I do not own Dirty Dancing.
It was a few days later when Lory discovered a new article. "You're right brother." She says and he looks at her. "What?" Luke asks curiously. "We're number one gossip now and here are some juicy pictures." She shows him the new article, he looks at it and reads the title 'Gibson's juicy exhibitionism', the title alone made him angry. Marge looks with him at the article and sees the pictures. From them when they had sex on the chair next to the pool, another picture came by, from the kids looking at them. Marge growls as she reads the description on the picture. "All good and well, but putting our kids out like this is unheard of." Luke says angry as he sees a picture from Johnny and Baby having sex against the wall. The kids are at the pool, Baby is sunbathing with Penny lying next to her, they are smiling and talking. The boys are swimming. Marge takes her phone and calls Nicolas again, Luke stands up and went outside to have a look around. He walks around the property and then he hears some noises, he walks to the bushes and push them aside. He growls and grabs the guy by his shirt, dragging him out of the bushes. Johnny looks at him and sees his father making a fist while the other guy holds his arms in front of his face. Johnny gets out of the pool and walks to his father. "What's going on dad?" The guy looks at Johnny now with begging eyes. "He's been taking pictures of us son, sending them to the papers and magazines with some stories added to it." Luke says angry. "Let him go dad, he's coming inside and will be explaining why he's doing this." Johnny walks to Baby, she looks at him as he tells her what just happened. The girls look at the guy who got dragged by Luke to the house, Marge and Lory look at them and sees the guy. "So, tell us why you're making these articles of us and why the hell you got it into your head to expose our kids like this?" Luke asks very angry as he points at the article on Lory's phone while pushing the guy into a chair, who swallows. "I'm calling the police." Marge says. "What article dad?" Johnny asks, Lory gives him her phone, he looks at the pictures and she sees his face changing. Johnny gives the phone back and tries to calm down and then grabs the guy's shirt as well, who got really scared now. "I'm assigned to do this." He swallows again. "Who assigned you?" Marge asks when her finger is hovering above the button to call the police. "Mr. Houseman." He answers. It was almost like a war has broken loose, Luke starts to pace frantically. "If I ever get my hands on that son of a bitch!" He yells, Johnny keeps the guy sitting down in the chair. Billy came inside and got to see the article, just like the girls. Baby starts to cry and Penny tries to shush her, Billy grabs the guy's camera and takes the memory card out. The guy swallows as he watch how Billy breaks the memory card in two. Lory tries to calm Luke down and Marge has called Nicolas again with that news. "I want you to write this down." Marge says looking at the guy, who quickly nods and wrote his statement down as soon as he got a piece of paper and a pen, Marge ordered him to put his name and address down as well and he did. Nicolas had told her to come back as soon as it's possible. "If I catch you snooping around again" Marge points at the guy's chest "I will call the police and let you get arrested for trespassing and violating our privacy." Marge warns him in an angry tone, he looks aside for a bit. "Like you care about privacy." He says in a nearly whispering tone, Johnny punches him and the guy groans. "One more comment like that to our mother and you will forget when it's your birthday." Johnny warns him and points at the guy's chest, Luke grabs the guy and lifts him onto his feet. "It's enough now, you'll be out of my sight now before I do something I might regret and don't show your face around here anymore." Luke drags the guy to the front door, he opens the door and throws the guy out. Billy and Johnny follow Luke and Billy throws the camera onto the guy's lap, Johnny looks at the guy again. "You've been warned." Johnny says and they went back inside, closing the door. The guy looks at his camera and stands up slowly, walking away and having pain everywhere, his phone went off. "No, I don't have new pictures" he says "one of them broke my memory card and my camera doesn't work anymore either." He explains. "I'll send you money to buy a new one, you need to expose them more, I'm paying you to do that." Jake says in a serious tone. "Look man, you're gonna buy me a new camera but I'm not gonna get close to that house anymore." He says. "You're going to, as I ordered you to do so." Jake says. "No way man" the guy says "they will kill me