A/N: Going to change the name. I'm going to start calling Temperance .. 'Brennan' from now on. I don't know but I feel it is like a personal connection using her first name, like it should only be used for when people are trying to help her. Weird, huh ? But here is more for you! ;)

Brennan was greeted by silence the next morning. At first, when her alarm clock began to ring, she was torn between worry and relief. She had not been woken up, like many other nights, by her distaught daughter who was suffering from teething pains. However, when she looked besides her, she realised Booth wasn't lay next to her which caused her to worry.

Brennan threw back the covers and jumped up. She grabbed her dressing gown, tightening it securely around her frame, and rushed out of her bedroom. Her first destination was to Summer's room, where she hoped to see her daughter sleeping. Although, when she arrived at her door, the cot was empty and Summer was nowhere to be seen. Brennan groaned. Had Booth took her again ? Brennan made her way into the kitchen area, choosing some approriate swear words to call Booth, when she suddenly noticed a piece of paper stuck to the fridge. Brennan snatched the note off the fridge and read it, cursing Booth oncemore.

'Summer seemed fussy. Took her for some air.

I will be home intime to take you to work.

I love you,

Booth.'

Brennan shoved the note in her pocket and walked back to her bedroom. She stripped from her night clothes, depositing them in the laundry basket, and got dressed. She pulled on a white, long sleeved top over head and straightened it down. Next she pulled on a long, black skirt which ended above her knee, the bottom was decorated in sequins. Brennan sat down on her bed and pulled on some knee-high black boots, zipping them up at the side. Brennan stood up and walked out of the room, returning to the kitchen.

Brennan sat in the front of the SUV, although kept spinning around in her seat to check on Summer. Summer sat, in her car seat, in the back of the SUV with her teddy clutched in her hand. Unfortunately, Miss Hopkirk was unavailable once again and her Father had gone visiting Russ, which had gave Brennan no other choice than to take Summer to work. Booth had offered to take care of her, but Brennan promised that Angela had nothing to do at the moment and enjoyed looking after their daughter. Booth had no other option but to give up.

Brennan had been sat in her seat, twiddling her thumbs, and constantly gazing out of the window. She had not told Booth about Harry yet, unsure of how he would react. Brennan had decided, after a long hard thinking session and piling up the pro's and con's, that she was going to continue to be Harry's partner. Even though it seemed unfair on Booth, it seemed safer for their daughter.

"So, Bones, I'll talk to Cullen and -"

"I already have a partner," interrupted Brennan.

"What ?" questioned Booth, his eyes widening.

Booth turned to look at her, his eyes studied hers as he wondered if she was being serious. Brennan felt his eyes upon her and turned to face him.

"Booth! Keep your eyes on the road, we have a child in the back," she scolded.

Booth turned his attention back on the road, mumbling an apology to Summer, and sighed. He had feared this; Brennan getting a new partner. He hated knowing that some other agent was working with her, spending most of the day with her, and he couldn't do anything about it.

"Since when ?" Booth asked.

"After you left, the first week since you had been gone," replied Brennan, focusing her attention upon the road.

"What's his name ?" asked Booth, tightening his grip upon the steering wheel.

Booth tried to stay calm, he knew it wasn't Brennan's fault and he had no right to be angry with her. He also remembered about his daughter in the back, he never wanted to argue with Brennan infront of Summer.

"Harry. Listen, Booth, I know your alpha male tendencies are causing you to be jelous, but Harry is a good guy -"

"Do I get to meet him ?" said Booth, rather stiffly.

"If that is what you want," answered Brennan.

"It is," said Booth.

"Fine," shrugged Brennan, turning her gaze back to the window.

"Fine," muttered Booth.

An awkward silence fell upon them, only the sounds of Summers gurgles and laughs could be heard in the back as they pulled into the Jefforsonian car park. Brennan was the first to get out of the car, slamming the door shut behind her, and turning to the back passenger door. Brennan opened the door and unbuckled the car seat, pulling it out of the car. Booth joined her and offered to carry Summer in the car seat, but Brennan refused. The awkward silence fell upon them again ...

Angela shrieked as the family walked inside. She was stood up on the platform where she had a great view of everyone who came into the lab. Brennan was slightly infront of Booth, carrying Summer in her car seat, with a cold look on her face. Whilst Booth walked behind, his hands shoved into his pockets, looking around the lab. Angela ignored the emotions the two were dealing with, which she could sense from their entrance, and rushed down towards them.

"BOOTH!" she squeeled.

"Hey Ange -"

Booth was cut off as Angela flung herself upon him, trapping him in a tight hug. Booth chuckled and lightly patted her on the back. Angela pulled away and smiled at him, giving him a wink. She then turned her attention upon Brennan, who she hugged, and then pinched Summer's cheeks. Brennan walked away, not even notifying the other two, and locked herself in her office.

"Did you know she had a new partner ?" asked Booth.

"Yeah, sweetie, I did. Harry is alright, but no one could replace you, Booth!" Angela smiled, patting him reassuringly on the arm. "Anyway, how was your mission ?"

Booth noticed a flash of danger strike in Angela's eyes as she smirked.

"Awful. We had to come back after the guy I was paired up with blew our cover," groaned Booth, shaking his head.

"Unlucky," sighed Angela. "So, did you get me a souvenir ?"
