Update! Sorry to anyone who read this before and it made no sense! The wrong chapter 16 was attached, it had chapter 16 from The Question in the Answer which comes after this. I must have made corrections. I wondered why there were two "epilogues!"

Chapter 16.

"Well this place looks familiar." Cam said as Sweets eyes began to poke open.

"Well it is a different room." Dr. Brennan added in her logical manner. "This time Dr. Sweets did not require the same treatment as last…"

"She was being sarcastic Bones." Booth whispered and Brennan shook her head in understanding.

Sweets squeaked both eyes fully open to see Booth, Brennan, Cam, Angela and Hodgins all standing with either crossed arms or a cross look on their faces.

"Uh oh." Sweets said reading their not so subtle expressions. He sighed,
"what was I supposed to do?"

"Oh don't worry, Emma is in trouble too." Angela said tapping her foot in a "mad mommy" sort of way.

"Where is she, is she okay?" Sweets asked trying to sit up. "What was I supposed to do, she was in trouble." Sweets struggled to sit up with the now very broken ribs. The group relented their anger and cross arms unfolded to assist Sweets despite his unfounded suggestion that he could do it himself. Hodgins helped with the pillow while Cam leaned them forward. Sweets noticed it wasn't the softest of bedside manners but he was still grateful for his friends, no question needed over the word now.

"Emma is in court today." Angela said sitting down in a chair next to Sweets. Hodgins sat on the arm of the chair next to her.

"Wha-what for?" Sweets asked nervous.

"To get rid of that husband of hers." Hodgins said obviously as Brennan and Booth settled into the chair on the opposite side, same manner as Angela and Hodgins with Booth half sitting on the arm. Cam still stood with a hand on her hip.

"Oh, is she uh, coming back to work, at the FBI?" Sweets felt his cheeks turn warm as he asked.

"Yeah, she's probably back already though I said she should stop by here." Booth said casually.

"Oh, okay." Sweets said though suddenly he felt nervous about how he looked. Another thought occurred to him.

"So can I go home now?" Sweets asked gingerly looking around at the group still intent on staring at him as though they were still trying to gauge something. The room wasn't completely relaxed yet.

"I don't think so Dr. Sweets." Cam said and Sweets noticed she still had the most stiff manner of everyone, still standing with her arms crossed.

"Why, I'm sure the doctors have some pain meds and I'll be fine. I just passed out, which is sort of embarrassing." Sweets said finding the pattern in the sheet suddenly more interesting than the glares he was getting.

"Uh Sweets honey, you've been out for three days." Angela said and read Sweets surprised reaction.

"You were not in a coma." Breanna said to clarify. "It would seem that you were merely exhausted."

"Oh." Sweets said nodding his head but becoming depressed at the idea of spending more time in the hospital.

"But, we could maybe talk to the doctor." Booth said reading Sweets obvious expression. "He said you could most likely be released 24 hours after you woke up."

Sweets mood brightened and Booth exhaled inwardly that the return of Moody Sweets was not to be.

"However." Angela began and Sweets felt irritated again. "It does have to be in the care of someone for two days. Luckily, Jack and I aren't busy this weekend, so you're staying with us."

Sweets began to shake his head.

"No argument Sweets!" Angela said in such a mommy tone that Sweets immediately got quiet. "Unless you want stay here much longer."

Sweets stewed over the choice and knew he did not prefer the later.

"No way are you going back to your place. That may be the most depressing place I've ever seen." Booth said trying to be humorous but it was too true.

"No kidding. After you're better we're going to decorate that place." Angela said and the room began to have a more relaxed feeling.

"Yeah the weekend worked well for them but next week, you know Sweets, you can stay with us." Booth said somewhat uncomfortably.

"Thank you agent Booth but…"

"It's not a request Sweets. I'm telling you what our plan is." Booth said and Sweets had the distinct impression the conversation is over.

Sweets decided to accept the terms of the friendship that was being offered. And when he truly thought about it, any place was better than the gray and cream dreary world of his apartment.

"I should look at getting a new place." Sweets said with a sense of humor.

"I know someone else who is looking or a new place." Angela said with a match maker type smile and Sweets was instantly embarrassed.

"Oh Ange, stop playing match maker." Hodgins said standing up but Angela gave Sweets a wink at the idea. Sweets shook his head at the idea of rooming with Emma.

Booth and Brennan began to stand as well, ready to go.

"Sweets, we will let you get some rest but we will come by to collect you either later today or early in the morning, we'll talk to the doctor okay?" Booth said near the door.

"Yeah, thanks." Sweets said and in that one word he and Booth exchanged an expression that meant more than just a ride away from there.

Sweets looked up to see Cam was still standing as she was before.

"Is everything okay Dr. Soroyan?'

"It's Cam."

She seemed angry. Sweets tried to assess what she was angry about.

"You do know we care about you right?" He tone didn't match the sentiment as she was still annoyed.

"Yeah sure." Sweets said surprised by her question.

"Yeah sure doesn't sound like it." Cam said then sighed to release her arms as she stepped closer sitting near. "I don't think that I've always been the niecest or the most…"

"It's okay Dr. Soroy- Cam. I know. And thank you." Sweets said.

Cam smiled when she realized he did indeed know what she meant.

"Good." She said. "Because I do. We all do."

She reached over and squeezed his hand avoiding a hug that would cause more pain.

"Well, get some rest. You' look much better." Cam said leaving the room.

With everyone gone Sweets was surprised how empty the room actually felt. But it wasn't a sad and lonely empty this time.

"You do indeed look better." A voice said and Sweets looked up to see Emma standing in the door way.

"Thank you. You do as well." Sweets said remembering the last time he saw her at her apartment.

"Yeah, that was not a good day. But…"

"Are you going to apologize again?"

Emma smiled as she sat nearby as he had read her clearly.

"Don't. I'm glad that well, it sounds like things are better?" Sweets asked.

"Yes." Emma said preferring the floor tiles over Sweets imploring glances. She wondered if he always tried to read people's faces like this. She found it was impossible to lie to him, not that she wanted to on purpose. "Yes, it's getting there. Though I think I'd be happily resigned to the single life from now on." She said with humor and a sigh.

"It's not bad if there's the right person." Sweets wasn't sure if that was phycologist Sweets or Sweet Sweets talking. He felt the urge to analyze himself.

"Rest looks good on you." Emma added not liking the awkward silence. "Though it makes for dull times at the office." She kidded.

"Yeah I was out for three days." Sweets said and Emma nodded.

"Yeah, I know."

"Oh." Sweets said wondering if Booth had told her of if she had visited. "No puzzle books this time?" He asked and she smiled that he had figured out it was her last time.

"Actually…" She said pulling two out of her purse and handing to him.

"Awesome!" Sweets said looking at them. "I was so going to be so bored. If even four a few hours or so till I get to leave."

Emma smiled and got up to walk towards the door. "I'd better get back to the office."

"Yeah, thanks for coming, and bringing these!" Sweets said flipping thru the pages. "I hope to be back to the office soon."

"I hope so too." Emma said and left.
