I don't own Bones, I know I have 206 in my body, but the Bones from Fox isn't mine.

I will hopefully post two of these a week, usually on Mondays. One from Brennan's point of view and the other from Booth's point of view.

Booth's point of view

The Devotion in the Desire

Zack left for Iraq, and Bones has withdrawn from everyone around her. I don't know how to get her back in the field. I'm not sure if it is something I did, or she is upset about the departure of Zack. When I finally got her to leave the lab, we found out the victim was eaten by a cannibal, so I really don't know which was worse.

I spoke to Cam to see if she had any idea what was wrong, and she told me that maybe it's because I arrested her Dad. Bones told me she understood that, but now I don't know. She is such a complicated person, and I am finding that I am enjoying discovering all the sides of her personality.

Zack came back from the war, they told him he was unable to assimilate. I believe that.

.

We arrested the man who ate our victim, and when we went to talk to him in jail, I finally found out what was wrong between us. She was upset over the fact that I didn't stop Zack from going in the first place. It bothered her that I didn't tell him, 'Iraq is no place for a guy like you'. I remember that conversation so well, because it was the point at which I got her back. She finally understood.

She said, "And he'd never have left. You could have stopped him. Why didn't you do that?"

"Whatever Zack's deal is- okay his weirdness - whatever you want to call it…"

"I call it genius."

"He's a… man. He's a, uhm, he's a strange man, but he's a man who wanted to serve a larger purpose."

"This is some alpha male rite of passage?"

"No"

"You mean, go to war?"

"Wrong. No. Zack needed to leave the nest. The same way you did when you wanted to leave the lab and see the world for the first time, and I helped you do that. How could I stop Zack from doing the exact same thing in his own way?"

The prison guard interrupted us at that point, so I didn't say anymore, but I know she needs to process information in her own time, so I just had to let her be.

A few days later, we met at the reflecting pool for coffee. She was talking nonstop about the case and as I handed her, her coffee, her lips touched my hand, and it felt as if bolt of electricity went through me. What was forming between us?

.

I think Bones is beginning to forgive her father. I hope this helps her to heal from the hurt she holds inside. She visits him almost every day.

This was a creepy case. The victim was part of a fantasy world that had people pretend to be ponies. They even ate horse food. It was a strange way to have sex. When the case was over, I told Bones that there was a big difference between having kinky sex and making love. I was shocked when she agreed with me.

.

Because I arrested Max, we have to see a therapist in order to remain partners. He's like twelve years old, and I don't like him. He was questioning my humanity, and Bones stuck up for me. I couldn't believe it. It felt so good to have her tell him off in protection of me.

He said we could stay together, but had to continue to see him. That we have an emotional attachment to each other, and that we complete each other. Wow, how does he know?

We talked about what would happen if there were no more murders. She said that she would not even have coffee with me. When I heard that it felt like my heart was breaking, so I asked her why wouldn't she have coffee with me, and she said if there weren't any murders we wouldn't know each other. Once I explained what I meant, she agreed to have coffee with me, but when I looked at her, I felt that we both wanted more than coffee.

She was Wonder Woman for Halloween, and she looked great. At the end of the evening she said we could be Wonder Woman and Clark Kent after a real bad date. At first, I thought she meant something more by that comment, but afterward I realized I misunderstood.

I had to kill a man tonight. He was the murderer and he would have killed Megan Shaw if we didn't catch him, but I still regret taking a life.

.

I let it slip how well I know Bones today. I was fooling around and I told her I knew her password. I also told her I knew her second choice and her favorite planet. I remember everything she tells me. I think she was surprised by my admission. She really has no idea how she affects me.

Bones told me a story from her childhood today, and I laughed at her. I didn't mean to, it just happened, and now she's mad at me. It really bothers me when she's angry, so I need to make amends.

Sweets said to tell her an embarrassing story back, but she doesn't like any of my stories. She said they were all about my sexual exploits. I finally told her about the time I laughed when one of my buddies held this kid over a stairwell. That day I chose a side and it was the wrong one. I went against what I believed in. I went against my nature. She accepted my story, and the Brainy Smurf I bought her. I wish she would accept me, because I am having a hard time fighting this feeling between us. Why did I have to draw that line?

.

Russ walked into my office at the FBI, and I arrested him, but when I looked into Temperance's face, I saw so much pain, that I had to let him see his daughter, so I took him to the hospital to visit her. She kissed me. She kissed me, on the cheek, but she still kissed me. I was frozen in place, and I didn't know what to do.

