It was Friday night, well more like Friday evening. It was close to six when Brennan sat in her couch and looked around for something to do. Usually Booth would take her to the diner after a case, but their case of the week had ended early in the week and there wasn't another case to work on. She had called Booth at around noon to see if had plans for the night, but her hopes crashed when he said he was a little tired and would rather just stay home. So she decided to use the spare time she had to work on her latest novel.
It was past ten when she began working on a very steamy chapter in her novel. Kathy and Andy were steaming it up in the back of his car. Stop it Brennan. It's Kathy and Andy, NOT Brennan and Booth.
"Oh, Brennan. How many times has it been in the past month? Four, no five times. You have to stop having sexed up fantasies about Booth, ok? It's not going to happen." Brennan scolded her 'unpartnerly' thoughts. The ringing of her cell phone disrupted her thoughts. The name displayed on the screen said 'Booth'. Her hopes flew to the ceiling as she thought that maybe he wanted to 'hang out' like Angela would call it.
She answered her phone with excitement in her tone, "Brennan." There was a slight pause on the other line, "Bones… I umh…can u came over and give me a ride to the ER? I feel really bad and my fever just keeps rising… the thermometer says 103 degrees…Bones?" Shock flooded her. That was a lot of fever, " I'll be right over." and hung up her phone.
She made it to his place in ten minutes only because she broke every law on the road there was. Booth was already waiting for her on the sidewalk. He hoped in her car and she headed to the ER. The drive was silent, mostly because she just wanted her Booth to get better and because he was too sick to talk. Once they were at the hospital Booth was given priority because his fever was now at 105. After about an hour Booth's fever had been stabilized and he was released for Brennan to take home.
She stopped by the pharmacy and bought his prescription and a bag of ice in case his fever rose again. At his apartment she led a child like Booth to his bedroom. She gave him a dose of medicine and he layed on the bed. He fell asleep quickly. Although she didn't want to admit it, she was exhausted and she layed next to him on the bed. This way she could not only rest a bit, but keep a close on eye on him. It wasn't long before she drifted to sleep.
