Bemmett

Bemmett is the het ship between Bay Kennish and Emmett Bledsoe from the Switched at Birth fandom.

Season 1
Emmett is Daphne's best friend, the girl with whom Bay was switched at birth; when the two girls' families decide to live together, the two know each other when Emmett comes to pick up Daphne to take her to school. At the first meeting the two exchange a smile.

The first real contact between Bay and Emmett, however, occurs only after some time, when the boy helps the first to find information on his biological father (the other biological relatives of Bay, refuse to give her information). The two eventually discover the man's name: Angelo Sorrento, and they tie a lot during their search. Emmett continued to help Bay look for her father and even went as far as to go with her and Daphne to the night club where they thought he worked (it was a simple case of homonymy). Daphne becomes suspicious and asks her friend if something is happening between him and Bay; Emmett assures her that nothing is happening, but later goes to Bay's school, telling her that he likes and kisses her, leaving her speechless.

The next day is Bay going to Emmett's school to see him and asks if he's just using her to make Daphne jealous or if she really likes her, Emmett kisses her in response. In short, the relationship between the two becomes more serious, but when Daphne calls Emmett to come and take her because the car of the boy she came out with has jaws, Bay goes away angry and jealous, for the friendship between the two. Nevertheless, when Bay discovers that her biological mother had discovered some exchange years ago and had decided to do nothing, Bay rushes to Emmett in despair, and he does his best to comfort her. Bay reveals to Emmett that he does street art, and that her dream is to draw on a billboard so that everyone can see her art. Melody Emmett's mother accidentally discovers their relationship, and is not at all happy given that while Emmett is deaf, Bay is hearing. Melody is clearly convinced that Bay is unable to understand Emmett, and does not like it at all that her son decides to do speech therapy to better communicate with Bay (who is at the same time learning sign language). Later, Bay tries to paint a billboard, and Emmett to help her but they are not successful, and they are caught by a policeman. While running away from the police, Bay injured her hand and Emmett on his side. Melody notes that both were injured and interrogates Emmett, expressly showing that she doesn't like Bay. This is a blow to the girl, as Melody is also Regina's best friend, (Regina is Bay's mother biology). Bay gives Emmett a camera and he only accepts as long as Bay turns him into a model, so the two spend the day together. Emmett takes many pictures of Bay, a sign that he loves having many memories of her. For her birthday Bay receives a scarf from Emmett, which is nothing compared to the gift he made to Daphne, a signed poster of a film that both love very much. However at the end of the day Emmett tells Bay that this is a bandage, and after covering her eyes, he takes her to the billboard on the other night, on which he put a drawing made by the girl, where she sees that he has labeled the billboard for her with his art. Bay is ecstatic about the gift, and the two decide that the girl will tell Daphne about their relationship. However, when Bay returns home, Daphne tells her that she likes Emmett, and Bay doesn't say anything to her. Bay is clearly worried that Daphne might take Emmett away.

Later, Daphne accidentally discovers the relationship between Bay and Emmett, and she is not happy about it, ending up arguing with both of them. When Angelo, the biological father of Bay, tries to approach her, Emmett helps his girlfriend decide if she wants to meet him for less. Daphne and Emmett plan a fundraiser for their school and Daphne discovers that Emmett goes out with Bay seeing that he has plastered the walls of his room with photos of Bay. The girl is not at all happy, and she and Emmett fight. During the fundraiser, Emmett tries to clarify with her friend and she takes the opportunity to kiss him, but he breaks away and tells her he is with Bay. Although Bay never gets to know about the kiss, the two quarrel because of their difficulty communicating, but Emmett after talking to Toby (Bay's adopted brother), joins the girl at her school and tells her that it would be more easy if he found a deaf Bay ... but also that he doesn't want a deaf Bay, he wants her. In the last part of the speech Emmett does not use sign language, but speaks. It is the first time he does it in his life, and Bay knowing it is incredibly moved, so the two make peace.

