AN: I don't own Bones because if I did Booth would have permanent custody of Parker. I've co-written this story with my high school friend called Victoria. She's never watched Bones so it is my job she gets all the characters right. This story is a What if... story and it is highly AU, Enjoy!
The rain pattered on the windows of the Jeffersonian, Booth and Brennan after catching the latest criminal where sharing a quiet cup of coffee. Brennan was nursing Booth's wounds, from a very violent criminal. A shadowy figure in a hoodie was hovering outside the Jeffersonian; she huffs and hesitantly opened the door. After making her way up the stairs with her dark hoodie making it look like shadows where gripping to her she almost silently knocks to alert Brennan and Booth. "Excuse me, I'm looking for Lance Sweets" The figure spoke in a soft tone with a touch of harshness that could cut someone like a knife. Fully alerted, Brennan explains that Sweets is busy and would be out soon asking the girl to sit down, but she stays standing her hoodie slips and you can see her eyes scanning the room. Brennan swore that they were Sweets eyes the same twinkling, energetic brown eyes, but the caution and anger was the most standout feature. The girl was tall she was wearing a simple black hoodie and ripped loose fitting jeans, finished off with converse sneakers, she walked with grace and you could tell she was stylish. She spotted Brennan looking and pulled her hoodie over her eyes. Sweets came out of a nearby room "Where's my coffee?" he asks, "Sweets there is someone here for you." The shadowy figure steps out removing her hood, "Stacey?!" Sweets gasps. "Hi, Dad" the girl says.
BRENNAN'S POV-
It all started earlier in the evening I was enjoying a cup of coffee and trying to nurse Booth after we solved yet another murder. When a knock came, Booth and I look over to see a girl and you could barely see her face but she seemed cautious, and at one point when her hood slipped off to reveal her eyes I could have sworn they were Sweets eyes, but the anger in her eyes told me she wasn't someone people want to get on the bad side of. When Sweets finished and came into the room, he seemed very surprised that the girl was here. The girl removed her hood and said "Hi Dad". I hope I heard that wrong. The girl was pretty, she had a beautiful face with dark eyes, cute little dimples, long shining black hair and lips as red as a rose. "Stacey I haven't seen you for a while" Sweets stammered. "You don't seem to like visiting us," Stacey said looking at the ground anger coming off her in ripples. "It's not that sweetie, your mother and I just don't get along very well." Sweets kneels down to give Stacey a hug but she pulls away and refuses to look at her dad. "No, mum says you abandoned us, and I know it was you who tore our family apart and now I have to come live with you" Sweets looked like he had been slapped. "Your mother and I agreed she would keep you" Sweets said shaking his head. "Mum knew you would say that she told them but they still took her away" I girl looked like she was going to cry but kept her cool. Sweets realised Booth and I were there, "Um… this is my daughter Stacey Michaels" Booth's mouth hung open. Though before we could ask questions Stacey was bustled out by her father. "Bye" he said poking his head around the door before disappearing.
SWEETS' POV-
"What do you mean that you have to come live with me?" I ask my daughter softly. I lay my hand on her shoulder but she shrugs it off. "…" silence follows. Stacey hadn't spoken a word to me since we left Jeffersonian. "Stacey please talk to me, I'm your father," I say more harshly this time. Stacey just sighs "Not much of a father you are. Suddenly you're so interested in my life. I haven't talked to you this much for months," she says irritably. I just sigh "Stacey it's not my fault that I haven't spoken with you and you shouldn't blame yourself either." I reply. Stacey just shrugs "I'm not blaming myself at all, it's all your fault." I probably resembled someone who had been slapped. I decide to drive the rest of the way in silence, I didn't fully understand my daughter's anger, she usually was overjoyed when sees me but this time it was different.
AN: Hope you enjoyed that. Chapter 2 will be up shorty and Victoria and I need to keep writing whenever we get time.
Please R&R
Have a great day!
