**I am pleased with this chapter and I hope you guys like it. Just please remember, I am not a writer, not trying to be one either. I just love the show and got tired of all these ideas running around in my head. So..please overlook my typos, misspelled words, and especially the grammatical errors.

Booth promised Brennan that they would be back to the lab by 9 am if she would promise him she would get some sleep. She agreed to his terms half heartedly and ask him to make her the same promise. He pulled her into one of their "guy hugs" and assured her he would sleep.

He dropped Brennan off at her place and drove straight to Rebecca's. When he knocked on her door, he was prepared for a fight. It was almost 5 am, nearly 2 hours before she usually gets up with Parker to get him ready for school, but he wanted to talk to his son as soon as he was awake.

"Seely, what's wrong..why are you here so early in the morning?" She knew him enough to know when something was bothering him, and something was definately up. As soon as she locked the door back and opened her mouth to speak, he held up his hand, as if asking for a moment. They walked over to the couch and sat down. He looked down to his hands which were clinched into fists on his lap. Taking a deep cleansing breath, he unclinched his fists and ran his sweaty palms up and down his thighs before he spoke. "I'm dying." It was almost a whisper but she had heard it.

"Oh my God! Seely, the tumor is back?" She was crying now as she held his hands in hers. "The doctors fixed you before, they can..

"No Becks. It's not the tumor. I've been poisoned. Bones too. I don't want Parker to know anything about this though. If we dont find a cure within the next 36 hours or so, and when he's ready, you can tell him ,if you want to. I just want to spend as much time with him as I can this morning before he goes to school." She nodded and stood, wiped her tear stained face, and walked towards Parkers room. Booth caught up to her as she reached his door, "Don't wake him yet." he said, "Please, let me lay with him for a while. I promised Bones I would sleep and this way I can do two things at once. Wake us at the time you usually wake him to get ready for school. Is that ok?"

"Yes" she told him as she helped him scoot Parker over making room for him, saying she would have a big breakfast ready when they got up. As she went to pull their sons bedroom door back closed, she broke down at the sight in front of her. Her first love holding her last love and whispering to him as he drifted off to sleep.

As soon as Brennan sat down in Booths SUV, they looked at each other and opened their mouths. "Did you sleep?" They both ask at the same time. "Yes" They both answered, again at the same time. "I went straight to Rebeccas, told her what was going on, slept in Parkers bed with him until she woke us a little before 8. She also let me eat breakfast with them and after Parker was ready, I drove him to school. We talked and laughed like it was any other normal day. I told him I loved him and promised to pick him up after school." Booth took his eyes off the road just long enough to ask if she had talked to her dad and brother.

"Dad is in Florida, or so he told me, Russ is in North Carolina with his family, and that is where they need to be. I do not want them to know that we have been poisioned and have approximately 36 hours to find a cure. I showered, slept until 8, made some toast and coffee, then called them both just as it was any other day. I did tell Russ that if anything were to ever happen to me, that Angela would be holding something for him. I think he knew then that something was up because he started asking questions, which I avoided, I told him I was running late and needed to get off the phone. He told me he'd call me later, then he said he loved me." She started crying as she looked at Booth, "My brother told me he loved me and you know what I said...sniff,sniff,..I said OK bye."

Thankfully they had arrived at the Jeffersonian, so Booth parked, got out and went to the passenger side, opened her door and pulled her to his chest. "Shhh! It's alright Bones. Russ knows you love him. You don't always have to say the words." He let her cry into his chest as he tried his best to sooth her. "When someone loves you, and you love them, saying the words doesn't make it true, it's your actions." He pulled back from her and she tilted her face up towards his. Her eyes were swollen, her face was blotched and what little make-up she had on, is now smeared. 'Still the most beautiful woman in the world' he thought. "It's your actions that prove it the most Bones." And then he touched his lips to hers. It was a soft kiss, like you would kiss a newborn, like you're afraid of hurting them. When he started to apologize, Brennan put a finger to his lips and said, "No, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry I didn't believe you sooner." Then she kissed him. She kissed him forcefully and he welcomed it. He ran his tongue out and traced her bottom lip, she opend her lips on a sigh, and sucked his lip into her mouth. Booth now had her pinned between his body and the SUV. One of his hands was on the small of her back, pressing her tightly to him, his other hand was wound in her hair at the back of her neck. Brennan had one arm around his waist, under his jacket but on top of his shirt, clinching fistfulls of shirt then dragging her fingers up and down his back. Her other hand was on his chest, doing pretty much the same thing. When the need for oxygen became too great, Booth tucked Brennans head under his chin and kissed the top of her head. "Actions" she said, and they both chuckled and held onto each other a minute or two more.

"Ahhheemmm!" Angela cleared her throat, and they turned to look at her, nither partner made a move to pull away or hide what they were just doing. "As much as I hate to break this up, and God knows I do..., we've got some info and thought you guys might wanna hear about it."
