Chapter 20: Penny tells Johnny

Penny went back to the studio. She asked Billy to feed the kids and, then put them to bed. Billy took the kids.
He knew there must be something Penny wanted to talk to Johnny about. He was sure she would fill him in later. Johnny asked about Lily's day at Julliard. Penny said it went well. Penny told Johnny she needed to tell him something. Not to interrupt her. He could ask her questions when she was through. Johnny agreed. Before Penny could tell him. There was a knock at the door. Penny went to answer it. Penny was shocked it was Alisa. Alisa couldn't sleep.
She had told Baby she was going for a late night jog. Alisa asked Penny if they could talk for a minute. Penny said yes.
Alisa told Penny everything. Down to the fact she knew Baby still loved Johnny. She told her everything Baby had said. Alisa asked Penny if she had told Johnny.
Penny told her she was about to until she showed up. Penny told Alisa they would talk more tomorrow. So Alisa went on home. Johnny asked what Alisa was doing there.
Penny said, she just needed some advice. Penny started to tell Johnny everything. First she wanted to know how Johnny felt about Baby.

Penny: I know you don't like to talk about this. I think it's time you deal with your feelings for Baby. That is what i want to talk to you about.

Johnny: Penny what's the use? It wont make it any better.

Penny: Maybe it will make you feel better. Just answer me one question.

Johnny: OK Penny. Only if you promise never to bring her up again.

Penny: OK i promise. Do you still love her? If you had the chance to see her again would you?

Johnny: Yes i love her. I never stopped. Yes i would see her again. She wouldn't want to see me. I am sure of that.

Penny: You don't know that. Now i need to tell you that i seen her today. She is Lily's teacher at Julliard.

Johnny: You got to be joking. Did she mention me?

Penny: Yeah kind of. I told her the truth about what i did. She forgave me. She thanked me for being honest. She did ask me if Lily was yours. I told her that she was Billy's. That we were happily married. I am going to talk to her tomorrow.
I will see if she feels the same way. I will let you know tomorrow.

Johnny was in shock. Could they have a second chance? He couldn't wait to see her. He was feeling so many emotions.
Penny told him About Alisa. How she was Baby's friend and roommate. How Alisa and Jamie had went to find him. That Baby didn't know. Johnny thanked Penny for telling him. Penny was going to make things right. She owed it to them. For what she had done all those years ago.

Alisa had made it home. She had to tell Baby the truth. So she woke up Baby. She told her she needed to tell her something. That it couldn't wait. So Baby got up to hear what Alisa had to say. Alisa told her everything. Baby was shocked. Alisa told her she should talk to Johnny. Baby doubted he would want to talk her. After the way she had treated him. Baby told Alisa thank you. That she just wanted was to go on with her life. She was sure Johnny wanted the same. Alisa told her to at least go with her to the dance studio to see. Baby knew Alisa wasn't going to drop it until she did.
So she told Alisa she would go with her on her day off.

Baby went to her classes the next day. After class Penny was there. Baby decided not to ask about Johnny.
That bothered Penny. Maybe Baby didn't love Johnny anymore. They ate dinner together. Penny told Baby about her life. Baby told Penny about hers. Penny asked her if she would come see the studio. Baby told her that she told Alisa she would tomorrow.
Penny had to tell Johnny. He had to tell Baby how he felt that would be the perfect opportunity. Penny went back to the studio and told Johnny.
Alisa was there. She told Johnny she knew Baby still loved him. That she was afraid he wouldn't want to see her.
Johnny told Alisa that wasn't true. Alisa told them she would bring Baby tomorrow. That it would be around 12:30 pm. Johnny couldn't wait.
He was nervous but, he had always dreamed of the day when he would see her again.

The next Day:

Johnny watched the clock it was almost 12:30. He was so nervous. Penny tried to calm his nerves but, it didn't help.
Baby wasn't sure how things would go. They would be there in 10 minutes. This meeting could change her life forever.
Soon they were there. Baby and Alisa walked into the studio. Baby seen Johnny standing there. He walked over to speak to her. Baby wondered why there were no students there.
Johnny had closed the studio for the day. So that they could talk. Alisa and Penny left the room. To give them some time alone. Johnny began to talk to Baby.

Johnny: Hi Baby. It has been along time. I hear your a teacher at Julliard. That is so amazing. I am so proud of you.

Baby: I see you haven't done to bad for yourself either.

Johnny: No not to bad at all. So how have you been?

Baby: Pretty good. I work really hard.

Johnny: Well you haven't changed much. Except your hair is longer and strait. It looks good though. You look good.

Baby: You don't look too bad yourself.

Johnny: Baby, would you have dinner with me tonight?

Baby: I would love to. We can catch up.

Johnny: Yeah i have talked to Neil a few times. Lisa and seem to be doing well.

Baby: Yes they are. Penny and Billy seem to be as well. Lily is a wonderful dancer.

Johnny: She sure is. Meet me here at 7 OK.

Baby: OK see you then.

Alisa came out and they went on there way. Baby told her she wasn't sure what to say to Johnny. Alisa told her, Just tell him how you feel. You can go from there and see what happens.
Baby agreed with Alisa for once. She had to figure out what to wear. Finally she found it. She would wear the little black dress. She had bought for Jamie's wedding. She remembered she had to tell Jamie.
Baby called her. Jamie was so happy for Baby. She told Baby to let her know how it all went. Baby told her she would call her tomorrow. Baby had to get ready. She didn't want to be late.
Johnny was waiting on Baby. He knew this would be his only chance. To tell her how he felt. He was going to tell her tonight. He just didn't know what he would say. He wanted her now more than ever before. He hoped She felt the same. Soon Baby arrived and they went off to dinner.
