Sorry for the late publish, and since I'm writing two stories now, I think the chapters are starting to get a little bit shorter and I'll only be able to post one chapter per day. Check out my other story if you'd like. It's another Bones fanfic called "Wedding Bells" you might like it as well.

Most of you hate Hannah, I'm well aware, I hate her, too, but she's a good character to add spice to a story. Plus, you'll like what I do with her character. Here's the new chapter.

I do not own Bones!


"Hannah, she's here and she wants to know how you're doing." Sweets repeated as Booth stood there in shock.

"Sweets, the last thing I want is my ex showing up while I'm in a pissed off mood." Booth said getting ready to leave the shooting range.

"Why are you in a pissed off mood?" Sweets asked.

"Don't go there."

"Don't go where?"

"You know where, Sweets. You see that I'm in a bad mood so you wait until my gun is put up before you ask such a question because you know how I'll react to it."

"Booth, I think we should discuss this, you should come to my office later."

"Go to hell, Sweets." Booth walks passed him and makes his way out of the building. As he walked out the exit door, he bumped into Hannah. "Oh, I'm sorry." He looked up at the pretty blonde woman and he immediately knew who she was. "Hannah."

"Seeley." She smiled and gave him a hug. "Wow, I haven't seen you in forever, how have you been?"

"Just the usual, working on cases, putting those bad guys in jail. What about you? How have you been?" He smiled when he asked.

"Oh, just working on a few stories here and there, I actually just got back in town from France. I was doing a story there."

"That's great. I see you've been real good."

"Yeah, I can say the same for you. How's Temperance?" Those words took the smile off of his face and he tried so hard not to look too upset about anything, but she still noticed the vibe he was giving off. "Oh, I'm sorry, she must not be your partner anymore."

"Actually, it was a case. The evidence was pointing towards her, so she fled to get away from the system."

"Oh, Seeley, I'm so sorry. How long has she been gone?"

"Almost fifteen years. She's not coming back until I find evidence to prove her innocence." He sat on one of the steps and sighed.

She sat next to him. "She'll come back Seeley. From those months of knowing her, I could tell she loved you."

Booth let out another sigh. "I know." He then decides he should change the subject. "So, what's the reason why you wanted to see me?"

"Oh, Sweets must have already called you about that."

"Yeah."

"I changed my mind about marriage."

"Hannah-"

She cut him off. "I was wondering if we could give us another shot."

He looked at her for a moment and she was looking up at him hopefully. For a few seconds, he didn't know what to say.


Christine and Michael are walking back into the lab after Parker had dropped them off. They said their quick goodbyes as they split up heading to different areas of the lab. Christine walked up to the platform as security slid their card to let her through. "You know this isn't like Pelant." Cam told Daisy.

Daisy looked at her. "What do you mean? The cameras were tampered with."

"But anyone could have tampered with cameras, and Pelant likes to torture or turn this into a game, it's either someone else or it's Pelant with a hidden agenda he doesn't want us to know about." Cam mentioned.

"I'm not an expert, but shouldn't someone go back to the crime scene to check for anything anyone missed?" Christine said.

Cam and Daisy turn to her and instead of denying her request, Cam just nodded. "That's not a half bad idea since Booth wasn't really in his cop mode when he was there. Alright, little squint, you, Hoggins, and Booth get to go back to the crime scene. I'll call him."

Christine smiled, she knew she was officially a part in the investigation, she liked that she found something she could truly help out with. She learned most of it from her mother, but she sort of wished her mother would work in something she was good at it instead of wasting time being a teacher at a small town high school. Then Christine realized she hadn't called her mother in a while, she told herself she'll call her once she gets back from the crime scene to apologize for being so busy with that list her mother gave her.


"Seeley?" Hannah said. "You're not speaking."

Booth snapped out of the speechless state and looked away when his phone went off. "I'm sorry, I have to take this." He pulled out his phone and answered it. "Booth... Back to the crime scene?... Alright, I'm coming to get Hoggins and the little squint, tell them to be ready when I get there." He stood up. "Sorry, I've got to go back to the crime scene to see if we missed anything. Technically, I'm also training the girl who's helping us out with the case. She's Angela's boy's girlfriend."

Hannah stands up. "Alright, I guess I'll talk to you later and get that answer from you."

"Oh, Hannah." He sighed. "I did love you, and I really wanted to marry you when we were together, but you can't come back to me fifteen years later and try to get me back."

"Yeah, I knew it was a long shot, but it seems like nothing's changed." She still looked at him hopefully.

"Look, Hannah, I'm glad you stopped to see me, and it was nice catching up, but I love Bones now, I've loved her for a long time. Just because I haven't seen her in nearly fifteen years, doesn't mean that I'm gonna stop."

"Wow, you must love her a lot to still want to be with her after fifteen years."

"We're a family, we always will be, Bones, me, Parker, and Christine."

"Christine?" Hannah had not heard that name before which made her worry a bit.

"Christine's our daughter. She turned fifteen just a few days ago, even though she probably doesn't even know I exist, I still can't wait to meet her when I finish this case, which is the main reason why I have to the crime scene. It's about time I catch this son of a bitch."

Hannah didn't know why, but she smiled. "I'm happy for you, Seeley, go catch the bad guys." And that's when she left. And that was the last time he was going to see her. He was already in his car heading to the Jeffersonian to get Hoggins and Christine.
