I do not own Dirty Dancing.
Days went by, Baby hadn't told Johnny about her conversation with her mother, she guess it's something that her mother must do herself. Marge has arranged the divorce papers with her lawyer and her accountant. It's waiting now for the papers to be ready and then she needs to go to Jake to get them signed. She had her first date with Luke, it was amazing and they indeed got everything on the house after Julio has told Luke that he looks familiar. So when Luke told him who his son is, Julio, of course, became excited and gave them a very nice table. Their relationship is starting to bloom and they both feel like they're in college again, Baby is very happy to see them both like this and it amazes Johnny so much to see his father being transformed into the man he always used to be. Johnny and Luke are making plans with the baby room now, Marge and Baby are in the small garden, enjoying the sun. Billy and Penny walk inside and look around. "I'm going to look in the garden." Penny walks to the back door, she opens the door and smiles when she sees Baby and Marge laying on the grass. "You both are enjoying yourselves?" Penny asks, Baby opens her eyes and looks at Penny. "Come join us Pen, the sun is really nice." Penny sits down on the grass, Marge opens her eyes as well. "Where's Lory?" Marge asks. "She will come soon, she needs to do something first." Penny answers. "Great, I want to offer everyone something but I need everyone to be here first." Marge says. "Don't do that mom." Baby says. "Do what?" Marge asks. "Making Penny so curious, she won't stop bothering you until she knows" Penny giggles "and you made her very curious now." Baby adds and Penny nods, Marge chuckles a bit and smiles at Penny now. "What is it about Marge?" Penny asks, Marge chuckles a bit and closes her eyes again. "Please." Penny says in a begging tone, Marge shakes her head. "How can you even handle her Baby?" Marge asks in a teasing tone, Penny lays down next to Marge and hugs her, Marge laughs now. "I told you." Baby is laughing as well. Lory came outside and Marge looks at her. "Thank god you are here." Marge says and it made Baby laugh even more. "What did you do?" Lory asks as she chuckles about Penny hugging Marge. "I seem to have made her curious." Lory chuckles again. "Yeah, you never should do that." Lory says and Penny giggles now. "Let this be a lesson." And the four of them are laughing now. Johnny looks around in the little room, they have been taking everything out of it and a lot of stuff is in the attic and a lot is thrown away. "What do you think son?" Luke asks as he has his hands on his hips. "It needs a total do-over dad." Johnny smiles. "I can see you're thinking about how to decorate it." Luke says. "I'm thinking of putting a dressing table here, you know for changing the diaper and so." Johnny points at the wall, Billy walks inside the room. "I see you two have been really busy." Billy smiles, they hug. "Yeah, I was just telling dad that I'm thinking of putting the dressing table here." Johnny points at the wall again, Billy nods. "We can make one, making it a little longer than normal size with closets beneath it for the clothes and other baby things." Luke says as he's thinking with his son, Johnny smiles, he's really enjoying this. "Sounds great dad" he then walks to the corner "this is a sort of dead corner here" Luke looks at it and thinks "we can make shelves there, so it will be useful" Luke suggested "that's a good idea dad, shelves in the same color and material as the top of the dressing table." Johnny says and Luke nods, Billy is trying to imagine it. "I can draw something for you cuz." Johnny looks at Billy and smiles. "That would be great cuz." Johnny says, Luke smiles. "And at this wall will the crib be then." Luke says. "Yeah, this is the wall between this and my room." Johnny smiles happily. "A wooden floor, maybe one that matches the dressing table and the shelves?" Billy asks, they look at him, Billy is imagining it now. "Yeah, a soft oak." Johnny says. "What about the color? Or wallpaper?" Billy asks. "Let's keep it at white for now, I leave that up to Baby to decide." Johnny says and they smile. "Let's go, we deserve a beer now." Luke walks downstairs. "I'm so happy for your support cuz." Johnny says, Billy looks at him and smiles. "I wouldn't have wished for another life for you cuz, you are so happy with Baby and you look so happy and eager to become a father, who am I to try to get that out of your mind? Besides" Billy says and they walk to the stairs, Johnny looks at him again "I would love to be an uncle." Johnny grins, he pats Billy on his back and they went down to the kitchen. The four women sit at the table now. Luke has joined them. "We need a bigger table." Billy says and they chuckle. "Can be arranged." Marge says with a smile, Luke shakes his head a bit and chuckles. "Tell us Marge" Penny says "please." she quickly adds and Marge chuckles about it. "How do you handle this Billy?" Marge asks, they all laugh now. "Don't make her curious, that's