I do not own Dirty Dancing.
The exam period is over, the students are waiting for their results and Baby still hasn't told her parents about the pregnancy, she didn't dare to and she knows she needs to. This evening is parents evening, teachers discussing the results with the parents, that means that not only Baby's parents, but also Johnny's father will be there. She wonders how that will go. Marge had let Baby know that they will be arriving around eight, so Johnny made his room look like he has been sharing it with Billy and so did Baby and Penny, it's really upsetting her that she's doing this because of her father. Baby and Penny are walking in front of the two guys, Billy looks at his cousin. "You never put through with that prank you told me at the beginning of the schoolyear." Billy says, Johnny looks at him with a little smile. "It's time to be mature Billy, it's better when Baby's father sees I'm serious." He says. "You've changed so much because of him, what did he do to you?" Johnny didn't answer that question, he thought about the day he went to Baby for picking her up during spring break. Jake had invited him inside, Johnny thought it was a good sign, thinking Jake has started to accept him. Inside Jake's office, Johnny sat down and Jake watched at him. "Tell me one good reason why I shouldn't hate you?" Jake had asked after a moment of silent, they had a conversation about Baby and her future and his future, Jake had let him know not to believe in Johnny's plans and that did hurt Johnny. "Because I'm not pretending to be someone else and I really do love your daughter sir." Johnny had said, Jake had snorted at that. "I first disliked and mistrusted you boy, then my wife starts to talk into me and I thought I might give you a chance but then I see how my wife is changing and it makes me furious, you may know that I hate you and that I will do anything to make my daughter see that you're not good enough for her." He had said, Johnny already saw he was drunk, Johnny had swallowed on that moment, it made him even more afraid of losing Baby now, it was getting more irrational now. "No one will ever love your daughter the way I do, sir." Johnny had said when Jake stood up and walked closer to him. Jake leans towards him, making Johnny leaning back, he could smell the alcohol. "We will see about that boy, now go out of my sight and you'll promise me that you will never tell Baby about this conversation." Jake had grabbed Johnny's shirt. Johnny became really scared now and swallowed once. "I promise, sir." Johnny had said. Jake had walked to the window, Johnny didn't know how fast he needed to go away from Jake at that moment and quickly left the room. Knowing Jake is coming to college for parents evening, is scaring the hell out of Johnny, he really doesn't dare to face him but he really doesn't want to leave Baby's side either. His father has arrived a little earlier, he had taken pizzas with him for the kids, they smile as they eat and talk. Lory walks inside the house as well and sees them, she smiles and walks to them, some boys whistle at her. "Leave it!" Billy says in a warning tone while he points at them. Lory chuckles and gives her son a kiss on his cheek, Johnny looks at Baby who's eating with a smile. "Should we tell dad and aunt?" He asks and she looks at him now, she takes a deep breath and looks at Luke and Lory, knowing they can keep a secret. "We should, but they should keep it to themselves for now." Baby says, Luke looks at them and became curious. "What's going on kids?" He asks and they look at him, Johnny starts to smile widely now. "What?" Luke asks and now Lory looks at them as well. "We're expecting." Johnny says, Luke stands up and looks with a very serious face at them now. Lory takes his arm and gives him a nod to sit down again. "Is this what you really want?" Lory asks, they look at her. "We're very sure and very serious about this." Johnny answers, Lory smiles now and looks at Luke. "This is not because of your irrationally thinking, right? Son?" Luke asks still being very serious, Johnny looks down. "At first it was, but after a while it became a dream, I really want this dad." Luke gives a sigh, he looks at Baby. "And you Baby?" Luke asks. "I've always wanted kids, I know we're still at school and also young" Baby says "maybe too young in your eyes" she adds, he starts to smile now "but we're both serious about this, I do want this." Baby says. "Alright" he stands up to hug them both now, Lory hugs them too "we will help where we can." Luke says. "Thanks dad, that means so much." Johnny says. "Do