Temperance sat in the darkened living room. She held Jaden in her arms, he was now two months old. She stared at the wall as she heard his car pull up to the house. He had gotten out of work five hours ago. She let the tears slide down her cheeks. Angela was waiting around the corner for her to call. She looked over to the bags that sat by the door. She didn't want to leave, but she had too. She looked up hearing the door open and she sighed walking to go get Parker. She had already text Angela telling her to come around. He was drunk again. This wasn't the first time he came home drunk and she couldn't take it any longer. He was now sitting on the couch, another beer in his hand. She but her bottom lip as she grabbed the bags and opened the door as Parker ran to hug his father.
"Come on Parker, we can't make Ange wait." She said walking over to him. She didn't even say good bye to Booth. She knew in the morning he wouldn't remember anything she said to him. Temperance took one last look back to the man that had became the man she fall in love with. She took a deep breath and walked to the car waiting for her and the boys. Tempe helped Parker into the back then got up front and started crying as Angela drove away from the house.
"You ok Sweetie?" Angela asked looking over to her friend who was holding her son as close to her chest as she could. Angela knew that Temperance wasn't alright. She hadn't had any help taking care of the boys for almost a month. Booth had started drinking when they found out Rebecca was moving and was going to take Parker, but was letting him stay with them until then. She needed help and break. She cant remember the last time she had slept for more the 20 minutes at a time. She looked over to Angela. "No, I'm not. I'm losing him." She was said for the car ride to Angela and Jacks. Angela helped her get her things in to the house as Jack took a sleeping Parker up stairs. Tempe went and sat down and closed her eyes as Angela took Jaden. "I'm taking him up stairs." She said softly and left her friend sitting there. Tempe took out her phone and sighed seeing he hadn't called. He passed out on the couch or in our room by now. She gave a small laugh at that but it faded. Our room. I may never say that again. At this thought she started to cry again. Angela was half down the stairs when she saw Temperance's body shake from the sobs she was now letting take over. Angela ran to her side and tried to calm her. An hour or so later Temperance had fallen into an uneasy sleep.