I wanted to take her into my arms, and pull her close, but I knew I would frighten her. I think she is terrified of any feelings. I felt like a teenager getting my first kiss, and all I could say was "Just don't tell anyone." Wow, I am totally losing this battle.

I helped Russ by having some friends make a few phone calls on his behalf, but if he hurts Bones, again I will make him pay.

.

Gorgomon sent a pair of kneecaps to Bones' home through the mail. She was so relaxed about the situation, but I was concerned about her safety.

I think I am in love with her, and I don't know what to do. I look forward to seeing her each day, and think about the different excuses I can use just to be close to her. I wonder how she feels, or better yet, if she knows. Sometimes when I look at her it seems like she feels the same way too, but then she changes her expression so quickly I wonder if I imagined it.

I went to the shooting range again today. I have to be at my best. I can't let her get hurt. I need to protect he r. I need to keep her safe.

.

Bones kissed me, a real, on the lips, made me feel lightheaded and dizzy kind of kiss. Even though Caroline set it all up, so Bones could get a trailer to visit her Dad on Christmas Eve, it felt amazing. I couldn't even think afterward. I can only imagine what it would have been like if it was for real. Well I can imagine, because I will never forget that first kiss, but now that I love her, I know the next one will be mind blowing.

Parker and I went to the jail afterwards and brought her a tree. I could see the happiness in her eyes, and hear it in her voice on the phone as I wished her a Merry Christmas.

.

I have to go on a date with Bones. Can Sweets find any other ways to torture me?

I worried for nothing, Bones was very cool about it, and it wasn't even weird.

Bones is the foster parent of a six-month-old baby, which we found at a crime scene. As I watch her with the baby, she seems to have developed a motherly instinct with him. I am surprised that she adapted so well to caring for him, because I didn't think she had any experience with children.

I think she is becoming attached to him, because when I said we had to bring him to family services she became stubborn and refused, so we ended keeping him for a few more days.

She decided to rebuild the bridge into town, and she hired Andy's new mother to head up the project. I wish she would take my advice and buy a house then we could all go fishing, come back home, plop ourselves in front of that one hundred and three inch plasma screen of *heaven* and *football* and she can make the seven layer dip… Maybe someday…

Bones' father is on trial for murder. They temporarily severed our partnership. This is the first time I have regretted going to court. I don't want to sit on the witness chair and look into her eyes.

I had to serve a warrant on Bones to look for the murder weapon in her home. Zack came with me, and he found it. This is more difficult than I thought. While he was searching, I told her that she needs to be Temperance, and not Dr. Brennan. I hope she understood me.

Bones came to me with a question about the trial. She said she had an alternate story. I told her to go with her heart, but never expected this. When they put me on the witness stand and asked me if she could commit murder, I couldn't believe it. I looked at her and realized that she was the alternate story. I should have known. After all, I was there when we found the murder weapon in her home.

I told the court, "Temperance Brennan – I've worked with this woman. I've stood over death with her; I've faced down death with her. And Sweets, he's brilliant, he is, but he's wrong. She could not have done this." Then they asked if she had time, and I had to answer," Yes".

Max was released from jail, he was found innocent of murder, and he is staying with Bones for a little while until he finds his own place. Bones will never cease to amaze me.

Our new case is about a singer who was murdered, and during the investigation, Bones told me she could sing like Cindi Lauper. I don't know if I believe that. I think I am going to set up a time where she can sing for us.

Bones can sing! Wow, she's very good. I didn't believe that. The only thing is, I was shot during her singing, and when I woke up the bureau told me they staged my death, so we can catch Ramon Sanborn. I have been trying to catch him for years, but he went underground over five years ago, and no one has seen him since.

I was gone for two weeks, and when I returned, at my funeral, Bones punched me. I didn't know it at the time, but Sweets decided not to tell her, so she spent the past two weeks thinking I was dead. I don't think she cares for me as much as I care for her, because if she did she would have been more upset at my funeral. I was going to tell her that night she sang, and now I'm glad I didn't.

Gormogon strikes again, and this time he took one of our own. Zack became his apprentice. Bones is devastated, and I don't know what to do to help her through this. If we were together I would take her in my arms and hold her, but we aren't, and I can only be there, if she needs me.

Please post some reviews. I would like to know what everyone thinks, bad or good.
