Emmett's Mom From Switched At Birth Novels & Stories

After giving birth early, memories from a different life flooded into my mind. In these memories, the daughter I had worked so hard to bring into the world was switched with hers. After that, I was told that my daughter had a congenital heart condition. I worked hard to raise her for eighteen years. In the end, I sold off all my assets so that she could have a heart transplant. Meanwhile, I had collapsed from all my efforts to care for her. Left with no choice, I wanted to tell my “daughter” that I was leaving this world, but I overheard her talking with my best friend. “That fool still thinks I’m her daughter. I was the one who poisoned her! Mom, once she dies and you get rid of tha

He asked, "Emma, what happened? Please tell me. Why is this happening? Whatever it is, we can fix it if you just talk to me." A bitter laugh nearly escaped me. Even now, he clung to his act of innocence. So I looked him straight in the eyes and spoke slowly, making sure every word landed. "Fine. Then, tell me—how did my mother really die? And whose chest is her heart beating in now?" For the first time, true panic flickered across Ryan's face. He fumbled for words, unable to find a single excuse. Finally, he offered the weakest excuse imaginable. "I never wanted your mom to die. She practically raised me. Do you think I wanted that outcome?"

The tablet screen was lit, displaying her confession for the day: "Selena, Mommy went to every pharmacy and bought the best painkillers." "Mommy learned how to make your favorite strawberry cake." "Mommy got the softest pillows, the warmest blankets. Mommy will never make you wear a collar again." "My baby girl, please come back. Just tell me it hurts, and Mommy will save you. I promise." I floated beside her, watching her hopeful eyes. Watching her trembling hand reach out into the air. Watching her wait for a response that would never come.

" Emma told me as she rubbed my back. I got up and pulled her in for a hug then I kissed her on her forehead. I grabbed my key for my car. Emma opened the front door and we both left the house. On the way to my mother's house, I couldn't stop thinking about what Clarke said. I should have been there with mum but I wanted to be here with Emma. I had to come up with something that doesn't separate me from my mum or Emma. Emma may have seemed calm but I knew she was upset. I saw that her face looked a bit sad. I didn't want to be away from her.

“It’s the biggest mistake I ever made, as I said, I had no idea what he was like. She agreed, and he showed up, and it wasn’t the man I had known. Emmett was there, he was about four, our mum had married his dad, and he was away working.” “Emilia isn’t your mum?” I stare at him, unsure why he interrupted him. Maybe because I know what comes next and I don’t want to hear it, I don’t want him to relive it. Hell, I hate reliving my shit, so I don’t want to put that on him.

Emmett let out a sad chuckle. “I think your mother would like him. To be honest, your mother would probably comment on his looks a lot,” Emmett outright laughed. “She’d say, ‘That man cold melt ice cream during a snowstorm.’ That’s what she used to say about her favorite actors.” “Oh my God!” Emma laughed. “I remember that! Oh, I miss her so much.” “I miss her too, sweetheart. But we have this little princess right here,” he said bouncing Lizzie on his lap. “that she would love. The love we can’t give to your mother, we can give to Lizzie.”

Maybe if things can feel happy and simple for just long enough, we won’t completely crumble when the next wave of the Elites’ drama strikes. Emmett has been spending a lot of time with my family, and he has just enough money to keep his room at the motel for a little while longer. My mom knows something happened at his home that is making him come around so much, but explaining it requires so much backstory that I’m not ready to give her just yet. But sooner or later, he will have to figure something out for money. What little bit his mom left him won’t last much longer, and I hate her for putting him in that position. He never had time to think about what he might want to do with his life w

TESSA: [please send photos] TESSA: [i need visual entertainment] TESSA: [my life is just work, instant noodles, and true crime. you are the healthiest drama i have] “Healthy,” I mutter. “Sure.” Emmett finally shows up, three little bubbles appearing, disappearing, then popping up again like he’s typing while walking. EM: [you didn’t answer the main question] EM: [are things safe?]

“I can smell the poison.” “No!” I exclaimed, irritated with the healer. “How do you know it was Em’s parents who did it.” “Uh,” Noah stuttered a little and glanced in Weiland’s direction before going on. “We found the belongings of the dead in their apartment upstairs. Em’s not even their kid. Her mother came through here ten years ago.” My stomach flipped over and my knees wobbled. “Are you sure? You found evidence of this?” “Yes,” Noah said. “They killed her mother and decided to take Em. Her real name is Emma. Emma Hastings. I don’t know about the man, but his wife was called Gwendolyn Peterson. That’s the woman Emma called ma.”

Chapter 28 “Hi, Emmita.” Emma’s eyes flew open. In a single second, her world shrank into something unbearably small. “Ma… Mom…” The air thickened in the narrow hallway of the apartment. Almost reflexively, Emma brought her hands to her head and tore off the wig. The carelessly pinned hair beneath tumbled down in messy strands. “What are you doing here? How… how did you know where I live? How do you know my other name?”
