I am obsessed with angst- Dark Noon (Previously New New Moon) has become angsty too! Here's the fifth chapter. (Sorry for the wait- I was in a Twilight mood.)

"I am so sorry, Bones?" he whispered in her ear as he hugged her.

They were at the airport, saying goodbye- perhaps forever, perhaps for a few months. Parker was standing with Rebecca to the side- both had glassy eyes.

Booth turned to Parker and Rebecca. "Hey, buddy, don't cry- I'll be back."

"But what if you don't?" he asked in that innocent way of his. "What if you leave me and Mommy?"

"I will do my hardest to get back, Parker. I love you." Booth said, trying not to cry. Parker threw his arms around his father, and Booth hugged him back.

Eventually, he straightened, and turned to Rebecca.

"Now don't you cry, too." he joked, and hugged her.

He turned around as his flight was called.

"Bones- I just wanted you to know that I really, really care about you- I might even love you." he whispered to Bones.

Then he left, leaving Bones in shock, and Rebecca and Parker in tears.

I just wanted you to have a little something to tide you over- next chapter will be much longer!!!
