AN: I don't own Bones but a girl can dream.

RECAP: Brennan jumped over the upstairs railings of the Jeffersonian and woke up in hospital.

Here is the next chapter of Daylight. Hope you enjoy!


I was scooping some breakfast cereal into my mouth when I heard some footsteps.

I watch as Sweets hurries over to me at the table. "Temperance, Temperance I have some news" he cries sounding out of breath.

I turn to him questioningly "What is it Sweets?" I ask as he sits on one of the chairs.

He lays the Real Estate guide down on the table before me and points to an advertisement. I look at the page and see the house that he was pointing at. As much as I hated to make decision and form opinions without any evidence I found the appearance of that house rather pleasing.

"It's okay I suppose" I say to Sweets who was looking eager to hear my thoughts.

He smiles "You wanna see all the rooms?" he asks as he grabs the iPad that was in the middle of the kitchen table.

I nod and wait as Sweets googles the house. We then watch the video which had a real estate agent showing us around the house.

I liked it; it had nice open spaces and lots of windows. There were four bedrooms. One for Booth and I, one for Christine, one for Parker and one guest room. There were also three bathrooms and room for three cars. I had to tell the insurance company that I was going to sell the house.

I smile at the therapist next to me "Thank you, I rather like the look of this house and wouldn't mind attending the open inspection," I tell him.

Sweets pulls me into a giant hug "I am gonna go with you, remember if you need anything I'm here" he says as he strokes my back.

I smile "Feel free to come along, when is the inspection anyway?"

Sweets quickly consults his iPad and looks back at me "This Saturday" he says promptly and I smile.

Everything was coming together slowly and that made me feel good.


THAT SATURDAY:

I heave a sigh "You two hurry up jackets on, and you Sweets stop playing silly face making games with Christine" I announce as I look over at my children and friend.

Sweets places Christine onto his high shoulders. The young man laughs as he carries the young child over to my side.

"We're ready Temperance" Sweets laughs as we all head towards my Prius. I was really hoping that this house would suit my needs.

"Welcome to this Open Inspection" begins the realtor "I'll show you the house then feel free to make your offers," she concludes.

Sweets still had my daughter on his shoulders and Parker was playing a game on the iPod that his father had given him.

I tap him on the shoulder disapprovingly and he puts the handheld device back into his pocket.

The realtor leads us into the house. "This is the entrance hall, perfect for welcoming guests in. The modern feel makes it appear homely and high class," she says.

I glance around at the walls. It was rather nice.

"This is the kitchen, with plenty of space for cooking up a storm as well as entertaining. Some bar seats also help make use of all the space"

The kitchen was set up with all of its hired furniture. I tried to picture Booth and my possessions lining the walls instead. I was beginning to get excited.

"Welcome to the family living area, adjoining to the kitchen this is the beautiful space where you can rest and enjoy some TV with a bowl of your favourite nibbles" she laughs and looks at Parker "Young man what is your favourite TV show?" she asks my young stepson.

I watch as Sweets elbows Parker who appeared to be a slight bit embarrassed "Modern Family" he whispers rather quietly.

The realtor smiles her fake smile "Well this room would be a perfect space to laugh about the Dunphy's and their families antics!" she cries.

Parker, Sweets and Christine all exchange knowing glances. Modern Family had the kids won over.

"Right here we have the downstairs bathroom, the laundry is over there as well. Marble tiles accentuate the rooms inner beauty and modern sink facilities supply you with a enjoyable experience even if it is just washing your hands" she laughs flashing her bright white teeth.

"Perfect space to read the paper" Sweets laughs as he examines the toilet.

I sigh and watch as he and the children giggle childishly.

The realtor leads us upstairs. The upstairs was just as nice as the downstairs, if not even nicer.

I could picture the corridor full of my own furniture and my young daughter running along the ground into her brother's room. The future of my family suddenly hits me I can't help but smile.

"Here is what you've all been waiting for, the Master Bedroom. It has an adjoining ensuite and is perfect for the couples to get you know…intimate," she laughs.

She looks over at Sweets and I "Are you two a couple?"

I blush a deep shade of red and Sweets does the same thing.

"No, no you have it all wrong" I stutter.

The realtor smiles "Who's that daddy then?" she asks.

I sigh, "He is in jail…" I say flatly "It is none of your business anyway".

The woman smiles "What did he do?" she asks nosily.

I watch Sweets sigh, "Falsified Murder Charges, leave her alone" he cuts in.

The realtor shrugs "Gee your defensive" she laughs.

Sweets gives her a look "Friends do friends favours" he replies defensively.

The realtor flicks her long blonde hair and turns back to all of the other people attending this open inspection.

I nudge Sweets and smile at him "Thanks" I whisper.

He smiles "Anytime Temperance" he responds as we follow the realtor into the other room.


"I want it Sweets," I whisper to the psychologist.

He just smiles "You have enough money right?" he asks.

I just nod "We have to make an offer though, I could probably go up to about…three million" I reply.

Sweets quickly shakes his head "No, no, no Temperance you have to start low, maybe one point six, one point seven million" he continues.

I nod "Yeah that sounds reasonable" I reply with a smile.

"Let's go ask the blonde realtor, okay?" Sweets says as we hurry along. Just then I knew that my life was suddenly coming together.


"We got it, it's yours" announces Sweets as he excitably bounces around the living room in my father house.

Christine and Sweets were doing a success dance and Parker was busy filming.

Sweets bounces over to my side "Temperance, you need to get up and dance with us" he laughs.

I take his hand and Sweets spins me around. I let out the first laughs that I had in months.

My young daughter hurries over to me. "I love the new house mommy," she giggles.

I just nod and scoop her up "I like it too baby and I know that your daddy will love it as well"

Christine just smiles and hugs me tightly.

I just wanted her daddy home. I wanted to show him around our house, our home. This wasn't like the house we had bought last time. We had found that house together. This time it was just something that I had to do alone. My family couldn't go on living in my father's house and I had to make an attempt to improve the state of things. I knew Booth would support all of my decisions but I still felt it to be wrong to do it all alone without Booth backing every decision.

I sway my young daughter back and forth. I hear her giggle and I knew that I had made the right choice.
