Sorry I didn't update Saturday...or yesterday, I wasn't home at all. Thanks to the few that reviewed and for Becky for guessing what Brennan's idea was.

Happy 4th of July for those who celebrate!

Enjoy!

On the car ride back, as Brennan could think about was the idea she had. She wanted to bring it up to Booth and get his input, but she still wasn't sure if she trusted him completely. Brennan decided that since he did apologize, Hannah is gone and he said he would be her for her, she should just ask him already.

"Booth, do you think we would be able to take Alice's foster siblings out of that house?" Brennan couldn't let herself knowingly leave those kids in a bad home.

"Yea, if we have proof. Even if we take them out of that home, what about the next one?" Booth was waiting for her to bring this up.

"There are only two children left in that house. John and it says in the file that there is a 6 year old girl named Amanda. Besides, I know a way that I can take them out of that house and still keep them together." Brennan was surprised Booth hasn't figured it out yet, knowing her history.

"How do you plan on making sure they are safe?"

"Easy. They stay with me." Brennan was looking at him like he was crazy. How could he have not known?

Booth had a feeling that was what would happen. "Whoa. Are you sure? I mean, you always said you didn't want kids?"

"I just don't see how anyone could bring a child into this world knowing how bad it is. These kids already know, but I also want them to know that not everyone is like that. "

Booth was only able to look at her and smile because he was sure that his heart would explode, with happiness, if he did. "I, completely 100 percent think you should do it. You will be a great mom, I know it."

Brennan couldn't help the blush from showing. "Thank you Booth."

They sat in silence for the rest of the ride to the Jeffersonian. Once they got there, they both knew that their moment earlier was gone.

"I don't even know if they will let me have the kids. We would need proof and even though I'm a registered foster parent, I don't know if my job will affect this or if -" Brennan was rambling.

"We just need proof and I will make sure we get it. Don't worry; I will be here to help you along the entire time." Booth cut her off, needing to explain. Brennan just smiled and walked into the lab. Booth on the other hand, had some investigating to do over at the Hoover.

(Page Break)

Brennan got into the lab and immediately looked for Angela. She trusted Booth wholeheartedly, but she needed a female perspective.

"Angela" Brennan saw her coming down the platform and didn't want to waste any time.

"Hey Bren. What's up?"

They were walking back toward to office now. Brennan decided to wait until they were in the safety of an office to bring up the topic of discussion.

"I want to take in the two children that are foster siblings to Alice." She waited to see what Angela's reaction was.

All Angela could do was hug Brennan. "Yes, yes, yes. I think you would be a great mom and I will totally help you along the way."

Brennan couldn't help but smile. She had all the encouragement she needs. Now, she only needs proof and then she can save them.

"Bren, how are you going to get them? They are already with a foster family."

"John, the boy, said that they were abusing Alice. If they were abusing one, they probably abused them all. Also, the foster mom did not seem fit to be in that position." Brennan couldn't hide her disgust.

"Booth and I are going to question one of the teachers tomorrow. Maybe they can give us some insight on the kids' home lives." Brennan doubted it, but she was hopeful.

"Well whatever happens, I'll help."

"Thanks Ange."

AN: I know it isn't super long, but it's already a day late and I wanted it up before tomorrow.

Any suggestions let me know.
