Well that was depressing I asked for 4 more reviews and did I get 4? no. did I get 3? No. did I get 2? No. I got one. Come on people I'm getting close to 150 which means another spoiler but if no one reviews I have to tell myself the spoilers and I already know what's going to happen. Well here's chapter 13 and ironically I need 13 more reviews for a new chapter and a spoiler for my 150th reviewer.
For those who don't remember Booth's dad was found in critical condition at the end of chapter 12.
Disclaimer: sigh after all this time u people still think I own bones? When will u learn?
Just then the doorbell rang and they heard frantic knocking. Tempe ran to get it knowing full well who it was. Anna Booth ran into the house and picked up her small son and began to dance around. Tempe went to stand next to her big brother who pulled her up on to his back and carried her piggy back until she felt her fathers arms pull her up against his chest. She was glad it wasn't her father missing. The Brennan family looked at the remnants of the Booth family and thought about how lucky they were to all be safe.
Soon after that Booth went to visit his father in the hospital. He was kind of scared because hospitals made him nervous ever since pre-K when he had his tonsils out.
He saw his father laying there with plastic tubes and wires coming off his arms and chest and an oxygen mask covering his mouth and nose. He looked asleep but as Booth crept closer he opened his eyes. He looked toward the doorway where Booth was standing holding his mothers hand. Smiling then grimacing in pain he waved with his free hand at Booth to come in.
His mom gave him a little push and he walked in.
"Hey" he said
"Hey" his dad replied. Then he held out his arms. Booth walked up to the bed and crawled into his fathers arms. He smiled and for a few minutes they sat together silently each one thankful that the other was alright. He looked down and saw that both of his dad's legs were wrapped in casts up to the knee and his rib-cage was bandaged.
Booth started to laugh when he saw what was written on the casts on his legs. Every man and woman in his unit had signed them with funny get well soon messages. His dad held out a black sharpie and Booth found a spot near his left knee and wrote in his first grade handwriting 'I love you daddy- Seeley'. His dad tied to read it but had to twist around at a funny angle that hurt his four broken ribs.
"So son, how has life been for the past 10 months?"
"Oh school is ok. I made a lot of new friends." He said quietly. "And I think I like my best friend."
"Well," his father said confused "I would hope you like them."
"No" Booth replied "Like, like."
"Oh like, like. What's her name?"
"Tempe Brennan."
"So you like, like your best friend." He thought for a minute "Why don't you invite all your friends here for a little party and you can introduce me."
Booth got excited. "Ok we can have a welcome home party." He talked to his dad for about half an hour before his mom reminded him he had homework waiting at home. He promised his dad he would be back tomorrow and tell his friends about the party.
I know this was a short chapter but it's late and I'm tired. I'll update again soon to make it up to all of my loyal fans. Come on 13 reviews. The most I've ever gotten in one chapter was 12. Anyone up for breaking a record? R/R
