DJ was playing checkers with Dr. Brennan when Angela burst into the room, followed closely by Hodgins.
"DJ!" she screamed. "I'm so sorry it took so long for me to get here, my daddy was doing a concert that I was attending, and then he pulled me on stage with him to introduce me to the world or something, and then I used Hodgins fastest car and raced over here." She said, carefully hugging DJ the whole time.
"Raced is right." Hodgins said, "she was going like 90 the entire time." He said, holding out his hands to show everyone that they were still shaking.
"I'm fine, Ange." DJ said as Angela pulled away from the death-grip of a hug, "Seeley is searching for Agent Sullivan right now."
"Honey, we have something to tell you." Angela said, her voice instantly becoming serious. "While we were on the way here, Cullen called us. Apparently Sully had a bomb strapped around his waist when the swat team and Seeley arrived."
"What are you talking about?" DJ said, becoming angry. "Seeley can't be…no. I don't believe you. He's not…"
"No, Deej. He's not dead, but he's in surgery right now. According to witnesses, Seeley got the worst of the explosion. He had a concussion, and they're trying to relieve the pressure on his brain." Hodgins said, coming over and putting his hand on DJ's shoulder. "He also may have temporary hearing loss."
"No!" DJ screamed. "I was the one that was supposed to get hurt, not him!" Angela looked at Temperance, who explained about the note that they found when they found DJ.
"Sweetie, I called Zack. He said something about getting 'them' ready, and then he'll be here. I could've sworn that I heard little girls laughing in the background…" she said. Temperance and DJ began laughing. "What's so funny?"
"That was probably Aiden and Lily." Temperance told her. After noticing Angela's confused face, DJ told her about the quints.
"Why didn't he tell anyone!?" Angela screamed, causing a nurse to come and see what was wrong. After assuring her that everything was fine, DJ spoke.
"He didn't want them to get hurt because of his job." She told Angela. The awkward silence that was quickly filling the room was interrupted by a doctor entering the room, followed by nurses pulling Seeley in on a rolling bed and putting his next to DJ's.
"I'm under the impression that Mr. Booth's family is in this room?" DJ nodded. "Well I'm afraid the rest of you need to leave for a brief moment." Everyone except DJ left the room.
"Oh. Well, we have successfully relieved the pressure that was being put on his brain, and he has a broken wrist and temporary hearing loss. This will be his registered room. Are you his daughter?" he asked DJ.
"No, I'm his little sister."
"Oh. He was extremely lucky that his injuries were mostly superficial. By the way, my name is Dr. Collins. If you need anything else, please just use the call button. I'll be checking in on him along with nurses. Good day." He said as he left the room. After the nurses were done checking Seeley's vitals, they left the room.
"Seeley? Are you awake?" DJ asked, knowing that he was asleep.
"Are the nurses gone?" he said, opening one eye.
"Seeley! Why were you pretending to be asleep!?" DJ scolded him.
"I didn't want them to ask me all of those stupid concussion questions." He said as he sat up a little bit.
"I don't believe you." She said laughing. "What happened exactly?"
"When we busted open the door, Sully was sitting down watching television, that bastard. Then he held up his hand and pushed the button. The last thing I remember was turning for the door and then a loud bang." He told his little sister.
"Is—is he…dead?" she asked, tears welling up.
"Yes, Dannie." He told her.
"Good." She said, the tears now freely flowing. The silence was broken when five little children followed by four adults burst into the room.
"DJ!" Aiden and Lily squealed. The two girls ran over to their new best friend and began babbling about their newest toy that 'daddy' had bought them at the gift shop.
"Uncle Seeley, are you hurted?" Joey asked him. Seeley looked at Zack, confused why this child was calling him 'uncle'.
"I told them that they could call you Uncle Seeley. I hope you don't mind…"
"No, I don't. I'm already an uncle to my brother's three kids, so I'm used to it." Seeley said, watching Joey, Tony and Charlie try and get up onto his hospital bed.
"Uncle Seeley, did you die?" asked Charlie as he sat on Seeley's left thigh.
"No."
"Uncle Seeley, what's that on your arm?" Tony asked as he say on Seeley's right thigh.
"A cast. I broke my arm."
"Uncle Seeley, how did you broke your arm?" Joey asked him, sitting directly between his brothers and also right between Seeley's legs. Seeing Booth's pain, Zack quickly grabbed Joey and moved him next to Seeley's side.
"I got blown up." Seeley told them, thankful for Zack's move.
"Cool!" All three boys yelled.
"Zack?" came a voice from the doorway. Everybody looked and saw a tall redhead.
"Oh, hey Jessie." Zack said as he gave the woman a hug. DJ felt a pang of jealousy. "Everybody, this is…"
"Mommy!" screamed all five children at one time as they ran towards their mother.
"Well, you heard them. This is Jessica Andrews." Zack said. "Jessie, this is Special Agent Seeley Booth, Dr. Temperance Brennan, Jack Hodgins, Angela Montenegro, and Danielle-Jade Booth. DJ's my…" he began as Jessie went to shake DJ's hand.
"I'm his girlfriend." DJ said, smiling.
Talk about an awkward silence…
