This is the prologue to the first multichapter fic I could write. Please let me know if you're interested, so I'll continue, or if you're not; so I'll delete it. Also, if anyone is interested in beta-ing, please tell me, because I feel like I need one (with English not being my language and all).
Disclaimer: I don't own anything you recognize!
Summary: (Post 6x09, with Hannah) Sweets' book gets published after a mistake. He has to break the news to everyone: Booth is forced to tell Hannah about BB's past and some issues ensue. – I already came up with some of them, but I welcome any suggestions (send me a PM and/or review)
It's BB, even though only Sweets is in the prologue!
ACCIDENTALLY PUBLISHED
A clumsy psychiatrist:
Sweets' POV:
The phone rang in my office. A deep man's voice introduced himself.
"Hello, Dr. Sweets, nice to finally talk to you! It's George Golding calling, I just wanted to inform, that your book's first edition has been printed! We established the date of it's presentation with your publisher, who already approved the front side."
I was confused; the only book I've ever written and sent to my publisher is the one about Booth and Brennan and I sure as hell didn't want to publish it.
"This is some kind of mistake, sir, what book are you talking about?"
"The one you wrote: Bones – The Heart of the Matter! You are Dr. Lance Sweets, right? Your publisher is Aaron Staples; he sent us the copy of the book and said that you re-wrote a few chapters after some misfortunate events between the two people the book was based upon… he said you e-mailed him the new version, and that after some editing it was great, so we put it into print as soon as possible! Anyways, it's been printed!"
It was all correct, except I never approved of the book to go into print. I wanted to kill Aaron, if Booth wouldn't kill me first. After all, the book's conclusion was still that they are in love, which they are, but Hannah probably deserved to find that out in a different way.
I went to open my e-mail account and check if I really sent the new version to Aaron, and of course I did… Why do I have to be so clumsy?
Of course I didn't have the money to pay the printing and everyone who helped anyhow – I had to sell the book and present it to as many people (so some kind of party was necessary) in order to actually make profit.
So I had quite a few phone calls to make: First I called George, then Aaron. He explained everything, and really he did what anyone on his position would have done - if they'd get a finished book they'd read it over and sent it in print. He also counted many more reasons why we couldn't not sell it. We set a date for the party and a rough list of people to invite. Unfortunately, he said, Booth and Brennan with their dates are a must.
I went to call Dr. Wyatt for advice and he informed me that I need to tell my patients the truth and just accept their reaction. He pointed out that they agreed on me writing a book about their relationship, and that is exactly what I've done. He also seemed very certain that they'll be grateful at one point.
I decided to call Dr. Brennan first; after all, she wasn't the one with a girlfriend.
Happy New Year! Leave a review and let me know what you think (or if you want to be a beta!)
