Hey everyone! This is my first fanfiction story for "Bones", so go easy on me! This first chapter will be Christine telling her story of how she became Bones' daughter, and then I will continue this story starting with the Pilot, and continue from there. Enjoy the story! P.S. The people in this story are real, except that I changed their last names to protect their identity, except for the celebrities, I kept their last names. And yes, there is going to be real celebs in this story.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Bones characters, or any characters in this story because they are real people with protected identities, so the only one who I own is Christine Ton.
Oh yeah, and Christine, and her whole family, is Vietnamese, and her mom's side is Cantonese. As for the celebs, if you don't know them, look them up on Google after I tell you their last names.
"Hi, my name is Christine, and this is my story…"
"When I was born, I had good parents. Their names were Lisa and Sonny. They were nice and very kind, but they didn't have that much money, in fact, they could only afford to have 1 child. But we'll get into that fact later."
"You see I was born in Portland, Oregon, and I had a lot of cousins and aunts and uncles there, like my cousins Cathy and Amie Nguyen, but I also had lots of cousins and aunts and uncles in Los Angeles, California too. So every year my parents would scrap some extra money together so we can go visit my cousins and have a good time, but we rarely ever went to Disneyland."
"One year, my parents learned that my mom was pregnant again, and I was only 2. My parents couldn't bear to get an abortion, because they said that it would be like murdering their own child! So they asked all of my aunts and uncles to please raise me, but none of them could afford it right now either. So, they made the decision to put me up for adoption. They chose to put me up for adoption and not the baby because they wanted more time with their child, if given the choice, and my little sibling would stay with them 3 years longer than me because I'd be in college."
"Like I said, they weren't cruel, so they promised to take care of me until the baby was born. A few days before my 3rd birthday, we drove to California. When we arrived at my cousin Winnie's house, it was the day before my birthday, and my mom was also about 6 months along. My parents made reservations at a restaurant for my party, which was going to be small, very small. At the party, my parents left me alone for a moment to go dance, and I ran."
"I may had only been 3, but I was pretty smart, if I could say so myself. I knew what my parents were planning on doing, and I was scared so I ran. I didn't know where I was going, only that I wasn't going to be able to stay with my parents anyways, so why did it matter?"
"As I ran through the streets, I saw a lady, one who looked nice. So I went up to her and tugged on her dress. She looked down at me with surprise written on her face. 'Why hello there!' she said, crouching down to match my height. 'Who might you be?'
'My name is Christine, pwease to meet you.' I replied. 'What's your name?'
'Uh… my name is Julie.' She stammered back, surprised that I could speak so well for being as young as I was.
'That's a pretty name.' I commented.
That brought a smile to her face. 'Thank you, I've always liked it.'
'You're welcome.' I say, smiling back at her.
'Where are your parents darling? You shouldn't be walking around here all alone.' Julie says, concerned.
I shrugged, 'I don't know,' I said, 'at a restrant somewhere.'
'Restrant? Oh, you mean restaurant.' She says.
'That's what I said restrant.' I mutter, frowning, 'It's not my fauwt that my 2-year-owd body can't keep up with my who-knows-how-smart brain. I'm not bragging, I just wike to stat the facts, and it's a fact that I'm smarter than most 2-year-owds.'
Julie couldn't help it, she burst out laughing. It was just hilarious to see a little girl act like she was 16! 'I'm sorry, forgive me darling, I just couldn't help it.' She said, holding her stomach and wiping her eyes from the tears that had leaked out with a huge smile on her face."
I couldn't help but smile back, she looked so kind and happy with that sparkle in her eyes, not to mention pretty too. Plus I just love her slight British accent. 'It's okay.' I say.
'Thank you dear. Now can you tell me your last name? I must find your parents.' Julie says, giving me another smile."
"I hesitate, I knew that if she knew my last name, she wouldn't be just a kind stranger to me anymore, she'd be a person who could look me up and find me anywhere, and could possibly harm the people I know. Told you I was a smart kid. Then again, as I looked at Julie smiling at me, I couldn't help but feel the urge to trust her, and later on I will know never to doubt my gut, unless knowledge over weighs it by far.
But right now I didn't know that. 'What to do? What to do?' I thought. All the while Julie waited patiently for me to answer her, still smiling.
Finally, I came to a conclusion. I open my mouth to answer her question…"
So whatcha think? Should I continue?
