This is my newest one. It is not complete , only the first chapter is written. I will update as time allows, usually weekends. I don't know how long this one will be.
Long nights
Special Agent Seeley Booth sat in the shadowy nursery watching the shadows the nightlight casted on the ceiling, rocking his four month old son, Sam.
"Sammy, I know you miss mommy, but you need to go to sleep for a while, I need sleep."
The baby seemed to relax at the word, 'mommy'. Booth smiled. Sammy had always fallen asleep easily for Brennan until that night. Booth was watching TV and Brennan was getting a two month old Sammy to sleep, he didn't want to sleep and after an hour of Brennan trying she called Booth in for reinforcement, and after a mere 10 minutes of Booth rocking him, Sam was asleep.
Booth knew Brennan doubted her abilities to be a mother from the very second they found out they were going to be parents, but he thought they were getting past that. After Sam was in his crib, Booth found Brennan on the couch chewing her lip; something she did when she was unsure about something.
Booth had tried to reassure Brennan that Sam falling asleep in his arms was in no way a reflection of her parenting skills. Brennan said she was okay, but Booth knew she wasn't, the next night Brennan went to karate and never came back.
Booth knew where she was of course, Brennan was in a one bedroom apartment across town, on leave from the lab and she checked her email every few days. Booth would send pictures once a week and Angela got Sammy form daycare on Fridays for a video chat with his mom.
Booth put Sam on his shoulder and began to pace the nursery, "Sammy, Your mom will be back soon, she just needs time to get her mind around being your mom. You know she loves you, right? She tells you that every Friday, I know because sometimes I hang outside Angela's door to listen and see your mom. I miss her Sam, a lot."
Sam's cries that had been lessening in the last few minutes had now stopped and Booth lowered the baby to his bed, kissing his forehead twice, once for him and once for Brennan. Booth walked across the hall and crawled in to bed on Brennan's side.
