Bones had woken up around 5:00. After that she couldn't go back to bed so she sat on the couch and read. She knew he was going to sleep in until six so she let him. She also knew that her morning sickness was going to start around this time. Around five thirty she put the book down because looking at the words was making her nauseous. She got up and sat on her side of the bed. Careful not to wake him she just put her head in her hands. Recalling some of the stuff Angela had said. I hate Hannah I really do, if I could I wish I could just get rid of her, there is only one person in this world who really loves you and I think that applies to friendship as well, you are my one and true friend. She could had sworn she fell back asleep when a hand reached out and grabbed her waist making her jump up off the bed and yelp only to realize it was Booth.
"Booth! What was that for you scared me!" She had yelped when she had regained her composure and put her hand on her hip. She could hear him chuckle under the blankets. "That wasn't funny." He got up enough to see his face and chest.
"You had fallen asleep that did not look comfortable."
"So you grab me!"
"It was that or shake you and you would have decked me if I shook you. Why are you up so early anyways?"
"Well I couldn't sleep so I started to read then I got nauseous and I came and sat on the bed and just thought." He padded the side of the bed and she stopped her protective stance and sat down again.
"What were you thinking about?"
"Something Angela said when we had that daredevil on our way to the skate park we were talking in the car and I was just remembering what she had said."
"Well..." He had gotten up now and had come to sit next to her and gently hold her waist.
"She said that she hated Hannah and she wish she could just get rid of her. I thought it was because she might suspect that Hannah was replacing her, but later on I figured out it was because you had gone off to Afghanistan and found Hannah and instead of giving us a chance you had gone and went with Hannah again. She really was hoping I would have come to a conclusion in my head that we might end up together. I went to the bar to tell you that but after hearing the choices that you gave me. I decided that you couldn't be mad forever. "She looked at him with glazed eyes as if she had been crying. He hugged her. "I'm sorry I didn't know and the alcohol didn't help my judgment. If I would have known I might have been willing to give a chance. Then when we were stuck in the elevator I realized something as well maybe I did need you more than anything. If I had to search for a new partner for you I couldn't do it. It would hurt not only you but everyone else. Angela, Cam, Hodgins, The Squints. It would affect everyone they would probably hate me or you. It wasn't right, just because mom and dad are fighting doesn't mean the kids have to get hurt as well...right?"
"Yes I understand." She hugged him and cried a little on his shoulder and soon relaxed enough to just lie on his shoulder. Rejoicing the moment he held her reminiscing the night that Vincent died. He rubbed her shoulder and looked over at the clock. 5:57 we had to get ready. He slowly got her into a sitting position so she wasn't leaning on him and he wiped her face from tears using his thumbs. She smiled a little and got up gently making sure she didn't off balance herself and fall back down. She managed to get up and walks to the door and looks down then back at him and smiles. Then continues to walk to the kitchen to get something to eat. He always wondered what Angela talked to Bones about and he managed to get a little peak into that world and some of it wasn't pleasant. He got up and quickly got changed hearing her cook in the kitchen and could smell it too. He walked to the kitchen and sat down at the counter. He tried to look at what she was making but she was hiding it very well. He knew if he said that out loud he would get smacked or worse a death glare. Whatever it was it smelled great. She had heard him come in. She knew he was going to try and figure out what it was so she was going to hide it. It was an easy meal so she was done by the time he had gotten impatient. She could tell because she could hear rustling of his feet and tapping with his fingers on the counter. She chuckled and put his food on a plate and handed it to him. "There I think you have waited long enough." It was ham eggs and a few pancakes. He dove right in she couldn't stand it but she loved to see him happy.
"I love it." He said in between bites. She smiles and makes herself some toast. He finishes and looks at the time. 6:30 we got time to get to the airport. He grabbed her dishes when she was done and finished cleaning as she went and got dressed. He was finished and began to pack and only grabbed the small suit case and packing maybe three days' worth of clothes. She come out of the bathroom with her tooth brush his and the toothpaste. She sat them in a travel bag and grabbed some more of her stuff. He was already finished when he looked at the clock again. 7:15 we were going to have to leave soon if we wanted to make it the security would be double and it would be hard for her to get in. I have to wave my badge and I'm in but she has to go through the line. He mentally kicked himself for that but she could get in I know she would. She always did. He got up and saw that she was done so he packed the bag down and zipped it up and picked it up. "You ready?"
