Just a one shot that kinda changes up my all time favorite episode of Bones. I hope you like it. Plus this is what happens when your sitting in a theater with nothing to do for four hours waiting for the midnight showing of Harry Potter and and Deathly Hallows.


Dr. Brennan was sitting quietly in her office feeding Andy. They had just finished the case of his mother's murder. It was time to give him to social services since his mother did leave a will. Brennan refused to give him up, until she found out what his illness was. Now that she knew that Andy would be fine, there was nothing holding her back to give Andy to the system. She knew his medical bills would be paid for and that he would be safe. But something was holding her back; something she couldn't explain with her science. She kept thinking back to what Booth had said, right after they found out Andy would be fine. Those nine words haunted her mind as she thought about what he said, "See, our little guy is gonna be just fine." Did he really want to have a child with her, to actually adopt a child with her, be with her? Her thoughts were frozen when Andy pushed the empty bottle away and began to fuss.

"What's the matter sweetheart? Are you ready to burp?" Brennan said in her most loving voice.

Brennan picked Andy up, put a rag over her shoulder, and gently began to pat Andy on the back to help him burp. Two minutes later Andy let out a hefty burp, which would make Booth proud. Brennan cuddled Andy in her arms to help him go to sleep after he burped. He was being fussy, so she decided to sing a simple lullaby to him. She sang him Keep on Trying, her favorite song that she and her dad sang when she was little and needed to be comforted. She didn't notice that Booth was staring at her from her office door. Booth had come to her office with the social worker, and once he heard Brennan call Andy sweetheart he sent the social worker on her way. He knew that Bones didn't want to give him up, and he wasn't going to force that now. He knew this conversation was going to be hard, and even harder to convince Bones that she was ready to be a mother. He took a deep breath after he noticed Andy was asleep and made his presence known. Booth slowly made his way behind the couch and whispered in Bones' ear.

"Hey Bones, how is Andy doing today?"

"He's perfect Booth. I don't know if I can do this. Is the social worker here for him?" Bones could barely say it she didn't want to give Andy up the system she knew all too well.

"No Bones. She was but I told her we won't need her services."

"Why did you do that?" Brennan gently put Andy into his baby carrier and returned to Booth, who was now sitting on the couch.

"You know why Bones. You love him and you want to be his mother."

"Booth I can't be the mother he needs, I can't be a single mother. I can't do this by myself. And I can't bring him to lab everyday or on cases with us. And I won't leave him with a sitter. The only people I trust with him are myself, you, Angela, Hodgins, Cam, and Zack. My brother lives too far away, and well my dad is in jail waiting for his murder trial."

"Bones I'm not asking you to do this alone. I want to help you and be there for Andy as his…as his father."

"You would do that for me. You would help me adopt Andy."

"Bones I would do anything for you…" Booth paused thinking if he should say what he was feeling. Bones was staring in his eyes and their gazes locked and Booth decided she needed to know what his feelings were.

"Bones do you trust me?

"Yes."

"Do you think I'll be a good father to Andy?

"Yes."

"Do you feel that adopting Andy will make you happy?"

"Yes."

"Will adopting Andy with me, make you happier?"

"Yes. Booth what are you trying to say?"

"Bones…" Booth took Bones' hand and stared into her eyes but she didn't return the gaze. Booth took his free hand and placed it under her chin and lifted her head so that she returned the gaze.

"Bones you trust me, you think I'll be a good father to Andy, and you'll he happier if I adopt him with you. I want that more than anything. I want to be with you and have a family with you. Tempe I love you. I always have. You will always be number one for me, and I will always be there for…" Booth paused again, seeing the tears in her eyes, but a smile that crept on her face and she finished Booth's sentence.

"You will always be there for our new family. I love you too Booth. I just didn't realize it until now. I've been in love with you since our first case, but was too scared to admit my feelings for you. I can't believe how much time we wasted not admitting our feelings sooner."

"Hey, we don't have to waste anymore time, come here."

Brennan obliged and moved closer to Booth. Once she was close enough Booth put his arms around her and she snuggled in his embrace feeling safe and loved. They laid there for a couple minutes before they looked into each other eyes. Booth moved closer if that was possible and kissed Bones gently. When he began to pull back, Brennan pulled Booth even closer and kissed him with all the passion she had kept bottled up for three years.
