POST SEASON 6

His face lit up, he was going to be a father, he was going to be the father of Bone's baby. He looked at her she didn't exactly mirror his expression.

"What's wrong Bones?" he asked concerned.

"Are you mad?" she asked her blue eyes searching his face for an answer.

"Mad? Bones we're having a child how could I be mad?" he asked.

"We never spoke about, well you know, sex."

"Please Bones don't call it sex."

"That's what it was."

Booth closed his eyes in frustration. Suddenly a horrible thought hit him.

"Bones… you don't want to… to… to" he swallowed at what he was about to say "to get rid of the baby." Brennan frowned. She didn't know yet. If he didn't want the child she would have to decide what to do, she didn't have the strength to raise Booths baby without him.

"No. I want to have this child, I wanted a child for a long time now." The words I wanted to bare your child threatened to come out of her mouth but she quickly swallowed them.

"Bones I have a son already…" he began and fearing what he would say next Brennan stated to cry.

"Bones, Bones, why are you crying?" Booth asked wrapping his arms around her.

"It's irrational to raise a child without its father. And if u don't want to..."

"BONES! Don't you even say that. I want this baby more then anything in the world, I want, I want, I want you more then anything in the world." He said.

Brennan pulled away and looked at Booth. Her heavy make up smeared over her face.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that I want to raise this child with you. I want us to finally be together. To create a family." He said wiping the tears off her face with his thumb. She looked him strait in the eye, and she smiled.

"That's what I want too." She said and once again hugged him. Booth let out a sigh of relief. "But right now I want to go home."

"Oh, yea sure Bones, I'll drive you. My cars parked right around the corner."

They walked to the car in silence, a million thoughts in both their heads. She wanted to tell him so many things; he wanted to ask her so many things. They both needed to get their heads strait. Finally they reached Booths SUV. He opened the door for his… who was she to him now. He wanted to ask but it seamed like a too strait forward of a question so he didn't say anything and sat down in his seat in silence. Bones was the one to ask him what they were now.

"Booth what are we now?" she asked in a voice that suggested that she was worried.

"Well we're what we always were." He began. She nodded a little heart broken. "But now we're just expecting a child."

Brennan turned to the window, swallowing hard, she couldn't cry in front of him again, she was being irrational Booth was right. Suddenly Booth stopped the car, and Bones turned to face him.

"That's what you want right." He asked slightly angry.

"Well, is it what you want?" she replied.

"No. But if it's what you want Bones then its what I want." He softened his tone a bit.

"Booth, I'm bad with feelings. I would make a terrible wife, and I'm not the best girlfriend either. But I can change, as hard as it would be I could do it, for you." She said and turned to face the window again. Booth noticed she wasn't looking and let the biggest smile split his face, it made him so happy to hear that Bones felt the same way he did. He always thought that he was lying to himself expecting that Bones would ever be with him. He was driving in the direction of her apartment. And he felt ecstatic, he slowly turned to look at Brennan to his surprise she was sad she was biting her bottom lip. Booth wanted to ask what's wrong but he had to concentrate on driving or he would get scolded by his partner and he hated that. Finally they reached her apartment and Brennan got out of the car. When she noticed Booth wasn't getting out she opened the door and peaked her head in.

"Booth?"

"Yea?" he asked looking strait ahead.

"You're more then welcome to come upstairs." She said, Booth immediately turned to face her. He smiled, but she only gave him a sad half smile, still he got out of the car and followed her to her apartment. She unlocked the door and stepped in, Booth hovered for a second but quickly followed.

"Can you tell me what's wrong now Bones?" he asked before she even took her coat off.

"Nothing's wrong" she lied. Booth grabbed her waist and pulled her very close to him, their lips were almost touching.

"Baby, what's wrong." He asked again. Brennan was shocked by his choice of words and action, and yet didn't pull away.

"Booth you can't do this, we're just partners." She said coldly.

"Oh." Booth said. He closed the gap between them and planted a soft kiss on her perfect lips. "Bones we are much, much more then partners. If we were just partners you wouldn't be pregnant and I wouldn't be madly in love with you. Bones I don't want us to stay just friends or just partners I want us to be a couple. I want to be with you every second of this pregnancy. And I want to be with you for the rest of my life." He said. Brennan remained silent and finally she laughed. Booth eyed her.

"Are you ok Bones?"

"Yes, yes I'm fine I'm just laughing at my odd emotions I don't usually act like this."

"I know you don't. Neither do I. But I'm a little desperate her Bones, what do you say?"

"About what?"

"About us. Us being a couple."

"It would be rational to raise my child with a father so…"

"I'm not asking you what's rational I'm asking you how you feel."

"I have never had this strong of an attraction or, or, ummm…"

"I've always waited for the day that Temperance Brennan couldn't find the words to describe what she's saying. The word you are looking for is love Bones, love." He said. Bones laughed a looked into Booths brown eyes, she pulled him by his collar and kissed him.

Booth blinked a couple of times trying to understand what had just happened. He looked at Brennan who seemed just as scared as he was.

"I'm sorry." She said and quickly walked away. Booth stood there in awe. He had just been kissed by Temprance Brennan a million women could kiss him, one by one but nothing could ever equal that kiss. And it was a real kiss, it wasen't a kiss that occurred because they were drunk or because someone was feeling peckish or because she was crying and that was the only thing that he could felt was right to do. This was his beautiful partner kissing him because… why did she kiss him?

"Bones why did u do that?" he asked more dazed then after sex with Hannah

"I already said I'm sorry. Just forget it happened. Just forget it all ever happened. Lets just go back and be normal."

"What do you mean forget it all ever happened?"

"The kiss, the sex, the baby, the…"

"The baby? How do u forget a baby. And how do you forget mind blowing sex? And how could I ever forget the best kiss I ever experienced?"

"Well just simply… I don't know Booth. But I don't want to ruin our professional relationship, and quite frankly the private one as well. I will raise the child on my own, I'm wealthy so I won't ask you for any money, it will be like the sex never happened and I will tell everyone that I got artificially impregnated." Booth listened to her growing angrier with every word.

"Bones" he said softly "I know how much you hate when someone ruins your plan but I just have to. No we will not do what you said instead we will: Raise the baby together, we will talk about the sex, hopefully do it again, and we will tell everyone when the time is right that we are now a couple and that I am the father of your baby. You know why?"

"Why?" Brennan asked her voice low and trembling.

"Because I love you." Booth said and not waiting for her reaction he turned around to go sit on the couch and let her genius brain process what he had just said. She looked at Booth who was currently searching for the remote to her TV. She smiled a whispered Thank god under her breathe. She wanted to tell Booth she loved him to but when he was doing something so primitive as searching for a electronic object it seemed pointless for some reason. Her gaze turned toward the counter where the remote was, she picked it up and walked over to the FBI agent.

"Is this what your looking for?'

"Oh yea. Thanks, love you Bones."

"Booth?"

"Yea?"

"I love you too." She said a looked at the TV which still wasn't turned on.

"You what?" Booth asked so shocked that he nearly opened his mouth in surprise

"You heard me. I said that I love you."

"If I told you I love you a week ago you would give me a whole lecture on how there is no such thing as love and how its not rational and all your usual anti love crap."

"First of all if you said it last week I wouldn't give you a lecture because a week ago I was already sure I love you, and second of all nothing I ever say is crap." She said and looked at a little hurt. Booth smiled and grabbed her hand.

"I know Bones, I know."
