Disclaimer: I do not own Bones however I do own Callie, Sandra, Chris and Mark. So um ya.
I do tend to have a punctuation problem so if any body has editing suggestions... Don't hold back.
These characters might be a little out of character this literally came to me as I was falling asleep and I dreamt about it all night. So here it is. Please review I will love you for ever This first chapter seems and is very dark but I will lighten it up I hate dark stories.
"Get out of my house, and don't you ever come back to touch me or my daughter again." Temperance screamed and slammed the door shut. She slid down the back of the door and banged her head continuously against it. Another boyfriend right down the drain. She felt the stinging of the tears behind her eyes and then she cried for what seemed like for ever until her three year old daughter climbed on to her lap.
"Momma where'd twis go" she questioned her mother with her big emerald eyes. Tempe couldn't look at those eyes with out more tears stinging the back of her eyes at the thought of another of her failed relationships Why couldn't she get this right she only ever had one relationship that she thought was going some where and that was almost 4 years ago. Seeley Booth she smiled even thinking about him them felt the familiar anger bubbling up inside of her. They had had the perfect relationship after almost two years of consistent nagging from her still best friend Angela Montenegro. Then Deputy Director Cullen had insisted that Booth start working undercover. Cullen had hated Tempe from the moment they had met. Once Booth and Tempe had made there romantic relationship public Cullen had despised her even more and sent Booth away to work undercover with no other options. It had been nearly four years since Booth and Tempe had talked. He was always undercover and if there was contact between them his cover would have been blown.
"Momma?" Callie questioned again ripping Tempe from her trip town memory lane. Tempe looked at her daughter and decided to go with the simplest truth possible.
"Chris left for a while. I don't think we will see or hear from him again" Tempe stated. She left out the part about Chris beating her and threatening to hit Callie.
"Let's get you back to bed" she said looking at Callie. After laying her daughter back to bed and making sure that she fell asleep before leaving Tempe climbed in to the bath she had began to run before she put Callie back in bed. She sunk herself in the water and thought back over the past four years. She had had two relationships and both had failed.
Shortly after Booth left she had met Mark she had thought he was the love of her life. She had thrown her whole self into the relationship and had ended up pregnant. Tempe had been foolish enough to think that Mark would change his mind about kids once she told him that they were having one of there own. She was wrong. She had told Mark one morning before leaving for the Jeffersonian. She had come home to an empty house even though Mark had the day off. She ventured around the house to see all of Mark's stuff gone. She had sunk into her old self with her walls twice as high. Angela hardly heard anything non-work related from her friend until Callie was born.
Callie was the second best thing ever to happen to Tempe, Booth being the first. Angela had thought that for the longest time. Then she saw the un-wavering love that Tempe had for her daughter she had covered the small table in her office with pictures of that little girl. Angela never would have thought that Tempe would have made such a great mother but she was doing a brilliant job.
Angela had still thought that Callie needed a father figure until about six months ago when Tempe met Chris. There relationship had seemed to flourish they had moved quickly and after only three months Chris had moved into Tempe's apartment with her. Then about a month ago Tempe had started coming into the Jeffersonian worse for the wear with bruises and cuts. Once Angela had dragged it out of Tempe that Chris had been leaving those horrendous bruises on Tempe's face she had begun trying to convince her to kick him out but Tempe had just insisted that it was her fault and that she had always done something to deserve Chris's beatings.
Tonight though, tonight was the last straw Chris had threatened to hit Callie the person Tempe loved most in the world. Tempe used what she could remember of the martial arts she had been trained in to fight back. Chris had realized that he was going down he yelled at her and the minute he had been told by Tempe to get out he didn't need to be told twice he packed what little he had brought into Tempe's apartment and left her forever he had thrown his key at her in one last attempt to control Tempe.
Tempe climbed out of the now cold bathtub tried her self off and looked at the last of the fresh bruises Chris would ever leave on her. Tempe threw on her comfiest silk pajamas and climbed in her bed and fell asleep the minute her head hit the pillow.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
The blaring beep of the alarm clock woke Tempe up at 6:00. When she opened her eyes the bright green eyes and the chestnut brown hair of her daughter Callie stared back at her.
"Mornin' mommy! Can we get donuts for Br'fast dis mornin'?" Her lovely 3 year old daughter asked her. Tempe smiled at her and replied:
"Of course we can especially since you didn't have a great birthday yesterday" Tempe smiled to her self donuts sounded great this morning. Tempe went in to turn on the shower before she reached up and felt her hair was still wet from her bath not even four hours ago. It was oddly refreshing for Tempe to wake up and have no boyfriend there. She decided against a shower this morning in stead tied her bathrobe back on and went to bathe her daughter.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
As they pulled up to the Jeffersonian Tempe walked around to the back seat of her car and put her purse and the bag of Callie's stuff beside the car along with this morning's addition of two frosted donuts in a bag on the ground as she unbuckled Callie and helped her out of the car. They walked onto the raised platform of the Jeffersonian where Tempe, Angela, Zach, Hodgins, and the newest member of the team Sandra worked. Angel greeted followed her friend in to her office where she sat Callie down to eat her donut before she went down to the Jeffersonian daycare.
"You look particularly happy this morning" Angela commented as she sat down on the couch next to Callie.
" I finally put some of my Martial arts to use last night and Chris left" Tempe commented nonchalantly as she pulled out her own donut out of the bag and tore it in half passing one half to Angela.
"You did what!" Angela squealed.
"Auntie Ang'la, shh" Callie commented.
"Sorry sweetie," Angela commented before continuing "I did hear you right? Didn't I?" Angela restated quietly this time before receiving a conformation nod from Tempe.
" Dr. Brennan, Angela you guys should get out here." Zach interrupted. Tempe walked over and wiped off Callie before scooping her up and following Angela out of the door.
" Booth?"
