Chapter 25: Forever broken

Bay didn't sleep one bit. She laid awake thinking of the day ahead of her. It was going to really suck and Bay couldn't help but to be afraid to see him. She tried to take comfort in the fact that he would not be able to see her but it didn't really help.

Emmett rolled over and wrapped his arm around her. She smiled and snuggled into him. They were at her house for the night. Usually her dad would make Emmett go home or Bay come home for the night but she begged her dad to let Emmett stay the night. After all Daphne was living with Noah.

Bay closed her eyes and prayed for sleep but in never came. She watched as her room got lighter and lighter. Finally eight came around. Bay went to get out of the bed but Emmett had tightened his grip when she tried to leave.

Bay smiled and turned toward him. His eyes were still closed but he had a smile on his face. She kissed the tip of his nose and he opened his eyes. She never got over how beautiful they were. They laid there just looking at each other for a minute. Bay again tried to get out of bed, and again Emmett stopped her.

"We have to get ready."Bay said. Emmett shrugged. He wasn't ready for her to brush her bed head. He loved seeing her first thing in the morning.

"I want a few more minutes." He said making Bay smile even bigger. She rolled her eyes but settled back into him. He was still warm from sleep.

A knock on her door made it official, they had to get up. "Come in." Bay said. She thought it would be her dad, but it turned out to be Regina. "I was asked to make sure you two where awake." She said. She stood a bit awkwardly in the door way. She and Bay had a lot to talk about. She left on a rough note and she was the only one behind on the whole Jason thing.

Emmett could tell that Regina wanted to talk to Bay. He gave Bay a kiss then left the room quickly. "I wanted to let you know that if I knew. If I had any idea about Jason I would have..." Regina was now sitting on the corner of Bay's bed.

"I know." Bay said cutting her off. "That's what everyone has said. And I would not have let you in. I didn't let anyone in."

Regina nodded. "I can not believe both you and Daphne are pregnant. I about died when I heard." She paused waiting for Bay to say something. When she didn't she went on. "So you and Emmett okay with this? Is he a little freaked?"

Bay laughed out loud. "He took it better then I did. He seems to be over joyed." Bay said with a smile. She loved that Emmett was happy. Regina smiled too. She supposed that it didn't surprise her. It sounded like the Emmett she knew.

Before Bay knew it breakfast was over and they were on the road. Bay watched out the window watching things pass by. She closed her eyes as everything Jason did to her came flying back. She never really forgot, but she had spent the last month trying to find peace with it and all this just cut her peace into pieces.

She sighed softly. She hugged herself as she thought of Jason's hands on her. It was as if she could feel him. She could smell the awful musk cologne he wore. She could feel his breath on her face. Bay closed her eyes trying to ride herself of the thoughts. She wanted to scream out loud for them to go away.

Emmett scooted over to her. Bay let him hold her. He kissed her forehead chasing Jason away. She breathed him in allowing his scent to over ride Jason's musk. She wanted to cry which only made her even more upset. Was this what this was going to be like? Was she always going to be so broken that Emmett will forever have to comfort her? Will she ever be well enough that her being with Emmett will have less and less sadness and more happiness? Will she ever be able to go to him and not need his comfort? This was not fair, not for Emmett. He deserved better.

Bay let a tear fall. She was so tired of crying and having Emmett wipe her tears away. Maybe it was best to let him go. Maybe they would put the baby up for adoption. Let him or her have parents who can give them everything. Bay took Emmett's hand. He smiled down at her and she smiled back. God she was such and idiot to think that this could work. He needed someone who could have a conversation without being so emotional. Someone who could take care of him back.

For now Bay let herself find comfort in his hold. She hid her face in his chest. She feel asleep like that. She could stay there forever but knew he deserved better.

Bay was lead into a little room that had a huge window. She held Emmett's hand while they told her that he and her dad would have to wait outside the little room. Only a cop could go in with her. Bay's heart raced and she wanted to throw a tantrum. But she was an adult and she needed to keep it together.

Bay felt empty as Emmett and her dad left the room. Before the door was shut she saw Emmett tell her that everything was going to be okay.

"Now you can see them but they can not see you." The cops said. It was the same one from last night. He gave her a smile. "You can take your time, and remember he has no idea that you are here. You ready?"

Bay nodded. "Yeah. As ready as I will ever be." Bay spotted him the moment he walked in. He was the forth guy to enter. He was pretty messed up which actually made Bay what to smile. He had a black eye and a swollen lip. He had a bandage on his nose. It looked broken. Yeah he was messed up but she had no doubt that it was him.

