Introduction
Brennan has secrets enough of them to realise she should stay in DC instead of going to Maluku. When Booth is and her friends start disappearing will she cope?
Chapter .1.
Temperance sat at the airport in Atlanta. She had stopped and not got on her next flight. What was she doing? She was running because of all the pain in her past she was afraid to be happy. Only her adopted family knew about what actually happened in the system. She needed advice. She takes out her phone and dials her adoptive sister number.
"Isabella McCarty", a voice answers
"Isa I need help", Temperance says
"Ren! What do you need?" Isabella asks
"I need your professional help. I am running again", Temperance admits
"Why are you running?" Isabella asks
"I think it is because of my feelings. You all and not them know what happened to me", Temperance says
"They only don't know because you refuse to tell them. We have talked on this issue. Tell me do you really want to leave DC?" Isabella asks
"No I don't", Temperance admits, "But I don't know how to stop running"
"The first step is to admit you have a problem and then get back to DC", Isabella says
"What should I do when I get back to DC? I am not ready to deal with them", Temperance says
"Stay at Papa's. But I suggest you see someone like your Dr Sweets or me", Isabella says
"I would prefer you if I have to", Temperance says
"I think you have to Ren to find that long buried heart that is only open for certain people", Isabella says
"You know Isa I turned Booth down after what we did before he asked for a serious relationship? I freaked and he said he couldn't wait any longer Isa. But I need him to wait", Temperance says
"Maybe if you told him your whole story he would understand more. But can you blame him for wanting to move on Ren?" Isabella asks
"No I can't. But I need to find myself", Temperance says
"Then come back and get help. For once let us help you", Isabella says
"I will. Because I want to fix my problems. Let the family know I will be back in DC in a couple hours and to tell no one", Temperance says
"Promise. Now get home!" Isabella says
"Will do", Temperance says hanging up
Temperance catches the next plane back to DC and a limo was waiting for her. She quickly gets in.
"Ma'am", the driver says
"Wilson. Take me to the mansion please", Temperance says
"Will do Ma'am", the driver says
Temperance is silent on the drive thinking. Will she be able to fix her problems? Could she? For Booth for everyone she would try. They pull up at the gates to the mansion and the guards let them in. Temperance looked at the huge mansion that had finally had become her shelter from the Foster Care system.
"Ren", an old man says
"Papa", Temperance says going into his embrace and starts to cry
"It will be alright sweetheart. Lets go inside your Mamma is dying to see you", Jackson McCarty says
They walk inside a old woman greets Temperance.
"Temperance"
"Mamma I have made a huge mistake", Temperance says
"Of darling we will fix it. More importantly you will. My darling daughter you are a lot stronger and kind hearted then anyone but us know. So now we will help you share your past", Mary McCarty says
"Thanks. So is everyone here?" Temperance asks
"Most. Come they are in the living room", Mary says
Mary and Jackson McCarty were her adopted parents. They saved her from the Foster Care system. They save all their children. Unable to have any of their own. Jackson McCarty was a multibillionaire. Of the McCarty Corporation. He didn't floret his money. He used it to save kids and donate to charities and hospitals.
"Mummy", Christine Brennan says running up
"Hey Chrissy", Temperance says picking her up and hugging her
"Mummy", Elizabeth says hugging her mother's legs
"Hi Lizzie", Temperance says
"Mummy", Daniel says hugging his mother's leg
"Danny", Temperance says
Christine, Elizabeth and Daniel were her children from rape when she was in El Salvador 6 years ago.
"Mum", Riley Brennan says
"Mum", Lerida Brennan says
Riley and Lerida were 16 and born out of rape when she was 16. So she had 5 children and never told her team or more importantly Booth about them. Now he was thinking she had abandoned him. Which she hadn't she is scared.
Maybe it was time to think about telling the truth when they all come back in a year. She would have to talk it over with her family first. They would be supportive they have always been. But I have to talk to my kids first I need their opinion if I am going out in the open. I decide to talk to them later I am mentally exhausted so I put my kids to bed and head to bed myself dreaming of my team, family and especially Booth…
