The Beauty of Hands

Chapter Four: Dancing to the Beat of Your Heart

Bay removed the last curler from her hair. She gave her head a quick spritz of hairspray, making sure every curl wouldn't fall. She looked at her reflection in the mirror, double checking everything was perfect. She clasped a heart shaped necklace around her neck, added some matching earrings and she was set.

"Daphne's here!" Bay heard her mother call from downstairs. Moment later Daphne came into Bay's room, her hair pinned into an elegant updo and she wore the necklace Bay had given to her.

"Did Regina do your hair?" Bay asked, it looked amazing.

Daphne glowed as she smiled. "Yep, I hope it isn't too formal."

Bay shook her head, "Not at all."

Daphne let out a sigh of relief. "You ready?"

"Yeah. Let me just slip on my shoes and grab my purse."

Once Bay glanced at herself a dozen times more, she was ready. The two young ladies walked downstairs where their dates were waiting.

Liam smiled when he saw Daphne and Emmett couldn't help but stare when he made eye

contact with Bay.

"Let's get some pictures," Kathryn demanded pulling out her camera from her back pocket.

"Mom," Bay sighed, "Can't we go just one day without you taking pictures?"

"Hush," Kathryn shushed, "Everyone on three!"She held up one finger, then two, then finally three before she took a picture. She glanced at the camera screen and gushed,

"You guys look amazing!"

"Thanks," Daphne said as she smiled.

"We should get going," Bay instructed.

'What about the corsage?' Emmett asked with a smirk.

'You got me a corsage?' Bay looked up at Emmett, blushing.

"I got one for you too," Liam said.

"You didn't have to," Daphne said honestly, although glad she wasn't left out.

Liam pulled out a corsage with light blue roses dusted with sparkles. "I hope it matches," he said as he brought it closer to Daphne's dress, examining the closeness in color.

"It's perfect."

'Yours is perfect too,' Emmett signed while having a cocky smile upon his face. He removed the flowered wristband from it's clear box. Emmett slid the silver wrist banded corsage onto Bay's wrist. The silver matched the diamond clustered detailing that was on her dress. The flowers were a group of three dark purple hydrangeas.

'Wow.' Bay stared at her wrist for a few seconds, 'It's beautiful.' Bay got on her tiptoes to

give Emmett a sweet, thankful kiss on the lips, "Thank you."

'You're welcome.'

"We should get going," Daphne said just glancing at the clock that hung next to the front door.

"Yeah we should," Bay agreed.

"Be safe, be home by curfew!" Kathryn called as she watched the group of teens exit the house.

"Oh my gosh," Daphne and Bay said simultaneously as they looked at the small black stretch limo parked in the street.

'What is this?' Bay signed to Emmett as Daphne asked the same question to Liam.

'Liam and I split the cost. Besides we didn't want to arrive in Liam's mom's soccer mom van.'

"You sure know how to surprise a girl, don't cha?" Bay smiled widely.

'I like to see you happy,' Emmett said truthfully.

'I'm always happy when I'm with you.' Bay stated. At that moment Emmett swung his arm around her shoulder and walked with Liam and Daphne to the limo.

"This is so cool! " Bay said as she slid into the limo noticing the giant TV in the back and the mini fridge with an assortment of sodas and sparkling cider. She saw the plastic champagne glasses and passed them out to everyone in the car as the driver pulled out of her parents driveway and started toward the school.

"I agree very much," Daphne smiled, looking directly at her date.

Bay smiled and poured sparkling cider into everyone's glasses. "To the best night ever," she toasted.

At that moment Daphne and Emmett shared a knowing smile.

'To us,' Emmett signed with a smile and clinked their glasses.

"I have no idea what you just said," Bay smiled, "but whatever it was I'm sure it was incredibly sweet."

Without warning she felt his lips on hers.

Emmett just couldn't take it anymore. She was so happy and she looked so beautiful. He just had to kiss her again!

Daphne blushed and looked at Liam. "Sorry, they think they're in love or something," she

told him quietly.

"That's okay," Liam said with a little smirk. "I'm just glad I get to have you all to myself."

Daphne smiled widely. She looked over at Bay and Emmett, whose lips were still locked.

"Mmhh," she cleared her throat.

Bay pulled away and Emmett just looked at her puzzled, 'What's wrong?'

'Daphne,' Bay simply said.

Emmett looked at Daphne and gave her an embarrassed smile.

"Anyone want more cider?" Liam offered, taking the bottle and pouring more into his cup.

