Chapter 1

The sound of slight tapping woke Booth from his slumber. Looking around he realized that he was still in his office. Standing and shaking the slumber from his mind he stood and approached the door. Glancing at the clock he realized it was 2am. Cautiously he opened the door and gazed at a darkened figure in the hallway. He heard a frail voice .."Booth"..

Thinking he was dreaming he reached and turned on the light within his office, turning his gaze back to the hall way he noticed Bones standing there. She looked frail and dripping wet from the rain outside. Stepping forward from his doorway blinking his eyes in disbelief he reached for her hoping like all the other dreams, she wouldn't disappear before he could touch and hold her. But when his hand met her shoulder and felt the damp cold clothing beneath his touch he knew she was truly there with him. Reaching a little further he lightly caressed her cold wet cheek that was smeared with what he thought was dirt and dried blood.

" I thought I lost you.." he whispered softly.

He could see the relief taking over the fear in Temperance's eyes, then her eyes fluttered shut and she collapsed into his strong arms. He gingerly picked her off the ground and placed her on the couch, pulling out his cell phone and dialing 911.

"This is Special Agent Seely Booth I need an ambulance sent to the FBI building section 3. Thank you."

Hanging up he quickly dialed another number, " Angela, it's Booth. Temperance is back. I called an ambulance I'll meet you at the hospitable."

As if in a trance he hung up his phone and looked back down at his Bones, 'shes back… I can't believe it.. She's really here in my arms and I will never let her go again.' he thought to himself silently.

"What happened to you Tempe?" he whispered softly while placing a stray damp strand of hair behind her ear. Staring down upon her pale and frail form. He could hear the sirens in the distance getting slowly closer.

So tell me what you think!! My first fic in a long time!! Should I go on??

Oh yeah and even though I wish I did, but I do not own bones or anything else for that fact!! Except this story of course! LOL
