A/N: I know the first two chapter of this fic are on the second episode but I wanted to write from other characters perspectives. I tried to do Hannah but it failed. Hope you enjoy. Let me know what you think :)
Cam POV:
I am really happy for Booth. It's been a long time since he's dated anyone seriously and he deserves to be happy. But a part of me can't help but be crushed by the situation. It really is sad. They were so close. So close to having everything. I had assumed that they would be a real couple when they got back. It seemed like the only option. Now, Seeley is happy with another woman. And Dr. Brennan doesn't know how to handle it.
It was clear when she verbally attacked Dr. Edison. She is not usually so aggressive, even if one of her assistants or one of the interns misses something. And just when I was going to get to her admit that Hannah's relationship with Booth was bothering her, Clark gave her a safe exit. I know he didn't do it on purpose but he gave her an opening to rationalize why she was so upset; and of course she took it. If she doesn't admit to herself that she is jealous and that she is affected by Hannah then there is no hope for the two of them getting together eventually.
Sweets POV:
Agent Booth seems genuinely happy to be with Hannah. I think he is. I believe it. He needed someone to choose him, to put him first. And Hannah did that, it makes him happy. But he isn't over Dr. Brennan. His awkward phone conversation in the car, yeah that wasn't just because he thinks I'm nosy. He totally knows that I know about what happened between him and Dr. Brennan and being so excited about another woman is still uncomfortable for him. I do think that he loves her, but I don't think those feelings are anywhere near as intense as they were (are? I don't know these two never fit the normal anything) for Dr. Brennan.
Wow. Those two, jeez. You think you know people so well that you'll be able to predict their responses but nope. Dr. Brennan completely stunned me when she admitted to having dreamt about being in a romantic relationship with Booth. That definitely brought up some of his "in the past" feelings. The fact that neither of them wanted to talk about it was totally predicable. I guess some things don't change. Although I think Booth didn't want to talk about simply because he is now happy in a relationship with Hannah. If it had been eight months ago, before my book ruined everything, well Booth wouldn't have taken the opening then at the diner, with me there, but I know he would have taken her to dinner later and they would have talked about it. It was so totally a perfect opening for him. And now he can't take it. Dr. Brennan obviously didn't want to talk about it because it was something emotional that she shared, plus you know, Agent Booth has Hannah.
Brennan POV:
Hannah is very nice. Her face falls very nicely within the golden ratio. Booth usually goes for blond women. Cam and I were anomalous for him. Booth seems very happy with her. He was certainly miserable before she arrived and was very happy to see her when she arrived unannounced at the diner. They kissed a lot. Booth usually does not like public displays of affection so I can only assume that he likes Hannah very much.
He said he loves Hannah. I believe him. Booth is usually very sure of himself when it comes to matters of the heart and emotions. Although he does adhere to the ridiculous notion that love lasts forever. It is just brain chemistry, people fall out of love all the time. Booth did. It is quiet evident that he was only reacting to me because I was present, my presence created the chemical reaction in his brain and he believed that he was in love with me. But once we were away from each other the chemicals that held the attraction to me faded and then Hannah's presence allowed the chemicals to flood his system again. It's all science. There is nothing mysterious about it.
He tried to tell me that it was better that the victims died in each others arms. It is endearing how he holds onto his notion of love. He doesn't want to realize that doing something so stupid as to take a bullet for someone is a meaningless irrational risk if you fall out of love with someone. We don't usually agree on the subject however. Our differences are irreconcilable; it never would have worked between us. I have to remember that my dreams are just dreams. They don't mean anything. He is happy with Hannah.
