The Wedding:
Baby and Jamie had just made it to the church. When they went inside. The preacher's wife showed them to a room where they could get ready.
It was a small room in the basement. It had a standing mirror,table and chairs, and a small bathroom. Baby and Jamie went out to the car to get the dresses, makeup,and a few other things they would need.
Baby and Jamie had finished bringing everything in. They began to fix their hair and makeup. Baby then began to talk to Jamie.
Baby: Jamie i hope Mark and you will be very happy. I hope one day maybe i can marry and start a family too.
Jamie: You will. When it's time. I have seen you with my daughter Abbey. You will be a wonderful mother. When it's time.
It's just not your time yet. Give it time Baby your still young.
Baby: I know it's not the time yet. I just hope it will be with Johnny. I hope he would want to have children. A family of my very own. A house for us to share. Oh how wonderful that would be.
Jamie: Well have you asked him? Baby i am not trying to be mean or anything but, what if he doesn't? Do you know if he wants marriage or children. A family, a house or anything like that. What if your dreams for the future are not the same. You need to figure this stuff out. Before you guys get really serious again. I would hate for you to get hurt a few years down the road. To think he has the same dreams as you. Then to turn around and not want the same things in life.. Would you be willing to give up those dreams? If he didn't want the same dreams?
You don't want to go through what i have. I mean everything that happens in life is for reason. It makes you who you are. I would just hate to see anyone have to go through what i did. I am happy now but, look what I had to go through to get here. Just think about it Baby. Please talk about these things with Johnny. So you know if you guys are on the same track.
Baby: Your right i have no idea if he wants a family or a wife. I love him but, I want a family. If he doesn't then i would not be willing to give up my dream of having one. I will have to talk to him about this stuff. I will while we are on our trip. I never thought about this stuff. Stuff like how much goes into a relationship. I do need answers. I am going to get them.
Even if i don't like the answers. I love Johnny but, I still want want what i want. I just hope he wants it too. It would break my heart and soul into pieces if he didn't.
Jamie: Good Baby please do. I hope it all works out the way you want. Now help this bride get ready for her big day.
Baby: OK lets get to it. Making you the most beautiful bride there ever was.
Jamie: Alright, but i have a question for you. My father can't make it here. Do you think Jake would give me away?
Baby: I am sure he will. He should be here soon.
Jamie: Thanks Baby for being my best friend.
There was a knock at the door. It was Alisa. She was Jamie's bridesmaid. Alisa had her dress, it was black like Baby's. Alisa asked Baby if she could go to Kellermans with her.
Baby told her she would ask Johnny. She was sure it was OK. They all got ready. The three of them looked breath taking.
It was almost time for the wedding to begin. Baby's father came in to check on the girls. Baby asked her father about walking Jamie down the aisle. He said he would be honored to. After what a good friend Jamie had been to Baby.
Baby asked her father if Alisa could go to Kellermans, with her mother and him. Seeing that Alisa parents were never around. That Baby was basically her new family. Since Alisa went to live with her that summer. Alisa's parents went to France. Alisa had told Baby that they were moving there. Alisa wanted to stay in the untied States. So before the wedding began Baby asked her father if Alisa could stay with them after the summer. Her father told her that he was sure it would be fine.
Baby's father went to ask Marge. Marge agreed that that poor girl needed them. How could she turn her away. Baby's parents told her the good news. It made Alisa so happy.
Soon it was time for the wedding to begin. Mark had brought Abbey to Baby's father. He took her to meet up with the rest of the girls. Jamie was so amazed to see how much Abbey looked like a little fairy princess. Jamie said, Abbey are ready for our new life? Abbey said yes Mommy. So they all went out to the waiting area. First Abbey and Alisa walked down the aisle. Then all of sudden Baby turned around to see Johnny standing there in a tux. What are you doing out here Johnny? Baby said in a surprised voice. Well Mark's best man is sick and he asked me to fill in. Johnny said with a devilish smile on his face.
Baby loved that smile. it made her heart skip a beat. So next Baby and Johnny walked down the aisle. Hand and hand, smiling so lovingly at one and another. The organist began to play Here Comes The Bride. Jake and Jamie made their way down the aisle. Jamie was the most beautiful bride Baby had ever seen. Then Baby looked over at Johnny smiled. As Mark and Jamie said their vows.
Baby dreamed of what her Johnny's wedding day would be like. Johnny wondered what Baby was day dreaming about. Johnny had not seen Baby look so beautiful. Well once but that was back in 1963 at the last dance. Soon the wedding was over. It was time for the reception. The reception was in the church's entertainment room. It was made up very elegant. Beautiful yellow roses, white candles and even a fountain.
Everyone danced and gave speeches to the Bride and groom. Johnny and Baby danced for a long time. Jake walked over to Johnny and asked if he would join him outside for a minute. Baby went to say goodbye to Jamie. Also to help Jamie changed so that they could leave for the honeymoon. Baby's parents agreed to take Abbey with them to Kellermans. So Mark and Jamie could enjoy their honeymoon. They were going to Niagara Falls. Jamie was so excited about the trip. Jamie and Mark would be gone for a month. Jamie and Mark would come to Kellermans to pick up Abbey when they returned. She would call Abbey every night. While they were away. Jamie trusted all of us with Abbey.
