Make Our Love Last Forever - Booth and Brennan
Chapter Two, I am Lucky to have You
Sometimes the greatest hero can be a man or a woman. The true definition of a hero can be just about anyone, it doesn't fixate on their color, race, gender, height or weight. The world just seems to be a better place with a hero, someone who gives a clear lecture on justice, the one who would find a murderer without hesitation, and one who always has a rational opinion on how the world was built. People who are strong and determined declare just how courageous they really are. Some are pushed to be a hero and some are naturally like that.
The air accelerated speed up to 70 to 80 miles an hour, the sun was banished from the sky, as the whirlwind of tiny white specks still fell down, it only got worse with time.
Brennan and Booth sat quietly on the sofa, not saying a word, nor leaving each others side. Booth's face was buried in his hands, he had no clue what to do with Parker. Now that he knew his mother might die one day made it even harder to talk to him. There were no tears in his eyes, just pain among his broken heart. Brennan watched him, hating how sad he was, tears filled her eyes, and then finally they rolled down her cheeks. She hated to see her husband like this, she hated it because he didn't talk to her about his feelings. For five years, Booth opened her up about her feelings, so, why couldn't she? Why couldn't she open him up like he did with her? Her heart beat increased, and her head become crammed with questions that had no logical answer to comprehend.
"Seeley..." she hesitated to at least say his name without managing to form some tears in her eyes. She closed them allowing those tears to fall. She wanted so badly to hear his voice, to feel his body heat, to laugh at his crazy jokes, and what she missed the most was his smile. She loved him, she cared about him, and she wanted him to be happy. He didn't look at her, but he knew she cared about him, he knew that his son meant something to her, he also knew she wouldn't give up on him. "....please talk to me." She tugged on his arm trying hard to hear his voice. Her smile grew when he finally looked at her.
"You know Bones," he remembered just how beautiful she was in the inside and in the outside. He laughed softly looking down to the floor, then back up at her again. "sometimes things have to happen eventually. People are born, and then they die. Its life, it's the way the world is built. And Bones, people fall in love. They have children, they get married, they grow old together, and then the process starts all over again. I should have protected Parker from knowing what was wrong with his mother. That's what fathers do Bones." There were tears in his eyes, thinking how messed up things were. "If his mother dies then he is going to hate me for never telling him what was wrong with her in the first place."
"Parker would never hate the wonderful father that you are Booth." Brennan said leaning her head on his stiff shoulder.
He gently rested his head on her head. "A good father does not let their son find out that their mother is going to die. Bones, he may never forgive me for keeping this a secret."
Her eyes shinned with love, hope, courage, and grace. "You can't keep the truth from him Booth." With that who knows how things will turn out, how god will give hope to those who deserve it in the first place. "Everything is going to be fine, he will be fine, and Rebecca is blessed to have you as his father. She is probably happy that you are his father because of all the good in you." she nodded and finally, she spoke from her heart. "Seeley, your love brings many things positive in this world. The way you stand up for people, and the way you love someone." she could go on, and on, and on, but she wanted him to get it by know just how important he was to her, and everyone else in his life. "I love the way you listen to people, I am sure Parker would be fine because of all the positive in him is in you. He will fight this critical part of life because you're his father."
Their heads were apart, while Booth looked at her warmly. "Thanks Bones, for giving me courage."
"You're welcome." She said touching his face, kissing him softly on the cheek.
"So what should we do now? It's your call Bones." He said smiling.
What Tempe wanted more then anything was him to get up from the couch and focus on the positive factors in Parker's life. He had his father, his step father, and he had Bones. All those people loved him dearly, with no doubt about it they all wanted to help no matter how difficult it was going to be. Her eyes seemed to have the answer, but she didn't know how to comprehend those thoughts. She tilted her head, focusing on how she wanted to word her analysis, or on her word usage, and saying something that wouldn't offend him. She sat upright, taking a deep breath.
"Booth, he has his step father, step mother, and of course he has you." She held his hand tightly promising never to let go.
