A few days had passed and Brennan was still in hosptital, Booth hardly ever left her side and bought her fresh flowers every day; even thought she wasnt really a flower person. There had been a few scares after Brennan had been admitted, she almost died God knows how many times but she always pulled through it and came out triumphant.
It was still early morning and Brennan was asleep, she usually didnt wake until almost noon. This morning though felt a little different, she could feel a familiar presence in the room and a smile came to her lips. She opened her eyes and looked at her partner, Seeley Booth. Today he wasnt bearing flowers and he wasnt smiling, he was saying something but she couldnt hear him.
"What?" she said, frowning deelpy and sitting up.
She couldnt understand what was happening, she threw the covers off her body and slowly climbed out of bed. It still hurt when she moved but she needed to know what Booth was saying.
"I cant hear you." she said as she walked closer, she watched his mouth move but couldnt hear the words being formed. She watched in slow motion as he reached for his gun, aimed it at her and fire. She reached out to him but he didnt help her, she couldnt understand. She felt a pain in her in the same spot where she had been shot last time, her face was contorted with pain and of heartache; how could Booth do that? She asked herself and then everything went black.

Brennan gasped and opened her eyes, she froze when she saw Booth looking down at her. She couldnt stop herself from screaming and trying to get away from him, she was terrified.
"No! Please, Booth dont." she cried, she clawed at him and tried to push him away.
"Temperance its ok, im not going to hurt you." he kept saying but she couldnt hear him.
"Help! Somebody help me please." she sobbed and yelled.
Hodgins and Angela rushed into the room and pulled Booth away, they could see that she was frightened of him.
"Sshh sweetie its ok, you're safe now. No one wants to hurt you." Angela whispered softly as she cradled her friends shaking body.
"Booth, he shot me." she told Angela, who frowned and galnced over at Booth.
"Sweetie, i think you had nightmare. How did you land up on the floor anyway?"
Brennan opened her eyes and looked around, she had no idea. She remembered getting out of bed and talking to Booth, well trying to anyway.
"He was here."
"Who was here?" Hodgins asked.
"Booth, this morning. He was saying something but i couldnt hear him. I went over to him and he...shot me."
She looked down at her old wound and saw nothing there except the stitches that had closed the hole over a week ago. She frowned and shook her head slowly.
"It was so real." she told them. "I felt it."
Booth went over to her and helped her off the floor and back into bed, she still wasnt allowed to leave the hospital for a few more days.
"Tempe, i wouldnt dream of hurting you. You'd probably kick my ass anyway." He said with a little smile.
"Im sorry." she whispered.
"Its understandable, your still a little traumatised. Just get some rest."
"Im tired of resting...its all i do." she told them. "I want to go home and then get back to work. This place is making me crazy."
Booth glanced at Angela and Jack, they just looked back at him and shrugged.
"Stay here." he said to them all.
He left the room and Angela and Jack went and talked to Brennan.
"Where's Zack?" she asked.
"Back at the lab, he basically thinks because you're not there he is you." Jack said to her.
Brennan smiled, she had a lot of respect for Zack.
Booth came back into the room ten minutes smiling and looking rather pleased with himself.
"Okay, listen up and listen good." he told her. "They said you can go home on one condition...that being that i dont leave your side and take care of you 24/7."
Brennan looked at him and then at Angela and Jack and then back at Booth, he smiled.
"You have to stay with me...all day everyday?"
Booth nodded.
"Isnt exactly my idea of fun either." he replied sarcastically.
Brennan smiled, she didnt know if they were together all day it could lead to some fun.
"Thats cool with me." she replied with a little smirk.
Angela smiled. she had an idea why it sounded it cool but she decided not to say anything.
