This story is bothering me. So please read the story and review at the end.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bones

Seeley Booth was sitting on his bed with his head in his hands. He looked up to see a small velvet box sitting innocently on his dresser right across from him. Tonight was the night. He was going to propose to his girlfriend/partner. They've been dating about ten months and that's not including their three years of friendship before they became boyfriend and girlfriend. Booth remembered a certain New Year's night, when both he and Brennan were standing outside of Brennan's porch. Booth wanted Brennan to spend New Year's with him but Brennan refused to leave her house. So, Booth came over with some hats and a bottle of champagne. It was a minute before midnight and both of them were quietly looking out to see people on the street having fun. Then Brennan brought up the tradition of couples kissing when it hits midnight. She asked if they had to kiss and Booth said that she could do whatever she wanted. To his surprise when the clock struck twelve, Brennan grabbed his shirt, pulled him closer to her and kissed him on the lips. That night was when Booth realized the Brennan was the one. Little did he know that Brennan was thinking the same thing as well.

Now there Booth was some ten months later, sitting on his bed staring at a box with Brennan's engagement ring. He wasn't pretty sure how she would react. She could dump him, run away, never speak to him again or say yes. Booth hoped she would pick the last one. He planned to make this moment very special for both of them. He stared down at his watch and jumped up. He was going to be late! He put on his shoes, grabbed his coat and ran out of the door and slammed it shut. A couple of minutes later he walked back in, grabbed the velvet box and rushed out the door and slammed it shut, again. While driving to Brennan's apartment Booth kept touching his left coat pocket to make sure that the ring was still there.

When he parked in front of Brennan's apartment he looked to see his girlfriend standing on the stairs and smiling when she saw the familiar SUV. Booth's eyes opened wide and his jaw dropped. She looked so beautiful. Brennan kept her hair curly and let if fall on her shoulders. The dark blue dress she was wearing showed all of her curves on her body. When Brennan entered into the car and shut the door she turned to Booth. "Are you ready Booth?" It took a couple of seconds for him to get back to reality but finally responded. "Yeah Bones, I'm ready." Booth put the gear into drive and they both rode off to the restaurant. It was silent for a couple of moments until Booth broke the silence. "Hey Bones, Rebecca is going out of town with her new boyfriend so Parker's going to spend tomorrow and the weekend with us. Is that alright?" "Of course Booth" she replied. "I don't mind at all. I like it when Parker comes over."

Booth should have known that Brennan wouldn't have mind if Parker came over. Parker loved her and Brennan loved him. Parker loved the idea that his father and Bones was a couple. That meant that he would be able to hang out with his favorite anthropologist. After the millions of time that Brennan said the she was a terrible mother, Booth would tell her that she was wrong. She was a great mom to Parker. But just in case Booth called up Rebecca last week to talk to Parker. When Parker came on the phone he told his dad what he did that day and that he was excited to see him and Bones on the weekend. Then Booth asked Parker if he would like it if Brennan became his second mom. Parker was so happy he kept saying yes over and over again. Then Parker gave the phone back to Rebecca and Booth explained to her that he was going to propose to Brennan. Rebecca congratulated him and that she wished the best of luck for both of them. Booth also consulted to her that even though he was going to be married to Brennan, Parker still was his number one priority. Rebecca was glad for that answer and told him that that's what she wanted to hear.

Booth pulled up to the valet parking for Le Bleu a newly opened restaurant that Brennan was dying to go to. Booth got out of the car and being his usual gentleman self, he opened Brennan's door and helped her get out of the car. Brennan gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you so much Booth, for all of this." Booth gave her one of his charm smiles and held on to her hand and walked inside the reservation. Booth was nervous like crazy but he tried not to make it obvious to Brennan. Once inside, the pair walked up to one of the employees standing behind the podium. "Hello, welcome to Le Bleu, do you have a reservation?" the man said in a fake French accent. "Yes, it should be under the name Seeley, party of two." The man looked down at the piece of paper on the podium scrolling down with a pen. When he found the name, he crossed it off and grabbed two menus. "Follow me please" he said. The pair followed the man to an empty table with two chairs and a bottle of champagne next to the table in an ice bucket.

They sat down and took the menus from the waiter and discussed with each other what they were going to order. Brennan decided she would take the penne pasta. Booth really wasn't hungry but was full of nerves. But, he ordered a steak thinking the meat would calm down his jitters. Once their orders were taken, Booth cracked the champagne and poured it into their glasses. From their, Brennan and Booth were able to have a nice calm discussion. Ever since becoming a couple, their disagreements about religion and other topics went to a minimal. But if it was about a victim or a suspect, it would be better if you locked them in separate rooms. But tonight, their conversations were quiet and calm. When their meals were served, Booth went straight for his deliciouslookinghopeitgetsridofallmynervessteak while Brennan pondered for a moment. "Seeley" she said quietly. Booth looked up to see his Bones puzzled. "Is something wrong Temperance?" "Yeah, are you sure you're well?" Booth's heart stopped to beat and his face turned red. "No Bones, why would you say that?" "Well, you haven't touched your champagne, your devouring that steak like you are in a rush and you have tons of sweat pouring down your face."

Now Booth was in a pickle. Either he would lie to her which hurt him more than anything, or make the move. Booth cleared his throat and looked up to Brennan. "You know that I love you Temperance right?" "Yes, Seeley I know you do and I love you too." "That's the answer that I needed to hear." "What, wait, Seeley where are you getting to?" Booth got up from his seat and headed towards Brennan. "Temperance, I want to be with you for the rest of my life. I don't care if you don't believe in marriage and you don't want to have kids, but I need you." Booth put his hand in his left pocket and retrieved the box. "Since I want you to be in my life forever, I would love to ask you" Booth bent down on his left knee and opened the box. "Temperance Brennan, will you marry me?"

Brennan stared at the ring inside the box. It had a normal size diamond in the middle and three smaller ones on each side. Tears started to shed from her eyes because she finally was asked the question she wanted to hear for a long time. "Yes of course Seeley. I would love to marry you." They both smiled as Booth took out the ring and put it on Brennan's finger. Then Brennan pulled Booth towards her and gave him a big kiss on the lips. Unfortunately, this lovely moment was interrupted when Booth's cell phone began to ring tearing their kiss apart. Booth groaned to the noise and answered the phone. "Booth" he said in a sort of cranky voice. Then, his body began to stiffen hearing the sound of his boss at the end of the receiver. He nodded a couple of times and shortly hung up. Booth signaled the waiter for the check. "Bones, a new body has just been discovered and they need us now." Brennan nodded to him knowing that their work never ended so she quickly ate her pasta. So once Booth paid for the dinner, they headed towards the car driving first to Booth's apartment where they both changed into comfortable clothing and then drove out towards to the Lincoln Memorial.
