For those of you who do not like the story, I'm sorry and I realize that a lot of writers give Brennan a daughter. But I have bigger plans then just having Booth find out that he has a daughter. Trust me… the show itself wants to pull a fast one I can too…


Chapter 2

"So this is what you do now days?" Booth asked as they sat at the park watching Hannah play with the other kids. Brennan looked down at her feet for a moment then up at him.

"No, I work part time for the M.E Identifying decomposed bodies." She said squinting her eyes as the sun came down on her face. "But on my time off, I play mom" She added with a smile.

"You called me many times, but you never said anything… why?" He said, wishing to know why she had called but never spoken a word each time. She rubbed her hands together and let out a sigh.

"Sometimes I just needed to hear your voice. It was hard there for a while, working and trying to take care of Hannah." Brennan said looking over at Booth for a moment than back over at Hannah who was playing. "Then one not to long ago she asked why she didn't have a daddy. I told her that… that he was fighting bad people but one day he would come back to us…" She added on the verge of tears. Booth took her hand in his and squeezed it.

"Bones, promise you won't get mad at me for asking this of you…" Booth said quietly. She looked at him with confusion, but nodded her head in response.

"Angela told me I had to find you… she's called you and called you but you never answer your phone to her." Booth said, quickly. He added while he had the chance "She's very upset with the fact that you left like that."

Brennan closed her eyes for a moment and just breathed. She said not a word until she looked at him.

"I'm sorry… but if you're trying to get me to go back to D.C with you, than you're out of luck." She said. With that she stood up and called to Hannah.

"So that's it huh?" He called to her. She looked back at him, once again walking away from the man she loved.

"Mommy… isn't daddy coming wifh us?" Hannah asked, softly. Brennan just shock her head no in reply and kept walking.


"You just let her walk away from you again?!" Angela said, annoyed that he'd do that twice let alone once.

"What did you expect me to do? I can't force her to come back here. She has a life there now, Angela." Booth said, throwing his arms up in the air. Angela sat down and sighed.

"She is doing the very thing Rebecca wanted to do to you… keep your child from you. And legally I realize that Brennan can do that… That child is going to grow up with a father in her life. She needs you, Booth." Angela said with a shake of her head.

"She may need me, but she don't want me." Booth said turning a walking out of the office. Angela watched for a moment but than picked up her sketch book and going back to what she was doing before hand.


Brennan was looking over some remains when her assistant came in and informed her that someone was there to see her.

When she walked out and found it was Angela, she was now annoyed. She just wanted to be left alone; she let out a heavy sigh as she sat down next to Angela.

"I'm not moving back, Angela. I'm sorry… I just… I can't…" Brennan said softly. Angela looked at her with sad eyes.

"You do realize that your daughter is going to be without a father right?" Angela asked; eyes filled with sadness. Brennan was surprised by this and sighed.

"Angela, she's never been without a father. I'd never do that to my daughter" Brennan said, eyes filling with tears. Angela wiped away her own tears and gave Brennan a smile before hugging her.


Booth knocked on Brennan's door once more; he'd been standing there knocking at the door for almost 20 minutes. He hadn't realized that she was just getting home until he felt her eyes on him.

"What are you doing here?" She asked; when he turned to face her. She held Hannah's hand to keep the toddler from wondering off. Hannah looked at him shyly before looking away and hiding behind her mother's legs.

"I wanted to talk to you. Angela told me what you said about Hannah not being without a father" He said stepping to the side as she stepped toward the door to unlock it. Hannah clung to her leg the whole time.
