Authors Note: I hope you enjoy this series of Oneshots! :D Ideas are welcomed too. Hehe.
Summary: A series of Oneshots of different moments in Booth and Bren's lives if they we're based around my two stories, "Bones In Egypt" & "Bones Of The Past". These oneshots are just little drabbles of moments in their lives if those two stories had happened. You don't have to have read those stories to read these little oneshots. So don't worry. (x Those two stories are just where Ellie and Jackson come from, which is mostly what these oneshots are about, however not all of the oneshots will probably have to do with these two made up characters. Yes, I'm horrible at Summaries.
Disclaimer: I don't own Bones. :C I do however own Ellie and Jackson. (: Anything else Bones related does not belong to me
The Bet
Two sets of blue eyes stared pointedly at each other, one set a cerulean blue and the other a baby blue. "Jackson, while I respect your opinion, I must disagree with it. My conclusion is the correct answer." Ellie Christine Booth stood straight with her hands on her hips.
"Psh, are you kidding me? You know that my 'opinion'-he used air quotes-is actually the correct answer, while yours is merely the 'opinion'." Again, Jackson used air quotes.
Ellie stepped closer, their foreheads almost touching as she stared fiercely into Jackson's baby blue eyes. This caused Jackson to gulp visibly. He was very uncomfortable with the close proximity. Recently, Ellie had been looking rather different to him lately. They had been friends since he could remember, these feelings he was having didn't make sense.
Both kids we're brought out of their competitive stare when a clearing of the throat could be heard. "...Am I interrupting something?" Parker quirked a brow as he folded his arms across his chest. Both Ellie and Jackson looked over to the 25 year old. Ellie's face lit up.
"Parkerrrr!" Ellie squealed, tackling her older brother, her arms and legs wrapping around him. Parker stumbled back with a grunt. He chuckled softly as he steadied himself.
"Hey my little Bug. How are you?" Parker hugged his little sister tight before setting her down.
Ellie grinned and looked up at him. "I'm good. I missed you so much!" Ellie engulfed the young man in another hug.
Parker kissed the top of his sister's head. "I missed you too, Bug." Parker then brought his attention to Jackson who was waiting quietly. "Hey Jackson. How are you, buddy?" He smiled at the young boy as he watched him nod.
"Parker. I'm good, it's great to see you again." Parker smirked. Jackson was still as shy as ever.
"You too. Anyway, I was sent to get you two inside. Dinner is almost ready." Parker watched as they both eyed each other, obviously having a silent conversation. "Anyway...Carry on with...whatever you two we're doing." Parker chuckled, turning to leave before either of them could question him.
B-B-B
Temperance finished preparing the meal while her best friend, Angela set the table. "I'm so excited to have Parker home. It's really kind of you and Jack to host this little get together." Temperance glanced back at her friend as she set the last plate on the table.
"It was nothing, sweetie. You know we love Parker." Just then, the man in question came in through the back door.
"What about me?" He gave a cheeky grin and wrapped his arms around his stepmother, resting his chin on her shoulder. "I'm amazingly smart, and brilliant and my looks can't compare to anyone, I know."
"Cocky and modest too, apparently." Came Brennan's reply as she turned to hug her stepson. She watched the young man grin the family inherited smile before opening her mouth to speak. "Where are Ellie and Jackson?" She mused, stepping back.
Parker chuckled and began setting food in the middle of the large table. "Oh, those two...They're having one of their...debates." He quirked a brow with a knowing look.
"I told you we we're going to be in laws." Angela practically squealed.
"Ange...I don't-"
"Shush, come hereee." Angela cut her friend off and went to grab the woman's arm to drag her over to one of the windows. "Look at that. The older they get, the more...closer. They become." Angela pointed at the two kids in the backyard.
"So? They're friends, of course they would become close." Brennan replied, eying the two of them.
Parker sat in one of the chairs, laughing quietly as his stepmother and aunt spied on his little sister and her best friend. Angela stared intently at the two as she watched them both make hand gestures and spoke animatedly to each other.
"No, No, sweetie. Haven't you noticed it?"
"Noticed what?" Confusion washed over Brennan's features.
