Chapter twenty: Welcome Back

Jared sat in the waiting room. It had been seven hours and he still hadn't heard anything on the condition of his brother and Brennan.

"What could be taking them so long?" mumbled Jared putting his face in his hands.

"Jared?" a voice said beside him.

Jared felt a hand on his shoulder. He lifted his head up, Cam was staring at him worriedly.

"Oh, hey Camille. I was just resting my eyes." Jared yawned.

"Any news yet?" Angela asked walking into the room. She was followed by Hodgins, Zach, Sweets, Russ, and Max.

Jared shook his head, "No, nothing…you guys didn't bring Parker?"

Cam sighed, "Rebecca wouldn't let us…she said the drive was too long for Parker."

Jared nodded, "She just doesn't want Parker here in case Seeley doesn't make it."

"So my daughter's pregnant with twins?" Max asked eyebrows raised.

Jared nodded, "Six or seven months now. It's a boy and a girl."

Angela turned to Hodgins, Sweets, and Zach, "You guess owe Cam and me twenty bucks each."

"Why?!" Sweets gasped.

"We won the baby bet." Angela said simply.

"That's not fair! Technically, we all one the bet." Zach and Hodgins said in defense.

Jared threw his hands up in the air, "Can you guys just shut up?! There might not be any babies, or Tempe or Seeley for that matter!"

Everyone was quiet as a nurse walked in, "Are you all here for Mr. Booth and Dr. Brennan?" she asked.

Jared stood up, "Yes! Are they going to be okay?"

The nurse smiled, "Mr. Booth is going to be fine, and we think Dr. Brennan is going to be okay also, she's out right now but Mr. Booth's okay."

"And the babies?" Russ questioned.

"Everything seems to be okay, no detached placentas or hemorrhaging, we just want to see her every few weeks just to make sure everything is going as planned."

"Can we see them now?" Angela asked.

"Sure." The nurse replied. She led the group back into a hallway. They walked until they got to the end of the hallway.

"They're in here." She said opening a door.

The group walked in, Booth was sitting up in a hospital bed, his eyes were glued to the bed beside him. He had the same solemn expression on his face that he had had on the car ride there. Brennan was laying there motionless.

"I'll leave you guys alone." The nurse whispered exiting the room.

"Booth?" Angela whispered.

"They're dead aren't they?" Booth whispered not moving.

"The babies? No, they're fine Booth, Brennan's fine, you're all fine." Angela soothed.

Booth turned to them, "She's fine? They're fine? Look at her! You call THAT fine, she has a broken ankle, a broken wrist, and a concussion!"

"Booth, the doctors said she and the babies are going to be fine. You are going to be fine." Sweets said.

"It's my fault." Booth's voice broke.

"How is it your fault Booth? You didn't have any say in Brennan's decision to go save Ange." Hodgins replied.

"I made her go, I told her she was to weak, she wanted to prove me wrong." Booth said shaking his head side to side.

"Stop beating yourself up Booth." Cam said sternly, "Everything is going to be okay. We can all pitch in to protect Brennan and your unborn twins."

Booth nodded, "Thanks."

"Hey, guys," Angela whispered pointing at Brennan's bed, "She's coming to."

Brennan started to stir, "Mm…Booth…" she whispered, her eyes fluttered open.

"Hey Bones, welcome back." Booth said smiling at her.

Brennan toke one look at Booth and her surrounding environment. Suddenly she bust out sobbing.

"I'm…so…sorry..." she said between broken sobs, "I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I didn't want anyone to get hurt, especially you Booth. They tricked me! It was all a big trick! And now my babies are dead and…"

"Sh…Sh…hey, everything is okay. The babies are fine. What happened wasn't your fault!" Booth soothed.

Brennan looked up; her eyes were red, "They're…okay?" she sniffed.

Booth nodded smiling, "Yeah, they're okay."

Brennan moaned.

"What's wrong?!" Booth asked worriedly.

"Nothing, I have a bad head ache, that's all."

"You have a broken wrist and ankle and a concussion. So, you're not going to be doing anything for awhile." Booth said.

Brennan sighed, "What happen to Brooks?"

"He's dead, I don't know about his trio though…" Booth said. "He shot me."

Brennan's eyes rose in shock. Booth quickly changed the subject,

"So, we can stay in D.C now." Booth said.

"Who's apartment, mine or yours?" Brennan asked.

"Ah…" Booth pondered the question.

"You can stay with Amy and me Tempe. I'm sure Amy wouldn't mind and the girls would love it" Russ offered.

"Thanks Russ, there's only one problem; Jared is going to have to stay with us to protect Brennan." Booth said.

"What?! Jared doesn't need to stay. I don't need protecting!" Brennan hissed.

"Seeley, its fine. Tempe obviously doesn't want me here. I'll go." Jared said getting up.

"No Jared, you stay. What do you say Russ, do you have enough room?" Booth asked ignoring Brennan's angry glares.

Russ shrugged, "Yeah sure, I'll call Amy now so she can get the spare bedrooms ready."

"It can wait Russ; we're going to be in the hospital recovering for a few days." Booth said looking at a very furious Brennan.

"Why do people think I need protecting?!" Brennan questioned herself.

"So, on a different subject…congrats on the twin news!" Angela said smiling.

"Yeah, I'm so happy for you two baby." Max said putting his hand on his daughter's shoulder.

"Hey, for the how ever many months you were gone for, what happened?" Hodgins asked pulling up a chair.

Brennan looked at Booth who nodded, "Well…" she began.

The three men are still alive. They'll come back in the story later though. Please review and be kind when you do. Thanks!
