Chapter 14-After All

"Can we go back?"

"Back where?"

"To my apartment."

"You want to go back there? Why!?"

"I need to. I need to see it.Please."

"Fine. We will go tomorrow. For now I want you to rest." Booth said. As he stood to leave Brennan grabbed his arm. He looked down at her,she looked terrified.

"Stay. Please."

"I will always be here."

Booth awoke early the next morning. 6 am to be exact. He rolled over and stared at the celing. As he laid there taking in the silence,Booth could swear he heard a piano. Booth had a piano in the living room that had sat there for years,unplayed. An inheritance from his grandmother. The sad memories of her death had always kept Booth from playing.

"What the hell is that?"He whispered. Booth jumped out of bed,threw on his robe and went in search of who was playing the piano. He tip toed slowly into the hallway. Suddenly he heard a woman singing.

"Through the darkness

I can see your light

And you will always shine

And I can feel your heart in mine

Your face I've memorized

I idolize just you"

"Bones?"He mouthed,when he saw Brennan sitting at the piano. Her eyes were glassy,like she had been crying. The look of pain on her face stabbed Booth through the heart.

The words that flowed from her lips,made Booth tear up. He couldn't imagine what she was feeling. Booth know he felt hopeless. Hopeless because he didn't know what to say or do anymore.

"I look up to

Everything you are

In my eyes you do no wrong

I've loved you for so long

And after all is said and done

You're still you

After all

You're still you"

Brennan sang,fresh tears fell onto the piano keys,shattering like glass. She was thinking about Booth. About the pain she felt she was causing. About the fear that was forever in her mind. About the love that she so deeply felt. Never had she felt this way about anyone.

"You walk past me

I can feel your pain

Time changes everything

One truth always stays the same

You're still you

After all

You're still you"

Booth stared at his beloved Bones, she was singing her heart out. Crying all the while.

"I look up to

Everything you are

In my eyes you do no wrong

And I believe in you

Although you never asked me to

I will remember you

And what life put you through"

Suddenly Brennan looked up. She saw Booth,standing,staring. Her eyes locked with his and she sang.

"And in this cruel and lonely world

I found one love

You're still you

After all

You're still you"

"Bones,that was amazing"Booth said,sitting on the bench next to her.

She laid her head on his shoulder "Thank you."

"Where did you learn to play piano?"

"A foster family that I was with let me take lessons."

"The song is beautiful. Who is it about?"

"You"Brennan whispered so meekly.

"Me!?. Wow. Thanks,Bones. I love you too." Booth said,looking sincerely touched

Brennan suddenly shot upright "You hungry?"

"Yeah,why?" Booth asked,thinking he made her uncomfortable.

"I'm going to cook for you."

"You...you're gonna cook?"Booth said,shocked

"Shut up. Yes I am going to cook. It's a surprise though. So you go get dressed and I will cook."Brennan said,running off into the kitchen.

Booth shook his head and laughed "She's gonna poison me."

"Okay. We have two eggs over easy,bacon,sausage and toast."Brennan said,putting a huge plate of food infront of Booth.

"Holy cow,Bones. This look amazing. Thank you."Booth said,kissing Brennan's cheek.

"You're welcome."

"Wut or oooh hamin?"Booth asked through a mouthfull of food.

"Waffles with strawberrys and chocolate chips."Brennan said. Booth nodded in approval.

"So are we going to the apartment today?"Booth asked.

"Please. I need to see."

"I spoke with Cullen last night. He said that you can take anything you want. Everything has already swept for prints."

"Okay."

Brennan stood firmly in front of what used to be her apartment door. She blinked back tears,and stared blankly at the door. It was almost as if she was trying to look through it.

"Do you want to go in?" the sound of Booth's voice made her jump.

"Yes,just not quite yet."Brennan said. She sat on the floor with a thump. Suddenly she felt like throwing up

"Did you say that the place was already swept?"

"For prints? Yeah. You can do whatever you want in there."Booth said.

Brennan jumped to her feet "Good". She clapped her hand over her mouth and ran into the apartment. Quickly Brennan was on the floor in front of the toilet. Booth ran in behind her,sweeping her auburn hair into his hands.

"It's ok,Bones. It's alright let it out."

"I'm..ok now."Brennan said,flipping herself against the wall.

"What happened?"Booth asked

"Morning sickness. I'm ok." Then Brennan looked around the room. There was still blood spatter on the curtains. The mirror was shattered,the door was in peices.

"I...I thought they cleaned up?"

"No. They got all of the evidence we needed. But we had to leave somethings as is. I'm sorry.I thought you knew that."

"No it's alright. I guess I assumed. I shouldn't have."

"Ok. Now what do you want to get?"

"I want to look around. That's all."Brennan said,getting to her feet.

Brennan sat on the couch,holding her glass dolphin in her hands.

"Bones,we've been here for two hours. Thats all you want to take with you?"

"No. But I can't find the other thing."

"What is it?"

"Jasper. I can't find Jasper."

"Jasper. The pig."

"Yes. I cannot find it. I know that things can not realistically have sentimental value. And I know it is stupid of me to feel emotional because I can not find him. So lets just forget it."

"Bones" Booth said,pulling her into a hug "If having Jasper means that much to you,I will turn this place upside down until I find him."

"Thank you,Seeley."

Another twenty minutes later Booth emerged from the kitchen;Jasper in hand.

"You found him"Brennan said,smiling.

"He rolled under the fridge."

"Oh. I'm glad you found him. Can we go now."Brennan said,looking suddenly frightened.

"Are you alright?"

"I just want to get out of here. Thats all."

Booth nodded. To be honest he wanted to get out of there as well.

Booth and Brennan walked back to his car,hand in hand. For just a moment forgetting all the cares in the world.

"Do you want to go to the lab?"Booth asked.

"Yes. I want something to do."

Booth walked Brennan to her side of the car,helping her in. Then she accidently dropped her purse.

"I got it."Booth said bending down to retrieve the handbag. Booth,just for a second, looked under the car to see if anything had rolled under.

Thats when he saw it. A bomb. Counting down the second to detination. Ten...Nine...Eight..

"Bones! Out of the car!"Booth screamed,pulling Brennan out of her seat. Booth ran as far as he could. Suddenly a loud explosion was heard and Booth and Brennan were flown through the air.
