Hey, sorry it took me so long to update, but I wanted to make this last chapter good. I know it's short, but I hope that you like.
Booth and Brennan sat in their normal position on Sweets' couch, just in case somehow the psychologist hadn't heard about their relationship. Sweets eventually came in, and sat down across from them. He looked at them, waiting for one of them to begin to talk.
"So, either of you want to talk about what happened in Agent Booth's office yesterday?" Sweets asked, after a few moments of silence.
"No." The two voices answered as one. The agent and anthropologist slid closer to each other on the couch; Booth grabbed Brennan's hand.
"Seriously? You two have been dancing around each other for years, and when you finally get together, you don't want to talk about it?"
"Right," Booth answered. Sweets let out a sigh.
"Okay, well… Have you met Dr. Brennan's grandfather yet?" Unbeknown to Sweets, that was what they wanted to talk about even less.
"Grandfather?" Booth looked at Brennan.
"Abe didn't like how he acted as a father, so he asked me to call address him as my grandfather since his children's grandfather did a good job of raising them," Brennan replied, squeezing Booth's hand.
"Wait, did Abe abandon his kids?"
"Yes."
"And then he took in a girl who had also been abandoned by her parents?"
"Yes."
"How long have you known Mr. Hartell abandoned his children?" Booth and Brennan looked at each other. They had both realized Sweets didn't know Booth's connection to Abe, so they were debating informing him or not.
"I have known his children were abandoned for years, but only the details recently."
"How did you react when you found out about his past?"
"She ran off," Booth answered.
"I did not! I went back to the lab and got Angela and Cam's perspective on the situation."
"So, you only found out about his past in the past four years or so."
"Yes. It definitely has placed strain on our relationship."
"So, you and Abe still don't talk about it?"
"We did this past visit more than we have in the past fifteen years."
"And what brought up the conversation?" The agent and doctor looked at each other again.
"Should we tell him?" Brennan asked Booth.
"I don't really want to. But he'll probably find out eventually since you told all of the squints."
"What? I didn't tell Hodgins or any of the graduate students. Angela or Cam did."
"Hey, guys, remember when I told you that you would ignore people because it helped you bond? You're doing that again," Sweets complained. He knew he shouldn't, but he couldn't help it.
"Either way, you told some of the squints and eventually Daisy will find out, and then we'll have to talk about why we didn't tell him," Booth told Brennan, completely ignore Sweets comment. They both looked at Sweets.
"Booth attacked Abe," Brennan answered Sweets previously asked question.
"Bones! That's not how you tell him!"
"Why did you attack him?" Sweets asked completely in shock.
"I thought he was going to hurt Bones."
"Why?"
"Because I know that he liked to beat on kids, and if he got drunk enough he could try and hit anyone," Booth answered Sweets question.
"So, he reminds you of your father, so you attacked him."
Booth checked his watch, the session still had a while. Booth placed his hands in his pocket, and played with its contents. "It was a little more than looking like my old man, Sweets." His phone began going off. "Booth… Yes, sir… We're on our way." He clicked the hang up button and his phone and turned to Brennan. "We've got to go," he told his partner as he stood up.
"Wait, Agent Booth, what do you mean by that? About Abe Hartell?"
"He's my dad," Booth answered, rushing Brennan out of the room. The door shut on Sweets' baffled expression.
Outside of the office, Brennan turned to her partner. "So, where's the body?"
"What body?" Booth asked back with a smile. "I was playing with my phone and set off a ringtone."
So overall good? bad? okay? Review?
