Chapter 2: Bones
A/N: I really shouldn't be posting the second chapter so soon but the first one was like UBER SHORT. So read, enjoy, and review (:
Disclaimer: The only bones I own are the 206 in my body that are helping me write this story. (:
As Booth ran through the hospital doors he approached the receptionist at the front desk.
"Excuse me, what room is Bones in?" he slipped.
"Uh, Bones?" the receptionist asked with a confused expression on her face.
"Um, sorry. Dr. Temperance Brennan." he corrected himself.
The receptionist nodded. "Hold on a sec." she began typing on the computer. "Ah. Temperance Brennan...room two-forty-seven."
"Thank you." Booth said.
"You her husband?" she asked.
The question caught Booth off guard. "I...guess you could say that." he replied, then sped off to Bones' room.
244...245...246...would he ever get there? Then he saw it. Room 247. He took a deep breath and headed in, prepared for the worst. The sight of Bones' unmoving body made his heart break. The only thing that even told him she was alive was the steady beeping of the heart monitor and the rise and fall of her chest.
He saw a chair in the corner of the room so he grabbed it, set it at Bones' bedside, and sat down. He took her hand. Even though she looked broken and unmoving, she was the most beautiful woman in the world to Booth. She must have felt him hold her hand because her eyes fluttered open and brown met blue.
"Booth." she said and gave a weak smile.
"Hey there, Bones." he said, gently squeezing her hand. She sighed.
"Did I break anything?" she asked, not really knowing what to say.
"Yeah, just your leg though and a few minor cuts and bruises." he replied, repeating what the doctor had told him.
"Well, I guess it could be a lot worse." she said.
"Yeah, I thought I might have lost you, Bones." Booth said.
Bones smiled at his concern. "You can't get rid of me that easily." she said.
Booth didn't hear her though, he was too busy rambling. "And if I would have lost you, I never would have gotten to tell you that I..." his voice trailed off.
"You...what?" Bones asked.
"Uhm...nothing." Booth said, chickening out
"Come on, you were gonna say something, Booth." she persisted.
"No,no I-"
"Booth!" she insisted.
Booth gave in. "Okay, fine. I was just gonna say that if I lost you I would never get the chance to tell you I-"
"Oh my god! Are you okay?" Angela burst into the room at that second.
I was until you got here. Bones thought.
Angela saw Booth and Bones holding hands. "Um, am I interrupting something here?" she asked with a huge smile on her face.
Booth said "No." at the same time Bones said "Yes."
Angela's smile just grew wider. "Yeah, that's not suspicious at all." she said sarcastically.
"I don't know what that means." Bones said.
Angela laughed. "Yep, she's fine. Bet ya gave Booth here a heart attack." Angela said.
Booth smiled. "You have no idea." he said.
"So, when do I get out of here?" Bones asked, changing the subject.
"Oh, I talked to the doctor. He said you can leave tomorrow but you have to be on crutches because of your broken leg." Angela said.
Bones groaned. "I don't need crutches! I am perfectly capable of walking by myself."
"Um, no you're not, Sweetie your leg is broken." Angela said.
"No, I'll prove it to you." Bones insisted.
she got up and tried to walk, but only managed to hop around on her right leg.
"Ha, see? Told you!" Bones said triumphantly.
"You can't just go hopping around like an idiot until your leg heals." Booth said.
"And why not?" Bones asked.
"Sweetie, you look like a bunny on crack." Angela said. Booth chuckled.
"I don't know what that means." Bones said.
Angela rolled her eyes. "It means you look silly and you need crutches." she said.
Bones groaned, but finally gave in. "Fine. but only for a couple of weeks."
"That's all it'll take." Angela said.
Booth laughed out of nowhere. "What?" Bones asked.
"I just find it funny that even in the condition you're in, you still have that 'Miss Independent' attitude." he said.
Angela giggled. "He's got a point."
The doctor came in. "Miss Brennan, what in the world are you doing out of your bed?"
"Oh I was just...uh...nevermind." Bones said, hopping back to the bed.
"Agent Booth, Miss Montenegro, you need to leave now. You may come back in the morning." the doctor said.
They both nodded and left Bones' room.
Bones sighed to herself What would I do without my best friend and my knight in shining armour? she thought.
A/N: Please review! Next chapter coming soon! (:
