hey guys thanks for the reviews and alerts. Sorry for the wait life gets hecked!
I do not own bones because if i did they would of kissed and made up at his funeral.
"Booth"!
"Hey, it's me Dr. Brennan", Bones said getting into her car.
Booth was immediately on edge. She never addressed herself as Dr. Brennan on the phone with him. Sure they were a little rocky lately but Doctor…really. "No, your name is Bones', he joked but he was met with silence. He was really starting to get scared. A couple days ago he thought they were back and he could put all that stuff behind them. He even told Hannah that night the director cuts of what happened at the Hoover and after the case with the doctor including Bones' confession.
"No that's what you call me. Listen Booth, it's really important, can you meet me at our spot. I have something important to disclosure and I don't think you would feel like it is appropriate phone conversation. Can you meet me in an hour".
"Sure Bones it's not like we're not in the middle of an investigation", he joked slightly.
"Well I'm sorry I could just tell you I'm leaving for the next month on the phone. I'm really sorry- oh wait you were joking", she realized what she said and gasped.
Booth was silent. He wondered why he haven't picked up any of the signs and frowned. When was the last time he even had a meal with the woman he considered his best friend. "You're what Bones. Your right this is not just something you tell me over the phone. You have known me for almost seven years", he screamed into the receiver.
"I know you're mad but I have to go. Meet me there in an hour and we can talk than. I just reached my destination. Goodbye Booth", she said mechanically hanging up before he could argue.
Booth kept staring at the clock. He had an hour to come up with something to say to convince Temperance to stay. He needed help and sitting around for thirty minutes wasn't helping him. It was that thought that made him barge into Sweets office unannounced.
"Okay Sweets need your help", he commanded as he stepped in stopping momentary to realize that Sweets was not alone.
"Agent Booth I am in a meeting", replied an irritated Sweets.
"Well I need your help in a serial investigation. As far as I'm concerned this trump meeting", he replied just as easily. His eyes dared for the younger kid to challenge him.
"I'm sorry, can we reschedule", Sweets said apologizing to his client. The other man nodded and left while Booth grinned like a boy on Christmas. "Man that was rude even for you Agent Booth. Now what can I help you with", he sighed.
Booth flopped on the couch running a hand threw his hair and sighed deeply. He really didn't want to tell the kid anything but he was at a lost and had a good twenty minutes before he needed to confront Bones. "Bones is leaving", he stated like it explained everything.
All Sweets did was raise an eye brow.
Booth glared. The kid was wasting time. "Well", he demanded.
"Booth this has nothing to do with a serial investigation and Dr. Brennan leaving isn't exactly news. She told the team last week, I'm shocked this is our first time speaking about it. Maybe you really did move on and now it's time for Dr. Brennan to do the same."
Booth blinked. The only indication that he heard was his paling face and clenched fist. He was the last to know…seriously? Before they left he would have been the first. "What the hell is happening", he asked in disbelief.
"Well you and Dr. Brennan never had a normal partnership and now that you have someone in your life your trying to distance yourself from her subconscious because maybe if you allowed yourself to continue being close to her like before", he trailed off when Booth raised his hand.
"Pause; I came in here needing advice to get my partner from running off to god knows where…again. Not for you to determine my faithfulness to the woman I love because I would do anything for Bones. You know that! Hell the whole damn world knows that", he yelled standing up towering over the psychologist.
Sweets smirked. "Don't you mean Hannah" he asked innocently.
Booth froze considering whom that was and what he said and then frowned. "Drop it Sweets. I got to go stop Bones. I don't have time for your psycho babble soft science crap", he hissed leaving a still smirking psychologist.
He was a nervous wreck because of Bones' phone call and his outburst at Sweets. He should have known going to see the young doctor was just asking for trouble. He meant Hannah earlier hadn't he? He been parading her around for months acting as if she was the only thing that mattered; rubbing her in Bones face because if she didn't love him, he found somebody that will. Truth was she did love him and now she was leaving. He didn't know how to cope with that. He couldn't lose his best friend; his heart again.
