I laid on the hospital bed with the breathing machine down my throat I hated that I had been so weak to let myself collapse a lung. He stood there beside my bed, there was fear and concern in his eyes. The woman I came to know as Dr. Brennan she was his girlfriend or something. They had been arguing over me and I was getting tired of it, for the past two days all I heard was them arguing. Finally the doctor came in.

"Ah Agent Booth her vitals look great, we can take her off the machine now."

"Good I want some answers"

He looked at me,

"Exhale as I pull ok?"

I nodded and coughed when it was finally out, I sighed.

"How are you feeling?"

"Can I have some water?"

"Yes you will get to go home soon"

He said pouring me water, I rolled my eyes, that sounded like a real blast.

"If you need anything let the nurse know."

"Can I take a shower?"

"Yes I just the C.N.A. know when your ready so she could help you."

I nodded and look at the two in the room, Seeley looked at me and sat beside me, I stared at him and sat up slow, it was painful but I dealt with it, he looked concerned.

"What is your mother's name?"

"You have been arguing over my identity for the past two day's dude, I think you know who I am and my mother as well."

He stared at me I didn't know what he was thinking I sighed.

"Look I just wanted to see you once, I wanted to know what I look like, and where I came from, it wasn't m intention to interfere with your life."

He stared at me, and blinked at me.

"You could never do that you're my daughter, and I know because bones took a paternity test."

I stared and looked at the women, she smiled I sighed and looked at him,

"I'm going to take care of you ok; you're living with me now."

"I didn't come here for that, don't feel obligated."

"Hey I would never turn my back on my family."

I stared at him and said nothing.

"Um thanks Seeley."

He frowned and I stared at him, we just spent the rest of the hospital time asking each other questions and learning about each other. I was making some pancakes for Seeley and me I mixed in some chocolate chips and bones walked in.

"Hi bones"

"Good morning Natsumi."

I was in my layers of cloths, she was really nice and understanding on why I wore so many layers, I had significant bruises and scars, on my body. Burns on my legs and thighs, and whip and defensive marks on my wrists.

"Are you going to come to the Jeffersonian today?"

"Why would I do that?"

Booth took a week off of work to spend time with me and get me settled in.

"Because Booth has to go back to work today, I assumed since he would not leave you here alone you would be coming to the Jeffersonian"

I stared and placed Seeley's pancakes on the table. He came in and smiled.

"Thanks kid."

I smiled and placed a plate in front of bones, she took a bite.

"Oh my god theses pancakes are wonderful."

I smiled and was standing in socks

"so Natsumi I have to get to work so I want to take you to the Jeffersonian, don't worry everyone will be nice to you ok"

I looked at him and sighed, he smiled and waited,

"Do you want to go?"

"Well I guess I mean I don't know anything or any one what am I supposed to do?"

"You can stay in my office if you would like"

"So you want to lock me in bones' office for a whole day?"

"No it's just you know I can't take you with me to do field work, the Jeffersonian is the only safe place I trust"

"You make them sound like their aliens or something"

"Look I trust the squints ok, and I know cam and Angela will look after you, you won't be board."

"I concur my team will be quite accepting of you and have been looking forward to meeting you."

I stared that made me feel a whole lot better, these people wanted to meet me, I'm sure I was a great scuttlebutt around the cooler.

"So am I the top scuttlebutt?"

"I do not understand?"

"Its military jargon mean gossip."

"Oh no you're just a intriguing topic around the Jeffersonian"

I stared at them and sighed going to Seeley/my room, I had not even half a closet of half the closet of cloths. So about one fourth of the closet was mine, I was way too good with numbers. Good thing I tested out and got my diploma