"It doesn't have the same effect as the real stuff," Bay joked. "But sure, hit me!"

'Me too,' Emmett signed.

Liam poured more into Daphne's cup, and then Bay's before closes the bottle.

"Emmett wanted some," Bay said.

"Oh sorry dude, still not use to signing," Liam said honestly.

'It's cool.' Emmett understood.

"He says it's cool," Daphne interpreted.

"Speaking of sign, check this out..." Liam stuck his pointer and middle finger out and moved them in swaying motion downwards above the palm of his other hand. It looked as if his fingers were legs. 'Dance!' he signed and said at the same time.

"You learned a new sign!" Daphne clapped her hands together, happy to see Liam communicating in sign language.

"The power of YouTube!" Liam joked. "Was it correct?"

Daphne nodded and Emmett did the sign for dance too.

"I can't wait to..." Bay said, 'Dance!'

Daphne laughed. "Me either!"

"But I just have one question," Bay looked at Daphne. "How does a deaf dance work?" she asked just as the car came to a slow stop in front of the school.

The group looked around at one another as excitement crept over all of them.

"I guess you'll just have to wait and see!" Daphne told Bay with a smile.

"I can't believe this is actually happening," Bay said excited.

'Believe it, beautiful,' Emmett signed.

Bay lit up. "I caught beautiful."

Daphne rolled her eyes playfully. "He said for you to believe it."

"And then he called me beautiful?" Bay asked.

Daphne nodded.

The door to the limo opened and the driver helped the ladies out of the back. The boys got out and took the arms of their dates and lead them down the red carpet and into the school.

Once they entered the school they were in utter awe. The room was lit with star shaped candles at every table.

"Look at the lights!" Liam pointed to the strobe lights flashes across the room.

"Lets get our pictures taken!" Daphne suggested excitedly once she spotted a

photographer waiting in front of a Paris backdrop.

"Oh la la!" Bay said in her best French accent. 'Do you want to?'

'Sure,' Emmett agreed.

Just as Bay and Emmett were about to follow Liam and Daphne, Emmett felt a tap on his shoulder.

It was a tall, built, jock looking guy, 'Emmett!' The kid shook hands with Emmett. 'So who is this?'

'Bay, my girlfriend,' Emmett introduced.

Bay only could read her name as Emmett signed, she was kind of lost.

'Hey I'm Kevin, you better be good to my man, Emmett,' Kevin signed, rather fast so Bay was now surely confused.

'She isn't fluent with sign, she isn't deaf,' Emmett explained politely, not wanting to come off insulting.

'Oh.' Kevin was taken back for a second but recovered and just smiled at Bay, who smiled in return.

'We were just going to get our picture taken, I'll see you around.' Emmett took hold of Bay's hand and walked away. 'Sorry.'

'For what?' Bay wondered.

'I feel when I sign...it's like I'm leaving you out.'

"You're leaving? Why? What that did that kid say?" Bay asked worriedly, not catching the whole thing Emmett signed.

'No, no, no. Leaving. You. Out.'

"You aren't leaving me out. I just have to learn more sign language," Bay said trying to make

Emmett feel better. She noticed he was staring down at his feet when she finished speaking. 'What's wrong?'

'I've been taking a speech class,' Emmett admitted.

"Class?"

Emmett tries to sign the word for speech but Bay didn't understand.

Bay spotted Daphne coming back with Liam from taking pictures, "Daphne, what does this..." Bay mimicked Emmett's hand motions, "...mean?"

"He said speech," Daphne explained a tad confused to what they could be talking about.

"I'm going to introduce Liam to my friends," Daphne said and signed.

"Okay." Bay waited until Daphne and Liam had left before talking to Emmett again,

'You're taking a speech class?'

'Yeah,' Emmett nodded. 'So I can communicate with you better.'

"But I'm learning sign language."

'I feel bad that you have to learn a whole new language in order to talk with me.'

"You feel bad?" Bay said with sadness in her voice, "You do what you want, don't do it for me."

'I'm doing it for us.' Emmett covered his hand over hers and squeezed it lightly. 'Come on let's dance.' He then led her to the dance floor where they began to dance. It was a slow song, so it was a bit hard to feel the vibrations, but Emmett managed.

He pulled Bay close to him and rested his hands on her waist, as they swayed left to right. Bay looked up at Emmett and flashed a smile before bringing her arms up to his head and resting them around his neck. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him lightly.

