Automatically Brennan jumped from the couch and answered the door, she smiled at Booth "Hey" she said quietly and helped take the Thai food to the coffee table.
He smiled back. "Hey yourself." She was dressed in a singelt and jeans, her hair tied in a ponytail, two strands framing her face. Darn, she sexy. He thought, then mentally slapped himself. She's your partner!
He followed her in and helped her set up. He took out the meals and handed her her own things. Then he started eating. After a few moments, he asked gently "So, do you wanna tell me why you can't sleep?"

"So, do you wanna tell me why you can't sleep?"
Brennan shuddered and ate a piece of her chop suey and answered mumbling "Mental images reminding of past occurrences" she said not wanting to say 'dreams' "and being away from you, like every night, you hunky guy" her mind said over-dramatically. She sat back and looked him purposely in the eyes "and you?" she said almost silently.

Brennan answered mumbling "Mental images reminding of past occurrences"She sat back and looked him purposely in the eyes "and you?" she asked almost silently.
He nodded. "Pretty much the same. I keep having nightmares about my past years as a sniper. Did you know I killed 49 people, but I remember every name, every face?" He shook his head. "I still can't believe I'm going back." He said.
As much as he hated to admit it, in a way he was glad Bones was coming. As much as he didn't want her to be part of the war, he knew she'd make it easier for him to get through. "But it's only for a few months."

"Pretty much the same. I keep having nightmares about my past years as a sniper. Did you know I killed 49 people, but I remember every name, every face?" He shook his head. "I still can't believe I'm going back."
Temperance nearly choked on her food "49, faces, names, Booth, Don't go back, you... me.. well" she sighed "We have to frigging go!".
"But it's only for a few months."
"Months" she really did choke "I'm fine, just... how many people do you... have to" she frowned and nearly cried for him "kill?" she asked softly not wanting push the mark, she swallowed down her food.

"Months" she really did choke.
"Bones, are you okay?" He asked, concern etched in his voice.
"I'm fine, just... how many people do you... have to" she frowned and nearly cried for him "kill?" she asked softly.
His face was grim. "I don't know yet Bones. I don't know." He
has always said that his sniper days were the worst of his life. But he knew he had to go. They both did.
He changed the subject. "So, how's Sully?" Even though Sully had left, he figured she still was in touch with him.

"I don't know yet Bones. I don't know."
Tempie nodded and continued eating "Booth, I want you to understand, I never think any less of you, because of the Sniper badge you carry" she smiled a piece of rice stuck in her teeth.
"So, how's Sully?"
Brennan coughed and looked at Booth "I don't know, I haven't spoken with him, personally I don't want to, he didn't take his job seriously, like some people I know" she said laughing a little at the end.

"Booth, I want you to understand, I never think any less of you, because of the Sniper badge you carry" she smiled a piece of rice stuck in her teeth.
You got a little something right there." He said, scratching between 2 teeth.
"So how's Sully?"
Brennan coughed and looked at Booth "I don't know, I haven't spoken with him, personally I don't want to, he didn't take his job seriously, like some people I know" she said laughing a little at the end.
Booth grinned. The thought cheered him up immesely, that she didn't care how Sully was. Heck, sharks could eat him and
she wouldn't know. Didn't want to know.
"Okay. So, you dating anyone else?" He asked, grinning. It was so fun to pry into her love life, mainly because she got annoyed about it. However, he usually ended up with a grduge against whoever was dating her.

Booth grinned.
Brennan leaned over and swatted his arm, a smiled on her face, she yawned slightly and listened to him continue.
"Okay. So, you dating anyone else?"
Temperance frowned "No Booth, Why do you want to know, and quit bugging me" she said almost to quick to understand "What about you?, still with anyone.. there has been a few" she said her temper rising.