next time." He adds. "You can make a lawsuit of them harrassing you." Jake says. "No way man" the guy says, shaking his head "what is your problem anyway? You're divorced and they actually do look very happy" he hears Jake scowl angrily "I wouldn't win a lawsuit anyway, I've been trespassing and exposing them, no matter how much money is involved" he says "you know what? Leave it, you don't even have to buy me a new camera, I'm out of this, bye." He ends the call and gives a deep sigh. They all sit inside now, they all have seen the pictures. "I can't believe that dad has been doing this to us." Baby looks at her mother. "Your father has gone mental, that's for sure, but he will not get us down" Marge says "as soon as we're back home, Nicolas is going to court and with this statement from the guy, Jake's going to pay for this." Marge says. "When are we going home?" Penny asks, she doesn't feel really safe around here anymore. "Next week, I want you to have fun the last days, okay?" Marge asks, they nod and Baby lays her head against Johnny's shoulder. He gives her a kiss on her head and comforts her. "Let's have a nice walk on the beach." Johnny whispers, Baby nods and they stand up and walk outside. Luke is the rest of the evening truly grumpy and mad, even Marge tried to distract him, she gives a deep sigh as she sits with Lory outside at the pool. Billy and Penny sat inside, watching a movie and Luke said he needed a nap. The two women are talking about the situation when Baby and Johnny came back. "I need to pee." Baby says and walks inside, Johnny walks to Marge and Lory, they look at him and smile. "Marge?" Johnny asks. "Yes, Johnny?" Marge asks curiously, Johnny looks at Lory for a second and then back at Marge. "If you want me to go, I will." Lory says. "No, you can stay aunt." Johnny sits down next to Marge now, they look curious at him. He swallows once and looks down, not sure how to bring this. "I know in normal families it's the father who needs to give permission" he starts, Marge gasps a little bit and lays her hand on her chest "but since I can't ask Baby's father, I want to ask you" he says "you have my permission Johnny, I wouldn't want to see it differently anyway, you belong to Baby." Marge lays her hand on his cheek now, he smiles and hugs her. Lory awes and gives him a kiss on his cheek. "When do you want to ask her?" Lory asks curiously. "This Saturday, on the beach, during sunset" he says with a smile "it's Baby's birthday" Marge nearly whispers "yeah" Johnny smiles happily "that's a great plan, she'll love it" Marge says with a smile now "do you have a ring?" She asks curiously. Johnny takes the little box out of his pocket and shows them the ring. "It must have been expensive son." Marge says and he smiles at her. "It's worth every penny spend on it, Baby deserve it, she's" he pauses while putting the box back in his pocket, the two women watch his face and smile "she's everything to me, even if a thing like a ring will make me broke, she's still worth it." He takes a deep breath. Marge lays her hand on his shoulder and smiles. "You know you always can come to me if you need something" he nods "there's something I want to offer you Johnny" he looks curious at her and waits for her to go on, she smiles at him "I want to pay for the dance school you and Billy want to put up, let me do this for you, then you two can focus on getting it up and running" Marge says "but I can't ask you to do that" he says "you can, I will pay anything you and Baby need so you two don't have to take a mortgage or a loan and besides" Johnny sits more straight now, Baby came back outside "I want to leave you and Baby the wealth and the company when I die, well Baby will inherit the company but the wealth is for both of you." Johnny jumps up, he looks at Baby, she smiles. "You heard that Baby?" He asks in disbelieve. "Yes, I already know about mom's will." Baby takes his hands. "And you are okay with this? Do you want this wealth?" He asks, he wasn't sure if he wants that. "I don't want the wealth, but mom wants to keep it in the family and we can learn, just like her, to keep living normal even though we have a lot of money then." Baby says, trying to smile at him. "This is a lot to take in" he takes a deep breath "what about the company Baby? Do you want to run that?" He asks now. "I don't have to worry about it Johnny, like mom I don't have to run it, others are running it for her" Johnny listens "mom only goes once a year to a meeting to see how the company is going, that's the only thing I need to do as well then." Baby explains, Johnny looks closely at her and she smiles. Seems that Baby has accepted her faith already, he gives a deep breath. "If you are behind this Baby and you want to keep the company in the family, then I will support you." Marge smiles now, she stands up and hugs Johnny and Baby. "It couldn't have been going to better people." She's holding Johnny's and Baby's hands now, Lory stands up as well. "Let's make dinner." She says, Marge walks inside with Lory.
