Again this is a rewritten version of Life Changes.
I do not own Bones, besides the 206 bones in my body, which you can identified by a remolded sprain left ankle and a remolded broken nose and jaw, and perhaps identification markers of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Now Booth was in his cheap hotel room, pacing back and forth. How was he going to confront the woman he loves? He needed a plan. Bones is fast; she could run as soon as she sees him pulling into her driveway. Worse, she might send that dog of hers after him.
What was is 'gut' telling him to do? His 'gut' was telling him to confront her head on. If she ran, chase. If she sends the dog after him, let it happen. That dog was hers, it would probably hurt her if something would happen to hit, and he did not want that to happen. He was now here miles away from D.C. There was no way he was going back now, without her.
Booth got into his rental car and quickly head over to her house. He had learned from the publisher that "Katie" lived alone, and that she did not work; she relied on some money that she already had, and the money she receives from her books. Therefore, Booth knew that Katie would most likely be alone.
Is heart was racing a mile a minute as he pulled into her driveway. It was now daylight, and she was standing on her front porch getting her mail. She never took her eyes of the car as it pulled into her driveway. He was certain it was her, those piercing blue eyes stood out the most on her. They were the same blue eyes that would freeze anybody, whom did not know her; but warmed his when she would look at him. She is wearing a blue sweater that cut right above her hips, and a pair of blue grey yoga paints. Booth knew that had to be her sleepwear, it was 09:00 in the morning; Bones would be halfway done a day's work by now. She would not be lounging around the house.
He slowly got out of his car, she was staring at him, and it was only making him nervous. Then when the door had shut, he noticed she was now focusing on his face. Nothing changed, she did not run or send the dog, and she just stared. "May I help you?" she had asked. His heart had melted when he heard that voice.
"Um, yea, um, I am Special Agent Seeley Booth of the FBI." He said, showing her his badge. What was wrong with her, why in the world is she acting like she does not know him. Why did he announce himself like that as well; this was Bones he worked with her for five years she knew who he was.
"What does the FBI want in Canada? More importantly what do they want with me?" Katie asked. Katie had to admit his features were quite good looking. Deep down it felt like she had known him as well.
Booth was lost for words; he could not believe that he was having a conversation with Bones again, after two years. Yet she was acting as if she did not know him, but he was playing alone. "Yes, I was wondering if you know Dr. Temperance Brennan. She went missing two years ago, and hasn't been seen since."
"Well if she went missing, how can she been seen?" Katie asked. That was Bones for yea. Just as literal as the day she left. "But no, I never heard of her. Maybe, if I see a picture, I'm bad with names?" Booth took a picture he kept of Bones in his wallet right next to Parker, and handed to her. Booth watched as a strange look came across her face. "Is this some kind of joke? This picture is of me, and my name is Katie LaManche." Then she had paused for a minute. "Wait I could be Dr. Brennan. Last year I was in an accident, I have no memory beforehand. The only identification I had on me was a fake ID card with Katie LaManche, so I don't know who I am."
Booth was in shock, that explain just about everything. She did not remember who she was. "Your name is Brennan, Dr. Temperance Brennan. You worked at the Jeffersonian Institution in D.C. as a forensic anthropologist, which specializes in identifying, people when nobody knows who they are. You are Doctor Temperance Brennan, and you are my partner with the FBI and in life…" Booth did not know why he said that last statement. However, he knew this was his chance maybe he could show her that they could be together if they pretended to. He also knew that she was going to kick his ass when her memories come too.
"Bones, that is what I call you, I'm… well… you're… husband. I have been looking for you for two years. They told me to give up, if you wanted to be found you would have come home, but I could not. Not until I found you, either alive or gone forever. I just could not do that to Angela either; she is your best friend." Booth paused and looked at the ground. Then he did what he wanted do since he was in the car. He went over to her and gave her a big hug, than the tears started flowing. "I found you, baby. Sorry it slipped."
There were tears in Brennan's eyes as she said, "I am sorry I do not remember you. Was I sick before I went missing?"
'Sick, his bones' was sick, he just found her, and she was now telling him that she was sick. Sick with what, oh god, please do not let it be cancer. He needs her.' These thoughts are running through his head. "Um, uh, no, Oh God, you're sick. What is the matter? Is it serious, Oh God, I can't lose you, I just found you." He said most of that in one breath, and tears were in the corner of eyes ready to descend.
For some reason when Katie seen that melt down, all she wanted to do was hold him. Hold onto his for life. "I have Cardiac dysrhythmia, also known as arrhythmia and irregular heartbeat. As long as I follow my doctors' orders, I should be fine. I also have Bella; she is trained to detect any irregular pattern in my heart. I am sorry you had to find out like this." 'Why do I have this feeling of warmth around me, like I known this man for a awhile. Maybe it is my memories slowly coming back.'
Please R&R I much appreciated, thank you and come again. AAHK917