Temperance frowned "No Booth, Why do you want to know, and quit bugging me" she said almost to quick to understand "What about you?, still with anyone.. there has been a few" she said her temper rising.
Booth rolled his eyes, still smiling. "Bones, I was teasing you. Relax. No, I'm not seeing anyone. I haven't since Cam." He'd broken up with Cam months ago. Single, huh? His mind processed the information, and Booth didn't like the direction of his thoughts.
He finished his meal and stole some off Bones' plate. He knew she'd swat him, but he was hungry.
Then he remembered. He was supposed to get Parker. "Oh no." He mumbled. "Bones, I have to make a call." He got up and went into the kitchen. Dialing Rebecca's number, he waited. Parker answered the phone, and Booth felt a tug at his heart. "Hey bub. Let me talk to mommy, okay?" He asked.
"Okay daddy. You can still come over tomorrow, right? We're gonna have lots of fun." Booth closed his eyes as a tear fell down. "No bub, I can't make it. I've got to go away for awhile, but I'll be back soon, okay?"
"But daddy, why can't you come over? You can leave after I go home." Parker said, and Booth felt his heart breaking. "Just, please let me talk to mommy, okay?"

Brennan relaxed back on the couch has Booth stood, she listened to what Booth was saying, she got up and walked silently over to the door, she watched him talk on the phone.
"No bub, I can't make it. I've got to go away for awhile, but I'll be back soon, okay?"
Suddenly Bones got the feeling they wouldn't be coming back, she shook it off and wiped the tears from her eyes, very quietly so she didn't give her cover away.
"Just, please let me talk to mommy, okay?"
She couldn't take it any longer, straight after Booth placed his hand on the bench to balance himself, she walked over and laced her fingers through his and whispered in the un-phoned ear "We'll see him, before we go Booth, I can stop the flight.. if I have to" she leaned her chin on his shoulder.

He smiled at her and whispered 'thank you.'
Parker had handed the phone to Rebecca. He told her abut the situation, and agreed to let him see Parker before his flight.
When he hung up with her, he turned to Bones, who was still leaning on his shoulder. "That was a great idea Bones. Thank you."
They talk for awhile, and before long Booth started toget tired. But he stayed for Bones, because he wanted to remember this night forever. By this time tomorow, he'll have killed another man.

"That was a great idea Bones. Thank you."
Bones Snapped back to reality and quickly unlaced her hand and pulled back, but she didn't blush, but she did stutter a large amount while they were talking, her mind returning to his warmth.
Brennan turned to Booth, while they were talking they moved back to lounge, she looked at and Yawned "Where are you going to.. sleep?" She looked at the couch then the time 3:02 "Booth, you are going to need more sleep then, me, take the bed, no arguments" she smiled and leaned on the arm on the couch.

She looked at the couch then the time 3:02 "Booth, you are going to need more sleep then, me, take the bed, no arguments" she smiled and leaned on the arm on the couch.
Booth started to protest, but she cut him off. So, he took the bed, his mind thinking 'You could both sleep in it, there's plenty of room.' He once again scolded himself.
But there was plenty of room. He walked out to the loung, where Bones was lying. "Bones, you know, you really shouldn't sleep there, it is your house after all. Look, the bed's plenty big, and we're both responsible adults, right? Why don't we both take the bed, we're both going to need as much sleep as possible." He prayed that he wouldn't get slapped.

Temperance turned over a little surprised "Booth, your a guest..." she was cut off by her yawn "But I guess so" her eyelids closed and her hand automatically made contact with his face in a slapping motion, he could easily catch it, for she has just fallen asleep.

She had been asleep when she slapped him, but he couldn't catch it because he was busy trying not to let her fall. Lifting her into his arms, he caried her into the bedrom.
Being as much of a gentleman as possible, he threw a nightgown he found over her head, then hesitated and unbuttoned her jeans. Removing them, he tried to be as much of a gentleman as possible. He knew when she woke up, she would kill him when she realized he'd taken off her jeans, but she'd be much more comfortable.
Tucking her into the bed, he climbed in next to her and whispered "Goodnight Bones." And, next to his partner, sleep came easily for him.
