Oh wow! I am so sorry to those of you who read the chapter 3 I posted earlier! I updated the wrong document and it messed everything up. I am soooo sorry. This is the real version of chapter 3! Once again, I'm sorry to all who read the one from earlier!

I would like to thank everyone who reviewed on the last chapter! I am absolutely thrilled that this story is doing so well. I am enjoying writing it and am glad you guy's are enjoying reading it.

Now it's time to find out what Booth is going to decide to do. Enjoy!

Brennan awoke the next day to the sound of birds chirping and the sun shining in one of the many guest bedrooms at the Hodgin's Estate. She looked at the clock as it read 9:27. She yawned and checked her phone for any missed calls or text messages, particularly Booth's. But, not to her surprise, his name was nowhere to be seen. She sighed and as she closed her phone as the date appeared, sending a chill through her body.

May 20th, 2011. It had been exactly one year today that Brennan had gone off to Indonesia, leaving her friend and partner behind. She remembered the words they spoke that day as they held hands.

"Sorry, I couldn't get a pass, I had to sneak off the base to come to say goodbye. Listen Bones, you got to be really careful in that Indonesian jungle." He said with concern evident in his voice.

"Booth in a week you're going to a war zone, please don't be a hero."

Booth nodded his head silently and swallowed the lump that was forming in his throat.

"Please just...don't be you." She pleaded with him.

Booth extended his hand; she looked down at it and slipped her hand in his.

"One year from, today, we meet at the reflecting pool on the mall, right by the..."

"...Coffee cart... I know. One year from today." She finished for him, sadly.

He squeezed her hand tightly, as if not wanting to let go. He turned around and walked away, as did she, but not without looking back and getting one last glimpse of each other, before they departed on their one year separation.

She could still feel his touch, the strength he put into squeezing her hand. She remembered the urge she had to reach up and kiss him and to never let go. She could now feel his mouth on hers from the time they kissed outside the Hoover. His breath was warm and tasted like spearmint from the mints he chewed all day. His tongue glided over hers and they danced swiftly until….

Brennan was brought out of her train of thought by a knock on the door.

"Bren, it's Angela. You awake yet?" Angela called from outside her room.

"Yes Angela. Come in."

Brennan heard the knob turn and Angela was in seconds later.

"How did you sleep sweetie?"

"Actually, rather well, for once. I woke up only once and that was to get a drink of water."

"That's good. So have you decided what you're going to do yet?"

Brennan's mind wandered back to the conversation they had late last night.

"Tomorrow would've been the day Booth and I met up again if we wouldn't have been called home early."

"Oh that's right. Were you two going to do anything special?"

"We were going to meet up at the coffee cart by the reflecting pool on the mall."

"You know what would be romantic? If you went there tomorrow anyway."

"Angela, I doubt he even remembers that we were supposed to meet up, and besides, he wouldn't do so anyway because he has Hannah now."

"But if he cares about you, and what you guy's promised each other is important to him, he will. Just go sweetie, see what happens. Take a chance."

"I'll think about it Ange, but I don't think it's going to happen."

"Yeah, I have. I think I'm going to go. After talking with you last night, I came back here and laid down, reminiscing on the moments Booth and I have shared over the years. I only concluded that…I made a promise to him. Even though it's not how it was supposed to be, we still made a promise. So I'm going to hold up my end of the bargain, and go to that coffee cart, and see if he holds up his end as well. I will wait for him to show, but if he doesn't, I will know how he feels and where we stand."

Angela enveloped Brennan into a hug. "Thank you so much sweetie. I can guarantee he will show up. Trust me."

Booth awoke the next day to the sound of birds chirping and the sun shining, but something was different. He patted the space next to him, and after 5 months, no one was there. Suddenly, all the memories of the night before came flooding back to him.

"You're in love with Dr. Brennan."

"She is hurting, Seeley."

"Did you tell her you loved her?"

"Seems to me you didn't fight hard enough."

"She said she loves you and made a huge mistake."

"Don't mess this up Seeley."

He couldn't believe it. He had finally found out that Temperance Brennan, the woman he has been in love with for 7 years, loved him back. He just wished it wouldn't have hurt Hannah though. She was truly an amazing woman. Smart, beautiful, funny, strong willed, independent. Most people in their right mind wouldn't let a woman like her get away. But he realized that by letting her go, a completely different door was opening up for him. A door that he had wanted to open for so many years. A door that held happiness and eternal love. A door that he was soon to walk into.

He looked at his phone, noticing the date. May 20th, 2011.

"Hmm, this date seems somehow important." he thought.

Then, it hit him like a freight train. One year ago today, they had stood in the airport together, holding hands, and said goodbye. He remembered the promise they made to each other, to meet up at the coffee cart beside the reflecting pool on the mall.

"Would she still go?" he asked himself. "Well, if she really cared about me the way she told Angela she did, she would." He found himself answering.

It was settled. Booth jumped out of bed, threw on a shirt, jeans, and shoes, and exited his bedroom. It was 11:34. He didn't know what time he was supposed to go, if she was already there, or if she even went at all. He took his chances though, grabbed his keys, and headed out the door to show the woman that he loved just how much he really did.

Will their plan's work out? I want to hear your thoughts, so please leave a review. Thanks :)
