Prologue:

"Bobby fucking Mercer."

Bobby, Jeremiah and Jack turned to see a tall young woman. The young woman put her sunglasses on her head and the three smiled.

"Saint," Bobby chuckled.

Bobby walked over to the youngest Mercer, the only female besides their Ma, and hugged her, lifting her up off the ground and spinning her around. When Bobby put her down, he stepped back to take a good look at her. She was wearing platform boots which made her about Jack's height, so Bobby guessed. He still held her hand so he saw the small tattoo on her wrist. She was wearing baggy skater pants and a tight black top, on top of that was a heavy, almost floor length, coat. Jack walked over and snatched her glasses, setting them on his own head before smiling at her. Saint punched Jack gently in the shoulder before putting an arm around his waist. The 'twins' were back together again. Irish Twins, so their Ma called them. Jeremiah just smiled at them all then escorted them in. When it came time for the eulogy, Saint went up with Jack, kissing his temple when he couldn't finish.

"I know I shouldn't curse at a time like this," Saint chuckled, "but Ma told me not to be anybody but myself. I remember when Ma got me when I was 12. The caseworker left me in the car," she chuckled when Jack mumbled that the caseworker was an asshole, "cheers, Jackie. Anyways, next thing I know a brick shit house of a teen comes out and gets me out, carries me in, despite my weak protest," she looked to Daniella and Amelia, "sorry, babies," the girls giggled behind their hands, "that brick was Bobby, as I found out later. Ma sent Angel and Jerry out to the car to get my stuff, while I was stuck on Bobby's lap with Jack latched on to my side," she snorted at the memory, "Ma was telling off the caseworker for how he talked about me and treated me. I never saw a flower child like her so damn angry in my life. Not even when Bobby broke a hockey stick over a kid's head that was beating on Jackie. I know you're wondering, just what did the caseworker say about me? He called me a freak of nature because of my eyes."

That's when people noticed her contrasted eyes, Daniella and Amelia heard saying 'cool' in the background.

"I left home at 18, telling Ma that I would find our birth families, or at least, any of them that wanted anything to do with us. I found out that Jackie has two elder biological brothers: one's a jar head like Angel named Jared and the other is an FBI Liason with the Jeffersonian named Seeley." Jack looked at Saint in confusion but she just pat his cheek and smiled that 'you'll see, baby boy' smile, "I found Jerry's birth ma and told her about him. She said she was proud to hear how he turned out, told me that she knew that [i]somebody[/i] could do better for him than she could, especially at her age at the time she had him. I found Angel's half sister, Angela, who actually works with Jack's brother, Seeley. So does Bobby's baby cousin, Zack."

She looked at the shock and awe on the brothers' faces, minus Angel, of course.

"I got a job in DC as an intern," Then she looked at Bobby, "Yes, Bobby, I do have a brain," then back at everyone else, pausing for a moment, before taking a deep breath and speaking again, this time sounding like the scared little girl she had been when she first came to Evelyn Mercer, "I was in the lab with Seeley and the crew when I got the call. I had my cell, was standing in the middle of the room. Everyone else was looking over some...bones...that had come in. I was told by the person who informed me that basically, 'Gee, sorry, your ma's dead, don't bother coming home...ever'. I dropped my phone and it shattered..." The phone shattering on the floor flashed through her mind, "the security guard in the lab looked at me, but he didn't really move. It wasn't until..." Her voice cracked.

Saint stopped when she felt Bobby's hand on her back, him whispering to her for her and Jack to go sit. Bobby said his piece then the funeral ended.

..............

AN: Sorry if the last piece seems a little anti-climactic, but the particular scene I cannibilized for this was a deleted scene from the Four Brothers dvd. I'm still a little iffy on the pairing. I can't decide who to pair Saint with, when I first thought of the story I intended to pair her with Jack. Non-biological incest, so AFF calls it.