your parents know Baby?" Lory asks now, Baby looks at her and shakes her head. "I haven't found the right moment" Baby says "and I would like to tell them myself, please." Baby says in a begging tone. "We will not say a word." Lory hugs Baby again, so did Luke. They smile at each other when Baby's parents walk inside. Johnny stands up quickly, Luke observes the reaction and sees the fear, he takes a deep breath and lays his hand on Johnny's shoulder. "Let's go son, maybe I can have a word with the dean." Johnny gives him a nod, he looks at Baby and wants to kiss her. "See ya later." She whispers and gives him a small kiss. "See ya." He whispers and walks with his father to the door. "Evening Marge" Luke says, she smiles at him and he smiles at her "Jake." Luke gives Jake a short glance. "Let's go kids." Lory says, she's also there for Penny's results, she sort of adopted Penny so she could arranged everything for her and her study. They say goodbye to Baby and walk away, Lory shortly hugs Marge before she walks outside. Baby sits down again and looks at her lap. "What are you doing here Baby? Isn't this Pi Kappa Alpha?" Jake asks in a stern tone, Baby looks at him. "I was invited for dinner." Baby says, Jake looks at the pizza boxes. "Pizza? You're eating junk?" He asks. "Sometimes." Baby's planning not to let him boss her over. "Let's go, I want a tour at the school." Marge says with a smile, she hugs her daughter protectively and Baby smiles at her mother. "Why do you want a tour Marge? You came here to study as well." Jake says. "That was a very long time ago Jake, I wanna see how much has changed." Marge takes Baby with her to the door, making Jake follow them. Some guys look at them and then at each other.
They walk through the school building, Johnny's worried about Baby now, Luke looks at his son. "You're afraid of Jake, aren't you?" Luke asks, Johnny gives a deep sigh. "What did he tell you?" Luke asks. "He hates me and he will do anything to keep me away from Baby." Johnny silently says, not looking at his father. "So, he's turning into his father-in-law after all." Johnny looks at him now. "I hope you didn't got Baby pregnant because of this son, I don't want you to regret anything." He looks at Johnny. "I don't want to lose her dad, I can't live without her." He says. "Pregnancy is not a solution son." Luke says as he looks around him now. "I know dad." Johnny says. "Nevertheless, I'm happy for you and Baby and you both seem to really want this. I will support you son, and Baby too, I still have your old baby stuff." Johnny smiles at him. "She wants a son." Luke smiles at his son now and lays his hand on Johnny's shoulder. They walk on. Baby walks with her parents through the hallways. Lisa has graduated and has left last week for a two weeks holiday with her friends, a present from her father, when she comes back she will marry the guy her father has arranged for her. As the time went by, they talk to each teacher about the results, Baby has done really good, her results are way above average and that pleases Jake. They sit in the canteen, drinking something. "I've arranged you Baby." Jake smiles, Marge slowly sits straighter and Baby jumps up. "What?!" Baby asks, quite loudly because people start to look at her now. "Jake, what are you doing?" Marge asks, Jake doesn't look at her, he keeps looking at Baby. "You can't do this to me dad." Baby starts to cry now. "Sit down Baby." He says and she refuses. "Sit down." His voice stern, she did but didn't stop crying, Marge takes her in her arms. "Why are you doing this Jake? Is it because of Johnny?" Marge asks, she's angry, very angry but tries not to show it too much. Their marriage is broken and that was Jake's own fault, she has been perfectly honest with him the whole time, but now this, he has been planning this behind her back and without Baby's knowledge. She didn't and couldn't stay with him any longer. "Because I think she needs someone who truly knows what's good for her" Jake says "tomorrow is the wedding, you're going home with us this evening" he explains "no, I'm staying here with Johnny" Baby refuses "you're going home with us, I'll talk to him, he'll understand." Marge made little eyes at Jake now. "You've turned into my father" she says and he looks at her "and I never wanted to marry someone who's like him." Marge says. "It will be better for her Marge, you'll see." Jake is not taking her serious. "Where's the wedding?" Marge asks as Jake stands up now. "At home, in the garden." Jake answers. "And who's the guy?" Marge asks now. "You'll see tomorrow." Jake walks