A/N: Thanks for all the reviews! Here is the next chapter!
Chapter Two: When He's Gone
Booth now spent the first part of his Mondays checking to see if there were any important anniversaries in the near future.
Everything was clear for about a month.
Then the date rolled around when he was kidnapped by that joker Gallagher, and he had a fair idea of what to expect.
That night he laid himself to bed, and wrapped his arms tightly around Brennan, hoping that he could reassure her that he was, in fact, right next to her, and not going anywhere.
However, despite his best efforts, she rolled out of his grasp, or perhaps he let go and sometime during the night, he awoke and found she was not next to him.
He pulled himself out of the bed, and was about to go to the bathroom to look for her, when he nearly tripped over her in the process.
She had curled up in the fetal position on the floor at the end of their bed. She looked up at him, as if she had known that he was there all along and whispered, "I dreamed that I didn't get to you in time… Gallagher, he killed you Booth." She just barely choked out the last part.
Booth reached down and lifted her up by her arms. "Hey," he whispered, as he encased her in his arms. "Don't cry, Bones. You did get there in time. I'm here."
She looked up at him, her eyes red and puffy, "But, what if -"
"No 'what ifs'." He said lifting her chin with his index finger. "Y'know I love you, Bones."
"I know." She said. "I love you, too."
He smiled and lifted her into his arms and gently laid her on the bed. Then he climbed in beside her, wrapping his arms around her and smiling as she whispered, "I love you more than you know."
A/N 2: Alright. This is getting really sappy for my liking, so methinks the next chapter is going to have some interesting things. Max Keenan, Sweets… Questions, answers. Booth still being uber protective strong where-can-I-find-a-man-like-that guy… Maybe make Brennan try to rationalize what's going on. Angela talk. Wow. I think this might take more than one chapter. XD Please review.
