She wakes up to someone smacking their chubby hands against her cheeks. She opens her eyes, and finds a bright eyed little boy in her bed. She looks past him, at her alarm clock. She rubs her eyes, reaching past him, and flipping on the lamp.
"Momma! Up!"
"Isaac it is three o'clock in the morning. What are you doing up?" she questions, as she sits up.
"Up!" he repeats.
"How did you get in here?" she shakes her head, "What am I saying? I am sure that you crawled out of your crib again."
"Up!" he tells her.
She looks at the toddler who wears navy blue pajama's with little monsters on them. She kisses his cheek. "Isaac it isn't time to get up."
"Momma!"
"You need to go back to sleep. Come on, I'll take you back to bed," she reaches for him.
"No bed," he tells her, pouting, folding his arms across his chest.
She reaches out for him, again, "Come on."
He crawls over to her, and plants himself on her lap. He squeezes her tightly, and kisses her cheek. "Love you," he smiles.
"You want to stay in here, with mommy?"
"Peas," he begs.
"Ok, lay down, and go to sleep," she peels back her covers. He snuggles up, next to her. She flips off the light, and scoots under the covers with him.
Hours later she feels herself being nudged awake. Her eyes open, and she finds Daphne standing over her.
"What?"
"I just walked by, and happened to see a monkey in your bed," Daphne smiles.
Bay looks over, and sees Isaac jumping up, and down on the bed. His pajamas are in the bed, and he's wearing nothing more than a diaper. She shoots him a questioning look.
"What are you doing, son?"
He signs, jumping.
She rolls her eyes, "I guess that means it's time for me to get up."
"Kathryn said that you saw Ty at Maui, Kansas."
"Yeah," Bay confirms.
"You should go talk to him."
"And say what?"
"Tell him about Isaac."
"I don't even know how I would start that conversation," Bay admits.
"It doesn't matter, as longs as you tell him."
"Why don't you tell him for me?"
"Absolutely not."
"I have to go to work later. I'll be at work all day. When I'm finished I have to come home. He'll be cranky if I don't."
"So go now."
"How? I still have to get him dressed, and feed him."
"I'll do it."
"That isn't necessary."
"You have to tell Ty. He's home. You don't have a choice now. You don't have an excuse anymore."
"We haven't told anyone outside the Kennish compound," Bay points out.
"What about Emmett?"
"He doesn't count," Bay points out.
"Emmett?" Isaac signs silently.
"Thank you for bringing him up," Bay shakes her head.
"It's Sunday. I don't have to go anywhere today. Go tell Ty. I will watch Isaac."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
"You know he's going to want to go see Emmett now, right?"
"That's okay, I'll take him," Daphne agrees.
"You're sure," Bay nods.
"Yes!" Daphne replies, feeling irritated.
Daphne reaches out for Isaac. He leaps into her arms. She carries him out of the room, and into the nursery.
Daphne hits the doorbell. After a few seconds the door comes open. Melody stands in the doorway. Isaac rests on Daphne's hip.
"We're here to see Emmett," Daphne gesticulates.
"He's in the garage," Melody signs.
"Okay," Daphne responds, backing away from the door.
She goes around to the side of the house. She enters the garage through the side door. She closes it, and sets Isaac down. Emmett has his back turned to them, as he works on his bike. Daphne watches closely as Isaac runs towards him. The toddler attaches himself to Emmett's leg, like a tick it's host. Emmett looks down. He smiles at the little boy, and then looks over at Daphne.
"What are you doing here?" he questions.
"Someone wanted to come see you."
"Where is Bay?" he wonders.
"She had an errand to run."
"Oh."
He reaches down, and picks Isaac up. He places him on the seat of the bike. Isaac looks up at him.
"Ride?"
"No," Emmet signs.
"Please," Isaac signs back.
"Sorry buddy, you're still not big enough," Emmett explains slowly, so that the toddler has time to comprehend his signing.
"I big," he says.
Emmett reaches onto a shelf, behind the bike, and pulls out the measuring tape. He stands Isaac up on the seat of the bike.
"Let me see," he insists, as he pretends to measure, "Not quite," he shakes his head as he puts the measuring tape down.
Daphne eyes the little boy, as he stands on the seat of the bike. She touches Emmett's arm. He looks at her. "What?" he signs.
"Watch out, he's about to jump," she warns him.
He turns around to look at the little boy, just in time to catch him, as he leaps off the seat.
Ty finds Bay in the parking lot of Maui, Kansas. She is leaning against the hood of her car.
"You came," she remarks, in a surprised tone.
"You sent me a message telling you to meet you here."
"Right," she nods.
"What's up?"
"I need to talk to you."
"Okay," he agrees, "About what?"
"Something important."
"Okay, but Bay before you say anything I have something I need to say," he insists.
"Sure."
"I know that you're with Emmett..." he begins.
She cuts him off, "I was. We aren't together anymore."
"Good."
"Why is that good?"
"I missed you. I was hoping that maybe we could pick up where we left off."
"I don't know if that is possible. Ty my life has completely changed since you left."
"Okay, but that doesn't mean it isn't possible."
"It pretty much does," she admits.
"Why?"
"Because, I've already met the love of my life," she reveals.
