I do not own Switched at Birth. Sue if you want; I don't even have a job. You won't get anything.
John POV
John looked Kathryn in the eye and said what he had been thinking all day. "She isn't ours. She can't be ours."
He was looking at a sleeping baby with alabaster skin, beautiful doe eyes, and raven colored hair. Gorgeous, but it didn't fit with his wife and son's strawberry blonde hair. His hair was darker, but not that dark.
"My grandmother had some Italian blood, that's where Bay gets her beautiful coloring. She's ours John. She has to be ours," her voice was almost a whisper as she finished.
"Why, Kathryn? Why does she have to be ours?"
His wife looked at him and said in a shaky voice, "Because if she isn't ours, where is our baby? Where is our baby girl?"
The hospital board had not been at all helpful but once it went to court it came out that the nurse taking care of the Kennish and Vasquez babies had been on duty for almost twice as long as she should have been. The Hospital was desperate to settle and both sets of parents agreed on the condition that the hospital change its policy regarding hours for the staff so fewer accidents would happen.
Kathryn was staring at the other couple, John was sure she hadn't taken her eyes off the little strawberry blonde child in the Latino woman's arms. My child. But Bay is my child too. Life likes to be complicated.
We get a nice settlement from the hospital not that Kat and I need it, but I think that Vasquez and Sorrento will benefit from this. He is a musician and she styles hair. Not that that is a bad thing but they don't make a ton of money. I know little Bay isn't really mine but I do want her to have a good life, even if I'm not going to be part of it.
It was decided that after the trial we should all get out birth child back. I might be fond little Bay but I want Daphne. I want my baby. It's going to be hard on Toby but I'm fairly certain that he will forget that we used to call the baby Bay. He is going to grow up with his little sister Daphne and that is that. It's not really our business how Bay is raised. Her parents seem like good people; I'm sure she'll be fine.
Regina POV
Almost three years after that trial to get my daughter back and tragedy decides it has left me alone for long enough. Angelo and I have been on the outs lately but we came together the instant we realized there was something wrong with Bay.
Yes, we call her Bay. I will always think of that little strawberry blonde baby we had in our house for six months. I think she was the cause of more fights Angelo and I had in that time than we had ever had before. I might be an alcoholic but I never cheated on him. Ever.
Our baby was Bay and right now she was sick and we were scared. I think it was the worst moment of my life when the doctor came out and told us there was a two in three chance she would be deaf. Oh god, how could this happen to us? We almost lost her when she was born, who could something like this happen to her now?
I looked over at Angelo. He looked the way I felt: lost. Adrift in an unfamiliar sea. Oh god. What were we going to do?
When Bay failed the hearing test Angelo and I began to work through our issues. It was his idea for me to go to AA. I didn't want to but he said that he didn't want Child Protective Services take Bay away. She gave me the strength to put down the bottle. I would be strong for my daughter.
Author's note: When I saw the dream sequence in the show I thought it would make a good fanfic but I could only find one, so I decided to write one of my own. This is my first fanfic so please be nice. Also I have no Beta so all mistakes are mine. I also hope that if anyone has an idea for this story they will be kind enough to share. Please review; I will turn into a giggling squeeling school girl if you do. Please
