Chapter 28

*************************************************************

The NICU was a sterile, white wing of the hospital, with the exception of pink and blue balloons that parents had brought in for their children that speckled the walls with blotches of unexpected color. Temperance followed Hodgins through the doors and into a smaller room where they scrubbed their hands with a foamy orangish brown soap. They donned blue disposable outfits, booties, and puffy blue hospital caps to keep their hair in. Bones could feel Hodgins' excitement as he quickly outfitted and then led her into the NICU's inner rooms. Immediately, Brennan spotted familiar faces. Angela was sitting in a chair and holding a tiny infant with a blue hat, bundled in a mass of greenish cotton. Sweets stood nervously nearby, bending over her shoulder and talking baby talk to Gabriel.

Sweets looked up and saw Temperance. His smile disappeared and he grew serious as he approached her. "Dr. Brennan, how's Samuel?"

"He's healthy and alive. More than I could ask for in a million years." Temperance smiled softly.

"Awesome." He sighed and in the process his eyes seemed to shift to the back of his head. "I'm happy to hear it."

Brennan continued past Sweets and to her friend. Angela smiled. "Hi, sweetie." She then looked down and smiled a motherly smile. "Auntie Bren is here to see you."

"Oh, Ange, he's adorable!"

"Do you want to hold him?"

Bren managed to nod. Angela lifted the little boy a little in the air and Brennan scooped him into her arms. She looked down at the little boy. His dark lashes fanned over his cheeks as he slept quietly. Temperance felt a flood of emotion wash over her. It had been so long since Samuel was this age. It seemed that Sammy was the smallest person she knew, but holding Gabriel in the crook of her elbow only emphasized the fact that Sammy was quickly becoming a little boy. She shifted her eyes up to look at Hodgins, who was now holding Tempie, a curly haired little brunette with a button nose and big light brown eyes.

Hodgins moved his lips closer to Angela and kissed her forehead. "I love you, Mrs. Hodgins." He smiled. He often called her Mrs. Hodgins knowing it annoyed her, but it was more of a pet name.

Angela laughed and tilted her chin in his direction. "And I love you, Dr. Hodgins."

As Temperance held Gabe, she took in the domestic scene as one sips wine: slowly drinking it all in. Despite her desire to remain impartial, she felt an indescribable feeling of sadness.

She handed Gabriel over to his mother. "He's beautiful, Ange." She spoke softly. She leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. "I've got to go check on Samuel." That was her excuse.

"How is he?" Angela asked.

"He's well, Ange. Just take care of your little boy. I'll see you tomorrow." Temperance smiled weakly before she quickly made her way out of the hospital room and back to room 306.

Chapter 29

*************************************************************************

Temperance turned the handle slowly and walked quietly into the room. Booth didn't notice her at first. She watched him in silence. He was sitting near the bed, his chest leaning against it. His fingers swirled Samuel's hair gently and he spoke in a low tone.

"We're so happy to have you back, Sammy. Mommy and Daddy really missed you. We love you so much. You know, I don't know if your mom would have recovered if we never got you back. I don't know what I'd do if I'd lost you both."

Temperance reached back and opened and closed the door again so Booth knew she was there. He looked up and smiled. "Hey, Bones." What was that look on her face? She walked beside the bed and sat in a chair beside Seeley. She intertwined her fingers with his. He lifted her hand and pressed her soft fingers to his lips. That look still remained in her eyes. "What?" He asked softly, the corner of his lip pulled into a half smile.

"I..." She took in a shaky breath. "I love you."

"I love you, too." He never heard that too often.

"No... I, uh--" She looked down and then up again. "I love you, Seeley Booth."

Booth didnt' reply. He knew that she was trying to say something important.

"You..." She blinked away a tear. "You've always been here for me. And now you're here for us. I'm sorry..."

Booth squeezed her hand. "Why are you sorry?"

"I owe you an apology. I've always been afraid of getting too close, you know?" She spoke softly and thoughtfully. "I've pushed you away and drawn you close over and over. You should hate me." She laughed humorlessly when she spoke that last sentence.

Booth was quick to raise her chin with his finger. "I'd never hate you, Temperance. I love you. I always have. And don't you forget it."

"I shouldn't be afraid to draw close to you. You've never failed me. You're my family, Booth."

"Always will be..."

"You and Samuel and me. We're a family... What I'm trying to say is, this experience with Samuel being taken away from us... I realize he was taken from US, not me. He's ours and you're mine and I'm yours and..."

Booth looked into her eyes in that mesmerizing way that he often does, "What are you saying, Bones?"

"I'm saying... will you marry me? I know this isn't the way you wanted--I'm just--"

"Bones," He slowed her rambling. "Of course I'll marry you. But I thought you thought was just a piece of paper?"

"It's more than that. It tells the world that you and I belong together... more importantly, it tells the world that we're a family. The three of us. We're a family. We're Booths." She couldn't help but to smile with that.

Seeley pulled her close and kissed her. Then he looked back and smiled in his usual teasing manner, "I love you, Mrs. Booth."

"That's Doctor Mrs. Booth to you."
