Chapter 12 Your Never Alone
She had told Booth when he brought her to the Airport she would be back in three months. The look on his face made it hard for her to look at him. She had been preparing him for this for the last month. Even though he was still a grad student she had been able to get Wendell assigned to Booth to take her place. She had picked Wendell because of all the interns Wendell was the one Booth got along with the best. She had spent time with Wendell making sure he knew how Booth worked and what Booth would expect him to do. She was unaware of the fact she was training him to work a crime scene as she did because it would be the easiest on Booth. She had done everything she could to make sure he would be ok while she was gone. He had her e-mail address, she would have a limited access to a web cam and they had their cell phones. She had promised to call every two or three days.
Booth used his badge to get him past the check point and they waited together in the first class lounge for her flight to be called. "Ok Bones, call me as soon as you get to your Hotel so I know you are ok. Once you get to the dig site I'll call you at 8pm your time every other night ok?"
"Yes Booth I understand, I understood it that last five times your told me since you picked me up. If you are going to continue to act like this you can leave me alone."
He looked down at his feet and mumbled something that sounded like sorry. Then her flight was called. He walked her to the gate and just as she was entering the jet way he hadded her an envelope "Bones, here read this on your way over."
"What is it?"
"Just something I think you need to know. Have a good and safe trip." He quickly kissed her forehead and turrned and left almost at a run. He needed to get away from her before his emotions betreyed him.
She looked down at the envelope in her hand and then up to his retreating back. Had he started to cry? No Booth deffinatley did not cry. She shoved the envelope into her jacket pocket and made her way to her first class seat. Once the plane was in the air she remembered the envelope Booth had handed her and pulled the crumpled envelope out of her pocket. Opening it saw it was a hand written note from Booth. She carefully smooth the paper and began to read.
Bones;
For years now we have been dancing around our personal relationship. I know how I feel, but I am at a loss to know how you feel. I decided for my own sanity I needed to tell you how I felt about you. I decided to give to you now so you can have time to think about it while you are away. Please promise you will read it all. Thank you, I heard your promise. I search the internet for something I could save to you that would let you know how I feel.
May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when it's time to go home
May you always have plenty
Your glass never empty
Know in your belly
You're never alone
I have always promised I will never leave you, well this means you'll never be alone either.
May your tears come from laughing
You find friends worth having
With every year passing
They mean more than gold
May you win and stay humble
Smile more than grumble
And know when you stumble
You're never alone
With the hell of all your friends here you have become more open and learned to express them to your friends. You have let them in and they have become your family.
Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone
This was the verse was the one I worried about the most, it is the first time I ever voiced unconditional love. You know I love you unconditionally right and not in a atta-a-girl way (that was a stupid thing to say wasn't it.) You know how much I didn't want you to go on this trip but I could never keep you from your love of old bones. I wish you weren't going away for so long, but I am sending my love for you to wrap you up in as much security as possible.
Well, I have to be honest
As much as I want it
I'm not gonna promise that cold winds won't blow
So when hard times have found you
And your fear surround you
Wrap my love around you
You're never alone
These cold winds in no way mean I would leave you (sorry that one's not negotiable), they are simply life's ups and downs. Those little things we can't avoid.
For years you have been my best friend and I hope you will always be. But I just can't pretend any more that I love you and I just can't see my life without you. I don't expect this to change your views on love, and I want you to be sure you understand my feelings in no way change our partnership or friendship. Those two things are what make me get up in the morning. My love for you just add another demotion for me.
Please understand this Temperance my love for you will not change us any anyway. You see I can compartmentalize too. I understand full well love is often a one way street and that's ok too.
I love you and be safe.
Seeley
PS Thanks' for leaving me with Wendell at least he skates.
Booth
How long she sat in thought she didn't know but when the Fight Attendant asked if she was ok her answer was a curt "yes why wouldn't I be?"
"I'm sorry Ms Brennan you just seemed a little distraught and I wanted to make sure there wasn't anything I could do for you."
As she walks away Brennan thought about what she had said. What had made the woman think she was distraught? Then Brennan became aware of the tears on her cheek. Where had they come from? Booth's letter? Why did that upset her he promised even though he loved her nothing would change. Love was a one way street; it only went one way, his to her. She thought about it. Was the only reason she was upset because his love only went one way? Did it? Finally she was forced to sit in the quiet of the airplane to reflect on her true feelings for Booth. It didn't take her long; it seems all it had taken in the end was Booth to send her a letter and some quiet. She jumped up and went in search of the Flight Attendant "You asked if there was something you could do for me? Can you …"
Here she was. She sure hoped he meant what he said. Taking a deep breath, "Seeley," his head jerked up in surprise, "what if I don't want your love, our love, to be a one way stree…" She was interrupted by the best kiss she had ever had.
The partners could vaguely hear shouts and cat calls in the back ground but they were just mildly buzzing irritants. While the bullpen looked to see who won the pool at the FBI, Charlie notified the Jeffersonian the pool was now closed all monies could be dispersed and since they had found out first the FBI had an additional $10,000 to divide. A good day had been had by all.