Johnny and Jake's talk:
Jake: Johnny i think you know what i want to talk about. I am not going to beat around the bush. I will get right down to business. Johnny i do not doubt you love my daughter. I have gave her my blessing. There are only a few things i want to make clear. Do you understand?
Johnny: Well i knew this would happen. That you would come out here to give me some speech. About this and that and everything else. I love Baby so i will hear you out. It doesn't mean i have to like it. So get to the point Jake. I don't have all night. Baby's waiting lets not keep her waiting. She will think your up to your old tricks.
Jake: Johnny i love my daughter very much. I am sure you know how hurt she was last time. I am sure you have made sure Penny isn't going to cause any problems. Because so help me god if you hurt her. Well you get my point.
I don't like you Johnny. You seem to have done pretty good for yourself. Now just do right by my daughter and there will be no problems. You got it. Maybe even one day i will learn to like you. If you keep my daughter happy maybe we can become friends someday.
Johnny: Loud and clear. I understand you are looking out for her but i am sure she is a big girl. She can handle it herself. Friends maybe if you would stop putting your two cents in all the time. we could be.
Jake: You heard me. I have every right to put my so called two cents in. Now lets go in there and enjoy our selves. Lets act like we like each other for Baby's sake.
Johnny: That's the only reason i don't....... Never mind lets just go back in.
Jake: I know what you were going to say. Lets just pretend you didn't almost say that. We will finish this conversation later.
Johnny: I am sure we will.
That conversation was very deep. Johnny understood he was just trying to protect his daughter. After what happened four years ago. He guessed deserved it. That Jake wouldn't just like him all over again. Johnny would change his mind. He hope so anyway. Or he would die trying.
Johnny and Jake went back inside. Baby asked if everything was OK. Johnny told her they were just bonding. He didn't want her to know what was said. They had had a good day why ruin it with her father's bull shit. It didn't matter what he said anyway. He was just being Jake. Johnny was used to it by now. Before he met Baby he would have punched someones light out for talking to him like that.
He wasn't like that anymore now. Since Baby had made him want to be a better person. He wasn't a little wimp either. He just didn't use his fists now.
Soon it was time for everyone to go on their way. Baby told Johnny, Alisa and her had a lot of packing to do. She would meet up with him at the studio tomorrow morning. Johnny said, ok but are you sure you don't want me to come stay with you. After i pack my stuff. Baby said, We have the rest of summer to be together. Alisa really needs me to talk with her. She is having a hard time you know? OK Baby But, only tonight, Johnny said. Yes Johnny only tonight, Baby replied. Johnny kissed her goodbye and told her he loved her. Baby said, I love you too. Baby told her parents good night. She would see them tomorrow. When she dropped Alisa off. Alisa and Baby went home and packed their stuff. Alisa told Baby thanks for everything she was doing for her. Alisa was only 16 and her parents really didn't care about her. Now Baby and her family were her only family. That Alisa felt blessed to have them in her life.
Alisa got a check every month to pay for school and other needs. Her parents told her she was on her own now. They would pay for school or what ever she needed but, they needed their time alone. With out her. Which made Alisa feel so unloved. Baby did not know what that felt like.
Baby's parents had always been there for her. Baby told Alisa, she could just share her parents with her. Baby said, Alisa was part of her family now. Plus Baby's parents missed having their girls around. Having Alisa there would be a blessing in disguise.
They finished talking and packing. Baby said, I think we should get some sleep. Tomorrow will be along day. Good night Alisa.
As Baby laid in her bed she missed Johnny more than ever. His arms around her, his smell, his eyes, and most of all the way he held her. Tomorrow would seem like forever to her. She laid there thinking about the first time she seen Johnny. It was when she told her Parents she was going up to the main house to check things out.
There was Max Kellerman telling the waiters his speech. About going to Harvard and Yale to find them and why. I remember old Max saying " Show the god dam daughters a good time." All the daughters even the dogs" Max told them to " sh-lap them out to the terrace." and to " Show them the Stars". Before Max could finish Johnny walked in.
I knew it then there was something about him. Something i wanted to know more about. Max told Johnny, " teach them the mambo the cha cha" but "keep your hands off".
Baby laid there a little longer and soon another memory came to her. She was thinking about when she ran into Billy and carried that watermelon up to the staff house. How everyone was dirty dancing and she had never seen people dance like that. The best part was when Johnny motioned for her to come out on the dance floor. He was showing her how to do it. Him touching her made her have chills down her spine. At that moment she knew she wanted him. Johnny later told her he danced with her night, just to see what a little rich girl could do. Johnny fell for Baby when he was teaching her the mambo. He tried to resist her but that night she came to his room after the Penny situation. He couldn't resit her anymore. Baby was laying there thinking of how her Johnny met and fell in love. This had been the first time in years she replayed it in her mind. It was almost like she was back there again. It was almost real. Soon Baby fell fast asleep. Dreaming of her Johnny. He might be a little ruff around the edges but, he was hers. That was all that mattered. She loved him no matter what. He was her heart and soul.
Now she knew that more than ever. She knew now that he was back in her life she was complete.
