Note#1; Okay so first of all; A very big thank you to all of my lovely reviewers. Second, Don't hate me! I know Parker is the cutest little thing ever and I wouldn't kill him in any other story, except this story because I wanted to show how Bones is Booth's cure. How he needs her because he just does. And Bones' writers are just evil for not letting them kiss already! So again, please don't hate me. :D

Note#2; If you're very emotional you might wna grab a box of tissues. It's a kind of sad chapter this..not too sad though I didn't cry writing it lol I'm that bad really.

Disclaimer; So have had enough of these. Okay I DON'T own Bones. I wouldn't be getting a job if I did now would I?


02.

Booth made his way towards his car, not noticing the rain that was pouring down his neck into his shirt. Not noticing his partner's voice behind him, calling him. He didn't feel anything, everything was a blur and if that car earlier handn't honked at him he would've been lying in the hospital now as well. Booth searched in his pockets for his carkeys, but couldn't find him as quickly as he wanted to. Before he could unlock the door of his SUV, his partner's voice behind him finally made him realize she had been calling him.

''Booth...''

He inhaled so deeply that he thought his lungs would collapse, before he slowly turned to his parnter who was now standing close behind him. Her bright blue eyes looked darker than usual and they were filled with pain and sympathy.

''Booth, is he - ?'' She didn't finish her sentence. She couldn't. Booth let out a sound that held between a choke and a sob, his eyes were red rimmed, but she couldn't tell if he was crying. The rain hit his face and the raindrops rolled down his cheeks, his tears could easily be mistaken for those raindrops.

''Bones – I. He didn't make it. There were...'' The FBI-agent bit his lip attempting to fight back his tears. His partner stepped forwards and wrapped her arms around his broad figure, pulling him close. Without protesting Booth laced his arms around her tiny waist and buried his face in her wet hair, allowing his tears to fall. She could feel his shoulders shake violently as he cried and she didn't fight to hold her own tears back.

''Bones..''

''Shh, it's okay.'' She whispered.

''You don't have to say anything.'' Her hand absent-mindedly rubbed circles on his broad back and she closed her eyes momentarily, patiently waiting for her partner to calm down. After several minutes in the rain Booth shoulders stopped shaking as much and he pulled away slightly, looking into his partner's eyes.

''Booth –'' Bones started, he interrupted her.

''Can I just go home?'' She let her teeth bite down on her lower lip and exhaled.

''Booth, you're in no state to drive right now. And you need to go back inside. You've got to..arrange some things.''

''But Bones..''

''Booth I'll drive you home when you're done okay? I'll go with you.'' She ran her hand down his arm and gently took his hand within her own.

''Come on.'' She lead him back to the hospital, never loosening her grip on his hand. Booth followed willingly, as long as she'd stay with him he knew he could do this.


About two hours later Booth unlocked the door of his apartment and he stepped inside, Bones in tow. He made his way to the kitchen without speaking and without looking behind to see if his partner was still there. Temperance closed the door quietly while a shiver spread throughout her body. Her wet clothes had become freezingly cold and she wondered why Booth didn't walk into his bedroom to change.

Maybe he's just not realizing that his clothes are soaked. She followed her partner into the kitchen and watched as he opened a beer for himself.

He placed his hand on the counter and downed his beer in less than 10 seconds. She walked over to him and placed her hand on his arm, making him jump slightly as if he hadn't noticed her presence in the room.

''Booth, you should get into some dry clothes. Maybe take a bath.'' He looked at her and shrugged one shoulder, putting the empty beer bottle down onto the counter.

''I'll run a bath for you okay? You get undressed, when you're taking a bath I'll drive to my apartment to get some dry clothes for myself.'' She started walking towards Booth's bedroom, but he grabbed her wrist to stop her.

''No, Bones you can't leave now.'' She turned to him, slightly raising an eyebrow. Fear had filled Booth's eyes and she let out a small sigh.

''Booth, I've got to change.''

''Borrow something of me. I need you to stay Temperance.''

Brennan felt her heart skip a beat when she heard him use her first name. He rarely ever did that. Only when he needed her to listen to him, she had learnt that over the past two years they had been working together.

''Okay.'' She agreed and she followed him slowly as he walked towards his bedroom. This could become a very long night.


She lay asleep next to him on the bed, her knees drawn up slightly and the sheets only covering the lower half of her body. Her arm was draped across her partner's bare belly which moved up and down slowly to the rhythm of his breathing. He was asleep as well, but not as calm and peaceful as she was. Night terrors were lurking in his mind and he as they slept close to each other he let out the occasional gasp, sweat starting to form on his forehead.

He shifted onto his side, her arm slipping off his body and falling down onto the mattress softly. His hands gripped the sheets that were covering his body and he pushed his legs out so they were straight, momentarily touching the foot of the woman next to him. She was woken up by their brief touch and a light groan left her mouth, indicating that she'd rather just go back to sleep. The shifting and heavy breathing that came from the man next to her, however, made her change her mind.

''Booth?''
