Here is the sequel to Summer Vacation! This one is going to be a little more angsty, but not in the way you might be thinking. or the way I'm thinking, the characters write the stories after all, authors just do what they're told.

Enjoy! (bones isn't mine...)

Brennan sipped her chardonnay and stared into the black darkness. Booth had left to his apartment about an hour ago. Her engagement ring glimmered in the waning hours of the night. She wandered to her bedroom, leaving her glass of wine in the kitchen. Wearily she collapsed on her bed, and closed her eyes to sleep. Even though she was happier than she had ever been, she was even more terrified, and as she drifted into a fitful sleep, she wondered if she could do this.

--------------------------------

Booth was driving down the highway in silent frustration. He sensed something was wrong with Bones, but he was afraid that if he went back, he would scare her away. He wished he knew what to do. Finally giving up, he turned around, and rushed back to her apartment. He ran up the fight of stairs, as the elevator was taking too long. He finally arrived at her apartment and knocked softly.

"Bones...Bones are you awake?" He silently opened the door, trading into the apartment. He heard silent sobbing coming from the bedroom. He rushed there, hardly waiting to think if she wanted him to be there at all. Their situation was different now. She was his.

"Booth...Booth...come back...don't leave me alone..." Brennan said in her sleep through silent sobs. Booth rushed to her side, gently shaking her awake.

"Hey baby, shh it's okay. Everything is okay. I am here, I will never leave you." Brennan's eyes fluttered open, and his heart burst at the intense look of vulnerability that haunted her eyes.

"Booth, I had a nightmare. You left with another woman, I was alone. Why do I always end up alone?" She sobbed, Booth trying to console her as best she could.

"You will never be alone again Temperance. You are stuck with me now." She smiled half-heartedly.

"For now." Booth sighed.

"I'm not leaving, no matter how much you push me away." Brennan shook her head.

"I did not say 'for now' as an ominous foreshadowing. I said that as of this present moment, yes I am stuck with you." Booth laughed.

"There's my girl." Brennan cuddled into his arms. Booth held her.

"Don't worry Temperance. I will always love you." Brennan closed her eyes, that terrified feeling gone, her nightmare a fleeting memory, and fell into a deep sleep.
