Disclaimer: I do not own Bones or any of the characters. Otherwise, Booth would be mine, all mine and I wouldn't share. Shakes head stubbornly

Author's note: This is my first Bonesfic. I'm not too familiar with how David came into the picture or even who he is. I really don't care either; Bones belongs with Booth. Yes, this is a Bones/Booth fic. I've rated it the way I have because it will have more swearing and smoochies. Anyway, enjoy.


Dr. Temperance Brennan sat in her office with her back to the door. She held her cell phone against her ear; however, the call had been long since been disconnected. She should have lowered the phone by now, but she was too numb to think about it. A single thought kept floating through her mind. He dumped me. David dumped me. He hadn't even had the decency to tell her in person. But his excuse had been the worst. "I can't date someone who's related to criminals. I'm sorry; Temperance, but I just can't do that." He hung up after that.

Booth stood in Brennan's office doorway, but he went unnoticed. He had been standing there nearly five minutes, and he had called her name twice. He tried again. "Bones!" He got a small, soft sob instead of silence this time. He went over to were she was sitting, and put his hand on her shoulder. "Temperance… are you ok?" When she didn't answer, Booth crouched down to where he could he see her face. "Temperance, talk to me." He took her hand. Only then did she look at him.

"Go away, Booth." She muttered.

He shook his head. "Not until you tell me what's got you so upset. Is it your dad?"

"No, it's David. He… he broke up with me." Temperance replied. She was expecting Booth to make one of his usual snide remarks. But what he did instead caught her off-guard.

Booth stood and pulled Brennan into his arms and hugged her. "I'm sorry, Bones. What happened?"

"He said it was because of my parents. He couldn't date someone who was related to criminals. He said…" She began to cry.

"I'm taking you home now." Booth said as he gently rubbed her back.

"But I have to work."

"It can wait. Right now, you couldn't concentrate even if you wanted to." Booth replied as he led her out of the office.
