Ambulance lights flashed as the two were lead from the building by medics, Sweets leading the way. A body was being lead out behind the group, soon being loaded into a coroner's van.

"We don't have to go to hospital, Sweets." Booth groaned.

"Stanard processer, Booth, get over it." Sweets said, signing some sort of paper that was handed to him. "Plus, by the sound of your breathing, you need to see a doctor, so don't shoot the messenger."

"Baby. Baby, look at me." Daisy said, escaping her medic and rushing up infront of her mate. "You will come with me in the ambulance, right?"

"I would, but I have to sort through this mess, there are sixteen dead bodies here." Sweets said, jabbing a thumb at the murder house.

"Babe... listen to me." Daisy said, placing her hands on the side of his face. "You just killed a man, so I need you to do or say something sweet and dorky before I go to the hospital."

"I don't think I can be dorky on command, Daisy... I really have to make some calls, family and stuff, you know?" Sweets gave her a kiss. "I will pick you up from the hospital in an hour, promise."

"Baby..."

"I'll bring Seeley to, he misses you." Sweets said, walking away.

"He's going to be okay, isn't he?" Daisy asked Booth as her medic took her back and lead them towards the ambulances.

"He will, we all will. It just might take awhile."

"Hey, how are you two feeling?" Sweets asked as he walked into Booth and Daisy's shared room, caring his infant son in his arms.

"We are fine. Some bruising, a few cracked ribs in Agents Booth's case and some bruised ones in mine but we will be fine." Daisy smiled. "Now give me my baby." She held out her arms and Sweets complied.

"Mama! Mama mama mama." The baby cooed softly as he was placed in his mothers arms, laughing as she hugged him and kissed his head, despite the pain it caused her. "Mama!"

"Mommy's here." She whispered, holding him close. "I'm here now, I'm sorry you had to see Mommy get taken by the bad man, but I'm back. I'm here, Mommy's here."

"Mama." He giggled back.

"Yes." She smiled into his curls.

"You're sure you're okay?" Sweets asked, kissing her forehead.

"I'm going to be fine, baby, are you okay?"

"I wasn't the one who was kidnapped, you were, Miss Daisy." Sweets reminded.

"So you keep telling me." Daisy smiled.

"Hey, Daisy, why don't you go get our clothes from that doctor, I need to have a talk with Sweets here." Booth said and Daisy nodded before getting out of bed and leaving.

"You know, Daisy is going to take my name, we are filing the forms this week. Daisy Sweets, has a ring to it, right?"

"Shut up." Booth said, sitting up in bed. "We both know that isn't what I want to talk about."

"What are you talking about?"

"You know exactally what I'm talking about, Sweets. You killed a man, that takes a toll on a man." Booth said, looking Sweets in the eyes. "You might not feel it right now, but it's going to hit you and when it does..."

"What, are you going to tell some army ranger story now?"

"No, I'm going to tell you a sniper story because you didn't just kill some random in the line of duty, that's different from hunting down a man and killing him and we both know that that is what you did." Booth said, narrowing his eyes ever so slightly. "The first time I went on assignment as a sniper, I didn't really think much about what it meant to kill someone, I was young. I wasn't even sure if any of the shots I fired had actually killed someone, and even so I wasn't in battle long before I was snapped up for snipper training, they called me a natural. The mission was success, the target was neutralized and I went back to base. Then, when I went to go to bed, it hit me, like smack to the face. That I had hunted and killed a man, it felt like had shoved an elephant in my head, an elephant named Murder. I saw that man I killed in my dreams, falling to the ground with a bleeding neck. I did the Disconecting the Comupter (Or whatever it was called) on him, I was the youngest sniper in my unit, I had something to prove. The piont being... you need to talk to someone about this. I had a preist to talk to, to absolve my sin, but since you aren't religious, I recemend you talk to someone about it. I'm always available. And remember, you can't push Daisy away, or you will lose her."

"Thanks, Booth, but I'll be fine." Sweets nodded, unable to break Booth's intense gaze.

"No, you won't."

"Whatever you say."

"I do, I do say."