"Number four." Bay said as number four looked her direction. Bay could almost swear that he looked right at her as she spoke. Her legs tried giving out but she held herself steady.

"You sure?" The cop asked her. She didn't even wait for them to finish coming in. "Take one more look."

Bay did as he asked, but she already knew she was sure. She nodded. "I would know that face anywhere. Also I remember the freckle on his neck. I am positive that it is him." Bay said turning away. She didn't like how he seemed to be watching her.

The cop gave her the okay to leave and she did so as fast as she could. She felt like her legs wouldn't carry her but she made them move. She could feel her eyes burning with tears.

Emmett and John went to her. She was pale and looked like she was going to faint. They helped her out to the car. "We should get some food before we head back home."John said. Emmett agreed. He was glad that this process didn't take long. The longer Bay had to be here the worse it would be.

He watched her as John found a place to eat. She was avoiding contact with his eyes. He knew that she was hiding something from him. A feeling or a thought. Something told him that he was not going to like whatever it was.

They ate in silence. There really wasn't much to say. John kept giving Bay and Emmett suspicious looks. He felt like something was wrong between them. So once Bay head to the car after they were done John decided to ask. "Is Bay mad at you?"

Emmett looked toward Bay then back to John. "If she is we will know soon enough. It is Bay after all." Emmett said. They fallowed Bay out to the car. Emmett knew that something was wrong and he knew he would find out soon what it was.

Bay sat silently on Emmett's bed while he sat in his computer chair. He waited knowing that whatever was bothering her would soon be known. He tried to come up with possibilities but really couldn't find one that made any sense. He sighed. This was driving him nuts.

Bay often drove him nuts, but in a good way. She was just one of those people you can't help but love. At least in his opinion. Emmett smiled. Then again he supposed that his judgment was clouded with love. At least that's what some people would say. Either way Bay drove him nuts.

She turned to him and she looked sad. He knew that having to see Jason was hard on her but she didn't seem to want to be comforted. He tried once they got back to do so but she pushed away. "I think we should give the baby up for adoption."Bay said

Emmett sat there in shock. What the hell was she talking about? Had Daphne somehow convinced Bay that they could not raise a baby? His heart sank. Did she realize the baby could be deaf and doesn't want it? "What are you talking about?" He asked confused.

"I don't think we will work. I think the baby is better off with parents who are already married and older. People who know what they are doing."Bay said trying to convince herself just as much as him.

Emmett looked hurt. What the hell. Where was this coming from? Wait did she just say 'they wont work?' Emmett shook his head. This was not happening. He was not going to allow her to walk out of his life again. Why the hell wont they work? Emmett tried thinking of anything that could make Bay feel like they can't work but he couldn't think of anything. The past month as been wonderful.

Bay saw that he was going to fight with her so she went on. "Emmett it is not fair to you. I am broken. I don't know if I will ever be normal. I feel like all you ever do is comfort me and its not fair to you. You deserve someone who doesn't wake up screaming in the middle of the night. Someone who isn't scared that her ex is going to come kill you. So I am ending this."

It was Emmett's turn to feel bad. He had no idea that Bay woke in the night screaming. How could he? She was wrong though. She was not broken. She has been threw a lot and it was going to take longer then a month to even start healing. Bay started heading toward the door, but Emmett jumped up and blocked it.

"No. I will never let you walk out of my life again. Bay you are not broken. I want you. I want you for you, and if that means that I have to comfort you every day for the rest of my life then that is what I will do. I want you Bay. Only you. You will get better in time." Emmett took one of Bay's Hands and put it over his heart. "This only beats for you. For our child." Emmett waited for a response. He was relieved that this had nothing to do with the baby at all. She was just scared.

"Emmett I."Bay started. Emmett shook his head and kissed her gently. This made Bay feel light headed. She relaxed into the kiss. How was it that he was able to do this to her?

Emmett ended the kiss by pulling away. "I love you. So you are not going anywhere because that's not what I want. If you are trying to leave for me then its the wrong direction. I want you to stay. Forever." Bay smiled. She knew he was right. She hugged him and closed her eyes. Forever sounded good to her.

Bay wished that she could put the Jason thing behind her, but she knew she never could. She could feel it. He was probably on he way back to Italy by now. However Bay knew he was able to get away once how could she know that he wouldn't get away again? This scared her. She didn't want to be scared but she couldn't help it. She held tighter onto Emmett. Little did she know that Emmett to had these same thoughts and held tighter onto her. He stood by what he once said. If Jason ever comes near Bay he will kill him.
