So I hadn't planned on updating this quick but your reviews kept coming and I loved them and I was so motivated to continue right away. Tell me what you think of this second chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Bones however I do own Callie and Sandra and Chris and Mark.
"Bones?" Booth questioned as he stared at the woman who was clearly his Bones only with a bruise or two across her face and affectionately holding a little girl who slightly resembled Bones in her arms.
Tempe forgot all about taking to Callie to the daycare and pinched herself just to make sure Booth was really there and it wasn't one of the many dreams she had had that went a lot like that. Tempe felt something bubbling up in her stomach but it wasn't the anger she normally got while thinking about Booth but instead it was the flip-flop butterflies she used to get in her stomach when they talked before he left.
"Momma, pu'me down I wanna go see Zach" Callie complained and answering Booth's questions about whom exactly that little girl was.
Tempe was stunned and had no idea what do to luckily (as usual) Angela came through for her.
"Um come on Sandra we have a sketch to finish. Zach don't you and Hodgins still have some bones to clean?" Angela suggested as she herded the group towards there respective rooms to leave Booth and Tempe alone.
As they walked off she heard Sandra questioning Angela about who he was.
"So um long time no see hunh?" Tempe tried weakly to start a conversation.
"Ohh Bones I missed you. Every time between assignments I would call you but then hang up I was so nervous, and oh Bones what are those bruises on your face? And who is she? (As he gestured to Callie)And who replaced me as the FBI link? And and and O I am babbling. Forget all of that Bones. How are you what has been going on in your life?" Booth finished giving her one of his best smiles and trying to cover up his bright red embarrassed face.
Tempe chuckled before responding "I have been great. I've had two failed relationships. The first guy Mark left me when I told him I was having his kid and I kicked Chris out last night. He crossed the line when he threatened to hit Callie also. This is Callie she turned three yesterday and should have been at the daycare down the hall 15 minutes ago…… O shit she's late! Will you walk her down there with me?" She summed up her past four Booth-less years in one quick paragraph. Booth was infuriated he loved Bones' daughter even though he only knew her name and age, but loved her because she was Bones'.
They started walking down the hall towards what Booth recognized wasn't there before he had left and must be the Daycare center. "That bastard hit you? He threatened to hit your daughter? I hope you Kicked his ass Bones'."
"I did right before I kicked him out. What's up with you? Why are you back home?" Tempe inquired of Booth as she signed Callie into the center. After speaking with the facilitator at the center about Callie and why she was late Booth and Tempe walked back toward Tempe's office as booth explained his situation.
"Rebecca…. She uh..." Booths eyes seemed to be tearing up. "Rebecca she passed away." Booth said in an almost whisper and looked at the ground.
"O MY GOD Booth I am
sooooooo sorry how when how is Parker I wish I would have known she
was sick I would have helped with Parker!" Tempe practically
shouted in awe. As they entered Tempe's office Booth finally spoke
again.
"Its okay Bones you couldn't have known I hardly spoke
to her she had moved to New Jersey to be closer to her mom. I came
out of undercover about a month ago and went and got there about a
week before she died. I was so glad I got there before she died I
can't imagine what would have happened to Parker or how he would
have dealt with it."
"O Booth I am so sorry. I really am I just wished we could have talked before now. How did parker take it?" Tempe said.
"Parker he is not sure he is so sad he just lost his mommy you know he is seven I don't think he fully grasps everything right now. He is so confused he doesn't know what to do He just got his daddy back so he is ecstatic about that but he lost hi Mommy so he's depressed. I just feel so bad for him." Booth said exasperatedly.
"O I can imagine what he's going through I went through almost the same situation when we found my mom's body I got my brother back but I realized my mom was never coming back." Tempe recalled.
There was kind of a long silence while both of them thought but then Booth spoke.
"I thought about coming over here so much Bones but I couldn't. I talked to Cullen and he is gonna let me work out here in D.C. again as a Supervising Field Agent but not as the direct connection between the Jeffersonian and FBI he was afraid about you know…. You and I." Booth stated kind of cheekily.
"Where is Parker now?" Tempe asked kind of trying to ignore the last part of Booth's statement. He really wants there to still be an us?
"Parker is staying with Sid for about another half hour. Look Bones we need to talk about us"
There he goes with that us thing again. I still want there to be an us but I don't know does booth still want there to be an us.
"Bones you there?" Booth asked.
"Ya I'm right here. So this us thing…. How do you feel about it?" Tempe stated.
"Tempe I don't know about you but us was the best thing that ever happened to me... I t was the only good relationship I ever had I missed it so much and I don't care that you have a daughter. I don't care that we won't work together. I don't care that I haven't had any contact with you in four years I still want you Temperance Brennan." Booth silently prayed that he hadn't just poured his heart out to his bones and she wouldn't want to take him back.
"O god! Booth I was so scared you wouldn't want me back I have never gotten over you." Tempe silently cheered inside Booth still wanted her maybe things would go back, back to how they were.
"Hey bones I really
should get back to get Parker from Sid. I also have some other people
to visit now that I am back in D.C. I have to try and find and
apartment and everything but would you and... Callie? Join Parker and
I for dinner tonight at the olive Garden on 72nd street
tonight around say six thirty." Booth inquired.
"Of course
Booth we would live to join you. I think it would be fun and I
haven't had genuine fun in a long time." Tempe answered not
knowing that Angela was standing outside of the office using all of
her might to contain a squeal. Her favorite couple was going out to
dinner together tonight.
So what do you guys think? Sorry to anybody who lives in D.C. if there isn't 72nd street I didn't know a lot of D.C. streets so I made one up. Thanks for all of your reviews please keep them coming and any editing suggestions also accepted with open arms. If you have any suggestions where the plot should go let me know because I honestly have no idea at this point. Hopefully something else would come to me as I go to be tonight
