thanks for reviews!
i love reading what you guys think and dont worry booth would have is own POV very soon...like next chapter soon lol!
oh and i do not own Bones!
Today was the day! She was originally going to leave Sunday like planned but of course Angela convinced her to stay for an ultrasound appointment. The fetus was doing quite well and its bone structure was developing accordingly. She and Angela still debated whether or not it was a baby.
"Thanks for letting me come Angela", Bren said as she embraced her friend.
"Anytime Sweetie! You know you don't really have to leave, right", Angela cried.
"Yes, I do but I will keep in touch and be back for the arrival of the fetus", she exclaimed.
"Baby", Angela countered.
"Baby", Bren agreed. They both smiled at the other sadly.
"Are you sure you don't want to stay", Ange tired again.
"Ange I have a book to promote. I am a strong independent woman. I can handle a book tour; a short one at that Anthropologically speaking its perfectly natural to not want too many changes to arise giving your state because of all the changes going on within that you that you have no control of but our friendship isn't changing Ange. Its two months".
"Sorry sweetie's hormones and all", Ange concluded.
"I believe I just said that, but I really must be going".
Angela nodded whipping her eyes. "Don't forget we love you".
It was Bren turn to get teary eyed but she kept her composure. "I know but I don't believe in love but I –I find that if I did I'll love you too."
A few hours later Bren found herself walking around the coffee cart that she and Booth usually met at. She finally decided to tell him about the tour. Needless to say he wasn't very happy. He left her under extreme protest because he was called in for an emergency meeting. She found herself drawn to the fountain thinking back to the good old days before that dreadful night at the Hoover.
"Bones".
Bren turned to look for the source and frowned. It was a school day during school hours. "Not that I'm not happy to see you because I am. What are you doing here? You are going to get into so much trouble Parker Matthew Booth", she chided.
"Cool your jets Bones; I'm on a field trip. I told them I had to use the bathroom when I saw you looking lost over here."
"I don't know what that means but if you still have to urinate than lets go find a restroom because these pleases do not have baths in them therefore should not be called that".
Parker just giggled. "Yes Dr. Bones but I have a better idea. Why don't you join us and tell the class all the interesting facts you know about the Lincoln um thing".
"I wish I could Parker but I have a plane I need to take in less than two hours. I really should get going", she said sadly.
The boys face fall much like his father's earlier when he received the sudden news of her departure. Parker hugged her tightly thinking that if he held on then she wouldn't go. This woman had been a constant in life since before he could remember. "No, I won't let you", the young Booth declared.
"You have too. It's only for a little while. I have a new book coming out", she exclaimed.
"Is this because of Hannah", he asked innocently.
"No this is because your father and I need time apart. To adjust to the way our life is now and I need to let people know about my book so they can buy it", she argued. It wasn't a lie but she couldn't tell him she was madly in love with his father who now didn't love her back the way she did him. Booth would kill her.
"Don't you love me? I missed you when you went away and you just got back. It's not fair", he pouted.
Bren wiped the boy's check tenderly giving him a little pinch. To a person looking in it looked like a mother who was reassuring her son of something. Bren heart clenched at the thought. She thought of the sibling that Parker would have had if she went through the operation. "I love you with all my heart Parker Booth. You mean the world to me. I'm only a phone call away. I will never abandon you okay. Just call me and we can talk about anything you want", she reasoned.
He smiled enthusiastically glad to know that this time he could call her anytime he wanted and that she wasn't leaving for long.
"Let's get you back to your class then shall we", she asked.
"I got it. I'm almost eleven I can do it on my own Bones. You're always saying how I'm not a baby. I'm a miss you take care of yourself Bones", he hugged her one last time and then was off on his way.
Bren watched him like a hawk as he walked away from him. She was about to go as he was almost there when he turned to look at her one last time she found a red dot on his face. Bones didn't think twice as she ran as fast as she could. "Parker move", she shouted as she heard a gun being fired in the distance.
Bren couldn't breathe. She had reached Parker just as the gun fired but she didn't know if she was too late. "Parker", she asked her force was ridged as she tried to stay calm. "Are you hurt", she asked taking deep breaths.
Wide brown eyes looked into hers laced with fear and concern. "no im not hurt but im scared".
Bren let out a sign of relief. Her knocking down Parker allowed the bullet to miss its intended target. Her partners little boy was safe. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you. Do you trust me", she asked scanning her surroundings looking for the intruder.
The little boy nodded yes.
"Close your eyes". As soon as he did Bren pulled out her own weapon and shot in the direction of the sound where she saw slight movement. "Come on lets get out of here", she said picking him up and running towards her car.
"But my class", he argued.
"They will be fine. My biggest concern is you and I am taking you to your father", she huffed out. She hurriedly opened the door and the boy swiftly climbed in the back. "Stay low Kay", she said calmly. "Tell me what you learned on the trip so far maybe Hannah and your dad can take you again".
She sped to the Hoover. She kept the conversation going to calm the boy who seemed untouched. She thanked Booth's imaginary friend for that. She kept looking at her review mirrors to make sure she wasn't being followed. They were just around the corner when another bullet was heard. She swirled the car in an attempt to dodge it but it went right through her windshield.
Parker screamed. "Im scared Mommy", he cried.
If she had more time to ponder it her heart would have swelled at the notion but she didn't. "Don't worry baby. Daddy is going to take care of us, where almost there".
She hurried into the FBI's parking lot like a mad woman, driving straight through the security check. She stopped the car and went to calm Parker down. As she climbed out of the car she was met with Agents and was finding it harder to concrete. "I'm-I am Dr. Brennan from the Jeffersonian who works with Agent Booth. We were shot and followed please get him to Booth; that's his father. The shooting was at the fountain. I – um Parker your safe now. Please take him to his father Agent Seeley Booth".
"Bones come with me", the boy pleaded.
Bones could barely stand on own two feet she was still in shock at almost losing Parker. She thought she was going to faint and she did not need Parker to see that. "Go ahead I'll be right up", she answered. He nodded a little warily and then left with the two agents.
The two Agents hurriedly took the boys to Booth's office only to find him not there but they just happened to run into sweets. They informed him of the situation left him with Sweets and informed dispatch to get a group of agents together to check out the crime scene and find Agent Booth.
Sweets took the kid to his office and watched the kid closely engaging in small talk. He took the boys jacket to hang it up while they were waiting but found a sticky wetness. He flipped the coat over and saw that the side was covered in blood. He gasped in haling sharply. He didn't see anything wrong with boy. "Are you feeling funny parks…feeling anything at all", he asked. The boy was wearing a light blue shirt that was spotless so the blood couldn't have been his.
The boy nodded a no. He was starting to get a gut feeling that something was very wrong. "Where's Bones. She should be here by now", he said fidgeting.
The young doctor didn't need a doctorate to figure out why she wasn't here and whose blood was on the little boy's coat. Dr. Brennan had been shot!
So hope it wasn't too cliche but i had a lot of outcomes and possibilities of where this story will go. So please stick around and review. Until next time!