That Saturday, Baby had the best birthday ever, she got spoiled, mostly with hugs, cuddles and kisses. Lory and Marge have been making a big cake for her and she made a wish. She loves every minute of the day. After dinner, they went inside and Johnny takes her hand, Baby looks at him. "Let's have a walk on the beach, I want to be alone with you." He says, she smiles and they walk to the beach. Marge and Lory look after them with a smile, Luke sees their faces. "You know something that I don't." He says, they chuckle a bit. "You'll see soon." Marge gives him a kiss. Baby has taken her slippers off and she enjoys the feeling of the warm sand on her feet. Johnny looks at her face and smiles happily. They stand still now, looking at the horizon. "It's so beautiful, I'm going to miss being here with the whole family, I have such a great time." She silently says, he smiles as he turns to her, taking both her hands in his, she looks at him and smiles. "Baby" he starts, swallowing a bit "we've been through so many horrible things together, we're together for almost a year now, many couples wouldn't have been together anymore after the first bad thing that has happened" she lays her hand on his cheek, he gives a little kiss on her palm "it feels like I know you my whole life already, and that we're together for a very long time" he whispers, she stands on her toes and gives him a loving kiss "I love you so much Baby" he says "I love you too Johnny" she says "I can't think of a future without you, wealth or not, company or not, bad times and good times" he gives a little sigh "I want it all with you" he went to kneel down now and takes the box out of his pocket, Baby gasps and holds her hands in front of her mouth, he looks in her eyes and sees a tear falling "Frances Houseman, do you want to marry me and become my wife for the rest of my life?" He opens the box, she looks at the ring and bursts out in tears now, he looks at her and awaits patiently, she looks in his eyes and grabs his head. "Yes." She whispers, he smiles widely now. "Yes Johnny, there's nothing more in this world that I want." She says, he stands up and takes the ring out of the box, she watch how he puts the ring on her finger. They hug and she kisses him, he kisses her back, grabbing her tightly. He strokes her tears away and smiles happily, he gives her a kiss again and she giggles. "I'm so happy." She whispers, he smiles about her face. "I'm going to marry the best man in this world." She giggles a bit and he chuckles about that, she looks at the ring and smiles. "It must have been expensive Johnny." She says. "It was, but I'm happy you love it." He gives her a kiss again. Marge has taken Luke with her to the edge of the garden, so they could see Baby and Johnny on the beach. "They look so happy." Marge whispers, Luke lays his arm around her waist and she lays her head against his shoulder. Lory walks to them as well and looks at Baby and Johnny. "Look Marge." Marge stands straight again and lays her hand on her chest while smiling. "Is he proposing?" Luke asks, the women only nod while they keep watching them. "You two knew?" He asks. "He asked Marge for permission." Lory says with a smile, Luke looks at Marge and she only smiles at him. "My son is full of surprises." He smiles as well now, they look at Baby and Johnny again, Lory takes a few pictures with her phone. "For the memory album." Marge chuckles. "I'm happy he wants to marry her Marge" Luke says after a moment "they belong together." She agrees with him. Baby and Johnny walk slowly back, Luke runs to them and grabs his son in a tight hug, Baby smiles at them. Marge and Lory follow slowly and smile happily, Baby look at her mother and smiles happily. "You've been watching, haven't you?" Johnny asks while chuckling about his father's face. "We have and it looked so romantic." Marge says with a smile, she hugs Johnny as well. "I made secret pictures." Lory giggles but shows them the pictures. "Oh, may I have them please?" Baby asks. "Of course." Lory smiles, they hug and Lory hugs Johnny as well. Luke takes Baby's hands and smiles at her. "You'll be such a great wife for Johnny, I couldn't have wished for better." Baby hugs him. "Thanks dad." She says and he grins now. Billy and Penny came to them, being curious about what's going on. "We're engaged!" Baby says excitedly and shows Penny the ring, who shrieks and jumps on top of Baby, they