Watching a TV show and listening to my Ipod gave me the idea for this story.

Bones isn't mine

CHAPTER 1

"Mommy when is Daddy coming home?" a 7 ½ year old Taylor asked her mom

"Not for another 6 months, Tay Tay." Brennan told her daughter

"I really miss him. I want him home now." Taylor whined

"I know baby me too. Now lets do your homework and study 5 words for the spelling bee."

"Okay."

After several worksheets of homework they started studying for the spelling bee.

"The word is language" Brennan said

"Language. L-A-N-G-U-A-G-E. Language."

"Very good Tay."

"What's the next word" She asked eagerly

"The word is innocent"

"Innocent. I-N-O-S-C-E-N-T. Innocent"

"Sorry Tay you spelt it wrong." Brennan said with a sad smile

"How's it spelt than?"

"It's spelled I-N-N-O-C-E-N-T. You added an 's' and left out an 'n'."

"Oh okay. Can you give we another word?"

"Sure, the word is Tomorrow."

"Tomorrow. T-O-M-O-R-R-O-W. Tomorrow"

"Good job, now one ore word and then the state of the night. Your next word is Rhythm."

"Okay rhythm, R-H-Y-T-H-E-M. Rhythm."

"So close Tay, you added an 'e'."

"Okay so no 'e' at the end." Taylor asked double checking

"You got it. Now the state of the night is Hawaii."

"Hawaii. H-A-W-A-I-I. Hawaii." Taylor said with a smile knowing she spelt it right.

"Good job tonight now do you want to watch a movie before bed?"

"YES." Taylor exclaimed

"Okay go pick one out." Brennan said with a laugh

Taylor ran into her room to go pick a movie. What seemed like just a second to Brennan, Taylor came running back into the room with Beauty and the Beast in her hands.

"You want to watch this movie again?" Brennan asked making sure that her daughter wanted to watch this for the 5th night in a row.

"Yes, Mommy I want to watch Belle again."

"Okay. I'll put the movie in and you can go change into your pajamas."

Half way through the movie Taylor started to dose off in her mothers lap. Brennan noticed that her daughter was falling asleep and decided to call Angela.

"Hello" Angela answered

"Hey Ange"

"Hey Bren, what's up?"

"It's Taylor."

"Is she okay?" Angela asked concerned about her god-daughter

"She's fine she just asked when Booth was coming home from Iraq. That makes it the 3rd time this week."

"She'll be fine she just misses her dad."

"Are you just saying that to be nice to me?"

"No, she probably feels how you felt when your parents left you except she still has her mom. Before she knows it you'll have your husband back and she'll have her dad back."

"I suppose your right. I just feel bad that she has to wait another 6 months."

"Taylor's strong she made it through the first 6 she'll be able to make it through the last 6."

"I hope your right."

"Sweetie, I know it's not just her this has been hard on, it's been hard on you too. You have to stay strong for her but then you break down at night when she's asleep or not around. Don't tell me that's not true because it is, why else do you call me at 8:30 every night."

"I know Ange, it's hard having to be strong for her especially when I feel the same way maybe even worse."

"Have you talked to him at all?"

"Through letters yes, on the phone or through Skype no."

"I'm sorry Bren but I have to go Michael just got sick and Hodgins isn't home." Angela said rushed

"It's okay Ange, I'll talk to you tomorrow. Tell Michael I told him to feel better."

"Okay I will bye Bren."

"Bye Ange."

After talking on the phone with Angela, Brennan decided she would put her daughter in her room. As Brennan picked Taylor up, Taylor's head nuzzled into Brennan's shoulder. After tucking her daughter in Brennan went into her room and took out a box of letters, pictures, and other objects that reminded her of Booth and cried until she fell asleep.

The next morning Brennan was waken up by her bed going up and down. She opened one eye and found Taylor jumping on the bed.

"Taylor what time is it?"

"It's 6:45"

"Why are you up this early on a Saturday?" Brennan asked wondering why her daughter was up this early considering they always slept in on Saturdays and Sundays.

"I couldn't sleep and I wanted to see you."

"Come here." Brennan said patting the spot next to her. Taylor crawled over to where her mom patted.

"Lets try and get you some more sleep. Then maybe we could go to the zoo or to the aquarium later."

"Okay" Taylor said sleepily as she cuddled into Brennan's arms.

I know this chapter is short but the next chapter will be longer I promise. The studying for the spelling and the spelling of the state I got from when I was younger. My grandpa would give me 5 words and 2 of them would be states. I know Brennan would probably do bone of the day but whatever. PLEASE REVIEW! J
