I'm Back

A/N: Thanks so much for the reviews everybody! I'm happy to announce that Dr Goodman will be returning to the Jeffersonian…at least in my story he will! Thanks again!

Disclaimer: I do not have any rights to the characters of Bones however, Emma Booth is my creation.

Chapter 3: Internal Fighting

"A month and a half, my foot!" yelled Sully.

"It's true though," said Booth.

"Like hell! You were just waiting for me to get out of the picture before you took her to bed!"

"Not true Sully and you know it!"

"Agent Booth, I can hear you from my office," said a deep male voice. Sully and Booth turned and were met with the sight of Dr. Goodman.

"Sir, I'm terribly sorry about this, but you see, Mr. Sullivan here, former FBI Agent, was away and unreachable for a year and previous to that had been dating Dr. Brennan. He came back, intending to pick up where they off and found her engaged to me."

"Thank you for that synopsis Agent Booth however, Mr. Sullivan the next time you come into this building please do not insult my staff in unimaginable ways. Especially those you used to date, calling them sluts." Sully bowed his head.

"Yes sir, Mr.…" Sully trailed off.

"Dr. Goodman."

"Yes sir, Dr. Goodman." Goodman nodded and then turned to Booth.

"Now Agent Booth. I believe I was invited to a party?" Booth grinned and the two went back into Brennan's office.

"Booth!" cried Brennan. She threw herself into his arms and nearly knocked him over.

"Hey, hey, easy there Bones," he said to her. "It's okay."

"We could hear everything and Sully…I'm so sorry Seeley."

"Hey, hey, it's not your fault." Brennan buried her face in Booth's chest and cried. "It's okay. We're gonna be okay."

"Hey!" cried Hodgins. "Isn't this supposed to be a party?"

"That's what the invite said," added Goodman.

Brennan smiled and said, "I think we can live up to the invitation."

While the party continued inside, outside the office stood Sully. He was fuming and he was feeling excluded. He had never been excluding from Brennan's office. Never. He turned around and storming out of the Jeffersonian. He'd get her back. He'd get her back from Booth even if it were the last thing he did.
