Booth sighed and looked up at the wall, at the pictures they had put up together. All those months ago now. Did they still argue as much now as they did back then? He couldn't remember.

"Bones you sure we should do this? Do you want to wait another few weeks." He called up the stairs to where she was changing. it had only been a three weeks since the attack on their house, he had come out of hospital after a week and they were both doing fine. he was just worried that going back would be too much for her.

"Booth I won't be able to go anywhere in a few weeks!" she called back down.

"You sure you're up to this?" he called up again still looking at the pictures.

"Booth I'm pregnant not dying!" she laughed as she walked down the stairs. Booth turned around,

"I know Bones but this is bi…" he stopped and looked her up and down. "… how… what did… How don't you look pregnant?" he stumbled over the words.

"It's this thing, I think it's called a poncho, Orla lent it to me. I thought one shock at a time would be enough for everyone." She said coming up to him.

"You're probably right!" he smiled. She took his hand.

"I nearly always am! Come on I can't wait any longer!" he nodded and they walked out to the car.

Less then an hour later they were passing the diner.

"God I could use some pie!" Booth laughed.

"Seriously you want to think of your stomach right now!"

"It calms my nerves!" He shrugged.

"Yeah right." She sighed.

"Now this is what I remember, driving down this road with you giving out about my eating habits! What's strange this time is you're the one that had a tin of anchovies and a few olives for breakfast!"

"That's what I felt like!" she sighed.

"You alright?" he asked slowing down the car.

"I've been sitting down too long but it's ok we're almost there!" she smiled and looked out the window. "I'm worried Booth! What if they're angry?"

"Bones they're going to be, I won't lie to you! And it's going to be hard but I know that you don't what to turn around and go home letting them think that we're still dead."

"No I don't." she nodded.

"Then come on. We're here." He turned off the car. she looked forward at the Jeffersonian. It had been so long and yet nothing had changed.

"It looks the same." She said softly.

"Yeah I know I expected the place to have fallen down without you!" he laughed. And that earned him a light smack on the arm. He got out of the car, in the past few months he's been able to get all the way around to her side of the car before she was able to get out and he loved that. Helping her out she gripped his hand and they made there was up the path.

Using their old i.d.'s they were able to walk straight into the building. No-one even looked at them. Maybe it's the blonde. Brennan thought Or maybe they've all just forgotten us. They came to the hall than led to what had been her part of the lad. The anthropology unit. There was a large black sign up just beside the door with everyone's names on it. She started at the bottom. Angela, Hodgins, Zach, they were all there. Then she came to the space where her name had been, right under Cam's, but it was blank. Her name was gone. Taken down. Booth must have seen it too because he gripped her hand a little tighter. What did you expect Brennan! She mentally scolded herself.

"Come on Bones!" Booth gave her hand a slight tug. She tore her eyes away from the sign and they walked into the lab.

Brennan looked up at the platform. There they were Cam, Hodgins and Zach. Brennan's breath caught in her throat. Booth had never thought he'd ever be this happy to see the squint squad. They silently walked towards them. Hodgins had his back turned to them at one of the computer screens. Cam and Zach were leaning over the remains on the table in the middle of the platform.

"There's anti-mortem fractures along the jaw." Zach said, and Brennan took that as her chance to speak up.

"And what conclusion can you draw from that Zach?" she asked. The two of them looked up suddenly. Cam looked like she was about to speak but her jaw just fell open. Zach couldn't even move. Hodgins still hadn't seen them.

"God that sounded just like…" he started to say as he turned around. As he did he dropped the file in his hand. "...Temperance… Booth!" he said also stunned.
