Bones Sister // Jack Hodgins

"Therefore I am king of the lab." He said. I chuckled and and Dr.Addy left to tell Temperance of Jacks findings.

I felt Jacks gaze on me continue.

"You know it's impolite to stare." I said and looked over at him.

"I didn't know you were coming back." He said coming closer towards me. If I was going to be completely honest I was still a little weary he would hurt me again. So I was tense as he came forward.

"Well, I can't live on a couch for the rest of my life so ya, I'm back." I said. He nodded.

"Well uh, it's.. it's good to have you back." Jack said and turned back to his office. I sighed and looked back down and the skeleton and studied it. For hours on end I looked at it. Looking at every inch of it to see what I could have missed.

"Naomi." I heard Jacks voice. I looked up at him.

"Yes?" I asked.

"It's 8 o'clock, do you uh, do you need a ride back to Booths?" He asked. He seemed hurt that I wanted to be there. But in fact it was the opposite.

"No actually.. I was uh.." I felt so nervous just trying to say I wanted to come back.

"No I'm going to walk." My mouth said before my brain could register what I said. He looked down and nodded leaving. I hit my hand on my forehead. Stop Him!

"Wait no Jack!" I called out and walked closer to him. He stopped.
"No that's not what I want, I don't know why I said that. I want.. I want to come back.. home with you." I said. I looked down at my hands and then back up to see his reaction. All he did was smile and nod. I picked up my bag and walked with him back to his car. We got in and drove back home in silence. Which was quite comfortable.

When we got back I saw the house was a lot messier than it usually was.

"Sorry about the house I haven't really cleaned in a while." He said picking up some of the trash. It was because of me. I thought.

"It's ok. I'm just going to go to my room for a second." I said and went back to my room, before I had moved into his. The sheets were messy and some picture of Jack and I on the bed. It was of the time we spent Christmas together, he kissed my cheek and I took the picture. I smiled at it and set it on the side table. Jack was in the entrance of my room.

"Ya I kinda staying in here for a while after you left. Sorry about the sheets." He said. I smiled at him.

"It's ok, I'm just surprised you still have this picture." I said showing it to him. He blushed.

"Ya well I kept all of the pictures you took of us." He said rubbing his neck. I smiled.

"I'm going to go to bed, I'll see you in the morning, possibly it is Friday and Saturday we have off so-"

"I know what day it is Jack." I said and he smiled and nodded.

"Right. Well goodnight." He said. I told him goodnight and changed into some of my pajamas and pulled up my covers going to sleep.

WhAt I didn't count on was the thunderstorm that decided to roll up in the middle of the night. I woke up to the sound of cracking thunder and lighting flashes. I couldn't sleep. I stayed up and sat there wondering how Jack could sleep through this. I heard another boom of thunder and I jumped.

That's it I can't deal with this. I got up and upended my door, Jacks room was across the hallway. I slowly opened his door and slipped in closing it. He was passed out. One side was thankfully big enough for me to slip in. I got under the covers and jack moved a bit. His face was close to mine. His eyes slightly cracked open.

Naomi? What's wrong?" He asked immediately waking up sitting up. He had no shirt on. Thank the dark he couldn't see my blush.

"Nothing, nothing I just couldn't sleep so I thought I could.. never mind I'm sorry for waking up." I said getting up. His hand rested on my hand.

"No no.. it's ok really." He said and I laid back down. He looked at me as we laid there.

"Are you ok?" He asked. I nodded.

"Now I am." I said and turned my back to him and closed my eyes hoping I sleep. But the next thing I knew Jacks arms took my waist and pulled me close to him.

"I won't let the thunder hurt you." He whispered and I smiled to myself and closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up I saw Hodgins still asleep. I giggled and got up to get some food. I made a pot of coffee. I turned on the tv and watched cartoons. This is it. My new life. Me Hodgins and possibly a new baby Dunn img around. Who knows?
