As Natalie thought back on the past three weeks she couldn't believe how much had changed in her life. John and Michael had found a sister they hadn't know they had, Eve had found a daughter she had thought was dead. Natalie had found a friend that she felt could really understand her. She and Willow had talked about her kidnapping. Willow didn't know the person who stole her but she was looking into it. She hadn't before because she didn't know who she was or who her parents were.

Willow's given name was Lily McBain but she had decided to keep the name Willow in honor of her adoptive parents. She had had it legally changed last week. Willow had changed her last name to McBain but had keep Summers as an alias for her business. She didn't want to have to change all that. Eve had been so shocked to find out her daughter had lived and had been stolen.

"Hey, what's wrong?" John said coming out of his office to see Natalie sitting at her desk lost in thought.

Natalie looked up and smiled. "Nothing. Just thinking about the past few weeks that's all. So much has changed but everything is the same. You know what I mean?"

"No, not really." John said scrunching up his nose in a way that made Natalie want to kiss him.

"It's just that while things have changed, Willow coming to town and her being your sister and opening up her business with Rex, us moving in together, things are pretty much the same as they were when all this started. You and I are still together, we still have to work, Mom is still sick, and the Music Box killer is still killing." She explained.

John thought about that and all that had happened. He thought about his mom's reaction to meeting Willow and being told who she was.

Flashback

"Hey, Mom you home?" called Michael from the front door.

"Come on in boys." Said Eve thinking how nice it was to see them and Natalie. She was very curious about this mystery guest. Maybe Michael had found someone since things didn't seem to be going so well with Marcie.

John, Natalie, Michael, and Willow came inside the house. Willow fidgeted with the bottom of her jacket showing her nervousness as Eve hugged them all. When she got to Willow she said, "I am Eve McBain it's nice to meet you," holding out her hand for Willow to shake.

Willow shook her hand and glance nervously at John and Michael and said, "I'm Willow Summers it's wonderful to meet you too"

They made small talk for about 10 minutes until Eve said, "Ok, why is everyone acting funny. Is there something I should know?"

John looked at Michael who nodded and said, "Mom we need to tell you something. You might want to sit down for this."

Eve, puzzled, sat down at the kitchen table, and motioned for everyone else to as well. "What's going on John. Is one of you sick? You are scaring me." She said very uneasily.

"None of us is sick." Michael piped in, as Natalie remained quiet. She thought this was a family matter and was going to keep out of it till John needed her.

John took a deep breath, reaching for Natalie's hand for support, he said softly, "Mom we know about our sister who you had that was stillborn."

Eve froze and looked faint. "How do you know about that? You were to little to remember that." She said painfully. This was a very painful thing for her to talk about even now.

John let go of her hand and with both hands reached for his mother's hands. "Mom we know this is hard for you to talk about but we have something wonderful to tell you. Your daughter, our sister, didn't die. She lived. She was kidnapped and sold to an illegal adoption ring."

Eve looked at John then Michael then back at John, "You know this for sure?" She said hopefully.

"Yes," Michael said, "we found out yesterday and we got proof today."

"Where is she?" Eve breathed with tears in her eyes. Both John and Michael turned and looked at Willow who sat in her chair silently. "Willow? Willow is my daughter?" Eve cried happily.

They all nodded and watched as Eve stood up on shaky legs and walked over to Willow and embraced her. Both were crying, tears of happiness for being reunited and sorrow for all the lost time they had missed. They had stayed like that for a while before pulling apart and smiling at each other. They all had stayed long into the night talking and getting to know each other. Eve had wanted them to stay so they could get to know one another but John, Natalie, and Michael had to go back to work, but Willow had stayed. She had stayed for a week with Eve so they could get to know one another.

His cell phone ringing jolted John out of his thoughts. He looked at Natalie and said, "got to take this." She noddedgot up, gave him a little kiss, and went to file some papers.

"McBain."

"John its Bo. We have another murder, down by the docks this time."

John was in Bo's office discussing the latest murder when someone knocked on the door. Bo answered the door and a man John didn't know came in.

"John this is Dr. Steven Haver, Dr. Haver this is John McBain." Bo said.

