It had been a good few weeks since Emmett and Bay had got back together, and the difference in both teenagers was unbelievable. Melody was no longer constantly worrying about her son and Regina & Kathryn were just pleased to see Bay happy again.

Emmett had been sneaking into Bay's garage most of the time though, obviously because an awkward encounter with Daphne was not what he wanted or needed. Amazingly he had avoided her at school which everybody had noticed; also it wasn't like Daphne wanted to talk to Emmett either.

Emmett waited for the text from Bay to let him know that it was alright to drive the bike up. When he did, he was met with Bay helping him get his helmet off. Emmett laughed softly as Bay's lips met his own as soon as his headgear was out of the way. Bay lightly pulled on Emmett's shirt to pull him into her garage. The two only broke the kiss for a moment to shut the door and pull Emmett's leather jacket off.

Things progressed a little quicker than Bay thought they would, not that she minded. With Bay on the counter and Emmett still kissing her whilst being shirtless, Bay's thoughts were a little too pre-occupied to notice the sound of a car pulling up in the drive way.

John sighed at the motorcycle parked in front of him, the boy had only been back in Bay's life a few weeks and the two were already inseparable. He didn't have anything against Emmett but he did find it challenging to bond with the boy who made one of his daughters happy and the other one not. John walked to the door of Bay's garage and opened it going straight in.

"Bay can you tell Emmett to move his-" John stopped speechless at the sight of his little girl in a make-out session with her boyfriend.

Bay gasped and pushed Emmett away slightly "DAD!" Bay yelled, a bright red blush spreading across her face. Emmett looked at Bay puzzled; he slowly turned to see a fuming John Kennish. Emmett immediately put some distance between himself and his girlfriend. He read John's lips perfectly. "Both of you. Kitchen Now!"

I'm sorry Bay signed as her dad's back was turned, Emmett smiled reassuringly before looking back at the table. Bay tapped his shoulder to indicate that her dad wanted their attention.

"Right. Well, I erm I think, err oh god okay so-"

Can you translate for me; I'm not sure what your dad is saying. Emmett signed to Bay.

"What did he just say?" John asked.

Bay ignored him. You sure you want to know what he's going to yell at you. Emmett nodded.

"He wants me to translate dad that's all" Bay said, wishing the ground would swallow her whole.

"What's going on?" said a voice from the kitchen doorway.

"Regina thank god you're here" John said as Regina walked in. "You two okay?" she asked and signed of Emmett's benefit. John didn't let them answer. "No, they are sure as hell not okay- they are in big trouble"

"Dad, it's not a big deal! We were just kissing" Bay said- signing every word too.

"This is what you're angry about, them kissing?" Regina asked.

John starred at Emmett hard "They were not JUST kissing" he said.

"Yes we were! Okay maybe if dad hadn't have walked in… we might have you know BUT it's our choice not yours" she said, Emmett followed her hands and blushed slightly- how did he get here he thought. Regina sat down, she signed privately to the pair so john would turn an even redder shade.

Are you two being safe? She asked the two teens.

We haven't done anything I swear Emmett signed to Regina.

Have you guys even talked about it? She asked them.

"What is going one? What are you saying to them?" john said, his face looking as if steam could burst from his ears.

Regina smiled softly. I think you two need to slow down, you're young and in love why rush? But if you want- talk about it and whatever you both decide make sure it's what you two want.

Emmett and bay shared a gaze briefly before looking back at Regina.

Emmett you should probably get home before John murders you and Bay I know for a fact you have homework- go on both of you.

The couple got up hastily and power-walked out of the kitchen to the drive- being careful to avoid any eye contact with John.

"Where are they going? I haven't finished talking to them!" john said to Regina as she got up sighing.

"Emmett is going home and bay is going to her room to work" she said simply.

"You are not going to punish them?" john said astounded.

"Emmett's not my child john or yours and anyway- so they want to have sex? They are full of hormones of course they do. As long as bay doesn't get pregnant or hurt then I'm fine with it. You have to let them make the choice john- you have to trust them"

"It's not Bay that I don't trust" he said crossing his arms.

"John- it's Emmett, I've known him since he was a little kid. Believe me, melody has had the sex talk so many times that kid could write a book." She replied smiling softly, john just looked uncomfortable. Regina sighed "He loves her John- we can't ask for anything more" she touched his shoulder sympathetically before leaving the kitchen rolling her eyes.

Next Day

Bay looked up at the boyfriend and smiled. She loved to sit and watch him study- she loved the little crease between his eyebrows when he was focusing and she wasn't afraid to admit it. Emmett didn't look away from his biology textbook.

She tapped his hand lightly so he would look up. She began to sign. "Do you want to talk about what happened yesterday...with my dad... And Regina asking us to talk about you know" she struggled to find the right signs, she decided against graphic hand gestures. "Doing IT" she signed instead. Emmett let out a sigh and closed his textbook.

I wasn't really expecting yesterday to happen- not just your dad... walking in but, us going that fast. I mean Regina's right we hadn't even discussed if we were ready for IT he replied. Emmett could tell bay was struggling a little to keep up, he smiled softly. I don't want to hurt you.

Bay smiled bashfully- she reached out and took his hand in hers, enter twinning their fingers.

She spoke slowly. "I don't know if I'm ready- it's just I want to be with you in every way possible and I want to show you but-" she stopped as Emmett shook his head. "What?" She asked

"I don't need you to show or prove to me how much you care. I know and we can wait" he said vocally. "I'm not sure I'm ready either" Bay was touched at his honesty and leant forward to kiss her boyfriend lightly on the lips. She stood up. You keep studying; I'll go get us some drinks she signed before leaving her studio to the kitchen.

Emmett continued to work with a smile on his face, he was glad they had talked it out because honestly he went home yesterday as if he had been given four months' worth of detentions although that would have been much better than the wrath of john kennish. A light had tapped the table which sent a vibration through the wood which made Emmett lift his head, he expected it to be bay with the drinks but instead of his beautiful brunette girlfriend- a pissed off Daphne stood.

What are you doing here? She asked.

Studying biology he replied crossing his arms.

Daphne scoffed- is that what you're calling it? If you're supposed to be studying you could be doing it at home she said.

Emmett stood up- I needed a tutor and seeing as you're now not going to do it and bay is a straight A student AND my helpful girlfriend it makes sense to study here- So sorry if you have a problem with it.

Do you know how much of a jerk you sound right now- do you see what she's turning you into Emmett.

She's not turning me into anything except a better person Emmett signed getting annoyed.

You wouldn't have to change with me- Daphne pleaded a little moving forward.

I waited for you for eight years- you knew that yet you let me carry on loving you. So maybe bay and I haven't got the easiest relationship but the best ones are the ones you work for. We could never have that Daphne. Do the right thing for me please. Let me go- he said. Daphne stood speechless and still, she stared at Emmett as if he had just slapped her. Her eyes started to tear over but she never let them drop.

Fine. She signed.

Thank you. Emmett replied feeling a wash of guilt build up inside of him.

But when she breaks your heart don't come crying to me. She said as she walked out the door.

The guilt in Emmett was gone and he sat down slowly. In a matter of weeks, he had got back his girlfriend but lost his best friend in the world. Now he really did have to choose one or the other, but he had a feeling his heart had already chosen.
