AN: I don't own Bones, I just love it!


CHAPTER 2- THE PAIN IN THE RECONSTRUCTION

THE NEXT MORNING:

I wake up to see Booth already standing up by the mirror dressed in his suit and tying his tie. He turns around to face me; he has obviously noticed that I was sitting up in bed.

"Hey good morning Bones." Booth laughs enthusiastically.

I smile "I think that I better get over to the Jeffersonian, the remains are just waiting to examined" I reply as I step out of bed and pull on a business shirt and some black slacks.

"Yes Bones the remains aren't going to examine themselves but you have to remember Parker is also over and we have to find out just what happened to Rebecca"

I nod "I'll speak to him over the breakfast table and you can research into Rebecca's whereabouts at work today"


I head down the stairs to find Parker, Christine and Sweets sitting around he table and eating bowls of rice bubbles.

"Good morning everyone" Booth says enthusiastically as he takes a seat next to Sweets at the table and flicks through the newspaper.

Sweets nods a good morning at Booth but the children say nothing because they were paying no attention to their father, they were in the middle of an intense Minecraft battle.

Booth turns to face Parker "Hey buddy off that device" he says as he leans over and takes the iPad out of Parker's hand.

"What dad, why'd you do that?" whines Parker.

Booth just shakes his head. "Buddy it's nothing to do with you we just need to discuss your mom okay?"

Parker nods "Have you found her yet dad?" he asks.

Booth just shakes his head "Nothing yet but I promise I'll search today"

Parker nods "That's okay I'm perfectly happy spending time with you guys"

The young boy obviously had no idea of what problems his mother could be facing out in the world.


"Dr Brennan, Dr Brennan I'm so glad you made it," cries a very enthusiastic Hodgins who seems to be chasing after me holding a plastic bag with some hair in it.

"Oh hello Dr Hodgins" I begin "What have you got there?" I ask pointing towards the evidence bag that he was clutching quite tightly.

"This…" he begins pointing to the bag "…is a hair sample from the victims corpse that was discovered by the office block the other night."

"Yes…" I gesture for him to continue.

"Angie is running it through the DNA database along with some blood samples that Cam had collated from what was left of the skin tissue"

I nod "Thank you Hodgins, can you please go try run the remnants of the clothing through DNA, we have to find the identity of this woman"

He nods and heads over to look at the clothing remains.

Good Hodgins was doing his job I just had to go and see Angela; she might have already gotten a hit on missing persons. I begin to walk over to Angela's office when Daisy comes running by holding a tray covered in small bones.

"Dr Brennan, Dr Brennan I think I have made a discovery on the victims age and past" cries Daisy running over to me eagerly.

I look at her irritated "Miss Wick I do believe that your finding may be relevant but please be more careful when carrying remains" I tell her.

She nods "Okay Dr Brennan I'll adjust my behaviour accordingly" she replies "So now can I tell you about my discovery?"

I nod and let Daisy lead me over to an autopsy table. She explains that the body must have been a mother considering that the bones showed that they had been through childbirth.

I nod and Daisy looks slightly depressed. "That poor child…" she begins sadly "They're going to have to grow up without a mother"

I look at Daisy; she had to stop being upset. "You have to dehumanise the bones Miss Wick" I tell her "While you look at them you have to pretend that they are not people" she nods but I can tell that she doesn't fully believe me.

"I wanted Lance and I to have a baby…" she begins but I leave the room before she could finish.

These remains were a priority right now, not Sweets and Daisy's failed romance.


"Bren, Bren I've found a face for our victim!" cries Angela as I walk into her office.

Angela was my best friend and I was the person that got her a job here at the Jeffersonian in the first place. She was originally just going to work here short term to save some money to go and be an artist in Paris but she ended up staying here permanently.

"Yes I am coming Ange" I reply as I look up at the big screen on which she did all of her reconstructions.

"I have found a face for the remains that were found last night" Angela begins "I made this reconstruction up and ran it through Codas"

Angela smiles as she puts a passcode into her tablet and lets the victim's profile appear on the screen. At first I just notice a blonde woman but then I see the name. Rebecca Stinson, I had Parker's mom's remains on the autopsy table in front of me.

I look at Angela. "That's Parker's mom Angela"

She just looks worried "Now what…" Angela asks "How are you ever going to break this news to Booth?"

"I'm so sorry Sweetie, Parker, oh no what are we gonna do about Parker?" Angela gushes.

I just shrug "Well it's not like he is going to be sent off to foster care like some people" I say referencing what I had to go through when I was only fifteen years of age.

"He has got me, Booth, Christine and my father" I reply, "We will all do our part to look after him"

"I know you will Bren but the poor kid that's a lot to go through at the age of twelve!"

"I suppose he can have a bit of a talk with his babysitter" I reply contently.

Angela just looks at me dumbstruck "Brennan a babysitter?" she asks "What is that gonna help him with?"

I just smile at her naivety "Angela don't you ever listen to me when I am speaking?" I ask.

"I do Bren…" she says trailing off.

I smile "Well I doubt that highly because if you did you'd know who Christine and Parker's babysitter is" I reply.

She just looks at me irritably "Who is it now Brennan?"

I just ignore her lack of knowledge and continue, "Sweets, the psychologist Lance Sweets is the babysitter"

Angela nods "So yeah are you going to have a shrink doing psychological profiles on Booth's son?" Angela asks me, clearly doubting my judgement.

"Yes why wouldn't I?" I ask.

Angela just shakes her head "Sweetie look at Booth for a moment do you think that he really wants Parker turned into a mini squint?" she asks obviously trying to put things into perspective for me.

I still look at her confused "Well believe me Booth won't mind this is a tragic event…" I begin but Angela cuts me off.

"Discuss it with Parker first to see what happens, if it ends bad then consult the specialist" she says giving my shoulder a pat.

I nod "I will discuss this matter as soon as I get home" I reply as I pick up my blue lab coat and turn to leave the room.


"Booth I have to speak to you quickly, in private!" I cry as I fling open the front door to our house and head inside.

I toss my trench coat down onto the sofa and glance over at him worriedly. Booth on the other hand didn't appear to be worried at all. He was just sitting at the table playing a game of Cluedo with Sweets, Parker and Christine. Christine was on Sweets' team.

"Yeah Bones watcha yelling about?" asks Booth looking up from the game.

"Booth I need you over here now!"

I had a feeling that Booth could sense the worry in my voice so he quickly stands up and tells Parker to take his turn for him. I beckon him into the entrance hall and he looks at me worriedly.

"Brennan is everything okay?" he asks "Did something bad happen to you at work today?"

"Well yes sort of…" I reply, unsure of how to begin. I was telling him life changing news after all. "

Yeah Bones continue it can't be that bad…" he urges me.

I nod slowly; Booth wanted me to get to the point so that is just what I did.

"It's about Rebecca" I continue.

Booth's eyes light up "So you know of her whereabouts?" he asks.

I nod "Yes but it's not where you'd expect"

"So where is she?" Booth asks eagerly shifting from foot to foot.

I look at him apologetically "Booth…she's…sort of on my autopsy table"

I see Booth's face suddenly change from eager to grim.

"I'm sorry Booth," I say.

Booth just embraces my shoulder. "It's fine Bones don't worry about it," he says putting on a sad face.

I feel bad as I leave the room but as I walk out I see Booth punching the air in a triumphant manner

"Ha Rebecca that's what you get for never letting me see my kid" he mutters enthusiastically.
