Brennan gazed out the window of the taxi, lost in thought. Why did he have to feel, taste, and smell so good. Her body screamed out for him from the moment their hands touched. Dancing with him feeling his breath on her, his body pressed to hers was causing all her nerve endings to crave contact. When he kissed her, she could do nothing else but feel his lips against hers. She could still feel them, so warm, so tender, she shook her head. Stop thinking he is not yours to think about.

She struggled with thoughts all the way home. If she could only go to sleep maybe she could stop thinking about him. She stepped off the elevator on her floor and she started down the hall towards her apartment. She had been busy getting her keys out and once she did she looked up only to see Hannah sitting on the floor by her front door.

"Hannah" She said with a hint of annoyance to her voice

"Temperance"

"What are you doing here?"

"I want to talk to you about Seeley"

"I don't feel that I am the appropriate person for you to be talking to about Booth."

"Oh, but you are the perfect person ... since he is still in LOVE with you."

Brennan slid the key into the lock and stopped, "Hannah this is something you need to speak to Booth about, not me."

"Seeley doesn't want to talk to me, so I have no choice but to talk to you."

"I don't understand, why would Booth not want to talk to you?"

"You don't know?"

"Know what?"

"Seeley and I split up over a month ago."

Her head started spinning, had she heard Hannah correctly. Booth and her were no longer a couple. She could feel her heart racing and her breathing was coming in gasps, all she could hear was buzzing in her ears.

"Temperance" her eyes could see concern on Hannah's face and could see her lips moving, but could not hear her. "Temperance" As she stared at the young woman, she could feel herself falling and then Hannah's face faded to black.

Booth looked at his cell and ground his teeth, "Hannah, I said everything I have to say to you" he said through a clenched jaw

"Don't hang up Seeley please, it is about Temperance."

Booth heard the urgency in Hannah's voice and it kept him from pushing the end button. "What about her?"

"Seeley, I came to see her…"

"What the hell do you mean you went to see her?"

"Seeley, please listen, she passed out. We are outside of her apartment."

A wave of fear washed over Booth, "Jack tell your driver to head for Bones'."

"Booth, Cam…"

"Don't argue with me. Call Cam, tell her to meet us at the hospital. Bones passed out."

"Hannah listen carefully to me and do exactly as I say."

"Okay"

"Did she hit her head when she fell?"

"No, I caught her."

"That's good." Booth continue to give Hannah instructions over the phone to ensuring that Bones was breathing and maintaining her airway until they got there. Jack had called for an ambulance and it and the limo arrived at the same time. Booth bypassed the elevator and sprinted up the flights of stairs. He was at her side looking down at her delicate form. "Damn it Bones." He felt for a pulse, breathing a sigh of relief when he found it. He sat there and stroked her hair until the medic's backed him off so they could do their job.

He turned to Hannah as they were wheeling her out. "Thank you for calling me." She gave him a tight smile and nodded.

Brennan woke up as they were loading her in the ambulance. She looked around confused. "What happened?" her eyes found Booth as she asked the question.

"You passed out. Would you have any idea why?"

"No."

Hannah appeared at Booth's side. "Temperance I am glad you are okay?"

"You wanted to talk to me about Booth, because he wouldn't talk to you." Her eyes moved to Booth. "Why did you not tell me you and Hannah broke up?"

The air in his lungs came rushing out in one large release. He stammered, "Bones I am more concerned about you passing out right now."

"Sir we need to load her up and get her to the hospital." A young paramedic said to Booth

"Bones, we will see you at the hospital." She watched him until he turned away to head for Hodgins limo.

Hannah touched Booth's arm. "I am sorry, I hope Temperance is okay."

"Why did you come here tonight?" Booth inquired

"I wanted her to tell you there was no chance."

Booth's jaw twitched, "What?"

"After what you said at the club tonight, I was desperate. If you thought there was no chance with her you might come back to me."

"Hannah, I realized a couple of things since we split. I am still that guy that wants the family, white picket fence and all. I only want that with one person and that is Bones. I loved you, but not enough and I would have walked away eventually. I can't walk away from her; I have tried but, she is a part of me."

"Seeley ... I think I knew that, I just didn't realize it until tonight. I never once saw you look at me they way you looked at her tonight. If you would have looked at me that way just once, I might have considered being the marrying kind. The love you look at her with is the love we all dream about having one day. I hope everything works out for you two." She stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek. "Good bye Seeley" She turned and walked away.

