Chapter Two:
I wake up the next morning on the couch with an empty wine glass and ice cream tubs in front of me. Angela wasn't there. She had obviously taken the spare bed. I didn't mind. She was pregnant after all. She comes out not too soon after to the sound of me cleaning up from last night.
"Okay. So what are we going to do about Little Miss Barbie-Wannabe?"
"What?"
"Hannah. What're we going to do about her?"
"I'm not going to do anything. I want Booth to be happy, and if he's happy with Hannah, I can accept that. He knows where my feelings are. It's his choice."
Meanwhile, unknowingly to Brennan and Angela, Booth was in the middle of a fight with Hannah.
"What else am I supposed to think when you don't come home til 3am? I've seen the way you look at her. Just tell me the truth, Seeley. You can trust me. Please."
"Hannah, it's too complicated."
"Everything with you is too complicated. We've been together for how long now and I only just found out you have a son. I don't even know about what it was like for you growing up. I've told you so much and you have given me so little of yourself."
"You have no idea what it was like for me growing up. Just drop it."
"Yeah, the only reason I don't know is because you won't tell me."
"Pops brought me up. My dad left when I was younger. He… he… look it's not important okay? It's all in the past."
"What really went on between you and Temperance before you came to Afghanistan?"
"You have no right to pry into things I choose to keep to myself. Just drop it, Hannah. Look, I'm going out to clear my head. I'll be back whenever."
Booth walks out, accidentally slamming the door in the process.
"Are you sure he doesn't love you?"
"Yes. The way he's been-", Brennan and Angela are interrupted by a knock at the door.
"I'll get that. You just think about your answer."
Angela walks off to the door and sees Booth standing at the threshold.
"Hey, Angela. Is Bones home? I wanted to check up on her."
"Yeah, I don't think it's good that you talk to her at the moment. Do you know how much you broke her? Do you realise that she loves you? Do you realise that I spent all night with her talking to me and crying all night? Just do yourself and Brennan a favour, Booth. Just go home to your precious little news reporter girlfriend while I try to put back together the pieces of my best friend and your partner. At least I care enough to help."
Angela shuts the door before Booth has a chance to respond and he stands there confused.
Okay, what went on there?
Booth takes out his phone to give Brennan a quick text.
'Hey, are you okay? Angela wouldn't let me in. Please call me, Bones. I need to know you're okay. Booth.'
He stared at his phone waiting for Brennan to call. Just waiting and hoping.
Brennan's phone buzzes on the table and she picks it up immediately.
"Who was that at the door?"
"Booth. I told him not to come by. That you needed to be alone. Who was the text off?"
"Booth. He wants me to call him."