"Heeeyyy there, Miss Daisy." Sweets gave a small smile as he entered his bedroom. "Wiggle worm is down for the count, you feeling any better?"

"Yeah." She said, rolling over to face him as he climbed into bed with her.

"Good." He smiled giving her a kiss. "Maybe I can kiss those bruises better, huh?" He said, rapping his arms around her and discomfort flashed on her face.

"No, baby, I'm not really in the mood." She said, squirming slightly.

"What, your always in the mood, what's wrong?" Sweets asked, drawing his brows together.

"I'm just not..."

"No, thee is definetely something wrong... Was it James? What did he did he do to you? Did... Did he rape you, Daisy?"

"No! God, no!" Daisy squeaked before softening and resting her head on her pillow. "He... tried, but I fought him. I fought him really hard, so he didn't get very far before I kneed him in the family jewels, then... H-he got r-really mad... And he did something else... to punish me, and then... he decided he wanted to kill us, so he went upstairs to get his killing knife."

"Oh my God... Daisy... What did he do?"

"I didn't want to show, not for awhile, because it'll upset you. I was hoping they will fade..."

"Daisy. What. Did. He. DO?" Sweets asked, tilting his head.

"I'll just... show you." She whispered, crawling out of bed before face away from him and taking her shirt, then he saw them. Long, red, angry cuts and lashes, crossed on her back, they looked like...

"He whipped you?" Sweets whispered. "Son of Bitch!"

"Lance... I'm sorry."

"No, no sorry. I'm sorry." He said, getting out of bed and turning her around to face him. "I'm so sorry."

"It's not your fault." She said, letting him hold her to his chest. She buried her face in his shirt as the tears finally came. "It was so horrible, Lance, he hands where all over me, then the whip... It was so scary. I was so afraid..."

"I know... I know you were, and I'm sorry you went through all that..." He said, holding her close. "It'll be okay."

"It will?"

"Yes." Sweets said, kissing her forehead softly. "I promise... Tell you what, I have a surprise for you tommorrow. We are going to visit some place."

"Where?"

"Well, it wouldn't be a surpise if I told you." He chuckled before giving her a symathetic look. "Now just lay down, okay?" Sweets said, sitting her down on the bed. Daisy smiled back up at him with teary eyes before nodding and laying down. "Do you want me to go sleep on the couch?"

"No..." Daisy said. "But... can you just hold me? Just for tonight?"

"For however long you need." He smiled, crawling back into bed with her. He held her close as she snuggled closer and went to sleep. His smile disappeared and he stared into space.

##################################################################################

"Are we there yet?" Daisy asked, looking out the window as their baby cooed in the backseat.

"Daisy, we have been driving for seven minutes." Sweets laughed. "Be patient, my lovely."

"I'm so excited!"

"Yes, you are."

"We are pulling into a suberb, why?"

"It's a surppiiisseeee."

"You're no fun!"

"To bad." Sweets chuckled before pulling into a driveway.

"Why did you pull in here?"

"Get the baby." Sweets smiled, getting out of the car. Soon, Daisy was out with little Seeley and they were standing on the front of the lawn. Before Sweets could speak, they were aproached.

"Little Lance Sweets! Is that you?" A woman who was dancing on the line between middle aged and elderly walked up to them.

"Yeah, it's me." Sweets smiled at the woman.

"Oh, look how big you are! I haven't seen you around here since the Finleys died." She smiled before looking at Seeley. "Well, who is this handsome devil?"

"This is my son, Seeley, and this is my wife, Daisy." Sweets gestured to his little family unit.

"You are married? And to such a pretty woman. Your parents would be so proud." She smiled.

"Yeah..."

"Are you finally moving in?" She asked, gesturing to the house. "That would be so great. Kenny and his partener just adopted a little girl, she is adorable, he would love to arrange a play date."

"Sounds like a plan." Sweets smiled. "If you wouldn't mind, I was trying to tell her..."

"Oh, right, sorry. You two go on." She blushed, scampering off.

"We are moving into this place?" Daisy grinned.

"Yes, we are." He smiled, wrapping an arm around her. "Welcome home, baby."
