She was sitting on a chair in between two beds. Her mom's right hand in her left and her dad's left in her right. Her bangs fell in her face but she made no move to tuck them back behind her ear.

Angela and Michael stood at the doorway. A nurse had gotten them ten minutes ago so they could try and get Alyvia out of the room again. Michael took a step into the room. Sixteen-year-old Alyvia looked up at him with her piercing blue eyes which shone with tears.

"Livs, come on. You've been here for four days. Molly is wondering where you all are. They said they would call us if they wake up. Let me take you home." He told her.

"No." She choked out. "You can't make me leave. I won't. They wouldn't leave if this was me and Molly instead of them. I'm not leaving." She said. She looked both of them in the eye to dare them to say otherwise. Angela sighed.

"Let me go tell the nurses she's staying again." She left and Michael walked up to Alyvia and squatted in front of her. He tucked his finger underneath her chin.

"Are you sure AJ? I can bring you home if you want."

She looked into his brown eyes. "I'm fine Mikey. I wanna stay." Michael leaned in and gently kissed her on the lips.

"I know. But I'm still worried about you. I love you."

"I love you too Mikey." Alyvia heard the click of her Aunt Angela's heels coming down the hall. Michael quickly walked back near the doorway.

"They're gonna bring your cot back in okay sweetie?" Angela walked in and kissed her on the forehead. "You call me if you need anything or if something happens. Okay?"

"Okay Aunt Angela."

"Promise?" Alyvia sighed.

"I promise." Angela swept Alyvia's bangs behind her ear and kissed her forehead again. "Thanks Aunt Angela." She whispered.

"No problem." Angela put her hand on Michael's arm and they walked out of the room, leaving Alyvia with her comatose parents.

"You guys need to wake up. Please?" She pleaded. She turned her head towards her mom.

"You promised me you would never leave. Both of you did." She looked at her dad.

"I don't want you to break your promise so early. And not at the same time either." A nurse walked in, her face cross, pushing a cot in front of her.

"Here you go. Try not to get in the way too much will ya?" She left and Alyvia let go of her parents' hands. She stood up and pushed her cot to the other side of the room as she had for the past four days.

She looked at both of her parents bandaged faces and bit back a sob. She laid down on the bed and closed her eyes.

She woke up to a loud beeping sound and voices.

"She's crashing. We need a crash cart in here!" A second beeping joined the first and Alyvia took in the scene. Her mother was crashing, and now, so wasn't her father.

"No. No!" She choked out. She rushed forward but and attending stopped her.

"Get her out of here!" A doctor yelled at the woman that held her.

"No!" She retaliated. The woman dragged her to the waiting room and helped her sag against the wall.

"No. No, no, no." She repeated over and over.

"Is there anyone I can call for you sweet pea?" Alyvia fought the urge to deck the woman. Only her dad was allowed to call her sweet pea and everyone who knew her knew that.

"I'm fine. I'll do it myself."

"Are you sure? I can do it for you sw-"

"I'm fine." She interrupted before she used the nickname again. The woman stood up and walked away. Alyvia pulled the piece of her baby blanket that her Aunt Angela had slipped into her hand a few days earlier.

When she was finally calmed down, she pulled out her phone and called her Aunt Angela.

"Hello?" Alyvia sobbed as soon as she heard the voice.

"T-they crashed. I-I was kicked out of the r-r-room. I. I don't know w-what's happening now." There was a beat of silence on the other end.

"We'll be there in ten minutes," Alyvia was then greeted by a dial tone. She shut her phone and closed her eyes.

She began to become restless and began pacing. She imagined that she looked exactly like her dad did when Molly was born. She wasn't there so she had nothing to compare it to. All of a sudden, she heard tiny footsteps.

"Livy!" A tiny voice called to her. She squatted down and Molly threw herself into her sister's arms and began crying. Alyvia looked to Angela who began explaining.

"Parker isn't in D.C. yet. He should be here within the next half hour to pick up Molly and hopefully you and take you back home." Alyvia began nodding and thinking thoughtfully.

"Wait, when did you call Parker?"

"We called Parker as soon as we found out that your parents were admitted into the hospital." Angela told her.

"Why did you call him home though? Lily's due any day now!"

Michael walked over to Alyvia and took a now sleeping Molly out of her arms to lay her across the waiting room couch. Angela walked Alyvia to the other side of the room in case Molly woke up.

"Parker will have that child's whole life to see them, but he only has the chance to say good-bye to his parents once." Alyvia's eyes quickly filled with tears and Michael stood up and pulled her into his arms before his mom could even react. She sobbed into his chest.

"T-they can't die Mikey. They just can't. They can't leave me and Molly alone."

