Temperance I was confident that Joy was going to school.

Her daughter would do well at school, she had Parker and she had people who cared about her well being.

But she was anxious, she was barely able to concentrate on her work.

She didn't notice the hour passing, but it was soon lunchtime.

—Hey Bren,Do you want to go to lunch?

—Hum? (She looked at the door)

—Bren, Let's have lunch? (Angela said again and entered her office)

—Is it lunchtime already? (She asked Angela

— Yes, Sweety. (Angela smiled) Come on,I'm hungry, don't make me wait. (She said and took her hand)

—Okay, let's go.(She murmured)

—What happened to you?

—I'm a little anxious about Joy's first day of school.

—Awn,you are so cute nervous about Joy's first day of school! (Angela said excitedly)

—i know she is fine, that they are taking good care of her, but I feel anxious.(Temperance Said and bit her lower lip)

—Sweety you're a mother now, Everything she does away from you will make you anxious, be go to school or take hockey lessons or Ballet class or the first field trip...Your mind will be on her, but don't worry, my baby isn't born and I already feel that way.

—You know exactly what to say, sometimes. (Temperance said after reflecting on her friend's word)

—Im a future mom, I have a lot of wisdom.(Amgela said and put one hand on her belly and stretched the other to Temperance.)Now let's go, I'm starving.

Temperance Smiled and took Angela's hand and the two left for lunch.

•••

Angela found Temperance's new persona charming.

She was sweeter and kinder.

And she was adored she was with Joy.

She was sweeter and more understanding and even simpler.

Temperance was a great mother and Angela loved that side of her.

—So, what time are you going to pick up Joy and Parks from school?

- I'll pick them up at 3 or before if they ask. (She said and picked up the phone) The director sent Joy a photo of her at lunch, she is making friends, according to the director. (She handed Angela the phone)

—Oh my God she is adorable! (Angela yelled excitedly) I hope Joy and the baby are best friends.

—Joy is already preparing to be a great cousin, making plans and everything. (Temperance Said and the two entered the restaurant.)

As Temperance's eyes entered, they went directly to Booth and soon she smiled and gave a brief nod.

—Uh G-man is here and Barbie Baghdad too, and she doesn't look happy .. (Angela murmured in her ear) Hey Booth.

Booth looked directly at the two women who were now walking towards him.

He couldn't contain his smile when he saw those two together.

—Hi Ange, Hi Tempe. (Booth Said) How's your baby Ange?

— More and more agitated. (She put her hand under her belly) He's probably learning karate in here.

—He earns it from his mother. (He laughed and looked at Temperance) And any news about Joy?

—The director sent me a picture of her at lunch. (She showed him the picture) and Good afternoon Hannah.

—Hello Temperance and Angela. (Hannah said uncomfortably)

—She looks very happy. (Booth said and handed the phone back) Are we still going to pick them up at 3 PM?

—Of course, as agreed. (Temperance smiled)

—Well, we have to have lunch! (Angela said and pulled Temperance's arm) Come on Bren.

—Hey, bones. (He took her hand) Pops are coming over the weekend.

—Oh, this is going to be fun.

—Sure, I'll see you at three or before.(Booth said and smiled charmingly)

—See you later.

She smiled at him and walked away from Booth's desk.

Booth smiled as he watched her walk away and looked at Hannah who was frowning.

—What happened? (Booth asked curiously)

—Nothing. (Hannah sighed) I'm going, a lot of work to do.

—Sure, see you at home.(Hannah gave him a quick kiss)

Hannah nodded and left.

Booth paid the bill and left too, but before leaving he smiled when he saw Bones and Angela together.

Seeing Temperance smiling was good for the eyes.

Joy was sitting in her new classroom.

The first day was fun, not as much as the lab, but it was a good one.

She had made a friend, Lucy Cardwell and she was fun and she was her age.

There were other children, but Lucy had been his favorite.

The teacher, Miss Carmen was very kind and after she said that her mother was the world famous writer, Temperance Brennan, she asked for a signed copy of her mother's book and Joy would surely bring it to her.

When the bell rang, after the other kids left, she waited for Parker by the door to her office.

He soon appeared and the two left together.

—I liked it and you? (Parker asked while holding his sister's hand)

—It was fun, I made friends! (She said) I think Mom and Dad will be happy.

—Of course they are. (Parker said cheerfully for his sister) And I also made friends, I think it was a great first day.

Joy nodded excitedly and they both stopped to look for their parents' car.

As soon as they found the two they ran to the SVU.

—Hey if they are not the two coolest students at that school! (Booth said and took his daughter in his arms and hugged Parker aside) How was the first day?

—Fun! (Parker said excitedly and hugged Temperance) There are a lot of nice people in my classroom.

—And your day Jolly? (Temperance asked after giving her a kiss on the cheek)

—Cool, I have a friend named Lucy! (She said)

—Okay, now let's go right now that we have a lot of work to do.(Booth said and put Joy in the back seat)

—But not even a celebration ice cream? (Parker asked) We deserve an ice cream!

—Yeah, I didn't even cry! I deserve ice cream!(Joy said)

—Idon't think a quick stop for ice cream will do you any harm.(Temperance said with a smile at Booth.)

Who did he want to fool? He couldn't resist those three.

—Okay, quick stop for ice cream.

They went to a small ice cream shop near the laboratory.

The children excitedly told about their day at school.

And the adults listened happily.

As soon as they both finished their detailed accounts of the day.

Booth decided to tell about Pops.

—Well, we also have something new,(Booth said)

—You left Hannah and now you're going to marry Bones?(Parker said expectantly)

—Or better you and mom are going to have a baby? (Joy asked equally excitedly)

—No! (Temperance and Booth said together)

—Okay, so what is it? (Parker asked)

—Pops are coming to town! (Booth said)

—Yeah! (Parker said excitedly) I can't wait to see the pops, he makes the best sandwiches in the world.

- Am I going to be able to meet him? (Joy asked her mother confusedly)

—Of course, he is your grandfather and Hank is very excited to meet you.

—Does he know about me?

—You know and are very eager to meet you.

Joy gave her father a happy smile.

She was happy.

It was the first time in her life that Joy was so happy to meet someone new.

He was getting to know more about his own new family.

Meanwhile in prison in DC.

—The girl is worth a lot of money, Tony, I'm not talking about crumbs from social work, I'm talking about real money. (The woman said as she looked through the glass that separated her from her husband) of getting rich!

—What do you want me to do, Lindsay, I'm stuck here!(He said angrily and glanced at the guards.)

—Well Tony (the woman smiled), if you support me and tell me who I can talk to help me with my plan, before you know it you'll be out of there, but we need the girl!

—How? That girl is worthless, never worth what made you change your mind now?

—She was adopted by people on the money and an addendum is that her new parents work for the FBI if he wants to find his little girl back, he's going to have to let you go.

—Lindsay..this can go terribly wrong ..

—Or terribly right, Come on Tony boy, what do you have to lose?

Tony Andersen took a deep breath and looked at his wife, excited by the glass.

He was already in prison, what did he have to lose?

—Okay Lind, do what you think best and look for a guy named Damian Lewis, he can help you.

—Thank you dear. (She blew him a kiss) I have to go, see you out here.
