"I can't do this Booth…" she chattered nervously as he drove.
"Temp… calm, breathe… don't start hyperventilating again." He looked over at her as they stopped for a red-light. "Remember what I said… just hold it together for them and then I'll be there for you…"
She nodded, sobering herself. "So you want me to lie to them? Tell them everything is okay? I'm okay? Nothing's wrong at all?"
"No Bones…" he sighed in frustration, not at her, but with himself. For not knowing how to properly explain this to her. "Let them see that even though you're hurting, you're attempting to work through the pain. And that you'll help them work through it… as best you can…" he smiled and added, "And Uncle Booth will be there to if they need him…" to lighten the mood.
As the light changed to green, she laughed a little and wiped away her tears, "Uncle Booth? That sounds like that John Candy movie…"
"Uncle Buck?" he just looked forward and cracked a smile, "Buck and Wanda… Oh God… I could really be Uncle Buck…"
"You're so weird…" her smile faded as they pulled into the driveway of their destination.
"We're here Bones… you ready?" he put the car into park, and shut off the engine.

Her and Booth both stared at the door for a moment and then Brennan finally knocked on it.
