Hey guys! YellowShadess here with somewhat of a new story. I wrote and posted this story in my early days of fan fiction writing and I don't remember why I took it down. I still have the first copy and I have revised it and decided to post it once more! In this story Booth gets an unwanted visitor and tries to keep him away from Brennan. Will he be able to? Or will he have to face his problem head on? Set in early season 7. Here we go!
The day started out like any other. Booth and Brennan woke up intertwined with each other in romantic bliss. They both got up and got ready for work. Booth made breakfast while Brennan rummaged through her clothes trying to find something that fit but also she was comfortable in. Her 6 months protruding baby belly was giving her a hard time when it came to picking out clothes to wear. When she settled on something she joined Booth in the kitchen to eat. If they had a case they might have skipped breakfast or grabbed something fast and went to the crime scene but today was a calm day. They were able to enjoy each others company. They talked about the baby and how excited they were for his or hers impending arrival in three or so months. After they ate and cleaned up they headed off to work. Booth dropping off Brennan at the lab and heading over to the Hoover building to work on paperwork until they were called to a scene. As the day went on the partners did very little work. Some paperwork and some limbo work got done. Booth showed up at the lab and took Brennan to lunch. When Brennan returned she saw a security guard standing outside her door. She was greeted by an intern,
"Dr. Brennan, you have a visitor in your office." The young girl said. She thanked the intern and went to her office. It was lab protocol that any visitor was to be watched by a security guard until an employee spoke to them. Brennan relieved the guard of his duty and walked into her office. She saw a man sitting on her couch fiddling with his hands. She made her presence known,
"Hello, I'm Dr. Brennan. Who are you?" She asked extended her hand. The mysterious man took her hand and shook it. She studied his features. He was an older man. Mid 70s. Strong bone structure. Brown eyes and a wide smile. She felt like she knew the man but she couldn't figure it out. They let go and she ushered him to sit back down. She took a seat on one of her chairs across from the couch.
"Hello Dr. Brennan. I'm happy that you have time to see men today; I hope I am not barging in on your work." The man said. Brennan smiled at the man. He sighed and spoke once more,
"I understand you work with Seeley Booth right?" Brennan looked at the man with narrow eyes.
"Yes, We are partners plus we are in a committed relationship. What is this about?" She asked. Avoiding the question the man spoke,
"I haven't seen Seeley in a long time. I miss him dearly. Would you mind giving him my card and telling him to call me?" He asked. The man looked sad while he spoke about Booth; almost like he was regretting something. He extended his hand and gave her a card with a number on it. She looked up at the man puzzled and spoke,
"Yes but if you don't mind me asking why did you come to me and not to Booth directly?" The man shook his head and spoke
"Seeley and I are not on the best of terms right now; we haven't been for a long time really. I want to make amends and if I went to him directly he would have shut me out and we wouldn't be able to talk. Please have him call me I would like to speak to him soon." He began to get up. Brennan got up slowly as the man began to walk out. Brennan followed him to the door and called out to him,
"Wait! I didn't get your name." She said. He turned around and smiled.
"Joe. My name is Joe." He said. As he walked out of the lab Brennan watched the mysterious man. She looked down at his card and read the number. She wrote down his name and sat at her desk. She studied the card carefully. She was pulled out of her trance when her phone started to ring. It was Booth saying that there had been a murder. Forgetting the man and the card she put it in her purse and decided to discuss it with Booth later when she got home from work. She packed up everything she needed and hitched a ride with Cam and Hodgins tot he crime scene.