fell on the sand and giggle a lot. "Congratulations cuz, you'll be the best husband Baby can wish for, other way around as well." Billy says and they hug tightly. "Thanks cuz, that means a lot, when are you and Pen going to start?" Johnny asks in a teasing way and Billy chuckle. "I don't think it will be too long now, we're looking at you and Baby, and we can't stay behind can we?" Billy asks and the men chuckle, Penny looks at them and smiles. "You mean that Billy?" She asks, he looks at her and sees the twinkle in her eyes, he swallows a bit but smiles. "I do, but I'm not going to ask you now, that takes the surprise away." Penny giggles and jumps on top of him now, he spins around as they kiss. Lory smiles at them. "About time." She says and the rest laughs. Penny grabs Johnny to her and Billy and she gives him a kiss on his cheek, he chuckles and grabs her from Billy and spins around, making her shriek and giggle, Baby giggles about it. "I'm so happy Johnny, for you and Baby." She says as he puts her down now. "It's thanks to you Pen, if you hadn't invited her for lunch that day, I would never have met Baby." Johnny says and Penny giggles, she hugs him again and Baby went to hug them, the rest joined in and they had a group hug. "I love these hugs." Penny says and they chuckle. "I love this family." Lory says and the rest agrees. "We need to get you a date mom, it would complete the family." Billy says and she looks at him with a smile. "That's very sweet son." She gives him a kiss on his cheek. "Let's go out and dance somewhere." Johnny says, they agree and all went to change clothes and then out for a dance and a drink, celebrating life, the family, the pregnancy and the engagement.
As the time passes, the kids went back to college, a lot happened the next year's passed. Marge won the lawsuit and the magazines and Jake needed to pay a lot of money, and in response to that Marge donated that money to the children's hospital. The pregnancy goes really well, and at the first echo Johnny couldn't keep it dry. Baby fell even more in love with her unborn baby, the planning for the wedding was a busy time, which Marge has taken on her to do, she wanted to pay for everything as well, something Johnny wanted to argue about but in which he lost. It still was hard for him to get use to the wealth that Marge has and that he'll inherit with Baby, but Baby is sure he'll be used to it eventually. Marge had told him that it took her years as well. No big dramas occurred, luckily for them, they deserve to have peace in their lives. Jake tried to look for contact with Baby but she refuses to see him at first, she just couldn't see him, not yet at least, with the arranged marriage, kidnapping her, and then exposing her. It's too much for her and she just can't trust him. Lisa is another story, she eventually choose for her own life and told her mother about it. She had packed her suitcase and stayed at her best friend for a little while before she even dared to call her mother. She had ran away from dad, because he was being unbearable and it's that moment that Lisa admitted to her mother that she understood why she divorced him. Marge bought her a house, not in the fancy neighborhood, but neither in the poor neighborhood. Lisa got a new car, nothing too expensive, it was her own choice and she got a job as a secretary at a library. She hasn't spent much from the funds Marge has given her. Baby was happily surprised about her sister's change and has decided that she would want to have contact with Lisa again. And to her even bigger surprise, Lisa admitted everything, even her feelings for Johnny, he has been taking it well but politely rejected her feelings. Nevertheless, Lisa has told Baby she's looking forward to becoming an aunt and so it started that Baby invited her sister over from time to time.
When, in February, Baby walks around at college with Penny, her belly is huge or at least it's how Baby feels. She has her arms around her belly while Penny carries both their books. The teachers have been holding a watching eye on her as well. "You have a name for him?" Penny asks curiously. "Not yet, we have several options though, but it's so hard" Baby says "it needs to fit with Castle." She adds and Penny smiles, they know the gender since a few months now. Penny had suggested to hold a gender reveal party, like many couples are doing these days, but Baby didn't to do that. She just wanted to tell everyone she came across. "Bob fits." Penny says as they enter the classroom for Biology. "What about William?" Baby asks and giggles, Penny giggles too. "Mark." Penny says after a moment. "But Lory" Baby says "I know, but I'm sure she'll love it and it fits" she holds her hand up, Baby