Prompt: Romana teaches Jackson to dance

Waltzing Through the Years

It was 2 AM and Steph was on her way to the bathroom when she heard something in the living room. So she peeked her head through the door, with a frying pan in her hand for protection.

There she saw Jackson and Romona standing around in their pajamas.

Romana was leading Jackosn through a basic waltz.

Jackson was too stiff and Romona was unsuccessfully trying to get him to relax.

Steph giggled to herself as Romona threw her hands in the air.

"Jackson! Homecoming is tomorrow!"

Jackson grumbled in frustration.

"It's no use."

She then placed his hands on her waist and wrapped hers around his neck.

"Let's try this instead."

They swayed from side to side.

"See, it's not so hard."

Steph couldn't help but wished she had her camera to take pictures so she settled for the nearest cell phone (DJs) and snapped a picture.

Then she went back to bed.

DJ watched as her son bowed to Romona. Romona's' quince was a huge family and friends affair and she was a bit surprised when the girl asked Jackson to be her escort. But seeing them dance, she could see how close they were. The bond that wasn't there when they were younger and grown into such a close friendship, someone could say they were best friends. She watched as Jackson led Romona through the waltz that they had been learning for months.

In her pink princess dress and Jackson in his matching tie, they made quite a pair. Romona was whispering the steps and Jacksoconcentringntaign on not embarrassing her.

DJ smiled as she watched her son and the girl she had come to see as her duaghte waltz. She hoped that this is what the future would look like.

Then Jackson picked up Romona who couldn't help but giggle. He put her down and twirled out and in smoothly and they locked eyes, huge smiles on their faces. He kissed her hand.

"My Princess."

"Action Jackson."

"That wasn't so bad, was it?"

Jackosn took her hand as he escorted her back to her chair.

Steph and Jimmy tied the knot when they were 16 after three years after their daughter was born. Romona and Jackson were both part of the bridal party and were partners. They spent the night talking an laughing and Romona successfully managed to get Jackson to dance with her. When a waltz came on and they all watched Steph and Jimmy dance and she rested her head on Jackson's shoulders. They stayed like that until the next waltz came on and they crossed the dance floor, keeping up with the other adults who could all waltz. Max scrunched his nose when he saw his brother and Romona dance.

Rose sat next to him, holding his hand.

"Are they going to get married soon?"

"One day."

He watched as his brother dipped her and as roman laughed, her light blue dress spinning around her, as she twirled.

One day he was sure, they were going to be doing this as their own wedding.

"Shall we join them?"

He got up and held out a hand to his darling Rose, who smiled and accepted his hand. The two then set to copy the older couple's moves.

When Romona had caught her boyfriend cheating on her, she was devasting. Prom was less than two weeks away and no she had no date, no best girl-friend, and no limo.

Luckily, Jackson was more than willing to take her instead. She felt guilty especially when she knew that he really wanted to ask Shelby Williams. She told him not to worry but he forced her to look up into his eyes and he reassured her that he wanted nothing more than to take his best friend to prom.

So he brought a purple tie to match her purple dress and they took all the cliche prom pictures and DJ drove them to Rocky's house where the limo picked up Rocky and her girlfriend Eli and them. The group of four had a good time in the limo and at prom. Jackson danced with all three girls and it as a sight to see Jackson and Romona on the dance floor.

Her ex-boyfriend was seething when he saw them waltzing.

Rocky had snapped a few pictures and videos of them dancing and sent them to DJ, she also posted them to social media because they were too cute not to post.

Alex and Nicky were finally settling down after years of dating. They were 30 years old and ready to commit. Of course, the twins were having a double wedding. Romona stuck close to Jackson's side the entire time. In her red dress, she made heads turn and Jackson had a hard time making sure no one harassed her. When someone did try to make a move he nearly decked him. Rocky getting to him first was the only thing that kept him from doing so.

When Romona ended up catching the bouquet, she dragged him out to dance not wanting to dance with the 21-year old who was winking at her like crazy.

In her red dress and him in a black suit, they waltzed around the ballroom, with the ease of two people who had been together for years.

