Also: OMG!The episode The Doctor in the Photo had me freaking out.I was thinking finally, I never thought they'd have her admit it.

Disclaimer: I don't own..]=

Booth woke up a little hazy, but still knowing what had happened. He had to know what Brennen had meant. In his head he realized he hadn't called her Bones. Weird, he thought to himself.

Bones was a few rooms down from him. When she woke up she was in a different room and for a second she forgot where she was. Then, she was dreading facing Booth because, she knew, he was going to visit.

She wanted to see Angela. She thought she might know what to say to make her feel a little better. Ugh, everything was so messed up, she thought.

Booth was contemplating whether or not to go talk to her so, up he went, expecting Max or any one of the squint squad to come visit now that they knew she was OK.

Brennen was trapped in her thoughts, thinking how bad this could turn out. She knew he had said that he loved her but that was over seven months ago. And it hadn't been that she couldn't change, it was that she didn't want to. She didn't want to gain him as a boyfriend just to lose him as a friend.

Booth walked over to the doctor who had been caring for them both and had him point out where Bones's room was. He had to tell her he still loved her but he didn't want her to run again.

He knocked on the half closed door to the room the doctor had pointed out. It was a small single room, like his he thought. Better for her, she hated hospitals. But then again, he thought, they both did.

When he knocked, she stared to get nervous but managed a soft, 'come in'. When she saw him all she wanted was for him to hold her, make her feel loved in way only he could.

"Hey Bones. How are ya feeling?" he asked concern coloring his tone.

"Fine Booth, just a little sore but nothing to bad." she replied quietly, eyes downcast.

"Has your dad came yet?" Booth asked, "He was here the other day but..." He cut off awkwardly.

"Yeah, he was just in here a few minutes ago." she said back, "He went to ask a doctor when it would be OK for me to leave."

"Yeah, I don't like hospitals either Bones." Booth stated.

There was complete silence for a while when Booth started talking. "What you said last night Bones," he paused, "What did you mean?"

She looked down and around nervously. "Bones," he pleaded, "Please tell me. I want to know."

She looked him strait in the eyes,"I meant that..."she stopped, contemplating, and then started again, though more quietly, "I meant that when I was asleep, I dreamt that we weren't working together." she said the end softly.

Booth looked a little shocked that that was all, "Why was that so bad to say Bones?" he asked curiously.

She looked at him, "It wasn't that we weren't working together Booth, it was why we weren't."

"And what is that?" he asked her softly, getting a little worried now.

"We weren't because the bureau doesn't let couples work together." she said almost like she was hoping that he wouldn't hear her.

Now he was really shocked. Wow he thought, she thinks about you to, and then it really hit him. "You're saying that we were a couple but.. what?" He was confused.

"Yes we were a couple but I didn't want to change what we have, I can't lose you like that Booth." she sounded like she was about to cry.

"Bones, I wouldn't let that happen to us." he said with conviction.

Max walked in then, "Hey, um don't want to interrupt but just wanted to say the doctors said you should be just fine to leave tomorrow but you would have to come in once a month for the next couple of months to make sure there isn't any brain damage."

"OK, thanks dad." she said as sincerely as she could. He smiled, "I'm gonna get going then Tempe, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yeah," she replied, "Bye." He left thinking, wow a little glad I left.

"Please Booth, I really just want to sleep. I'm tired."

"OK Bones, I'm sorry I bothered you." he replied a little sad.

"Yeah," she replied quietly as he left.

She regretted not stopping him from leaving but she couldn't do this now. She really was tired, she had slept fitfully all night and was still sore from the bruises and cuts from the crash.

She drifted off and some time later heard people talking. "I don't want to walk her up," a voice that she recognized as Angela's' said. She opened her eyes to see Angela and Hodgins there. It comforted her knowing that they cared.

Angela looked over, "Sweetie, I'm so glad you're all right, the other day when I got the call," she paused, holding back tears, "They said you were in the ICU and Booth was still unconscious. I was so worried about you." Hodgins went and wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Ange, I'm fine now really," she said, sounding more like she wanted to convince herself then Angela. "They said I could leave tomorrow." she looked around. "What time is it?" she asked," I dozed off for a while."

"It's,"Ange looked at her watch, "Almost seven."

"Wow, I slept for a lot longer then I thought."

"They told us we had to be out of here by 7:30, we would've came sooner but we didn't know you were awake until Booth called."Hodgins said.

"We should go and let you sleep, we'll go see you when your back at home, I don't want to think about you in a hospital bed." Angela said.

Brennen smiled, "Yeah, I'll call you when I get home Ange. It means a lot though that you came here. Thank you." she smiled again.

"Sleep, sweetie. We'll see you tomorrow." Her and Hodgins left and Brennen felt tired again. Must be the drugs they gave her she thought. She fell asleep.

Booth was thinking how bad this could turn out. He realized that could probably leave soon to. With that he fell asleep, thinking about what it would be like if him and Bones did get together. He fell asleep smiling.

Yeah, way late but I kept rewriting and then I couldn't focus and then I thought it was crap so...yeah.
