Disclaimer: I don't think so...Nope.
Author's Note: Hey guys! Thanks for all the reviews. In the beginning of this chapter it'll be back at the Jeffersonian with the squints then later I might tie it back to the hospital. I noticed that my chapters are getting smaller for some reason so here is a nice long chapter for you all. I'm trying to post up a chapter before I leave for California for Spring Break. Enjoy.

Jeffersonian:
Angela Montenegro sat her desk staring at a picture of Emma Baxter. 'Such a sweet looking little girl. How could someone do this?' She thought about Temperance and how her best friend had survived all of that and still turned into a respectable young woman. 'I wonder how she's holding up.'
That was how Hodgins found her. Staring at the picture with such a sad look on her face. He silently walked up behind her and placed his hands on her shoulder. "What's wrong?" he said softly. There was feeling to him that there was a silence he shouldn't break. Angela looked up at him and smiled lightly.
"It's just Brennan. I'm worried about her. This case hits so close to home." She lowered her head to look gaze at the picture again.
Giving her shoulder's a soft squeeze, Hodgins looked down at the picture of the little girl. Together they stayed like that for what seemed to be forever, but they knew it wasn't that long. "Brennan will be fine. She's with Booth and you know they secretly love each other." He tried to brighten up the mood, knowing that Angela couldn't resist talking about their undying love for each other.
It worked. "They are so amazing together. If only they could express their feelings, then all the sexual tension will come out." Jack watched as Angela talked about the relationship between Booth and Brennan, it was like Christmas day for her. Suddenly an idea came into his head.
"You know. We could always give them a push in the right direction. If you know what I mean." He had a mischievous grin on his face that could only bring out a smile on her face. Angela nodded full of excitement.
"You mean become matchmakers?" Her face was filled with light at that amazing idea.
Jack nodded and he had to smile with her. "Exactly."
Angela squealed with delight. "I knew there was a reason why I'm with you," she said before giving him a kiss on the cheek.
Hodgins pretended to be hurt. "I thought it was because I'm sexy."
"Don't worry. You are." She winked at him while her mind was running with ideas. Then her smile dropped a little as she remembered a tiny little detail. "But they're in New Jersey."
That was where Jack's face turned into a bigger grin. "That's where the plan gets even better." With Angela's confused face he continued. "I know a friend from college that works at the Princeton Plainsboro-Teaching Hospital."
He watched as his future wife's eyes get bigger with excitement. "Who?" Jack leaned in to whisper it to her, making a big secret.
"He works with..." Angela didn't get to finish because he was already nodded like his head was about to fall off. Hodgins clapped his together and rubbed them back and forth.
"We have some match making to plan."

On the Platform:
"Zack. Did you finish the analysis with the little girl's body?" Cam's voice drifted up onto the platform as she walked up the stairs.
The young doctor was hunched in front of a microscope, but as soon as he heard his boss's voice he immediately looked up. "Yes Dr. Saroyan." Cam nodded and waved her hand for more information. After a while Zack caught on. "Oh yes." He pointed to the screen where it showed the skull. "The crack looks like it was caused by a blunt object, but there's this circular shape on the skull. It must have been from the object that the victim was hit with."
"Good. Can you find out what the object was?"
Zack nodded. "I can as soon as I put the object together."
Cam smiled with satisfaction. "Great. As soon as we figure this out the better I'll feel about Dr. Brennan. She's not good with cases with foster children." She folded her arms across her chest then added, "Do you know where Angela and Hodgins are?"
"Angela's in her office and Hodgins just went to visit her. She seemed very worried about Dr. Brennan. I wonder if there's something she knows that we don't." Zack then copied Cam by crossing his arms in front of him.
Cam frowned. "Well as long as it doesn't interfere with the case..." She didn't get to finish because she saw Angela and Hodgins coming out of Angela's office with suspicious smiles on their faces. It seemed as though they were up to something and that always meant that it wasn't something good.
When they reached the platform, Hodgins and Angela stood in front of their boss and Zack. Angela was the first to talk. "You guys, we have an idea of how to get Brennan and Booth together."
Jack then continued, "But we need your help." He stopped there to see the expression on the other two's face. Cam's face was blank and Zack looked just plain confused.
Angela stepped in. "Please Cam. Can't you notice the sexual tension just coming off wave after wave from them. Don't tell me you don't notice that their crazy for each other."
Slowly Cam broke into a smile. "It's time they finally told each other how they feel. I swear I would've died if they didn't get together soon." Angela, Jack, and even Zack looked surprised. "What? It's like their made for each other."
"Well...okay. What about you Zack?" Hodgins asked the last squint that needed to agree with the plan.
Zack looked from him to Angela then to Cam. "We shouldn't be meddling in Dr. Brennan's personal life." When he noticed Cam frown he quickly changed his mind. "But then getting Booth and Dr. Brennan together would make her happy right?"
The grins appeared back on Hodgins, Angela's, and Cam's faces. "Good job Z-man." Jack clapped him on the back while Angela ruffled his hair. Zack smiled uncomfortably not sure he made the right decision.

Princeton Plainsboro-Teaching Hospital:
Booth stepped into the hospital with a bad feeling, but quickly brushed it off as a part of the case. When he saw Cameron talking to one of the nurses he hurried toward her. "Hey. Dr. Cameron right?"
Her eyes widened when she saw him. "Agent Booth. The boy woke up, but..." She got cut off by him.
"Great! He's in the same room?" He was so happy to hear that the only witness in the case was now awake for questioning.
"Yeah, but..." Cameron was cut off once again by Booth, but this time he didn't say anything. He just sped off toward the elevator. When the elevator closed with him in it, she finished the rest of her sentence with no one to hear her, "Your partner's in a hospital bed." She dropped her arms in defeat as she went to look for House.
As she walked around to find House, she found Chase instead. He was on the phone so she waited for him to be done before she made her appearance. When he shut off his cell phone he looked up to find her leaning on the door frame. "Listening in on private conversations?" Chase raised his eyebrows at her teasingly.
"No. Why? Talking to an old girlfriend of yours." She smiled so he would know she was just joking.
"How did you know?" He opened his mouth in a mocking surprised manner. That's when he received a punch on the arm. "Ow! I'm just playing. It was my old friend from college." He rubbed his, what he thought was bruised arm.
"Don't be such a girl Robert." Allison rolled her eyes. "How's Temperance doing?" She was worried about her friend, but she knew that Tempe was strong.
"Her vitals are weak right now, but there's nothing we can do until we figure out what's wrong." Chase rubbed her arms to comfort her. "We have two patients now."
She leaned into his chest and sighed. "Yeah. I saw her partner, but I didn't get to say that she was sick. He just rushed off to see the patient." Cameron closed her eyes and relaxed a bit.
Chase smiled. "Then he's gonna be in for a shocker."
