Chapter# 8 - Home

Brennan smiled at his expression when she opened his door. As he turn to face her, Booth saw Cullen and Angela stepping out of the door that connects from the garage to the house. He smiles as his boss help him getting out of the SUV.

"Sir! What are you doing here?" Cullen put his arm around Booth back to help him support himself to get out of the SUV.

"Well, Dr. Brennan called me yesterday and told me what she wants to do, so I offer myself to help her." Cullen said simply as he helps Booth walking into the house.

"Booth, is nice to see you." Angela said to him as he hugs him. Booth do the same as hard as he could and then face her.

"Is nice to see you too Angela." Booth answered smiling at her.

Booth walked slowly inside the home. It was really warm inside. All the decorations were equal to the one he remember in her apartment, the color orange, green and cream made the kitchen, the dinner room and the living room, bright and relax. Booth smiles as he walks toward the chair in front of him. Cullen got his hand in Booth arms as he walks.

"Booth, I think is better for you to get into you room" Brennan told Booth and he smile and agree. Brennan led the way into a room located in the first floor. As he enters, he smiles. He recognizes many things from his apartment inside "his room". As he sit in the bed, he take a look in front of him, she put a TV in his room.

"I think that you need some entertainment in here." she gave him the remote control.

"Thanks Bones." He said taking her hand on his.

"Now, you lay down and rest. Did you want to change you clothes?" She asked knowing that he won't be feeling quite comfortable in jeans.

Booth knotted and told her want he want, as she pick into the hospital bag he had. After giving him the clothes, she exits the room.

"How is he?" Ask Angela.

"He is changing his clothes, but it seems calm. Thanks a lot Sir."

"Don't worry Dr. Brennan, if you need something else just call. I will come in the night with my wife, she is keeping asking for Booth, if that's ok with you."

"That will be nice" Respond Brennan smiling at Cullen as she accompanies him to the door.

As Cullen leave, Angela get her purse.

"I think that I should be going. I need to go to the lab." Angela said as she hugged her friend.

"Thanks Angela you and Cullen really save my life. I don't know who call to be in here when the medical equipment arrived."

"Don't be silly sweetie. Actually Sam and I had a really nice time. He really cares about Booth. Well sweetie, I think I should go, if you need anything, call." Angela said to her as she walks to her car.

Temperance changes her clothes to something more comfortable and then gets into his room. When she enters, he was sleeping in the bed. He had changed his clothes already. She smiles at him. He was hugging one of the pillows. She touch his forehead and it was still warm, so she cover him up with the bed spread before leaving him in the room.

He had been sleeping for two hours when the doctor entered into his room. Brennan had been talking with him for almost an hour. During this time, Brennan got all the information she need to take care properly of him. Brennan waits for the doctor to connect Booth to the IV. She knows how to do it because the nurse in the hospital teaches her, but she still is scare of doing something wrong. By the time Booth wakes up, he was connected to the IV and to a heart monitor. As he tries to sit in the bed the voice of a man stop him.

"I'm glad that you finally get some rest Seeley."The man said to him.

"Dr. what are you doing here?" Booth ask in amusement.

"Well, I'm taking care of my patient." Booth look at him suspiciously.

"Ok. Temperance calls me yesterday." The doctor said calmly.

"Did you know her?" Booth see the familiarity as he call her by her name.

"Yes, she was my former student in college. How are you felling? And I want the truth." He inquired seriously.

"Not quite good." Booth said closing his eyes.

"I see that. I call you local doctor yesterday. He told me that you are anemic and dehydrate. Also that you are getting really sick after the treatments." Booth knotted as the doctor continues. "Well, I have seen you test results, and I'm quite worry of you health. I already know that you put yourself to schedule your next chemotherapy, but I was wondering if you can reconsider it."

"What?" Booth asked in amusement.

"I have to talk to you. I think that maybe we can mix to therapies so you can rest for the chemotherapies." The doctor told him giving him some documents.

"How does it work?" Booth asked after taking a quick glance to the paper the doctor gave him.

"Well, you will still received one conventional therapy on Mondays. The same as you receive the last time, but the rest of the week, you will receive the treatment in a lower dose in pills."

"Pills?"

"Well yes. I change you treatment doses. Maybe it will take a little longer, but I think that right now, this is the best."

"What about the side effects?" Booth really worried about the side effects of the treatment.

"You will still have some, but we hope to be less intense that the one you felt in this past days. Also, Temperance made me accept that a nurse brings the therapy here on Mondays, so you won't have to exit the house." The doctor smiled at his face expression of complete shock.

"She did what?"

"I think it was a great idea actually, right now; you have to take care of yourself. Your immune system is very week; if you don't take care you will end in a hospital bed again. I knew that this don't scare you, bout right now, you need to think in your family."

Booth talked to his doctor for a long time. Instead of a doctor patient relationship, they share a friendship. His doctor became his best friend during the past's months. That was the reason for his doctor to allow him to return to his home.

Bones enter into his room as she heard both of them laughing. Booth seems so calm and relax in her house, that she can even imagine that he was so sick.

"Bones!" Booth noticed her in the doorway.

"I see you are awake."

"Sort of." He said honestly as his eyes began to close.

"Well Seeley, I will be in town for the next three weeks visiting my daughter and my family, if you need something just calls me. That goes to you to Temperance."

Seely and Bones knotted and the doctor excuse himself. A few minutes later, Bones enter to his room, with a yogurt and his pills.

Well, you need to eat something, before taking you pills.

Booth closes his eyes. "I'm not hungry,"

"Just eat a little… please "Booth take deep breathes before accepting. He knows that she have huge troubles just to make all this possible, so he was going to help her.

Booth took the spoon and ate half the yogurt. Brennan want him to finish it, but the doctors told her that he wont have appetite for a while, and the better she can do, is making him ate as every opportunity she had… After giving him his medicine, Bones injected something to his IV. Booth look amazed at her.

"You will be a good nurse you know?" She smile at him.

"I don't think so but thank you." He gave her a weak smile.

"What did you gave me?

It's only an antibiotic. You have fever, so the doctors gave you antibiotics to prevent any infections.

Oh…

This will make you sleep for a while. Did you want me to prepare something for you to eat in the afternoon?

No Bones… but thank you.

Ok… I will be in… bones look at him and smile… I get it… you don't have time to see the house... Booth smile while knotted… well, when you can, I take you to see the house… well, at least the lower story…

I love to do it now… if you want…

Brennan smile at him, as she helps him getting out of bed. He picks up his IV bag from the stand, and walk at her side slowly with the crutches, but after a few step, he decide to return to bed. Brennan notices that he was too weak to walk, and sit at his side.

It's ok… You can still watch TV here.

Thanks Bones, for everything… I now that these have to be…

She put a finger in his lips that made him stop talking… Don't say it ok… Now rest.
