Angela looked over to Tempe curiously and watched as she starred at her wedding ring. She had never seen her act like this before and the way she questioned her marriage one could tell she was very shocked.

"Tempie, are you ok?" David asked rushing to her side to make sure everything was fine.

Tempe lifted her head from her hand and looked David in the eyes; she jumped back at the close proximity between them, and then sat in the bed, a look of pure wonder rested on her face. David looked back at Tempe and began to wonder what was wrong with her.

The doctor walked in the room, causing Tempe and David to avert their gaze towards her.

"Hello, Dr. Brennan, I'm Dr. Shaw, how are you?" the woman asked.

"I'm not sure." Tempe answered truthfully looking from David to Booth and noticed sadness in his eyes.

"Well what seems to be the problem?" she asked kindly checking her blood pressure and heart rate.

"I don't seem to remember much, they say David and I are married, but I don't remember."

"Ok, well you tell me what day and year you think it is and I'll tell you if what they say is true."

"Ok, well last I checked it was March 19, 2006."

Dr. Shaw listened as Tempe spoke then started to check on the bruises on her face and began to examine the cuts and scraps on her arms and legs.

"Well, it appears you have amnesia. The date is July 27, 2009. Do you remember anything else?"

"no." Tempe said frustrated and confused that three years of her life had just disappeared.

"Well amnesia is not uncommon in a case like yours, you suffered sever damage to your head and it's a miracle your even awake right now, most people stay in a coma."

"Will her memory ever come back?" Booth asked from Tempe's left side where Angela stood with him.

"It depends, it's up to her. If they do come back they could come back at once or piece by piece, of course in some cases they never remember." Dr. Shaw explained, and then looked to her clipboard. "Other than her memory loss she seems fine and can go home today, I'll be back with the papers in a few minutes."

"How do we help her remember?" Booth asked before the doctor left.

"Take her places she's been, it could bring back memories."

Tempe sat in the bed and looked around her, on her left side was Booth and Angela and on her right David stood looking at her with concern and a hint of something else, something she couldn't put her finger on, it felt like anger.

Tempe watched as Angela and David left the room in search of a nurse to unhook her from the IV and the monitors. She then looked over to Booth and noticed how he looked at her; an odd feeling in her stomach became noticeable as his eyes bore hers down.

"What?" she asked as he starred.

"You don't remember anything?" he asked hoping she could come up with something, anything.

"No, nothing at all. Last thing I remember was working on the Jillian case with you."

"That was three years ago."

"I know."

"I'm sorry Bones I never meant for this to happen."

"What do you mean?"

"Never mind, you wouldn't understand." He whispered then walked over to her, placed a gentle kiss on her cheek and walked out of the room.

Tempe sat there paralyzed, why did Booth kiss her again, her hand covered her cheek and quickly she pulled it away as she touched a bruise that rested there. Soon Angela walked back in with some clothes and she helped her change.

An hour and a half later Tempe found herself in a car with David driving to what would be their home together. They hadn't said much to each other after Tempe learned they were married, it was too odd for her to comprehend, how could she marry David?

"So how you feeling Tempie?" David broke the silence while making a right hand turn.

"I'm fine." She mumbled unable to look him in the eyes, so many questions filled her mind, the biggest, how could she do this and why?

"I'm sorry this happened to you, but I'll be here to help you and I know Angela will be there for you too."

"How long have we been married?" Tempe asked out of nowhere, trying to change the topic of her condition.

"A year and a half." He answered proudly.

"And how long have we been dating?"

"We started the first week of April in 2006." He answered pulling into a driveway to a rather large apartment complex.

David got out of the car and grabbed Tempe's things, slowly leading her up the stairs to an apartment door on the fourth floor.

"We bought this six months after we started dating and you just loved it." He said as he opened the door and she walked in.

As Tempe entered the room she found things that represented her and a little bit of what she assumed was David, though it was a little like her old place it screamed 'Foreign' to her. Sitting in the middle of the room was a large couch across from it sat a large TV and book cases.

Behind the couch a table stood with pictures of things and places she remembered and didn't. The one that was most awkward was her and David's wedding photo. Him in a tux and her in a white dress smiling happily at the photographer, but as she starred she could tell she had faked the smile.

In another one Booth, Angela, Hodgins, Zack and her sat at a table all smiling happily and enjoying their time together. As she looked closer she could tell an engagement ring rested on her left finger, but upon a closer look she could be seen holding Booth's right hand, almost as if they shared a secret nobody else knew.

One by one she looked at photos and other personal belongings and one by one she noticed a pattern, with her friends she seemed really happy, but with the pictures of David her smiles were all faked. Finally, at the end of the table, sat one single picture of Tempe and Booth, they sat at a table smiling brightly to the camera and holding hands again.

As Tempe looked at it closely she noticed something she hadn't seen in the other pictures, on her right ring finger sat a gold band with a small diamond in the middle. She pulled the picture away and looked down to the hand and saw that the same ring, it was a beautiful sight and as she starred at it she noticed David watching her.

"you were so happy in those pictures." He stated looking to her. "you'll be that way again, Tempie, I promise." Tempe didn't know what to do so she nodded her head and looked to him.

David just starred at her, transfixed by her appearance, her arms scraped and dry blood covered them, her face had at least three bruises, not including her black eye, yet he still never saw her more beautiful.

"right, so you;ll be sleeping in out room, and seeing as how you can't remember much I'll respect your privacy and take the room down the hall." He said leading her to a hallway and to the room he spoke of.

as she walked in and looked around she noticed a difference in the room and saw how the pictures there were of just the two of them, nobody else. She carefully walked over to the bed and sat on the edge, allowing the foreign object to become more familiar with her.

"right, so you must be tired, I'll just let you sleep and relax. If you need anything I'll be in the kitchen." He said and walked out of the room.

Tempe leaned back on the bed and closed her eyes, desperately seeking sleep and a way out to her nightmare. She silently began to wish everything was a nightmare and that she'd wake up in her office hunched over her desk working on a few files and cases while juggling her book, but Temperance Brennan knew reality and she knew that when she woke up everything would be the same.

Slowly her body relaxed and she drifted to sleep, the days events running through her mind as she analyzed everything that was happening to her.
