A/N: Ok it has been pointed out that my story is a little bit of a stretch and to be honest I have to agree. Booth is 35 and he has a 16 year-old sister. There is an age difference of 19 which is not all that uncommon, but still hard to believe. I think that in the story I will have to do a lot of explaining to make this work out, but in the end I believe it will. Please don't be put off by this because I promise I will fix it up and put a nice little bow on it.

It was also pointed out that it is unrealistic that Booth would not take responsibility for his youngest sibling as he did with Jared. This will be explained.

Also to comment on my writing style. Yes I do switch view points very often and without indication. I'm sorry if this bothers you, but that is how I like to write and I think it helps the readers to pay better attention to get the whole thing. If this continues to be a problem for any or all of you please let me know and I will fix it, but for now I will leave it as is and hope that you continue reading.

We arrived at the Jeffersonian at about nine o'clock the next day. This was after buying a lot of coffee of course. Apparently both of us had had a rough night.

We entered at the same time as Dr. Brennan and when Seeley said good morning she did not look at him but simply replied with another good morning. She was still pissed apparently. Then something unexpected happened. She turned to me and said, "Good morning, Tori."

"Good morning, Dr. Brennan."

"You can call me Tempe, sweetheart."

"Ok."

"So how was your night?"

"Good. You?"

"Same as usual. Have any plans for today?"

"I was just going to hang out with Angela. My brother said that you guys had some important paper work that you had to do."

"Yeah, but maybe you would like to eat lunch with us?"

"Sure thing."

"I'm looking forward to it." Then she and Seeley went to her office and Angela ran over to me.

"What's wrong? You look confused," Angela was good at reading people apparently. That might get me someday and I'll have to be on the lookout.

"No it's just that she was really nice to me. I'm not used to that."

"Well get used to it, because I am going to give you the star treatment."

"What exactly does that entail?"

"Basically, being Hodgins fiancé and all, I'm going to get you anything you want. That means fancy restaurants and clothes and everything."

"You don't have to do all that just because you feel sorry for me. And I'm kind of a small town girl anyways."

"I don't feel sorry for you. This is all because you are Booth's sister."

"You want dirt on my big brother?"

"Desperately."

"All you had to do was ask."

She put her arm around my shoulders and we walked to her office.

Back in Dr. Brennan's office there was almost complete silence. This of course was eating Booth alive. He couldn't focus and he desperately wanted to say something.

"So Bones…"

"We need to finish this Booth, no time for talking."

"But we usually talk while we do paper work and we always finish."

"Yes at midnight. I would like to finish this today so that I can go home at a reasonable hour tonight."

"Well then can we play some music or something?"

"I can't focus with music playing."

"Well I can't focus without it."

"To bad."

"Look, Bones, I agreed to your terms and I will do all that soon enough. So there is no reason for you to be mad at me."

"Booth it's just a little for me to accept what you did to your sister. Of all the people in the world you would be the last person I would have thought of to do that."

"Do you want to know why I did what I did Bones?"

"Yes I do."

"Alright, well I didn't help my sister because I was afraid of my dad! That's right, I, Seeley Booth, am a coward!"

"You're not a coward Booth."

"Yes I am. I couldn't stand up to my old man and my little sister suffered the consequences! It's my fault what has happened."

"Why didn't you tell me about her though?"

"I don't know, I just thought that if nobody knew then the whole thing would somehow go away. My dad just scared me into not telling or something."

"Why does your dad scare you so much, Booth?"

"I don't want to get into that right now, Bones. Let's just try to do some paper work." He sat back down on her couch and she turned some music on.

Another A/N: So that answers the question of why he did it. But I think it raises a few more questions. You will all know soon enough I promise.
