Chapter 10

Bones

POV Booth

Once again we are back in the same room. Everything that I have witnessed and have heard is helping me reach my now exhausted state. As I look around there are still two doors left. I don't think I can take anymore of this. Being here and seeing all my friends in pain is just as bad as when I was captured and tortured when I was overseas. Clearing his throat Pops had gained my attention. I was now turned to face him. I'm the one that can read people, but right now I can't tell what Pops is thinking. He has a slight smile on his face, but behind that smile is something I can't read. I wonder if you can die after you are already in heaven. I have a feeling that these last two doors will be the death of me. I place my hand on the door. Sighing I walk right through the door into the wind that is so very violent giving me a warning that something very wrong is going to happen. When everything became clear I knew exactly where we were. I'm standing in what I call my second home. I'm in Bone's living room. It is quiet almost too quiet. Pops is settling himself on the couch that Bones and I always sit on. I'm walking towards the hallway and I'm surprised that Pops has not stopped me yet.

I'm continuing with my mission to find the love of my life, my Bones. Turning the corner I nearly run right into her. I scoot out of the way before I hit her, even though it wouldn't matter. No one knows I'm here. She looks so beautiful. The same as I remember when she left the funeral. There is one huge difference that I can't believe I didn't notice right away. It has taken my breath away, but it makes her look stunning. She is pregnant. She looks like she can have her child any second. Slowly she is walking in front of the fireplace. She is looking at the mantle above lined with pictures. Walking from left to right she is gazing at all the pictures. Angela and Bones, Bones and Zach, Hodgins and Angela, the whole squint squad, Parker, Parker and me, but right in the center was a larger picture frame. It is holding two pictures. She is now stopped in front of it. With her left hand she runs her delicate fingers over the boarder of the frame.

I'm watching her very closely and I notice something that has just knocked me to my knees. The tears that I'm trying to hold in are freely falling. I've given up on stopping them. Bones is wearing a wedding band. She is married. She should be married to me not someone else! This should be my child that she is carrying. Through my tears I can tell she is still looking at the frame. The bottom picture was of Parker, Bones, and me. We are at the park. I remember that day as if it was yesterday.

It was my weekend with Parker. I promised him we would go to the park. We woke up on Saturday morning. Well it was more Parker waking up before me then coming to jump on my bed to wake me up. He jumped and landed right on top of me yelling…

"Daddy! Daddy! Wake up! You said that we could go to the park today. Oh daddy can you see if Dr. Bones can come? Please! Please! Please!"

"Parker, Bones is supposed to be spending the day with Angela."

"She can come too! Please call her daddy."

"Okay, why don't you change your clothes? I'll call her then start to make breakfast."

"Yes! Thank you daddy you're the best."

I made my way to the kitchen and called Bones house phone hoping that she would answer, but also hoping that she didn't at the same time.

"Hello Temperance Brennan's household this is Angela."

"Ange, why are you answering Bone's phone?"

"Well hello to you too studly."

"Ange…"

"I got to the phone before she did and I bet her that it would be you calling."

"How would you know something like that? I always call her on her cell phone."

"I have a Booth and Brennan radar in my head and it started to go off."

In the background I could hear Bones.

"Angela that is impossible."

"Can I please talk to Bones Angela?"

"Fine, but I'm putting it on speaker so I can hear everything you say."

"Hello Booth."

"Bones! Having a good start to your day?"

"It is just fine. Is there something I can do for you?"

"Yeah, I know that you and Ange wanted to spend the day together, but I promised Parker I would take him to the park and he wanted me to ask you if you could come. He said that Angela is welcome to come along as well."

"Ahhh Booth I..."

"Don't worry Booth we will be there what time?" Angela

"Meet there in an hour. Thanks Ange!"

"No problem Booth, but I get to bring my camera!"

"That's fine. See you guys in a little while. Bye Bones."

"Bye Booth."

Sometime during the conversation Parker had come into the kitchen and started to eat breakfast. His eyes lit up when I told him they would both be there. True to their word Angela and Bones walked over to the blanket we had set up an hour later. Angela walked around and took pictures of fall colored leaves while Parker and I convinced Bones to play tag with us. While we were playing tag Angela had come over to start taking pictures of us. Parker had been "It" at the time and was chasing me from the right side of the play equipment over the bridge to the left. Bones was on the left side of the bridge and came over to the bridge to lock me in so Parker could tag me. I turned my back to face Bones so I could see how close Parker was to tagging me. Bone wrapped her arms around my waist from behind me. Parker reached his hand out to tag me with a smile from ear to ear. Right as he tagged me Angela snapped the picture.

That picture is in the bottom of the frame. Following her eyes up to the next picture in the frame I saw that it was of her and me. It was from that same day at the park.

