a/n: hey guys! So this is going to be a zach/oc story I know it's been done before but I want to take a spin on it. I will update whenever I can and I hope you enjoy! Italics are flashbacks. St during season 2.

Summary: (slightly au) hogdins' niece comes to work at the Jeffersonian and catches a certain socially inept scientists eye.

Disclaimer I don't own bones. If I did Naomi would've been gormogon's helper and daisy would've gotten shot!

flashback

"uncle bugs!" I heard lily say

"hi lily! Where's your mom and dad?" I asked looking for Gary and Melissa.

"right here jack!" said Melissa

"jack we need to talk to you about something…" Gary.

"ok. Hey lils why don't you go look at the butterflies outside I'll be there in a minute"

"ok uncle bugs!"

"what is it?" I asked Gary and Melissa.

"jack we're both very sick from the work we've been doing with chemicals we probably don't have that long left when we do die we are sending lily to my sister in ohio."

I stared at them with complete shock. "but she can stay with me I'll take care of her you know she loves it here!"

"we're sorry jack but we can't. you are still in college it be to hard on her. she's leaving tomorrow we'll be by to pick her up make sure she knows you love her. Goodbye jack"

I couldn't believe this.

"uncle bugs you 'kay?"

"ya lils I'm fine"

Present

"hey hodgins. I hear we're getting a new addition today! Are you excited? I am"

"ya ange I just wish dr.b would tell me who it was"

"don't worry she hasn't told anybody. But it is kind of odd"

" ya. I wonder whe-"

"everybody up to the lounge our new squint is here!" me and ange heard cam say.

"after you"

*pagebreak*zacharoni*pagebreak*

"okay everybody time to meet our new addition!" said cam

"let's just meet her already" me, dr.b, ange, and booth all sad at the same time.

"okay. Okay here she is!"

A woman around 24 came out from behind cam. She was about 5'5 had long brown/red hair and soft features. She looked just like my niece lily. It was lily.

"everybody this i-"

"-s lily hodgins" I finished for cam.

"uncle bugs?"

"ya lils it's me uncle bugs" I said I then immediately got crushed in a hug

" I thought I'd never see you again" "same here lils"

"ummm not to interrupt but how do you guys know each other?" asked cam a chorus of ya was heard around the room.

"everybody this is my niece. Lily hodgins"

"but hodgins you said you had no family. At all" said zach.

"ya well lily moved away when she was young so… I hadn't seen her had to expect the worst"

"well bugs are you going to introduce the nice people to me or what?"

"oh um, sorry uh th-"

"hi I'm cam, nice to meet you" "hi I'm angela, you are going to have so much fun here" "I'm booth and this is brennan" "and this is zach" said hodgins for zach
