And here is the ending. Thank you for following this story. I hope you enjoy the happy ending!
18. The guy I knew
The doctor looked at the scream. Zach and Melinda were not, they were crying. Finding it hard, that they lost their children. The doctor's face changed.
"I've never seen anything like this." the doctor said and turned to the couple "I hair two strong heartbeats. They made it. It seems like they are full grown, but we would rather wait for you to give birth to them. It never happened that a twin survived such a trauma. I'm quiet surprised."
"What are you saying?" Melinda asked, "Are you saying that they are okay? That we're still having twins."
"Yes." the doctor smiled at them "That's exactly what we're saying, but you'll have to stay here. Mrs. Your dialed a couple of centimeters, here in the hospital we can keep that under control, if you go home, you could go in labor any day. We should really get the bounder of 8 months. And you are only 7 months along, we're just playing sure."
"That's okay doctor." Melinda said, "We're just glad, they are fine."
They drove her to the room, where Scully, Mulder, Booth and Brennan were waiting for her; they seemed to be quite concerned about Melinda's situation.
"Are you okay?" Scully asked
"Well, she is fine." Zach said "although the has to stay here in the hospital, it seems she is dialed a couple of centimeters. The doctors just want to play safe. They will keep her here in the hospital."
A couple agents walked in the room. Looking at Zach. "Zachary Uraih Addy"
He nodded his head, while they made his hands fast on his back with Handcuffs, walking him out the room. Melinda looked after him with a double feeling. At the other hand, she did not want him to go, yet she still felt engrossed but what her husband had done to that guy. Still not knowing why. She cried a little in her pillow.
"He killed that person, to protect you and Prue. He was going to kill you. You have to understand." Scully said
"Do I have to?" Melinda looked at Scully "Do I have to understand what he did? He could have talked to me, yet he did not. He had to tell me, I mean I trusted him. Why couldn't he have trust me?"
"Maybe, he was afraid what was going to happen, when you knew;" Mulder replied, "maybe he thought if you knew, you would look at him differently."
"I don't know what I have to think. I'm just glad; he didn't do it because of the rational thing, I'm happy, that he actually had a reason…" Melinda said, "Still I still have the feeling like I don't know him anymore. He killed a man, and I am not talking about killing a man for the job, but he killed a man. I thought I knew him, and now I constantly get the feeling that I was wrong about him. The person that I knew would never do something like that."
"Maybe, you think he wouldn't. But you still know Zach, we all do." Brennan said, "He did this because he was a good guy, he thought with his heart and with his soul. He just wanted to protect you against anything. I guess killing someone to protect another person is not that wrong. I'm not saying it's the right thing to do, but who thinks clearly in that kind of situation."
"You're right. I just…" Melinda replied "He has to change his testify. Zach cannot go to an institution, he's not crazy. And he cannot go to jail. He's a good guy. I can't deal with the father of my children going to the mental institution. Tempe, you must make him change that testify, get him a lawyer and make him change it. His Miranda right were not read to him, so his testify is not right. You can use that. Please, you have to do that. And the Gormagon guy, he must pay for what he did. For what he did to all this people, to my husband and to what he was about to do to us."
Temperance nodded her head. "What are you going to do about Prue?" Melinda looked at her, worried. She had not yet thought about Prue yet. Prue was staying over at a friend's house, but she had to be picked up there this afternoon. And she couldn't go and get her.
"Can you look after her?" Melinda asked Temperance "She's over with a friend; she lives in the apartment next to mine."
"Sure." Temperance nodded "off course I want to take care of her. She's a sweet kid. I'll take care of her for the next 2 months, while you're here. Until Zach gets out of the institution."
"Don't tell her. About Zach, I mean, she does not need to know. She won't understand." Melinda said
"off course, I would never say that to her. I'll tell her, you're in the hospital, because they need to keep an eye on you. I'll take her to the lab every day." Temperance said, "I think she keep herself busy at my office."
"You can drop her off here, I'm sure the hospital won't mind, if she's here." Melinda said "And I want to see my daughter very regular."
Temperance stood up leaving the hospital room; Scully and Mulder were still sitting next to her. Scully was talking to Melinda. Temperance saw that Booth was following her, while she left for the elevator, taking it down to the parking garage. Stepping in Booth's SUV, Temperance sat down on the passenger seat, next to Booth, who was driving the car. Driving to Melinda's apartment. She walked up to the apartment, and nodded on the door next to Melinda's apartment. The door swung open, a woman with blond hair watching Temperance.
"I'm sorry; I'm here for Prue, Melinda's girl. Melinda is in the hospital. They are just keeping an eye on her. She is fine. I'm…"
"Temperance Brennan" The woman replied, "I love your book. Prue, someone is here to get you."
The girl walked out from behind her.
"Aunt Tempe" She yelled, "Where is Mummy?"
"Mummy is in the hospital, the doctors keep her there for 2 months, they want to make sure that your siblings are okay."
"Is mummy okay?" the little girl asked
Temperance looked down at her feet, not knowing what to say. Her mummy was okay, now, a couple of hours a go she was still in a life threatening situation. What was she suppose to tell the girl, if she had asked after Zach. "Mummy is fine. She asked you to take care of you."
"Why can't daddy take care of me?" Prudence asked. There was the question Brennan thought, she was about to ask that. What did she have to tell the girl 'Oh, your dad killed a man, so that is why he is in the madhouse'. Temperance laughed. 'No, she could not say that."
"Sweetie, your daddy, went on a digging, just like your mummy a while ago." Brennan said
"Oh, what is he looking for?" Prue asked while looking up to Brennan
"A treasure" Brennan replied, "He's treasure haunting in Europe."
