Chapter 34: Joy and a hateful promise.

Bay examined herself in the mirror. She was huge. Both her a Daphne were approaching the end of their pregnancy's. Bay had her shirt lifted. She loved being pregnant. The whole thing has been a wonderful experience. She even loved her baby belly. However as she looked at her huge belly in the full length mirror that leaned against the wall in her and Emmett's room, she couldn't help but wonder how on earth her stomach could possibly shrink back. Bay sighed. She smiled at Emmett. She could see him in the mirror standing behind her.

"You look absolutely beautiful." He said going to her and planting a kiss softly on her lips like he was proving his point. Bay smiled at him as he pulled away. She wondered if he would always make her feel beautiful. "I have to get to work. I will see you tonight." He said giving her another kiss. Bay looked at him confused.

"I thought you had the day off?" She said. She remember him telling her this over dinner.

"John asked if I could come in for a few hours. I figured it wouldn't hurt." Again he kissed her. He said his goodbye's and was gone.

Bay sighed as she stood in the kitchen a few minutes later. She should have asked Emmett what he would want for dinner before he left. Bay smiled as she thought about last night. It was Sunday so he had worked an early shift at the car wash. When he got home at five he found Bay in the kitchen getting ready to cook. He made her sit with her feet up while he cooked. Bay tried to protest. He had been working all day and she didn't like it when he came home and cooked dinner. He gave her one of his 'I am not changing my mind looks'. He told her that she did school work and that it still counted. Bay rolled her eyes at him. She knew what he was really doing. At her last appointment with the OBGYN the doctor told her to try to take it easy. She told Bay to Keep her feet up when she could and not to lift things that are too heavy. They were coming into the last few weeks. So for the past week and a half Emmett had watched her like a hulk. If she stood for longer then twenty minutes he would insist that she sit. Bay sighed again. She would make it something easy.

She went to pull a couple hamburger patties from the freezer when the door bell rang. Bay smiled. She was still getting used to the doorbell controlling some of the lights so Emmett would know if someone was here. She had to admit that it was cool. Bay closed the freezer and went to the door. She took a quick glance threw the peep hole before opening the door. Emmett not only installed and alarm system, but there was four locks on the door. There was the normal lock then two dead bolt locks and one of those sliding lock things. There were also locks on every window along with bars. At first Bay had thought that he had gone overboard with it. It wasn't like they lived in a bad neighborhood, but she had to admit that it made her feel a lot safer when she was home alone, and she knew it made him feel better when he was out.

Bay saw Daphne standing there. Bay undid the locks to let her in. "Hey." Daphne said when Bay opened the door. "So I have something I want to show you. I was it on the way to Melody's earlier. It's really cool street art."

"Okay, Let me grab my shoes and keys." Bay said turning back into the house. In just minutes they were on their was toward Melody's house. Bay was actually a little surprised that Daphne was excited about street art. They were getting closer so she supposed that's why Daphne wanted to show Bay.

They arrived in an empty complex. From the car bay could see a piece of art, but she couldn't make it out from the angle. Bay got out and walked away from the car. She was a little confused that Daphne didn't fallow her. After a minute of walking the picture came into focus. It took up almost the entire side of the building. It had two hearts that were tied together by a ribbon and under that were the words marry me. Bay smiled. What a romantic way to asked someone to marry you. She walked toward it. She wasn't quit sure what it was made out of. As she got closer she realized that it was made out of pictures. A bunch of pictures. Once she got close enough to make them out her smile widened and her heart quickened. These were pictures of her. Every single picture had her or her and Emmett in them.

She turned when someone tapped her shoulder. Emmett got down on one knee and held up a ring. It was a simple silver band with a diamond on it. Simple yet beautiful. Her heart cough in her throat. He smiled at her. She felt a tear escape her eye. "Marry me."

Bay nodded. "Yes, yes absolutely yes!" Emmett stood taking Bay into his arms. He hadn't worried that she would say no, but that didn't change the way he felt when she said yes. He could tell by the way she was breathing that she was crying. He pulled away to see her face, and he liked what he saw. She was all smiles. Tears of joy. He took her face in his hands and kissed her.

Bay stood there over joyed. They looked into each others eyes neither of then saying a word. Bay didn't know what she would have said. She was going to marry Emmett and she was in love with the best person in her life.

Emmett watched Bay as she let this all sink in. He could imagine her walking down the isle wearing a white dress. The though made his heart race. It made his heart fuller then it already was. His life was turning out to be beautiful. He was going to have a beautiful wife and together they were going to raise their beautiful daughter. He smiled at Bay and rested his hand on her cheek. These were the best moments. The moments that didn't require speech of any kind. The silent words whispered around them like a beautiful song, and it was all because she said one magical word. Yes.

