Going Back
Summary: Brennan takes a week long trip to Seattle, Washington. However when Booth asks why she becomes very vague on the details.
Prologue:
Special Agent Seeley Booth was late. His partner's flight was due to land any minute and he was still stuck in the damn traffic.
He became tempted to use his siren…
Bones had to fly out to Seattle for a week. She had told him it was a family thing. Needless to say this left the agent utterly confused.
He was beginning to miss their usual banter and her tossing big words he didn't know at him. He remembered the other day Parker had been over and they were watching Boomerang, the classic cartoon channel. Then, the Smurfs' had come on. He'd started thinking of her then. He'd have to tell her about it when he saw her.
Finally he had made it there.
Perfect timing he thought as she came through the front doors of D.C. international. She greeted him with a warm smile. She was definitely happy to see his familiar face.
She tossed her bag in the back "Hey Booth," she said breathlessly.
"Hiya Bones, how was Seattle?"
Oh yeah she thought, 'the family thing'. She wasn't ready to tell Booth the whole reason she had been there.
"Well, it was alright. Quite rainy though as would be expected for their climate. I got you something while I was gone. It just seemed to remind me of you."
Maybe that'll distract him.
"Oh, really? What'd you get me?"
Bingo, I knew that'd get him she thought inwardly grinning.
"I'll show you when we get back to my place." She told him laughing at his eagerness to know.
"Booth by the way thanks for picking me up."
"No problem Bones," said Booth turning to look at her and flashing her a megawatt grin.
He was aware that she was trying to distract him from talking about the trip to Seattle that was evident. The really confusing part?
What was the big secretive reason for her being in Seattle for a week?
She stared out the window replaying a conversation from a few hours prior through her head.
"Tempe, don't be a stranger I really missed you."
"I know I missed you, too. I think I'll come back in a couple weeks."
"Stay longer next time?"
"Sure Alex."
"Love you Tempe."
"Love you too."
Tempe then walked into the airport waving bye to Alex.
She brought herself back to the present. Booth would no doubt about it be surprised when she told him where she'd been…
