I own nothing from Bones!

Chapter 1

Booth kissed the top of Brennan's head as she lay against him, tears still streaming from her eyes but she could only lay against his chest with his arms wrapped securely around her. Booth shifted to wipe her tears away and look into her pale blue eyes.

"You okay?" He asked softly as she nodded. "Try to get some sleep." He whispered as he ran his hand over her cheek gently.

"Booth…." She trailed off. "Seeing how life can be taken so easily and quickly… I feel that if I continue my path in life I will never be able to experience what everyone else has."

"What are you talking about?"

"Cam has Paul and Michelle, Sweets has Daisy, Angela has Hodgins and they are having a child and you have Parker. The way I've been conducting my life…. If life really is so fragile and taken away without warning… I don't have anything."

"Bones, you have everyone."

"No, not in the experience that everyone else has." Booth locked his warm brown eyes with her pale blue ones as understanding began to sink in. He pushed himself onto his elbow as she leaned back against the soft mattress looking up at him. "Everyone has someone to share their lives with; they are willing to let another person take control of aspects of their life. I just…"

"You share your life with all your friends."

"No, that's not entirely correct."

"Yes it is. Bones you share the accomplishments, the happy moments and the painful moments. You share in all of our lives, even if it's not like Angela with Hodgins or Cam and Michelle, you still are part of our lives."

"But not really."

"It is." He insisted, "You're part of my life." She looked at him as he gently ran his hand over her cheek again. "You've always been a part of my life and I can't see it being any other way."

"What are you saying?"

"After today…. I can't take the chance of holding back and staying away. I can't take the chance that something will happen and I never got the chance to do so much because I was afraid of being hurt again."

"Booth…" She said as their eyes locked and the intensity in his gaze made her shift and give a small smile. "Are you suggesting we try us? As a couple?" He looked at her before he nodded.

"Yeah, Bones. I know you feel it and I've felt it since we first met. Let's give this a shot." She looked up at him before she gave a small nod. At the sight of her agreeing to try a relationship with him, he couldn't help but lean down and kiss her. He felt her shift placing her hands on his chest as she kissed back. He pulled apart keeping his face close to hers he smiled at her. "You're really going to try…. Us?"

"Yes, and you're sure you are ready?"

"I've always been ready Bones. No matter what I did I couldn't push you away." She watched him smile before falling back to the mattress. "Get some sleep." He said softly as they shifted to lay straight on the bed. Brennan rolled laying her head on his chest with his arms holding her tight to him as they drifted off.

Booth woke up to his alarm, opening his eyes he shut it off and looked down seeing Brennan still laying on his chest with his arms around her, his hand resting on her hip. He felt her shift as she opened her eyes and looked up at him making him smile as she only shifted enough to look into his brown eyes.

"I need to go to my apartment to get clothes." She said softly.

"Yeah."

"And you need to get Broadsky." She almost whispered.

"Yeah." He responded as his grip around her tightened before he loosened and looked back at her. "I'll get dressed and then I'll take you to you're place so you can change."

"Okay." She agreed as she sat on the side of the bed as he climbed from the bed and walked to his closet. Turning he saw her still sitting on the side of the bed looking down.

"You okay, Bones?" He asked walking over. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "What's wrong?" He sat beside her wrapping his arm around her shoulders.

"Booth… You have to be careful today." She told him as he nodded kissing her forehead.

"I will." He pulled back and looked into her eyes. "You really think I would go and get myself killed after you just agreed to be with me?"

"I've always been with you."

"Different kind of with me. You're not just my partner anymore, Bones. I love you. I'm not going anywhere. Just relax okay? I'll get Broadsky and then we'll see Vincent off and then we can relax." He saw her nod as she whipped her eyes and looked back at her. "Come on let's get going and catch the bastard." He said with a smile making her give a soft smile before they set off to get ready for the day.

Brennan heard the knock on her door making her turn and move to the door quickly from her spot at the counter. She opened the door and found Booth. She smiled and moved to the side letting him in before she wrapped her arms around him as the effects of her worry from the day began to settle. He wrapped his arms around her gently pulling her closer.

"I... I was worried." She said pulling back to look at him as he nodded. "I'm glad you're alright." Booth pulled her closer as he pushed his lips against hers. She relaxed against him, wrapping her arms around his neck as he pulled her closer with his hands on his hips. He pulled back but keeping his face close to hers.

"I know you were worried. I'm sorry I worried you."

"It's not you're fault that I was worried. It was a combination of chemicals being released into my system and I know what Broadsky has done. I knew what he would do if he was able to catch you."

