I don't own Bones, I know I have 206 in my body, but the Bones from Fox isn't mine.
Healing
The ambulance sped toward the hospital while the EMT's tried to keep Temperance alive. She had extensive injuries and they were doing everything they could to keep her alive.
"Hey Charlie, did you grab the paperwork from the glove compartment like I asked? ", the driver asked.
"Yeah, it's right here, but I don't know if she's going to make it, we need to hurry."
"Well I'm going as fast as I can, we don't need another accident on our hands, these roads are so narrow and winding."
"I know, just hurry if you can. "
They arrived at the hospital and the doctors immediately rushed her into surgery. The driver handed the paperwork to the nurse in charge, before leaving on another call. The nurse looked at the name on the rental form, and gasped in surprise. They had the author Temperance Brennan in their hospital. The media will love this. She quietly went into the surgical wing and contacted the doctor in charge.
"Doctor Reilly, do you know who this is?"
"I don't care right now she is severely injured and all I'm concerned with is whether or not she will make it. "
"Well just so you know that is Temperance Brennan, just thought you would want to know."
"What, are you serious? Well do me a favor and keep this quiet for a little bit. We don't need a circus sideshow in our lobby right now. I'm not even sure if she will survive, let alone deal with press and fans."
"OK, doc, whatever you say. Here's her rental form and all other information, I'll let you handle this as you see fit." The nurse left the doctor alone to do his job.
Wow Temperance Brennan, the one person he always wanted to meet. He looked into her battered face, and tried to see the resemblance, but failed miserably. Maybe the pictures on the dustcover of books weren't as good as the real thing. He frantically began to assess her injuries.
Twelve hours later, he walked out of surgery exhausted, and thanked God, for His help in saving this woman's life. He knew that she never should have made it, but he thought Someone was watching over her that evening.
Tuesday
"Has she shown any signs of waking up yet?" the doctor asked the nurse on shift that morning as he arrived onto the floor. He still didn't announce to the world who she was. He knew this was a major breach of protocol, but he felt in his gut, that this was the right thing to do.
Wednesday
Temperance felt an immense amount of pain throughout her whole body. She didn't want to wake up. She didn't want to feel this pain, but knew if she asked they would give her something to help her feel better. She struggled to open her eyes, but as she fought the blackness, she failed, and she slipped into a deep sleep.
Thursday
"Well hello sleepyhead. We've been waiting for you to wake up." Doctor Reilly greeted her.
"Where am I?" Temperance asked sleepily.
"You're at St Anthony's hospital in Gig Harbor, Washington. You were in a horrific accident, on Saturday and have been unconscious ever since. How are you feeling Dr. Brennan?"
"Who am I? I don't remember anything. I can't even remember my name. You said I'm a doctor. What type of doctor? I'm so scared and in so much pain, can't you help me to remember?"
"Well we know you are Doctor Temperance Brennan from Washington D.C. You're an author and a forensic anthropologist who works at the Jeffersonian Institution in Washington D.C. Is there anyone who you would like us to contact for you?"
"I don't know who to contact, I don't even remember my name, how would I know who to contact?"
"Would you like us to contact the Jeffersonian to see if they know anything about you, or any information about family we can contact?"
"Yes, maybe that's the best place to start. I'm getting very tired; I need to go to sleep. Maybe when I wake up I will remember everything that has happened"
"OK, well I'll send the nurse in to give you something for pain, and I will be back later to check on you."
"OK and thank-you doctor."
Doctor Reilly left her room, and wondered what to do now. He didn't contact anyone to inform them of her whereabouts, and now he was wondering if that was a mistake. He wondered if someone out there was missing this beautiful woman. Her eyes were such a beautiful blue color, and she seemed so helpless and confused. After the doctor talked to the nurse in charge, he went to his office to make a very important phone call, hoping that someone would be able to shed some light on the world that this woman is a part of.
