This is set some where in the undetermined future, surrounding a pregnancy. I don't own Bones.
I Don't Need to Think About It
"I'm not asking you right now, but will you think about someday, maybe marrying me? I mean after the baby is born… Look, um, just think about it, please." He walked towards the door, "I have to go, I'll talk to you later."
He left as quickly as possible striding across the office into the lab and for the doors. I meanwhile heaved myself out of my desk chair. This pregnancy had really slowed me down. I waddled to the doorway hand on my stomach. He was almost at the door out of the lab. There was no way I would catch him, well the entire lab would know anyway. "Booth!" I yelled.
He stopped, turned, and looked at me. He had a slightly panicked look on his face and his whole body was tensed to run. "Bones" he answered weakly.
"What if I don't want to think about it?" I started waddling towards him, the whole lab watching.
His face fell, "Oh well I guess that's fine. Um. Ok, well I should go, I'll see you later."
I groaned, "Booth, don't leave" he just looked at me like this was the most painful thing I'd ever done to him. "I didn't say that right," now he looked puzzled. "I don't need to think about it, I already know my answer."
"Bones I get it I figured no would be your answer, I get it. You don't believe in marriage, its fine, really." He was fighting the need to run and I could tell.
Now however I was angry. My emotions were all over the map with this pregnancy. "Booth! Don't assume you know my answer when you haven't even asked!" I spat, stopping halfway to him.
Silence echoed in the lab, everyone waiting for what would happen next. He just stood there in shock before he strode across the room. He stopped right in front of me, and knelt, pulling out a ring box from inside his coat. He opened it so I could see the ring inside. "Temperance Brennan, Bones, will you marry me?" He looked up at me pleading for an answer.
I released a breath, "Yes, of course I'll marry you Seeley."
The lab burst into applause. He slid the ring on to my left ring finger and stood. "Thank god" tumbled out and he crushed his lips to mine.
When we broke, I look up him and said, "I didn't want to think about it because I didn't need to think about it."
He chuckled, "I got that Bones, you just scared me I was afraid that brain of yours was in hyper drive."
"Nope, all heart on this one" I kissed him again and felt his hands move down to my expanding stomach.
He broke off the kiss and knelt down so that he was level with it and said to my stomach. "You hear that baby, your mommy said she'd marry me, I thought that would never happen." He kissed my stomach and I laughed, pulling him upright.
"What can I say I'm full of surprises, besides aren't you the one that said everything happens eventually."
"I did say that, I still didn't see you saying yes to marrying me without any convincing."
"Booth you've been convincing me for five years now, you just never asked."
"Oh so you would have said yes if I'd asked you anytime before this?"
"Well no, I would have said no until last week when I realized that I want to marry you."
"So before that I would have gotten a no."
"Probably, that or your own line: everything happens eventually."
"I get it." He responded. And kissed me again.
Reviews make me smile, but then again so does knowing that your reading it so do what ever makes you happy.
