Anyway here is an update to my story I will tryand get another chapter up by the end of next week it I find the time. :)
The three sit in the break room. Booth watching as the two in front absorbs the information he has just provided them about their little girl.
Elsewhere in the lab day shift are starting there shift and some are going through an old case file trying to solve it. Trying to get their solve rate up so they don't look as hopeless as they feel, when compared to the grave shift team.
Several hours later back at Gil and Sara's townhouse.
Gil is in the shower when he breaks down in tears. He knew the chance of ever finding her alive was very slim, but as a parent you never give up the hope of one day finding them alive. She wasn't planned but he loved her from the moment Sara told him. He slides down to the shower floor hsi back rest ing against hte walla s he remembers back tothe day Sara told him about being pregnant.
********************Flash Back****************************************
Sara and Gil are sitting down relaxing in Sara's apartment in San Fran. He wraps his arms around her as they lay on the couch enjoying the time together. Sara sitting there wondering how to tell him, then her body takes over and before Gil knows what going on Sara is running to the bathroom and reaching over the toilet bowl, he comes up behind her and pulls her hair away from her face and gentle rubs her back, as she vomits again.
"Honey you ok?" she doesn't reply but does lean back into his chest, her stomach doing another flip flop and she is wondering if she will ever get to keep any food down or not.
"Honey do you want me to take you to the doctor?" he asks her and she shakes her head.
"Honey you're sick something that doesn't often happen to you, please let me take you to the doctor and get you checked over?"
"Gil I'm not sick and the doctor can't do anything for me anyway." She says to him as she mangers to stand and leans on the basin before grabbing her toothbrush and brushing her teeth.
"Honey how do you know that, we haven't even been to the doctor?"
"Because I know ok." She snaps at him. Calm down Sara he's worried for you, but how is he going to react to me telling him he's going to be a father? What will he do?
He stands there not sure what to do. He's worried this is not the first time she been sick since he got here, he doesn't think she knows he heard her earlier on today being sick.
"Sara, look at me please?" he so softly says to her. She turns and looks at him. "Honey I'm worried about you, throwing up is something you hardly ever do if at all. It takes a really bad decomb for you to even want to be sick. To go running off like you have done there has to be something wrong. I would like to take you to the doctor to find out what is wrong so I can nurse you back to health over the next few days while I am here." He says to her has his hand gentle rubs the side of her face, she leans in to his touch, closers her eyes and takes some depth breaths.
"I'm not sick. I'm pregnant." She quickly burps out to him, before turning around and looking down at her hands that are yet again resting on the hand basin.
He stands there repeating over and over in his head what she has just said to him.
"Did I hear you correctly Sara?" he says about five minutes later, she just nods her head. Fear running through her body about whether or not he is going to be happy about this or not.
"Gil there is a problem though?"
"What's that honey?' he says as he moves up behind her and wraps his arms around her pulling her flush against his chest, his hands sit on the lower part of her tummy.
"Um." she starts to say he hears a hint of fear in just that one word.
"Whatever it is you can tell me."
"It might be yours it might not be?" she says to him her voice cracking as she speaks. "When I went to see the doctor last week my dates put the conception down to around that week you came to my rescue." She says tears now running down her face.
"Honey its ok, if it is his then we will deal with it, it will never know."
"Gil I need to know, I don't want to carry his child not with the things he did to me, but also this is happening all so fast you helped me get away from him and now this. I go back in next week for them to do a chorionic villus sampling, they can do them earlier than amniocentesis, it also means if the results come back as not being yours, then I can get a termination." She says not giving any thought to how he might feel. He says nothing just holds her.
"Do you want me here when it all gets done?" he asks her a few minutes later.
"No thanks Gil I've taken up to much of your holiday time as it is."
"Sara you needed my help and I was the only one you could trust. I told you when I came and took you away that no matter what I would be there for you if you needed me."
"I know but I think I can handle this on my own, it's just that they need a sample of your DNA to match it to the sample they take from me."
"No problem we can get that sorted out for you."
"Thanks Gil." She says as she turns in his arms and buries her face into his chest, letting her tears fall down her face. I so hope this child isn't that bastards. I so hope it is mine. I'll do anything for her and for this baby. I love her. He thinks to himself.
************END OF FLASH BACK***************
The sound of smashing is heard and brings Gil out of his trance. He quickly gets out of the shower and wraps his robe around himself, as he goes in search of the source of the sound.
He finds his wife in the kitchen with a broken plate on the floor and her sobbing beside it, he walks up to her and gentle moves her away before, he wraps his arms right around her and brings her to him for comfort as they sit down on the couch in their living room.
"The bastard he said he'd never leave me alone always be haunting me if I even managered to get away and he is right. He took our child, our little girl and thing brings her here and has her under our nose, what for, for fun to show us he is better than us." She angrily says into his chest.
"Let it all out honey."
"Why couldn't he just understand that she wasn't his, why wasn't that piece of paper good enough for him to back off and leave us alone. When I get my hands on him he is going to pay for this." She says as her tears sub side and she drifts off to sleep curled up on Gil's lap.
Back at the hotel
Booth and Brennan, are catching up on a few hours' sleep, not use to working at night but both understanding that this is the hour that Sarah and her team work, and they only want to deal with them, since it is who Sara and Gil trust.
Bones you right over there?" Booth asks half groggy from his position on the bed.
"Yes just doing more observations on the x-rays Doc Robbins took. Do you know much about the person responsible for the kidnap?" she asks as she sits there reading while munching on a sandwich at the same time. He gets up and wonders over towards her.
"From what I have been told by other agents and read he is a piece of work, Why is that bones?" he asks her as he places a gentle kiss on her head.
"Well these x-rays that have been take show signs of long term abuse. Same with the adult female she has long term abuse showing injuries as well. The little girl she's by the looks of this broken over half the bones in her body at some stage, some more than once and she has had some of them seen too as well, as the fracture lines, line up far too well for them to have been left to mend on their own." She says as she shows Booth one of the x-rays showing two very clean straight mended breaks on the Tibia and Fibula. He shakes his head as Bones changes to another x-ray and shows him some more images of abuse that both child and other woman had gotten over time.
"Bones we can't let them see these, Sara is going to go ape shit if she sees what he has done to their little girl."
"I agree with you Booth, but also they will find out once the report is all done and we present our findings and then find this guy." Their conversation is interrupted by Booths mobile going off and he answers it. Ten minutes later he is off the phone.
"Bones I need to go into the police department and look over some more paperwork that has been found do you want to come and be dropped off at the lab or stay here?" he says as he starts changing.
"I'll come in and then I can do some more work on those bones, and do what I do on the other female body. I don't think they will want me dissecting their daughter into a million pieces just now."
Thirty minutes later they are on their way to the Las Vegas Police department to met up with Brass and go over the information that has been found while Bones goes back to the morgue to go over the second victim.