"Yea let my grab the tickets." She headed over to the dresser and grabbed the two first class tickets. Too bad he couldn't enjoy it. The flight was only about an hour long. He couldn't even get some sleep. She had walked up to him and pulled out the roll bar to the suitcase. She grabbed his and her jacket and they walked out into the cold of the winter morning. Booth had put everything in the back of his car. While Brennan got into the car and barely managed to shut the door. He came around the side and drove to the airport.
Beckett had told stories of her past for hours until she had fallen asleep staring into the fake fire. He had just listened intently fascinated by how much she had in only a few years with her mother. He was lucky to at least have his mother no matter how dysfunctional she was. He couldn't dare fall asleep at her stories. He would never hear the end of it. He had been hearing her just quietly chat on until the late hours of the night, warm and comfortable. She had rested her head on his chest gently until he realized she had stopped and her breathing had evened out. Not daring to stop the spark that had electrified his whole body when she had laid on him and soon fallen asleep. He carefully not to move her grabbed another blanket, seeing Martha had fallen asleep and Alexis headed to bed, and wrapped them in the second blanket.
"Don't move." She whispered in her sleep. He almost had a heart attack as he heard her. So breathy and relaxed. He couldn't help but stop breathing. He almost passed out before he could breathe again. If she knew what she had said he wouldn't let her forget it. He stared into the fire a little bit longer and soon too fell asleep.
It was about 7:00 when Beckett had finally woke up. Her pillow beside her was warm and beating. She was a little shocked and realized where she was and saw she was in Castle's apartment. But where? His room? His kitchen? His living room? She looked around and saw the couch and the TV and the fireplace. She was in his living room she had finally remembered what she did last night. The marshmallows, the stories, she really liked it all. She would never let him know but she really did like to spend time with him. He always listened even when she thought he wasn't he was. The fire in her heart and the rest of her body for that was burning brightly almost taking her over with love and appreciation. She wanted so badly to stay like this forever. In his arms safe, the smell of him surrounds her, his steady beating heart drumming through her ears, their bodies fitting together almost perfectly. She just couldn't though she knew if she tried she would push herself to try and do everything to try and solve her mother's case trying to find that man who wanted her mother dead. Losing Montgomery to the same cause didn't help. She still somewhat cringed when she thought one of her best friends had died because of her mom. How could she think about that right now? She was in the arms of one of the few men who really understood her and they weren't freeing to death, or ready to get eaten by a hungry tiger. She had stared into the fire a little bit longer when she remembered. They had a case why had no one called her yet? She looked around for her phone when she say it on the other side of the table she didn't want to move afraid that he might wake up so she reached as far as she could and still couldn't reach the phone. She was at least a few inches away. She had looked around and still couldn't find anything. Then she moved her legs a little bit and had a thought. She got her leg out just enough and took her sock off reaching for the phone with her foot and just barely managed to reach it but she had grabbed it with her big toe and pulled it towards her until she felt him move a little bit. She froze the phone almost falling and looked over at him and he had just laid his head on the back of the couch and she couldn't help but stop (even though looking at the situation she was in) and feel the lightning that sizzled through her heart and electrified her fire deep inside when he held a little tighter and smile. She quickly grabbed her phone and got back to be comfortable. She checked her phone and saw that Lanie had text her. "DC coming at 8" She looked at the time and saw it was 7:30. She bolted up throwing the blankets off and (regretfully) his arms as well making him wake up.
"What! What! What!" He had said in a groggily voice as he bolted up as well and grabbed his head with his hands at the massive headache that soon followed as he got up and was dizzy so he closed his eyes. His headache soon dispersed he reached his hand out to grab anything and grabbed Beckett's wrist and the electricity that had blown its way through his body before did the same only it was more enticing. She had stopped from moving to get her stuff and looked at him.
