Lance Sweets sat in his office feeling dejected; he thought he had written a pretty good book about FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth and Forensic Anthropologist Doctor Temperance Brennan's relationship, but over the last hour he found out it was nothing but drivel, blarney, nonsense, balderdash, twaddle, bull, bunkum, hooey, in other words crap!

"…So, there you have it Sweets, that's how our first case really went."

Brennan took Booth's hand,"tell him all of it Booth."

"Why? No one else knows."

"Because he'll figure it out eventually."

Booth sighed and ran a hand around the back of his neck. "Sweets, we haven't been completely honest, that night after Bones got in the cab I followed her and we went to her apartment and we uh…"

"What Booth's having trouble saying is we slept together that night and we have almost every night for the last 6 years. We have a personal relationship as well as a professional one." Booth couldn't help but notice the relief on Brennan's face that someone albeit was Sweets that knew.

"WOW! "Was croaked out as Sweets sunk lower in his chair and the color drained from his face.

"Sweets are you okay?" Brennan didn't get a response, "Booth, get him some water."

Booth nodded as Brennan eased Sweets' head down. "Take a deep breath."

Sweets did as Brennan instructed as Booth came in and held the flimsy paper cup out to him, Sweets took a shaky drink."Who knows besides me?"

"Rebecca and Parker, only because our being together directly affects Parker. "

Sweets nodded," Anything else you forgot to tell me? The two of you haven't procreated have you? "

"Not yet." Brennan answered.
"Your whole 'I want a baby and Booth to be its father 'thing last year what was that?"

"A ruse to see everyone's reactions to the possibility of us having a child."

"Oh, so Booth didn't -?"

"No, I went to the range, but I did hear voices and see things."

Sweets nodded," you busting into Booth's bathroom after you found out he was alive?"
"I really did do that, but I used my own key."

"Okay, I-I think we've done enough for today."

The partners stood up to leave, Booth turned back to the psychologist," You're not going to recommend that we be split up are you?"

"Given your 99% closure rate over the last six years I am going to recommend you stay together with weekly sessions with me, but the final decision is Cullen's to make not mine."

The partners nodded and left a shell shocked Sweets in his office.
