Correction Needed

Author's Notes: Thank you to the reader who pointed out the contradictions in my story. I forgot that I had already mentioned Hodgins other living relative in chapter 18. So I've had to revise my last chapter (25)

The differences were:

Chapter 18: a cousin named Elleanna with Down Syndrome; Booth knew Hodgins was worried about the amniocentesis that Angela needed to have. The facts in this chapter will remian the same.

Old Chapter 25: a younger sister named Annalisa, the amniocentesis results now known, Bren learns about Hodgins (cousin) and she tells Booth because he didn't know when he actually did… oops. The facts in this chapter will change.

An excerpt from Chapter 18 read:

"What did I miss?"

"I'm not the only living relative in my family," admitted Hodgins.

"You're not?" asked Booth.

"No. I said I was the only heir. I have another relative, but technically, she isn't an heir even though she's family. She doesn't take care of her own finances. The Cantileiver group takes care of it and I suspect they always will."

"Okay… So, something must have happened to cause you to think about it now," Sweets rationalized.

"Angie has to have some test to see if there is something wrong with the baby."

"Bones said the odds are against that especially since you don't have a family history…" Booth's mouthed formed an "O" as understanding dawned.

"Elleanna is a cousin who lives in an assisted living center in Virginia. She has Down Syndrome."

"Wow. That's huge. How's Angela handling it?" asked Sweets.

"She doesn't know."

"It's my professional and personal opinion that you shouldn't wait too long. It'll just keep getting worse."

The former and incorrect scene from Chapter 25 (In case you want to reread it.):

(The new scene is after this one.)

"Would you like to talk about Angela? You're obviously very worried about her."

"Angela and Hodgins got the results back from the amniocentesis. They didn't get good news."

"The baby? Is it alright?" Brennan shook her head. "What's wrong?" he whispered.

"She has Down Syndrome."

"Oh," was all he said. What was there to say? It's not something I've ever had to deal with.

"That's not all, Booth."

What else could possibly be wrong? The news was frightening enough.

"Hodgins has a sister."

"What? That can't be. He told us years ago that he was the sole heir of the Cantilever group."

"That's technically correct. His sister isn't an heir, but the board provides for her care."

"I don't understand," admitted Booth.

"Hodgins has a younger sister. Her name is Annalisa. She was born with Down Syndrome."

"Where… Where has she been all these years?"

"I don't know. Booth, I'm not good at these kinds of things. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know if I should ask questions. I need your help."

"Bones, I don't think this is something anyone is prepared for. My guess is that parents learn as they go along. And they probably meet new people who are experiencing the same thing. I think the best thing we can do for them is to be there, not shy away and act frightened. And a hug goes a long way."

"Yeah. Your hugs do help. I've never been the type to give hugs, though."

"She's one of your best friends. I think you'll find it natural when she needs you most."

"Thank you, Booth."

The new scene from chapter 25:

"Would you like to talk about Angela? You're obviously very worried about her."

"Angela and Hodgins got the results back from the amniocentesis. They didn't get good news."

"The baby? Is it alright?" Brennan shook her head. "What's wrong?" he whispered.

"She has Down Syndrome."

"Oh," was all he said. What was there to say? It's not something I've ever had to deal with.

"That's not all, Booth. Hodgins has a cousin with Down Syndrome. I think she said her name is Ellie. I don't understand why this was a secret. I thought he was the only one left in his family."

"The night you went to Texas, I went out and had drinks with Sweets and Hodgins. Hodgins was worried about that test Angela needed. I found out then about his cousin."

"Why didn't you tell me?

"I just haven't thought about it. I was more interested in the case."

"Is that all?' she asked a smile and tilted head.

"Noooo." I've definitely been distracted by a very beautiful and intelligent crime solving anthropologist who's working on those cases."

"Good answer."

He chuckled and gave her a quick chaste kiss on the lips.

"So what about the Cantilever group? I thought Hodgins was the sole heir?"

"That's technically correct. His cousin isn't an heir, but the board provides for her care."

"Where has she been all these years?"

"I can't remember exactly. Virginia, I think. She lives in some type of assisted living housing."

"I don't know what to say to Angela, Booth. I'm not good at these kinds of things. I didn't know what to say to her on the phone. I didn't know if I should ask questions. I need your help."

"Bones, I don't think this is something anyone is prepared for. My guess is that parents learn as they go along. And they probably meet new people who are experiencing the same thing. I think the best thing we can do for them is to be there, not shy away and act frightened. And a hug goes a long way."

"Yeah. Your hugs do help. I've never been the type to give hugs, though."

"She's one of your best friends. I think you'll find it natural when she needs you most."

"Thank you, Booth."

So, as a wrap up, Hodgins has a cousin named Elleanna who they call Ellie. She lives in an assisted living center in Virginia. She has Down Syndrome. (Chapter 18 facts stay the same) Now we know the baby Angela and Hodgins are expecting also has Down Syndrome. (Chapter 25)

In the next chapter, Booth and Bones will be back in D.C.

Author's Note: Sorry for the big error. I guess 3 chapters in one day wasn't such a good idea. Too much rushing.
