Disclaimer: I don't own Switched and Birth. I wish I were dating Emmett. He and Bay are adorable together. I knew something would happen between them from the moment I saw commercials for the show. I hope you enjoy the story.

I lay in my bed with my mind racing after the horrible yet hilarious conversation I had just had with Toby. His signing was awful but he was right. I shouldn't have treated Bay that way. I was just so confused for a moment. I mean Daphne said she wanted to be with me. After years of waiting my dream had finally come true. Honestly though it was too late for that. God! Why had I kissed Daphne? I guess I just needed to know what it felt like. To be honest I felt nothing, it was worse than getting a gift you thought you really wanted and it being nothing like you expected. I have to make this right with Bay. I hope she understands.

I was so nervous when I pulled up to Buckner and then I saw her walking in the opposite direction as to where I was. I only had one option to chase her. Finally I reached her and tapped her arm. She spun around a little shocked.

"Can we talk?" I signed

"You made it pretty clear yesterday that you and I can't talk to each other" She signed back angrily.

"Please." I signed

"No please don't make this harder than it has to be. Just because I'm sarcastic and always have some snappy come back doesn't mean I don't break easy. I get it, Daphne is your dream girl. She's pretty, deaf, and has known you forever. She gets you in a way that will take me a long time to. I can't compete with that. I don't want to stand in the way of something you have wanted for so long Emmett." She said slowly signing what she could and trying not cry. It was making my heart break. I couldn't believe I'd been such a fool and hurt her so. I really hoped that I could make this right. She turned to leave again and I grabbed her arm turning her back to me.

"Look, I was an ass yesterday. I've never been comfortable around hearing people, because I haven't been around them much. You are different though. You're not deaf Bay or hearing Bay. You're just Bay." I signed noting some confusion on her face. "It would be easier to find a deaf Bay or be with Daphne. I realized something though. I don't want a deaf Bay or Daphne." Now I took a deep breath and prayed she at least understood this. "I. Just. Want. You." I spoke aloud for the first time in years.

She just stood there staring for a moment with tears in her eyes. Then she made me the happiest person in the world when she threw her arms around me. Hugging her tightly I couldn't help but think how lucky I was to have her and how I never wanted to lose her. I pulled back slightly and kissed her. As we were kissing I thought we still have a lot to talk about, but this is a start.

AN: Sorry for how short the chapter is. It was much longer in word.
