1Chapter 5 - Monday Morning

Angela

Cam gave you warning so it didn't surprise you when Booth showed up at your door. You have no idea what it is you are suppose to tell him and what you should leave to Brennan to tell him. Everything is her story and even though you have the reputation of interfering in everyone's affairs this is one you almost wish you were not involved with. There are so many things that have happened since he left, so many things have changed that even beginning at the beginning is not really the beginning (If that makes any sense at all.) You figure you will just wait and see what questions he will ask and if they are appropriate you will answer them.

It seems you are not the only one who has no idea where to start seeing as he has just been standing in the doorway not saying anything for the past five minutes. Okay this is getting ridiculous.

"Booth? I know you are there. You going to speak anytime soon."

"Yeah Ange I just don't know where to start."

"Well what do you want to know?" This is going no where fast.

"Where is she?"

That's a simple enough question. "Visiting Zach, she goes every Monday. Anything else?" I was not going to make this easy on him after the pain he caused my best friend.

"Is she alright?"

Well there's a loaded question. "She's fine currently."

"In the past?"

"The pregnancy was hard on her. She was on bed rest for the last three months of it."

"Where does she live?"

"For awhile with Jack and I, Once Celia was four months old she got a nice townhouse about 20 minutes from here."

"Will you give me the address?"

"Nope."

"Why not?"

"You hurt her Booth, more than even I know. I don't expect you to understand. And to be honest if she never wants to see you again I'm completely on her side."

The look in his eyes almost broke my resolve to not tell him anything more.

"What was it that Cam said I needed to know? That I had to ask you about."

Shoot what do I say, why did Cam have to tell him that.

"Please Angela"

The look in his eyes added to his whispered plea finally broke me, I really need to get a stronger will/resolve.

"You hurt her Booth. She completely shut down. She didn't eat, she didn't sleep. It was only after she found out she was pregnant that she started to eat and sleep again. She turned back into the person she was before you. She barely talked to me Booth. ME! Her best friend and she didn't say anything to me. The first time she really spoke to me was the day she found out about Celia. Even then it was very little, I sat there for 4 hours holding her while she cried."

I stopped so I could breathe, after saying all that in one breath.

"It didn't get better Booth. Whenever one thing seemed to be going right another thing would go wrong. She starts opening up again, but she's not allowed to do field work anymore- even recoveries were restricted because of that stupid replacement Agent. Once she accepted that and resigned herself to just working in limbo, Her health declined. She almost miscarried. It was lucky that they were able to save her. After that she had to be on bed rest for the rest of her pregnancy."

"That was all before Celia's birth. For a month or two it was calm then Celia developed colic. And well it wasn't good. But I think the rest should come from Bren. I she wanted you to know she would have told you when she saw you."

"I kinda didn't give her the chance."

"Booooooth." I drew out in a whine while rolling my eyes. I already knew this but like I said I wasn't going to let him off easy.

"Just tell me where she lives."

"No."

"Well can you get her to call me at least, please can you help me here."

"I'll try, but I'm not going to force her. I'm only going to do it for Celia because this needs to be resolved for her sake, beyond that is out of my control."

"Thank you.

AN: so I wrote this with no idea where the conversation was heading, and you can probably tell from how I kept drawing out the beginning with no idea how to start, heck not even the beginning but the middle and end too. Sigh. Oh well this turned out to be more of a filler chapter than I wanted it to be. Hopefully i'llmake it up to all of you next chapter.

See ya soon
