We are going to have a baby!
Babe: Yeah, we are going to be parents.
Johnny: What are you going to say your parents? They are going to kill me!
Babe: No they won't. Daddy had given us one year. Our school is very successful and I'm the best student in my classes. He can't say something about us. We love each other and we are going to stay together after this year. So there's no problem.
Johnny: There is a problem. What are we doing with the baby when you are at the college?
Babe: We have enough time to think about this.
Johnny: And there is another problem.
Babe: Which one?
Johnny: You can't dance with me at Kellerman's.
Babe: Why not? Dr. Holy told me that I could dance for me weeks if I'm careful. And you know that I'm careful.
Johnny: A few weeks? Okay so you can take part at the competition. But you will be six months pregnant. Do you think you still will dance at this point?
Babe: Okay, I don't know this. But we will have some time to find it out.
Babe and Johnny celebrated this news a little while before Billy went home from his date with Lisa.
The next day, a saturday Jake was coming back from New York. Lisa and Marge thought that it would be better to speak with him about Billy just on this night. He would be to tired to be angry with Lisa. And Babe thought she could tell them about the pregnancy. When Jake arrived at the house Lisa went straight to him to speak with him.
Lisa: Hi Daddy. Did you have a nice trip?
Jack: It was very stressful. Has anything happen here?
Lisa: That's why I need to speak with you.
Jack: What's the matter sweetheart? Did something happen to Babe?
Lisa: No, Babe is all right. It's about me. When we left Kellerman's I started to write to a guy I met there. He's in town since a couple of days. He's very sweet and nice. He likes me and I like him. He's my boyfriend. You are going to meet him tonight. Mom and I have invited him, Babe and Johnny for dinner. I hope you don't mind.
Jack: Who's this guy. Do I know him?
Lisa: I don't know but you are going to meet him tonight. Then he can tell you about himself.
Jack: Okay, I'll wait. But now I think I go to the school and visit Babe.
Jake left the house and went to the school. Lisa called Babe before he was going to arrive.
Lisa: Babe, Daddy is back and he is coming to the school. Please hide Billy.
Babe: Okay, I will send him to Granny to help her with the garden. Penny and Johnny are having a class. See you tonight.
A few minutes after the call her father arrived. Babe was down at the office doing some paperwork. He knocked on the door and went inside.
Jake: Hi darling. How are you?
Babe: Daddy? You are here? I'm fine! What are you doing here? I thought I would see you tonight.
Jake: I was missing you. I had a lot of time to think in the last week. You should know that it is okay for me that you have this school as long as you happy. And I am very proud of you. You are the best in your classes and you did a great job with this school.
Babe: Thank you, Daddy. But it's not only because of me. Johnny did a good job with it. And Penny. They are great teachers. Our students love them. And now we are hiring a office help so I can concentrate on the college. And help a little bit more with teaching. Besides that we have to practice for the competition next month.
Jake: You will win this, without doubt. See you tonight. Say hello to your dancer.
Jake smiled when he left the school. He went back to his house were he help his wife and his younger daughter to fix the dinner. Babe were telling Johnny about the visit of her father. He couldn't believe it.
Johnny: He came on his free will? I think he had changed. Hopefully he will take the news tonight better than the news that we are going to stay together.
Babe: I think he will. He was never so worried about Lisa like about me. And I think he had accepted you and he will be happy to become a grandfather in a few months. So I hope.
Johnny, Billy and Babe arrived together on the house. Lisa opened the door and kissed Billy.
Lisa: Daddy, this is my boyfriend Billy. Billy this is my dad, Dr. Jake Houseman.
Jake: I know you. You are a porter at Kellerman's?
Billy: Yes, I was the porter. But I going to be a dance instructor in some months.
Jake: Oh no, not again.
Marge: Please Jake, calm down. Billy is a nice guy.
Jake: If you are going to be a dance instructor I think you will work at Babe's school.
Babe: He is the office help I was speaking about before, too.
Lisa: Lets sit down and have dinner. We cooked the whole day.
It was a really nice evening. Jake seemed to like Billy. And he accepted Johnny in his house. Jake helped his wife to clean the table and the kitchen. The two couples were alone at the living room.
Babe: Shall we tell him about it?
Johnny: I don't know. Your father seemed to have a good day. Perhaps we should not ruin it.
Babe: But sometime soon they have to know it. Why not tonight?
Lisa: What's the matter, Babe?
Babe: We have some news we need to tell mom and dad. But we don't know if the right time now.
Lisa: I would try it. It's better to tell them as soon as you knew it.
Johnny: Okay, lets do it.
When Jake and Marge arrived with the coffee Babe began to speak.
Babe: Mom. Dad. I think Johnny and me we had some news that you need to know.
Marge: What's kind of news?
Johnny: We think it some good news.
Babe: This week I went to Dr. Holy because I was sick every morning for about one week. He said that I'm five weeks pregnant.
Jake: What, you are pregnant?
Babe: Yes and we are going to have this baby.
Marge: A baby! How sweet you are getting a baby. Congratulation.
Jake: Marge, please. Babe is only 18, not married and started college. She will have no time for a baby.
Johnny: I think we are going to find a solution.
Jake: Sure there is an easy solution. You are not going to have this baby!
Babe: I am not going to have an apportion. You was against it when Penny did it last year. Why are you now going to force me to have one?
Jake: You are too young to be a mother!
Johnny: No, she isn't. She's going to be a great mother and I will help her.
Marge: I am going to help her, too.
Babe: Thanks Mom. But I think we have enough time to think about the problems that the baby will bring with it.
TBC...
A/N: What do you think so far?