They shook hands and greeted each other. "Dr. Haver is going to help us on the Music Box Killer case." He said and nodded for Haver to sit down. As they sat discussing the case Haver brought up the notes he had been leaving.

"By the look of these notes he is taunting you into revealing information he thinks you know. What did the last one say again?" Haver asked.

"It was addressed directly to me this time." John said. He read the note to Haver. McBain, Bring me the water flower, and I will end my game. Give me what I want or this game will continue.

"It sounds like he thinks you know something that he wants. This could be the way to catch him. Do you have any idea what he means by "the water flower"? Also these music boxes mean something to the killer. They could be a way to figure out what he wants to know. My guess he is stringing you along until he sees fit to clue you in on his game." Haver said appearing to be deep in thought. "I suggest you find him and soon because he is only going to kill more frequently until he finds what he wants."

Bo nodded and said, "I just wish we could figure out why he contacted John personally."

"The killer obviously thinks John knows what he is talking about. John you need to think about this and try to find out what he means by "the water flower" Maybe if you can figure out what it has to do with you then you can get the upper hand."

Bo stood up and shook Haver's hand. "Thank you for the insight."

"No problem I hope it helps." Haver said nodding to John and then left the room nearly knocking down Natalie as she was putting away some files.

"Excuse me!" Natalie said sarcastically, almost falling over.

Haver looked at her and smiled, His eyes looking her over. " Oh I'm sorry. Did I bump into you, dear?" He said in a smooth voice. "Please accept my apology."

Natalie nodded and went into Bo's office. "Hey, Uncle Bo. I have those files you wanted. I am going to lunch now I'll be back in an hour."

John followed her out of the office and grabbed her around the middle. "Hey, baby." He said kissing the side of her neck.

"John we are at work!" Natalie said giggling. "I'm going to Lunch with Willow today, you want to come to?"

"As much as I would love to I can't. I have to catch this killer. It's getting personal now."

"The note was actually addressed to you?" Natalie asked worried. "Will you be home late?"

"Yeah." He said, "This new psychologist thinks that the killer thinks I know some thing called the water flower. I have no idea what it is."

"Lily's are water flowers," Natalie said thinking, "you do know a Lily. Willow's name was Lily. Maybe the killer is saying he knows that you know Willow."

John's eyes grew dark and he took sharp breath, the killer wanted him to bring him Willow? No, that couldn't be what it meant. That didn't make any sense. "I don't know Natalie. How could the killer know about Willow when we just found out? He would have had to have known about her before she even contacted me and Mike."

"Still John maybe you should talk to Willow about it. She might be able to help even if I'm wrong about the note thing." Natalie said. "By the way who was that guy that almost knocked me over?"

"Oh that was Dr. Haver. He is helping us on the MBK case."

"That's Dr. Haver? Jessica has him as a teacher for her psyc 210 class. She thinks he is great. But he kind of gave me the creeps." She said with a small shiver.

"He gave you the creeps, what do you mean?" John asked.

"Well it was his eyes, the way he looked a me," Natalie said, "it reminded me of Mitch Lawrence. The way he was always looking at something in his way like he would just rather kill it off."

"It wouldn't hurt to keep an eye on him. I thought that there was something a bit off about him too."

"I know I'm probably making too big a deal about it but there is just something not right with him. Thanks for listening to me." She said gratefully, giving John a big hug, and kiss. "Now I have to get to Capricorn to meet Willow. Antonio hired her to get some dirt on RJ that he could use to win the custody battle."

"Really? She find out any thing?" He asked interested.

"I don't know. She is as tight-lipped about her cases as you are. I'm meeting Rex later maybe he will tell me." Natalie said. "I wonder what's going on with them anyway. They have been spending an awful lot of time together this past week."

"Who?" John asked.

"Rex and Willow! They are together all the time and they seem awfully friendly lately. I think that they are dating."

"They have only known each other for a couple of weeks, not to mention Rex works for Willow now." John said, not really liking the idea of Willow dating Rex, even if he was Natalie's brother the guy was bad news. He was going to have to have a talk with his little sister about that.

"So? I knew you for 1 day and knew I wanted to be with you. Sometimes things happen." She said smiling at him. "Ok I really need to go now or I'm going to be late." With that she gathered her coat and purse, giving John a kiss left the station.
