Hello and welcome to my first attempt at a Bones Fanfic!
Pairings: Eventually Booth/Bones, Angela/Hodgins
Disclaimer: I own nothing... but the cloths I'm wearing :(
Description: When Dr. Temperance Brennan is forced on a three week vacation and believes it will be boring and uneventful. That is until her FBI partner, Seeley Booth, begs her to look after his son Parker while he's away at conference. During his time with her, Brennan learns how to truly love someone and opens a lot of doors for her and gives her the ability to help others close, thus proving the point, cold hearts can melt.
One Last Note: Please review if you like (or even don't like!!) because I'm still considering whether or not to continue this story and your feedback is very important in making that decision :) Signed, GallopGirl.
"What?" Dr. Temperance Brennan questioned, her voice quivering with annoyance.
Dr. Camille Saroyan took a deep breath before starting again.
"Worker's Rights laws clearly state each employee must receive and use every year a three week vacation. I've been looking through your records and in all your time her at the Jeffersonian Institution you've not once taken vacation…"
"There was that time I went to the desert" Brennan cut in.
"And what exactly did you do on your 'vacation' to the desert Dr. Brennan?" she questioned, slightly irritated about being interrupted.
Brennan sighed.
"Helped Angela find her murdered boyfriend…"
"Now you hardly call that a vacation…" Cam stated, smiling slightly. Brennan just glared back at her silently.
"So I'm telling you to take this three week vacation or I'll be forced to fire you"
"You can't do that!" Brennan snapped angrily.
"It's that or have the Jeffersonian come under full review by the Worker's Union. Your good at what you do Dr. Brennan but I will not sacrifice the reputation of the Jeffersonian for you. So I want you gone by lunch time today and ONLY see you back on the premises in three weeks time. That will be all." She finished, going back to the paperwork in front of her. Brennan clenched her fists tightly, glaring at Cam for a few moments longer before turning and storming out the door.

Agent Seeley Booth smiled and nodded greeting to the security guard making he way around the complex. Swiping his access card he made his way towards the main area of the Jeffersonian where he was expecting to find his hard working partner. However he was stopped mid way by a concerned looking Angela.
"Hey, what's up?" he questioned her.
Angela glanced up at Temps office before answering him quietly.
"Dr. Saroyan ordered Tempe on a three week vacation and, well, she isn't taking the news very well". Just as she finished, a thump from the locked room rung out.
Booth gave her a strained smile.
"I'll see what I can do…"
Angela smiled up at him.
"I knew I could count on you, I've tried to get her to let me in but she wouldn't have a bar of it. Maybe you'll have better luck… thanks again hon!" She concluded, giving his arm a quick squeeze before walking away. Booth looked warily up at the locked office before slowly making his way up there.
"Bones?" he called through the closed door. "It's Booth…"
He waited but received no response.
"Temperance…" He called, trying again.
Slowly the door opened and Temperance stepped away from the door to let Booth in before locking it again behind her. Booth noted Tempe look huffy and annoyed, her computer and a folder of paper he guessed was a new story of hers were stacked neatly on the desk, her shoes were thrown across the room, a book left open on the couch.
"I'm guessing you know about my situation" Temperance cut into his thoughts.
"What, that your being forced to go on paid vacation… do you know how many people would kill for that!" He remarked. Tempe gave him a confused look.
"People actually kill for a vacation?" she asked, stunned.
"No Bones, it's a figure of speech." He smirked at her. She sighed and rolled her eyes before glancing at the clock on her wall.
"12 o'clock exactly… I guess I should go."
"Yeah, you should… so who's taking the cases while your away" He inquired.
"Dr. Saroyan reassured me she would personally take over my cases and I should be pleased she made such a sacrifice, not that she doesn't anything productive…" She muttered.
"Did I just hear that right, Temperance Brennan irrationally bitching about another human being…"
"Bitching?" She questioned him, yet again confused.
"Never mind" he laughed, shaking his head.
"I might come drop in during the week to see how your going… if that's alright with you of course" He asked her.
"I guess that will be fine, I highly doubt me weeks away will be highly eventful" she smiled.
"Great, see ya around Bones" he threw over his should as he walked away.
"It's Temperance!" she called out to the departing figure.
Review... pretty pleeeeaaaseee!!
