Bones; Her story. (On hold)

Chapter sixteen

The anthropologist woke to a slight whimper coming from the left side of her high top bed. She leaned up in search of her foster daughter and rubbed her crest eyes. She scanned the area around her not becoming aware that Piper was no longer in the bed.

"Piper baby. What's wrong?" Brennan was in full on mommy mode. She leaped from her position to become face to face with the one she called Piper. Pipers face was barried in her arms with her arms on top of her brused legs, Brennan had noticed all the marks and bruses all over the child body, she had seen similar bruses on herself while she was growing up

"Baby talk to me." pipers head lifted up slowly.

"I got scared. The man was chasn me and he-" she was cut off by her tears becoming into deep sobs. She couldn't control the fear that had become in her, even though it was a dream, no a nightmare the little girl couldn't understand it wasn't real.

"Shh baby, come here mommys got you." Brennan reached her arm around the small girl and pulled her into her lap. She rubbed small soothing circles on the arm Brennan had saw a long scar that could easly be seen. "It was just a dream baby, I got you now." Piper barried her face into her fosters moms chest.

Piper had fallen back to sleep within ten crucial minutes. Easing up the side of the bed with the resting Piper in her arms, Brennan sighed softly. It was 7:56 am and she was ready to get her day started.

Mondays weren't her favorite but she still got up at the same time, it was just the sound of the word Monday that made her cringe. She had tooken off for a while, a month and a week, the day Piper arrived saying she needed time for the little girl to adjust to everything that was happening.

She layed the restless child back down in her original sleeping position and covered her back up. She watched the little girl snuggle closer to the blanket for better comfort, something she did when she got a little lonely. Today she had to assemble Pipers bed, she thought about the struggle she was going to face today, Pipers room was left to dry fully yesterday and should be dry now.

Brennan scooted over to her other nightstand and looked down at her phone. The little round button was flashing green, notifying her that she had a message. She picked it up and pressed the home button, her smile grew as she saw the name.

"Hey bones, how did Piper sleep last night? give me a call when your up." She smiled even harder at Booths care for the sweet girl. She quickly typed back her massage

"Just woke up, she was crying because of a bad dream. She is now asleep thank goodness. About to take a shower and I'll call you after." She hit send and walked with the phone in her hand to the bathroom parallel to the bed, she gave a glance to Piper to see if she was still asleep, which she was, she continued her stroll to the bathroom.

Her shower was took fastly. All in all it usually took her a good fifteen minutes to take a great shower, but today in only a matter of ten minutes she had a okay shower. She combed through her medium length hair with the flat brush she had bought for Piper but had noticed hers was missing. She applied her facial care cleaner and brushed her teeth finishing with a good rub across her neck, given by the usual, herself.

She grabbed her phone, she had placed next to the toilet. She then walked back into the bedroom and smiled the sight in front of her was priceless. Piper was laying on Brennan's claimed side of the bed with her pillow snuggled close to her small body. Slowly Brennan made her way over to her foster daughter and placed a light kiss on her forehead. The love Brennan felt for this child was over whelming, it couldn't be described. She had been alone for so long with just her thought, now she had a beautiful foster daughter, that she planned on adopting very soon, and she couldn't forget her best friend.

She made her way to the kitchen to make breakfast for the two, when she remembered she had to call Booth, silently but quickly she created back into the room to retrieve her phone she had placed back into it's foreclosed spot.

As she walked out of the room the same way she had entered, she dialed Booths number she knew by heart, and smiled as it only took one and a half ring to hear his husky voice come through the phone, if only she could hear that voice in person.

"Hey bones," booths smile spread across his face at her promise to call after her shower. He flipped the bacon he had made for one and listened for her response that didn't come. "Bones you okay?"

Brennan snapped out of her untamed thoughts when she heard booths panicked voice. "Yes I was just preoccupied" easily translated to 'I was thinking about my life if I belonged to you.'

"Oh, so how are you planning to be Wonder Woman today to build Pipers big bed?" he used her usual Halloween costume to tease her.

"Gosh, you know booth Wonder Woman is pretty incredible. She has incredible strength and a big gun, even though the gun isn't nessasery today." he chuckled at her attempt to make a joke.

"How about I come help you?" he asked not realizing he had a job to attended to today.

"Booth you have to work, plus I couldn't ask you to do that for me after all you have done already." She desperately wanted him to come over and help but she hated him doing stuff for her, she knew if he came over to help he could be doing it all on his own. His alpha male instiks will kick in and Brennan will loose every attempt to help.

"Your right. But Cullen does owe me a few days for that assignment I did the other day. I can take the rest of the week off. What time should I be over?" she sighed knowing he had won, his smile grew as he heard her sigh of failure to continue the argument.

"I'll have Piper feed and bathed by 11:00 is that fine or too early?"

"Relax bones. It's a perfect time. I'll see you then, tell Piper I said hey, oh and gotta run. Nature is calling." his voice speeding up and Brennan heard the pan being placed in the sink.

"Bye Booth. be careful on your way over here."

"Bye bones, see you soon" he hung up and went to answer the call of another type of person

Brennan smiled as she placed the phone near the fridge. She heard the little feet hitting the cold hard wood floor, the kitchen door opened and Piper appeared in the kitchen.

"Hey baby, you ready for breakfast?"
