Sorry it took so long. I went home for the weekend. Here's the next installment

Angela Montenegro sat in the sterile room with nothing but her own thoughts. Her chair was pressed against the wall, several feet away from where Jack lay.

"Miss?" A voice sounded from the doorway. "I'm Mr. Hodgins' doctor are you his wife?"

As the man approached Angela she stood and offered her hand. "Um no. I'm… just a friend."

"Alright, well I'll tell you what I can. Mr. Hodgins was found unconscious and severely dehydrated. We've been giving him fluids intravenously but right now he's in a coma. There's really no telling when he could wake. It could be minutes, hours, days. We'll just have to wait it out." The doctor looked over the chart. "There was an unusual observation by one of our emergency room doctors."

Angela gave the doctor a curious glance. "What is that?"

"The female patient had not yet become fully unconscious. She was still somewhat lucid. And according to the investigators on site there was still enough air." The doctor sighed, wondering whether or not he should tell this woman what he was thinking. "It seems as if he forced himself to pass out by holding his breath."

"Oh my God." Angela whispered as she moved slowly to the side of the bed. She reached for his hand hesitantly then pulled away, turning to the doctor. "Is it ok to-"

"Oh yes, it wont hurt him." The doctor assured stepping to her side. "Actually you being nearby and talking with him might bring him around sooner." The man laid a calming hand on the visibly scared woman. "Don't worry he'll be fine."

"Thank you." Angela nodded. Once the doctor had checked the various machines attached to the entomologist before leaving, Angela placed her hand on top of Jacks. His hands were laid across his abdomen, his body relaxed and limp. Angela spoke as she sat down beside him. "Jack, I need you to wake up." She frowned sadly as she swallowed the tears that were threatening to fall. "I've got some ideas for out date and none of them have to do with you lying in a hospital bed."

Jacks body made no movement. As tears began to stream down Angela's delicate cheeks she positioned herself so that she was lying beside the entomologist. She took his hand in hers and wrapped it around her waist, laying her head on his shoulder and her other arm draped across his still form.

Tempe's Apartment

"Booth. I'm not a child." Tempe said as she unlocked the front door from the extremely awkward position in which her body was being held. As the front door flew open Booth carried her through the entrance.

"No. But you are weak." He fought. "Where do you want me to put you?"

"Couch please." She said allowing him to carry her to the large piece of furniture. Once he laid her down, her arms remained tight around his neck.

"Bones, you have to let go." Booth smiled down at her from where he stood.

"Not if you sit." Tempe tugged on him until he sat down beside her stretched out body. As she pulled his face closer to hers, Booth wrapped his arms around her slender waist, drawing her body flush against his until their lips finally met. As they pulled their arms tighter around each other their kiss grew hungrier and more urgent. Her hands released his neck and slid over his rounded shoulders and over his chest. As Temperance's delicate fingers worked the buttons of his dress shirt open Booth looked up into her eyes.

His voice was hushed, his eyes conveying all the emotions he felt. "Temperance." She placed a finger over his lips to silence him.

"Carry me." She whispered before bringing her lips back to his.

Booth stood; as he placed one arm under her legs and the other around her back she wrapped her arms around his neck once more. He lifted her body slowly off of the couch and walked with her in his arms towards her bedroom. Her lips moved over the bare flesh of Booth's neck as he walked, the sensation causing him to stop for seconds at a time to revel in the feeling. It took about a minute longer to reach the room than it normally would have. Once inside the dimly lit room Booth laid her down on the bed, when he stood beside her motionless Temperance sat up and spoke.

"Booth?" Her eyes, despite being hooded with passion, conveyed a sense of confusion.

"We can't do this." He said simply. Booth's hands were on his hips as he looked down at her. When he saw the hurt flash in her eyes he immediately regretted his choice of words. "I mean we can and we will. But-" Booth tried to think of the right words. "Will you have dinner with me tomorrow night?"

Tempe smiled at the way his voice was thick with nervousness and his weight shuffled from one foot to the other as he attempted to avoid her gaze. "Sure."

Booth smiled as he began walking towards the door, her voice stopping him in his tracks.

"Seeley." The sound of his name on her lips was the most euphoric sound Booth had ever heard. "Lie with me."

Her command was so simple that the complications of their work life and romantic life were obliterated in that moment. Booth kicked off his shoes as he finished unbuttoning his dress shirt. Once his had removed those articles of clothing he climbed slowly over her until he was lying in the empty space beside her in the bed. Temperance lifted her head off the pillow to allow Booth to wrap his arm comfortably around her body. Her hand fell across his toned abdomen as Booth tugged her closer and pressed a kiss to her hair.

"Sleep well Bones." He whispered to her. As he looked down at the gorgeous women in his arms he saw that her eyes had drifted shut and a quiet snore was emanating from her.

Hope ya liked it. Sorry for the wait. Next chapter up soon hopefully. Reviews are welcome.
