What do you think you're doing?

Jessica walked into Horatio's office and shut the door a little too forcefully.

"What do you think you're doing?" Jessica demanded.

Horatio looked up from the paperwork he was filling out. "Writing out a search warrant, why?"

Horatio still wasn't pleased with the fact that his daughter was still dating Ryan Wolfe and he was even more displeased with the fact that she had been giving him the silent treatment for the last three weeks. He couldn't help but feel she was still that little girl she used to be at heart.

"Three weeks ago you yell at me for finding true love and getting pregnant and you told me to leave Ryan. Now you're sending us off together for a week into the Florida Keys by ourselves!" Jessica was furious, "Are you trying to ruin my life or are you trying to amend it? I don't understand. What are you doing!"

Horatio looked at his daughter. "Do you ever think of anyone besides yourself?"

Jessica's face flushed. "What are you trying to say! That I'm selfish! Because I'm pretty sure I wasn't thinking just about me when I decided to keep this baby!"
"Does that mean you've told Ryan finally?"

Jessica froze. She now understood why Horatio had agreed to send her to the Keys with Ryan.

"You want me to tell him while we're there, don't you?"

"I see your deductive skills have not failed you yet, Dr. Stone-Caine."

Jessica looked at Horatio. "And you want me to tell him you're my father, don't you?"

"Jessica, how much does Ryan really know about you?" Horatio asked. "He knows that you lived in Chicago, your parents were both cops, your mother died when you were four of leukemia, your father was killed by your ex-boyfriend when you were fourteen, that you were adopted by your Godfather, and that you started college when you were fifteen. Does he know I'm your Godfather? That it was me that gave up my kidney so you didn't have to wait years for a new one and you could start your life again? Does he know who Dr. Jessica Stone really is? Does he even know your eyes used to be green?" Horatio was yelling by the time he finished his last sentence. He looked at Jessica, fury filling his blue eyes.

Jessica sat in the chair across from Horatio and buried her face in her hands. Horatio was right. Ryan didn't know everything about her. In fact he probably knew hardly anything about the real Jessica.

"I'm not ready to tell him yet." Jessica said through her fingers.

"But you're willing to wear a ring he gave you, sleep with him, have his baby, and practically cohabitate with him?" Horatio questioned her.

"What makes you think we're living together?" Jessica sat up and crossed her arms.

"Just the fact that he left his keys in the DNA lab and when I returned them I noticed the spare key to your condo and you're Q7 on them. And I'm willing to bet that you have a key to his apartment and car."
Jessica looked at Horatio briefly and then reached into the pocket of her lab coat. She tossed her keys onto Horatio's desk. Horatio could see clear as day a house and car key he didn't recognize.

"Jessica, you say Ryan is crazy about you and loves you dearly, but who does he really love? He can't love just Jessica. He has to love Izzy, too."

Jessica stared at Horatio. It was in that moment Horatio realized why so many people feared him. Jessica's blue eyes stared fiercely at him. It was intimidating and Horatio felt Jessica could see his every thought.

"Fine, I'll tell him. But I'm telling him on my own time, not the department's."
With that Jessica stood from the chair and walked out of Horatio's office.

Horatio sat at his desk, a sudden headache approaching. He rubbed his eyes momentarily, and then picked up his pen and finished the search warrant.

"Jessica Caine," he said to him self, "What am I going to do with you?"
