Sweets couldn't help but notice the glow on Brennan's face when she entered his office.

Brennan looked great when she glowed. When she didn't she looked like a shrinking violet. She had looked that way since the hospital and the other times Sweets remembered Brennan glowing was when she and Booth decided to take the plunge and sleep together, when she was pregnant and her wedding day. The current glow wasn't quite as high as then and that meant one more issue to sort out.

"So how was the honeymoon." Sweets asked.

"Amazing. I never knew how much I missed having Booth's lips on my skin and his fingers on my back." Brennan said smiling.

"It made you feel loved?"

"Yeah."

"And is everything good between you and Booth?"

"Perfect. But… I'm still struggling to bond with Isabel."

"How so."

"She's not letting me hold her. I think she knows I'm scared."

"Of her?"

"No, just scared that she may die."

"You nearly lost her once. I know I said that it was natural for you to be scared of you losing her but I think your more scared because of what happened. If I'm going to be honest, she was lucky to survive on very little nourishment and constant beatings."

"Do you know what happened after Booth got me out of there?"

"I drove you both the hospital as fast as I could and when we got there, you were unconscious and when the doctors examined you, you had a weak pulse and so did Isabel. You nearly stopped breathing. You were fortunate enough to be rescued. If Riley had it his way, he would have done what your nightmares said."

"I know."

"You and Isabel went through this together and you need to remember that anything can hurt her. Not just one person."

"Anything?"

"You know that anything can hurt kids. Bookcases, TV cabinets, anything. You can't protect her from everything."

"I could if I bubble wrapped the items you just mentioned." Brennan joked.

"You could. But it would be beneficial for you if you try not to worry that she is going to get hurt."

"I still want another baby. Even after what happened."

"It's a bit soon to have another child isn't it?"

"I meant that even after I nearly lost Izzie, I would like more children."

"That's good."

"Dr Sweets, I think that these sessions have been beneficial. Without them, I would have died. Not physically but mentally."

"Did they change your opinion of psychology?"

"Maybe a little." Brennan smiled. "I've had my life saved many times. Mainly by Booth but by you and Parker also. If it weren't for all you three I may have killed myself earlier than when I tried to."

"I shall take that as a thank you."

"It is." both of them stood up and Brennan did something unexpected. She hugged him. Not just a small hug but a massive hug. Sweets hugged her back.

When Brennan let him go and smiled and walked out of the room.

Sweets walked over to his computer.

Patient: Dr Temperance Brennan

From my sessions with Dr Brennan, I have established how difficult and damaging the kidnap on her. Dr Brennan experienced extreme Post Traumatic Distress Disorder.

She was experiencing nightmares consistent with a fear of what Justin Riley could have done to her and her then unborn daughter.

Dr Brennan had also experienced sexual violence at the hands of Riley. The reliving of the incident caused her to think she wasn't worth loving but her husband proved otherwise….

"Bones?" Booth called as her returned home. He could see Parker knocked out onto the couch with an equally knocked out Katy on his belly. He had to smile at the pair of them because even though Parker was growing up and has a girlfriend, he still was an unbelievable softy when it came to his baby sister. Booth left the pair on their own and went upstairs.

Booth went into the bedroom and found Brennan sitting on the bed with Izzie in her arms. She was smiling and letting Izzie suckle on her finger.

Booth thought it was a perfect sight. His amazing, beautiful wife was cooing over their little girl. They had finally had a bond. And Booth swore that he fell in love with Temperance Brennan all over again.

The End.