all." Billy chuckles when Johnny gives him a beer. "Or just tell us." Penny says. "Tell us what?" Johnny asks now curious as well. Luke smiles at her, they have been talking about that last night again. "I want to take you all on a holiday, for as long as you want, I think after such a long time and so much that has happened" Marge says and they gasp, except Luke and Baby because they know about it already "we all deserve a nice holiday at the beach." She ends her sentence and looks at everyone. "Where to?" Penny asks. "I was thinking of Miami or Hawaii, but if you have another idea." Marge says. "Hawaii? That must be expensive Marge." Billy says now. "Where are we staying then?" Johnny asks carefully. "We can rent a house, one that fits us all." Marge answers and looks at Johnny with a smile. "Can it be one with a pool? And close to the beach?" Penny asks with a grin. "Sure, whatever you want kids." Marge chuckles a bit about Penny's face. Baby looks at Johnny, who's thinking about it, he would love to have a holiday but he needs to work too, he needs to save money. "Don't you think you work too much sweetie?" Baby silently asks and he looks at her now. "I need to Baby, we're expecting, the baby room needs a total do-over, I want to save for our future. It all costs money." Baby stands up and walks to him, he looks in her eyes. "You need a holiday, you need to relax, I see how you are stressing yourself and it's not good." Baby lays her hands on his cheeks, he gives a little sigh. "How much will it cost us?" Johnny asks as he looks at Marge again. "Nothing, I will pay for everything. You all don't need to worry about it, you can even go out every day on my cost if you want." Marge says. "But then you will get broke." Billy says stupefied, Marge chuckles and looks at him now. She looks at Luke and then at Lory, they give her a nod. Marge looks at Baby, to see if Baby would mind. "Go ahead mom." Baby says. "What's the matter?" Johnny asks. "You might want to sit down." Baby says, at first Johnny didn't, he looks at his father who only smiles. He sits down and Baby lays her arms around him from behind. Johnny waits for Marge to start talking, she sips on her glass for a bit and clear her throat. "Johnny" she starts "I know how much you hate rich people" Johnny is curious now "what do you want to tell me?" he asks "how do you see me?" she smiles "as being Baby's mother and dad's girlfriend and normal now you're gone from that big house" Johnny thought a bit about this answer, he does sees Marge as normal, just like he sees Baby as normal "I'm very happy to be gone from that monstrous house and I do hope you will keep seeing me as normal after I tell you this" she gives him a little smile "tell me what?" not only Johnny is curious now, also Billy and Penny are "I'm wealthy" Johnny is confused "but I thought it was Jake's" he didn't finish his sentence and thinks again, Penny is gasping and Billy is equally confused "the car is from your money?" Johnny asks now, it was one of the first things that came up in his mind, Marge nods and gives him a little smile "yes, everything that is ever bought by Jake has been done with my money" Marge says to clear that up "so, Jake married you because of the wealth?" Johnny asks while sipping his beer "that's the best conclusion I've ever heard, but yes" Marge says "basically" she takes a deep breath "Jake works hard and he's the best cardiology surgeon there is in this country but the money he earns" they wait for Marge to go on "goes to his funds, he's saving it for himself" she explains "so basically" Johnny is linking things now "he's working so much not to be around you too much but when he buys things it's from your money? Your father" Johnny says "must have been really desperate with arranging your marriage" Marge gives a deep sigh "that's what I've always been wondering about Johnny" Marge sees he's taking it quite well actually, Baby smiles and gives him a kiss "how much wealth are we actually talking about?" Johnny asks now, a question that's in Penny's and Billy's mind as well "it's my family wealth I've inherited, I still see it as a curse, I want to have a normal life. Just like Baby" Johnny nods at her with a smile, she smiles back now "you know the Gibson guitar brand?" she asks after some moments now "yeah, everyone knows that guitar brand, it's one of the best guitars out there" Johnny answers "son" Johnny looks at his father now "Marge's maiden name is Gibson" Johnny jumps up now, be it more from surprise than from disgust "Johnny" Baby whispers, he looks at her and he sits down again, Marge gives a deep sigh "you probably will look at me as if I'm a stuck up snob now, I understand that" Marge says without a smile, Johnny looks at her and thinks again "you really don't like to have this wealth do you?" he asks "no, I really hated it when I inherited everything when my father died" Marge answers "but I've came to learn how to deal with it, it's not something I'm proud of but at least I can let everyone live in a little bit more