Joy did not like doctors, especially men.

But Sweets was different from all the doctors she met.

He was a fool.

And he looked awkward while talking to his mother.

They asked her to choose a toy from her backpack while they talked outside the door.

Joy knew that Temperance and the doctor was talking about her, she didn't like talking to people about the bad things that happened to her, but she knew she had to do it to continue with Her Tempe.

—Did you already choose? (Temperance asked after returning to the office and sitting on the couch)

The girl nodded and went back to sit beside her on the couch.

—Which one did you choose? Dr. Brennan said you have a lot of cool toys. (Sweets said)

—The Barbie that Miss Angela gave me. (Joy murmured and showed him the doll) She is beautiful and she is smart, because she has several professions.

—How cool. (He smiled) Today we're not going to talk about anything okay, we're just going to meet, right?

—Okay .. (She murmured and started to touch the doll's hair without looking at the man)

Sweets bent down in front of Joy and smiled at her as soon as she looked at him.

—My name is Lance Sweets and I work as an FBI psychologist with Booth and Dr. Brennan.

—I am Jolene Joy and I am a Daughter of Tempe and I want Booth to be my father. (She said as she touched the doll's hair)

Sweets frowned and looked at Temperance who just shrugged, they would talk about it at the end of the session.

—Booth, do you like him a lot? (He asked after sitting on the floor and picking up a small box of toys)

—Yes, he is very nice. (Joy said while looking at the box) Booth is a friend and Parker is my best friend.

—Okay, that's very cool. (He smiled and wrote in his notebook that was in the chair behind him) What do you think if we both play a little? The doctor Brennan said you like dinosaurs, right?

The girl nodded and sat on the floor to play with the doctor.

She looked at her mother who smiled and gave her confidence, she would not leave.

He was really the weirdest doctor in the world.

Booth was in the middle of several roles, he loved his job, but the bureaucracy he hated.

He was in the office for an hour.

Until his cell phone rang.

Seeing Bones's name on the ID he smiled and answered.

- Hi Bones, did something happen? (He said)

—It's Joy! (The girl said and laughed) We are in the in the building of your work,and I was wondering if I can come and visit you.

—Of course you can, I'll be waiting for you.

—Yay! So we're going up." (Joy said excitedly)

Booth hung up the phone and arranged the papers on his desk.

He would see his girls ahead of schedule and that made him very happy.

And soon he heard the sound of quick steps and little Joy running up to him)

—Booth! (The girl screamed and ran to Booth's lap)

—Hey baby Bones! (He kissed her cheek and placed her on his lap) Did you like your appointment with Sweets?

—Yes, he is a lot of fun! We played Barbie dinosaur (She said excitedly), even though people and dinosaurs didn't live in the same period. (She rambled

—I knew you were going to get along, you are the same age." (Booth said and tickled her)

Temperance appeared shortly afterwards at the office door.

—Sorry the invasion. (Temperance said as soon as she came in) but as soon as she heard you work here, she wanted to see you.

—Because I miss you so much! (Joy said and kissed Booth's cheek)

—I miss you too, baby Bones." (He said and kissed her cheek)

Joy looked at Booth's office quickly and had already decided that the place was cool.

—Your office is awesome. (The girl said) Can I have a little play here?

—Sure.(Booth said and moved the computer quickly, leaving a program that she could handle)

—Can we talk a little?(Temperance asked) while she plays.

—Of course. (He got up and put the girl on the chair) Why don't you play at being the special agent baby Bones? Type some reports for me. (He put a blank sheet and a pen in front of her)

—Okay! (The girl said)

Booth and Bones moved away from the girl a little, but watched her pretend to type on the computer.

—Did something happen?(He asked worriedly) Something at her appointment?

-No, it was okay, better than okay. (She said nervously) But we didn't see each other for two weeks and things change a lot in two weeks ..

- We haven't changed, the center remains. (Booth said and took her hand) What happened?

Temperance looked Booth in the eye and decided to say it all at once.

—I..I want you to read all the reports about Joy and I want you to think about whether you want to continue in her life. (Temperance said and looked away at the girl) If you want to be an active part of her life, do you understand?

—How so Bones? (Booth asked confused)

—She is creating illusions about you. (Temperance stared at him) She thinks you will take care of her like you do with Parker, that when you are with Parker she will be together..she thinks you will be the father she dreams of .. and as much as I explain that she shouldn't think like that, she does.

—Bones, what do you want me to do about it?

—I want you to read her file and think about it, if you want her in your life and all the implications for her or ..

-Or what?

