AN: I don't own Bones but me and Victoria own Stacey and Stacey's mom. Victoria and I have been typing away during every lunch break and we have completed the first 5 chapters along with brainstorming some ideas during high school PE (sport) lessons. Any questions and suggestions you have for Victoria and I about the story feel free to leave them in a comment :) Enjoy!

STACEY'S POV-

I walk into Sweets' Apartment, it was fashioned nicely I had been here once before I knew where the spare bedroom was. I drudge over to it ignoring my father; he didn't care about my mother or me. He didn't care at all, I felt tears sting my eyes, I can't believe I used to love my dad he hurt mom and me. He doesn't deserve respect, "Stacey!" he calls but I don't turn back. I lie on the bed; the mattress was surprisingly soft. Who has soft beds in a guest room? No one uses them. I lie there letting my tears stream out, letting the memories fill my head.

*Sobs* they fill the room. I cry into my pillow. I manage to get up. I clean my face and stumble out into the hall searching for my mom. She was sitting in our tiny kitchen sobbing on a rickety old chair. "Mom, what's going on?" I say, "Nothing, nothing go to bed it's late!" The way she yelled at me scared me. I was anxious about what was going on. I watch my mother; she shuffles to the drawers and brings out some pills. She quickly gulps them down. "Go to bed now." I had never seen my Mom so unstable. She was shaking and sobbing. I run off to my bedroom fear filling my every footstep.

"Stacey, Stacey can I come in?" I want to go to sleep but my father sounded sad and downhearted. I could hear his footsteps leaving the hall. I jump up and open my door "Dad. What's wrong?" I ask. My dad smiles ever so slightly, "Do you want to come in?" I suggest. He just sighs "If you wouldn't mind." he replies as he sits on the end of my bed and sighs. "Stacey I know you are upset that you aren't living with your mom anymore. She was one of the nicest people I have ever known" Dad sighs "Not lately" I mumble but I don't think my dad heard it. "If you want to tell me what happened don't hesitate" he asks soothingly. I recoil I was started to warm up to my dad but he wouldn't understand. "Dad if you think so greatly of mom why did you leave us?" I wanted to know about this for ages. "Well it's late, you should get to sleep."

BRENNAN'S POV-

After being hit with the huge surprise of Sweets' child, I had picked up my stepson with Booth. Christine was in her child seat play with some finger puppets that thoughtful Parker had gotten for her. "Dad, why are you picking me up I thought that mom was picking me up." Parker asked. Before Booth could answer Parker set his eyes on little Christine and me, "Christine, Bones how are you I'm so excited that you guys picked me up it's going to be awesome". "Hi Parker." I reply as I cover my phone and give my stepson a soft peck on his forehead. "Booth honey I know you wanted to spend some time with Parker but we have a body find on our hands." I tell Booth. "Okay we will drop the kids off at Sweets house I am sure he won't mind." Booth replies "What about his little problem." I say simply. "I'll ring him," says Booth as he walks slightly to the side to talk.

BOOTH'S POV-

Luckily Sweets didn't mind looking after the children. Unfortunately Parker was going through an independent stage and believed he could look after himself. "No, Parker." I try to reason with him but he wouldn't listen. "Fine but I am just watching Modern Family the whole time." Parker grumbles. We finally got through the traffic and Bones giving a speech on why you shouldn't watch Modern Family. Poor Parker, poor all of us the traffic made her speech stretch even longer. When we got to Sweets' apartment I had never been gladder. We all went up, Sweets was sitting on the couch looking downhearted, "What's wrong Sweets?" I ask. "I'm just finding it hard to get through to Stacey, she seems very angry and upset. She having a nap right now she is tired from her trip here." Sweets sighs. "What's wrong Uncle Sweets?" sweet Christine asks. "Nothing it will be nice to spend some time with sweet children." Sweets smiles. "Maybe you shouldn't have taken up the offer to look after the kids Parkers in a mood about his independence. We must go, Sweets I want to talk to you when we get back."

I have a dress up party tomorrow and I am sure to turn heads with my Temperance Brennan costume. Please leave a review to share ideas and suggestions.
