Chapter 16

Don't Ever Leave

POV Brennan

Brennan Is Now 8 Months Pregnant

I really don't like the fact that I'm not working. Booth finally gets to go back right as I have to stop. Who really cares that I'm having twins in….

Oh no. No. No. No. Booth…. He is going to be so mad. I don't believe that I ever told him that we are having twins. I can't control the tears that are now falling from my eyes. Booth and I aren't supposed to keep secrets from each other. He is going to leave me. The hours fly by as I sit trying to think of a way to tell Booth without him leaving.

POV Booth

It's my first day back at work. I should be excited. I'm a Special Agent working with the Jeffersonian Institute. I work with the best team out there and I'm proud to call them my friends and family. Today would be a lot better is I had a case to work with my partner and, beautiful girlfriend Dr. Temperance Brennan who is carrying my child. I never thought this would ever come true. Bones and I together, starting a family of our own. I get off work soon and when I get home I plan to spend the night with Bones in my arms. My phone is now ringing in my pocket.

"Booth"

"Agent Booth this is Cullen. There is a special urgent meeting in the conference room NOW and you need to be there."

"Yes Sir. I Just need to call Bones and…."

"Booth I said NOW! You can call her after."

"Yes Sir I'm on my way."

Without another word I'm hustling down the hallways of the Hoover building to the conference room. I hope Bones doesn't get to upset or worried because I didn't call her to tell her that I have to stay late.

POV Brennan

Every time I look back at the clock hours have gone by. Booth was supposed to be home at seven. The last time I checked the time it was eight. I turn my head to look again. It's nine thirty. My breathing is starting to become uneven. Where is Booth? He should be home by now. What if he got into another car accident? I need to call him. My hands are shaking and I have tears in my eyes as I hit number one on my speed dial.

Ring… Come on Booth… Ring…. Please pick up… Ring….It never takes this long for him to answer… Ring… This can't be happening… You've reached Special Agent Seeley Booth. I am unable to answer my phone right now. Leave me a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible…. BEEP….. "Booth where are you? Please call me back I….I….I need to know that….that you're okay."

Ten tries later it is now ten and I still haven't had any contact with him. My tears are once again flowing down my face. My back is killing me because I can't stop pacing. I need to sit I'm becoming light headed and dizzy. I'm easing myself onto the couch. Picking up the phone again I press number two on my speed dial and wait.

POV Angela

I feel like Brennan. I'm at the Jeffersonian way past the time I should be working on a facial reconstruction. This is not even a murder or a recent case for that matter it is a limbo case. I need to go home it's quarter to eleven. I can hear my phone going off. It's got to be Jack wondering where in the world I am. Picking up my phone I check the caller ID. It reads Brennan. What is Brennan doing calling me so late? She doesn't even know that I'm working on this face. What does she need from me that Booth can't help her with?

"Hello"

"Ange."

I'm one of Brennan's best friends so I can tell when something is not right. She is crying and I can't help the feeling that I'm going to be kicking one Special FBI Agents ass very soon.

"Sweetie, what is wrong?"

"I…. I….. Booth…."

"Brennan calm down okay. Take a few deep breaths then start over."

"Ange, Booth…. Booth never came home from work. He is not answering his phone. What if he crashed and no one has noticed. What if he…"

"Sweetie."

Brennan has now burst into tears. She is going to hurt the babies if she doesn't settle down.

"Brennan let me make a few phone calls to see if I can find him. You just need to calm down for me though."

"Please bring him home."

Just like that I hear the phone crash to the floor. I'm still connected and I can still hear her crying so at least I know she is okay…..kinda. Using my office phone I dial Booth's cell phone number. I'm also rewarded with the four rings and his answering message. Damn it Booth. I just had an idea pop into my head. Getting up I jog over to Brennan's office open it and start my search.

*Flash Over To Brennan's House*

Brennan's phone lies forgotten on the floor in the bedroom still connected to Angela. The smell of Booth in their bedroom has driven Brennan into hysterics. She is now sitting against the bathtubs outside wall crying while trying to calm her panting breathing.

*Flash Over To Hoover Building*

Booth, Charlie, Cullen, Hacker and other members of the FBI are just leaving the conference room. Booth storms into his office mad about how long the meeting was, that he didn't get a chance to call Bones to tell her where he was, and the fact that his night he wanted to spend with her was ruined. He is packing his things to go home. Charlie went to his desk to grab some files to head home when his desk phone rings.

POV Charlie

That was a long meeting and it was super boring. The only thing that kept me paying attention was the fact that my boss Agent Booth was super pissed throughout the whole thing. He wasn't paying attention so when he was asked a question I would kick him under the table. It's not every day you get to kick your boss. I've got a stack of files on my desk and I have a few that I'm looking for to take him to review. While looking my phone begins to ring.

