A/N: I'm back! I've been pretty busy all summer and I've been procrastinating woops. Sorry about that. By the way, I still accept prompts.

Warning: *Spoilers are in this chapter*

Disclaimer: I do not own Bones or any of the characters otherwise Booth wouldn't be in jail rn.

Chapter 4: Tears


It was midnight and she couldn't stop the tears streaming down her face. Trying to compose herself, Brennan quietly walked into Christine's bedroom and sat in the rocking chair at the end of her bed.

"Mommy?"

"Yes, sweetheart?"

"When is daddy coming back from his mission?"

Trying not to let the tears slip from her eyes, Brennan replied. "Soon baby. Go back to sleep now."

"Mommy?" Whispered the little girl once again.

"Mhmm?" Brennan hummed.

"Will you sleep with me tonight?"

"Of course, baby."

Brennan crawled under the sheets next to Christine and they were soon asleep by the comfortable silence surrounding them.


Quietly crawling out of bed as to not disturb the five year-old beside her, Brennan went downstairs to fix them some breakfast. Halfway into cooking the scrambled eggs and bacon, the five-year old descended the steps one by one.

"Good morning sweetheart. Are you hungry?"

"Yes mommy. Are we going to visit daddy today?"

"After breakfast, we're going to wash up and then visit daddy."

"Okay." Christine said as she quickly ate her eggs and bacon.


Walking through the security checkpoint, Brennan's eyes welled up in tears as she spotted Booth waiting at a round table.

"Daddy!" Said Christine running towards her father.

"Hey pumpkin."

"Booth."

"Bones." Booth said as his voice cracked a little.

"We miss you so much. We're trying everything to get you back." Brennan whispered as she grasped his hands.

"I know Bones. I miss you two so much. I know you'll get me out of here soon."

"I'm scared, Booth. Scared that you won't make it out of here alive. Everyone here wants you dead and you know it. You have to be careful."

"I know, I know. I'm fine, don't worry."

"Daddy, when is your mission over?"

"Soon, pumpkin. Just a few more weeks okay, baby? Daddy loves you so much, and I promise to be home very soon, okay?" He said as he hugged the little girl in his lap.

"Booth, we have to leave now. I promised Angela that we would have lunch. I love you, stay safe okay?" Brennan said with a peck on his cheek.

"Bye daddy! I love you! I hope your mission is done soon."

"Bye, pumpkin. I love you too." Booth said with one last hug.


A/N: Even though this was incredibly short, I still had to write something. This is basically my take on how Brennan visits Booth in jail with Christine. Obviously, I had to make Christine think that her own father was on a mission because how do you tell your daughter that her own father is in jail? Anyways, I hope that you guys enjoyed this. Thank you for staying with me so far! There will be more to come, I promise.