"Hey." He put a finger underneath her chin and lifted her eyes to meet his.

"You will never be alone. You know that. I promised that a year ago when we started dating." He wiped away a tear with his free hand and quickly kissed her. "You'll have me, Aunt Cam, Parker and Lily, my mom and dad, your Uncle Russ and your Grandpa Max. You'll never be alone. Either one of you." He grabbed her hand and intertwined their fingers, his thumb rubbing small circles on the back of her hand.

"Thanks Mikey." He pulled her closer and held her until a doctor came in.

"Family of Temperance Brennan and Seeley Booth?" Alyvia immediately let go out Michael and walked up to the doctor.

"What happened? Are they okay?"

"I'm sorry I can't disclose this information to you, you're too young-"

"Apparently I'm not young enough to watch my parents crash, am I?" The doctor opened her mouth and tried to think of something else.

"Now. Let's try this again. What happened?" Alyvia said.

"Your mother and father crashed. We were able to save your mother and your father. We were able to save your mother and your father. We are unsure what caused your father's heart to stop, but your mother had gone into cardiac arrest."

"I know why dad's heart stopped," she thought. "Dad always swore that if mom died he wouldn't be too far behind, as soon as they said she was crashing, dad did too."

"We're also worried about your mother's brain function. Her heart was stopped much longer than your father's. At the moment her brain is functioning, and we'll check for damage when she wakes. Do you have any questions for me?" She added kindly at the end.

"No. Thank you. Can we go see them now? My little sister has been freaking out."

"Livy. Livy!" Molly kicked her way out of Michael's arms and ran to Alyvia's. Alyvia picked her up.

"Livy, can we go see mommy and daddy now?" Alyvia looked to the doctor who nodded.

"You, your big sister, and anyone else in your family can go sweetie." The doctor told Molly. The doctor looked towards Alyvia.

"Only 25 minutes for non family members. You and your sister can stay as long as you would like. I'll inform the nurses for you." Alyvia nodded.

"Thank you." The doctor smiled and walked away. Alyvia turned towards the waiting room where a very tired Parker now stood.

"Molly-boo. Go see Aunt Angela, okay?"

"Livy, I don't like it when you call me Molly-boo."

"Sorry Mols. Go see Aunt Angela though." Alyvia set her down and watched her five year old sister run towards their Aunt Angela.

"Livs." Parker opened his arms and Alyvia flung herself into them.

"Parks." She cried. Parker rubbed circles in her back and squeezed her.

"What happened? All I know is that mom and dad were in some kind of accident."

"They were on their way to a crime scene. I guess that there had been a bomb planted underneath the SUV near the trunk.

"It was set to go off once the phone was called. Aunt Angela said that, according to the video from the stop light they collected, dad had pulled over.

"He had gotten out right before the bomb went off and was near the front of the SUV which is why his burns aren't as bad as mom's." She paused.

"Mom has first and second degree burns all over her body. Dad has second and third. They both crashed, mom had a cardiac arrest and they don't know why dad did. They're also worried about mom's brain function."

Parker pulled her closer and she let silent tears fall down her face. She and Parker were very close. After Parker's mom had died in a car crash when he was thirteen, he had moved in with them and he and Alyvia had formed a bond.

"Come on." Parker put his arm around Alyvia's shoulder and walked over to Angela to pick up Molly with his free arm.

"Parker!" Molly cried. She leapt into his arms.

"Hey Mols." Molly gave him a kiss on the cheek and Parker looked to Angela. "I'm gonna bring them down. I'll come get you in a couple minutes." Angela nodded and kissed Parker's cheek.

"Okay Little Booth." Parker blushed at the use of his old nickname and led his sisters towards the room number Alyvia had told him.

Parker took a deep breath before he opened the door and reminded himself that he had his two little sisters. He pushed open the door and bit back a gasp as he pulled Molly's head into his shoulder.

On the right was his mom, her face red and swollen, her head wrapped up. Her arms were covered with the same wrapping but her hands poked out, and to Parker's amazement, were the same pale color as always.

On the left was his dad, the right side of his body bandaged and burnt. His face was not as red and swollen as his mom's, but it was bad enough.

As Parker took a step forward, his dad's eyes opened, and he began fighting the intubation the doctor's had put in. Parker quickly put Molly into Alyvia's arms, holding Molly's head down into her shoulder.

"I want you gone now."

"But Parker,-"

"No. Molly doesn't need to see this, now go! I'll come get you in a little bit." Alyvia nodded and quickly walked out of the room.

"Dad. Dad! Calm down." Parker put his hand on his dad's good shoulder. "Calm down!"

