"Sophie, my name is Dr. Temperance Brennan, and I'm a Forensic Anthropologist."
She just stared at Brennan, and then a smile spread across her face.
"Would you like to come home with me? I'll be your foster parent?" Temperance asked.
Sophie's smile just grew, and nodded. Booth swore that he might have seen a tear run down her cheek.
Brennan went and filled out some paperwork, and then took Sophie home with her. "So, I never really asked, but how old are you?" Brennan asked.
"I'm 13, and in seventh grade." Sophie replied. "I don't remember my parents. They dropped me off somewhere, and I ended up in the system." She said randomly.
"I know how you feel. Both of my parents disappeared when I was fifteen. But we found my mother…" Brennan said.
Sophie understood. She walked over and put a hand on Brennan's shoulder.
"At least you got to spend fifteen years with them" Sophie said with a smile. "So when will you enroll me into school?"
"How is next week?" She replied.
Sophie just nodded.
"How would you like to go to work with me until you go to school?" Brennan knew she would like that.
And her prediction was correct, with a reply of a gigantic smile.
The next day, they walked into the lab, and Brennan suddenly forgot something.
"Sweetie! Who's this little cutie?" Angela said with laugh.
"Angela, I'd like you to meet Sophie, she's my foster child." Temperance replied proudly.
Angela just squealed with delight and hugged Sophie like there was no tomorrow.
Angela hung out with Sophie so Brennan could do some paperwork. A little while later Brennan came to find the two girls. She found them sitting down, and Angela had a surprised look on her face. She only heard one sentence and she understood why. "You've never watched a cartoon before?!" Temperance could see Sophie shake her head no.
Brennan just laughed, and started to realize that Sophie was a lot like her.
She saw Booth walk in, and she saw him smile at the sight of Sophie.
"Hey Bones Junior!" Booth said with a chuckle.
"Hi." Sophie replied with a slight smile.
Booth spotted Brennan, and came up to her.
"She seems really happy. I think you made a really good decision about taking her in." Booth said.
Brennan went into another room to examine the skeleton they found the early this morning.
A couple hours later, Hodgins walked in. "Who is that girl sleeping on your couch in your office?"
"My foster kid. Her name is Sophie." Temperance replied.
"Nice. I think it's awesome that you took her in." Hodgins replied with a smile.
"I found cause of death, but I can't figure out a weapon." Brennan stated.
Sophie walked into the room. She looked at the skeleton, and then at the drawing of the woman next to her.
"I know the weapon." Sophie said.
Temperance just looked at her with a confused look.
"A hammer. The side of the hammer where you get the nails out."
Temperance looked at the skull, and nodded.
"I think your right. How did you know that?" She asked.
"When I was asleep, I dreamed about this woman being murdered."
