Thank you for the reviews!!
Chapter twenty one: Nightmare
It had been three days since Booth and Brennan had come to the hospital. Today, they hoped, would be the day that they would be discharged.
"You ready?" asked Booth as he and Jared helped Brennan into a wheelchair.
"Yeah…I can do it." She said shooing Booth and Jared back as she lowered herself into the chair.
"How's your side?" Brennan asked eyeing Booth's side.
"Fine, and you? Do feel okay" Booth asked.
"Yeah. A little tired and somebody's been kicking me in the kidney for the past half hour." Brennan said pressing the palm of her good hand to her enormous bulge.
Russ entered the room followed by Max, "You guys ready?"
Booth nodded. He pushed Brennan's wheelchair out of the room.
"The girls or really excited about you, Booth, and Jared staying with us Tempe." Russ said. "They decorated your room with get well cards and pictures of what they think the twins are going to look like."
"Thank you Russ, we really appreciate what you and Amy are doing for us." Brennan said smiling.
Russ nodded smiling, "No problem."
He walked to a navy blue Ford Explorer. "Well, this is my car Amy got me for Christmas." Russ said unlocking the car.
Booth helped Brennan into the car before he and Jared got in themselves.
"Well be in D.C. in four hours or so." Russ said turning on the radio.
Brennan yawned. She snuggled up against Booth.
"If you're tired you're welcome to take a nap." Booth whispered into Brennan's ear.
"No…I'm fine…" Brennan mumbled sleepily.
"Take a nap." Booth coaxed, "You'll feel better when you wake up and, who knows, we might be at Russ's by then."
"I'm…not…tired…" Brennan mumbled before becoming completely over thrown by the power of sleep.
Brennan's Dream
"Temperance…Temperance…"
Brennan's eyes opened. She recognized that methodical voice.
"Mom?" Brennan called looking around.
"Right here love." A slender woman floated towards Brennan without stretched arms. She had black hair and piercing blue eyes, Brennan's eyes.
"M…mom?" Brennan whispered walking towards the figure. "What are you doing here?"
"I should say the same to you." Christina said.
"I…I…I don't understand. What's going on?" Brennan stuttered.
"Why isn't it clear? You're dead?" Christina laughed.
"No…no...I'm not…this is just a dream…you're not real…none of this is…" Brennan said taking a step back.
"Why of course it is love." Christina said taking a step closer to Brennan.
"No! Stay back! You're not my mother!" Brennan yelled.
"Of course I am dear. Come give me a hug."
"N…no!" Brennan yelled.
"Don't disobey your mother, come give me a hug!" Christina said a little aggravated.
Brennan shook her head, "Leave me and Cathy alone!" she squealed. Brennan gasped at the sound of her voice, her size, and at the presences of the doll in her arms.
"Joy, come to me now!" Christina order, her voice sounded deep and monstrous.
"No! Leave me alone please! Daddy! Daddy! Help me daddy!" Brennan sobbed.
"Daddy, daddy!" Christina mocked, "You have no father Joy! Don't you understand?! You're all alone now!" Christina let out a hysterical laugh.
Brennan screamed as Christina's body twisted. Her figure morphed into a giant snake. Screaming, the child Brennan backed up as the snake's jaws hovered over her, ready for the kill.
End of the dream
"No! No!" Brennan sobbed hysterically. Her body twisted and turned into shPES. It was sickening to watch.
"Bones? Bones? Wake up! It's just a dream!"
Brennan's eyes opened, Booth was starring at her worriedly.
"It was horrible!" she sobbed into Booth's arms, "It all seemed so real…so real!"
Booth rocked her back and forth, "Shh…it was just a nightmare, you're safe now…" Booth soothed.
"No…never safe…" Brennan mumbled. Her eyes fluttered once and she was back asleep.
I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. The next chapter will be when they are at Russ's house. Don't worry, the squint squad and Parker will start to appear more. I'm still debating if I should make Caroline appear, it might be interesting. Please be nice when you review!!
