Brennan and Kate entered Brennan's apartment.

"Kate are you hungry baby?" Brennan asked.

The little girl nodded.

"What would you like to have for dinner?" Brennan asked.

Kate shrugged. No one had ever asked her that.

"How about some pasta?" Brennan asked and saw the little girl smile in reply.

Kate had been very hesitant in doing anything.

She was shocked when Brennan fed her the pasta. After dinner was done and dishes were cleaned Brennan said, "Kate I need to talk to you."

The instinctive reaction of the two year old was to run and hide behind a sofa. Brennan followed her.

"Was I bad Tempa-ens did you not wan me?" Kate said as she cried into her bunny.

Brennan's heart broke at the girl's misunderstanding.

"No baby girl. You have got it all wrong. You are a wonderful child." Brennan said.

Kate looked up at Brennan with hope in her eyes.

"Come here baby." Brennan said and pulled Kate in her lap. "I wanted to talk to you to tell you that I need you to trust me. I'm never ever going to hurt you. Or send you away. I need you to accept this as your home. You should be comfortable here baby. Can you do that? Can you try?"

Kate nodded.

"Good cause I plan to adopt you and make you my daughter." Brennan said nervously waiting for Kate's reaction.

The little girl thought about it and replied, "okay Tempa."
