Thanks for the reviews. Last time I checked, I only got 5 reviews for chapter eight (sighs) PLEASE REVIEW! P.S: Bonnie's birthday is coming up in a few chapters.
Chapter nine: The Last Straw
Brennan's POV:
Today was my sixth month of pregnancy. I had taken Bonnie out to McDonalds like I do every Friday. As we walked into the house we were greeted by a drunken Derek.
"Bonnie, go off to bed now. I'll be in to tuck you in soon." I said.
"No, let her stay." Derek slurred.
I pulled Bonnie close to my oversized stomach. Her head rested gently against it.
"What do you want?" I asked worriedly.
"Answers…" he stumbled closer, "This bastard child in your womb, is it Booth's?"
I covered Bonnie's ears, "Derek, we went over his a million times. It's yours."
Derek scoffed, "Sure it is."
"Daddy, aren't you excited? Mama's having a boy." Bonnie said smiling.
Derek looked down at her, "I want this baby as much as I wanted you. I NEVER wanted you! Why can't you get that through your thick skull!"Derek snapped.
Bonnie looked at her father sadly, "Don't you love me daddy? I love you."
Derek smiled evilly at Bonnie, "What's there to love?"
I snapped, "OKAY! I HAVE DELT WITH YOU FOR FOUR YEARS! I HAVE PUT UP WITH YOUR ABUSE BUT WHAT YOU SAID TO MY DAUGHTER WAS UNCALLED FOR! YOU CAN TALK TO ME LIKE THAT BUT NOT TO HER! SHE LOOKS UP TO YOU, YOU GOD AWFUL BASTARD!"
I was shocked by the words that escaped my mouth. I meant every one of them.
Derek's face turned red. He lifted up his hand as to slap me.
I pushed Bonnie away so she wouldn't get hurt. I closed my eyes and waited for the pain.
"PLEASE DADDY NO! DON'T HURT MAMA! PLEASE! PLEASE DADDY NO! NO! LEAVE HER ALONE! HURT ME INSTEAD! NOT MAMA! PLEASE DADDY PLEASE!" Bonnie sobbed running at Derek and beating at his knees.
"SHUT UP GIRL!" Derek barked.
He bent down and slapped Bonnie hard across the face.
Bonnie stumbled back in shock and fell on her butt.
"Bonnie!" I cried out in shock, running over to my baby and scooping her up.
"Mama! Daddy hurt me! He hit me mama why? WHY?!" Bonnie sobbed.
Bonnie had a red streak mark across her face. I ran into my bedroom door and locked it behind me.
"TEMPERANCE YOU BETTER LET ME IN RIGHT NOW!" Derek banged against the door.
I set Bonnie on the bed and grabbed my phone. I dialed Booth's number and waited for him to answer.
"Please answer." I whispered franticly as the banging continued.
"Hello?" a voice answered.
"Booth!" I gasped.
"Bones? What's wrong?! What's that noise?!" Booth could sense my urgency.
"Booth! Derek hurt Bonnie! I locked Bonnie and me in my room but Derek is breaking down the door. I don't know how much longer I can hold him off!" I whispered franticly into the phone.
"He hurt Bonnie? That son of a bitch! Hang on Bones. I'm coming! Just stay on the ph-"
My door burst open with such a tremendous force that I had to hold onto the bed to keep from falling.
Derek stormed over to me. I backed up.
"RUN BONNIE RUN!" I shrieked as Derek slapped me across the face.
Bonnie stood frozen, "No mama." She whispered.
"Bonnie! Now is not the time to disobey me!" I screamed, wrestling with Derek.
"Mama." Bonnie whispered.
"GO!" I cried.
Bonnie jumped off the bed and ran out of the room.
Derek started to force me to the ground, "Where's your FBI in shining armor now Temperance!"
"Booth's going to come! He'll kill you!" I yelled.
Derek face turned red and I watched in horror as he lifted up a lamp and swung it as hard as he could into my side.
I gasped and stumbled back in shock before collapsing to the ground.
Everything started to fade. I heard voices, familiar voices, my friends and Booth.
I tried to stay awake but my mind was shutting down.
Save Bonnie Booth! Forget about me. Save my child…
Is Bones okay?! What about the baby? PLEASE REVIEW to find out!
