Angela knows how to fix everything! yay! bones is fox's amazingness, not mine : (
"Hey Brennan, are you okay?" Angela hugged her best friend who was sobbing.
"You d-d-didn't have to come. I-I'm okay, really…" Brennan said in between sobs. Angela sighed.
"It's okay sweetie, let it all out." Brennan cried. She cried out her frustration, her anger, her confusion, her everything. She was so overwhelmed with emotion; this is what he did to her. She could never seem to understand, but instead got in the way.
"Maybe he was right…" Brennan thought aloud.
"Who was right about what Bren?" Angela questioned.
"Booth…he said I was always in the way." Angela smirked.
"He said that?"
"Yes."
"Why do you think he doesn't get a new partner, like Zach?" Brennan shrugged.
"Because I am the most experienced, granted Zach has an immense and amazing capacity to catch anomalies, anomalies that I sometimes miss, and…" Angela smiled and placed her hand on Brennan's shoulder.
"Calm down Brennan, stop rambling." Brennan blushed, and Angela took her hand.
"He cares about you Brennan and you can't say that you don't" Brennan nodded.
"I care about him…" Angela eyed her.
"And?"
"I don't know if he cares about me." Angela rolled her eyes.
"What about that essay?"
"Well I saw the true Booth when he found out about Parker, and I just got in his way!" Angela frowned.
"What happened?" Brennan shrugged.
"He's hurt."
"Parker?"
"Yes."
"Go to him Brennan."
"Parker?"
"No, Booth!" Brennan shook her head.
"He doesn't want to see me."
"He NEEDS you Bren. Go, please. Go for me, and then never again?" Brennan nodded.
"Fine, for you. Then you will leave us alone?" Angela nodded.
"Of course." Brennan huffed, grabbed her purse and jacket and walked out the door. Angela picked up her cell phone.
"Booth."
"Hi Booth, it's Angela. Listen to me, I have somehow convinced Brennan to come talk to you, you two need to sort this out. Promise me you will remain calm okay? She thinks you hate her, you need to talk to her."
"What? Angela I-"
"No excuses. Bye Booth." Angela hung up with a smirk. She was crossing her fingers. She knew this was their last hope.

Booth snapped his phone shut and continued pacing up and down the hospital floor. Great, now I have pissed off Bones, on top of my son being hurt. My life gets crappier and crappier. He saw a doctor walking down the hall but frowned when he passed him. He had to see his son or he was going to go crazy. Where was Rebecca? Oh yeah, stuck in traffic…
"Mr. Booth?" Booth turned around to see a smiling doctor. He relaxed a little. They always smile when they have good news.
"How is he?"
"He is going to be fine, just a minor concussion, he is sleeping, but he told me to give you this." He handed Booth a robot made out of legos, and Booth felt the tears spring in his eyes.
"You can see him sir, if you would kindly follow me."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Brennan stood in front of the hospital, wondering why on earth she was here. She walked in, and didn't see Booth. That was a bad sign. She walked up to the front desk.
"Um, hello, I am looking for a patient."
"Sure ma'am. Who is the patient?"
"Parker….um…Booth."
"Okay, we have a Parker, around five years old. But only family is allowed to see him." Brennan sighed, but once again lied to find Booth.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Booth heard a knock on the door and saw a nurse.
"Mr. Booth, your wife is here to see you." Booth looked puzzled, until he saw an embarrassed Brennan shuffling in. If this had happened on any other occasion, he might've laughed, but not today.
"Hi Booth."
"You posed as my wife huh?" He couldn't help smirking.
"Yes, I had to get in, and this was the only way." Booth nodded. Brennan saw the lego robot, and walked towards it. Booth smiled as she picked it up.
"Did Parker make this?" Booth nodded.
"It was meant for you Bones, as a present." Booth started crying; he hunched over, and turned away from Brennan, embarrassed by the tears streaming down his face. Suddenly he felt a hand on his back and turned slightly. Once he did so, Brennan pulled him into a warm, gentle hug.
"Remember, when you were scared, you would hug me?" She whispered in his ear. He smiled and stroked her hair. She stayed there for a long time, until he was getting embarrassed, and was about to push her away until they both heard movement. They looked at the bed, instantly breaking their embrace. Parker smiled at them.
"Hi Dr. Bones, did you see my robot?" She picked it up, smiling.
"Yes, it's very nice. I used to make these." Parker's eyes widened.
"Really? Wanna teach me more about it?" Brennan laughed.
"Not until you get better." Booth smiled, and placed his hand on her back.
"Parker, she's right. You need to sleep bud." Parker nodded, and closed his eyes, with a huge smile on his face. The doctor walked in.
"Hello, as the parents, I know you two are concerned, but we need you to leave for the night. You can visit tomorrow." Both of them nodded, not really processing what he said. Brennan smiled and reached for his hand as they walked down the hospital hallway. Booth looked at her curiously.
"Bones…" Brennan flashed him a small smile.
"It's a sign of support from a partner, Booth. Not meant as anything more than that." Booth nodded, and took her hand. She was changing too fast for his rate, but he was still enjoying every minute of it.
