Uhm…hi everyone, this is my first English fanfic. Timeline will be varied, some of the oneshots will take place a few years from now and some others will be more close to the actual days. Every chapter will have its timeline specified, though. Just my personal rambling about B&B…hope you like it.

Since I'm not a native English speaker I will appreciate very much if you could please point me the grammar errors. If anyone's interested in being my Beta, leave a message!!!

Good Reading. :-)

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT

Chapter 1. Doubts

Timeline: Winter 2012

Temperance Brennan's bed, 3 o'clock in the morning.

Rumpled sheets, limp bodies and even breathing. Two sets of eyes, one sky blue and one deep brown, are looking at the white painted ceiling. So different and yet so similar. It's been awhile since they last spoke to each other. No one seems able to think coherently after what's just happened. She speaks first, her voice a bit unsteady.

'Are you still awake?'

'Yes.'

'I was thinking…'

'Me too.'

'What if it was the wrong choice?'

'It wasn't.'

So he gets up and kisses her. Again. This is his favorite way of silencing her. When he leaves her lips she stays quiet for a moment, than she speaks again.

'But…'

'Shhh. I's going to be ok.'

Another kiss. This time her hands crawl up his back and her body shifts so she's resting on top of him. She places the palm of her hands on his chest, one above his heart and the other almost on that scar, and she looks him straight in the eyes. Now she's in control.

'We will have to talk about it sooner or later, Booth.'

'I know. Just not right now. What do you think? Can we save this conversation for later, Bones?'

'I think so.'

'Can I kiss you now?'

'Yes.'

He does. A lot.

…

A few hours later, Temperance Brennan's kitchen.

'Good morning sleepyhead.' He greets her with a grin when she steps into the kitchen.

'Good morning. Don't call me that.' She punches him in the arm.

'Ouch Bones! That hurt. And beside I know you love when I give you pet names.' He flashes her his charm smile.

'Name Booth. One pet name. Bones. Others are not allowed.' She stays quiet for a moment, then she speaks again.

'Can we discuss the subject, now?' She asks.

He takes a seat and a sip of coffee, than he looks up at her.

'Ok.'

'Are you sure it was the right choice?'

'Yes I am. I told you about a hundred times, Bones.'

'But what if she doesn't like it?'

'Bones, she's one, she likes almost everything that's shiny and bright. Don't worry, she'll love it.'

'But…'

The cries from the baby monitor on the kitchen table make her nearly jump from the chair. It's a year today but she just can't hold herself back from feeling a slight pang in the pit of her stomach every time she hears her cry.

'I'm gonna get her.' She says matter of factly.

When she reaches the nursery, a very awake Elizabeth Booth-Brennan is standing in her little bed, tiny hands gripping the white bars and big tears streaming down her rosy cheeks.

'Mama!'

She picks her up and cuddle her, wiping away the tears with the back of her hand.

'Shhh…everything's ok baby. Your mommy's here.' Feeling her mother's presence the baby stops immediately to cry and settles her little head in the crook of her mom's neck breathing heavily. Within moments she becomes quiet. Then the two girls make their way down the corridor and in the kitchen where he's waiting for them.

'Happy Birthday little princess! I love you so much.' He says taking the baby from her mother's arm and settling her into his chest.

'Look what we got you!' He gives her a big red puppy apple with her name, Liz, written on.

The baby takes the apple with her little hands and shoves it into her mouth. Then she laughs.

'See? I told you she was going to like it. You have to stop worrying so much.'

'All right. Happy Birthday darling.' Says Temperance kissing her daughter's head.

'Hey Bones?' Says Booth with a playful smile on his lips.

'What?'

'Just so you know, I love you too.'

'I know.'

'Don't you feel like reciprocating?'

She rolls her eyes but she smiles, too.

'You know I do.'

'Come on Bones, do I need to beg you?'

'I love you too, Booth.'

'That's my girl.' He says leaning and kissing her on the lips.

She sighs onto his lips and asks herself if she's ever been happier than this moment. She knows she isn't.
