Baby decided she would call Lisa. To tell her that she would be going to Kellermans. Also that she would be with Johnny.
Baby picked up the phone and dialed the number. Neil answered. He told Baby that he would get Lisa. Baby waited on the line for a few minutes.
Lisa picked up the phone. Then Baby explained everything to her. About her and Johnny. How Penny had lied. She told Lisa everything about the last few days. Lisa was happy for Baby. Lisa knew Johnny and Baby belonged together. Then Lisa told her she couldn't wait to see her. Then Lisa asked, if Baby had told their parents. Baby said, no that she hadn't talked to them in a while. Lisa told her that she better tell their parents. They were also coming to Kellermans. That they would be there when Baby and Johnny arrived.
Lisa told Baby, she should tell them before they went to Kellermans. So there would not be any surprises. It would be a lot better this way. So that their father Jake would not freak out. Baby agreed. She told Lisa she would go see them tomorrow. Since tomorrow was her day off. Lisa told her if she needed anything to call her back. Lisa told Baby she would see her at Jamie's wedding.
Then Baby went off to teach her classes. It was Baby's short day. So she would be done at 1pm. Baby told Penny, that she would bring Lily home afterwords.
Since she was coming by to talk to Johnny. Soon it was 1pm. Baby and Lily headed to the studio. Lily was almost 5. That didn't stop her from asking questions though. Lily asked Baby, if she was uncle Johnny's girlfriend?
Baby told her they were old friends. Lily said, uncle Johnny likes you a lot. I think he wants you to be his girlfriend. Baby laughed, it was cute what Lily had said. Baby told Lily, that she should leave matters of the heart to the adults. Lily told Baby, that she wanted Baby to be Johnny's girlfriend. Baby asked her why? Lily said, then you could be my auntie. Baby told her, she would like that. She also told Lily she was not sure if it would happen. Lily and her talked a little more. Baby explained things the best she could. Although Lily was only 5. She seemed to understand, what Baby was telling her. Once they arrived at the studio,Lily went upstairs to wait on her parents. Baby Ben was downstairs in the playpen napping. Well Penny finished up her classes. Billy was in the office doing paperwork.
Johnny's class had just finished. He had a 30 minute break before the next would start. Johnny was surprised to see Baby. Johnny walked over to her. He gave her a kiss. He told her he missed her. She told him she missed him too. Baby told him she needed to talk to him. She was going to tell her parents everything that had happened. Also About them going to Kellermans together. Johnny asked her if she wanted him to go. If she needed him to go he would. She did not have to go alone. Unless she wanted to. It made Baby happy that he offered. She told him she needed to do this on her own. He told if she needed him to call. Baby told him she appreciated it. They talked a while longer. She told Johnny, she was going to leave tomorrow. Johnny suggested she go tonight. Baby agreed. It would give her more time with her parents. She had not visited in a while. Her parents would be happy to see her. Baby told Johnny, she hoped her parents would be happy for her. Johnny said, well hopefully after they hear the truth. Maybe they wont think i am such an asshole. He told her he knew her father thought, he must be the biggest asshole on earth for hurting her. Maybe after she told him the truth he would change his mind. Baby hoped so. Johnny told Baby he had to get ready for his next class. To call him later and let him know how it went. Baby told him she would. Baby told Johnny, she would see him when she returned. Johnny kissed her goodbye. Baby went back to her apartment to pack some things. Baby rarely drove her car. It was easier just to take the bus or a cab. Today she would drive her car for the first time in months.
So after she packed. She decided to call her parents. Her mother Marge answered. Baby told her she was coming to visit. That made Marge very happy, she was coming to visit. Marge told Baby, she would call and let her father know. Marge said, Baby's father would be so happy to see her. Baby had not had much time to visit her parents. Ever since she began to teach at Julliard. It had been months since the last time she saw them. After Baby hung up the phone, she grabbed her bag. Baby walked out to her car. She put her overnight bag in the trunk of the car. Turned on the radio and began to drive.
It was an hour drive to her parents house. They lived in a suburb outside of New york city. Baby moved to the city when she began to attend Julliard. Baby drove singing to the radio and thinking of Johnny. Ever since she seen Johnny again. He was all she could think about.
She wondered what her parents would think. About her and Johnny finding each other. About them going to Kellermans together. She knew her father had been very upset with Johnny. After the way Johnny had hurt his daughter feelings. Baby understood why her father had been mad. He had to pick up the pieces to his daughter's broken heart. Listen to her cry for months. She thought maybe now he would understand. After she explained everything. How Penny lied. That Penny's lies was the reason things ended between them. Well she knew at least her mother would . She still wasn't so sure about her father. Soon she would find out. It made Baby nervous. She hoped they would take her news well.
Regardless she was an adult. What could they do about it anyway. She wasn't going to stay away from Johnny anyway. She was not going to lose him again. Soon she had arrived. She pulled into the driveway. Marge came out to greet her. Baby grabbed her bag out of the trunk and went inside. She went and put her things in her old room. Which was now a guest room.
