I can't believe he left me here! He could have called them after we had talked! I was so angry, a few more hours wouldn't have made much difference, I had been in a coma for almost three weeks. I still couldn't believe it, nothing was ever easy. I had remembered everything about the accident, including telling Booth that I love him but I couldn't tell him again until I knew how he felt. He had kissed me; oh God it was a long time ago but I still recall how amazing it was. So he had kissed me but that didn't mean that he loved me. The doctor started talking and in some strange way I was grateful for the interruption.

"So, Temperance, I am Dr Watson and I have been treating you since you arrived here. It is good to see you awake; you had everybody worried for a while. Especially Agent Booth." She gave me the same look that everybody else does. Great, even my doctor thinks we belong together. Time to get away from this topic. "How bad were my injuries?"

"He never left your side you know, well until that spirited friend of yours intervened and told him that he could do with a shower." She laughed and I just glared until she moved on. "Well, in total you have three broken ribs. Your left ulna was severely fractured, that is healing very well. Your gallbladder, pancreas and stomach were all torn due to the branch and we had to keep a very close eye on you after the emergency surgery as we had to revive you three twice." She stopped talking. I think she finally noticed the look of horror I was wearing on my face. I should have died; it was amazing that I survived at all.

"Now, I have some questions for you. Do you feel up to it?" I just nodded my head in agreement. I couldn't do much else; I think I was still in shock.

"Okay. So how long ago did you wake up?" I watched as she went to sit in the seat that was recently occupied by Booth. I wish that he had just kissed me before he left. I hope he comes back soon.

"Temperance. Temperance, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I woke up just after sunrise. I didn't wake Booth as he was sleeping so peacefully. I spent over an hour thinking before he awoke. And please call me Brennan, everybody else does." I tried to be polite but I usually just come off as cold.

"Okay, Brennan. So, considering you have just woken up; how are you feeling?"

"A little hungry actually." My stomach was rumbling. I have an odd craving for Thai. Once again I thought of Booth.

"Well that is hardly surprising; you have been on an IV for a wee while now." She laughed once again and I realised that she was far too cheery a person; she would get on well with Angela. "How is everything else? How are your injuries, are they still sore? If they are I could increase the painkillers."

I could handle the pain; in fact I deserved the pain. I should never have run off and left Booth the way I did. "I'm fine; I don't require any pain relief." The only thing I required was Booth. Damn it, why couldn't I get my mind of him? There used to be a time when I rarely thought about anything other that my work, when did all of that change?

"Okay then. Now due to the extent of your injuries you are going to be stuck here a wee while longer."

"How much longer?" All I wanted was to get out here.

"Well, broken ribs usually take six to eight weeks to heal but because of your other injuries it may well take longer. The good news is that the bruises are healing a lot quicker than usual so if the abdominal injuries heal at the same rate then you might only be here for another two to three weeks. After which you will be able to go home and continue to rest a couple more weeks." If that was supposed to cheer me up it failed miserably. I was going to be stuck here for potentially another three weeks! Yet again I nodded my head to show I understood.

"Right, I will let you get some rest but I will be back to check on you very soon. Breakfast will be round in half an hour okay?"

"Thank you Dr Watson."

"No problem, I'm just doing my job." She stood up and quickly vacated the room, leaving me alone to wonder where Booth was. It shouldn't have taken this long to make a simple phone call.

Meanwhile

I called Angela's phone but Hodgins answered instead. "Hodgins, is Angela there?"

"Sure, she's in the shower I'll just get her." I paced up and down the parking lot as I waited to speak to Angela. It seems all I do these days is wait.

I was quickly startled out of my musings. "Hey Booth, what is it? Has there been any progress?"

"Actually there has been amazing progress. She's awake Angela."

She screamed, I think I've temporarily gone deaf. "Well that's great. We are on our way right now." I listened to her yelling at Hodgins, something about throwing some pants on, way too much information. "Wait Booth, if she is awake then why don't you sound happier?"

"She doesn't remember." I hesitantly held the phone away from my ear and waited for the squeal. It never came. "Angela, are you okay?"

I could actually picture her shaking her head back into reality. "Yeah, I'm fine, but how are you? What doesn't she remember?"

"She remembers everything right up until the evening of the accident. She can recall my funeral, she remembers working on the case but she doesn't remember telling me she loves me." Angela screamed again, I really am going to go deaf if she keeps that up.

"Angela, do you mind?"

"I'm sorry but she told she loves you!! I can't believe you never told me. I never understood why she ran off but now I get it! Hmm…" She was quiet for far too long in my opinion.

"Angela, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I was just thinking." Oh God,that was never a good thing.

"What about?"

"Nothing important. Right okay, that's us in the car we should be about twenty minutes."

"Okay. She's still in the same room."

"Hang in there Booth, she'll remember eventually."

"Thanks Angela, see you soon." I hung up feeling slightly better that I was going to get some help. However until then I had no reason to stay away from Bones. I made my way back to her room hoping that the doc was still there, that should keep Bones occupied for a while.