She looked at her husband for a long time without looking away. She kissed him lifting him up from the sofa. Their chests were touching in the form of a heart while their faces were filled with a longing desire. They slowly moved closer to each other, their lips were locked with passion, and with love. They kissed, as the air became quiescent. When their lips parted, Brennan was smiling, looking at her husband. She laughed softly, leaning her chin on his shoulder. She felt safety in his arms, with all possibilities there was only hero in her world, and that was her husband. She felt him rubbing her back, she loved it when he would do that, it made her relax knowing that he was there. Her smile grew as she held him tighter.
"Booth." she said quietly.
"Yeah?"
"I think we should go see how Parker is doing."
He tried to think positive about everything she told him, but it didn't seem to work. He pulled from her embrace and stared deeply into her eyes.
"I think so." He said sharply.
They both smiled and walked towards the door, holding hands.
"Sweetie, I need to talk to you." Angela said grabbing her arm forcefully. Her face looked pale like she didn't sleep for days, her eyes were sore, and her hair was ravished.
Brennan didn't budge, she tilted her head feeling her puzzlement deepen. "Why?"
Angela's eyes grew wide. "Please Bren."
Tempe smiled and faced her husband standing next to her. She didn't say a word yet and Booth was getting worried about her.
'Please Booth, stay here with me.'
"What is it Angela?" Booth asked moving closer to Brennan.
Angela looked at him worriedly, she thought long and hard about telling him the truth, she did trust him, but something else was bothering her. "I'm sorry Booth, I really need to talk to Brennan alone. It's a girl thing that we do, you know-"
"Yeah." Booth said simply. He felt disgusted just thinking about what she was referring to.
Tempe looked at Booth, who just nodded. He released her hand unwillingly. "Booth, I'll be there in a minute." She said kissing his cheek softly. She watched him walk out of the interior, he looked sad, but she'd be there by his side in no time. The room seemed to get smaller to her, it seemed as if she was getting sick of Angela always bugging her. She rolled her eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at her best friend with sadness in her beautiful blue eyes.
"What's wrong Ange."
Angela looked down, "I'm," she paused as Hodgins walked past them.
Brennan leaned closer to her. "You're what Ange?" She was getting angry.
"I don't know how to say this Bren..."
Brennan's body temperature increased, she felt as if Angela needed to at least move on. Her sympathy didn't seem to work enough to hold the anger back any longer. "Ange." She paused, closing her eyes avoiding her friend for just a minute. "You really need to move on. I'm sorry sweetie, but you do. Everyday telling me just how much you miss being with Hodgins. I get that, but talking about it over and over will not fix the fact that you two aren't trying very hard to be together." When she opened her eyes, Angela seemed to look directly at her.
"You're right, you are always right!" she said sarcastically.
"Ange, I am not done." she said feeling discontent.
Angela stopped with anger, she turned around facing Brennan.
"You always help me, so why won't you let me help you?" at this moment Tempe felt very confused. "That's what friends do right?"
"Okay, I'll tell you." she said crossing her arms. "I ..... well......" Brennan nodded never looking away from her. "Hodgins and I went out for dinner, and things just happened." she lied.
"So, you slept with him?" she asked grinning.
Angela smiled. "Yes we did."
"That is a good thing right?" she asked moving closer to her friend with happiness. It was the first time in months that Angela had been her old self, and Brennan was enthralled.
"Well yes," she said moving her head up in a positive way, "but no." she said moving her head back down with distress.
"Alright now I am confused." Brennan said laughing softly.
"Bren, I cannot say it yet." she said just walking away from her.
'What is going on with her.' Brennan thought instantly.
Brennan wanted to go after her and force it out but her phone rang. "I'm coming Booth." she said clicking it off and walking out of the Jeffersonian. The walk to her husband felt long, too long. The tears built up, her patience was gone, and she didn't see Booth. And she needed him.
"Bones." Booth said coming through the doors as fast as he could go through them.
She smiled, running into his arms. "I don't know what's wrong with Angela, I really am anxious about what is going on in her head."
"I know, I know." he hushed her soft cries and they were on their way to pick up Parker from school.