thinks "Mark Castle, it has a good ring to it" Baby whispers and looks at her belly now, the baby hasn't moved since last night and it worries Baby, she had told Johnny this morning and he wanted to take her to the hospital but she refused, she's hoping to feel him soon again "I'm so happy that Billy and I are going to be godparents, it feels like we are also becoming Mark's parents." Penny giggles and Baby looks at her smiling face. The teacher walks inside and smiles at the kids. "We're going to work on our project today." He says and looks at Baby, he smiles and walks to her, the rest has start working now. "You're alright?" He asks to be sure. "I am" Baby says and he smiles, he turns around "sir?" Baby asks and he turns back to her "what does it mean when the baby stopped kicking?" He looks at her belly and back at her. "has it been kicking all the time before?" he asks and she nods "since when did it stop?" he asks "last night, sir." Baby says worried. "You'll prolly be in labor soon, this normally means the baby's head down and getting ready to be born." He tries to explain, he had the same experience with his kids when his wife was pregnant from them. Penny looks at Baby, who nods, she feels that she needs to pee and stands up. It's the pressure from the baby, she knows that, but the second that she stands up she did feel fluid between her legs. Penny looks at her. "Your water just broke I think." Baby nods, she holds her hands on her belly and her body is tensing up. It's very painful and she tries not to yell it out. "You need to go to the hospital, I'll call Johnny." The teacher quickly walks to his desk. Penny takes Baby's arm to support her. "I want you to stay with me, and Billy too." Baby says, the teacher looks at her and nods. Johnny's phone went off, everyone looks at him now, and the teacher looks annoyed. Johnny answers the call. "You need to come to Biology Johnny, with Billy, Baby's water has broken, the baby is on the way, you need to get her to the hospital." The teacher says. "I'll be right there." Johnny jumps up, Billy looks at him. "We need to go Billy." Billy stands up. "What are you two going to do?" The teacher asks. "I'm going to be a father very soon." Johnny smiles, they walk away and the teacher smiles now. Some guys have been whistling at Johnny before he closes the door. "Pay attention now." The teacher gives them a stern look. Johnny and Billy quickly went to the Biology room and entered, the teacher smiles at Johnny. "Johnny!" Baby reaches out for him, he helps her by supporting her. "Let's go." He says and she nods, he gives her a little kiss and they walk away. Billy and Penny are following them, the girls in the classroom were in awe and they gave a deep sigh, the teacher chuckles as he closes the door behind Billy and Penny. "Back to work now." He says. "Sir, you think she will be alright?" One of them asks, everyone looks at her. "I think she will, she's in good hands." He says with a smile. "She's so lucky with him." Another says and they gave a sigh again, the teacher rolls his eyes and chuckles. "One day girls, and you will have that too." He says with a wink. "Call mom and dad, and aunt." Baby says. Billy did. "Warn Lisa as well please, I want her to know that her nephew is getting born." Penny took her phone and calls Lisa. Johnny quickly drives to the hospital while Baby starts to puff now. "Don't you dare to come out in the car." She says to her belly and rubs it with her hands while she feels a contraction coming up. Johnny parks the car at the hospital and they slowly walk inside, a nurse sees them and warns a doctor. "How often are the contractions?" The doctor asks. "I don't know, my water just broke about twenty minutes ago." Baby groans in pain now, the nurse came with a wheelchair and helps Baby in it. "Who's the father?" The doctor asks. "I am." Johnny says. "Follow me." Baby looks at Penny and Billy. "I want them near." She says, the doctor looks at them as they wait. "Alright, but no more people." Baby nods. They follow the doctor to the delivery rooms, Baby's doctor who will deliver the baby has come inside after the nurse has put Baby on the bed. "It's a family gathering I see." He says with a smile. "Yeah, I want them close." He only smiles at her. "How are you feeling Frances?" He asks as he checks her pulls. "Could be better, the contractions are horrendous." Baby tries to keep it descent. "That's a soft expression for them, I'm going to feel how far down the baby is." He tells her and he feels, making her tensing up a bit, Johnny is holding Baby's hand, she hasn't let his hand go and she doesn't want to. "We need to wait, it's not far enough yet to begin the delivery" he takes his gloves off, Baby gives