Well season six is here and I need a new place to dissect the happenings of the episodes and explore all the possibilities my brain has come up with. So I begin this new collection with a few things from episode to that I feel like have been neglected a little bit in the collective freak out over Hannah. There were just a few moments that I think were vastly important that were almost glossed over so I'm bringing them to the fore front in this piece.

I don't own Bones but the people who do are fabulous at it.

What I need?

"We couldn't" She says boldly as we sit at the counter in the diner eating lunch with Sweets in between us, discussing how strange it is that the victims were a couple. I'm arguing that love over comes all, and she and Sweets are saying that it's very unlikely for a relationship between the two of them to work.

That's when in her typical Bones manner she jumps to the one topic I would prefer never be brought up, let alone in front of shrink boy. Who by the way agreed with her even though he has barely any idea of what happened.

If we'd been alone I probably would have told her that we could have if she'd just given it a chance. Besides that we did work, for nearly five years we worked seamlessly. It wasn't until I tried to take it further and she balked that it came crashing down, that and we both fled. I just wanted to shake her and force her to acknowledge that she never really gave us a chance. But I can't because Sweets is here and I have Hannah. I'm happy with Hannah she can give me everything I want.

But she doesn't stop there Bones goes on to tell, both of us mind you, that she would imagine us together as a couple while we were apart, and it was pleasant. So now not only am I frustrated with her for concluding that we couldn't make it work but now I'm wondering if her fantasies were simply us holding hands and eating together or if they were more vivid fantasies of our naked bodies moving against each other. I stop the thought there because I can't let it go any further I have Hannah, I love Hannah she wants what I want.

I spend hours trying to purge my thoughts of the stubbornness that is my partner, and even longer trying to convince myself that whatever her imagination came up with in relation to our non-existent relationship doesn't matter. Nevertheless, I can't help wondering what she imagined when we were apart. But when Hannah comes into the room exuding so much enthusiasm I forcefully push all the thoughts of my partner from my mind because the blonde in front of me is what I want.

We closed the case and sit at the bar still debating the power of love. She convinced that there's no such thing and that I'm being lead astray by a chemical reaction of god knows what and I hear her admit that she's felt those things before and trusted them. Hannah comes bouncing into the bar at that moment in a pretty black dress all ready for dinner, our first real date without the threat of gun fire, and I focus on her but I can help but register my partners last words in the back of my mind, "I won't let it happen again."

I know she doesn't think that I heard her, and that's ok. But part of my brain will spend the next few hours wondering if I might have broken her further. I spent so many years trying to convince her that she wasn't going to be left behind and that she should maybe just trust her heart instead of her brain. I want to tell myself that she's strong and will get through this and she will find happiness herself, because hell I did. I found a woman that is everything I want.

And yet as I sit across the table from the women I want I can't help but wonder if she's what I need?

Well there it is the first one shot of a collection that I'm sure will have many more. What did you think?

Also Hannah doesn't bug me as much as Booth is right now, everyone thinks he's happy and feel like he's chipper in a forced manner. I don't know it seems to me like he's over doing it, which probably why I wrote the above.

I hope you liked and I hope you'll come back
