Thanks for all of the reviews. I like all of them.
I still don't own Bones.
Oooooooooooooooooo
The next day, Brennan contacted Padme and told her that Jared's murderer had been identified as Joseph Booth, Jared and Seeley's father. Brennan also told her about the attack on Booth and the fact that Joseph Booth was now dead. Padme had cried for Jared and her brother-in-law, Seeley. After a few minutes, Padme calmed down and asked Brennan when Jared would be buried. Brennan told her that the Jeffersonian would hold Jared's body until the family was ready to have the funeral. Brennan assured Padme that she could stay in Seattle for as long as she needed to and that the funeral would take place when she got back to D.C. Brennan didn't tell Padme that Jared's body was not suitable for viewing. Booth thought it would be better if they just told Padme that waiting so long for the funeral made it impossible to have an open casket funeral. Why upset Padme any further. It was bad enough that her husband was dead. Booth didn't think it was necessary to tell her that Jared had been chopped up. Hell, it would have been nice, if no one had told him that fact. Brennan took Booth's complaint for what it was worth. He was cranky because his arm and head hurt.
Frowning, Booth said, "I'm not cranky. I was just making an observation that's all. It isn't always necessary to tell a loved one all of the gory details about the death of their loved one."
Seeing that Brennan was frowning, Booth took Brennan's hand in his and said, "Look Bones, laying in this bed all day makes me edgy. I don't see why I can't at least lay on the couch in the living room. The TV in there is bigger and it's not as isolated as this room."
Shaking her head, Brennan said, "You're still dizzy every time you stand up. I think you should wait for at least two more days before you consider the couch as an option."
Using his charm smile, Booth said, "Come on Bones. I'm not as dizzy as I was a few days ago. I hate lying in here. I want to lay on the couch. It'll be alright. I'm fine."
Pursing her lips, Brennan said, "You know, using your charm smile on me isn't going to change my mind. Cam thinks you should have stayed in the hospital for a few days before you came home. I promised her that I would make sure you stayed in the hospital bed until you weren't dizzy any more. You don't want me to break my promise do you? Cam would consider that very untrustworthy. As it is, she wants me to make an appointment with a neurologist for you. She wants to make sure that your alright. She says she's out of practice when it comes to dealing with living patients."
Shaking his head, Booth said, "No, I don't want you to break your promise with Cam and I guess you can make the appointment. Cam is a damn good doctor though. I wish she wouldn't downgrade herself like that." Letting go of Brennan's hand, Booth took the straw out of his water glass and slid the end into the cast on his left arm and scratched his wrist."
Frowning, Brennan said, "You know, that's unsanitary. You shouldn't put things into your cast to scratch your skin. You run the risk of getting an infection when you do that."
Pulling the straw out, Booth said, "It itches. I hate casts." Hearing himself whine, Booth looked at Brennan and said, "Look, I'm sorry Bones. I guess I am cranky. I hate being sick. I didn't mean to take it out on you either." Smiling at Brennan, Booth said, "I appreciate everything you and Pops have done for me. I'll just lay here and behave."
"Thank you Booth. If you wait for at least two more days, I'm sure that Cam will agree that it will be ok for you to lay on the couch in the living room."
Walking into the room, Hank looked at Brennan and then Booth. "Seeley, you always were a terrible patient. I remember that time you got chicken pox and you had to stay in your bedroom and away from everyone else for a week. You'd have thought you'd been banished to the moon or something. Quit giving Temperance so much trouble. "
Shaking her head, Brennan said, "Booth isn't a terrible patient, Hank. He just feels isolated."
Turning to Booth, Brennan said, "Would you like someone to visit you? I could get Dad to come over."
Shaking his head, Booth said, "I'm not that desperate for company, Bones. I'll just lay here and watch TV. When Cam comes by this evening, I'll see what she says about me moving into the living room. And, you don't have to invite your Dad to come over. You and I both know he's going to be here tonight. Your Dad has been here every evening since he got back from Louisiana."
"He's just concerned about you, Booth. You know he likes you."
"Yeah, I guess he does. Either that or he's up to something and he needs an alibi," Booth said, with a puzzled look on his face. "You never know with Max."
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Someone is a little cranky. Reviews would be nice. Thanks.