a deep sigh and lays her head on the pillow "you've thought of a name when he's born?" He's trying to make a light conversation. "Yeah." Baby answers and Johnny looks at her. "You have?" He asks, she looks at Penny and then at Johnny and nods. Penny takes her other hand and Baby tries to smile at her, she looks at Billy who's a little scared and worried. "I think Billy's having a hard time." Baby says and Johnny looks at his cousin, Johnny understands Billy, he's feeling the same, but mostly he's very concerned for Baby's well-being. "You can go outside if you feel like it." Baby says, Billy walks to her and she takes his hand. "You don't mind?" She shakes her head and smiles. "Stay strong Baby, I will be outside with our parents." He gives Baby a kiss on her cheek, she smiles at him. Billy looks at Penny who gives him a kiss, Billy went to hug Johnny and walks outside. Baby took Penny's hand again and exhales deeply after a contraction. It took some time before the doctor said it's time for the delivery. Baby yells out loud every time she needed to push, it was so damn painful and she wants the baby to be out now. Exhaustion is flowing over her and she has her eyes closed, Johnny takes the hair out of her face and feels how sweaty she is. He feels terribly useless, Penny rubs Baby's hand to comfort her, seeing this painful event, she wonders if she still wants to have babies. "One more push Frances, you can do it." The doctor says, and as soon as he told her to push, she did and the baby got out. He quickly puts a finger in the little mouth, cleaning it a bit, he lifts the little boy and shakes a little. Johnny's watching him, the baby starts to cry and the doctor smiles. "There you go." He made a quick check up. "Here's your healthy little baby boy." He says, the nurse is holding a soft towel and he lays the baby on her arms. She walks to Baby and lays the little man on her chest. "He's so beautiful." Baby whispers as she looks at him with a smile, Johnny looks at his son and smiles happily. Baby grabs Johnny's arm and pulls him a little closer. "Look at him Johnny, he has your nose." She whispers, he chuckles a bit and gives her a kiss. "He's perfect Baby." He whispers and gives his son a little kiss on his little head, very careful though. Penny is in total awe now, now she understands what most mothers are saying and even though it all looked so painful, she does want this as well with Billy. "He's so beautiful Baby." Penny whispers, Baby looks at her. "Come closer." Baby says. "Meet your aunt Pen." She whispers as she looks at her son again with a smile. "I'll leave you for a bit, if you need anything just call for me." The doctor says. "Oh, can we have more people inside now?" Baby asks, the nurse has been cleaning everything up and Baby is prepared to move to a resting room. "When you are in the other room." He smiles. In the resting room, Penny went to get the rest of the family, they have arrived at the hospital. Billy and Johnny hug tightly again. "I'm so happy cuz, you have no idea." Johnny whispers and Billy smiles at him, he then looks at Baby and the little man. "He's so small." Billy says and Baby smiles, he leans in to give Baby a kiss on her cheek. "You must be so tired Baby." Her mother walks to the other side. "Hey mom" Baby receives a kiss on her cheek from her mother "I'm exhausted but I'm not even thinking about that, look at your grandson, how perfect is he?" Baby looks at her son again, Marge looks at him as well and smiles. "He has the Castle nose, I take that as a good sign." Marge says and the rest chuckles about it. "See son, they're already making fun of you." Luke looks at his grandson, Baby giggles and gives him a little kiss. Luke gives Baby a kiss on her cheek and hugs his son tightly. "Congratulations son, now it all is going to start but I'm pretty sure you are going to love every moment of it." Johnny smiles at his father. "Thanks dad." He hugs him again. Lory came to the bed as well and Marge gave her a little space so she could look at the little baby boy. "He's very beautiful Baby" she says with a smile and gives Baby a kiss on her cheek as well "you have a name?" She asks, everyone looks at her now, Baby looks at Penny who gives her a nod and a smile. "I want to name him Mark." Baby says, they all look at Lory now who lays her hand on her chest and some tears fell down her cheeks. "I think that's a great name Baby." Baby smiles more now and she looks at Johnny who's smiling at her. He gives her a kiss and looks at his son. "Mark it is." He gives his son another little kiss, his fingers carefully touches the little hand, Mark is moving a bit and he grabs his father's index finger. Johnny fell head over heels in love with his son.
