After they finish their Thai food Seeley slips out to go talk to Cam. He finds her in her office doing paperwork.
"Can I ask you a personal question?" he starts.
"Sure. What?"
"Why doesn't Luca look like Will?"
"Because genetics is a crapshoot," she answers.
"Why did Luca decide to leave her dad's?"
"She didn't decide to leave."
"So what?"
"He sent her to live with me."
"After fourteen years of raising her, he just decided to send her to live with you? Was she having problems in school or something?"
"No," she shakes her head.
Temperance finds Angela in her office staring very intensely at her computer screen.
"Ange what are you doing?"
"Nothing," she lies.
"Ange," Temperance says in an accusatory tone.
"I'm doing an experiment."
"You don't do experiments. You're not a scientist," Temperance reminds her.
"I've been thinking about Luca."
"Ange I think that you need to drop it. It isn't any of your business."
"Did Cam know Seeley fifteen years ago?"
"I don't know, probably why?"
"Her lips."
"What? Angela you're not making any sense."
"Luca's lips, tell me about them."
"Why?"
"Her top lip is pencil thin."
"What's your point? Lot's of people have thin upper lips, like Booth. His upper lip is..."
Angela cuts her off, "Exactly."
"Exactly, what?"
"I scanned the picture of all of us at last year's Christmas party. I put Cam and Booth side by side. I isolated certain features and morphed them together into an infant. I used a program to age the picture to that of a fourteen year old girl."
Temperance just stares at the screen.
"So why is she living with you now?"
"Will is married. He and his wife have two other girls. One is eight and one is three. The three year old has leukemia."
"So he doesn't have time to deal with a teenager?"
"No," she shakes her head.
"So what?"
"They were all tested, but none of them matched."
"So?"
"He had Luca tested."
"So?"
"Her DNA didn't match."
"Of course not, they're half siblings."
"No. The lab called him and asked for another sample because they thought they may have done something wrong. They collected another sample and came up with the same results. Luca doesn't have any DNA in common with the three year old."
"So the three year old isn't his?"
"No," she answers.
"I don't understand," he admits.
"This made him have Luca's DNA tested."
"And?"
"She's not his," she tells him with a lump in her throat.
"What do you mean she's not his?"
"She doesn't belong to him."
"Of course she does. Who else would she belong to?"
"I didn't know. If I had known I wouldn't have let him have her, but..."
"Camille who does she belong to?"
"It's not important," she lies.
"Camille who is her dad?"
"Not Will. I thought that he was, but I was wrong. When she was a baby I thought that she looked like me, and when she got older I started to wonder if I had made a mistake."
"What do you mean?"
"She doesn't look like him, at all."
"She's not his," he reiterates.
"I know."
"So whose is she?"
"I...when Luca was born they said that she was smaller than they had expected. That she was the size of a baby at thirty seven weeks gestation," she reveals.
"What are you saying? Cam after you broke up with him..."
She says nothing.
"The night you showed up at my doorstep crying..."
"Yeah," she nods.
"Camille is Luca mine?"
She looks away and says nothing.
"Camille..."
"Don't call me Camille," she responds.
"Does Luca belong to me?"
"I forgot."
"What?"
"I had so much to drink I completely forgot."
"Is she mine?"
"Angela," Temperance says calmly.
"Bren she looks just like him."
"Angela you're jumping to conclusions."
"I think I'm right on this one."
"Angela if it were Booth's kid he would take care of her."
"But what if he didn't know?"
"He knows about her."
"But what if he doesn't know that she's his?"
"Meaning?"
"What if for some reason or another Cam didn't tell him."
"He's an incredible father of course she would tell him."
"But what if she didn't?"
"Angela it doesn't matter. It's their business, not ours."
"We have to tell him."
"No. I'm not going to tell him that he has a kid with Cam when I don't know if it's true or not," she disagrees.
"He deserves to know if she's his."
"But it's not our place to tell him," Temperance reminds her.
"Camille answer the damn question. Is Luca my daughter?"
"Seeley I didn't... I truly thought that she belonged to Will."
"Why wouldn't you tell me? How long have you known?"
"I've had a suspicion that she didn't belong to him since she was three."
"Eleven years? You knew for eleven years and you didn't tell me?"
"I didn't know. I didn't remember that night, so I thought that she had to belong to him."
"When did you remember?"
"When he called me and told me that she didn't belong to him, he asked if I had sex with you while he and I were together."
"And what did you tell him?"
"That we didn't."
"But?"
"After I hung up I remembered that I had gone to your apartment one night and..."
"We have a daughter?"
"I don't know."
"Was there someone else?"
"No."
"So now what?"
"Do you want a DNA test?"
"I guess. Cam why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't know how. I didn't want you to think that I was keeping her from you."
"Why would I think that?"
"I don't know," she admits.
"What do I do?"
"I don't know. I could ask you the same. Seeley she hates my guts. She thinks that I abandoned her and she..."
"You sort of did."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You didn't want her. Do you have any idea what that does to a kid's psyche?"
"I did want her."
"You gave her away willingly."
"I was young, and selfish, and stupid, but I did want her. I wanted her more than anything, but I knew I couldn't take care of her. I could barely take care of myself. I couldn't give her anything. I wouldn't have been able to feed and clothe her. I wanted her."
"Have you ever told her that?"
"No why?"
"She'd probably understand."
"She wouldn't care."
"Cam she would. Her whole life all she's wanted is for you to love her."
"I do love her."
"How often do you tell her that? I don't think that she knows. I think she's convinced that you don't want her, or love her, that she's just a burden."
"Why would she think that?"
"Have you said or done anything to make her think otherwise?"