comfort, that is" she looks at them all "if you want that, then I mean not having to get a loan or rent a place, buying a good car, having not to worry if there will food on the table or not." Marge lays her hands on the table. It's silent for some moments, Luke walks to Marge and she takes his hands, he smiles at her and leans in to kiss her. Johnny is watching them and thinking. "You've always known about this dad?" Johnny asks now, Luke looks at him and smiles. "Yeah, it was no secret at all. Marge's father always paraded around when he came to the school, when that was needed of course. And" Luke pauses a little and looks at Marge again, she gives him a nod "Marge got bullied because of that, I had to protect her." Penny giggles a bit. "This is something big to take in." Johnny sighs deeply. "You haven't even heard how much money it is." Lory says, Johnny looks at her, he had forgotten his question because he simply doesn't care anymore. "If Marge wants to tell me than okay, but I don't really care about the amount of money she's having." Johnny looks at Marge now with a smile, she smiles back at him. "We will talk about this one day in the future" Marge decides it's enough information for Johnny to take in now, talking about her will and her plans to help him would be too much now "so, do you want to go on holiday or not?" Marge asks a bit more cheery, the rest nods and grins but Marge is looking at Johnny. "Okay, Hawaii sounds great, I've always wanted to go there." Johnny says and Penny grins. "Me too!" Baby giggles about her reaction. "Any objections?" Marge asks. "I don't care Marge" Lory says with a smile "I just need sun and sea." Marge chuckles and Luke gives Marge a kiss on her cheek. "Hawaii it is then. I will arrange everything, you only have to pack your bags." Marge stands up. "When are we going?" Billy asks. "Next week, how long do you want to stay kids?" Marge asks. "As long as possible." Penny stands up. "I need a bikini, new dresses and such." She says and Baby chuckles about it. "Go with Baby, she can pay if you want." Marge says and Penny smile, she walks to Marge and hugs her tightly. "Aren't you running out of money Baby?" Johnny asks, Baby looks at him and smiles while she shakes her head. "Baby's credit card is linked to my bank account, there's nothing to worry about Johnny." Marge says and he looks at her now. "But what if dad sees what I'm spending?" Marge snorts a little. "Your father doesn't have any insights in my bank account and the spending's" Marge says "your sister is worse, you have no idea how much money she's spending." Marge adds. "You need to stop her card then." Luke says. "I'm going to" Marge looks at him now "when she comes back next week she will get to know that the funds will be hers and available per direct and further she will not receive anything from me anymore." Marge says. "Funds?" Billy asks. "Yes, I have a funds for Lisa and Baby. It was actually for both of them and the bank told me it's gotten over the limit and Baby doesn't want a part of it, so I'll be giving it all to Lisa." Marge explains. "I'm going to take some rest now." She walks to the garden after giving Luke a kiss. "Let's relax as well." Lory says. Baby and Johnny are left in the kitchen, Johnny takes a deep breath and she looks at him. "I really had no clue Baby." Johnny says. "Oh" Baby says "me neither" he looks surprised at her now "until we were in the mall at McDonalds." Baby gives him a kiss. "How big is that funds Baby?" Johnny asks, she sits down and takes his hands. "Ten million with two million over the limit." Baby answers and his mouth drops now. "You're not joking, right?" He asks. "No, but I really don't want it." Baby says, he gives her a kiss. "Lisa can live in luxury from that money." He says. "She will run out of it within ten years or so, but mom wants her to learn how to handle money." Johnny looks down and Baby is watching him. "I don't understand how someone can spent so much money." He says, she smiles and grabs his head. He sits straight and she kisses him. "Me neither." She whispers, he chuckles a little and gives her a sweet kiss. "How much is Marge offering Jake?" He asks now, it just came into his mind. "Lemme just say that the house, the holiday home, the boat, the cars and half of her wealth in money is in her offer. The only thing she keeps from him are the obligations she has on the company." Baby says. "That's a huge offer really, is she sure about that?" Johnny asks. "Yeah, I think if it wasn't for the family wealth she would have given it all to him but she's not granting him that pleasure." Johnny chuckles. "If he's really that greedy as I think he is" Johnny says and Baby looks in his eyes "he's going to want it all." He says. "Mom has the best lawyer, dad's not going to win anything" she says "mom thinks he will accept the offer." She gives a sigh, Johnny pulls her on his lap, she faces him and lays her arms around his neck. They kiss and his hands are searching, she giggles a bit, he smiles as he bites his lip. "Billy's going to draw an example of the baby room and I want you to pick the colors or maybe you want to change something." He says, Baby smiles at him happily. "You're like a married man already, making sure everything is okay and so." She whispers, he grabs her bum and she bites her lip now. "Would you like to marry one day? Or are you afraid of it now after what happened?" He asks curious. "I would love to marry you one day, but you got to ask me properly mister." She lays her finger on his nose, they kiss again. "Let's check out the baby room." She whispers, just an excuse to get him upstairs, he chuckles and stands up while lifting her up, she giggles as he walks to the stairs.