—I will take her away from you and as painful as it is, I will walk away from you. (She said)

—Do you… do you really consider that? (He said anxiously)

—For my daughter's sake, I consider. (She stared at him) Read the file and think… I know I shouldn't pressure you or make you do something you don't want to, but I was already thinking about it and Sweets helped me to see the obvious (She sighed) She needs someone constant, and she needs a good male figure, something like a father .. (She looked away from her daughter) She needs someone to trust,Someone who will stay, do you understand?

- I understand (He took her hand again and gave it a little squeeze) Bones, I'm going to read and think.

—Call Sweets, he can advise you on that .. (She looked at him) But know, she really loves you. (Temperance turned to daughter) Come on JJ, we have a lot to do in the lab.

—Okay, I'm going." (She said and dropped the pen.)

The girl got down from the chair and ran to the adults.

—Bye Booth. (Temperance Said) Call me when you decide something.

- Okay. (He bent down on the girl's size) Did you like it here?

—Yes! Is it cool, are you the boss?"

—No, but it's still cool, right? (He said and the girl nodded)

He looked at the little girl who had two beautiful braids on her head, she was the most beautiful girl in the world.

—See you later? (Joy asked expectantly)

—Sure. (He hugged her)

—'Kay,I love you Booth.(She said as soon as she released him)

Seeley stood up and smiled as he watched the girl and her mother walk away from him a second time in the morning.

He would read the file, but he already had the answer in his mind: He would not leave the girl.

Temperance and Joy arrived at Jefersonian and after a brief tour of the laboratory floor the two went to Temperance's office.

Temperance It had some accumulated work and some bones to see.

And his mind did not cooperate, as he stayed with Booth and what he would decide.

She knew she shouldn't throw something like that at him, but she had thought about it too long and after talking to Sweets in the morning, she knew he had to decide something.

Joy couldn't live fantasizing that Booth would one day be her father and Parker her brother.

Booth had his own life, his son and a girlfriend.

She was stressed, tired and frustrated.

And it wasn't even 11 am ..

—Are you okay, Mommy? (Joy asked after approaching Temperance's table)

—Just thinking too much about some matters. (Temperance said and patted Joy's back.) Don't you want to go stay with Aunt Ange for a while? I have a lot of things to do and I bet she has a fun activity for you.

The girl nodded.

And then Temperance took her to Angela's office and taught her the way there.

When she entered, besides Angela she found Cam.

—Doctor Brennan I would be looking for you already. (The woman said)

—Okay.(Temperance said and held the daughter in front of him) Joy, this is Dr. Saroyan, and the head of the Jeffersonian forensics division.

—It's nice to meet you .. (The girl murmured)

—Equally." (She smiled at the little girl and then turned to Temperance) She won't break anything right?

—Joy has exemplary behavior, right? (Temperance looked at his daughter who nodded)

—And I only allowed it to be an extraordinary case." (Cam said and looked at Angela) Yours will be in the nursery.

"Okay, I know.(Angela said and rolled her eyes) Come on Joy, let's see what your Uncle Hodgi is up to.

—Can I go? (Joy asked looking at mother)

—Of course. (Temperance smiled) I'll go to work.

Joy walked over to Angela but came back.

—Where can I find you if I need to?

—Office, in the bone room or on the platform. (Temperance said the girl)

—Okay, I love you.

Temperance kissed her head and saw the little girl leaving with Angela.

—And how is she doing? (Cam asked as they walked to Temperance's office)

-Well, better than expected .. (Temperance Said) She has been doing extremely well with home studies, better than I imagined and her social interactions will improve over time, she spoke to you without hiding, it's a big step ..

—Okay, I'm happy for her.(Cam smiled and the two stopped in front of the door) I hope she was well enough to attend school soon, as it is not appropriate to have a child on the premises.

- I know, soon she will be ready. (Brennan said) Now, excuse me.

She entered the office itself and after sitting down in her chair and laying her head on the table she let out a long breath.

She thought things would be easier.

But everything in her life was complex, including her daughter.

Booth read Joy's file and took several minutes to recover.

He couldn't believe it and could barely cope with the fact that an adult man was hurting a little girl.

He wanted to kill the bastard.

If he was not already in prison he would probably hunt the man down in hell if necessary.

Now he can get a clear view of Joy and his strange behaviors.

Her suspicious eyes for men and her fear of being abandoned ...

Temperance seriously thought he was going to abandon the girl why does he know her history?

He would not abandon her.

He couldn't imagine a scenario that Bones and Joy were not part of.

His two-week vacation seemed more torture than vacation, as he was away from them and his son.

But he had to think ..

Was he ready to dedicate himself to the girl and not hurt her?

Was he ready to adopt you as his daughter?

He had to think.

It was the longest morning of his life, but at noon he already had a decision.

And before warning Bones, he had to speak to someone else who would be affected by his decision: Hannah.