"Hello, this is FBI Agent Charlie how may I…."

I got cut off by the female on the other end of the line.

"Charlie, it is Angela Montenegro from the Jeffersonian. We have met a few times."

"Yes, Ms. Montenegro what can I do for you?"

"Do you have any idea where Booth is?"

Yes, he is in his office. We just got out of a surprise meeting that Cullen practically dragged Booth to by his ear. Booth was very angry at the fact that he couldn't call Dr. Brennan. He is leaving his office right now would you like to talk to him?"

"Yes, this is urgent."

"Okay hold on one moment."

I hope he doesn't get mad at me.

"Agent Booth…."

"Not now Charlie."

"But Agent Booth this is very urgent."

"No Charlie. I need to get home."

Booth stepped into the elevator and I watched as the doors closed. Turning back to the phone I said

"I'm sorry…"

"It's okay Charlie I heard. Thank you very much for your help. I owe you one."

With that she hung up the phone.

POV Angela

This is typical Booth, not wanting to talk to anyone when he is pissed. He better answer his cell phone. Once again I find myself dialing Booth's number….Ring…Ring…..

…."Booth"

"Oh, thank God you answered."

"Ange, what's going on?"

"Brennan is freaking out since you're not home. She thinks you have crashed into a ditch and that no one is going to be able to find you."

"Oh God is she okay?"

"No, Booth she's not okay. Brennan is crying, her breathing is not normal, and she can barley talk to me on the phone. If you don't get your ass home soon she is going to hurt the…"

"The baby!"

"I suggest you use your lights and sirens to get over there, but be careful Booth."

"Thanks Ange I will."

POV Booth

I just cut the lights and sirens off because I have turned onto our street. My tires screech as I make a hard right turn into our driveway. I've started to wear my seat belt since the accident. I push the button to unbuckle and I'm now running up to our door. I turn the handle. It is locked. I just ran right into our very solid front door. Of all the days she decides to listen to me about locking the door today is the day. Whipping out my key I jam it into the lock and open the door. Dropping my jacket on the floor I begin my search.

"Bones!"

"Bones where are you?"

Searching in the living room and kitchen she is not there.

"BONES!"

I hear her crying and am now taking off towards our bedroom. The sound of her cries and gasping breath is becoming louder. A quick sweep of the room I can tell she is not in here. The only place left is our bathroom. The light is on shining onto our bedroom floor. Since the door is open I walk right in. What I'm seeing is sending a pain to my heart. My Bones is leaning against the tub with a red tear stained face.

"Bones" I whisper.

She looks at me as I drop down to her side. Pulling her into my arms I tell her that everything is okay.

"I'm here. It's okay. I'm so sorry baby. I'm so sorry."

As she is calming down to my words they are bringing tears to my eyes. How could I have let this happen? I hate to see Bones cry and it is because of me. She has now stopped crying and her breathing is back to normal. Without a word I stand to help her up. We head over to our bed with my hand on her lower back. She sits down on the bed and I take the risk of sitting down next to her. I can't tell if she is mad at me or not. She has yet to look me in the eye again, smile, or say anything. She puts her hand on my thigh. I'm moving my hand to cover hers with mine, but she just uses me to push her up into a standing position. Then with one hand on her stomach she walks out of the room into the hallway. I stay seated for a minute. I can tell by the shadow on the ground that she is standing in the hallway. I get up to go talk to her. Entering the hall I see her standing staring at the closed door of our child room which I have yet to see. She is standing pretty close to the door with both hands on her stomach so I walk to stand behind her. As I stand I don't' dare touch or talk to her yet. She slowly turns around to look at me. Quickly she takes the two steps that are between us and wraps her arms around me as best as she can. I hold her to me as close as I can. Before I can tell her I'm sorry she puts her forehead to mine.

"Don't ever leave Booth."

Her voice trembles while she says it. I cup her face in my hands and look into her eyes.

"Bones, I love you. I will never leave you."

She is smiling at me and turns around in my arms to look at the baby's door again. Her back is pressed into my chest. My arms wrap around her and I rest my hands onto of hers on her stomach. I feel the baby kick and put my lips close to her ear.

"Bones, I'm going to take time off of work until the baby is born."

I place a light kiss on her neck and head as I continue to stand with the one I love.

Really Sorry That I Haven't Updated In A While. I Was On Vacation But I Did Get A Chance To Write This Chapter. I Hope You Liked It. Sorry For All The POV Changes I Felt Like I Couldn't Get The Right Message Across If I Only Had The POV Of Booth And Brennan.