After college came a series of weddings. One of the first to tie the knot was Romona's old college roommate Maya.

Maya and Lucas had a Texas wedding and Maya had begged her and Rocky to be her bridesmaids. Her best friend Riley was her maid of honor. Her other friend Smackle was also a bridesmaid. As all of her bridesmaids has significant others, she paired Romona up with Riley's Uncle Josh.

However, Jackson was her plus one to the wedding.

Jackosn watched envious as Josh and Romona twirled around the dance floor.

He was relieved when the older man let go of Romona to pull a pregnant woman up to dance. Jackson watched as Josh kissed her and dhe felt ridiculous for even feeling jealous.

Romana then pulled him up to dance.

Maya and Lucas swayed to the beat when Romana and Jakcosn caught her eye. Lucas saw that his wife was distracted and followed her gaze.

"Think they will be next?"

She laughed her head no.

"Smackle plans to propose to Zay soon."

"Really? Sounds like something she would do."

"Who do you think helped make this possible? If it weren't for her calm head I would be out a maid of honor, and you would have had to bail me out of county jail."

Lucas laughed and gave her a long kiss.

"I love you, Mrs. Maya Penelope Hart Friar."

"And I love you, Ranger Rick."

He rested his head against his wife.

Later on, when Maya threw bouquet Romona was the one to catch it. She stood there stunned, the flowers in her hands as everyone cheered around her.

The bouquet stayed on her table until it all dried up and Jackson ended up throwing it away, months later.

Rocky and her boyfriend Flynn got married three years after Lucas and Maya. In between that wedding that this wedding, Romona and Jackson had been to at least six other weddings.

Neither ever bother with dates to the weddings, they instead choose to go with each other.

Everyone would tease them about their relationship but the would smile and remind everyone they were just best friends. Not many people believed them, not even the couple in question but years of friendship had made them scared to take the next step and mess everything up.

As best friends with Rocky, Romona had a spot as her maid of honor.

Jackson was made a groomsman, but not best man.

That didn't bother the two because they simply switched seats during the reception.

When Romona caught the flowers again this time, she bowed. It had been a running joke every time she caught the bouquet. This time when Jackson caught the garter he tossed it back to Rocky and then pulled Romona in for a dance.

"You know you are the only person I ever actually waltz with, outside my family."

"What about Rocky and the other girls?"

"Technically they are family."

"Am I not family?"

Jackson looked right into Roamoans' eyes.

"Hell no. otherwise.."

Romona didn't let Jackson finish before she got on tiptoes and kissed him. His hands tightened around her hips and he pulled her closer and kissed her back.

Steph swayed in her seat, a smile on her face. Two hands dropped down on her shoulders and a kiss was pressed into her hair.

"Hello, gorgeous."

"Hey, handsome."

Her eyes didn't leave the dance floor and her husband followed her gaze to the dancing couple.

"Did you ever think?"

Steph smiled as she thought back to a pair of 14-year-olds dancing in the living room.

Instead of pajamas and nervousness, the couple were in a white dress and a black suit and they were madly in love.

"Yes. I thought so."

DJ and Kimmy who were both crying, smiled at Stpehs's statement.

"She-Wolf Pack is all married off."

DJ nodded and pointed to where Rocky's little girl, Steph's daughter, and Nick and Alex's daughters were.

"Now for the next group."

Romona and Jackson swayed as all eyes were on them.

Her white princess gown was a blast to her past at her quince, when her heart skipped a beat when she danced with Jackson all those years ago. Jackson cupped his wife's cheek.

"I love you Romona Gibbler.

"Fuller. It's Romona Fuller now."

He laughed, "Romona Fuller."

He kissed her.

Hey ya'll!

I'm back. October is almost over which means my schedule is clearing up a bit! So I'll be writing a bit more and updating this.

I think once I reach 20 chapters on this, I will mark it as complete and then just keep adding as I go.

(My goal is to eventually have all my works here completed, even my stories from when I first started out. And for them all to be edited to perfection)

Let me know what you think!

Love you Wallflowers!
