This is my first story so i hope you guys like it. The story is set in the future so the cast is as of season two, though i might bring in Goodman. There isn't any real spoilers though there is a reference to episode 8 in season two later on. Anything you recognise from Bones belongs to Fox, not me and i am making no profit from this. Though i am lucky enough to own Kiah and Imogen.
Chapter 1
Beep Beep Beep!!
Special Agent Seeley Booth hated mornings.
Mornings meant getting up out of his comfortable, warm bed. Getting up to horrible instant coffee and sitting in traffic for hours to get to work and find some guys decided to kill a
few people to feel better. Usually he wouldn't mind his job. He wouldn't be doing it if he didn't enjoy the feeling of putting said guys away for the rest of their lives. Not to mention
he enjoyed following a certain red headed Forensic Anthropologist to who-knows-where to get the job done. But there are just some mornings where you just want to forget the
world and today was one of them.
He rolled over to hit the snooze button. "Few more minutes won't hurt anyone" he thought. He was just settling back into slumber when he heard a scream and the sound of little
feet followed by the thump of two little bodies landing on his bed.
"Daddy" yelled his daughter. "Wake up now!"
At only two years old Imogen had not yet learned the art of waking up daddy so after realising her screaming was in vain she grabbed a pillow and started to wack him till he
peeked his head over the top of the covers.
"Mummy said that if you don't get up soon you'll be late for work" said his other daughter Kiah. At the wise age of three and a half Kiah had already learnt that the best way to get
Daddy in a good mood in the morning was to act like and angel and so was giving Booth her best smile. "Now I know why Bones complains about my charm smile" he thought
grimly but not wanting to disappoint his daughters who had him wrapped around their fingers he started to climb out of bed.
After a five minute shower, getting dressed, brushing his teeth and convincing Kiah that Parkers homework was not spare paper to draw on he stumbled into the kitchen and
headed straight for the coffee. It may have been instant and tasted slightly like tar but it was coffee and it would be keeping him sane for the rest of the day. "Not to mention a
certain Anthropologist" he thought. "Stop it " yelled the sane part of his mind that new dreaming about Temperance Brennan would only get him in trouble with his wife, Something
he was not willing to deal with at 7 in the morning with 3 screaming kids.
"Parker" he yelled up the stairs "If we don't get going now you'll be late for school"
"Comin" yelled the 6 year old.
He grabbed his keys, gun, badge and security clearance card and after kissing the kids goodbye got in the car and took Parker to school. An hour later he found himself at the
Jefforsonian listening to Zack talk about their latest victim while concentrating on the strand of hair that had fallen in front of Brennan's eyes while leaning over the body.
"Booth" yelled Temperance for the third time. "You listening".
"What? Oh yeah, sorry. I got a bit side tracked" he replied sheepishly. Suddenly his shoe seemed very interesting.
"Agent Booth can I speak to you?" asked Temperance glaring at him.
"Yeah" he replied while being dragged of the platform towards Brennan's office.
"What's going on" she yelled as soon as they were out of earshot from the others.
"What do you mean" replied Booth knowing very well what she meant but not willing to let her know that just yet.
"Staring at me in front of the others, you may as well wear a sign telling them all we're together"
Booth stared at her in shock. "I'm not that bad. Am I?"
"Yes you are and you have to stop it, okay" she replied still angry at him.
"Maybe I want everyone to know, you ever think of that" he grinned at her wondering who she'd take the sudden change in topic direction.
"You serious" she deadpanned. "We'd be screwed. Not to mention Cam would probably fire us for interoffice relationship, Zack and Hodgins would never leave us alone and
Angela would run around screaming Hallelujah, Plus what about the kids. No we can't tell anyone Booth. This is just between you and me okay. That's what we agreed on when it
started and that's how it has to be. No one else can know except us.
Booth looked at her. He knew she was right. If anyone found out about them being together all hell would break loose but sometimes it was too hard. Like when she got all upset
about a case or she was rambling or even when she was just sitting there after a case he wanted to go straight up and kiss her and proclaim to the world how much he loved her.
Temperance caught the smile on his lips. "What's so funny?" she asked.
"Nothing, just thinking about us" he looked up at her inching towards her. Their faces where almost touching. Any closer and their lips would be upon one another's.
"Hey guys" called Angela coming into the room "You done, oh sorry did I interrupt something"
"No" replied Brennan fixing her hair and willing her heart to stop beating so fast.
"We'll be right there" she said walking out the door. She turned on last time to look at Booth and give him a knowing smile.