"The FBI is going to be here at 8." He looked around looking for a clock and saw one. 7:45 we had to hurry him quickly cleaned up the room and finished the dishes.
"Beckett go home..." He said when he was done. She looked at him a little confused then it set in she nodded and grabbed her stuff and nodded again before heading out to her apartment. Castle had taken a really quick shower and headed for the coffee shop to get her coffee. He had gotten there a minute before she did. He sat at her desk until she came in and handed her coffee. It was 8:00.
"So why so late Beckett?" Esposito asked as he came up waiting for the FBI. She looked at him with the 'that's not your business' and grabbed her coffee and took a sip. Ryan came up and looked at Esposito with the same look they share when they know something was up that they weren't telling them. They heard the chime of the elevator. Everyone turned towards and Castle and Beckett almost spit out there coffee. Ryan and Esposito both almost feel of their chairs at the sight of the FBI team that walked through the precinct.
"Hi, I'm Seeley Booth of the FBI."
"And I am Dr. Temperance Brennan of the Jeffersonian Institution." They all stared at her until Beckett got out of her chair and introduced herself to the two.
"Hi, I'm detective Kate Beckett." She held out her hand and they both took it.
"I am Rick Castle. Writer." He said as he stood up and shook both of their hands. "You said Brennan right? I just adore your books."
"I would hope so they have been on the top selling chart for over 8 weeks now." At this he looked a little taken aback. Booth just waved it off as usual.
"Well where is the body?" Beckett had to process what he had said before she had waved her hand in the direction of the morgue. Brennan nodded and headed off in search of something better to do than make small talk. She soon found the morgue and walked in through the swinging doors. She found someone in there and guessed it was the coroner so she simply began to work. The coroner had come up to look at her.
"Hello and what the hell are you doing with my body?"
"I am Doctor Temperance Brennan of the Jeffersonian Institution and I am examining the human remains." The coroner looked at her with the same look that the detective gave her and she simply stood up completely from the human remains. Showing her very prominent belly and set her arms on her abdomen. "And if all you're going to do is staring at me then I would gladly like to work alone."
"No. No, No I'll get to work as well. I just didn't expect the FBI to send someone..."
"So pregnant." She butted in putting her hands on her hips.
"Umm, well yea."
"Well they didn't tell me to go. I went on my own accord. And you did call did you not?"
"Well yea I guess we did. Well I never introduced myself. I am Dr. Lanie Parish. I am the NYPD coroner."
"Yes, I had guessed you were the coroner." She went back to looking at the remains. She pulled up a briefcase she had brought in and set up her laptop and attached the webcam. "Do you mind" She waves her hand to the laptop. Lanie shook her head," Go right ahead." She nodded and called Angela.
"Hey sweetie, so how are you and where are you?"
"I'm doing just fine and I am in the NYPD's precinct."
"What are you doing there?" She looked shocked and a little bit of confused.
"The NYPD called and asked for our help and I can see why the human remains have been wiped off all ID. No hands no head just pieces of a body anything that was once human is now charred remains."
"Sounds like someone was mad at him."
"Yes and I need you make it a face what I can tell from the bones is that it's a Caucasian male mid-thirties about 175 inches tall."
"So no head and you need a face I'll see what I can do" She was going to hang up when Hodgins came in with Michael and Angela soon forgot about the camera and she had picked him up. "What is he doing out of daycare?" She asked swinging him around.
"He bit another kid." Hodgins said a bit proudly. Brennan couldn't help but smile at the fact. Angela came back over to the camera and waved the babies hand for him at her. "Say hi to Auntie Brennan." Brennan waved despite her at the screen. Michael gurgled and then waved his hands around. She heard a sigh followed by a few was. Brennan turned around and saw Dr. Parish staring adoringly at baby Micheal. She saw Brennan turn around and shook herself. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to butt in."
"No you might as well get to know my team. Angela Montenegro is our forensic profiler, and Dr. Jack Hodgins is our entomologist. We also have our coroner and the occasional intern and the infant is Micheal. "
"Hi I'm Dr. Lanie Parish. I am the 12th's coroner."
