(Memory)
Thank you for reviewing my story.
I don't own Bones.
Ooooooooooooooooooo
Sitting beside his hospital bed, Brennan listened to Booth as he murmured in his sleep. The fact that he'd mentioned her name should have been encouraging, but the fact was, he was calling her Bren and he never did that. Well, almost never. He had called her that a few times shortly after his brain surgery a few years ago and that had been the beginning of some very rough months for both of them.
"Bren."
Standing, Brennan leaned over her husband and brushed his hair from damp forehead, "I'm here Booth."
His eyes mere slits, Booth tried to focus on the face in front of him, "I . . . I wasn't sure if you were still here."
A tear sliding down her face, Brennan forced herself to smile, "Where else would I be, Booth?"
Valiantly trying to assure her, Booth moved his hand so that it touched her hip, "I'm going to be okay, Bones . . . really."
Brennan quickly wiped her hand across her cheeks and smiled, "I've told you that more times than I can count Booth. You're already improving. Did you notice that they removed the oxygen mask? You're doing much better."
Surprised, Booth moved his hand and felt around his nose. A genuine smile on his lips, Booth replied, "Thank God, I hated that thing."
Kissing his cheek, Brennan rubbed his arm, "They moved you out of ICU too. You're in a private room."
His eyes darting around the room, he finally turned his gaze back at Brennan. "I had a dream. I think it was a dream. . . . I had it before. . . . Memory is funny, you know. I had this dream a long time ago and . . . it was so real . . . I wanted that dream to be real, but now I'm glad it isn't. I love the life we have now. I love you Bones. That Bren, she was nice, but she wasn't you. Do you understand?"
The love she felt for him was so strong, she felt almost speechless. Clearing her throat, Brennan finally spoke, "I do understand, Booth. I love you too."
His fingers kneading her hip, Booth sighed, "I love you so much, Bones. When I get out of here, I plan to prove it to you over and over again."
Chuckling, Brennan kissed him again, "I can't wait Booth."
Oooooooooooooooooooo
Any good?
