Chapter 7
"Mom? Are you home?" yelled Bay.
"Mom isn't here. She took Daphne to the mall for some new clothes." Toby
answered instead.
"Where's Dad?"
"Golfing."
"Great." Bay grumbled.
"Something I can help you with, sis?"
"Thanks T, but I really need to talk to Mom and Dad."
"Regina's in the guest house. Maybe she can help. She is your real mom."
Regina had come home a few days after the switch reveal. No one knows where
she went and she never said. Daphne had been staying in the Kennish house
because she wanted nothing to do with Regina. She still felt betrayed and angry.
Daphne and Wilke had been spending a lot of time together recently. Kathryn
and John were glad she had someone to talk to. She really needed a friend.
Bay and Emmett had also been spending a lot of time together, hiding out in
her garage for hours at a time, but since they were dating, that was not
unusual.
Toby mostly just stayed to himself. Since he himself was not directly
affected by everything that had happened, he felt it better to stay out of the
way.
"No. Regina is the LAST person I want to talk to about this. Thanks anyway."
"Just trying to help, sis."
A few hours later, Kathryn and Daphne came home piled down with bags and
boxes of every shape and size.
"Jeez, mom! Buy out the store?" Bay said sarcastically.
"No, I left some stuff behind!" Kathryn answered, winking.
"Daphne, you okay? You look a little flushed." asked Bay.
Daphne just nodded and said, "I'm fine. Just tired from all the shopping."
At that moment, Emmett knocked on the door. "Can I come in?" he signed.
Kathryn smiled warmly at Emmett. "Of course! I told you before, you don't
have to knock."
"Sorry, habit!" Emmett signed, smirking slightly.
Bay ran up and wrapped her arms around him. "Hello, handsome! I missed you!"
"Missed you more!" he signed with a grin.
"Mom, can Emmett stay for dinner?"
"Of course, sweetheart! Emmett is always welcome."
"We are going out to my garage then. Emmett is helping with my latest
painting." Bay said, tossing Emmett a smile as she signed.
"Have fun kids…but not to much fun."
"Mom!" Bay said, rolling her eyes. Taking Emmett's hand, they practically ran
out the door.
"So, Daphne, how are things with you and Wilke going?"
Daphne's eyes widened slightly. "Um, fine. Great. He is coming over later to
hang out."
"That's nice dear. I'm glad you have such a good friend to rely on."
"Excuse me. I need to…" Daphne ran out of the room.
"That was weird." thought Kathryn. Both her girls had been acting secretive
lately.
Later that night at dinner, everyone was laughing and talking(or in Emmett's
case, signing).John was telling everyone this hysterical story that happened to
him on the golf course…
"So, I go to take the swing, and I am not kidding, the club flew right out of
my hand. George thought it would be funny to put oil on it. Of course, what he
wasn't expecting was the club to hit him in the legs after I lost it. He was
rolling on the ground crying for his mother!"
Daphne and Emmett are having a little trouble keeping up with John as he
still talks a little too fast once in awhile. Bay is signing what she can, but
she is laughing too hard to get every sign she needs.
After the laughter died down, Kathryn cleared her throat. "Excuse me, but I
need to say something."
Everyone turned to look at her. Bay and Emmett gave a quick glance to each
other before they also looked.
In Kathryn's hand was a familiar looking stick.
"I found this in the bathroom upstairs. Bay, is there something you want to
tell us, dear?" Kathryn asked.
Bay and Emmett looked at each other. Emmett nodded.
"Why do you think it's mine?" asked Bay.
"Well, you and Emmett have been together for awhile. I can assume you are
enjoying each other.."
"Okay, stop right there Mom. Emmett and I are not sleeping together."
"Dear, it's okay if you are. I just want to know. Don't feel like you have to
hide it."
"Great Mom! This is just the kind of conversation I want to have at the
dinner table with everyone listening."
"Sweetheart, I'm sorry."
"It's mine."
Everyone turned to look with shocked expressions. "Daphne!"
"It's mine." she repeats. "I'm the one who's pregnant."
John stands up angrily. "Who's the father?"
Daphne looks down at her plate. "Wilke."
By now the whole table was in an uproar. Everyone was talking at one.
"Wilke! I'm going to kill him" (John)
"OH, Daphne, how could you?(Regina)
"Daphne and Wilke as parents? Too weird."(Toby)
"Daphne and Wilke are having a baby?"(Bay and Emmett both signing at the same
time)
"I thought it was Bay. Why didn't I think of Daphne?"(Kathryn)
Finally, Daphne yells "ENOUGH!"
After everyone quiets down, she starts to explain.
"It happened the night we found out about the switch. After Bay ran out of
the room and everyone ran after her, I got ahold of Wilke. I needed to get away.
He came and picked me up. We started drinking and one thing led to another."
"Oh, sweetie, are you feeling okay?" asked Kathryn.
"Fine. Not too bad most of the time."
"One question Mom? Why did you think it was me?" asked Bay.
"I saw you come home that next morning. I knew you hadn't come home the night
before. I knew you were at Emmett's. It was a logical assumption."
"Nothing happened!" Both Bay and Emmett said and signed.