away. Baby looks at her mother and cries even harder. "I don't want this mom, it's not fair." Baby says. "I know it isn't, but there's not much I can do now." Marge says while thinking for a bit. "We need to tell Johnny." Baby looks around but she didn't see him anywhere. "I miss him." She says. "You'll see him soon again Baby." Marge says. "I need to tell you something, please don't tell dad." Baby says. "I will not, I don't trust your father anymore." Marge says, it made Baby cry again. "It's my fault that your marriage is ruined." Baby says. "It's not your fault Baby, your father is ruining it himself and I'm tired of taking his shit the whole time, I just want to be happy and want you to be happy. Heck, even Lisa, so please stop thinking it's your fault." Marge says in a serious tone. "I'm pregnant mom." Baby looks down now. "Johnny knows?" Marge asks. "Yeah, we want to keep it." Baby says. "You two have been planning this, right?" Baby only nods. "Oh Baby" Marge hugs her daughter "Johnny's doing everything not to lose you, he's scared off your father." Marge says, Baby let her go and looks at her face now. "What do you mean?" Baby asks. "I've overheard the conversation they had during spring break, your dad was very drunk but he threatened Johnny and he told Johnny that he would do anything to keep him away from you" Marge says and that makes Baby very worried about Johnny "I think that Johnny's doing everything he has in his power not to lose you, that includes getting you pregnant" Baby looks down again "are you really sure you want this Baby?" Marge asks, making Baby look up again, it was silent for a moment "I'm very sure mom, I don't want anyone else, I only want him and having a family with him, sharing my life with him. It's all I've ever dreamed of." Baby says and some tears fall down, Marge takes a tissue and dries her tears, she smiles. "That's all I want to hear Baby, come." She says. "Let's look for Johnny and warn him." Marge says. "Wait, I can call him too." Baby takes her phone.
Unfortunately for them, Jake has found Johnny and Luke before they even walked away. "Can I talk to you in private?" Jake looks at Johnny, Luke looks at Jake, making small eyes. "Go son, be strong, remember what I've told you." Luke walks away, Johnny didn't want his father to walk away. "Let's go inside there." Jake opens a door, it's an empty classroom and they went inside. "I want you to break up with Baby." Jake says. "No, that's not going to happen." Johnny says, he was afraid of this conversation. "You're going to break up with her today, tell her that you lost your interest" Jake says in a threatening tone, Johnny swallows and becomes scared shitless now when he sees Jake's eyes "because if you don't" Jake points at his chest "I will find you and I will break you." Jake did a step closer to Johnny, who backed off. "Why are you doing this?" Johnny asks, it takes all his strength to even dare to say something to Jake. "Because Baby is going to marry a much better man tomorrow and you're going to stay away from her from now on." Johnny feels his legs turning weak and he grabs a desk. "How long is this going on?" Johnny asks. "Since a long time now." Jake lies about that, Johnny feels betrayed now, Baby has been lying to him? He couldn't imagine that, but if Jake's says it, then it must be true, right? He was telling that to himself. Johnny's phone went off and he takes it out of his pocket. Jake sees Baby's name on the screen. "Answer it and break up with her, I will take her home with me this evening, so you will not see her anymore, she's going to a private school from next schoolyear on." Jake folds his arms, he smiles as he knows he has Johnny there where he wants him to be. Johnny thought about telling Jake about her being pregnant, but then he got scared that if he do that Jake will make sure she gets an abortion and he doesn't want to lose the baby either. At least Baby will always have a piece of him with her. Johnny looks at his phone, seeing her picture while seeing her number on his screen, he starts to cry but answers the call. "Hey." Johnny turns around. "Sweetie, where are you?" Baby asks. "I can't tell you Baby" Johnny says "why not?" Baby stops in her track and Marge looks at her "because it's better if you don't know" he takes a deep breath "I'm breaking up with you." He ends the call, he couldn't go on and hear her voice. "Good boy, now go home and try not to look for her." Johnny didn't turn around, he walks away leaving Jake in the room. Luke sees Johnny coming, he sees his face. "Son" Luke says "leave it dad" Johnny walks