I know I'm an awful person for not having this up earlier in the week, I've just been procrastinating. I'm back on a schedule now due to school, so I'm going to try and update more regularly.

Enjoy!

Somewhere behind the steering wheel of a moving van in Ohio...

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah Ange, I am. My stuff is packed. I'm on the road, and I'm on my way to Chicago." Booth said.

"I just...I can't believe this. This is great. Is Hannah with you?" Angela asked, her voice faltering slightly.

"Nope, she's not. She's flying out to Morracco in about an hour."

"Did you two...break up?"

"No, we're just...at a disagreement in our relationship. We're going to discuss it further when she gets back."

"Do you want me to tell Brennan?"

"Yes."

"Okay, you didn't hear this from me, but she wants you to be...here."

"What do you mean, Ange?"

"She wants you to play your rightful role as Amelia's father."

"Did she tell you that, or are you just going on a hunch?" he asked.

"No, she told me. She started talking about all of this...anthropology mumbo jumbo on how kids benefit from having their dad in their lives. She's reconsidering, Booth. She really is. She misses you."

"I...thanks, Angela. For telling me, really. That makes this drive just a little more bearable."

"No problem Booth, but remember, you didn't hear it from me. I have to go, Bren just got done in the shower. I'll talk to you soon, alright? Call me when you get to Chicago."

"Alright Ange, talk to you later."

"Bye."

Booth ended the call with a sigh, he wasn't sure if it was of relief or of boredom. He looked at his lock screen and smiled, it was still the same photo he had taken of Amelia and himself during the fifteen minutes he had held her at the hospital.

He pressed lightly on the gas pedal, speeding up slightly. He needed to get to Chicago faster. His little girl was there, his child whom he has only had fifteen minutes with during her whole three months of life. Then his son, whom he hadn't seen in nearly a year, would be there within the next week. He was aching to see them, but he still had another six hundred miles, and several conversations with three different women, to go.

Brennan's apartment, Chicago

As soon as Booth hung up, Angela heard Brennan walk out of the bathroom.

"Who were you talking to, Ange?" Brennan asked from down the hall.

"Oh just a certain someone that you need to have a discussion with because you still love him and you birthed his child."

"Booth?"

"No, Ashton Kutcher," Angela said sarcastically, "Of course it was Booth!"

"Why did he call?" Brennan yelled from her bedroom.

"He called to inform me that he is on his way to Chicago."

"Again? Why?"

"He's moving here." Angela yelled to her.

"He's moving here, why?" Brennan asked, finally entering the living room.

"To be closer to his kids."

"But Parker doesn't live here, he lives in England."

"Not for much longer, Rebecca called Booth the other day saying that she got transferred to Chicago. Booth didn't want to be almost a thousand miles from his son, or Amelia for that matter, so he just found another apartment here. He also got a referral to the Chicago field office."

"Oh." Brennan said simply.

"Don't be like that Sweetie, you were telling me just the other day that you wanted him to be involved in Mimi's life." Angela said, gesturing to the infant in her arms.

"I do. I just wasn't expecting it to happen this soon."

Brennan took Amelia from Angela and stroked her cheek with a sigh. Angela was right, she did want Booth to be a part of their child's life. He is an excellent father, and her daughter would benefit from having a relationship with him, Brennan had said it herself.

"Sweetie, if you don't want him to be involved..."

"It's not that I don't want him to be involved, I just feel like it would be...awkward, considering the events that led up to her conception."

"He won't care, Sweetie. He loves her, and he loves you." Angela said, putting up a finger to stop Brennan from interrupting, "Do not even try to say he doesn't, because he does. He just settled for second best, and now it's coming back to bite him in the ass."

"What do you mean?"

"Hannah is pissed at him for moving, saying that he's not taking her into consideration while he makes his decisions."

"Well, she's right. Her job is in DC."

"But her job is easily replaceable. She could have gotten a new job as a reporter in Chicago just as easily as Booth did at the Chicago field office." Angela pointed out, "She knows that she's Booth's second best, that's why she is always so...snarky towards you. And now, with Amelia...it's just going to be a hot mess."

"I don't know what that means." Brennan said, "But Booth wouldn't have married Hannah if she was his second best."

"No, Honey. Booth married her because he couldn't have you. We accept the love we think we deserve."

"But I expressed my feelings to Booth before he proposed to her, if he really felt how you say he does, about me, he never would have proposed to her."

"To be honest, my theory is that he proposed to Hannah, expecting her to say no." Angela said, "We accept the love we think we deserve, Honey. He accepted her love because he couldn't have you, she was his rebound girl, and he didn't want to just dump her because he's a good man. But now, him staying with the rebound girl is backfiring, because he's starting to realize she's not the perfect Barbie he thought he married."

Brennan wanted to protest, but kept her mouth shut.

"He's going to be here later tonight, he'll probably be moved in within the next few days, you need to contact him, Sweetie. If you really want what you say you want, you'll make an effort." Angela said, standing up off of the couch, "It's almost Mimi's nap time, so I'll let you put her down so you can get some sleep yourself."

"Angela, you don't have to leave."

"But I'm going to. I know that you like to be alone when you think, so...I'm leaving you alone to think. If you think you need to talk out your thoughts, just call me, and I'll be over. Put that big brain to work, Sweetie. Start solving the equation of this problem to find the solution." Angela said, packing up and exiting the apartment.

DON'T WORRY! I won't keep you waiting much longer, there will be some B&B conversation within the next two chapters. I'm going to try and have two chapters up before the 23rd, expect a new chapter of Complicated up before the 21st.

If it's not too much to ask, drop by and leave a review :)
