Hey guys! Sorry it's been a little since I wrote but I'm here! Here is Chapter 4!
After all the craziness in the lab subsided the partners got back to work. Solving the case in a matter of hours. Once they interviewed the wife she confessed everything. Murder weapon and all. The group of scientists and Booth went home happy that night. The pair resided in Brennan's apartment that night enjoying Thai food and discussions about the case. Booth enjoyed their time together that night while Brennan sat and pondered at the day's events. She couldn't get the confrontation between Booth and his father out of her head. She half listened to him talk about the wife but her focus was more on the fight than his words. He noticed her staring blankly into space and looked at her puzzled
"Hey." He said loudly. Her trance was broken and she looked up at him to see the puzzled look on his face. She smiled and spoke
"What's up?" She asked. He look at her with squinted eyes and spoke
"Are you okay? You were staring into space." He said. She was about to speak when he stopped her
"I know you can't physically stare into space. It's a figure of speech." She smiled at what he said. He knew her so well and she loved it. "What were you thinking about Bones?" He asked. She shrugged her shoulders and averted her eyes. He sighed. He knew what she was thinking about,
"Bones, don't think about what happened today." He said. She sighed, looked up at him and spoke,
"I can't Booth. It keeps playing in my mind like a broken record." She said. She put her plate down and looked at him. He sighed and spoke
"I know what you're thinking." He said light heartedly. She gave him a small smile and spoke
"I know you do and I love and hate how you know." She said smiling. He laughed softly. Her smile faded and she spoke
"Booth, I think you should go talk to him." She said fast. She knew he wouldn't react well to this but she needed to voice her opinion to him.
"Bones-" he said shaking his head. He knew she was going to say that and he didn't want to hear that. She held up a hand and stopped him in his track
"Wait Booth. Let me explain why." He sat back on the couch and listened to her. She moved to the chair across from him and spoke
"Booth, I know what he did to you and Jared as children is unforgivable and I'm not saying that you should and forgive him but goingand talking to him will be beneficial. I'm pushing you to go and talk to your father just like you pushed me to talk to mine. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have a relationship with Russ and my father and I can't thank you enough for pushing me. Now it's my turn to push you. Go talk to him." She said. He avoided eye contact and sighed
"I don't know if I can Bones." He said with his voice cracking slightly. She took his hands in hers and spoke
"You are the strongest man I know. It's going to be tough, trust me but doing this will help you let go of some of your anger towards him. Again. You don't have to forgive him for what he's done but talking to him will help." He smiled softly. He pulled her into a long kiss. When they broke apart he caressed her cheek with his hand and spoke
"Bones, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love you so much." He said. She smiled with tears in her eyes. Damn hormones. She spoke
"I love you too Booth. More than you can even imagine. Thank you for being there for me." She said. He kissed her once more. When they broke apart she got up and fished the card with Joe's number out of her purse and sat back across from him. She held out the card to him and didn't say anything. He looked down at the card then back at her. She looked at him with love and determination in her eyes. He sighed and took the card from her and started dialing the number. He looked at her as the phone rang. Once he heard a hello on the other side. He looked away from her. She never took her eyes off of him.
"Hey, it's me, it's Seeley. We should talk. How's tomorrow at 12 sound? Yes, the Royal diner. Okay." He hung up the phone and looked at her. She embraced him in the tightest hug that her stomach would allow. He relaxed in her embrace. She let go but kept her arms around his neck,
"Do you want me to come with you?" She asked. He nodded
"Yeah but not at the table. Sit at the bar because I'm gonna need you after that." He said. She nodded and kissed him softly.
"It's going to be okay Booth." She said. He sighed and looked at her
"I hope so Bones."
