Brennan and Booth got their guy and the answers that they needed to put him away for life. Afterwards they went to the diner.

"Hey Bones you want a bite?" asked Booth scooping up a fork full of apple pie. Brennan just staired at him.

"Booth, sweetheart, how many times have you asked me that and I tell you no?"

"Awe come on Bones just a wittle bite?" he stuck out a pouty lip and added his puppy dog eyes too. Brennan just busted out laughing. Booth couldn't help but smile. He loved watchin her laughed, *she looks so cute* he thought to himself as her laughter became infectious and he joined in with her. A few minutes later they were pulling into their driveway.

Once they reached the house there was an unfamiliar car parked with a guy leaning against it. He didn't look very friendly and looked kinda pissed of at something or maybe---someone.

"Can I help you?" asked Booth getting out of the SUV. The guy stood up as Booth walked over to the car just as another guy got out and spoke.

"I'm lookin' for---" he was interrupted by April.

"It's OK Daddy, Mama I got it you just go inside---please" I whispered the last part. Once they were inside and the door was closed and Daddy started watching me from the window, I turned back to him.

"What do you want Trent Phillips?" I asked. He smiled, evily.

"Why didn't ya use my nickname, you know the one you gave me? Ugh, what was it called oh yeah I remember it was Lips."

"Cos I'm involved right now that's why" I answered.

"Oh. Wh-who is it?" he asked. I was watchin' the other guy. He looked like somebody had pissed in his cornflakes and then he also looked familiar.

"His name is Aaron Brady," I said he dropped his head, "and he is really sweet to me just like you once were he just does it differently" I said with a small smile.

"Well, that's good. But---" he stepped closer to me---"but he ever hurts you, you know where I'll be" and with that he and creepy got in the car and drove off. I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I guess it was cos things ended really badly between me and him and now everythin' is fixed---I hope. I felt better knowin' me and him were cool, but still felt like I was being watched. I looked around for a minute or two then went back inside.

Little did I know that my gut was actually tellin' me that, that night would be the last night me and Aaron would see our baby girls---well, at lease till the kidnappers got their asses kicked all the way back to Kingdom Come.

I was awakened when I heard Vicie cryin'. Then I saw why she was cryin'. I ran into her and her sister's room and kicked the guy in the fold of his leg makin' him hit the floor-hard. I grabbed Vicie, Andi and ran outta there. I ran back into mine and Aaron's room. He woke up when I came in and sat down.

"April what's wrong, I heard somethin' that sounded somethin' or someone fell" he said. I turned to face him and I could've swore that he jumped. I was terrified. I had just, well almost, witnessed our little girls bein' kidnapped. He got up and walked around to the side of the bed I was on and grabbed my free hand.

"What happened?" he asked. Just then the guy came into our room. He had somethin' in his hand and was about to hit Aaron with it but I grabbed a pillow from the floor and threw it at him givin' Aaron enough time to move and boy did he move. The minute I threw it he spun his leg around on the floor, knockin' the guy down.

I was finally able to see his face. He looked familiar but I couldn't put a name on him. Just then Daddy came in followed by two agents. He almost tripped over him.

"Who is this?" Daddy asked.

"I've seen him before but I don't know" I replied.

"What was he doing?"

"He was---I was---he" I couldn't finish my sentence I was to scared to say it. Aaron finished it for me.

"April woke up and Vicie was cryin' so she went to go see and this a-sshole was in there tryin' to take her--," he looked at me and I nodded, --"so she ran up to him and kicked him then to the girls and ran outta there" he said. I was mortified. *What if I hadn't woken up? What if he had taken her--both of them? What if had never got to see my---our---babies again?*

All those questions were goin' through my head the whole time. I knew what it felt like to be kidnapped. It had happened to me.

"Ahhh-ah!! I know who he is!!!" I hollered.

"Who?"

"He--he kid--kidnapped me once" Now that I saw it out loud and with him starin' me down it was hard to say it--but I managed. No better way to put it behindcha than to embrace the pain and accept my past and move on--right? I came outta my thoughts when Daddy started to beat the hell outta him. I jumped to my feet and ran to him.

"Daddy stop!!" I hollered but he didn't so when he raised his fist again I grabbed it as he sent it flyin' back toward him. His eyes got wide and so did Aaron's and Mama's who was, just then, walkin' into the room. Daddy's eyes were transfixed on mine. My eyes told him everythin'. Yes I had been kidnapped but I was never harmed and Mama(Sophie)had gotten me back in one piece.

He just dropped his fist, which I was thankful cos I couldn't hold it anymore, and threw his arms around me. He cried. I was stunned. In all the months I had been with Daddy I had never once seen him cry. He buried his face in my hair and cried. I motioned for the two agents to escort the guy, whose name I can't remember, outta the room.

