Part 5: Enjoy!
"Booth, I'm sorry that you're so sad" Brennan whispered, still hugging him.
"It's Ok, we'll get out of here."
"No… I mean from what happened between us."
Booth was quiet.
Brennan broke the silence a while later "Are آپ asleep?"
"No." was all he could answer.
"Do آپ want me to leave آپ alone?"
"No." Booth belived that he was مزید confused than Brennan. She let go of him to look at his expression; she didn't need to feel better to realise the expression on his face.
"Booth, I never wanted to hurt آپ like this, I hate seeing آپ so sad."
"No, Bones, it's not your fault. It's my own."
"Ok, I don't want a baby" she told him. Booth's hurt expression turned into one of surprise. "I believe that it would make آپ uncomfortable, and I don't want to do that to you."
"Why don't آپ get another donor?" he asked, staring at his feet, and then at her.
"I don't want a baby with any other father for the time being." she explained, but she was smiling, so Booth wasn't sure if he should take this seriously.
"Alright, we'll talk about this later." he decided out loud, but Brennan took a step towards him.
"What if there is no later? I don't want to end my life and yours without knowing that I've made آپ happy."
"Bones, آپ being alive makes me happy, and if آپ don't get better, آپ will not male me happy, so step away so I can find a way to - step back Bones, you've gotta step back." He didn't mind about now, he worried about later, when Brennan did get better and decided to slap him again like she had all those years ago. She was the one who had decided against a different outcome, and he had believed that it wouldn't be the same. But now he saw that she was right.
Booth was pushing her away gently when Cam opened the hatch.
"Oh god, I'm interrupting something, aren't I?" she gasped. Booth jumped up and away from Brennan, and gave her a sideways glance.
"No, Cam, آپ didn't interrupt anything, we were just-" he was interrupted سے طرف کی a thud as Brennan fell over. He bent down to pick her up and looked purposefully at Cam.
"The ایمبولینس is on the way… ambulances; Angela whacked one of the men round the head with a mannequins arm. And Hodgins also had trouble controlling his emotions…" she grinned.
"Wow, the revenge of the squints… help me out here Cam" Booth hoisted Brennan up and supported her towards the ladder that Cam lowered down.
"Where are they all?" Booth asked as soon as they were out of the hole and sitting on Brennan's sofa. Brennan was smiling at Cam, who was holding an icepack to her head, making Cam uncomfortable.
"In Angela's office, guarding the men. Actually, the museums' caretakers… the were pissed of from not being paid… and when one of their children got murdered-"
"You mean the seven سال old boy?"
"Yes… the father just went bonkers. His older son is here too. Angela feels sorry for them now."
"I bet she wishes she hadn't hit one of them around the head."
Cam smiled. "Actually, she doesn't." Booth smiled too. Brennan wasn't smiling now though, she was looking at the ceiling.
"Ok Cam, lets get her to the entrance" Booth said. Booth lifted her into his arms while Cam tagged along behind him, feeling useless. "I'll take… her bag."
"Put me down!" Brennan protested, hitting his chest.
"You know what Bones? You're really making this difficult for me."
Angela came running towards them. "Oh Sweetie, are آپ all right?" she asked Brennan, adding herself to the small pack of people walking towards the entrance.
"He won't put me down!" Brennan exclaimed.
"Oh… um… but you're going to the hospital" Angela comforted her.
"Oh, we are?" Brennan accepted it. "Ange, where are we going?". Now Angela looked scared.
"This is really bad." she کہا to Booth as they hurried along. "Sweetie, we're going for dinner, all of us together, Ok?"
"Ok." Brennan stopped talking and started staring at Booth half-heartedly, her eyes closing.
"Sweetie, don't آپ dare go to sleep!" Angela started clapping in Brennan's face.
The doctors and FBI all came rushing in at once. Some paramedics put Brennan on a stretcher and others went to get the captors, along with the Agents.
The three of them watched as Brennan got wheeled off, waving, Cam comforting Angela. "She'll be fine سے طرف کی tonight, concussions are easily treated."
Sweets, Hodgins and Wendell came rushing towards them.
"I found out who the killer was!" کہا Sweets, delighted with himself.
"I helped" added Hodgins.
"Me too" added Wendell.
"What- Oh! The murder." Booth's mind was following Brennan.
"We interrogated the men and-"
"Sweets, squints don't interrogate." Booth reminded him.
"Well, we did."
"And it rocked." کہا Hodgins. "Sweets and I did the whole 'Good cop - Bad cop' thing. Guess which one I was."
"No." Booth کہا firmly, causing Hodgins to let go of his shoulder.
Sweets carried on. "It was the brother. And it was an accident." he added as he saw the look of horror on Angela's face.
They watched the Agents that had arrived take the son and father, along with another few men, away in handcuffs, tears, flowing down the son's face.
Angela couldn't take it anymore. "Ok, I'm going with Brennan." she کہا as she left.
Sweets sighed. "It's been another one of those nights in which, I don't get any sleep." he کہا frustrated.
"Why, what time is it?" Booth asked.
"Half past seven." Wendell told him.
"Sweets, go ہوم and sleep." Booth ordered him.
Sweets scowled. "You have spent too much time together." he said, pointing at Booth and Cam. "You can't order people what to do."
Wendell sympathised. "Come on, I'll take you."
He gave up. "I just want آپ all to know that I can drive." he clarified before leaving with Wendell. Hodgins waited for them both to leave before announcing his departure too.
Cam and Booth were left there alone, so they went for a drink, seeing that neither of them was tired.
"Seeley…" Cam began as she sipped at her coffee.
"I know, I know" Booth stopped her.
"Do you?" She sighed and carried on. "For your information, I'm proud of you. She might be too."
Booth looked down, and then at her. "I just don't think I can take this anymore."
Cam looked at him, sorry. "She turned آپ down, didn't she?"
Booth nodded.
"I'm sorry…"
"No, آپ don't have to be. She just didn't feel the same way-"
"Seeley; Dr. Brennan does love you. She's just afraid."
Booth smirked awkwardly. "Afraid of what?"
"You know that she's been abandoned سے طرف کی everyone who has ever loved her, یا سے طرف کی everyone she has ever loved; she is playing it safe, she's happy with what she has with you. She doesn't want to loose you. I think آپ should respect her decision for the time being, hang on. When she's ready, you'll know."
"You think that I should just wait, pretend that there's nothing wrong?" He sighed. "There's only that much that I can take."
"Well, at least try to forgive her. It's not entirely her fault. She doesn't know any other way."
Booth looked at Cam, and realised that she was right, remembering all the things that Brennan had said.
I can't change, I don't know how… it's آپ that needs protecting, from me… I don't have your kind of open heart.
"You know what Cam, you're my saviour."
Cam smiled. "Yet آپ don't hear me bragging about it."
