"Uncle Booth!"
Everyone turned to the direction of the loud voice they heard. They saw a young woman running towards the platform steps.
"Wait Lei. I gotta card you in!" Cam said.
"Leilani? Cam tell me this is not Lil' Lei." Booth said.
"Okay then I won't tell you." Cam said swiping the card.
Leilani ran up the steps and jumped on Booth and he laughed swinging her around.
She was a dark cocoa color with a head full of tight black curls. Her eyes were big and almond shaped and surprisingly bright blue.
"Yes it's me. Yah ain't think I was gonna stay ten forever did yah?" she said with a southern accent.
"No but wow you're what twenty-two now?"
"Yeah how bout you, two hundred and ten-twenty?" she said.
"Haha. Very funny."
"Yah know I'm just playing Seeley. Millie tells me you son now?"
"Yeah his name is Parker." He said showing her a picture on his phone.
"Oh he is a cutie pie!"
"Yeah."
"Booth why does she call you Uncle? You and Cam were in a relationship and you definitely are not brother and sister." Brennan said.
"Who's the killjoy?" Leilani asked.
"Leilani!"
"Mah bad professional environment, excuse me Boss Lady."
Cam rolled her eyes and chuckled.
"I'm Dr. Temperance Brennan."
"Oh so you're who gave Auntie such a hard time when she first came? Good job, I do it all the time." Leilani said winking at her.
"Leilani thought Cam and I were going to get married so she took it upon herself to call me Uncle."
"I was six years old and you guys ended up being together for five whole years. Don't blame me!"
"You guys were together five whole years?" angela asked.
"Yeah and then Seeley went to the military."
"So this is Felicia's daughter? Felicia is so young."
"Oh no this is my brother's daughter."
"You have a brother?" Hodgins asked.
Cam folded her arms and when Hodgins looked over Leilani was doing the same thing.
"He died when I was sixteen, I don't really talk about him."
"How old was he and what happened?" Brennan asked.
"Bones!"
"What Booth?"
"He was nineteen and he was murdered."
There was a sharp intake of breath. It came from Leilani. Her eyes were watering.
"Did they catch him?"
"No."
"Do ya'll always ask this many questions?" Leilani snapped.
"Sorry sweetie." Angela said.
The only person who had yet to say anything was Wendell. He was staring at Cam's niece. Hodgins couldn't blame him; Leilani was a little taller than Cam with a very curvy body, nice breasts and an even better backside.
The outfit she had on didn't help either. She was wearing a tight tank that showed just enough cleavage to leave men drooling but not enough to make her look like a whore and short very short jean shorts that left her curved legs bare. She paired it with converse shoes. Typical tomboy look and he imagined Cam probably dressed the same exact way. Her chocolate skin was flawless and had a sunkissed glow about it making it obvious she was from the south.
She furiously wiped the incoming tears away from her eyes and soon her face became completely impassive.
"You guys are so much alike it's scary." He said.
"Everyone says that. I'm sarcastic with a dark sense of humor and hard to open up. A tomboy who is street smart and book smart. But I'm a huge softie on the inside yah just gotta get me to trust yah enough so that I can open up. I know, I know."
"Wow you hit it dead on." Booth said.
"I'm just a whole lot cuter."
"Hey! I'm cute." Cam said with mock hurt on her face.
"Yeah but yah too skinny Millie. Yah need some meat on them bones of yours. In the south it's all about the thickums." Leilani said.
"Same thing I used to say. We need something to grab on." Booth said.
"That's not what you was saying while we was together so shut it. Okay so I wasn't blessed with your assets but mine are not that bad."
"Oh god no honey and you eat like the best of 'em and never gain weight. I ain't hatin'. You work it to your advantage. Like that tight ol' dress you're wearing right now. I bet you be making them boys over der' drool out they mouths like tourists at Mardi Gras." She said.
"So you're from Louisiana?" Wendell said finally finding his voice.
"Yessiree. Baton Rouge. I was wondering when you was gon' stop starin' at me and speak. I just knew you was gon' catch a fly in yah mouth or som'n." she said with a smirk.
"I-."
"'S alright sugah Ah know I'm cute. Not so bad yahself though I couldn't picture you here. You look more like the mechanic type. But hey don't judge a book right?" she said.
"Yeah." He said.
"So anyway Auntie You told me you're off tomorrow right?"
"Yes."
"You tryna party? If not we can stay at your place. I brought you a little som'n." Leilani said winking.
"From Etienne?"
"Yeah you know my boy always got yah back when it comes to this."
"Are you talking about drugs?" brennan asked.
"Uh no. We ain't inta that stuff. But I 'ont know how much ya'll know about Millie here so I was trying to keep it low key." She said.
"You can go ahead and tell them. Not like they'll ever see it anyway." Cam said with a smirk challenging everyone in the room it seemed.
"Okay so Millie has a weakness for cards, Cuban cigars, and beer. Oh and romance movies, those dumb sex books and a jasmine bath. Oh and strong men, thus Seeley, and Victoria secret thongs and hipsters and the fragrance love spell. Anything Michael Jackson. And Guns. She likes guns. A lot. oh and she hasn't been laid in two years since she and Seeley broke up." Leilani said her eyes lighting up mischievously at the last sentence.
"I cannot believe you just said that!" Cam said jumping on Leilani who squealed in laughter and ran off in which Cam kicked off her shoes and chased after her all the way out side. Everyone ran outside to see Cam chasing Leilani around the fountain. Her dress was on the ground and she was running around in a tank and hot pink boyshorts.
"I see that tight dress has some disadvantages too huh Millie!" Leilani yelled.
Cam caught up to her and grabbed her but Leilani twisted and Cam screamed as she fell back into the fountain.
She got up. "You are so dying right now."
"If you can catch up!" Leilani said and ran off into the building.
Cam got out grabbed her dress and walked dripping wet past a smirking Seeley.
"You're having way too much fun with this aren't you?" she asked.
"Yes. Now smile." Booth said lifting his phone. Before he got a chance to take the photo Cam spun and kicked his legs out from underneath him. He landed hard on his back.
"OoooH." Hodgins winced.
"You ever try to do that again, I will beat you to death with my bone saw!" she said pointing her finger at him and walking away.
"Hodgins wasn't sure what brought out this side of Cam, but he was beginning to like it.
