CHAPTER. Chapter 10. Toilets and Teas

DISCLAIMER. There are many things I own, but Bones is not one of them. All characters belong to Kathy Reichs, Hart Hanson and FOX.

WARNING. There may be some inappropriate language here and there. Please keep that in mind, and don't start screaming at me.

I woke up to the sound of intense vomiting and groans, but soon realizing that my head was pounding insanely, as if I had a dance club in my head.

Fuck. How much did I drink last night?

Groggily, I arose from the queen size bed that I apparently shared with Booth. I looked over at him. He was lying on his bare stomach, still sleeping like a baby. A tiny bit of drool visible on the corner of his mouth. His hands were driven underneath the white, fluffy pillow and his feet were sticking out from the blankets. The blankets covered his mid-to-lower section of his body.

I groaned from the intense pounding in my head. A sudden wave of nausea attacked me then and I scurried off to the bathroom to heave. Crap. Hangover. Just what the doctor ordered. I used that phrase right, right? I heaved one last time before wiping my mouth with a tissue and rinsing it out with water.

"Bones?" He appeared at the doorway. "Are you okay?" He stepped in and started rubbing my back in small circles.

"No. How come you aren't throwing up into the toilet? Or groaning from a head--" Another wave hit and a charged for the toilet.

"Oh. My poor Bones." He handed me a tissue to wipe my mouth. "As for your question...I didn't drink as much as you did."

"Obviously." That was a completely stupid question Brennan.

"I'll get you a glass of water. Do you want me to get you Tylenol?"

"Yes. Tylenol please," I replied as I leaned over the toilet once again. He kissed my cheek and left.

I finally made it downstairs after half an hour of continuous vomiting. Everyone was already downstairs, in the living room, when I got there. Zack looked perfectly fine, of course. He didn't consume any type of alcohol last night. Cam appeared as if she was caught in a wrestling match. Hodgins looked completely wasted and Angela just looked dead? The pathologist, entomologist and artist were all groaning and holding their heads. Booth was sitting in the corner chuckling and shaking his head.

"Mornin' everyone..."I moaned. I stumbled over to the sofa where Booth was sitting, and plopped down, laying my head in his lap.

Booth lowered his head near my face. "How are you feeling?"

I groaned. "Like I have a techno dance club in my head, but it's getting slightly better." Seriously.

He kissed my forehead, then leaned back against the sofa. "How about you three?" he inquired Angela, Cam and Hodgins.

They all groaned in response, suppressing a little chuckle from Booth. The three of them glared at them. "Sorry." Still a grin present on his face.

"Hodgins, can I borrow your kitchen for a sec?" Booth inquired.

Hodgins gestured for him to go, while getting ready to sprint for the bathroom to heave. Booth shook his head in amusement. I sat up slowly so that he was able to get up. Then, laid my head back down when he kissed me on the forehead again and left for the kitchen. He peered back into the living room and asked, "Does anyone want breakfast?" The four of us, excluding Zack, groaned in response. Zack followed Booth to the kitchen, however.

How can they eat now?

Oh right. They didn't drink as much as you did Temperance.

You were the idiot that listened to Angela and drank so much alcohol.

--Xx--

About fifteen minutes later, the smell of scrambled eggs, bacon and sausages tickled my nose. It smelled so delicious, so tempting. But my stomach thought otherwise. The feeling of nausea kicked in. Fuck. I covered my mouth and scurried off to the bathroom, luckily reaching the toilet in time.

I exited the bathroom minutes later and noticed that everyone had left the living room. All of them had relocated to the kitchen, sitting on stools, and drinking what I guessed was tea. My appearance caught Booth's attention. He gave me a smile. Then, "Would you like some tea, Bones?"

I returned a nodded. "I never knew you were a person that makes tea." I walked over to him.

"Well, there is a lot you don't know about me. Anyways, what would you like? Green tea or Chamomile?" He paused. "I recommend Green Tea, helps relieve the hangover."

"That would be great." I kissed his cheek, then rested my head on his shoulder, as he made the tea.

"You guys look so adorable!" Angela said with as much enthusiasm as possible.

He smiled and kissed my hair. "Here is your tea, Dr. Brennan," he said, gesturing like a waiter.

I chuckled under my breath. He's so sweet. Who knew just making tea could make me feel like this.

"Are you guys feeling any better?" I asked.

"I am feeling much better. Thank god we didn't have to go to work today," Cam said.

"I know. Or we'll be the ones that need examining," Hodgins said, then looked over at Zack. "Ugh. How can you be eating?"

Zack was working on some scrambled eggs. He swallowed before speaking. "It's breakfast. I'm famished. Besides, I do not have a hangover because I never consumed alcohol last night." He paused. "I told you it was not a good idea to drink so much, but you wouldn't listen."

Hodgins rolled his eyes. "Whatever," he mumbled.

--Xx--

At around three-thirty, I finally felt completely better and decided it was time to leave. Booth and I exchanged farewells to our friends before leaving Hodgins' place.

"Did you have fun, Bones?" He took one of my hands, as we continued strolling to the SUV.

I looked over at him. "Yes. I had a magnicient time. Except for the fact that this morning was hell." I adjusted my gaze to the ground. "I am never drinking that much again!" I laughed.

He copied. "I don't mind having you drunk. You look so damn cute."

I rolled my eyes, then slapped his arm gently. "I mean the hangover, Booth."

He chuckled. "I know, I just like teasing you." He leaned over and kissed me. "Now, let's say we go get some food. I'm hungry."

"Whatever you say, Booth. Whatever you say."
