Hi all! I got that chapter up today like I promised! I hope you all are enjoying this story, I know you all are probably concerned about the whole B&B situation, and there may be a happy ending for them later on...if I'm nice ;)

Enjoy!

For Booth and Brennan, the past two months have been...awkward to say the least. Booth and Hannah had gotten engaged not even a month after the night of Booth and Brennan's drunken...event. That caused extreme tension between the two partners, and she hadn't seen Booth for longer than a few minutes in over a month.

Brennan had also been feeling under the weather lately, and she had gotten a surprising diagnosis from her doctor. Pregnant. Nine weeks to precise.

Her first instinct was to just sit down and cry, but she wouldn't allow herself the sorrow. It had been her own fault, she should have just taken Booth home as soon as she had arrived at the bar, and not sat and had those drinks with him. If only she had just refused, then she wouldn't be pregnant with a soon-to-be-married man's child.

She had made the decision that she was going to leave town, and completely sever all ties with Booth. He needed the opportunity to be happy, and her staying around while growing his child, when he was with another woman would not be the solution of him being happy. Her leaving would be. If Booth were to find out that she was pregnant with his child, he would leave Hannah, and only want to be with Brennan simply out of obligation. She didn't want that to happen, she didn't want to be forced to live with the burden of splitting up two people, simply because of a mistake they had made while under the influence of alcohol.

Angela and Hodgins were aware of Brennan's current situation, as was Cam. Though they all disapproved of her leaving, they understood why she chose to do so. Brennan had promised Angela and Jack that she would visit town when their baby was born, and she promised Cam to always be on call for the interns. She also promised both of them that she would contact them immediately when she arrived at her new home.

Standing in her now old and empty apartment, Brennan felt a tear make it's way down her face. She didn't want to leave, but she found it to be the only possible solution. Soon Booth and Hannah would be married and having children of their own, and Brennan herself wouldn't matter anymore. She decided that it was best if she severed all ties before having to endure the pain of watching Booth's life progress even more without her.

Angela, Cam, Jack, and a few hired movers had helped Brennan move everything out of her apartment and into the U-Haul outside of her apartment building. Max had volunteered to drive the U-Haul to her new place, which no one but Brennan herself knew.

While waiting for Max to show up, Angela, Jack, Cam, and Brennan were all having a conversation on a bench in the lobby of her building.

"Sweetie, I really wish you didn't have to leave."

"I don't want to leave Angela, but I find that it is the easiest solution for this situation."

"You know that if and when Booth finds out that you're pregnant with his baby, and he finds out we didn't tell him, he's going to shoot all of us." Hodgins said, a slight look of fear on his face.

"Well Doctor Hodgins that won't happen because none, and I repeat none, of us are going to tell Booth about this. No matter how hard he begs for details about Brennan's whereabouts and why she left, when he actually notices she's gone." Cam stated.

"I couldn't thank you guys enough for this, I find myself feeling quite affectionate towards all of you."

"Aw. We love you too Sweetie. Don't forget that, okay?"

"I won't Ange." Brennan said, watching Cam and Hodgins nod in agreement with Angela.

The four continued their conversation until none other than Mr. Max Keenan walked into the lobby, Brennan immediately stood, hugging her father.

"You ready to go Honey?" he asked.

"Yes." Brennan said.

Her present trio of coworkers all gave her a hug, wishing her the best and demanding to be contacted as soon as she was settled. Brennan agreed, then walked outside with her father.

"Now Tempe where exactly am I taking you?" Max asked.

"I have the address and directions to my new place written down here, I'm going to have to meet you there because I have to go turn in my form of severing my partnership with Booth."

She watched Max nod as he read over the directions.

"Chicago? Really Tempe?"

"Yes. I found a teaching position at Northwestern University. However we will be stopping at a hotel in Indianapolis due to the length of the drive, the directions to that are in here as well." Brennan said, gesturing to the paper in Max's hands.

"Okay baby. How long do you think it'll be before you get on the road?"

"Half an hour if I don't get stopped by Booth or anyone else at the Hoover."

"Alright. What time do you think you'll be arriving in Indy?"

"Well, it's eight o'clock in the morning now, if I get on the road without any interruptions I estimate I should be at the hotel around five thirty or six o'clock this evening."

