AN: Hi! So I had this idea because I was disappointed in the direction the show has been going in lately. So I found myself thinking what if it was all a dream... Tell me what you think!

Disclaimer: I do not own Bones; I only wish I do :)

"Booth I do not need a babysitter!"

"Bones you just got out of a coma!"

"The doctor wanted you to stay at the hospital longer but no, so now I'm staying here with you and that's final!"

Brennan stood glowering defiantly at Booth. This was a look that would have made any intern run for the hills, but Booth firmly stood his ground.

"Besides, you're a doctor, you should know better." He told her.

She considered arguing, but thought better of it after scrutinizing Booth; he seemed truly concerned about her. Anyway, she was exhausted, the doctor's kept her for two extra weeks to monitor her, and she had been going through tests all day.

She sighed, "I'll make up the guest room."

"Don't worry about it; I'll take the couch," he told her.

"Blankets are in the hall closet if you change your mind," she told him submissively.

She turned to leave.

"Bones…I…it's just…I'm glad you're okay," he smiled at her.

"Thank you Booth," Brennan returned a soft smile of her own.

She turned once again to go take her shower.

"Uh, Bones?"

"Yes?"

"Never mind."

"Goodnight, Booth."

Once Brennan was in the bathroom she turned the hot water all of the way on, enjoying the steam that filled up the room and relaxed her muscles. She undressed slowly and then pulled back the curtain to enter the shower.

"Ouch!" she yelped as the water scalded her skin.

She jumped back and tripped, falling out of the tub and tearing the curtain down with her.

Booth had heard Brennan's yell followed by a crash. He didn't hesitate; he jumped up and ran towards the bathroom, breaking in the locked door.

Brennan looked up startled; she was currently lying on the bathroom floor…stark naked…and wet, luckily she was still tangled in the shower curtain.

"Booth!" "What are you doing in here?"

"I heard you scream and then a crash, are you alright?" Booth said. He blushed as the adrenaline wore off and he noticed her current unclothed state; this made him turn around quickly, his hand flying up to cover his eyes.

"Sorry," he mumbled mortified.

Brennan couldn't help but laugh at his reaction. She wrapped a towel tightly around her body and she tapped his shoulder.

"Booth, you can turn around now," Brennan said amused.

Booth turned around slowly and peeked through his hands.

"Bones are you okay?" "What happened?"

"Booth, I'm fine." "The water was hot; I slipped."

"Just be careful okay; you scared me."

Booth seemed truly shaken up. Brennan took pity on him.

"I'm fine," she said and stood on her tip toes to kiss his cheek lightly.

Booth's heart started beating wildly. It would have been so easy to pull her into his arms. He had to get out of there.

"Sorry about the door," he said over his shoulder as he exited the restroom.

Brennan's palms felt sweaty and her heart beat a little faster; she finished her shower in a daze.

Brennan was almost asleep when she heard her door creak open.

"Sorry, I'm supposed to check on you every couple of hours," Booth said. "Doctor's orders.

"I'm okay Booth."

"Okay, Goodnight Bones."

"Goodnight Booth."

By the third time Booth came in to check on her Brennan was fed up.

"Booth" Brennan groaned.

"What's wrong?" "Are you okay?" asked Booth running to the side of the bed.

"Booth, lay down" she told him.

"Wha..?" "Here… with you?" he asked.

"Well it appears that is the only way I'll be getting any sleep tonight," Brennan said sarcastically.

Booth looked hesitant.

"Booth!"

"Right...um…okay," he s

aid.

Booth lay on the bed gingerly. Although he felt somewhat uneasy being in Brennan's bed, he had to admit he could rest a lot easier with her so close; her steady breathing reassured him she was alright. The bed was also much comfier than the couch; Booth found himself drifting off quickly.

Brennan fell asleep immediately because even though she would never admit it, Booth's presence comforted her. She felt the heat radiating off of his body and snuggled closer.

Brennan rolled over and was pleasantly surprised to find herself in Booth's arms. She was confused for a minute at first. The coma dream seemed to blend together and she found herself often confused about who Booth was to her. Was he her partner, her best friend, her husband, the guy she loved who was in love with someone else? She could hardly remember a time before the dream. It had seemed like the dream was her life. So many things that she would have sworn were real could not have possibly happened before the coma. She wrote herself a mental note to ask Booth to clear up some things that she wasn't positive had actually occurred.

Booth looked around. For a minute he had no idea where he was, but then he turned and saw Brennan enveloped in his arms. He could easily get used to this. Booth wondered if Brennan dreamed everything he read to her from her book. There were some pretty intense Kathy/Andy moments in there. He would have to ask her over breakfast at the diner this morning.

Brennan rolled over, which landed her about an inch away from Booth's face. Their breathing hitched simultaneously.

"Hi," Brennan breathed.
