Angela Montenegro was cuddled up to her husband and reading 'goodnight moon' to their baby; Hodgins was laying with his head on her stomach and reading the book to the baby while Angela was eating a pint of cookies and cream ice-cream and running her fingers through Hodgins' hair. Their little moment of pure happiness was broken by persistent knocking on the door and Angela knew who it was immediately. She walked to the front door and opened it with her arms wide; Brennan practically ran into her arms; crying her eyes out. Hodgins had come out of the bedroom and saw Brennan collapse against his wife and moved to their side. He stood behind Angela and threw his arms around both women; holding them tightly.
"Dr. B do you want to stay here tonight?; I can get Alexi to make up the guest bedroom." Brennan was sobbing into Angela shoulder and didn't know what to do so Angela just nodded her head at her husband before giving him a smile. Hodgins let the two most important women in his life to the couch and walked towards the main hall.
"I don't want to intrude Ange, I'll just go home." Hodgins who had walked back in spoke causing Brennan's attention away from her best friend.
"Nonsense Dr. B, you're important to the both of us; you're staying and nothing you say will change that." Hodgins gave her a wink causing Brennan to laugh slightly. Brennan looked back at Ange and cuddled closer to her friend.
"He's right Bren; you are the most important person to us. We wanted to ask you if you would be our child's godmother, but that can wait. I want to know what happened first."
"Booth and I were at the Founding Fathers having our after case drink like we always did, but Hannah was there too. I don't get it, Booth always said to me what's between us is ours and now he throws our after case drink away into his own beliefs what he told me. I can't take it anymore Ange; I can't work with him anymore. Everything he says or said he's working against. When I dated Hacker I wasn't allowed to talk about Booth but now he doesn't do anything but to Hannah. He's telling her everything that happened to me and I don't want her to know that; I just want him to keep it to himself like I did for him but now he's lying to me... not in the sense of lying, lying but he's doing exactly what he said I couldn't do, I just can't take it anymore Ange. I need to be away from him, I need to be away from it all." Brennan's tears had resurfaced and Angela was hugging her best friend tightly. Hodgins had taken the other side of Brennan on the couch and was holding her hand tightly.
"I know sweetie, but don't you think that he talks about you because you mean so much to him? I get where you're coming from Bren I do, but don't you think he talks about you because you are still the most important woman in his life; the woman he's in love with deeply. He may say he's in love with Hannah but Brennan I can tell you he's not as in love with her as he says he is. I see the way he looks at you, he is still madly and deeply in love with you sweetie." Brennan was shaking her head and tears were rolling down her cheeks.
"No; if he loves me so much than he knows how much this hurts..."
"But sweetie, don't you think you hurt him too by saying no to him that night?"
"I didn't say no because I didn't want to Ange. I said no because he asked me to change my beliefs, he asked me to belief in what he beliefs and you know me Ange I can't change who I am. He said he wanted to give us a shot but that isn't saying that he loved me. He didn't say it Ange, and that is the reason why I said no to him, because he's expecting the whole package, the white picket fence, the marriage the two and a half kids, a dog; but I can't give him that Ange, I don't belief in marriage. Yes I do want to have children but that's all I want, I can't change who I am and who I've been my whole life."
"I know sweetie, and I think he didn't do it the right way either but he does love you sweetie, even though you can't see it he loves you deeply." Hodgins stood up and disappeared into the bedroom to appear minutes later with the pint of ice-cream, he settled it between the two ladies who laughed and dug in.
Two hours later at twelve thirty the three had relocated to the bedroom and were watching a movie when Brennan curled into Angela once more crying. They were watching 'The time traveller's wife' and it was at the point where the male lead had been shot. It reminded Brennan of when Booth was shot even though it wasn't the same but still. Angela was rubbing circles on her back and soothing her when she found minutes later a sleeping Brennan. Angela looked at Hodgins who just smiled and moved of the bed. He disappeared from the room so Angela could change Brennan into something more comfortable. When Angela opened the door Hodgins came back into the room and lifted Brennan in his arms so Angela could pull down the blankets; Hodgins placed her gently back on the bed and pulled the blankets up to Brennan's chin. Ange smiled and kissed her friend on the forehead and lay down next to her; Hodgins walking around the bed and laying next to his wife.
