"Nate," a very quiet voice said. He looked from his book to see Parker standing in front of him.
"What is it Parker, here sit," he said gesturing to the chair next to him, concern lacing his voice. She reminded him of his little girl, so sweet and innocent, she even had a bunny that looked a lot like hers.
"Well, ummmm, it's just that, well, I was wondering if, uh, nevermind. I'm just being stupid," she got up and started walking away but Nate grabbed her wrist gently.
"Parker, you can come to me or Sophie, for absolutely anything. We're here for you."
She nodded and sat back down. "I know that you and Sophie are the closet things I'll ever get to parents. I mean, you let me live with you, and you make sure that I'm not in danger, and all of that stuff. But, I want, well, I want to, umm," she struggled to say the words she was thinking.
"Find your biological parents," Nate supplied. Parker nodded.
"Will you help me," she asked.
"No." Her face fell. "We're going to help you. Sophie, Eliot, Hardison and myself."
She smiled hugely and gave him a hug, "Thank you Daddy."