"Booth", her angelic voice called him out of his thoughts.
"Bones", he replied hoarsely.
She handed him a cup of coffee and the two sat at their bench. Hannah and him didn't have a bench. Hannah and him didn't have anything but wild crazy sex and laughter now that he thought about it.
"Booth it's only two months and I even took your over protected issues under thought and hired a body guard for the tour", she was saying but he really wasn't listening his mind was elsewhere and she noticed. "Booth are you alright", she asked softly touching his arm.
"We just got back and you wanna up and leave again. You're just going to up and leave", he asked. The unspoken 'me' hung in the air and Bren grasped before she hid back under her facade.
"You seem to be doing well without me. You won't even notice", she assured him although her heart was breaking.
Booth laughed a bitter sweet laugh. "Hardly, Bones I always notice".
She shrugged non-commercially. "Let's face it Booth everything don't last forever. Our lives are changing were both going down different paths', she said.
"Bones I'll leave Hannah. Just don't go", he argued.
"Booth I don't want you to do that. You love her; you're happy. Maybe I'm incapable of love"
He looked sick. "No, no that isn't true. Bones that isn't true at all", he argued.
"Then maybe others are just incapable of loving me" she said meekly.
"Bones", he tried to say something but his phone started ringing. They Booth knew that tone. It was his job. They had a case.
"You should get that".
Booth ignored it staring intensely in her eyes pleading.
"Just go Booth. Just let me go", she reached over and took his phone. "This is Agent Booth's partner Dr. Brennan", she answered when Booth just seemed frozen. "Yes sir he's on his way. One of my interns will accompany him".
"Bones", he started again only to be cut off again. She started informing him on the case. She practically shut down and forced him to leave.
"When do you leave", he asked changing tactics.
"In four hours", she stated.
Booth cursed this case could take all night. He abruptly pulled her into one of their guy hugs. "Oh god, that's not enough time", he strained. "It's just not enough time Bones".
"Booth time is infinite and you aren't talking to god your talking to me", she said as she allowed herself to be trapped in his warm embrace.
He inhaled deeply. He couldn't remember the last time they were this close. He missed it. "Bones I swear to you that I will find you no matter where you are if you're not back in a month and I will be at that airport convincing you to stay", he vowed and her heart swelled.
"My trip is for two", she said confused.
His phone rang again and he cursed silently. "I need to go", he breathed into her hair.
"Then remove your arms and walk away", she stated sadly.
The crime scene was a bust. It didn't help that he left early so he could take care of a few things. God he loved Cam. She practically threw him into his car after he asked the initial questions.
"Roll it all to the lab', she ushered making it clear that his part was over and to go get her anthropologist back.
He had one more pit stop to make on his way to the airport. He had about two hours left, luckily Hannah's job was in route and he was using sirens. He parked his car in the non parking spot because it was the closest to the door and rushed in the building to the receptionist desk.
"Hi, I'm FBI and I'm looking for Hannah Burgely", he said tensely. Ever minute counted.
She hurried and went to get her. Next thing he knew Hannah was in front of him. She looked scared and then relieved when she saw him.
"'Seeley, you almost gave me a heart attack. I thought something happened, I'm glad you're ok", she smiled kissing his lips and he broke off the kiss.
"Something did happen. Hannah I need to know that this thing you and I have is worth it because I've been telling everybody I love you and you know me. I want kids, marriage the whole package I need to know that I'm not losing everything for nothing. I need to know that you love me past the moon. I'm not asking you to marry me now but sometime soon and I need to know if you're in for this'.
"Seeley can this wait. I'm at work", she said looking around nervously. She knew she was stalling for time and gulped at the look of determination on his face. "I need time to think can we talk when I get home".
"Hannah it isn't that complicated. It's either you love me or you don't. "
'I do love you Seeley", she said cupping his face.
'I'm sensing a but", Booth said bluntly.