As she made her self comfortable. Her mother yelled up the stairs at her.
Marge: Come down here Baby. It's almost time for dinner. Your father will be here soon. I thought we could talk a little before he gets here.
Baby: Be right there.
Marge: OK dear.
Baby came down into the kitchen. She helped her mother set the table. Marge began to talk to her.
Marge: So Baby how have things been?
Baby: Oh pretty good. That's the reason i came to visit. I have something to tell you.
Marge: Oh what is it?
Baby: Well i was waiting for Daddy. So i could tell you both. Well i guess i could tell you first though.
Marge: Well you have me curious. So tell me what has brought you here.
Baby went on to tell Marge the whole story. About how Johnny and her found each other. That Penny had lied all those years ago. How Penny was the reason she ended things with Johnny. How she ran into Penny. That Penny told her the truth. Baby told Marge she forgave Penny. She also told her about Lily. Baby said, She was going to Jamie's wedding with Johnny. They were also going to Kellermans as well. She told her, She still loved Johnny. Johnny still loved her. How they had spent the last few days together.
Baby said, she wasn't sure what was going to happen between them. They were taking things one day at time. Baby said, she had already told Lisa. Marge was in shock. She didn't really know what to say. They talked a few minutes longer. Marge told her, if that was what made her happy. Then she was happy for her. Marge said, she didn't know how Jake would react. Marge told Baby she would tell Jake. Baby agreed that would be best.
Soon Jake arrived home. He gave Baby a hug. He told her how good it was to see her. That he had missed her. Baby said, she missed him to. Then they all sat down at the table to eat. Dinner went well. Jake told Baby about going to visit Lisa. He asked her if she wanted to come. Baby told him she would have to see. She had a very busy summer. He told her to think about it. Baby said, she would. After dinner they talked about how their lives were going. Then Baby excused herself from the table. She went up to her room. She laid on the bed. Waiting to see how her father would react to the news.
Marge told Jake about Johnny. How Penny had lied. Penny's lies were the reason for the break up. Jake said, Johnny better never hurt his daughter again. He did not want to see Baby's heart broken again. Even though he knew it was not Johnny's fault. He would not inter fear this time. It wouldn't do any good anyway, Jake said. Jake didn't like the idea. Marge told him just see what happens. Jake agreed and then went to talk to Baby. He told Baby, he didn't like idea of her and Johnny together. Jake said, he didn't want to to see her hurt. Like the way she was last time. He understood it was Penny who was responsible. Jake hoped Penny would be a better friend now. He told Baby, he would although give him a chance. Seeing that Penny had lied. He understood why Baby forgave Penny. He understood why she needed to be with Johnny. Baby hugged her father and told him thank you.
Soon her parents went to bed. Baby decided she would call Johnny. To tell him how things went. To tell him she had her parents approval. Most of all her fathers.
Johnny answered the phone. She told him about everything her parents had said. Johnny was happy to hear it. Johnny said, he would see her tomorrow. Baby hung up the phone. She went on to bed.
Soon it was morning. She ate breakfast with her parents. She told her parents thanks again for understanding. They all talked for a while. Soon it was time for her to leave. She told her parents, she would see them at Jamie's wedding. They told her to be careful. To them call as soon as she made it home. Baby got into her car and drove home. Baby was happy that her parents were so nice. She was surprised that her father actually understood. Baby turned on the radio. She was now thinking of Johnny. She thought about him the rest of the way home.
Johnny was waiting for Baby to come home. He sat on the steps to her apartment. He wanted to take her to dinner. He had missed her. He could not wait to see her. Soon Baby would arrive home. Baby pulled in to her parking spot. She was happy to see Johnny waiting there for her. She walked up to him. She told him how much she missed him. He gave her a kiss. Then Johnny asked if she wanted to have dinner with him. Baby said, there was no other place she wanted to be. As long she was with him. Johnny took Baby's bag in to her apartment. Baby went in and took a shower. Johnny sat patiently on the couch.
An hour later, Baby and Johnny went off to have dinner. Dinner was great. They ate at an all you can eat buffet.
Johnny asked Baby if she wanted to stay at his place. Baby told him that she would love to. That night went just like the rest. Johnny held her till they fell asleep. The next couple of weeks went good. Johnny and Baby spent all of their free time together. Penny and Baby were becoming friends again. Although Baby was a little jealous. Penny and Billy had everything. Johnny and her should have had by now. Baby helped Jamie with the rest of the plans for the wedding. Everything seemed to be going very well. Tomorrow would be the wedding. Then Baby and Johnny would head off to Kellermans. Baby hoped that everything would fall into place.
She would just have to wait and see.
Sorry for the short chapter. The next will be about the wedding and the trip to Kellermans. Thanks for reading.