After we finally got tired of playing tag we all went over to sit on our blanket. We bought lunch and ate it there. Angela then offered to take a walk around with Parker to show him some things and take pictures of his own. That left just Bones and me to relax by ourselves for a little while. She laid down on her back and I copied her, but I turned onto my stomach. We talked about many random things like always, We had totally lost track of time.

"Bones?"

"Yeah Booth."

"Thank you for coming to the park. It looks like Parker is having more fun than he ever could with just me here."

"It was fun Booth. I'm really glad Angela decided we could do our "girls day" another time."

I rolled over onto my side facing Bones with my head propped up on my hand with my elbow on the ground. I gave her the famous Booth charm smile. She shook her head and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

I rolled her over onto her side and scooted closer. She looked down, but I lifted her chin so she would look at me. We both smiled while I started to caress her cheek. That's when out of nowhere the loud click of a camera went off. Bones turned red when she saw Parker and Angela standing in front of us. Parker had the camera in his hands.

"I Got You!" Parker laughed.

That is the picture on top. I can't help, but smile remembering one of the best days of my life. Bones all the sudden grabs the mantle out of nowhere and her hand flies to her outstretched stomach. Running over to her side I know what is happening. Wrapping my arms around her I whisper into her ear that everything is going to be alright. Deep down I know that she can't feel my arms wrapped around her or hear my comforting words. She walks to the phone picks it up and is now talking.

"Angela, I need you to come get me. It's time."

Tears are rolling down her face. She is in pain and I can tell that she is scared. Where is her husband and why didn't she call him? In the blink of an eye I'm in a different place. A hospital. I'm awake yes finally! Screams of pain are now filling the room. I've heard these screams before and they haunt me in my dreams. Bones. Right in front of me is Bones on a hospital bed with Angela right by her side. Damn, I'm not awake am I. My stomach does a flip-flop. There is no husband in sight and Angela tells her to push. I'm losing control I'm now once again in a different room. It is nicer than the other one, but it is silent. The voice of Angela is now floating around the room and to my ears.

"They are beautiful sweetie. Have you finally picked out their names?"

Bones is holding one of the babies and Ange has the other one. I'm in awe Bones has twins. Walking closer I can see that they are just as beautiful as she is. There is a boy and girl. The baby boy has light brown/dark blonde hair with Bone's blue eyes. The girl has light brown hair with warm brown eyes. I can't help, but wish they are mine. A family with Bones is all I want.

"Yes, I have picked out their names. This here is David Joseph and Emily Christine. Their last names will be B…"

I can't hear the last names the wind is blowing so strong and loud. I need to know who she is married to. If it is Sully I'm going to punch his lights out. I'm defeated because I know I can't, but just like Bones always says we shouldn't jump to conclusions. We end up back in the painfully bright white room. My knees have just given out and I'm lying on the ground. I'm crying like a little baby. I have lost my Bones she has someone else in her life and gave birth to his children.

"Shrimp, get up. Did you listen closely to the names of her children?"

"Yes, Emily Christine and David Joseph… Joseph that's my middle name."

"Both middle names are names that mean so much to her. She would always have a piece of you with her. More than you actually know."

"What is with the last door?"

"You have to do that one on your own. My time with you is up unless you decide to stay here. Goodbye Shrimp."

I'm watching him turn and walk away. I keep watching until I can't see him anymore.

POV Brennan

I spend all the time that I have here with Booth. Even if he is in a coma I feel our children need to be around their father. These days I sit next to Booth and write books. Today I decide to write something different. I'm going to write a short story about the dream I had the other night. It was about our lives together and into the future. To make it better not everything has really happened. In my stories there has to be some sort of plot line so it only kind of describes things that have happened between us. I need to relive some our great memories together and some of the things that I have dreamed about since we have met.

Pops Is Now Gone And Booth Has To Figure Out All On His Own What This Last Door Means And What It Leads To. Booth Is Crushed Because Brennan Is Wearing A Wedding Band. What Booth Sees Behind The Next Door? Will It Keep Everyone Guessing On What His Choice Is Going To Be? I Believe So. The "Story" That Brennan Is Going To Write Comes From A B&B Video/Slideshow That I Have Made. The Video Has Pictures From The Show Of The Two Of Them With A "Caption" Written About It. The Captions Have A Story Line When They Are Put All Together. (Brennan Will Read Her Story Out Loud In The Chapter Named "Flashback".)

The Video Is Mainly The POV Of Brennan Talking About Her Life With Booth Before And After He Was Taken Away From Her. It's As Though She Is Talking To Him. At The End Of The Video It Switches To A Few Seconds Of Booth's POV. When I Get The Video Done I'll Post The Link.