"I wouldn't have been able to get him if it wasn't for you though."

"Where is he now?"

"He's being held in a very secure place waiting to get the bullet taken out of his leg. He's not getting out." He paused looking at her. "Why are you home anyway?"

"After we received the call that you were alright Cam sent us all home. We are going back tonight to send Vincent's body to his family in England."

"You're going to go?"

"Yes. Although he is already gone from this life, I believe that he would have liked seeing everyone there to see him on his journey back to his home country to be laid to rest." Booth smiled as he brushed back her hair looking into her light blue eyes as she locked them with his brown ones. "Will you be going?"

"I have to go talk with Cullen, but I'll meet you at the lab. Okay?" She nodded as he pulled her in for another kiss. "I love you, Bones." He whispered before turning to let himself out. "See you later tonight." He smiled seeing a small smile across her face before he left.

Later that night Booth walked into the lab with Brennan's arm wrapped around his. The sounds of the friends singing 'lime in the coconut' died as they walked farther down the hall, back towards the main lab. He looked at Brennan as she walked with her head resting on his shoulder hiding her face. He stopped making her pause as he reached out making her look up at him.

"Bones..." He trailed off seeing the tears running down her cheeks. He pulled her to him and felt her arms automatically wrap around him as she tried to control her sobs. Booth looked down the hall to see that none of their friends had realized they had stopped. "It's alright." He hushed as she gained control of her emotions and looked up at him as he gently wiped away her tears.

"I don't know why I feel like this, I just know that I feel that I was my fault for his death. If I hadn't started working with you if I hadn't allowed him to participate in-"

"Bones, it's not your fault, it's Broadsky's fault for pulling that trigger. You didn't do anything wrong."

"I've said it before, Booth. Creating strong connections with others puts many people in jeopardy. You and Cam, you and I, because of my relationships I have with everyone killers and criminals have gone after my friends."

"But because of that connection you were able to send each one of them to jail. You need to have friendships to survive. Someone with no friends or relationships at all will eventually fade away." He told her as he locked his warm, intense brown eyes with her cold, lost blue ones. "Besides, if you had no connections, if you hadn't started working with me, you and me... we wouldn't be together."

"I just don't want any more people to get hurt because of their relationship with me." Booth shook his head.

"Sometimes things happen that you have no control over but you have friends and family, people who you love and who love you to help you get through things like this. I'm not going anywhere. I told you, Bones. I love you. I knew when I first saw you. I love you." She looked up at him for a minute before her eyes brightened a bit.

"You've always spoke of love and I've always placed it as a chemical reaction in your brain when attracted to another, but... I believe I understand what you were talking about now. There is no explanation for the over powering feelings towards another."

"I love when you do your science talk. I don't understand a word you say but I love it." He saw a smile begin to cross her lips.

"It means... I love you too Booth." He grinned before he pressed his lips to hers. His hands wrapped around her, one resting on her lower back and the other cradling her head as he arms snaked around his neck. They pulled back looking at each other for a minute. "I do love you Booth."

"I know. I love you too, Bones." He smiled. "Come on we better find the others before they start their talking." She smiled and nodded as they began walking down the hallway to find where their friends went to.

Booth walked over to the table of friends and handed Brennan her wine as he stood beside her and the others all stood and sat around the table talking about their most recent case they had solved. Celebrating another murderer behind bars.

"To another freak behind bars." Angela said holding up her water as everyone laughed and clanked their glasses together.

"We should toast to them more often." Booth said as he stood beside Brennan with one hand on the back of her chair. "If it weren't for them being morons we wouldn't have jobs." He explained when everyone looked at him.

"It doesn't make sense but then again trying to think about things while hoped up on hormones isn't the best thing to do." Angela shrugged with a smile making the others laugh.

"This was a hard case but we still got our guy in the end." Cam said.

"Like we always do." Booth added.

"Together." Brennan smiled as they all raised their drinks. Angela started talking to Hodgins, Sweets and Wendell about the baby as Booth looked at Brennan as she set her cup on the table glancing at him with a small smirk.

"You feeling okay now?" Booth asked as Brennan gave a nod.

"Yes, now that this case is finally over. I was becoming over whelmed with everything from this case. I am hoping I'll be able to sleep better now that it is over."

"Yeah, I'm sure you will. You don't have to worry about anything now." He smiled as he let his fingers run against her back. "We have the weekend off so you can get plenty of rest."

"Don't you have to get Parker tomorrow?"