"Who ever knew I would share a bed with two beautiful women?" Hodgins joked; receiving a punch to the chest from his wife.

"Agent Booth?" A woman asked. Booth looked up from his work with a smile on his face and looked at the woman, what confused him was the jacket she was wearing; it was a jacket from the Jeffersonian.
"Yes." The woman walked into his office and handed him an envelope. "What's this?" he asked opening the envelope. He pulled out a stack of papers and began reading. The letter stated:
FBI special agent Seeley Booth,
I hereby terminate our partnership, affected immediately. Please find enclosed the papers you need to sign and please give it back to the person delivering this to you. I do not wish to speak to you and would appreciate it if you could sign the papers and not call me anymore. If you have a case this will go through Dr. Clark Edison or Mister Bray.
Sincerely,
Doctor Temperance Brennan
"What the hell is this?" he asked angered and the woman cringed back.
"I don't know Agent Booth; Doctor Brennan asked me to give this to you and for you to sign it." He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and dialled Bones' number.
"Hello."
"Parker? What are you doing with Bones' phone?"
"Oh- hi dad. Bones asked me to answer her phone; I'm here for science club and mum dropped me off so Bones could help to with my homework. She says that she doesn't want to talk to you and frankly dad I don't think you should. You hurt her dad and me by coming back with Hannah." With that he heard the line go dead and the colour drained from his face. Booth grabbed the papers and addressed the woman.
"Thank you but I'll be bringing this by to Dr. Brennan." he stormed out of his office and made his was over to the Jeffersonian.
When he got there the sight before him took his breath away. His son was seated in his partners lap writing in his book while she was typing away at her computer. When he stepped into the office he found more and more things of Parker laying around. In the corner was a small desk with chair with his school things on it; his toys was littered over the floor and paper and pens of Parker were on Brennan's desk.
"What is this?" he slammed the papers on the desk causing both Brennan and Parker to jump up. Both Brennan and Parker stood up and looked at Booth with sad eyes. Parker stood in front of Bones; his head leaning on her chest. Parker had gotten so much taller since she came back from Maluku and was so proud of him.
"Those are papers to terminate our partnership." Brennan stated coldly, her grip tightening on Parker.
"Yes I know that. Why?"
"Because I do not wish to further our partnership." Brennan was breaking on the inside; she had talked to Hodgins and Angela about this allot for the last week and this was the only solution.
"Why, Bones?"
"It's Doctor Brennan." Parker said looking really mad at his father.
"That is something I do not wish to tell you Agent Booth, now if you can please leave I'm going to take Parker to his class and when I come back in don't want you here." She stated coldly and took Parker hand and walked out of the office.
"How long has this been going on, Bones?"
"How long had what been going on, Agent Booth?"
"Parker staying here with you."
"Since I came back from Maluku, Rebecca asked me to help with his school work and he's been coming here every Friday before his science class. Than afterwards we go out for dinner and he stays at mine for the night till Rebecca can pick him up."
"So you've been having my son on the weekends I'm suppose to have him?" He asked angrily.
"No dad, you lost that right when you came back with Hannah. I don't know how many times I have to tell you but I don't like her. I love Bones and I want to stay with her. I asked mum to organize it because Hannah takes away my time I have with you. She gets all the attention when I was there and Bones spends all day with me, she doesn't let someone else ruin the time we have together." Parker was getting angry and Brennan pulled him back to her.
"Parker..."
"No mom, he doesn't have the right anymore to speak to you." Booth stood there dumbfounded; but when he looked at Brennan he saw that she wasn't.
