Chapter One: for now, everything's perfect

Disclaimer: i don't own Swtiched At Birth.

Scones had just been pulled out of the oven and were blandly awaiting Bay on the counter. She sits down in front of them waiting for her mother or father or brother or someone to pop out of the corner and wish her good morning in that overly excited annoying voice that they always used. Her curiousity is digging with every second and she looks around anxiously for some morsal of life. Shrugging her shoulders she grabs a scone and begins walking around her overly large home, humming and thinking about what she should do with her completely free Saturday.

That's when she hears the faint sound of a motorcycle outside; it has become all too familiar around her home ever since Daphne had moved in. She walks to the window to get a better peak. She watches Daphne get off the bike and hug the blonde boy who for once had shut off his ride and removed his helmet. In a perfect world, he would walk into the kitchen where Bay was, wrap her in a hug and remind her that he had no feelings for the girl in the guest house but everyone knew that wouldn't ever be true.

Bay sweeps a peice of hair behind her ear and hears the door crack open. She see's Emmett waving at her, nervously glancing at her to see if it's alright for him to come in all the way.

She nods, "Come in, come in!" She exclaims shutting the door behind him and awkwardly bouncing around, "My mom..." She tries to sign, "She made... scones!" She points at the plate of food.

Emmett holds one hand up and puts the other on his stomach shaking his head; she loved how expressive he was, it intrigued her.

"How are you?" He signs leaning on the wall with his arms crossed looking her up and down.

"Oh!" She moves in closer to him, "I... I am great!" She smiles and returns the question.

He tells her he's good in the only way that he can and then kisses her because he doesn't want to miss out on his chance. Bay kisses back, knowing this isn't going to last forever and that really sucks because damn is he a good kisser.

"So..." She starts, "What were you doing with Daphne?"

Emmett's lip burst into a genuine smile and his hands start flying like crazy. Bay raises her eyebrows and looks panicked but the two quickly fall into a laugh and he begins to slow down.

"We were helping Regina get everything set up before she opened her shop today." His thoughts are rewinding back to earlier that morning, Bay can read him like a book.

"Oh." She says looking at the floor and clenching her fist, wondering why nobody had even informed her.

"I was surprised you weren't there, your mom was?" Emmett says questioning her.

Bay narrows her eyebrows, "She was?" She shakes her head, "Well, sounds like a party."

The blonde shakes his head seeing that his current girlfriend is obviously bothered, "Nevermind that! What do you want to do today?"

"We're hanging out?" Bay questions jokingly.

Emmett nods and puts his hand on her waist. She purses her lips just begging for a kiss and he takes full advantage of the offer. He never got nasty with it unlike the other guys that Bay had been with, not once had he tried to push anything on her, he took it nice and slow.

"We should probably get out of here before my parents come home..." Bay says pulling back and placing a hand on his chest, "They probably won't ever be comfortable with the fact that you drive a motorcycle."

He smiles at her, "I think I have an idea, but it's a surprise."

Bay bites her bottom lip and clings to his hand, "I like surprises." She whispers to herself knowing that no matter how quietly she said it, he could still read her lips.