The next day Bay had to spread the news. She knew Daphne knew and was thankful that she didn't tell anyone. She found Kathryn and Regina out by the pool. It was getting warmer and they had decided to soak in the sun.

Bay went to them with a huge smile on her face. She couldn't hold in the happiness. How could she? Both Kathryn and Regina saw that Bay must have good news.

"Hey sweetheart, what up?" Kathryn said sitting up straight removing her sun glasses. Regina fallowed Kathryn's lead.

Bay smiled even bigger. "Emmett asked me to marry him!" Bay said practically bouncing where she stood.

Both Kathryn and Regina Gasped. They had identical smiles. Kathryn was the first to reach Bay. Hugging her tightly she said, "I am so happy for you two." When Kathryn pulled away she had a tear in her eye. She knew that Emmett was going to purpose. He had been planning it ever since Bay had come back from Italy. He had went to John and asked for Bay's hand in marriage. It was an old notion, but it was one John had respected. She knew he wasn't thrilled, but he couldn't refuse. Not only would Bay not like that,but he knew that Emmett was a good guy, and he knew Emmett truly loved Bay. Kathryn was surprised when John told her, and had been waiting ever since.

Regina hugged Bay as well. "I can't believe that both my babies are going to be moms and be married." She let out a laugh. There was just so much Regina wanted to say. She wanted to show Bay how proud she was of her and that she was so happy that she was happy. She wanted Bay to know that she had bloomed into a beautiful young woman. She just didn't know how to say it.

They all sat down and chatted over the proposal. They wanted details and Bay was more then happy to give them. Emmett truly was a romantic.

A couple weeks had gone by and both Bay and Emmett were still beaming over the proposal. Everything was going so well. They were getting married. Bay had finished her last class she needed to graduate yesterday. The baby was coming any day now. There were just so many things to be thankful for.

Bay woke. The clock told her that it was midnight. She had been feeling a little campy since she had went to bed at ten. Now it wasn't the cramping that woke her. She was sure she just peed herself. Bay went to move but the cramping had gotten worse as she slept.

She felt around for Emmett rubbing his arm when she found it to wake him. Now that she was more awake and less groggy she realized that she was probably in labor. Which meant that she did not pee herself. Her water broke.

Emmett stirred. He reached for the light turning it on momentarily blinding them both. "My water broke." Bay said the moment they could both see. It took a minute for Emmett to process what Bay had said. Once it hit him he jumped out of the bed. He went to the dresser grabbing clean clothes for Bay to change into. As she changed he went for the diaper bag that they had packed weeks ago.

Bay texted her mom letting them know that her water broke and they were on there way to the hospital. She got an okay back. Emmett helped Bay to the car. Once they were both in they looked over at each other. Emmett's face mirrored Bay's. Both looked excited and scared all at the same time. Emmett took Bay's hand. They sat in shocking realization. With in hours they will be responsible for a little girl. Her life would be in there hands. Emmett squeezed her hand. After they shared shaky smiles Emmett put the car in reverse taking the first step toward changing their lives forever.

He sat in his cell staring at the ceiling. He replayed the verdict over and over in his head. He was found guilty of his charges and had Seven to ten year depending on good behavior. The wench had got him locked up.

He shifted to his side. He was under major lock down due to his escape so there was no way he was going to be able to escape. A noise broke the silence. This happened often. Chances are roommates got into an argument, and now they were beating each other within inches of their lives. Jason mentally rolled his eyes. These people were so petty. One wrong word and they were at each others throats like they were animals in cages.

He laughed now. They were animals in cages. They had him locked up and treated him like scum. He hated them he hated HER. The memories of her made him feel like lava would burn him from the inside out. Her name was like a curse word. If it were to be thought of or spoken it would be with venom. The judges words echoed threw his head again. Seven to ten years.

He sat quietly as other inmates passed his cell fallowed by the CO's. He was discussed with his realization. They looked like a herd of kettle being rounded into cages. He threw himself off his bed and punched the wall. He cursed quietly as blood dripped from his knuckles.

"Seven to ten years," He said out loud. He would behave. He thought to himself. He would be the model citizen of this prison. He smiled to himself. They would think him a new person. He would use this time to plan. She will pay. She will regret the day she betrayed him. She will regret the day she left him. She was his and he will remind her of that. He settled back down on his bed. She will pay.
