"I like it," he told her as he looked over the mock-up she had for a layout in some computer magazine.

"Of course you do. That's the whole point of re-branding and doing interviews; to get more people to like us. I'm just glad they didn't go too sexist with it," Jim muttered.

"You know Spock would never go for that, you're his sister in every way that matters and he'd never let someone disrespect you. Besides, you're already beyond hot for the owner of a cybersecurity company and I doubt they have to point that out. Which is why they went for normal-ish with the pictures," Leonard said.

"You talked to Gaila, didn't you?" she asked.

"Of course I did. I honestly just called to check on her when she told me what was up. She got a kick out of the fact that someone has beautiful as you are was worried about these pictures. It's nice hearing her laugh, even if it's at you," the southerner answered.

After Gary's funeral, Leonard hadn't seem much of their favorite redhead. It turns out that she was spending some time with her family. He was worried about her, then Gaila started talking about shoes for the wedding and he knew she was on her way to being okay.

"I know. She needed some time to wrap her head around it. Now she's in full maid of honor mode. It's kinda scary but I know she won't let us down," Jim said before looking at the picture on the screen. "Tech Magazine today, who knows what tomorrow."

"I think you might have to get me the original of this one? I like it," Leonard whispered against her shoulder before pressing his lips against it.

"You're incorrigible," she muttered. He nodded and pulled the tablet from her hands.

"Only when you're involved."

Leonard knew something bad was gonna happen when he woke up that morning. It was Valentine's Day and Jim planned the whole thing, he just had to show up. So, getting a text twenty minutes before the end of the shift telling him that Jocelyn was at the house pissed him off more than anything. Phil, who came in for his shift early, told him to go. Geoff, the buddy he was, drove him home since Leonard had gotten into the habit of walking the two and half blocks after they moved in a few weeks ago.

"Who's yelling like that?" Geoff asked.

"Jo," Leonard said to his friend as they ran up the steps. If Jocelyn thought the little girl was gonna welcome her mother back with open arms, she had another thing coming.

"…You don't get to just show up and tell me anything. You left me and went to Europe with that asshole. Leave me alone," Jo yelled just as Leonard walked into house. Jocelyn smiled when she saw him.

"Lenny," his ex-wife said sweetly. She wants something. He doesn't know what but he knows that tone.

"Jocelyn," he greeted her coolly before dropping a kiss on the top of Joanna's head. "Hey, baby girl, why don't you show Uncle Geoff that new game you were talking about?" Jo nodded and walked past her mother, flinching away when the woman tried to grab her, and went up the stairs with the other doctor. For a long minute, Leonard watched as his fiancée stood up.

"I'm gonna let you talk," Jim said. Leonard reached out and grabbed her hand.

"Stay. Whatever she's gonna say has to do with you too. What do you want Jocelyn?" he asked the woman standing in front of him.

"My daughter. You think I'd just leave her," the woman said.

"That's exactly what you did. Almost a year ago," Jim mumbled. His ex-wife glared.

"I'm not talking to you," Jocelyn growled. Jim just gave her a look.

"I know you got better manners than that. It's her house, she can say what she wants. You know there's no way in hell Jo would ever leave with you after that disappearing act you pulled on her. The custody order was changed when you left the country and you know that. Why are you here?" he asked.

"She's pregnant and I'm guessing he left her high and dry. For the Spanish secretary, if I had to guess," Jim offered. He looked closely at this ex-wife and her hand slowly moved to cover her stomach protectively at his observation.

"How the hell do you know that?" Jocelyn glared at Jim.

"I'm a genius who's stepdad and fiancé are both doctors. Not that hard to figure out if you pay attention," his girl answered.

"You're engaged?" Jocelyn asked him after spotting Jim's ring. He nodded. "But… but…"

"You thought you could come here and I'd fall all over myself to get back together with you because I was miserable and pathetic? Nope, sorry. You cheated with that trash and I upgraded. How'd you find me and what do you want?" the southerner asked. Jocelyn stared at him before she sighed.

"Property owners are listed online. I have nothing and no one. I sold my rings just to get back here from Spain. I called my family but they don't want anything to do with me. I thought... maybe…" Jocelyn sighed.

"I'll put you up somewhere nice for a few days and I'll buy you a ticket to Atlanta. What you do from there is on you. I'll try to talk to Jo but I won't promise you anything. If she contacts you, it'll be because she wants to. Until she does, you leave them alone. Deal?" Jim offered the other woman.

"Why would you do that?" Jocelyn asked.

"Because of you I have them, they're the best thing that ever happened to me. And my mother's dead… Jo thinks she doesn't want to talk to you now but there will come a day when she wishes she did. Plus the baby deserves to know his or her sister," Jim replied. "Do we have a deal?"

"Yes. We have a deal," Jocelyn said. Jim pulled out her phone to make a call and left them alone. "Where'd you find her?"

"On an airplane, believe it or not. Jo will come around eventually but I don't expect anyone else will. The house in Atlanta is still yours and you owe Fred big time because he's been maintaining it since you left," Leonard said. "My advice is to sell it and move into a smaller place until you figure out what you're gonna do."

"Why don't you hate me?" his ex asked.

"I never hated you. Dislike the hell outta you most of the time, sure, but never hate. I wasn't blameless in why our marriage fell apart. I just didn't cheat," he said honestly.

"Your fiancée doesn't like me much, does she?" Jocelyn asked.

"Nope. More on Jo's behalf than mine," he said with a shrug just as Jim came back.

"She's all set. There's a taxi coming for you. When you get to the hotel just give them your name. You have a flight home in two days. Non-stop straight to ATL," Jim said.

"Thank you," Jocelyn said. It's the second time he's ever heard the words come out her mouth.

"Didn't do it for you."

"Who are you texting this early in the morning?" he asked his daughter.

"My mother and Uncle Monty. But mostly Uncle Monty, we're building a rocket later today," Joanna answered. Leonard looked at Jim, who was making pancakes.

"Science fair. Scotty and Pasha offered to help. They both get a kick out of that stuff," his fiancée told him as she sat a plate in front of him. "I already saw the specs for it, it's pretty cool."

"Where are you building this rocket?" he asked.

"My office," Jo said. He gave her a look. "What?"

"Since when does she have an office?" Leonard asked his fiancée.

"Last week, it's the empty one next to Pasha's. She was working on something too big for her too take over my office with it. So I gave her one. Jo's more than earned it anyway and she's there so much that it just made sense. Besides, we were talking about a summer job for her at E.G. and since it's April, the timing worked," Jim said.

"She'll be eleven in a few days," he said. Jim and Jo both gave him a look. "She's is also a genius. What's the job?"

"Systems security. I'll get to work with Pasha like I did with the whole Archer thing," Jo said. "I'm gonna take a couple college credits too. Mostly online, so I can do it from work."

"Really?" Leonard chuckled, "Jim?"

"At the rate she's going, she'll graduate high school before she turns thirteen. College right after that. I'm not gonna stop her unless I see signs of burn out." He could actually understand that.

"And E.G.?" the southerner asked.

"If she wants to work for me, she can. If she wants the company and she works for it, I'll give her one of my jobs, I technically have three of them," Jim said with a shrug as she sat down. "Men give their companies to their kids all the time, at least our kid knows what she's doing."
