It was morning and Johnny and Baby were getting ready to eat breakfast. Johnny went over to the fridge. Johnny noticed that it had been fully stocked and there was a note inside. The note read:
Johnny,
I had a fridge and stove put in here for Baby and you. So that it would feel more like home
I hope you like the food I have stocked for you. If you need any thing else just let me know. Thank you for coming. You don't know how much this means to Lisa and I.
Enjoy, Neil
Johnny and Baby thought it was nice of Neil to do that for them. Johnny started to cook breakfast. Johnny said, I hope pancakes and bacon is ok. Baby told him that would be fine. While they were eating breakfast Johnny asked Baby, if they could discus things tonight about Neil's offer. Mostly because Johnny needed to know Baby's plans. If she would stay their with him. Baby told him that would be great, She had a lot of other things they needed to talk about too. Soon it was time for Johnny to meet Neil. Baby went to spend time with her family since Johnny would be tied up all day with Neil.
Baby went to Lisa's house. When she got there she noticed that her father was not there. Marge told her that he went with Neil. So it was just the girls. Alisa asked if she could take Abbey to play outside. Abbey was only eight and needed supervision. Marge told her that was fine. Marge asked Baby, what she thought about Neil's offer to Johnny. Baby told Lisa and Marge, that she thought it was a good opportunity for Johnny. That Johnny could just move his dance studio here. Also that she knew Kellermans was special to him and he would do anything to help. Marge said, No Baby that is not what I meant. I meant what are your plans if Johnny moves up here? Baby told Marge, She had not decided what she would do. Johnny and she were going to talk about it tonight. Marge told her, she wanted to know Baby's plans, as soon as they figured them out. Baby looked at Marge with an annoyed look on her face. Baby told her mother, she was an adult now to treat her like one. Marge apologized she did not mean to upset Baby. The reason she wanted to know was because of Alisa. That she would have to prepare Alisa for it. Alisa thought of Baby like a big sister. Marge told Baby that she talked to Alisa parents and they were giving custody of Alisa to them until she turned eighteen. It made Baby happy that Alisa would have a family that wanted her now. Alisa would be seventeen soon but, she could not make it on her own without quitting school and working full time. Baby or her parents did not want to see that happen.
After they talked awhile longer Baby, Marge and Lisa went to check on Skye and Roman. Anna the nanny was with them. Lisa told Anna, she could take the rest of the week off, seeing that Lisa's family was visiting. Lisa had hired Anna so that she could help Neil with Kellerman's. Neil did own another hotel until about three months ago. Neil sold it for a lot money. Neil wanted to make sure that he would have enough money to take care of his family and have time to focus more on Kellermans. Kellerman's was very important to Neil and he needed to make sure that it would never close. Neil, Jake and Johnny were making the plans today to save it. Johnny told Neil, he knew a lot of people that could help with remodeling. Johnny explained that after he left Kellermans in 1964, he went on to work in the painter and plasters union. Johnny still had a lot of connections with people in that field. Johnny told Neil, he would make a few calls to get a fair price for the remodel. Neil was happy to hear that.
Neil went back home to tell Lisa all of their plans. Meanwhile Jack wanted to finish the conversation, Johnny and him were having at Jamie's wedding. Jake told Johnny, he was sorry for being so harsh. Johnny said, he had been kind of a jerk to him too. Jake said, he was grateful to Johnny for helping Neil. Jake had been wrong about Johnny. Jake then asked, if Baby was ok with Johnny being Neil's new business partner. Johnny explained, they were going to talk about it more tonight. Jake just said to please not hurt his daughter. He did not think Baby could handle having her heart broken again. Johnny told him not to worry that that was not his intentions. Jake shook Johnny's hand and told him thank you. Johnny told Jake, they should start over and the the past in the past. Jake agreed, he told Johnny he would seeing that Baby and him were working things out. He would now accept Johnny, so that he could stay apart of Baby's life. With a sincere tone in his voice Jake told Johnny, Please just be sure that you too agree on this offer. I want Baby to be happy make sure that this will make her happy. Think about that Johnny while you are making your final decsion. Johnny replied, I will I would never force or expect Baby to do anything she did not want to. Jake, I love her more than life itself. Jake said, I know you do, I see the love that you guys have for each other, I see it in your eyes every time you talk about her. Well better get back, I am sure they will start to wonder what happened to us, Johnny said with a chuckle. Jake just laughed and said, Yeah they might think we killed each other.
Jake and Johnny went back to Neil's house. Everyone sat down for lunch. They all talked about how they hoped that all the plans for Kellermans would work out. Jake and Marge were only staying a month. Johnny hoped that Baby would agree to move up to Kellermans with him. Johnny had decided to become Neil's partner. He just had not told Baby yet. After lunch Neil and Jake went to golf. Johnny went to make a few phone calls. Baby, Lisa, Marge, Alisa and the children went into town to do some shopping. Alisa and Baby went into a book store to get some new books for Alisa to read.
Alisa asked Baby, how everything was going with Johnny. Baby told her good so far. Alisa told Baby, Marge had told her earlier Baby might not be going back to New York. Baby asked her, when did she tell you that? Alisa said ,when you and Lisa were outside with the kids. Baby told her, she had not decided what she is going to to do yet. Johnny and her were going to talk about it tonight. Alisa told just to let her know. Alisa said, she would not be mad if Baby stayed. She had Marge and Jake to help her now, Baby could now just focus on her life. Not to worry about her when she decided. Baby told Alisa, thanks for being a good friend. Alisa replied, No thank you for helping me so much. If it wasn't for you, I would have no family. Baby said, It has been my pleasure to help you. Everyone deserves to have people there to love, care, and help them through life. Alisa you will now have the chance to do anything, go to college or whatever it is you want. My parent's will be there for you. They are now your family. Alisa hugged Baby. Baby was such a wonderful person. She cared so much about helping others. Never selfish, she was so caring, loving, and the most remarkable person Alisa had ever met.