to the doors "he made you break up with Baby, didn't he?" Luke asks, Johnny only cries as he walks outside "what's the excuse Johnny?" Luke asks in a stern way, making Johnny stop in his track now. "She's going to marry tomorrow, seems she's already engaged for a long time." Johnny looks at his father now. "And do you believe that shit?" Johnny looks down. "It's done already, I broke up with her, I'm going now dad, I want to be alone." Johnny walks away, Luke looks after his son and he's very angry. It's exactly the same as it was with him, but this time his son is getting what he loves. Luke turns around and sees Jake coming outside, who's looking for Baby and Marge. "You arrogant asshole!" Luke shouts and storms towards Jake, who looks at Luke coming. "Showing your true colors finally Luke?" Jake asks with an air. "What did you do to my son?" Luke grabs his shirt, Jake holds his head a bit back. "You're not going to punch me here, are you Luke? With all the kids around us." Jake says, Luke looks around and sees people staring at them, he lets Jake go who straightens his shirt. "Your son will be fine, now if you excuse me I need to find my wife and my daughter." Jake says with a fake smile. "You don't deserve Marge, you never did." Luke says as Jake has walk passed him, he keeps standing with his back to Jake, really trying hard not to punch him in the face. "And what could you have given her?" Jake asks. "Everything that you are not, everything that she ever dreamed of" Luke turns around "and you know that, and now you're trying to get to me through my son, because you can't stand the fact that I've got everything your wife ever dreamed of." Luke looks at Jake with daring eyes, it made Jake very angry and Luke sees his reaction, he smiles as he's ready to fight back. Marge and Baby walk outside and see the two men. "What's going on here?" Marge asks in a very angry tone. Baby's crying her heart out, Marge is really pissed off now. "Where's Johnny?" She looks at Luke. "I don't know, he went to his car and drove away." Luke looks from Marge to Baby, his heart sinks miles deep now. Baby looks at him and wants to go to Luke, Jake held her back. "We're going home, you have a big day tomorrow." Jake lays his arm around her and grabs her tightly so she couldn't get away, she cries even harder. "I can't believe that you are doing this to your daughter Jake." Jake only gives him a smile. "She will have a better life from tomorrow on." He walks away with Baby, not letting even Marge try to stop him. Luke looks at Marge now, she looks from Baby and Jake to Luke and gives a very frustrated and angry sigh. "Hey, hey." Luke steps closer to her, she looks at his face. "I hate him Luke." She says. "Don't say that, he's your husband." Luke says. "I just did, it's not working anymore. I don't love him anymore. Since a while now and this behavior of his" Marge pauses a little "he's turning into my father, I don't want to be with someone like that." Marge looks in his eyes now, he swallows. "I wish I could save you Marge." He whispers. "You can, by helping me with stopping this hideous wedding Jake has arranged for Baby." Marge says. "How long has he been planning that?" Luke asks. "I don't know, Baby and I just heard about it an hour ago or so." Marge says. "The lying asshole!" Luke says frustrated. "What?" Marge asks. "He told Johnny that Baby's engaged for a long time, making it look like Baby betrayed him, he feels betrayed and he's heartbroken." Luke is very angry now. "They belong together, Baby and Johnny, I knew from the first moment I saw him. We need to stop this Luke." Marge says. "Where's the wedding going to be?" Luke asks. "In our garden." Marge answers. "Okay, I will come with Johnny to the house. I'm going to stop this with him and save you as well." Luke promises Marge, she smiles and lays her hand on his cheek. "You're still my knight in shining armor Luke." She walks away. Luke looks after her and tries to smile a little. "Having a secret date brother?" Lory walks to him with Penny and Billy. "No, I'm going to stop a wedding tomorrow with Johnny." Luke walks to his car. Lory quickly follows him. "What wedding?" She asks, Billy and Penny are listening about what's going on. "Baby's." Luke says. "What?" Penny asks. Luke stops and looks at her for a second, he looks back at Lory. "Let me say it like this" he says "history is repeating itself." Luke says and Lory holds her hands over her mouth, gasping a bit. "Oh no, no, where's Johnny? And Baby?" Penny asks, she's afraid. "Johnny drove off and Jake has taken Baby home with him. Jake has