Booth didn't want to wake up. He was in a half conscious kind of state of still dreaming, and he was dreaming about his Bones and he wanted so desperately for it to be real. He was trying to fall back asleep but then he realized he could sign himself out of here today.

He figured he would rather go home and sleep then sleep here. He pressed the call nurse button because he was feeling a little lazy, which he knew was dumb but he was tired.

Brennen woke up in comfortable silence. She couldn't wait to go and sleep in her own bed. Her dad was going to come to drive her home. She didn't know when he was going to be here, so she was contemplating on whether or not to go back to sleep. Which was starting to sound really good at the moment.

She was surprised that they were letting her go home so soon but she guessed it was because she had gained consciousness so soon after an accident like that. But, still it was weird for her.

Booth was talking to a doctor about leaving and sure enough, he could as soon as he got the paperwork so Booth was thinking of who he could call. Usually, if something like this would happen he would call Bones but, obviously he couldn't do that so he was thinking.

Max walked into the hospital with a purpose, to get Booth with his daughter. He knew that they both knew but weren't going to do anything about it. He knew he had to be discreet or Tempe would catch on, so he had thought of what he was going to do that night before.

Brennen saw her dad walking toward her room but he wasn't looking at her room, he was a little bit down the hallway. She realized he probably went to talk to Booth.

Sure enough Max walked into Booths room and right away went, "Need a ride home?" Booth looked up with a shocked expression. "I mean only if you want to but I didn't know if you had a ride." He said as and afterthought.

Booth thought and then realized, Max was always up to something. Well, he thought what could it hurt. "Yeah, sure sounds good to me." Booth said after awhile. Max smiled, "Good, I'm going to go see if Tempe's up or ready to go and I'll be back in a little while." and he left the room.

Yeah, definitely up to something, thought Booth. Well this should be fun. He looked around for his clothes and got dressed. He really was happy to be going home.

Brennen was up and ready to go before Max got to her room. She looked up as he walked in, "You ready to go sweetie?" he asked. "I'm giving Booth a ride to so I hope you're OK with that he said in a matter of fact way.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" she asked curiously.

"Well you never know." replied Max. OK, she thought, weird.

Booth went to check out and hurried to Bones's room. He met them half way there. "We were just getting ready to leave," said Max," He glanced at Booth again. "You're welcome to join us if you would like. He gave Booth a sly kind of look and started walking. Booth followed.

Booth followed Max out to his car. He unlocked the doors and Brennen climbed in the front seat. Booth stood there for a split second, then decided to climb into the backseat.

He didn't really think about where they were going until Bones's voice brought him out of his own little bubble.

"I thought you were going to drive Booth home?" she asked, a little confused. Max just smiled. Booth got it now. Man, he thought, that guy really was good at what he does.

Booth decided he needed to say something. "Would it be OK if i crashed at your place for tonight Bones? Just to make sure your OK tonight." he paused as she looked back, contemplating. "I'll leave in the morning." he added at the end.

She looked at him, then at her dad and finally, "If you want to its fine by me." she said as Max proceeded to park in front of her building. Once they got to her apartment Max piped in.

"Well since you have Booth looking after you I think I'll come by in the morning," he said almost smugly. Booth wanted to hit him but he knew that that would just get him in trouble with Bones so he didn't, but he eyed the older man knowingly.

He left after promising to come by in the morning. When he left Brennen offered him a drink but he declined. They spent the rest of the day just puttsing around the house. Brennen asked him if he wanted to go anywhere for supper.

"I'm tired, if it's OK, I think I'm just gonna go to bed?" she looked at him funny.

"Why wouldn't it be, of course, I'll get some sheets for the guest room." she said.

Once she had made sure he hadn't needed anything, she made it to her own room, exhausted. She quickly changed and fell into her bed. She had known what her dad had been trying to do in getting Booth to stay here, but she was to tired to really think about it.

They both drifted off thinking of the other, and what Max had been trying to tell them.

OK, so not my best. I NEED REVIEWS! they help me write. Yeah yeah I know I have been trying to post regularly but, as you can tell, I'm not all that good at it. Reviews please. [=
