This is the third and final part of this story =) It's a bit longer than the previous parts. Don't forget to comment =)
I won't waste more of your time so here it is :) Enjoy!
"Agent Booth. What brings you here?"
"You should know, you called me" Booth said and sat down where Brennan had been sitting a while ago.
"I just wanted to make sure you were okay considering… you know Dr. Brennan. How did you get here so fast?"
"I was in the neighborhood"
"Well, Dr. Brennan told me about your break. I was hoping to get your point of view" Sweets sat down with his notepad again.
"Where did she start?"
"The hospital a couple of weeks ago"
"Okay, I assume she told you about the fight?"
"She did"
"Then I'll tell you what I did after I left her room…"
Booth slammed the door shut. He started walking towards the exit and didn't even see where he was going.
"Booth? Are you okay?" Booth barely heard Angela.
"I'm fine" he mumbled. He kept on walking.
"How could she be so stupid!?" he thought to himself "You just don't go running after serial-killers. She should know that, especially when she sees what they do to people. She must think she's some kind of superhero or something!" Thought like these swirled around in Booth's head, disappearing only to reappear later.
He got into the car and just drove. He drove around and finally found himself to be outside Brennan's apartment-complex.
He walked inside and found it a lot messier than the last time he'd been here.
Booth looked around. There were a lot of pictures everywhere; pictures of Russ, Amy, Both of them, Emma and Haley, just Emma, just Haley, pictures of the whole family.
He went over to the book shelf; there were one picture of Russ, Amy and the girls, one of her father and the rest was of him and Brennan. She had one picture of herself that Booth had taken a few months ago. Brennan was sitting on the staircase to the Jeffersonian. The rest of the squint squad had eaten their lunches there too, but Booth had taken a photo of just her. It was really pretty and Brennan loved it so.
He looked at the picture. It was his fault she was laying in the hospital. The meeting hadn't been compulsory but the last time he'd called the Jeffersonian, they had said that there wasn't any progress. Later, Brennan had found evidence of who had done it and tried calling Booth. Why hadn't he had his phone turned on?
"Agent Booth" Sweets said "it's not your fault Dr. Brennan decided to chase after a killer"
"No, I know" Booth barely sounded convinced.
"Well, Dr. Brennan didn't mention what happened in between a couple of weeks ago and last week when you had dinner at Angela and Hodgins'. Why don't you tell me about that time?"
"Well, until about three weeks ago, she didn't sleep very well…"
"Bones" Booth poked her until she woke up
"What?" she was disoriented.
"Bones, you've really got to stop hitting me in your sleep"
"I'm sorry Booth, but I'm not sleeping very well at the moment" she said coldly.
"Yeah so I've noticed"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you keep twisting and turning all the time and it's keeping me awake"
"Look Booth, I'm sorry but I can't help I'm having bad dreams, okay!?I really wish I could, I really do!" she turned away and lay herself down again to get back to sleep.
"Bones" Booth whined "Please don't be mad. Okay I admit, I'm not the happiest person in the middle of the night, but please don't be mad"
"I'm sorry Booth, but I can't control my dreams" She said, still turned away.
"I know you can't" he tried pulling her towards him but she fought back "Bones, come here" she finally caved in.
"Thanks Booth"
"That was sweet of you Agent Booth" Sweets complimented Booth
"Thank you" Booth seemed untouched by the comment.
"Okay, moving on, what did you and Hodgins talk about during the time Dr. Brennan and Angela was in the kitchen?"
"A little bit of this and a little bit of that…"
"So how are you and Dr. Brennan doing? We've all noticed that you've been quarreling a bit more than usual" Hodgins said.
"We're fine, thanks"
"Well, if you need anything man, I'm here"
"Good to know" Booth started feeling uncomfortable in the conversation. Luckily, Hodgins changed the subject
"So how's Parker?"
"Parker's fine, he's fine. Wants to start playing soccer next year"
"That's nice" Hodgins said.
"So, what are your plans for the weekend?" Booth changed the subject
"Umm…nothing really, Angela and I are going to the lake-house but other than that we don't have anything planned"
"That's nice"
"How about you and Dr. Brennan?"
"Nothing much. Just hanging out I think"
Angela and Brennan came out of the kitchen and they had a lovely dinner.
"I'm guessing Bones told you the rest" Booth looked honestly sad.
"She did, indeed"
"What's that supposed to mean!?" Booth was offended.
"N…nothing!" Sweets got nervous.
Booth arose from his seat and grabbed Sweets by the shirt and held him up against the wall.
"What did she say?" he asked angrily
"Nothing! Nothing, I promise!"
"Sweets, we both know that's not true, so why don't you do yourself a favor and tell me what she said!"
"I promised her it wouldn't leave this room!" Sweets was really afraid of what damage an angry F.B.I. Agent like Booth, could cause a small individual like himself.
"Well, aren't I in this room!?" Booth was getting impatient.
"You… you a…are" Sweets stammered after feeling the grip tighten.
"Then tell me what she said!" Booth demanded
"She-told-me-she-slept-with-Sully-the-same-night-she-broke-up-with-you-and-now-she's-pregnant-but-she-knows-the-baby-is-yours-and-she-hasn't-told-you-yet-so-she-made-me-promise-not-to-tell-anyone-about-it-yet!" Sweets said so fast only Zach would have understood it.
