Here's a oneshot songfic for you all...I don't own anything! (I wish I did...)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Brennan."
"Bones…?"
"Booth? Are you okay? What's wrong?" Temperance said quickly, hearing her partner's distressed voice on the other end.
"I'm fine…I just…I needed to hear you tell me you love me."
He called her on the road
From a lonely cold hotel room
Just to hear her say I love you one more time
"Is that daddy?" Booth heard a child in the background.
"Yeah, honey. It's daddy." Temperance said. Booth could tell that she was choking on her words, and just hearing it made tears come to his own eyes. "Do you want to talk to him?" Booth drew a shaky breath as he heard the phone being passed.
But when he heard the sound
Of the kids laughing in the background
He had to wipe away a tear from his eye
"Hi daddy!" Booth heard his daughter's voice.
"Hi Madison." He said, trying to be brave and hold back his tears.
"Daddy, when are you coming home?" Maddie asked, her bubbly little voice carrying through the phone into Booth's ears and making him choke on his words.
A little voice came on the phone
Said daddy when you coming home
He said the first thing that came to his mind
"Baby girl, I…uh…" Booth began. "Madison…I'm already there."
I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
I'm your imaginary friend
And I know I'm in your prayers
Oh I'm already there
"Daddy?" Maddie said quietly. For a five-year-old, she could read people as well as her father, even though it was over the phone. "Are you there?"
"Yeah, princess. I'm here." Booth said, not wanting to depress his little girl anymore.
"Here's mommy. I love you, daddy." Maddie said.
"Love you too, Mads." Booth said before he heard the phone being passed again.
"Booth?"
"Hey Bones." He whispered. "How you been?"
"Fine."
"How's Madison and Parker--"
"I miss you." Temperance interrupted him. "And don't worry about the kids. They'll be alright…"
She got back on the phone
Said I really miss you darling
Dont worry about the kids theyll be alright
"Temperance…" Booth said, trying to stop her rambling. "I love you. I wish I was there beside you." I know that in your dreams I'll kiss your lips. So…Bones…babe…" Booth said, trying to keep his composure. "Just turn out the light and then I'll be with you."
Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside you
"I know that in your dreams…I'll be with you. So…Bones…babe…" Booth said, trying to keep his composure. "Just turn out the light and then I'll be with you."
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
And I'll gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes
"Seeley…" Temperance said. Booth closed his eyes and could see Temperance's face with tears running down her cheeks.
I'm already there
Dont make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And Ill be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there
"Bones. No matter how far apart we are…"
"We'll always be together." Temperance finished.
We may be a thousand miles apart
But Ill be with you wherever you are
Temperance held Maddie's hand and walked towards the gray piece of cement, Parker following close behind her. She took a deep breath and set Madison down on the ground. The now seven-year-old took a couple steps forward and sat down on the grass in her normal spot.
"Hi daddy." Maddie said as she traced her father's name on the tombstone. "I know you've been in heaven for a couple years, but I hope you know that I still come every Wednesday."
"She does, dad." Parker spoke up. "She even missed a ballet recital…" He added quietly.
"I miss you, Booth." Temperance said. Maddie looked up behind her and saw tears in her mother's blue eyes.
"Daddy…I remember the last time I talked to you on the phone." Maddie said. "Momma says its 'cause I got your good memory…"
"Maddie reminds me what you told her every time I miss you." Temperance said. Parker realized how much pain she was in and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Which is a lot, dad." Parker said. "We all miss you so much." The eleven-year-old said, trying to be brave for his little sister.
"'Member what I told you, Parker." Maddie said, tracing 'beloved husband and father' on the tombstone. "He's already here."
I'm already there
Temperance smiled down at her daughter as Maddie leaned forward and kissed the surface.
Take a look around
Parker saw how much Maddie looked like his father from behind when the sun shone in her curly brown hair. As soon as she turned around, Parker could see the bit of Temperance in Maddie's bright blue eyes.
I'm the sunshine in your hair
"Come on kids." Temperance said. Maddie nodded and stood up. She grabbed her mother's hand and began to walk back to the car.
When Temperance realized that Parker wasn't following, she turned around. He was still standing in front of his father's grave, his shadow crossing on the name.
I'm the shadow on the ground
Parker remained standing and staring down for a couple minutes before the wind started blowing and making his blonde curls move in rhythm. Because of the trees surrounding the graveyard, the wind started whistling and howling.
I'm the whisper in the wind
By the time the tears started rolling down Parker's cheeks, Madison had walked up to him and was standing and looking into his eyes that matched her own.
And I'll be there until the end
Parker had been happy when he found out his stepmother was pregnant, but he had no idea just how much one little girl would change his life.
Can you feel the love that we share
"Come on, Parker." Maddie said, holding her small hand out and smiling up at him. Her older brother couldn't help but smile as he walked with Maddie back to where Temperance was waiting patiently.
Oh I'm already there
Temperance stood and faced her children and smiled, tears still in her clear blue eyes. Maddie slowly moved forward and hugged her mother's waist, bringing Parker with her.
Oh I'm already
"He's always here with us, mommy."
There