"But I need time", she said sadly.
Booth let go of her. "I'm all out of time", Booth told her honestly.
"What does that mean", she asked.
"I need to go get something important back. I'm sorry but I have to go", he said turning and running out the door.
"Seeley", she called after him. She had a feeling things were over between them but she knew their story wasn't over. He never turned back and for the first time in a long time Hannah shed a tear over a man.
Booth arrived at the airport with forty minutes to spare. He flashed his badge to anyone and everyone on his way to Bones shuttle. He looked around and frowned. She wasn't there. Maybe he was too late. He went to ask an attended and he was assured that she did not board any planes and that her flight left in twenty. He paced the section glancing at his watch. He had a bad feeling about this. He rung her but she didn't pick up. The flight attend was now calling for the last time when his phone rang. "Booth", he answered.
"Where are you? You need to get to the Hoover right now. Like yesterday now", Sweets ranted into the phone before realizing he was probably making Booth extremely alert.
"Sweets what's wrong. Is it Bones", he asked swallowing the lump in his throat. He started to make a hearty exit. "Sweets answer me", he demanded into the phone as he made it to his car in record time and the man still hadn't answered.
"Well Agent Booth the good news is that we have your son here and he is completely unharmed and oblivious to what happened to him".
"Booth head was spinning. "What Parker? He was on a field trip- is he okay. Does Rebecca know…what happened", Booth was trying not to panic. It was a task that he was failing miserably at as he had the steering wheel in a death grip. He was at least 30 minutes away.
"Agent Booth thanks to Dr. Brennan he is fine. They were involved in a shooting. The guys investigating the scene said that Dr. Brennan was able to fire arms on him and he not only left his weapon but we also have some blood dropping on the man responsible."
Despite his self Booth smiled, but something wasn't adding up." Why isn't Bones telling me this? This is our- um this is Parks were talking about. She would have told me herself but you're telling me. Where is she?"
Sweets hesitated. "I think that part of information is best told when you're not driving at 100 miles an hour", he stated. "Just get here, your son needs you".
"Sweets, listen kid if you don't tell me what I need to hear. I will shot you as soon as I see you. Now spill".
"Dr. Brennan was shot in efforts to protect Parker. She took the bullet meant for him. The security downstairs said she didn't even realize it until she had Parker here safely. She then insisted on driving herself to the hospital because it was only a flesh wound. Agent Booth that was over an hour ago. We double checked the closest hospital and there are no patients under the name of Temperance Brennan registered.
"Why", Booth trailed off. His partner was shot and missing. He felt his heart stop and momentarily so did the car.
He was really happy that every car was out of his way anyways because of the sirens that haven't been turned off in four hours. He didn't know how he got to the Hoover. All he knew was that Parker flung at him as soon as he saw him. He vaguely remembered seeing Rebecca there while he hung to his son like a life line.
"Agent Booth, they need you at the Jeffersonian. Don't worry your son and his mother is being placed in protected custody until this is over." He nodded numbly.
"Daddy how comes Bones haven't come back yet", his son asked.
Booth hated lying but there was no way he wanted to tell his son this. "She told you bout her book right Bub", he asked and Parks nodded. "Well she had to go do that and she was running really late. But you know how much we love you right", he asked.
Parker smiled. "Yup i know and Dr. Bones loves us too. She told me so", Parker stated really proud of himself.
"God I'm so happy you're safe", he said hugging his son before kissing the top of his head and letting go of him. Holding him at an arm's length he checked for any injuries pulling him back into a hug.
Today started out as a wreck when he was trying to get Bones to stay. Now he just prayed she was still alive.
Yea...between the appointment with Angela and meeting Parker is when bones finally told him she was leaving. In chapter 4 i said that chapter 5 was going to be Booths POV. Sorry for the confusion. she met up with parker roughly an hour or so later and booth is trying to be on bones time line to stop her from catching the plan. of course she dont show up because of what happened. o