"WHAT!?" Booth yelled "Did you think I got any of that!?"
"I'm guessing no?" Sweets said innocently.
"Good guess" Booth still sounded angry.
"You know if you could just…" Sweets gestured that he wanted Booth to release his grip, but that only resulted in booth lifting Sweets from the floor "Or here's fine too" Sweets made one of those nods that indicated he was scared.
He took a deep breath
"She told me she slept with Sully the same night she broke up with you and now she's pregnant but she knows the baby is yours and she hasn't told you yet so she made me promise not to tell anyone about it yet"
Booth released his grip and sat down again. He was in shock.
"So she's…?"
"Yes"
"And it's…?"
"Yes"
"Wow"
"To say the least"
They were quiet.
"I've got to….go and….do…stuff" Booth said and left the office.
He made his way to the elevator, went down and almost missed Brennan where she sat, waiting for him.
"Booth!" She ran after him. "Booth, slow down!"
"What do you want Bones!?" You could tell he was upset
"I…wanted to talk to you…" She was definitely offended.
"About what!?"
"About us"
"What about us!?"
"About our situation"
"And what situation is that!? That you slept with Sully just hours after we broke up!?"
"Sweets" Brennan mumbled "And no, I didn't sleep with Sully!" she got angry. "I was playing Sweets"
"You told me what you were going to say when we were to pretend you were pregnant in front of Sweets! And Sully was not part of that!" Booth was furious "You didn't exactly pick the greatest time to play Sweets either"
"This wasn't the time we were going to do the whole pregnancy-thing! Don't you think I would have told you?"
"Well, yeah, but why did you play Sweets then? We didn't plan anything else"
"I just wanted to see how fast he would contact you so I thought I'd give him some false things to tell you" She explained "I decided that the breakup we did have would be a good "reason" for me to "sleep" with Sully"
"But if…"
"Look, here's what really happened after I left your apartment…"
Brennan dove home to her apartment and found something outside she hadn't counted on.
"Sully?" she said "What are you doing here?"
"Waiting for you" he stood up "Can I come inside? We need to talk"
"Sure" Brennan let him in.
When they'd both entered she slammed the door shut behind her and crossed her arm.
"You wanted to talk? Talk!" Brennan said in a very demanding tone.
"Tempe, honey" Sully started.
"Don't call me "honey"" Brennan said, coldly.
"Temperance" Sully started over."All the time I was away, I kept thinking about you and what a mistake it was leaving you behind like I did"
Brennan was quiet.
"This is where you're supposed to say something" Sully helped her
"What do you want me to say? 'Sully, I love you and I wish you never went away. I've barely gotten through the days without you and I want to marry you and have kids with you'? Is that what you want?"
"Maybe not exactly like that but yeah" he smiled. She didn't. "But I guess that's not going to happen anytime soon"
"Sully, you've been gone a long time. Time didn't stop when you left. I moved on and I think it's about time you did the same" she opened the door and he left.
"That's what happened" Brennan finished.
"That's um… better" Booth said
They stood quiet for a while
"Bones, I don't want to be on a break anymore" He confessed
"Me neither"
"So…" he held out his arms "Officially not on a break?"
"Definitely" she took the hug he offered her.
"Booth" Brennan said into his chest.
"Mhmm" his face was buried in her hair
"Aren't you missing something?"
Booth didn't get what she meant. He went over the whole thing in his head. He went over it twice. He went over it a third time. When he was on time number four, he got it.
"Bones, if you say you only did this as a test to see if you could trust sweets and it had nothing to do with anything we planned about pretending you were pregnant…"
"It was"
"…does that mean you're…pregnant? For real?"
She looked up at him and smiled.
"Seriously!?"
"Yeah" she smiled "Seriously"
He lifted her up and spun around, laughing of happiness. This attracted a lot of viewers but Booth didn't care. When he finally let her down, he embraced her and wouldn't let go.
"You have no idea how happy this makes me" he said, smiling. The he came to think of something and he just had to ask her "You didn't just get back together with me because you're pregnant, did you?"
"Booth, you really think I wouldn't be able to raise a child on my own?"
"Well…" Booth didn't really think how he was going to answer her. "I guess you could"
"Good" She smiled "I got back together with you cause I love you"
"That's good to hear, Bones" Booth said "Cause I love you too"
Booth placed his arm around her neck and started walking.
"Bones, what do you want to name the baby if it's a boy?"
"You want to discuss that now?"
"Yeah" he was enthusiastic.
"I don't know. How about you?"
"I think I like the name Isaac. What name do you like if it's a girl?"
"I like the name April" Brennan didn't even stop to think
"That's cute. But you know that one of Epps's victims names, right? And Sweet's ex-girlfriend?"
"I know. I though Sweet's April was really nice though. And besides, it's not Sweet's baby, right?"
"I guess. But what if it's twins?"
"Booth!" Brennan whined "Can't we just wait?"
"For what?"
"The baby. Can't we just wait with all the naming and everything until the baby's born. We have nine months to decide what names we like, can't we just wait a bit?"
"Sure" she gave her a squeeze-hug. "You hungry?"
"Starving"
"Let's go to the diner" he said and turned around with Brennan, steering her in the opposite direction, towards the diner. "So, since we can't play the pregnancy-scheme on Sweets any time soon, what do you think our next project should be?"
