Thank you for your kind reviews. I really appreciate them all.
Day 37: Sickness
I don't own Bones.
Ooooooooooooooo
Checking the thermometer, Booth tsked, "102 degrees, Bones. You're definitely sick and you sure as hell need to stay in bed."
Her tissue poised under her nose, Brennan complained, "I have work to do and I can't do it in bed. I have a class to teach this morning and I'm working on . . ."
His hand resting on the bed beside her waist, Booth interrupted her, "No, Bones. You're not a machine. When you're this sick you have to stay home. You've got a fever, you're congested and you're wheezing when you cough. If you go in you might give this crap to everyone in the Lab and then what? You don't want the whole Lab shut down do you?"
Reluctantly, Brennan blew her nose and gently wiped the end of her nose and responded, "No, I suppose not."
Kissing his index finger he pressed it against her cheek, "Thank you. Now, I'm taking the day off to help out. Christine has already eaten breakfast and she's in her room playing, so that means I'm going to do the laundry. You need anything you call me and I'll get it for you."
"I'm not helpless," the protest barely from her lips, Booth stood up and spoke firmly, "You're sick, let me take care of things. When we got married we didn't do the traditional in sickness or health thing but it was implied. I'm here for you so you can get better faster, besides who took care of me last month when I threw my back out when that bastard tackled me at the crime scene? What an asshole, why do they have to put up a fight like that? It's not like they're going to get away . . . Well never mind, I got a little side tracked there. Anyway, you took care of me and now it's my turn. Just let me take care of you."
Pulling the covers up to her chin, Brennan commented, "I'm rarely sick."
Nodding his head, Booth smiled, "I know. That's a good thing. Now, I'll bring you some hot tea in a little while and I'm going to do the laundry."
Her tissue wadded up in her hand, Brennan watched her husband leave the room.
Calling out to him, Brennan waited for him to come back into the room.
Leaning into the doorway, Booth smiled, "Yeah, Bones?"
A soft smile touching her lips, Brennan replied, "Thank you."
Nodding his head, Booth responded, "You're welcome. I love you now close your eyes and go to sleep."
Closing her eyes, Brennan assured him, "I love you too, Booth, even when you're bossy."
ooooooooooooooooo
I've been sick for a few days and that's all I have in me today, Sorry.