"What did you just call her?" He asked in a whisper.
"I called her mom, because that's what she is. She helps me with my homework, she is there when I need someone to hold me, and she listens to me when I need someone to listen to me. You don't; all you do is give your attention to Hannah." Brennan walked towards Parker and pulled him against her; the bent down and kissed his hair.
"Booth, this is for the best. When you said to me that what happens between us is ours. You broke that Booth, you told Hannah everything about me and you don't have the right to do that. You broke me and your son, this is for the best. Please just sign the papers and we don't have to be in each other's way to be happy anymore."
"NO!" he merely yelled that Angela, Hodgins, Cam and Clark came running down the steps and to Brennan's side. They all stood there looking at Booth with mixed expressions. Cam was looking sad; Angela and Hodgins were at Brennan's side holding onto her and Parker. Clark was looking at them like a tennis match but if he could choose he'd choose Brennan. "So this is it? You all gaining against me because I came back happy and in love?" He shook his head and hung his head.
"Seeley, you hurt us all. You told Hannah things about us that we didn't want her to know. You brought someone into our family that we didn't want in here. I know it feels like we are gaining up on you but what you did to us; it's unforgivable. Do you know what you felt like when Brennan said things about you to Hacker?" Booth nodded his head sadly. "That is how we feel. You betrayed our trust. I know Brennan did the same but you were alone. You betrayed all of us, every single person that you claim to be 'family'."
"You are family, but I understand how I made you all feel and I'm sorry. But I love Hannah, maybe not as much as I love you." He said directing his attention to Brennan; looking her in the eye. "But you hurt me too by saying no that night." Brennan had tears in her eyes and she didn't trust her voice.
"Booth, you have no idea what you asked of her; do you?" Angela said seeing her friend in tears. Booth looked at her with questioning eyes. "You asked her to change Booth. You asked her to go into what she's believed in all her life and you know as well as me that she can't change who she is even for you."
"I never asked her to change for me Ange."
"Yes you did Booth." She said in the calmest way. "You asked her to change, to love you for twenty, thirty, forty or fifty years, while you didn't say that you loved her. You asked that of her and she's always believed that love didn't exist." Booth stepped forward to Brennan but Parker stood in his way; defending his mom.
"Bones, I never wanted you to change, I love you for who you are and not for what you can be. I love you just who you are; nothing else." Brennan had tears in her eyes and they rolled down her cheeks.
"I love you too, but this is for the best Booth. You have Hannah now, I've got my family here; it's for the best if we don't work together anymore." Brennan whipped away the tears and turned around; Parker was standing in front of her and she dropped to her knees, hugging the boy tightly.
"Actually I don't think I have him." The voice of Hannah made them all look at the entrance of the lab. Booth turned around with tears in his eyes and looked at her. "It's okay Seeley, I always knew from the way you talked about Temperance it was hard to compete against her." She walked towards Booth and hugged him whispering in his ear. "Don't lose her Seeley, don't mess it up again." She pulled back and walked out of the lab. Booth turned around and searched for Bones who was nowhere to be seen.
"Where's Bones?" he asked looking around anxiously.
"She's taking Parker to his class. Listen Booth, you broke her promise not to leave and her trust. Don't think it will be easy to get that back; from neither of us." With that the rest of the group walked away and Booth made his way towards Bones' office, he sat down and thought of all the things he did wrong over the past 2 months he had been back.
Okay so this one was not what I originally write but I had to. I just saw the second episode of season 6 and it broke my heart the sad look on Brennan's face. I hate Booth and I hate Hart Hanson even more... But not as much as I hate Hannah!... Booth said everything that happens is between them, but when they were at the Founding Fathers both times in last episode Hannah was with them... isn't that was is suppose to be between THEM? Ugh I'm just mad... well if anyone agrees please let me know so I'm not the only one who feels that way =P.
