Disclaimer: See earlier chapters. Too lazy to write it out. Haha!

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. Thank you to all my reviewers. They are what keeps me going. I want to at least get 50+ reviews before this story is over. Please help me get there! Thanks! X )


Brennen ran so fast down the hall that she skidded to a stop outside Angela's hospital room. She could hear sobs coming from inside.

"H-he's g-gone?" she asked Zack who was at the foot of her bed with a solemn look on his face. Brennen slowly made her way inside and tried to comfort her best friend.

"Ange - "

"Did he say anything before he died, " Angela asked, the last word thick on her tongue. "Anything about me?"

"Ange. Dr. Hodgins is not dead. Zack and I mistook him for another person. I'm sorry to make you go through that. Zack left before I could tell him."

"What!?" Zack and Angela said simultaneously, shock clearly evident on their faces.

Brennen cleared her throat and tried again, confused as she knew she had been loud when she told them. "I said that Hodg - "

"No. I heard that part," Angela waved her hand dismissively. "So he's okay?"

"He's sore and a little lethargic but he's awake and communicating," Brennen said, smiling.

"Thank God!" Angela sighed with relief. "So? Can I see him?"


Cam was so preoccupied with playing toys with Andy on her office floor, that she disn't see Booth standing in her doorway. He cleared his throat loudly to their attention.

"Hey, Cam," he said, then turned his attention to Andy. "Hey, little guy!" He went over and swooped him in his arms, glad to have him back in them.

Cam picked herself off the floor and dusted at her knees. "Oh, hey Booth. So how'd the interrigation go?"

"Good. He confessed to killing our girl in the warehouse and gave us his accomplice's name and location, but he's never had any real contact with Gormoggon," Booth said, rocking Andy up and down. "But we're one step closer to finding him." He started to kiss Andy's hand, making him giggle. "So, is it okay if I take him? Brennen probably wants to see him after everything that's happened."

"Sure. Go ahead. I'm just gonna finish up the details and then head home myself. It's been a long day.

"It sure has."


"Home, sweet home!" Booth said, putting Andy on the couch and flopping right next to him.

"It sure is. I'm so tired. It's," she looked at her watch, "10. Andy must be really tired."

"Aw, nah. He's still got a lot of energy in him." He tickled Andy's stomach, making both of them laugh.

"You're right. He's been around you too long!" she said, flopping down next to Andy. He wanted to get down so he let him.

"I resent that," Booth said with mock hurt.

They both laughed and Booth finally decided to tell her what he was going to tell her yesterday, which seemed so long ago. "Listen, Bones. I have something to tell you," he took a deep breath and continued. "I - "

Out of the blue, Andy spoke, and motioned for Booth to pick him up, wagging his fingers, "Dadda!"
