Okay, so here is the deal. I know that I said that I would be posting the day after I last posted, but I'm taking part in a 'posting party' tomorrow on another site and I tend to like to keep my stories on both sites in the same place so that no one gets a sneak peak. So, this is a lead in for what is coming tomorrow.

BUT! Tomorrow, for a fact, this story and the second chapter of Solace in Facade will be completed and posted which means, for this story, there will be multiple chapter postings. So, you'll have to keep a lookout for them when the come up because the story won't be bumped to the top after the first post.

Anyhoo, I hope you enjoy this chapter and PLEASE REVIEW!

Booth went to go get the pizza, taking Parker, Christine and Taylor for a ride with him. Brennan was tending to Abby in the kitchen anxiously awaiting their return. She wanted to talk to Booth. Tell him what had happened with Angela and explain to him why she believed that she had acted that way before she had lost her memory; not to mention the fact that she needed to know why she suspected him of cheating on her.

One thing that Brennan had learned throughout her life is that normally, where there is smoke, there is fire and this only led her to believe that Booth was indeed hiding something from her. Whether that secret was indeed the affair that she had originally been suspicious of or something else completely, now was the time for him to come clean to her about it. She knew that it was most likely something rather than nothing and knowing Booth the way she did, at least five years ago, she knew that he would try to take care of the problem on his own behind her back so that she didn't have to worry about it; much as she had done numerous times in the past with him.

She was startled out of her reverie when the doorbell rang. She carefully laid Abby down in her bassinette and went to the door and opened it to find Julia on the other side.

"Doctor Brennan!" she said enthusiastically.

"Julia. How nice to see you." She said half heartedly, "What can I do for you?"

Julia smiled and pointed toward the living room, "I think my wallet fell out of my purse when I was here earlier. Do you mind if I take a look around?"

Brennan smiled and opened the door wider for her to step through, "No, of course not. Come on in." Brennan said reluctantly.

Julia stepped inside and made her way straight to the living room and began searching for her wallet, "So, how is everything going?" she asked.

Brennan looked at her curiously, "What do you mean?"

Julia got down on her hands and knees and looked under the couch, "Oh, you know. With the memory loss. It must be so disheartening to not remember some of the best years of your life." She said, crawling further down the length of the couch.

Brennan shrugged, "Not so much disheartening as it is surprising. Five years ago I would have never dreamed of this happening, you know, married to my partner with three children. I was never one for the domestic lifestyle and now I find it… fulfilling, I guess."

Julia smiled at her, "Well, I'm glad that you're finding it… fulfilling." She said, from under the couch.

Brennan looked at the girl strangely just as Abby started fussing in the other room, "Do you mind?" Brennan said, pointing in the direction of the baby.

Julia smiled, "Oh, no of course not. I'll just keep checking."

Brennan nodded and made her way into the other room and picking up Abby, "You know, I'm actually glad you're here." Brennan called into the other room.

"Why's that?" Julia called back.

Brennan cleared her throat before continuing, "It's just, I've found out some things about my marriage that have left me with a few questions and I was just wondering if you've noticed anything about Booth in the past few months."

"Like what?" Julia asked.

Brennan shook her head, "I don't know. I have the strangest feeling that he's keeping something from me and I was just curious if you knew what that was?"

Brennan bounced Abby a little to coax her into a better mood and without warning there was a loud slamming sound all throughout the house. She turned toward the sliding glass door and saw it lock suddenly by itself. When she turned around, Julia was standing in the kitchen door, leaning up against the wall with a smile on her face.

"What was that?" Brennan asked.

Julia looked up at the ceiling and pointed, "Oh, you mean that sound?" she asked. Brennan nodded in response, "That sound was the house going on lockdown." She pushed herself off the wall and slowly walked toward Brennan, "Gee, Doctor Brennan." She said sarcastically, "It seems I had my wallet with me the whole time." She smiled, "But look at what I found under the couch." She said holding up a carving knife.

Don't forget, tomorrow there will be multiple chapters posted for this story.

And my new story will be posted within the next few days featuring a well loved and adorable character from the show... any guesses?