Soon it was time for dinner everyone ate and then Baby and Johnny decided that is time for them to go back to the cabin. They needed to talk about everything tonight. Johnny started talking first. He told Baby what he had decided.
Johnny: Baby I have decided to become Neil's business partner. It's a good opportunity for me. I will let Penny and Billy run the studio in New York. I called them and already told them and they are happy to do it. Baby I hope you will move up here with me. You could help teach dance to people here. I will respect whatever your decision is. I will still love you no matter what. If you decide not to stay we will figure something out. Baby, one other thing, when your father and I talked today we decided to start fresh and leave the past in the past. I thought you might be happy to hear that.
Baby: Johnny I am so glad to hear that. You have no idea how long I have waited to hear this. I am so relived to hear I wont have to worry about you two not getting along.
Baby paused for a second. She was a little nervous, how Johnny would take what she was going to say next. She took a deep breath and just said it.
Baby: Johnny I need........
Johnny: Baby just say whats on your mind. Spill it,you will not make me mad. Just be honest.
Baby: OK Johnny here goes. Before I make the decision to stay here, I need to tell you a few things.
Johnny: Now you have my attention. Go on and tell me Baby, there is no need to prolong this. It seems that this something you really need to say.
Baby: It is Johnny. You know how you have been asking what has been bothering me. Why I haven't been myself. .....
Baby paused again. She was having a hard time thinking of how put things. Johnny was getting a little frustrated, He did not understand why she was afraid to tell him this.
Johnny: Baby you can tell me anything, even if it is bad. Just let me know what is going on with you. We will deal with whatever it is together.
Baby sat there a second and then she decided it was time to just speak what had been on her mind.
Baby: Johnny it is about my dreams. What I want for the future. I do hope you want the same things. If you don't we will have to go our separate ways. I would hate that if we did. It would kill me. Johnny just know I love you. Sometimes love is not enough. I have to be honest with you. I can not give up these dreams. Just answer me honestly. Even if I don't like the answers,I need to know. I need to plan my future, even if you can't be part of it. I really hope you are.
Johnny: Baby just ask me. I am sure we might want the same things. I am glad that you are being honest. Sorry I interrupted you.
Baby: That is ok. I am just glad you are not mad for what I have said.
Johnny: I could never be mad at you for being honest.
Baby took another deep breath and just spilled everything out all at once. She was not going to hold back any longer.
Baby: Johnny so you ever want to get married, have children, A family. Settle completely down. I see everyone I practically Know, married, happy and with their beautiful children. It is something I have been thinking about since Jamie's wedding. It is my dream to have a marriage, children and live happily ever after. Just like Jamie and Mark, Penny and Billy, Lisa and Neil, and my parents have. I want this to be with you. Do you want it with me? I need to know, please Johnny just tell me.
Johnny: Baby, I do want those things and with you just not yet. I have a lot of other things I need to do before that can happen. Baby I hope you understand. You are only twenty three and I am twenty eight. We have plenty of time to make all of our dreams come true. I love you why would you doubt that I would not want any of those things. Most of all with you.
Baby: Johnny I did not know, how you would feel about after all this time. I know we just found each other, I just thought you would think I was crazy for asking. Johnny, I can wait on my dreams for now but, not forever. I guess we will know when the time is right. Johnny I will stay here with you. I will call and tell Julliard tomorrow. My dream is now here with you, sharing our lives together. I love you so much. More than I could ever say.
Johnny: Baby I am so happy that you are staying. I love you so much too. I guess we can tell everyone tomorrow. Now lets enjoy the rest of the night.
Baby leaned over and kissed Johnny with all the passion in her body. Johnny kissed her back. Soon they were kissing and feeling each other all over their bodies. Johnny picked up Baby and laid her on the bed. They looked in to each other's eyes and you could see all the love, passion, and desire in their eyes. It had been four years since they had made love. Johnny treated Baby as if she was a queen caressing her body, in ways that no one could imagine. The night could not have been more perfect, than either of them could have ever thought it would be. Baby and Johnny realized in that moment, they were meant to be together. Baby had taking Johnny's breath away. She was still as beautiful as she was back in 1963. Baby had recaptured Johnny's heart again, as did he hers. Baby could have never imagined, how much she had missed Johnny making love to her. It had been more amazing now than the first time. There was so much passion that Johnny put in to making love to her. Baby could not believe how much he had pleased her. Johnny had full filled all that she had ever desired, everything that she had longed for and dreamed about the past four years. It was more than she could have ever dreamed it would be. Johnny treated her body as if it were a temple. After they were finished Johnny just held her tight in his arms. He was never going to let her go again. Johnny knew from this day on he would spend the rest of his life pleasing Baby, in every way that you could imagine. Baby laid there, with the expression of complete satisfaction on her face. That brought an unbelievable sense of joy to Johnny. They laid there gazing endlessly into each other's eyes, hoping the night would never end. They were soaking up all of the passion and pleasure in this moment in time. Baby and Johnny just had one of the most amazing nights in their lives and many more to come.
