Leonard laughs a little, feeling at ease with the situation he leans down and kisses Jim. "Ya know...meeting her is gonna be a big step Jim. You sure you're ready for that?" He had to ask, as much as he loves Jim, he has to put Jo first.

"Well, you would have to leave Georgia." Jim said. "So you would technically be going away..but you'd be coming to live with your Daddy...and me, on my ship. You'll get to see lots of interesting planets and stars and I might even let you fly the ship a bit." He winked at Jo.

The little girl squealed. "Really?! I get to go live in space?!" When Jim nodded, her responding squeal could have broken glass. "I HAVE THE BEST DADDIES EVER!"

Jim shot Bones a shocked grin, his heart twisting in his chest until he forgot to breathe for a few seconds.

Leonard laughs a little. "Calm down sweetie, yes you get to come live with in on a space ship." He hugs her, and she scrambles into his lap, betting ice-cream on Leonard's shirt, he rolls his eyes and tries to wipe it off but just shrugs.

"Daddy, I want to live with you and Jim in space I really do, I want to go into space, but is it up high? I don't like hights." She says taking a lick of her ice-cream.

"No baby, it's not up high, right really." He gives her a white lie, they will deal with that later.

He looks up and smiles at Jim. "You okay? You look like you are about to faint."

"I-..um..yeah." Jim nodded. Jo seemed to have a thought then. "Daddy, I can't have two Daddys! That's confusing...Jim needs another name."

"Jim needs to get Jo a bowl for her ice cream before she gives hm more laundry to do." He laughed, sliding out of the booth and getting a bowl from the clerk, returning with it and a spoon. Jo handed him her cone and he set about scraping the ice cream into a bowl.

"Daddy, what did you call your Daddy? You only had one, right?"

"I called my daddy, dad, or pop, but you can call Jim whatever you come up with as long as it's okay with Jim okay?"

"Okay." She says starting to think and digging in on her ice-cream, humming happily.

"Are you okay Jim?" He smiles at him. He wasn't going to tell him, his mother wanted them to come stay at her house.

"I'm great, Bones." Jim grinned, reaching across the table to grab both of Bones' hands in his. "When do you wanna leave for Virginia?"

"Virgina?" Jo asked and Jim nodded.

"I have a house up there. Your Daddy and I are on vacation right now and we thought you'd like to go stay there with us for a little while, ride some horses, have some barbecues and stuff, before you came to live with us. Who knows, you may decide you'd rather go to boarding school than live with my snoring and bad jokes." he winked and Joanna giggled.

"Its okay, Daddy tells bad jokes too. And," she leaned over to whisper to Jim. "His feet stink."

Jim laughed. "Yeah, I know."

Bones shakes his head and laughs a little.

"We can leave tomorrow, tonight we've gotta go to my mom's house, she kind of demanded it." He shrugs smiling a little, "We can leave tomorrow, or the next day."

"We are goin' to gran's tonight?" Jo smiled, "She sneaks me cookies when she thinks you're not lookin' "

"I know..." Leonard laughed.

"Do you think she'll sneak me cookies to, Jo?" Jim joked, trying to cover up his nervousness. Meeting Bones' daughter after months of preparing to ask and weeks of preparing to actually do so was one thing. Meeting his mother with absolutely no notice was something entirely different.

"You don't have to sneak cookies, Jim! You're a grown-up!" Jo said matter-of-factly.

" 'm sorry to spring this on you Jim...but I haven't seen my mom in awhile, and the only time Jo gets to see her is when she is with me. She's going to love you as much as I do, you know." He smiles reassuringly at Jim. "Anyway you'll get to see where I grew up."

"Yeah..." Jim nodded. He was starting to fall into his own nervous revelry.

Jo doesn't let that happen though. "Daddy, I finished my ice-cream!" She grinned, holding up the empty bowl to Bones. "Can we show Jim Gran's house now?!"

"Yeah JoJo, lets go. " He smiles, like he can't keep one off his face for more then a minute. He wipes her face with a napkin and lets her climb off of his lap.

"Jim. 'm sorry this got sprung on you." He says taking the other mans hand, and they walk to the car.

"Its cool." Jim shakes his head, watching Joanna skip along ahead of them. "I sprung a custody battle on you so I figure we're even..." he mumbles.

Jim opens the back door of the car, letting Joanna climb in. She straps her own seatbelt while the two men buckled themselves into the front seats.

"Yeah Jim we're even..." He smiles, then whispers to Jim as they are driving. "She might be doing well now, but I don't think she fully understands that she isn't gonna see much of her Ma anymore Jim...so at some point we should be ready for a freak out."

He drives a long for about 30 minutes Jo falling asleep in the backseat, as the houses get further and further apart, 15 more minutes and they are pulling up to Leonard's childhood home. Chickens are wandering around outside, there is a paddock off to the left with a horse grazing, you can see a slightly over grown garden spilling out from behind the house.

"Here it is Jim."

Jim nodded. "Well she was prepared to go off to boarding school and only see her less than she's gonna see her with the arrangement we have worked out now, so it may not be too bad. But you're right, I'll keep an eye out."

Jim gazed out the window, grinning a little. "Its gorgeous, Bones. Very you. Why don't you take Jo inside and let your mom know I'm here and I'll bring the bags?"

Bones turns off the car and laughs a little Jo still asleep in the back seat, he leans over and kisses Jim. "Very Me?"

Jim nodded. "Very home, very close knit family, loving kind of thing..." Looking back at Jo, then up at Bones, he smiled. "I can see why she loves it here so much."

Turning, he reached back to stroke a hand over the sidde of her hair. "Jojo? We're here..."

Much like her father, she bats the hand away and mumbles something and stays asleep.

Leonard laughs a little. "Jo...we're at Gran's." She sits up when she hears the word Gran, and is unbuckling her seatbelt and bolting from the car, hollering out to her grandma, scattering Chickens across the yard.

"She's not the easiest girl to wake up." Leonard laughs a little, getting out of the car, and moving to the trunk, of the car to get the bags.
