Thanks for all of the wonderful reviews.

I've decided to update the next two chapters sooner than I had originally planned. You will see the next chapter tomorrow. My story has had great reviews and I really appreciate it. I sense that my story is confusing readers and since the next chapter will clear up everthing I decided to just move my story along. Thanks for your patience.

I don't own Bones.

Ooooooooooooooooooooo

Staring at Booth, Brennan watched his still face, "I've read about cases of brain trauma where the patient was in a coma for over a year and suddenly woke up. You've been in your coma for three months, Booth. I think it's time for you to wake up."

Sighing, Brennan stood up and walked around his bed. Leaning over him and studying his face, Brennan smiled, "You really do have a lovely zygomatic arch. If you'll remember, I've told you more than once that I find it attractive."

Placing her finger on Booth's cheek, Brennan traced it down to his jaw and then up to his lips. "I find your appearance to be quite pleasing. I have since the first day we met."

Glancing at the closed door, Brennan leaned closer and kissed Booth tenderly on the lips.

Feeling foolish, Brennan straightened and walked back over to her chair, "I know I shouldn't have done that; but, I needed to do that just in case. . ."

Clearing her throat, Brennan looked down at her hands, "I forgot to tell you that Sully came by my apartment. I told him that I didn't want to see him anymore. . . . I should never have gone with him, Booth. I thought it was the right thing to do at the time; but, now I know it wasn't. Sully and I are not really compatible. He's irresponsible and doesn't have a thought for the future. . . . I found out that while I was with him, he was intercepting all of my mail and my phone calls. He threw my mail away and kept anyone that who tried to call me from talking to me. . . If you wrote me then I wish to apologize for not answering your letter. If I had received a letter from you, I would have answered it. . . . I hope you didn't think I didn't care about you anymore. I have considered you to be my best friend for quite awhile and going with Sully didn't change that fact, Booth."

Feeling a tear roll down her cheek, Brennan reached up and wiped it away. "I've been alone most of my life and I've had to rely only upon myself for a very long time . . . You entered into my life and you showed me that it was possible to be friends with someone and be able to count on them for support. You have been very supportive of me, Booth. Even when you disagree with me, you've always been supportive."

Staring at the window, Brennan sighed, "I realize that it might have been cowardly of me that I didn't try to call you while I was gone. I was going to call you several times to see how you were doing; but, I thought perhaps you might be disappointed in me. Perhaps, I was afraid that if I talked to you on the phone I would hear that disappointment in your voice and I didn't . . . I promised to help you with your cosmic balance sheet and then I left with Sully. I broke my promise Booth. I'm sorry."

Standing up again, Brennan leaned over Booth and placed her hand on his blanket covered arm, "I've never told you this; but, when the Gravedigger kidnapped me and buried me with Hodgins in my car, for awhile I was afraid. I was afraid that I would never see you again and that you would never know what happened to me. I was afraid until I thought about how strong and determined you are and I knew you would find me. I knew that you wouldn't give up searching for me. If you hadn't been in my life at that time, if you hadn't already shown me that I could rely on you, I would have given up. The only reason I fought so hard to survive was because I knew I needed to give you time to find us. I knew you would never give up looking for me and Hodgins. . . . I won't give up on you either, Booth. I'm here for you no matter how long it takes. You can count on me."

When Saturday arrived, Brennan awoke early that morning and drove over to Booth's apartment building. Checking with the apartment Super, Brennan had found out that no rent had been paid on Booth's apartment for the last two months.

The Super explained, "I heard he's in the hospital in a bad way. His brother was supposed to get back to me two weeks ago about Agent Booth's possessions; but, he hasn't done it yet. I was going to give him until the end of the month and then I was going to pack up Agent Booth's stuff and move it all to the basement. I couldn't get his brother to tell me if Agent Booth would be coming back or not; but, there was no way I was going to throw that man's stuff away."

Nodding her head, Brennan replied, "Yes, Agent Booth will be coming back, I'm just not certain when. I wish to thank you for your patience. I will make sure to tell him of your kindness."

Writing a check for one years rent, Brennan demanded, "Please make sure that you check his apartment at least once a week to make sure that everything is in working order. He'll be away for awhile and when he comes back, he'll need to find his apartment as he left it. I'll come by every Saturday to clean the apartment and make sure that his mail is being picked up and his bills are being paid."

Grateful that he wasn't going to have to take action against Agent Booth, John Belcher smiled, "Thanks, Dr. Brennan, you're a real peach."

Staring at the Super, Brennan advised, "Please do not tell Booth's brother that I am taking care of the apartment. It really isn't any of his business. Just tell him that the market is soft and since you probably can't rent his apartment right now you'll leave everything as is. If Jared offers to pay the rent, then feel free to take it and consider it a bonus."

Grinning, John replied, "Gee thanks, Dr. Brennan. I don't think he'll offer but if he does I'll take it."

Restless, he paced between the window and the hospital room door. Glancing at the figure in the bed once in awhile, he felt the nervous energy he'd built up sitting for so long finally start to bleed away. Finally slowing down, he turned once more and looked out of the window, "It's still cloudy today. You'd think the sun would come out at least once in awhile. It's been this way for days. I'd like to feel the sun on my face."

Staring at a flock of birds flying by, he smiled, "Parker called me last night. He told me to tell you that his mother took him birding on Sunday. He added three birds to his life list. He's really interested in birds now. That book you gave him on birds really excited him and those binoculars must be pretty good because he just goes on and on about how he can study those birds and see every detail on their bodies and not have to get close enough to spook them."

Sighing, he turned away from the window and walked over to the chair and sat, "Rebecca may bring him over this coming Saturday. He said he'll bring his list of birds with him and let you know what he's added so far."

Hearing the whirl and click start, he watched the cuff start to inflate. Watching it slowly increase in size, he saw it pause and then slowly deflate again. Shaking his head, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. "God I am so tired. It's hard to sleep anymore. I watch you lying there and I think about what happened to you and it just tears me up. The whole thing just tears me up. . . . Please open your eyes. We need you. I need you." Opening his eyes, he studied the deflated cuff.

Feeling the tears start to stream down his face, he wiped angrily at them. "Please, wake up . . . Please?"
