This is a fic that would take place had Brennan decided to go with Sully. It goes to the Tracy Lawrence song called Is That a Tear I Hear in her Voice.

I don't own Bones or the Song. Please let me know what you think!

Booth comes home after a hard day of work. He had missed a couple calls during the day from numbers he didn't recognize so he decided to listen to his messages. The first message he had shocked him.

Last thing I expected

Was to get her call tonight

Cause the last thing that I heard from her

She found "Mr. Right"

But when I came home this evening

There it was on my machine

And I'm just wondering what the hell it means

He listened to the message she had left. Why is she calling me? I thought she was so happy with Sully. She has no right to just call out of the blue after she has been gone for six months.

Said she said she's sorry that she missed me

And she's been doing fine

I'd run it back and heard her say

Those words a hundred times

Something makes me wonder

Is she happy with her choice

Or is that a tear I hear in her voice

"Hey Booth, it's me, Bones. Sorry that I missed you. I've been doing well I guess. Sorry to bother you, I will just talk to you some other time. Bye Booth."

Booth was furious that she would have the nerve to call him after she was the one that took off with Sully. Something made him play the message again. The second time he really listened to how she was saying the words. Not just what she was saying.

First time that I listened

I thought boy shes got some nerve

But the second time I heard it

I heard more then just her words

Did she really sound sad or is that my imagination? What does this mean? Why would she be calling me now?

Am I just wishful thinking

Or did her voice really crack

I'll never know

If I don't call her back

Should I call her back? Or just let it go? Is she happy with Sully?

Booth stares at his phone for a moment he replays that message over and over again.

Said she said she's sorry that she missed me

And she's been doing fine

I'd run it back and heard her say

Those words a hundred times

Something makes me wonder

Is she happy with her choice

Or is that a tear I hear in her voice

He gives in and calls the number back.

"Brennan"

"Hey, it's Booth."

"Hi, I'm glad you called me back"

"Well I hadn't heard from you and so I thought I would call and see how you were."

"I'm fine Booth."

There it is again, her voice did crack. I knew I heard it.

"Bones, you aren't fine….let's talk."

Oh is that a tear

Lord is that a tear I hear in her voice

'I miss you Booth."

"I miss you too."