"Yeah I'll pick him up from school and then I have him for the weekend and I have to drop him off at school on Monday."

"Are you going to take him to the aquarium again? He seems to love that place."

"Yeah, he can't get enough of it." Booth shifted closer to Brennan as someone tried to walk behind him but instead of moving away, he stayed where he was making it easier for his fingers to run across Brennan's upper back without their friends noticing. They didn't want to hide it from their friends but they weren't ready to share their relationship just yet.

"Dr. B? You coming over this weekend? Angela's having the baby shower on Saturday." Hodgins said with a bright smile.

"I'm sure I will be able to attend." She said with a small smile.

"Booth?"

"I have Parker this weekend." Booth shrugged.

"There's going to be a few other kids there, you can bring him. He will love the pool." Angela smiled as Booth shook his head.

"Okay, fine. Parker would kill me if I said no." He chuckled as the others laughed knowing how much Parker loved the pool. After several hours of talking about Angela and Hodgins unborn child they began leaving, heading home "I got it, Bones." He said and watched Brennan smile as she walked out with Angela and Hodgins to say good-bye while Booth paid for hers and his drinks. Cam reached out touching Booth's arm as he reached into his pocket for money.

"You and Dr. Brennan are sleeping together." She blurted out, as Booth looked at her confused at first then flustered as he tried to say something back.

"What? No. Me and Bones... No…"

"Come on, it's obvious with the way you two act. And that look she gave you before she left. It's the kind of look a woman gives her boyfriend. When did it happen? When did you actually tell her?"

"We didn't sleep together, Camille. Bones and me just figured some stuff out about a week ago, when she stayed at my place after the shooting." Cam looked at him. "We talked and it's not like we've really had time to do anything at all with that last case. Go ask her if you don't believe me. You know Bones will tell you flat out." Cam narrowed her eyes before she walked passed him making him shake his head as he left the money on the table and walked out to find Cam walking up to Brennan who was still talking to Angela and Hodgins. Groaning to himself, he walked over to stand beside Brennan and saw the quick look and smile Angela shot him. Obviously Brennan told Angela what was going on between them, now it was Hodgins who had no clue.

"You might want to just spill it." Booth heard from Angela as he walked over. "It looks like Cam is about to burst." She smiled as Cam's face lit up as she smiled.

"So it's true." She smiled as Hodgins looked at the group lost.

"What's true?" Hodgins asked as Brennan looked at Cam.

"What are you talking about?" She asked as Cam glanced at Booth who sighed.

"She wants to know about… Us. She has some ideas of what happened." Booth explained as Brennan looked from him back to Cam as Hodgins' mouth fell open. "Go ahead ask her since you obviously don't believe me." He said as Cam looked at Brennan.

"I'll take your word for it, Seeley." Cam said slyly. "I'll see you on Monday; I better get home to Michelle." She told everyone before walking down the sidewalk.

"We'll see you later Sweetie." Angela hugged Brennan before pulling Hodgins away before he started saying things that would make Booth shoot him. Brennan and Booth looked at each other before they turned, linking arms and walking down the street to the SUV.

"My place or yours?" Booth asked making Brennan smile. They had been spending the nights together for the last week, although most of the time it was them accidentally falling asleep on one of their couches while going over a case file or just dropping into a bed exhausted from the day.

"Yours is closer and I do have my bag of clothes I use when I'm stuck at the lab."

"My place it is." He smiled as they climbed into the SUV and started to his apartment.

Once there Brennan grabbed her bag and walked with Booth up the winding stairs to his apartment. Booth opened the door and dropped his keys on the kitchen counter as he pulled his jacket off then looked at Brennan as he pulled his shoes off. She set her bag on the couch before pulling her coat off and setting it on the back of the couch. He stopped at the doorway to the living room from the kitchen as she pulled several files from her bag making him smirk. Slowly Booth walked closer to her and reached around pulling her back to him as he pulled the files from her hands.

"Booth." She protested but couldn't help a small smile as she felt his warm breath on her ear as he whispered.

"No work tonight. We just finished a case; let's just forget about work for the rest of the night."

"I have to grade those papers." She whispered back as she turned her head slightly to look at him. "Just because we solve a case does not mean my tasks at the lab are finished. The Jeffersonian pays me to identify the remains in bone storage and-." He kissed her making her go quiet before they pulled apart and she narrowed her eyes. "That wasn't very nice." He smiled as she looked back at the files and grabbed them from his hand.

"Come on Bones." He said kissing her neck softly making her sigh. He paused and kissed again then moved slightly to kiss lower on her neck before she started to lean back into him.