Emmett removed his hand from Bay's waist to sign. 'What was that for?'

"For being you," Bay smiled and kissed him again.

Emmett smiled and kept moving to an excellent rhythm to the music. "You're a wonderful dancer," Bay said slowly with a smile.

Emmett put his hand to his mouth and brought it forward, 'Thank you.'

"You're welcome," she said as she laid her head on his shoulder and they swayed to the song.

They seemed to have stayed that way for a long time, feeling nothing but the beat of the music along with each other's breathing. They felt completely and totally at peace. There were fast songs and slow ones and even a couple group dances.

Soon Emmett pulled away and smiled at his girlfriend.

"What is it?" Bay asked.

'Wanna go for a walk?' he signed.

"Go where?" Bay looked confused.

'I want to show you something.' He took hold of Bay's hand and led her out of the dance.

"Where are we going?" Bay said aloud, although it was pointless because Emmett wasn't looking at her.

They made their way behind the building, to the school's green house. Emmett opened the large glass doors of the green house and stepped in before he pulled Bay in and shut the door.

'What are we doing?' Bay asked.

'Look!' Emmett pointed in front of them.

Bay turned her attention to what was in front of her. It was a small table, set for two, lit by candles. "Is this for us?"

Emmett nodded and smiled, 'For us.'

"How'd you do-"

'No questions, let's just eat.' Emmett led Bay to the table and pulled her chair out for her before he took his own seat. He then removed the silver lids from their platters.

"Pizza?" Bay cocked her head to the side and giggled.

'No one deliveries Spaghetti,' Emmett signed.

'I love it. Thank you,' Bay signed happily, "So what about Liam and Daphne? Won't they worry?"

'Nah, they're probably dances like maniacs.'

Bay laughed, "I'm having a really great time."

'Me too.'

"I wish tonight didn't have to end." Bay said truthfully.

'Who says it has to?'

"What do you mean?"

'We have until tomorrow to return the limo. We could drive around.'

"I have a curfew." Bay said sadly. It wasn't like she hadn't broke curfew before, but never with Emmett. She didn't want to have to sneak around anymore,

Emmett was a very nice guy, she didn't want to be restricted from him.

'Maybe another time.'

'Definitely.' Bay smirked and picked up a slice of pizza. "Mm. This smells so good," she said.

'It is good,' Emmett signed.

"Good?" Bay asked a little confused. "So you like it too then?"

Emmett nodded and signed to her that it was from his favorite restaurant.

"That's so cool!" Bay said delighted to be sharing something so personal with him.

Emmett smirked at her, happy to be sharing it with her. 'If you like this you're going to love dessert!' he signed with confidence

"Dessert?" Bay grinned and mimicked his sign.

Emmett simply nodded. He smiled at her looking into her deep eyes, seemingly getting lost.

"What?" Bay wondered out loud.

'I was just thinking about how beautiful you are,' he signed but before Bay could even respond she looked up and saw Daphne and Liam walking over.

"There you guys are," Daphne said as she approached the couple, "We've been looking for you."

"Everything alright?" Bay wondered.

"Yeah. Liz and Megan said they were having a bonfire after the dance, they invited all four of us," Daphne signed and spoke at the same time.

'I think I'm going to pass. But you guys can go,' Emmett signed.

"Bay?" Daphne asked curiously, "You wanna come along?"

"No, but thanks. You guys have fun. I think I'm going to have Emmett take me home after this."

"Oh, okay." Daphne glanced at Emmett and Bay. She wondered what was going on between them. She knew about the kiss, but it seemed they were getting closer and closer. Were they an item? Could a hearing and non hearing relationship actually work? "I guess we'll have the driver pick you guys up once he drops us off?"

'Sounds like a plan.' Emmett smiled.

Daphne and Liam walked back into the dance, leaving Bay and Emmett alone again.

"How come you didn't want to go?" Bay asked.

'I don't want to spend my night at some bonfire with people I don't know...' Emmett stopped for a second, laid his hands on the table, and looked up to Bay. He stared into her rich brown eyes, "I want to...spend it...with you."

Author's Note 2: I know that Emmett didn't really speak those lines in the show, but I wanted to add my little twist and spin things to this. I hope you guys like. Also I just want to give you guys a heads up. I will be in Colorado for my sister's wedding on the 26th through the 29th, then afterwards I will be off to school. I'm not sure when I will be able to update, but I will try and get you something within the next two weeks. Well hope you liked the chapter.

Tell me what you think :)