He called after her and jogged up to her. "Hannah, thank you for being here tonight," he hugged her and then headed back to the limo. As he climbed in he found Hodgins just staring at him. "What" he said as he turned to look at Jack.

"Why didn't you say anything about breaking up with Hannah?"

"Jack we haven't exactly been talking that much."

"Did it just happen?"

"No, it was the night we put that son of a bitch away that killed Maddie." Booth was staring out the window of the limo the street lights flashing across his face.

"Why didn't you tell Dr. B?"

"Do you really think I didn't want to tell her, what was I suppose to say Hodgins? Hey Bones, Hannah and I split up and by the way I love you. Come on, Bones deserves better than that. I was so confused, here I break up with a woman I 'love' and I am not that upset about it. I don't think about it, all I think about is Bones and how to win her back, how to prove to her I love her and I am worth the risk."

"Oh so jumping in with both feet and kissing was your best idea?"

"Look I didn't plan on kissing her; I just wanted to have a dance with her. I didn't see the harm in a dance."

Jonathan and Cam were waiting for the ambulance when it pulled in. They rolled her into the Emergency Room. She was announcing to Jonathan she was perfectly fine and just wanted to go home.

"Temperance, you passed out in the hall outside of your apartment, you were out cold for several minutes. You are NOT going home until we check you out."

"Weaver, she can't remember the last time she ate."

"Agent Booth you are not suppose to be back here." Cam touched Jonathan's arm and shook her head. "Okay fine you can stay but stay out of the way."

"Bones tell him when you last ate."

She glared at Booth, "I don't know." She looked at Booth with great annoyance. "Are you happy now Booth?"

"Yeah actually I am," he smirked at her.

Jonathan looked at her, "You don't remember when you last ate?" she glanced at him and then looked down at the blanket and nodded.

"How many times have I told you that you need to eat? Forgetting to eat is just stupid and you are NOT a stupid person."

"Oh, but she can take care of herself, just ask her." Booth added with a sting to his words. Brennan passed annoyed and was now glaring at both men.

Jonathan turned and saw the glare. He chuckled which didn't help her mood any. "Temperance you can glare all you want at me, but it isn't going to work, much like I doubt it will work on Agent Booth. You are the smartest woman I know, but when it comes to taking care of yourself you are seriously handicapped." Her jaw dropped open as she watched Jonathan walk out of the room.

Jonathan came back in looking over some test results, "Temperance, this was most like caused by you not eating. Under normal circumstances you would be admitted for observation, but since I can assure that you will not be alone all night, we can release you to go home." Jonathan stated.

"I'll take her home and watch her all night." Booth volunteered

"I am the doctor here, probably better if I go with her."

"What is so hard about making sure that she eats and rests?" Booth was staring at Jonathan.

"Since it is me you two are talking about. I am perfectly fine alone."

"No you aren't!" they said in unison. Brennan pulled her lips into a tight line as she stared at both men flexing their alpha male egos.

Cam stepped between them, "Okay the testosterone levels are getting unbearable in here, so I think Angela and I will take Dr. Brennan home." She turned her deep brown eyes on Jonathan and then Booth. "I am going to sign her out. Angela either one of them try anything" she looked from one to the other again, "shoot them both."

An hour and a half later, Cam and Angela have Brennan settled in her apartment and they are discussing food options when there is a knock on the door. Angela looks through the peep hole. "Cam, Bren, you need to come see this."

First Cam looked and she dropped her head and pursed her lips together. Brennan looked suspiciously at her and then looked through the peep hole. There stood Booth and Jonathan doing their best to try to pretend the other was not there.

"Hey they come bearing food gifts. I say open the door and steal the food." Angela joked

Cam opened the door and was greeted by two 100 watt grins, "Oh no you didn't just try that one me?" Booth stopped smiling first that might earn him some points. Jonathan just looked confused, which might get him forgiven for not realizing what the heck she just said.

Booth held out his box of food, "I brought some Chinese." Cam took the box and handed it to Angela.

"I got her some ice cream, might need to put it back in the freezer for a bit before you serve it.

Cam looked from one to the other, "I know you two mean well, but neither of you will see her tonight, she needs to eat and rest. Both of you go home and maybe tomorrow you can come by." Cam started to close the door, and then stopped, "Don't get any bright ideas of guarding the front door. Go home now!"