Parker pressed the button for help and a nurse came running in.

"Okay Mr. Booth. I need you to calm down so I can take out the tube. Keep on holding him like that please." She directed at Parker. She slid out the tube and placed a nasal tube in instead.

"I'll call in a doctor to come give him a checkup though. I also suggest you go get those two beautiful girls that came running out of here." The nurse walked out of the room.

Parker turned towards his dad. "Do you have any questions?"

"Where's Bones? I remember her being in the car with me." Parker moved out of the way so his dad could see her.

"No. No!" His heart monitor showed his increased pulse.

"Dad calm down. She's unconscious. Come on. Don't you wanna see Livs and Mols?" He nodded.

"Then calm down. Do you wanna know what happened now or later?"

"Now."

"You were on your way to a crime scene. They think that there had been a bomb planted underneath the SUV near the trunk.

"It was set to go off once the phone was called. Angela said that, according to the video from the stop light they collected, you had pulled over.

"You had gotten out right before the bomb went off and were near the front of the SUV which is why your burns aren't as bad as mom's." He paused.

"Mom has first and second degree burns all over her body. You have second and third. You and mom both crashed, mom had a cardiac arrest and they don't know why you did. They're also worried about mom's brain function."

Parker waited for his dad's reaction and wasn't surprised when his eyes filled with tears. He looked towards Bones.

"I'm sorry Bones. I'm so sorry."

"Do you still want me to go get Livs and Molly?"

"Please Parks." Parker started to walk out of the room.

"Parks wait!" Parker turned around.

"Why aren't you with Lily? Isn't she due any day?"

"They thought you were gonna die dad. Alyvia saw both you and mom crash."

"Why was she here?"

"Alyvia wouldn't let anyone make her leave. She sat here for days. I've been driving since they called me."

"Why didn't you fly?"

"That really didn't occur to me until I was in Kentucky. I was so bent on getting here that I just hopped in the car and left." Booth chuckled and then pressed the button that managed his pain medicine.

"Reminds me of when Bones went into labor with Molly. I was in Vermont on a case and totally forgot that I could just fly here instead of driving." Parker smiled.

"I'm gonna go get Livs and Molly okay?"

"Yeah. Sweet Pea looked pretty scared when she left."

As soon as Parker left, Booth pressed the button again, and sighed.

Parker walked into the room carrying a sleeping Molly in one arm, and Alyvia tucked underneath his other.

Alyvia looked up and ran up to her dad's good side and gave him a light hug. He wrapped his good arm around her while his bad hand pressed the pain medicine dispenser button.

"Hey Sweet Pea."

"Never stop calling me that dad. I always wanna be your Sweet Pea."

"Anything you want Sweet Pea." Booth rubbed her back.

"I was so scared dad. I'm still scared." Booth sighed.

"Your mom will be fine Sweet Pea. She's a lot stronger than me and I'm fine. It's just that she got hurt a little worse than I did. She should be waking up anytime. I promise." Alyvia pulled back.

"Don't make promises you can't keep dad. I watched you and mom almost break one of your promises today and it was not a good feeling."

"I'm making this promise Sweet Pea. Your mom will wake up eventually."

She hugged him again.

"Molly's been freaking out. You might wanna see her before Parker takes us home." Alyvia pulled away and sat in the chair next to her mom and held her hand.

"Bring Molly here Parks. Set her on my left side though." Parker stood up from the cot with Molly in his arms and placed her in the spot where he had told him.

"Molly. Princess, wake up." Molly opened her eyes.

"Daddy!" She snuggled closer into his side.

"I missed you daddy."

"I missed you too princess." She pulled herself away to look into her daddy's face.

"Daddy, why isn't mommy waking up?" Booth paused and thought about his answer.

"Mommy needs to sleep longer than daddy did princess."

"Okay daddy." She snuggled back into his side. Booth held her to his side and then when he felt her breathing even out, waved Parker over.

"Take them home Parks. All of you get some sleep. We'll still be here tomorrow. I'll call you if Bones wakes up. Call Lily and see how she's doing. She's probably worried sick about you Parks."

"Can do dad." Parker looked at the now sleeping Alyvia.

"Livs. Livs. You gotta help me walk you to the car okay?" She mumbled and Parker supported most of her weight as he picked up Molly and all three of them walked out of the room.

When they reached his car, he started to wake up Alyvia.

"Come on Livs. Time to wake up. I need you to help." She leaned against that car, holding Molly, as Parker opened the door. Parker took Molly from her arms and set her in the car seat he had from when he had always picked up Alyvia from day care.

Alyvia crawled into the front seat and Parker shut the door behind her. He slid into the driver's seat and began to drive back to his old home.
