Alright well this is my first Bones story! I got the idea the moment I saw the car scene in The Doctor In The Picture episode. Hope you guys like it (:

"I don't want to have any regrets."

"I'm with someone, Bones, and Hannah, she's not a consolation prize. I love her… You know the last thing I want to do is hurt you, but those are the facts."

"I understand. I missed my chance." She dropped her head and started crying quietly. Booth looked over. "My whole world turned upside down. I can adjust.

He really hated seeing her upset. He had never seen her so sad before, and it broke his heart. He wanted to make the tears go away. Not knowing what else to do, he reached his hand out to her and lightly touched her shoulder comfortingly. She reached up and covered his big hand with her smaller one.

"it'll be ok Bones. You're not alone. And one day, you will find someone who will love you, and whom you will love back," he said reassuringly.

"But he won't be you," she said through a fresh wave of tears, her voice cracking. He hated himself for hurting her like this. He wanted to make everything better, but he didn't know how. His hand found its way up to her cheek, and he gently wiped the tears away with his thumb. She looked at him sadly, but his gesture had lighted a tiny spark in her. A small shred of hope that one day, maybe soon, maybe not, he would love her again, and give her another chance. And she decided then and there that she wouldn't let this one slip by her.

They pulled up in front on Brennan's apartment building, and Booth hopped out of the driver's seat and walked around the front of the car to open the door for her. They silently made their way up the steps to her door. Once they were standing in front of it, Brennan turned to Booth.

"I'm sorry," she said sadly. He knew what she was talking about: she was sorry for not giving him a chance and for breaking his heart.

She started to turn to unlock her door, but before she could, Booth pulled her into his arms. His embrace was warm and comforting, and made her a little less despairing.

After a while he pulled back. She looked up at him with big, watery eyes filled with sadness. He wished he could bring the light back in them. 'I can't ' he thought. 'I love Hannah, and even though I love Bones too, I couldn't do that too her.' He kept repeating 'I love Hannah' to keep himself from pulling Bones back into his arms and never letting go.

"Good night, Booth." she said as she turned the knob on her door and entered her apartment.

"Night Bones." he replied after her. He slowly walked back down the stairs, thinking about Bones and Hannah, and what could have happened if she hadn't said no so long ago.

The next day there were no cases, which was good for Brennan. She needed some time to get herself back together. Booth decided to take the day off so he could spend it with her.

He entered the Jeffersonian and walked to Brennan's office. He poked his head around the door and saw her sitting silently at her desk. This worried him because she never stops working. She should at least be filling out paperwork.

He walked into the office to make himself known, and set down a box of donuts. She smiled as he took a seat across from her.

"Mornin' Bones," he said brightly. "I brought you breakfast since I know you haven't eaten yet today." He smiled.

"Thanks Booth." She grabbed for the box and picked up a donut. Booth always knew how to make her feel better.

"There's no case today, what do you say we take the day off?" he asked hopefully.

"Booth I can't. There are things that need done."

"Nothing that can't wait till tomorrow," he said.

She knew he was right, but she never missed work, and she didn't know what she would do all day.

"Don't worry, Cam will understand. You had a stressful day yesterday, and you need a break. I already took the day off, so we're set!" Brennan couldn't help but smile at the thought of spending the whole day with Booth.

"Okay," she said, and took another donut. "After breakfast, I will go talk to Cam." Booth smiled victoriously.

15 minutes later when they had finished their meal, they got up to look for Cam. They found her in her office, looking over some documents. Brennan approached her desk slowly, and Cam looked up.

"Is there something I can do for you, Dr Brennan?"

"Yes, I would like to take the day off," she stated matter-of-factly. This took Cam by surprise, and worried her.

"Ok. You have my permission, but are you alright? You never take the day off." she said, concern showing on her face.

"Yes, I'm fine; Booth just thinks it would be good for me to take a break." Cam looked to Booth and he smiled affirmatively.

"Alright. Have fun," she dismissed.

That's the end of chapter one! Please review. I have more written, and will be posting soon!
