Happy Bones Day everyone! Hope everyone is having a good day. I had my psych class yesterday and the entire time i wanted Sweets to be teaching the class instead of my professor. Dont get me wrong, my professor is awesome, but i would have LOVED it if i had one that looked like Sweets. But i digress.

I present to you Chapter Eleven! Yay!


Brennan didn't know where to go. Bryce was cheating on her. She didn't know what to do. She went to the only place where things made sense to her. She walked through the sliding doors of the lab and instantly felt at ease. Everything felt right, and she went to LIMBO to start working on the next person that needed to be identified. Brennan knew that she should sleep, but she didn't want to go home. Something horrible had just happened to her and she needed to do what she knew best.

It was eight the next morning when someone found Brennan sleeping on her couch. Hodgins went in to see if he needed to do anything with the LIMBO file he found on the platform, but walked in on a sleeping Brennan. He put the blanket that was thrown over her couch over her body and shut the door on the way out. "This our new victim?" Angela asked, walking up to Hodgins on the platform.

"No, I guess Dr. B was working on it last night cause he was here when I arrived this morning." Angela looked at him with a questioning look. "She slept here again." They both knew what that meant; Bryce had done something stupid.

"Is she still asleep?" Angela asked, she needed to know as much as she could in order to face the rage that was Temperance Brennan.

"As far as I know, yes. I went in there about an hour ago and put a blanket over her. She might be awake now." The bug man went back to his microscope as the artist went to Brennan's office to see if she was alright.

Walking knocking on the door, Angela opened it slightly to see her best friend sitting on the couch looking like she just woke up. "Hey sweetie, how are you?" Angela had no idea how much of a loaded question that was. "Jack told me you slept here last night." Brennan said nothing but looked at her wall with a blank stare on her face. "Bren, what happened last night?"

At least five minutes had passed, but Angela didn't push it anymore because she knew that Brennan would answer, and she finally did. "Bryce was in an accident last night. He was drunk and hit a pole." Angela was about to say something but Brennan continued, "Ange, please let me finish. Bryce was sent to the hospital. He's fine, but when I was in the room this woman walked in. Her name is Jennifer and she is Bryce's girlfriend." Angela knew Brennan was done and wrapped her friend into a hug. They weren't sure how long they sat there, but were broken out of it by the sound of Brennan's phone ringing.

Angela had a feeling Brennan didn't want to speak to anyone at the moment so she answered her phone, "Temperance Brennan's phone, Angela speaking."

"Angela? It's Booth. Where is Bones?"

"Hey Booth, she's at the lab."

"Is she ok?"

"Define 'OK'."

"She isn't hurt is she?"

"She isn't physically hurt, but you might want to hurry and come talk to her. She could use her best friend right now."

"Ange, you're her best friend."

"We both know that's not true. Bye handsome." Without an answer, Angela hung up the phone. When she turned to see how Brennan was holding up, she found her curled up and resting her head on the arm rest of the couch. It broke her heart to see her friend like this. She was going to hunt that son-of-a-bitch down and smack some sense into him. That is, if a certain FBI agent doesn't beat her to it. Ange stood up and said, "Booth will be here soon." She wasn't sure if Brennan heard her, but she left to flag Booth down and fill him in on what happened.

It wasn't long after Angela left Brennan's office that Booth came walking in to the lab. He was about to head towards his partner's office but was stopped by Angela. "Before you go in there you need to know things." Not waiting for Booth to say anything, she dragged him into her office. The artist began her rant, "I don't want you interrupting me." That being said, she told her everything that had happened since her arrival this morning. Booth's hands were at his sides and by the end of the story they were still at his sides, but in tight fists.

"That son-of-a-bitch! The next time I see him, I'm going to kill him." Booth was more than angry. He knew he needed to calm down before he talking to Brennan. Taking a deep breath he said, "Thanks Ange. You really are a good friend." Angela just smiled and Booth went off to see how Brennan was holding up.

Before anyone had a chance to go see Brennan they saw Bryce walk in to her office. "YOU CAN'T GO IN THERE!" Hodgins was doing his best to stop Bryce was going and seeing Brennan, but Bryce wasn't having any of it.

Brennan was sitting at her deck when her door busts open and her ex-boyfriend and the father of her children walk through the door. "We need to talk." Bryce shut the door and moved to stand in front of her desk.

"Ok." Bryce was surprised that Brennan didn't put up a fight about it. Bryce sat down and Brennan said, "I only want to know one thing, how long?"

"3 months." Bryce knew that it was better to be honest with her and hope she wouldn't do anything rash. They didn't get to talk about anything else because a furious FBI agent came bursting into the room.

"You better have a damn good reason for showing your face here." Booth didn't even look at Brennan; his main focus was on Bryce. "What the hell gives you the right to do that?"

"Angela told you?" Brennan asked Booth, who was still glaring at Bryce. He nodded his head without looking at her and Brennan sighed. "Booth, I appreciate your help, but this is between me and Bryce. I can handle myself Booth." Booth knew that what he was going to do to Bryce wouldn't compare to the rage of a hormonal pregnant woman, so he backed off. As soon as the door closed Brennan was all over Bryce like white on rice.

