CHAPTER 1: DREAMS & REALITY...

BONES P.O.V.

I sat up and looked around…it had only been a dream.

DREAM *

Booth came over and we started drinking. One thing led to another and we ended up in bed together.

Nine months I had a baby.*

END DREAM

That's when I heard a knocking at the door and went to answer it, when I opened it there stood Booth.

"Hey, Bones...you're not ready?" Booth says and I look at him in confusion. "What are you talking about?" I inquired.

"Our case we're supposed to be headed to. You don't remember me calling you?" Booth asked and I shook my head no, knowing I wouldn't forget if Booth called me about a case.

"I called about half an hour ago." Booth told me, then it hit me and I remembered. "Just give me time to get ready." I called as I headed to my bedroom.

All the time I was still thinking about my dream.

'How could I be fantasizing about my partner?'

Remembering my dream, made me think of something he had said to me just a couple of days before.

FLASHBACK *

"What did you want to tell me?" I asked. "That I love you." Booth tells me and his face says he's serious.

I can't believe what I just heard and Booth must have seen the panic on my face, because...

"In a professional Atta girl kind of way," He adds quickly.*

END FLASHBACK

I knew that Booth was IN LOVE me with me as he liked to put it, but my opinion of what love is…well, it's very different from Booth's.

"Bones, are you okay?" Booth asked me through my closed bedroom door. "Yes, I'm fine." I called back and quickly finish getting ready to go.

I am quiet on the way on the way to the crime scene.

"Bones, are you okay? You seem quiet." Booth pointed out. "I was just thinking." I told him, without further explanation

"About what," Booth asked me. "Something you said to me the other day." I replied. "What did I say to you the other day?" Booth asked.

"You said that you loved me and then added

'In Atta girl kind of way'

You meant something else didn't you?" I asked.

This time it was Booth's turn for silence.

BOOTH'S P.O.V.

I sat there unable to reply. Scared she wouldn't feel the same, scared to reply.

"Booth," I heard Bones say. "Yes, I did." I finally say taking a chance.

"What did you mean?" Bones asked and my mouth went dry as cotton. "I...I love you...more than anything in this world." I replied.

'To the point I want to marry you someday and have kids with you.' I thought, but didn't say it aloud.

"Booth...Booth." Bones was trying to get my attention. "Sorry, did you say something?" I asked. "I had a dream last night." Bones said quietly and I was not sure where this was going.

"What was it about?" I asked and she was quiet a minute before she finally answered. "It was about you and me..." She said and seemed unable to continue. "Were we on a case?" I asked, trying to get answers.

"No, you came to my apartment...we started drinking and...Nine month we had a baby." Bones tells me.

I slammed on the breaks thankful that there was no one behind or in front of me. I pulled over to the side of the road and looked at Bones as she continued to look out the window.

"You had a dream about us having sex and having a baby?" I asked. "Yes." Bones replied still not looking at me.

"Bones, there is something I need to tell you...last night we did get drunk, but..." I say and she looks at me then.

"What?" Bones asked and I could see the panic in her face.

"Last night we did get drunk, but nothing happened." I assured her. "How do you know?" Bones asked.

"Because I forced myself to leave before anything happened." I replied.