Mama and Aaron then took the babies and left to let me and Daddy talk. Once they were gone I craned my neck to see Daddy's face. It was red and I smirked a little. I wasn't smirkin' at Daddy just how ridiculous he looked. A grown man cryin' but I knew it was rude so I stopped.

"Daddy look at me" I said. He lifted his head up and looked into my eyes. I spoke again.

"Stop cryin' please before you get me started" I tried to get him to laugh or at least smile which I succeed cos he gave me one of his half smiles. He then spoke.

"I'm sorry I wasn't around when you were born---"

"Daddy---"

"No let me finish. I never wanted to be like my father was and somehow I feel like I'm becomin' him every day and---"

"Hold up just one second mister" I said. He tried to talk again but I put my hand over his mouth.

"I may not know anythin' about your father and probably don't want to know but I do know one thing, you are nuttin' like your father. You got that? I never want to hear you say that again. IMO, you are better than your father. He was a drunk, am I right?," he nodded his head and I continued.

"Then you are nuttin' like him at all. Of course you have a beer every once'n'awhile but you don't do it every day at every minute like I've seen some of my friend's dads do. You may look like your dad but you aren't him. You are Special Agent Seeley Booth of the FBI. A good'ol boy who knows the difference between right and wrong" He gave me another half smile and spoke.

"You know that kinda sounded like that last part came from Walker Texas Ranger" he said with a chuckle. I smiled.

"Yeah well you got my point." I said startin' to laugh.

"Yeah I did and thank you"

"You are welcome and btw that's not how it goes" I said.

"Oh yeah then how does it go 'oh smart one'?" he asked usin' air quotations at the last part. I giggled,

"It goes 'In the eyes of a Ranger; the unsuspected stranger is always gonna know the truth of right from wrong'," then I start to sing the theme song,

"Cos the eyes of the Rangers are upon you and

everythin' you do he's gonna see so

when ever you're in Texas look behind you

Cos that's where the Rangers gonna be"

I think Daddy was mesmerized by my voice cos he just kept starin' at me and he blinked a couple times. It got a little weird so I spoke.

"What?" He smirked.

"You sing beautifully just like Sophie did" My eyes started to swell up with tears. He reached up and whipped my face as one tear started to fall. I wrapped my arms around his neck, kissed his jaw and pulled him close to me. I've never been around the best father figures in the world but to be in this guys presents is a dream come true.

"I love you Daddy" I said. He hugged me tighter and I heard him start cryin' again but this time I let him cos they were tears of happiness just like mine. He pulled back when he heard me laughin'. It started out very quiet but then it turned into uncontrollable laughter. He just stared at me which made me laugh harder.

"What are you laughing at!?" He finally asked. I was startin' to calm down.

"We look ridiculous sittin' here cryin' like a couple of babies and also the look on your face when I started laughin'. You looked like you thought I had lost my marbles!" I said as I started to laugh again. Then Daddy started to laugh. We left my room and walked down stairs holdin' on to each other and the rail so we wouldn't fall.

When we got to the bottom Mama and Aaron were now lookin' at us like we both had lost our marbles. We took one look at their faces and literately hit the floor laughin'. We both were cluchin' our sides. Once we started to calm down Mama spoke.

"Are you guys Ok?" I was smilin' and now the look on her face was even funnier than before so I just busted out laughin' again. She then looks at Daddy.

"Is she OK?" He nodded and then started laughin' again. In all the co-motion we forgot about Parker up in his room. Just then he walked down the stairs. Mama saw him and she walked over to him to try and gits some answers.

"Parker do you know why they're laughin'?" she asked. Parker smiled and giggled.

"They're laughing at how funny they looked crying like a couple of babies" he said then started to laugh at me and Daddy. The twins were laughin' to. Finally me and Daddy calmed down completely with a little snicker here and there we fixed breakfast.

After breakfast me and Daddy were doin' the dishes. I washed, he dried. We were almost done when I spoke.

"Awhile ago you told me that I sang beautifully---"

"And I meant it." He interrupted me.

"I know Daddy, anyway I was wondering if I went to Nashville, Tennessee would you watch the twins?" I asked. He looked at me confused.

"Why?" he asked.

"Cos I want to see if I can become a singer" I said. He smiled.

"Yeah of course Bones and I would be happy to but you can't leave just yet" Now I'm confused.

"Why not?"

"Because you have to 5 week old twins to take care of first before you go anywhere" he said.

"Of course Daddy I know that" I said with a non-believable smile.

"Yeah sure you did" he said with a smile.