forced Johnny to break up with Baby." Luke gives a deep sigh. "Oh no." Penny starts to cry, Billy takes her in his arms, he looks very angry. "We need to do something uncle." Billy says. "Marge and I are going to stop the wedding and I'm taking Johnny with me, if I can find him that is." Luke says. "You two make sure that Johnny's bedroom is ready for both of them, Baby will be staying with us" Luke says and they nod "I will make sure she's not going to have to go home to that brute anymore." Luke walks on again. "What about Marge?" Lory asks, he looks at her and smiles a little. "She told me that I'm still her knight in shining armor." He says, she only gives him a little smile. "I know where Johnny can be." Billy says, Luke looks at him. "Bring me there." Luke says and Billy nods.
Johnny had bought a couple of bottles of whiskey and a six pack of beer, he drives to his spot and starts drinking. He didn't care about his life anymore, didn't want to feel anything and he hopes that the alcohol will let him die. He empties a bottle and takes another one, stepping out of the car. He looks at the sky, this spot gives him so many memories, it's here where he took her virginity. The best date he ever had, now it's gone, it's nothing but memories now, painful memories. He looks at the car and starts to hate it, because he knows it's from Jake's money, he sees the plate and bursts out. Everything he ever dreamed of is gone, has disappeared. He can't believe that she has been engaged the whole time, he drinks on the second bottle. It's a strong whiskey and he became drunk quicker than he thought. Only, it didn't take his misery away, it made it worse. He growls frustrated. "Why me?!" Johnny asks and threw the bottle away, he growls again and kicks against the tire of the car. Billy drives quickly to the spot with Luke. Penny and Lory would stay at the fraternity house, waiting for them. Billy turns and sees Johnny's car and Johnny kicking against the tire again and again. Luke jumps out of the car when Billy even hadn't stopped the car. "Son, stop it." Johnny didn't react, Luke grabs his arm. Johnny pulls it back and turns his back to his father. "Son." Luke grabs Johnny's arm again, he pulls Johnny close and grabs him in a tight hug where Johnny starts to cry again. "I can't live without her, I want to die dad." Billy has stepped out and walks to them. Johnny has his eyes closed as he grabs his father tightly. Billy look around and sees the bottles. "Have you been drinking?" He asks. "So what? What does it matter? Nothing matters anymore." Luke let him go, Johnny sits down on the ground, grabbing the bottle he threw on the ground earlier. "Don't say that." Luke says, taking the bottle from his son. "I do" Johnny says "what must I do dad? She's pregnant, from me, what if Jake discovers that? All I can think of is killing myself" he says "stop saying that" Luke says in a more stern tone now, Johnny looks up at him "we're going to stop that wedding" Luke says "we can't, Jake will break me if I even try" Johnny looks at the ground again "not if we break him first." Luke kneels in front of Johnny, who looks at him again. "I don't understand." Johnny says. "You're drunk, you need sleep and be ready for tomorrow." Luke helps Johnny to stand up. "I want to know dad, I might be drunk but I still want to know." Johnny says. "Marge is going to help us, we're going to save Baby from that wedding and we're going to take her home" Luke says and Johnny snorts a little "and how do you want to break Jake in the process?" Johnny asks "by taking Marge with us, I'm going to save her from that marriage son." Luke tries to smile, Johnny looks at his father, then at Billy who's only standing there watching him, he looks back at his father. "I thought you didn't want to ruin her marriage." Johnny says. "It's already ruined, by Jake himself, and now I'm going to take her out of it." Luke says. "You're twenty-two years late dad" Johnny says but smiles, Luke smiles at him now as well "but better late than never, right?" He hugs his dad again. "You think it will work?" He asks. "I'm sure it will." Luke says. "I miss Baby so much." He's feeling a bit sleepy now, he's relaxing so the alcohol hits him fully and he always gets sleepy when he has been drinking too much. "I know you do son, let's go home." Luke walks with Johnny to Billy. "Take Johnny's car home, I'll take yours to bring him home. Pick up Pen, I'll see you at home." Luke says. "Okay uncle. See you at home." Billy opens the door of Johnny's car, he smells the alcohol and he takes all the bottles and throws them out.