Emmett plays drums, so he is invited by Toby and his friend Wilkie to join their band, for a music festival, and after an initial refusal he accepts. Bay gives him an accessory for his battery, and promises to reach him the next day, having a previous engagement with her biological parents. When she finds out that Daphne has joined the boys at the festival, she decides to leave even if it is night, fearing that the "sister" wants to steal the boy. Emmett is genuinely happy with the girl's arrival, but the two continue to have misunderstandings: Bay does not understand why Emmett does not want his help with hearing people and does not want to use his deafness as a defense. He explains that he always finds a way to get away, and doesn't want his hearing girlfriend to defend him ... using Daphne as an interpreter. Bay hates that sometimes they need Daphne to communicate and he replies that one day they won't need her anymore. They hug, lean against a rock and look at the stars in the sky, saying that since they are both angry with the world, it is more fun to be together.

Emmett is arrested for abusive posting and vandalism, for the billboard he painted for Bay. In the end he gets away with a five-thousand-dollar fine, but he is forced to sell the bike to pay. Bay tells Melody that Emmett painted the billboard for her, and that it's her fault, but that doesn't move the woman. Bay and Daphe also try to raise the money to pay the fine, but they fail. Bay is worried that this could ruin their relationship, but Emmett reassures her that she doesn't have it at all with her.

Emmet decides to stay with his father, (his parents are divorced), and Cameron Bledsoe and his new partner Olivia have a completely opposite attitude towards Bay, compared to Melody's: the first compliments her, and the second invites her to sleep with them whenever she wants. Even if she's a little embarrassed, Bay is very happy about it.

Kathryn (the adoptive mother of Bay) discovers that Emmett is in charge of making a family portrait for his photography course. Since Emmett's parents are divorced, Kathryn offers young Bledsoe to photograph her family for the photo shoot, despite Bay's protests. Unexpectedly, everything is fine, and Emmett and Kathryn also seem to get along. However things get worse soon when the woman, says to Emmett, who approves her relationship with Bay, because it helped the girl forget her relationship with Ty, an old friend of Emmett and Daphne. Emmett is shocked to learn that Bay and Ty were together, and Kathryn adds that Bay was heartbroken when Ty left her to join the army. It is hard for the boy to also find out that the two keep in touch by e-mail, and pretends to read them. Bay initially gets angry, but when she finds out that Ty sent her a picture of a decorated tank, with the girl with the ax, she's very embarrassed. Emmett is very hurt to learn that Bay did street art with Ty too, but is consoled when Bay tells him "I love you" for the first time.

Emmett struggles a lot with speech therapy, and Olivia offers him an unusual way to help him relax: drink whiskey. Bay, worried that her boyfriend may be infected by Olivia's lax attitude, confides in Melody, despite Emmett asking her to stay out of the legal battle for his custody.

Bay learns that a helicopter of her ex-boyfriend Ty's military unit crashed but the names of people killed in the crash are not released. Emmett gets jealous again but still tries to cheer up his girlfriend; he even seems toadmire Ty for his choice of enlisting, which he is not allowed as deaf, (it must be said that Emmett and Ty knew each other, before knowing Bay, and they seem to get along so his admiration must be sincere). Bay eventually discovers that Ty wasn't in the helicopter, and tells him she's dating Emmett.

Emmett's betrayal and first break
Bay finds herself in another difficult situation when Melody asks her to testify against Emmett's father so that she can get full custody of the boy. The situation gets even worse when Bay and Toby discover that Cameron's new girlfriend is a drug dealer. After talking to Bay, Cameron decides it's better for her son to be with Melody. But when Emmett finds out about his girlfriend's involvement, he gets very angry and the two have a hard fight. Still furious, Emmett by chance meets Simone, Toby's girlfriend who has just quarreled with him. The two get drunk and end up spending a night of passion together.

Emmett is tormented by guilt over what he did and goes to Bay's house to apologize for their argument. The two make peace, and Bay asks Daphne to help her find a birthday present for Emmett. The girls then decide to shoot a movie for the deaf on zombies, and Bay tries to rent the video equipment of his school, but discovers that Simone has already taken it and is forced to ask him to borrow it. The girl who like Emmett is prey to remorse accepts.
