"Sweetie, the doctors think that it might be time to let Booth go." Angela said slowly and sympathetically.

"How can you say that Angela? After everything we've been through these past 7 years, how can you say that?" Brennan said so loud she was almost shouting.

"I'm just telling you what the doctors said. I believed that Booth could pull through this a couple days ago, but…it has been a week. Last time he was only out for 4 days. Maybe the severity of his condition is keeping him from waking up, and...it might be too late."

"But Angela, people can stay in a coma for years! I've seen a documentary before when a man woke up after being in a coma for 20 years! There is hope for him. I'm not letting him go."

"Sweetie, you know how much I love Booth. You know how badly I want him to pull through this so you guys can have your happy ending. But...I'm also thinking about reality here. I hate saying this, I honestly do but...it might be in Booth's best interest to, let him go."

"No! No!" Brennan yelled, as she started crying.

"Honey, if you really love him, let him go." someone said from behind her.

She turned around and saw her father, flowers in hand.

"Dad, what are you doing here?" she asked sobbing, wiping the tears from her eyes.

"I heard about Booth's condition, thought I might stop by and see how he was doing. But one week, sweetheart, that's a long time. Who knows how much damage has been done to his brain."

"Dad, shut up. I don't want to hear this. If you came here to tell me to kill my best friend, then leave. But if you want to talk to me, comfort me, and keep faith in him, then please, stay."

Max sighed, and patted Angela on the shoulder. "She's a tough one."

"You're telling me."

Max handed Brennan the flowers, as she put them on the counter.

"I think I'll, leave you two alone. Hodgins was bringing me some lunch." Angela said as she walked out of the room.

Brennan sat back down, as Max pulled up a chair beside her.

"Temperance." he whispered.

"Dad?" she asked.

"I know this is hard. Trust me, I do. But…"

"We are not talking about ending his life, okay? He's got a son, he's got a job, he's got dreams, he's got…"

"You. I know babe. But I'm just saying…."

"Do you know how devastated Parker will be if his father dies? And that I killed him? He would hate me forever."

"You're not killing him."

"It basically is. By telling the doctor to pull the plug, I'm ending his life. Which means, I'm killing him."

Max sighed in defeat. He understood that his daughter was a very strong opinionated woman, and there was no changing her mind.

"Okay, okay. Let's just talk about….your fondest memories of Booth."

Brennan took a deep breath and began. "Well there was….."

ooo

"Look, you really need to learn how to speak to human beings." Booth said.

"I speak six languages, two of which you've never even heard of!" she retorted.

"You're a cold fish."

"You're a superstitious moron."

"Get a soul."

"Get a brain."

#

"I've never gotten a B and I never will." Brennan told Booth.

"That's my girl." Booth whispered.

#

"Here we are, all of us, basically alone, separate creatures, just circling each other, all searching for that slightest hint of a real connection. Some look in the wrong places, some just give up hope because in their mind they're thinking "Oh there's nobody out there for me." But all of us, we keep trying over and over again. Why? Because every once in a while...every once in a while, two people meet and there's that spark. And yes, Bones, he's handsome and she's beautiful and maybe that's all they see at first, but making love...making love...that's when two people become one."

"It is scientifically impossible for two objects to occupy the same space."

"Yeah, but what's important is we try. And when we do it right, we get close."

"To what? Breaking the laws of physics?"

"Yeah, Bones. A miracle."

#

"All right, what I want you to do is take off your glasses, shake out your hair and say 'Mr. Booth, do you know what the penalty is for an overdue book?'"

#

"What did you want to tell me?"

"That I love you... In a professional, 'atta girl' kind of way."

"'Atta girl' kind of way? Right back at'cha Booth. I love you too. 'Atta Boy.'"

#

"You know, Bones. I'm glad that we don't have any secrets between each other.

"Yeah. I like that."

"I mean, if we have something on our mind we just share it."

"Sure. Even with all the financial and intellectual contradictions I still feel close to you."

"Right. Because, you know, none of that matters anyway.

"Well, sometimes looking at it through your eyes, I believe that."

#

"Hey, you're wearing your belt buckle again. Cocky."

"Yeah. Ever since the whole coma thing. I just kept staring at it, thinking to myself "Why would I wear something like this?"

"Because you love it. You always have."

"Yeah, that's what I landed on."

"I like it. It's - Boothy."

#

"So it only took 3000 years for someone to hear her. You know, I'll tell you what, if I was Egypt I would throw you a party too."

"I have to speak. I hate these things."

"What're you talking about Bones? You're great at these things. Listen, you changed history! How many people can say that?"

"You can! Every arrest you make changes history. You make the world safer.

"With your help. So, uh, Andrew thought you were going to take him to this thing. That's what he told me."

"I was, yes, but you and I, this was our case and I guess what goes on between us, that should just be ours. Isn't that what you said?"

"Yeah."

#

"Listen Bones, I would do anything for you. I would die for you. I would kill for you. But I am not getting between two best friends."

#

"When Booth and I first met, I didn't believe that such a thing as love existed. I maintained that it was simply brain chemistry, but perhaps Booth is correct. Perhaps love comes first and then creates the reaction. I have no tangible proof, but I'm willing to accept Booth's premise."

#

"When you talk to older couples who, you know, have been in love for 30 or 40 or 50 years, alright, it's always the guy who says, "I knew." I knew. Right from the beginning... I'm that guy, Bones. I'm that guy. I know."

#

"Is it serious between you?"

"Serious as a heart attack."

"Heart attacks are very serious."

"Yes, they are. Very serious."

ooo

By the time brennan was finished telling her father her favorite moments and experiences with Booth, she was crying once again.

Max placed his hand on her lap and said "Tempe, let's go to the cafeteria. Get something to eat. Okay?"

Brennan nodded. She stood up as Max put his arm around her protectively and led her out the door.

Moments later, a sound came from Booth's room which no one was there to hear or see.

"Bones."

Yayyyy! Booth's awake! Now I better be getting some reviews for this. Want to see what he remembers? What he doesnt? Review to find out :)