Baby has been locked in her room by her father so she couldn't run away. She's scared, and she hits the door. "Let me out! I don't want to marry someone I don't love!" Baby shouts. "Spare your strength Baby, go to sleep." Jake says. "No! You can't force me! This is kidnapping dad, you can't do this to me" Baby says "or to Johnny, whatever you told him so that he would break up with me, you're a monster!" Baby shouts, Jake has walked away already and Baby hits the door again. She cries again and sits down on the floor against the door, she lays her hand on her chest and feels the medallion. She holds it up and opens it, she looks at the pictures and cries even more. She didn't want to live without him, he's everything to her and now she's carrying his child as well. She takes her phone and looks at the pictures with her watery eyes, she writes a message to him, saying that she loves him and she wants to be with him, that her father has locked her up in her room and pushes her to marry someone she doesn't want to marry, if there's a person she wants to marry than it's him. Johnny lays on his bed, Penny and Luke are looking at him being asleep. "You really think it's gonna be alright?" Penny asks silently. "I don't know Pen, I really hope so." Luke says with a deep sigh. He thought about Marge and that she hopefully will leave with him but Johnny's his biggest concern, Johnny had so many bad experiences in his life already and he had never seen his son reacting to something as heavy as he has done this evening. "I'm going to bed." Luke looks at Penny, she smiles a little at him and he walks away. Billy came to her and looks at his cousin. "It makes me so angry Billy." Penny whispers, he takes her in his arms. "Me too Pen." He whispers. "Let's go to bed." He whispers and closes the door. Marge looks around and she doesn't see Jake anywhere, she quickly walks upstairs and shoves a piece of paper under Baby's door. She went to the guest bedroom because she couldn't be around Jake any longer. She wonders what the real reason is that he has turned like this, she always believed he was different. They had talks about their daughters so many times in the past and he always agreed with her of letting them choose their own life. She takes a very deep breath and looks at her bracelet, she has been starting to put it on again, she smiles as she thought of that memory, Jake never asked her about it. She got it from Luke on their first anniversary, one year, and she remembers how she found that the time went by so fast. It's a thin silver chain bracelet with a few hearts hanging on it, on one of them is his name engraved, it lays on her finger and she smiles. She thought about Christmas Day, how Johnny gave Baby the medallion and she gave him the bracelet. The first presents always seem so important, this one reminds her of how Luke told her he never wanted to leave her side. Just like Johnny told Baby, she's still amazed in how much he looks like Luke. She can't sleep, but she went to lay down nevertheless. Baby's still staring at the pictures of Johnny on her phone while crying, she knows that Johnny must be so miserable and it breaks her heart into a million little pieces. She lays her hands on her lap and sniffs once, she dries her tears and then sees the piece of paper. She picks it up and opens it. 'Baby, please stay strong, we'll be stopping this wedding tomorrow. But for now, please play along with your dad, don't let him suspect anything. Mom' She's curious of who her mother means with we, she takes a deep breath and stands up. Maybe trying to get some sleep would be good for her.
