Bones; Her story. (On hold)

Chapter twenty-two

It was now 5:54, the couple expected Mrs.Brock at 6:30, Piper on the other hand wasn't aware of the visit but that would soon change.

"Piper baby, come here." Brennan called from her position on the couch next to Booth, Piper was on the floor coloring in her 'Dora the Explorer' coloring book.

Piper stood up, dropping her purple crayon back on the floor, she trotted over to see why her mommy was wanting her.

"Baby, do you remember Mrs.Brock?" Pipers face turned from her usual happy smile into a obtained frown.

"NO MOMMY I DONT WANT TO GO BACK!" Piper, recognizing the name, fell to the side of the couch, tears already spilling from her face.

Brennan shot to Pipers side just as soon as the child had hit the floor.

"No no sweety! She is coming today so you can stay with me forever. I would never send you back." Piper wasn't looking up, Booth had been surprised at how bad Piper reacted to the name, but quickly was stunned out of shock seeing his girl friend come aside his soon to be daughter.

"Piper baby," booth slid slowly on the other side of his daughter. "You will never have to go back there, baby I promise. Look at me please."

Piper slowly looked up at her daddy, her loud cry had turned into faint sniffles.

"Really? I not have to go back ever?"

Booth gave a sad smile as his girlfriend wiped her eyes of the fresh tears.

"No, baby Mrs.Brock is coming so your mommy can file for adoption."

"What's adobshon?" Pipers misuse of the word brought a smile across both parents face.

"It's were I get to keep you for ever and ever, you want me to keep you for ever and ever right?" Brennan spoke up as her tears dried, she wasn't really good at explaining things to children.

She used a expression of some kind that she had hear Booth say to Parker when he had to stay with his mom longer than usual. Parker had only every other weekend with his dad which he completely adored.

Piper threw herself into her mommys arms. "Yes! For ever and ever and ever and ev-" she was lightly cut off by a knock on the door.

Brennan looked at Booth

"She's here."

Booth stood up, leaving the mother and soon to be daughter sitting in the floor up against the couch.

He approached the door and looked through the peep hole, a habit he had picked up from Brennan. He saw Mrs.Brock standing in the doorway with a yellow file with heaps of paper in it.

He opened the door and pulled a fake smile across his face.

"Hello, Mrs.Brock, nice day were having today, aye?"

The blonde smiled the familiar smile "why yes it is, is Dr.Brennan here?"

"Yes right this way. She is in the lounge room with Piper." booth lead the lady to the room Brennan was located at.

He opened the door to the room and smiled seeing Brennan had encouraged Piper back on the couch.

"Hey, bones, Mrs.Brock is here," he stepped out of the way so the bouncing blonde could prance in, Piper flentched, seeing the woman that once didn't give a crap about weather she ate or bathed all all, come into the room.

"Hello, Dr.Brennan, Piper, Shall we get started?"

Brennan wrapped her arm around Piper, reassuring the child why the women was here.

"Yes right this way, we can hold this meeting in the kitchen, I prefer a more professional setting than my lounge room. this is a serous matter and I want everything to turn out well."

Booth could tell she was nervous, he shot her a sympathetic smile. Brennan sent a slight nod, barley noticeable.

They lead the blonde into the kitchen. Booth being eager to find out how long this process was going to take started the first conversation.

"Let's get this started, aye?"