The next morning, they sit at the table, Marge is making breakfast and the rest sits and drinks some coffee. Luke's on his last work day before the holiday, he went to get the newspaper. He walks back to the table and sits down while unfolding the newspaper, he takes his coffee and drinks when looking at the front page, he nearly spills his coffee and puts his mug down. "Marge." He says. "What is it?" She asks, Johnny looks curious and so did Baby. "You should see this." Luke reads the article. Marge walks to him and he reaches the newspaper out to her. She reads and Baby sees her getting angry. "That asshole!" She says. "He makes you look like you're the bad one." Luke says. "He even has told the reporter" Luke says "look." He points at the part. "For god's sake! He's a big liar" Marge lays the newspaper down, she growls, Luke stands up and grabs her hands, she looks at him and he smiles. She takes a deep breath and he takes her in his arms. "No matter what he has been lying about Marge, I won't leave your side anymore." Marge listens to him as she has her head against his chest, she smiles again and feels a lot calmer now, "I'm going to bring this to court and make sure my lawyer will warn him." Marge says as she thinks of something. "What's in the paper mom?" Marge takes the newspaper and gives it to Baby. Baby reads the title 'The heir of Gibson missteps into another man's arms', she snorts and Johnny starts to read the article. "Why is he doing this?" Johnny asks and looks at Marge now. "He thinks the company will pay him money now he tries to give the company a bad name" Marge explains "but I have a plan and if he doesn't agree with it, he won't be getting anything at all." Marge says with a smile and walks to the kitchen. She brings the breakfast and they eat, Marge's phone went off. "It's one of the directors." She stands up and walks to the kitchen while answering the phone. Luke looks at the time, he quickly empties his mug and takes another bite. "I need to go now" he says "have fun kids." He walks to the kitchen, he gives Marge a kiss and went to his work. Later that morning, Marge went to her lawyer and they talked about the article. Marge told him exactly what happened and that Baby wants to testify. "We can get this to win Marge" Nicolas says with a smile as he has wrote it down "I don't have to take this from him Nick, he's going too far." Marge's still distressed by this, that Jake has the guts to tell a reporter that she's a cheating and lying wife. "And this man Marge" he says "what's his name?" he asks as he had been reading the article "Luke, Luke Castle" Marge answers him "he's your boyfriend now? He was your college sweetheart, right?" Nicolas asks. "Does this matter in the case?" Marge asks. "Only when you're with him and dating him publicly. Because then it will indeed look like you're cheating on Jake." Nicolas explains, she gives a little sigh and looks down. "I'm with him yes, but not because I want to cheat on Jake" Nicolas leans forward and listens "but because he's my one true love Nick. My father has pull us apart and arranged me to marry Jake, my marriage wasn't in my free will" Marge says "I love Luke, I always have and always will." She explains. "I think the part of your daughter Frances being kidnapped by Jake and pushed to marry this guy works a great deal already to win this case Marge" Nicolas smiles, he opens a draw and takes some papers out "here are the divorce papers" he lays them down in front of Marge, she looks at it and smiles "this is the paper that validates your offer to him, he just needs to sign it if he agrees and your accountant will do the rest, you won't even notice it's done." He says. "Thanks Nick, if he signs this, will you let me know when it all is done? Then I know I can live in peace." Marge says. "I will for sure" he stands up, so did Marge "oh and Marge?" he walks around the desk, she only looks at him "if you're smart and he has accepted this offer and signed the papers, call a reporter and get an article in the newspaper, about the truth. Including your college sweetheart, it will save the company's name." Nicolas says, they shake hands. "Thanks Nick, I will keep it in mind." Marge smiles, they say goodbye and Marge went outside. She takes her phone and calls Rosita, she needs to know if Jake's at the house. After the phone-call, Marge went outside to look for a cab.
