Sorry it took me so long to update. I've been really busy and trying to focus on some of my many other fanfictions-besides I left the last chapter at a pretty satysifing ending. I still want two or three more chapters though, just to wrap up everything. Again thanks for all the GREAT reviews! I've loved working on this story and kind of happy and sad that it's over-happy cause I can concentrate on other stories with at least one complete one and sad that it's well ending lol how pathetic am I:)
Brennan slowly opened her eyes and blinked as she looked around. She recoginzed that she was in a hospital. God did the room have to be so bright? Tired and weakly she moved her head and glanced at the bed that was next to her. There layed Booth who looked like he was sleeping. Bandages covered his chest as well as his face, and she realized that she too had bandages. He then turned his head-startling her a bit-and looked at her completly relaxed and content and smiled at her. She smiled back.
"Hey." She said softly.
"Hey." He replied and started to sit up but winced at the process of it.
"I don't think you should do that." She scolded him and he laughed and winced at that as well.
"Or that." He added and smiled at her. "How're you feeling?" He asked. She smiled at that.
"Good." She said and chuckled at his glazed look. "You look pretty good too. Very, very ralexed."
"Eh it's the morphine." He muttered. "I'm chocked full of it."
She laughed at that and then looked at Booth-emotions flooding through her.
"Booth..." She said softly ."Seely-about what happened back there..."
"We don't have to talk about it right now if you don't want to." He jumped in quickly. " A lot of shit happened back there."
"I know, but not all of it was bad." She said. He looked puzzled.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"Well for one we met new friends, Trey and Jimmy and for another..." How does one tell the other that you realized your true feelings for him? She understood now that she did more then care for him deeply, she loved him. She just never was ready to admitt that but now after facing death she knew she couldn't wait or else it may never happen. She had a second chance to make things right and she was determined to make that happen.
He looks at her.
"What?" He asked softly-knowingly. She opened her mouth and was about to speak but then the door to their room opened and her team came bursting. They both sighed at that, somewhat dissapointed and somewhat relieved at the same time. Booth wasn't sure if he was ready to admitte his feelings to her anyway.
"Hey Dr. Brennan how are you feeling?" Zach asked and she smiled at that and sat up.
"Groggy but I'm probably doing better then Booth right now."
"Yeah getting shot ouch-that must have hurt." Hodgins said and winced and Booth snorted.
"Thanks Hodgins, that means a lot to me."
"No problem." Hodgins grinned at him.
Cam and Angela both smiled at that.
"You'll be glad to know that Trey is indeed dead." Cam told them.
"Good." Booth said and Brennan nodded.
"If anyone diserves to die it's him." She agreed.
"What about Jimmy?" Booth said suddenly.
"Well he well have to spend some time in jail..." Cam started to say causing Booth to open his mouth angrily. "BUT..." She continued quickly. "Thanks to Hodgin's getting him a rich lawyer we were able to convince the judge to only have him in jail for a year because he was the one who killed Trey at the end and helped in it-helping save more lives."
"Wait that gunshot, that came from Jimmy?" Brennan said quickly and Angela nodded.
"Jimmy managed to pick up Trey's gun and shoot him. Thanks to Jack after he spends a year in jail it will be wiped clean and he can start fresh again-that year won't be on his perminate record."
"How did you manage to do that?' Booth asked Hodgins. Hodgins grinned.
"His lawyer is an old buddy of mine-one who owes me."
Suddenly the door opened again and in walked Tony wearing a doctors suit causing both Booth and Brennan to laugh.
"Tony why the hell are you dressed like a Doctor?" Booth chuckled and Tony pretended to be hurt.
"Hey I am a Doctor! Actually as luck has it I'm a doctor from this hopsital."
Booth and Brennan looked at each other.
"You're kidding right?" Brennan asked. Booth grinned.
"I'll be damned, of all the odds."
Tony smiled at that.
"Well I'll just cut to the chase." He said causing them to look at him, concerned. "Oh no nothings wrong with them!" He said quickly. "Just an opposite. Tempy you'll be fine and out of the hospital within less then a month, some of the burns from the explosion might leave a scar or too." She nodded. "And Booth you are a tough old bird. A wound like that that was kept unclean and not taken care of for so long normally would have killed the person."
"But not Agent Booth." Zach said proudly and Booth grinned and that and so did Tony.
"Nope, not Agent Booth." Tony agreed.
Suddenly the door flew open and little Parker came running into the room, Rebecca close behind him.\
"Daddy, daddy, daddy!" Parker cried and jumped up to Booth's bed.
"Whoa, take it easy there sport." Booth winced a bit as Parker jumped up and down next to him causing the team to smile-seeing Booth's soft side.
"Easy there Parker honey daddy just got out of surgery remember?" Rebecca remined her son.
"Oh yeah, daddy are you still coming to my party tomarow?" Parker demaned and Booth smiled at that and looked at Brennan, both of them was thinking the same thing. They were in this mess simply because he was getting money to by Parker a preseant. Who knew that something so small could be so disasterious?
"No kiddo I'm afraid I can't leave the hospital." Booth said.
"Oh..." Parker pouted and then brightened. "Well can we have the party in here?"
"Uh not your party Parker well all of your friends." Rebecca said quickly. God they would give Booth and the doctors a headache. "But after." She said quickly at Parker's frown. "After you can open mommy and daddy's presents."
Shit, his present. Thanks Rebbeca-Booth thought bitterly. Why was he being mad at his ex wife? Not her fault he didn't buy the present before hand.
After a few more minutes of Parker chatting away Rebbecca quickly had her husband take Parker to the cafeteria while she talked with Booth.
"Sorry if he gave you a headache Seely he can be a handful." She apoligized and he smiled at that.
"No, I loved seeing him. I needed to see him. But could you do me a favor?" He asked. She nodded.
"Sure anything." She said and he handed her his credit card that was on his table.
"Could you get him my present? See I mean to do that today but something came up..."
That caused them all to laugh and suddenly not having a present didn't seem like a huge thing anymore to Booth. He was just happy-no thrilled-to see Parker again, and relieved that Brennan was alive. Nothing else mattered but Parker and Brennan and as he looked at Bones he realized that as soon as the others left it was finally time to tell her to that...
(Odd place to leave it at and I didn't have them tell each other how they really feel about each other mainly cause I wanted to stretch this out another couple of chapters. Though it was short and less action packed hope you enjoyed it!)