"Okay honey, I'll see you then. You be careful alright?"

"I will Dad." Brennan said, getting into her own car.

While Max drove one direction in the U-Haul, Brennan drove in the opposite direction towards the Hoover in her Prius.

When arriving at the FBI building, she immediately went up to Deputy Director Sam Cullen's office. His secretary nodded at her, saying that he was ready for her. Temperance knocked before entering his office, and was immediately greeted by Cullen.

"Temperance! How are you? What can I do for you today?" he asked.

"I've been better Sam, though thank you for asking. I am here to turn in my form that states that I would like to sever my partnership with Booth."

"Now Doctor Brennan," Sam said, becoming formal, "Just why would you want to sever the best partnership this agency has ever known?"

"I've been having some...personal issues in which Booth has been the root for many of them. I have found that the only solution for these issues to be resolved is by severing all ties with him, and get out of D.C." Temperance said, handing him the envelope containing her form.

"I can see you already have your mind set on this."

"Yes, I do. I have already given up the lease on my apartment here and found a new home and job in Chicago. I am on my way there now, actually."

"Well Temperance, though I do not approve of your leaving, I guess I have no other choice. It is your life, and I in no way have any right to tell you how to live. Unless something in your form is not in order, I see no other reason to contact you. However, need it be, how can I reach you?"

"You will be able to get my contact through Ms. Montenegro-Hodgins or Dr. Saroyan at the Jeffersonian after I have settled. Though, Director Cullen, I do wish that my personal whereabouts be unknown to Agent Booth once I depart from this office within the next couple of minutes. I also provided Doctor Saroyan with the order to put Dr. Clark Edison as the Jeffersonian liaison with the FBI." Brennan said.

"Though I can't promise Agent Booth won't discover of your whereabouts, I can promise you that he won't hear it from me. I wish you all the best Temperance."

"Thank you Sam, I'll stay in touch." Brennan said, exiting his office.

Just when she thought she had made it without being sighted, Hannah spotted her exiting the elevator in the lobby.

"Temperance, hello!" Hannah greeted.

"Hello Hannah, though I don't intend to sound rude, I really must be going."

"Oh not a problem Temperance, was Seeley in his office?" the blonde asked.

"I don't know the answer to that, I didn't see Booth."

"Oh, okay. Well, hope you have a wonderful day Temperance!"

"You as well Hannah." Brennan said brusquely, exiting the Hoover.

When Brennan sat behind the steering wheel of her car, she allowed the tears to fall freely for a moment. Eventually, she composed herself, and started her car, driving out of D.C., and into her new life.

"Agent Booth, do you have a moment?" Charlie asked, popping his head into the agent's office.

"I have to get going anyways Seeley, I'll see you at home?"

He nodded at her, watching her leave.

"Now what do you want Charlie?"

"Deputy Director Cullen asked me to deliver this to you." Charlie said, holding up and envelope.

Booth motioned for Charlie to come and give it to him. Booth opened the envelope, and the heading of the letter made him nearly want to vomit.

Request of Partnership Severment:

Status: Approved and Enacted

This letter is to inform Special Agent Seeley Joseph Booth of the Homicide Division at the Federal Bereau of Investigation office in Washington D.C. that his partnership with Doctor Temperance Brennan of the Jeffersonian Institution has been severed per request of Doctor Brennan. Dr. Brennan claims to have personal issues regarding Agent Booth, and has expressed to Deputy Director Samuel Cullen that she no longer has the interest of working with him.

Booth stopped reading the letter there, and felt an overwhelming wave of nausea hit him.

"Just why in God's name would Bones want to sever our partnership?" he asked himself aloud.

'Maybe because you've been nothing but a dick to her since you and Hannah got engaged.' A voice in the back of his head said.

"But Bones wouldn't randomly just do something like this. There's a reason behind everything that she does." he whispered to himself.

He pulled out his phone, dialing her cell number, only to find that it had been disconnected. He raced out of his office and over to her apartment, only to discover from the doorman that she had completely moved out earlier that day. Returning back to his SUV, he sat in the drivers seat and put his head in his hands.

"Just what exactly did I do wrong?" he asked himself, and a single tear made it's way down his face.

More drama to take place soon. Hannah will leave...eventually. If I'm nice ;) A review for your thoughts? :)