"The way Jackson looks at her differently...You can tell he gets nervous when Ellie gets in his face like that when they're bickering over some science thingy, or when she gets closer to him, and she's completely oblivious to him. Of course, she is YOUR daughter, why wouldn't she be oblivious?" Angela smirked as Brennan playfully hit her arm.
"Perhaps..." Was Brennan's only reply.
"I think she's starting to notice changes in Jackson too, though...I-" Angela was cut off.
"Okay you too. Give the kids some privacy...Geese, all you need now is popcorn and a soda and you can officially join the creepers club." Parker joked as he linked his arms with Angela and Temperance, pulling them away from the window. "As much as I hate the fact of my baby sister growing...up...And boys are noticing...things. I think she deserves the right to some privacy...Besides, Jackson is too shy to kiss her, if that's what you're waiting for." Parker smirked, quirking a brow.
Angela scoffed. "My boy is not to shy! He's just...sensitive." She smirked, knowing he was a very shy boy.
"Aunt Angela...C'mon...We both know if they we're going to kiss, it would be Ellie who would initiate it. She's got balls of steel." He chuckled as both Brennan and Angela rolled their eyes.
"Ovaries..." Brennan corrected.
Parker laughed out loud. "Right...She has steel ovaries. Anyway, I'll bet you 100 bucks that if anything even happens, Ellie will be the one to kiss Jackson." Parker's expression turned smug as he held out his hand.
"Deal! If Jackson kisses Ellie first, I win, and if Ellie kisses Jackson...You win." Angela grinned, placing her hand in Parker's. "But I'm telling you, Jackson isn't as shy as you think he is...Around Ellie, he comes out of his shell." They both shook hands and eyed the window.
Brennan raised a brow. "I'm keeping out of this. You know if they find out, they'll be angry..." She shook head and began putting food on everyone's plates.
B-B-B
Ellie continued to clean up their little science project, only stopping when she noticed Jackson just standing there. She turned to face him and concern washed over her face. "Hey, are you okay?" She asked, grabbing his arm softly.
Jackson was pulled from his reverie at the sound of Ellie's voice. "Huh? What? Of course. Yeah, yes. I'm...I'm fine." He stammered, bringing his gaze to meet hers. They stared into the others' eyes for a moment before Ellie looked down.
"Jackson...?" Ellie finally looked back up at the boy in front of her, waiting for him to catch her gaze.
"Yes?"
Ellie hesitated, trying hard to get the courage to say what she was going to say. "Ellie, what is it?" Jackson began to get worried, taking her hand in his hoping to comfort his best friend.
"I-I-Just-" She had never had such a hard time coming up with the right thing to say. Blushing, she dropped her head, eyes staring at the ground.
"Hey, Ellie. You're scaring me, are you okay?" Jackson crooked his finger and lifted her chin so that their eyes would meet again.
A sigh escaped Ellie's lips as she stared up at the boy. "Ahh what the hell." Was all she mumbled before she crushed their lips together. Jackson was caught off guard, but he didn't pull back. He simply wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her back, head swimming and heart pounding so hard, he was sure it was going to burst through his rib cage.
Ellie instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, moving closer to the boy as she felt his arms wrap around her. Never had she felt so many emotions wash over her all at once.
B-B-B
".GOD!" Angela let out a high pitched squeal that surely only small rodents and scorpions could hear. "THEY'RE GOING TO KISS."
Both Parker and Temperance scrambled to stare out of the window. "AWWW." Angela whined as Jackson crooked his finger under Ellie's chin.
"Oh yes, I concur, they most certainly look as though they're going to kiss. I can't tell you how many times Booth has done that to me..." Temperance trailed off, quieting as they watched the expressions on both of the young teens' faces.
As Ellie finally pressed her lips to Jackson's, Parker all but yelled his victory. "HAHA! I knew it!"
Angela just squealed yet again. "Oh my God! That is just-" She couldn't think of what to say.
"Pay up!" Parker grinned placing a hand out in front of Angela.
Angela rolled her eyes, but smirked as she pulled a 100 dollar bill from her bra, causing him to make a face.
"If you we're any other hot chick and I didn't consider you my blood...That would be totally hot." He chuckled as both Angela and Temperance slapped his arms playfully.
"I'm hot either way, so hush and take you're money, Studly Jr." Angela grinned and shook her head.
