"Yes Is this Temperance Brennan?"

"Yes"

"Hello I'm a nurse at Howard University Hospital. We have a patient here by the name of Seeley Booth"

"I'll be right there." Tempe said hanging up the phone. "Parker! Parker come on!" Parker ran to her.

"What's the matter mommy?"

"Nothing. It is just time to go. Let's go get in the car."

"Okay mommy." Parker ran to the car and Brennan followed him. Bones opened the car door and let Parker in. She put Annie in her car seat and strapped her in. Then she strapped Parker in. She shut the door, got in the font, and buckled up. She turned on the car and drove the speed limit to the hospital. On her way to the hospital, she called Angela and asked her to meet her at the hospital. She got to the hospital about 10 minutes later. Angela wasn't there yet. Brennan picked up Annie out of her car seat and helped Parker out of his. Brennan rushed in the emergency room. She walked up to the desk holding Parker's hand and holding Annie with a baby bag thrown over her shoulder.

"Can I help you?" the nurse at the font desk asked

"Yes I'm looking for Seeley Booth. I got a call that he was here."

"One second" the nurse said starting to type on the computer. "Seeley Booth is about to be moved to surgery if you go to the waiting room I'll try to get someone down here to tell you what's going on."

"Can you tell me what happened?"

"The doctor will be down soon."

Brennan sighed "Okay" She lead Parker over to a seat and sat in the seat next to his.

"Mommy is Daddy okay?"

"I don't know Parker. All I know his that her got hurt."

"Is he going to be okay?"

"I don't know Parker."

Parker looked down at his hands.

"It's gonna be okay Parker. I promise."

Parker nodded his head. 10 minutes later Angela walked in the emergency room and saw Brennan and the kids.

"Hey sweetie are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine." Brennan turned to Parker "Will you go over there and look though a magazine?"



"Okay mommy" he said getting up and walking across the room and started looking though a magazine.

"Angela can you take him with you until I find out what's going on with Booth?"

"Yeah I'll take him back to my place."

"Thank you." Brennan said then sighed. "Where's Violet?"

"She's with Jack."

Brennan nodded her head. "I'll walk out to the car with you to get Parker's car seat."

"Okay. Come on." Angela said helping Brennan up. "Come on Parker!" Angela said in his direction. Parker ran to her as they all walked out of the hospital to the parking lot. Brennan put Annie in her car seat and strapped her in. Parker and Angela were standing near the back of the car. Brennan got Parker's car seat out of the car and handed it to Angela who was talking to Parker. Angela took the car seat. She picked up Annie's car seat (Annie was in the car seat). Brennan walked to the back of the car and sat Annie's car seat down. She bent down in front of Parker.

"Parker you are going to go with Aunt Angie, okay?"

"Why?"

"Because she is going to take care of you for a while until daddy comes home."

"Why can't daddy come home?"

"I don't know Parker." Brennan said pulling him into a hug.

"Okay mommy."

"Come on Parker." Angela said then held out her hand as Brennan let Parker out of a hug. Parker took Angela's hand and they walked to Angela's car. Brennan picked up Annie who was in her car seat and walked back in the hospital. Brennan sat down in the waiting room; she sat Annie in the seat next to her. Two hours later, at 6 o'clock, Brennan fed Annie again and still no word on Booth. After Brennan burped Annie and got her to sleep, a man in scrubs came towards her as she sat Annie back in her car seat.

"Temperance Brennan?" he said looking around.

"Yes" she said waving her hand in the air and picking up Annie's car seat. She walked over to the doctor.

"I'm Dr. Mark Ford. I'm in charge of Seeley Booth's case."

"How is he?"

"He's stable for the moment, but he had a lot of brain damage. He's in a coma." Brennan sighed as she looked down and started crying.

"Do you want to see him?"



"Yes"