"3 months! We were dating for 4! Was I really that boring that you had to go to someone else to 'get some'? What if she was the one that got pregnant?" Brennan thought about this for a second. "She isn't pregnant is she?" Bryce shook his head and Brennan continued. "Give me one good reason why I should keep involved in their lives? Right now I can't think of any. You get drunk way too often, you drive after you leave the bar, and now I find out that you've been cheating on me?" Brennan didn't have anything else to say without sounding repetitive so she went and sat on the couch and rubbed her belly.

After what seemed like eternity, Bryce finally spoke up. "Temperance, you have the right to be angry with me, hell, I'm angry with me, but do you really have the right to stop me from seeing our kids?" Yes, he was going to play that card. "I never did anything to physically hurt you; so, I have just as much of a right as you do." Bryce was now standing beside the couch looking down at Brennan. He was going for broke. He knew that after the little stunt he pulled there wasn't a snowball's chance in hell he was getting partial custody of those kids.

"There is no way I am letting you get custody of these kids." Brennan said, standing up and facing Bryce. "I would like you to leave now." Bryce didn't move. "Get out of my office." Bryce wouldn't budge. "Do I need to call security?"

"Do it. I dare you." Bryce wasn't backing down. Little did he know that when Brennan said 'security' she wasn't talking about the wimpy Jeffersonian security, she was talking about her own security.

"Ok then, have it your way." Brennan went to the door and opened it. She smiled when she saw Booth standing on the other side. "Security, could you please escort Mr. Young out of my office and off the premises, please." Booth smiled his charm smile and walked right in.

"Mr. Young, if you would follow me please." Booth looked at Bryce with a stern face.

"He's not security." Bryce said, eyeing Booth.

"No, but he's FBI and he's my security. Deal with it." Bryce rolled his eyes as Booth grabbed him by the arm and manhandled him out of the office and to his car. Brennan sat down at her desk and tried to get back to the open LIMBO case she was working on. Booth came back in a few minutes later and sat down on her couch.

"Im sorry about Bryce, Bones." Booth looked at Brennan who was staring at her computer screen looking at nothing. "Bones, come 'ere." Brennan got up and went to sit next to Booth. When she was seated he put his arm around her and pulled her close. Brennan put her head into his chest and breathed deep and smelled something that was uniquely Booth. It put her at ease and she just sat there and let him hold her. "Do you want to talk about it?" Booth questioned, knowing she wouldn't respond right away. Booth felt her tense and so he started rubbing her back trying to relieve the tension that was there.

"He's had a girlfriend for the 3 of the months we were dating. He cheated on me Booth." Brennan spoke up tilting her head up a bit. "He was drunk and decided to drive home. I don't know if I can let someone like that father these kids." Brennan sighed deep and sunk further into Booth's embrace.

"Then don't." Booth looked down at Brennan whose eyes were closed and head resting on his chest. She looked like she was about to fall asleep and he damned Bryce for making her like this. "Bones," He nudged her, "I'm going to take you home. You need to sleep; it's not good for the twins if you don't sleep." Brennan groaned but got up so Booth could take her home.

When they got to Brennan's apartment Booth lead Brennan's sleepy self to her bedroom. Booth left the room so she could change into something comfortable. He poked his head in and found her on the bed rubbing her belly and talking. "I don't know what to do about your dad. He just blew his last chance to be part of this dysfunctional family. You wouldn't want someone like him around." She heard someone at the door and looked up to see Booth standing there. "Why is it I always catch you listening in to family conversations?" Booth just shrugged and walked in.

"It's good that you are talking to them." Booth said, walking over to her.

"Would you like to say 'hello'?" Brennan said, somewhat quietly. She looked up at Booth and he had this look of amazement on his face.

"Sure, if you don't mind. These kids are going to need all the help they can get dealing with you." Booth said jokingly, earning a slap on the arm. Booth just smiled and got down on his knees so he was eye level with Brennan's stomach. "Hey you guys. I'm Booth, your mom's partner at work. Consider me the cool uncle that will make sure your mom doesn't over do it with 'science talk'. She can be hard to understand, but give it time. Before you know it you'll be speaking squint like a pro. Your mom loves you very much, so don't give her too much of a hard time." Booth finished his little speech and looked at Brennan who was looking back at him with a smile on her face.

"Thanks Booth." Brennan then closed her eyes and went to sleep. Booth stayed there for a while just watching her sleep. She looked so peaceful, like nothing in the world mattered. Feeling his legs start to hurt he got up and walked toward the living room, making sure that Brennan was good before he closed the door. He sat down on her couch and just thought. Thought about Bryce and what a douche he was being, thought about Parker and his game coming up, about the fact that his rent was due in a couple days, about how he was almost out of milk and need to stop by the store, and finally he thought about the woman that was sleeping down the hall.

This woman had been clouding his thoughts lately. No matter what he was doing, Temperance Brennan always seemed to pop up. She had said once that she wanted to have a baby, but Booth never pictured it like this. Brennan would be raising these kids by herself, as of now, but Booth was going to do everything in his power to make sure that didn't happen. Those kids deserve a proper dad, and Parker keeps telling me how much he wants a little brother or sister. Booth was going to kill two birds with one stone. Mission Tell Bones How He Feels was a go.