Brennan took the little girl by the hand, guiding her to the elevator. She lifted the girl in her arms and carried her to the car. She saw that Booth was waiting for her.
"Hey" Prue said, "That's your friend again. You didn't bring the lame boy right?"
"No, Parker is not with me right now." he laughed while he saw that Temperance putted Prue on her lap. Booth started the car. He looked at Temperance who was playing with Prue. Booth laughed at his girlfriend.
"What's so funny?" Prue asked, "Is he your special friend?"
"Yeah, I love Booth." Brennan replied
"So are you going on a date?" Prue said smiling "You said people who like each other a lot date. And you guys do."
Booth stopped the car in front of Brennan's apartment. "You are really something." He said while rubbing her hair. "How old are you anyway, sweetie?"
She held up three fingers. And smiled at Booth.
020"3" Booth counted "You are already a big girl."
They stepped out of the car. Brennan lifted Prue in her arms once more again hugging her. They came up to the apparent.
"So what do you guys want to eat?" Brennan asked, "I'll let Prue choose."
"Mac and Cheese" Booth whispered in her. Prue laughed and hid her face in Brennans hear. And blushed a little.
"I want Macaroni and Cheese" Prue whispered in her ear.
"Real subtitle, Booth." Brennan looked at him.
"What? I just gave the child an idea." Booth said "And you heard the little girl. Mac and Cheese, Bones. Mac and Cheese. I'll take her and watch some TV, while you go and cook."
"You're sure you want Mac and cheese, sweetie?" Brennan asked while she saw that Prue was nodding and smiling.
"See!" Booth said while he lifted the girl in his arms and took her along to the TV. Brennan heard Prue saying that it was a real big TV. Brennan took a Castrol out of the cabinet and started cooking.
Booth and Prue were sitting in front of the TV. Zapping true the channels. Prue stopped at Hannah Montana. She sat on the couch watching the TV. Jumping up and down. When Hannah was singing.
After Hannah Montana it was 8 simple rules, Prue switched the channels. Revealing nothing was on TV.
"Can I watch a movie?" She asked Booth, while she looked at him with her innocent eyes.
"Off course, you can. What you got?" Booth asked
"I want to watch Cinderella," Prue asked
"Cinderella it is." Booth said while putting the DVD, the girl handed in the DVD-player. He started the DVD. Sitting next to the little girl. Booth always wanted a daughter after he got Parker. He had wished to get a baby again.
"Thank you." The girl said to Booth. He watched her again; the little girl looked just like Melinda. She had Brown curly hairs and blue sparkling eyes. She was wearing a skirt and a t-shirt with Troy and Gabriella from High school musical on it. Her curly hairs were in two ponytails.
After an hour, Brennan came out of the kitchen; she had a plate with Macaroni for all of them.
"Dinner" She yelled at Booth and Prue who were watching TV. Prue ran to the table, a little later followed by Booth, who sat down next to Brennan. Prue got her fork and started eating the macaroni part by part. Watching Brennan eat. After a couple of minutes, Brennan got some ice cream out of refrigerators. Prue ate her chocolate ice-cream very slow.
"I want to go see High school Musical 3" Prue said "Can we go to the movies?"
"Off course honey." Brennan said, "It's a good movie, me and Booth have already seen it."
"Oh" The girl said "And you did not take me."
"Let's go to the movies." Booth said while he took his cote. "But if you're okay with it, we're going to get the crazy boy."
"Okay." The girl said
Booth stopped by an apartment on his way to the movie theater. He knocked on the door. Parker opened the door. Rebecca was behind him.
"Rebecca, Bones and me were about to go and see High school musical 3 senior year with Melinda's daughter Prue. And I was wondering if Parker wanted to join us." Booth asked
"Can I mummy?" Parker said while he looked at his mother.
"Okay." Rebecca admitted "But I want Parker back on Sunday by 3, Seeley. Is that little Prue with you again? Parker can't stop talking about how sweet the girl is."
"I thought you said she was a spoiled brat." Booth said
"Yes, but she's a cute spoiled brat." Parker admitted "And I like her.
They walked to the car. And Prue was watching Parker.
"There's the crazy boy." Prue said
After the movie, Booth putted Prue in one of the beds in the guestroom. Parker stepped in the bed next to it.
"Good night sun." Booth said while he closed the door off Brennan's guestroom. He entered the room. Brennan was sitting on the couch. In her hands she had a glass of water.
"Are you okay?" Booth asked her
"Well," Brennan sat up "I'm kind of worried about Zach and about Melinda. What if he does not get out? Booth, what do I have to tell Prue about Zach. She thinks he went for diggings. Her mum is going to be busy with the twins. I don't know if Melinda can do this."
"Sure" Booth said, "We have to get Zach out, he did not do anything."
"We are reopening the case. Changing the verdict." Brennan said "Booth this is DC. What if they give him the worst punishment?"
"Bones" Booth took her in his arms "How could they do that? They are no going to give him the lethal injecting."
"What if they do?" Brennan stepped up "What if they decide this, if they decide to sentence him like that."
"Your fatter got out." Booth said, "If they kill Zach, it will kill us all."
"Because everyone in the jury thought, I had killed that guy. Or could have, anyway. He got out, with lack of proof. They can proof Zach did it." Brennan said
"Bones, they will get him out." Booth replied
"Those family members will want him death." Brennan said, "They want someone to pay for the dead of their family member."
"What about Gormagon?" Booth stood up and put his arms around him "This is his entire fold; he is the only one that deserves to be killed. Everything ells is going to be alright."