"Booth…" She complained half heatedly as he found a spot that made a soft moan escape her throat as he head lulled back against his shoulder and to the side letting him have more access. "I have work to do." She tried to say only to have Booth begin to wrap his arms around her to pull her tight to his chest as he continued to place lovingly soft kisses on her neck. She turned in his arms and captured his lips with hers. Booth gently pulled the files from her hand and put them on the couch before snaking his arms around her once again. Booth was trying to pull himself back from losing control when he felt her arms grip his shirt pulling him closer, and harder into the kiss. They pulled apart and looked at each other trying to fight for control over their emotions, but the lust and need they held in their eyes for the other showed clear.

Booth ran his hand against her cheek gently before threading his fingers in her hair and pulling her back to him. Once again, kissing Brennan pulled Booth closer as he deepened the kiss. The passion each was pushing into the kiss was starting to make them feel weak at the knees. The love shared between them, even if Brennan would not openly admit it was flowing free and quickly causing things to spin. They started making their way towards the bedroom as Booth pushed Brennan against the wall pulling her shirt over her head while she pushed his button up shirt off his shoulders. Booth pushed himself against her before he felt her beginning to undo his belt while she kicked her shoes off and he unbuttoned her pants letting them fall to the ground.

The belt slid free and landed on the floor with a thud before Booth started moving them to the bedroom again only to have Brennan push him into the wall undoing his pants, pushing them from his hips and letting them pull on the floor as he kicked out of them. They both now stood in their under ware, pressed against each other when suddenly Brennan pushed his boxers down, knelt and took him in her mouth all in one swift motion. Booth never saw it coming, taking a quick intake of air as he felt her lips close around his member. He let a soft groan go as she started her work, rubbing and sucking, all in perfect rhythm as he pushed back against the wall closing his eyes as he tried to stop from falling from the pleasure. He felt his body start to quiver as he griped the table beside him. He felt Brennan quicken the pace and before he could tell her to stop, he was thrown over the edge.

"God Bones." he said breathing heavy. He looked at her as she stood up, he couldn't take it anymore. He wrapped his arms around her, lifting her as he started for the bedroom quickly. To his surprise, she wrapped her legs around his waist before he locked his lips with hers once again before laying her on the bed. She dropped her bra on the floor as he pulled her panties off and went back to kissing her neck earning soft moans as he hit particular spots. His hands roamed her waist up to her rib cage, gently massaging her breasts before one hand slid down slowly to her hip, then her inner thigh before finally reaching its destination between her legs. She moaned as he began to rub slowly moving to slip his fingers inside of her, earning a louder moan. He smirked as he continued to pleasure her, rubbing and moving as he kissed her neck, then moving down to her breasts he took one in his mouth and he heard her gasp in pleasure before he moved to the other making her arch her back. She felt the warmth beginning to build, with a few more rubs and a few more kisses her body trembled in desire, and she let out a louder moan.

Brennan looked at him before pulling him closer to give him a deep kiss as she grabbed his member and placed it at her entrance. He shifted his weight before pushing in making both shiver with delight at the feel of being connected to the other, finally after so many years. They looked at each other as they tried to pull back control but the second Booth pulled back slightly and pushed back in everything was lost. Brennan turned them so that Booth was lying on the bed and she was on top lifting and dropping, shifting and sliding. She didn't know what had come over her. She had never felt this way with any other man before. She was losing her emotional walls, she was open completely to him, she was losing her control over herself and it excited her even more.

Booth turned them and continued the rhythm she has started, pushing deeper on angles, she hadn't hit yet making her moan in pure pleasure. He quickened his pace, shifting slightly here and there to hear her moan and gasp as she clutched the sheets, closing her eyes as her moans and gasps became louder and louder.

"Oh god." She gasped as he plunged into her again and again. "Booth." She moaned making his body shiver at the sound of his name being uttered in a husky voice from the woman of his dreams. "Ah. God. Booth." She cried out in pleasure as her body quaked and shivered as he pushed once more and his own body tensed. He rolled to the side both breathing heavy, trying to gain back the control they lost as Brennan pushed herself up onto her elbow to look at Booth with a smile. He smiled back as he looked at her and their breath became easier again. "You were right, Booth."

"About what?"

"About nearly breaking the laws of physics. You were right that when you do it right you can almost break the laws of physics."

"A miracle." He added with a smirk before he turned wrapping his arms around her as he kissed her making her fall back to the pillow as the desire, the need, the lust built back up and they spent another two hours pushing the laws of physics as far as they would go.
