This is the sequel to 'Second Chance'. It picks up a few months after. Angela and Hodgins are getting married and Booth and Brennan are discussing moving in together.

"Should I go with purple?" Angela's question was lost on Brennan. Parker gave her a discrete tap with his foot and Brennan's head snapped up from the report she was done grading. She blinked, lost as to what was going on. Angela's talking to me? Oops. Brennan turned to Parker, who was seated on her right side in the dinning table, for help. The boy shrugged, returning to his math problem.
"Angela, you're getting married in three months." Brennan knew she'd chosen her words right. "You need to take a deep breath and maybe take a bath?" Brennan offered, wondering if that would calm her friend.
"With lots of bubbles." Parker added.
"You guys are right. What would I do without you?" Angela closed her 'Angela's wedding planner' and stood from her seat. She gave Brennan and Parker a hug and headed to the bathroom for a nice, long soak in the tub.
"I didn't know she was talking to me?" Brennan turned to Parker. Angela had sat down and spoke nonstop. Brennan hadn't been sure if she was talking to herself or them. They heard the front door open and after a few seconds they saw Booth approaching.
"Hey, what happened to locking the door?" He asked, hands on hips, but his smile broke the stern look he was trying to give them.
"Angela just got in. She must have forgotten to lock it. So far she hasn't lost her head because it's attached to her body." Angela was going nuts with the wedding preparations. The decision to get married was made weeks after the whole Brennan's kidnapping incident. Both Angela and Hodgins decided that life was too short and they didn't want to waste any time.
Booth stood in front of Brennan as he asked, "How was your day?" He placed a kiss on her lips before turning to Parker. Father and son shared a fist bump. Brennan told him how her day went, followed by Parker's tale of his day at school. Booth quickly filled them in on his day. It was a ritual they did every time they got together. "So, it's Thursday afternoon and I'm hungry." Booth added emphasize to 'hungry' by patting his abdomen. "Are you guys almost done?"
"I'm on my last problem." Parker quickly returned to his math problem eager to go out for a bite to eat.
"I just have to record the grades." Booth nodded and flipped through Angela's folder as he waited for Brennan and Parker to finish.
After a few minutes Parker was done with his problem and Brennan was done recording the grades. She gave his problem a look over and nodded that it was well done before rising from her seat.
Angela sat inside the bathtub and immediately felt at ease. She heard the bathroom door open and Brennan stuck her head in.
"I'm going out to eat with Booth and Parker. Want me to bring you something?"
"No, I'm good. Have fun." Angela smiled as Brennan nodded and shut the door. Angela waited to hear the front door close and smiled to herself.
B&B
Thirty minutes later Booth, Brennan and Parker were on their way to Booth's apartment with food. The Diner was packed and they decided to get their order for 'to go'. They saw Hodings when they reached Booth's front door. Hodgins greeted them and asked them if they knew where Angela was.
"I've been calling her, but she doesn't answer. We had plans for dinner."
"She was taking a bath when we left." Brennan opened the door for him and he thanked her. Brennan, Booth and Parker entered Booth's apartment to dig into their food.
Angela had her eyes closed and was contemplating getting out of the tub when she heard footsteps approaching. She knew Brennan had gone out and her heart was racing. She heard the bathroom door open followed by a hand on her shoulder. She was instantly in motion, knocking the intruder back and falling on top.
"Jack?" She asked confused.
"Yeah. Temperance told me you were taking a bath when she had left and she let me in." Hodgins rubbed the back of his head with one hand.
"I'm so sorry. I knew I was alone in the apartment and I got a little jumpy." She kissed him on the lips as a form of saying 'sorry'.
After eating Parker headed for a shower and went to bed. Brennan and Booth sat on the couch and Booth pulled her to sit on his lap.
"Are you spending the night?" He asked with a suggestive tone. In case she didn't get his message, he kissed her neck as one hand went under the hem of her shirt.
"It's a school night and if I stay here, I won't be getting any sleep." She rotated her hips and his moan was muffled by his kisses on her neck. Brennan took his face in her hands and they shared a long, heated kiss. Pulling back for oxygen, Brennan rested her forehead against his. "I'll see you tomorrow." He nodded and they shared one more kiss before they rose from the couch. He walked her to her door and they shared another kiss.
Brennan entered the apartment and found that all was quiet. She figured Angela and Hodgins had gone out. Brennan walked towards the bathroom and took her shirt off as she opened the door. She let out a scream when she found Hodgins and Angela on the bathroom floor.
"Sorry…I thought you guys had gone out." Brennan quickly covered herself with her shirt and retreated out of the bathroom. Hodgins and Angela burst into laughter. They hadn't done anything more than kiss. Okay, a few touches too.
An hour later Brennan had showered and was getting ready for bed. Angela entered her room and sat next to Brennan on the bed.
"We were just kissing." Angela told her friend with a grin. "It's not like you don't kiss your hunky boyfriend." Angela playfully poked her friend's side.
"It wasn't the kissing part that had me taken aback. It was the 'naked woman on top' part." Angela did a fake gasp and grinned.
"I'm sure you've been 'naked woman on top' too." Angela grinned wider.
"Angela!" Angela laughed and stood. She hugged Brennan before walking to exit the room. "Good night and have some naughty dreams." Brennan shook her head with a smile as she got under the covers.
B&B
Parker was pacing out in the hall when Brennan exited her apartment to head for work.
"Hello, Parker." Brennan and the boy hugged and kissed.
"My dad's on the phone and I'm going to be late for school. Can you drop me off?" The Junior High was on Brennan's way to the Elementary and she wouldn't be going out of her way. Brennan nodded and stuck her head inside Booth's apartment. She told Booth's she was driving Parker and he nodded, sending her an air kiss.
The day had gone relatively fast. 'TGIF' was Parker's comment when Brennan had dropped him off in the morning and Brennan was glad it was Friday.
As Brennan parked her car in the building's lot, her cell phone rang. It was Booth. He asked her if she was on her way and she told him she was in the lot.
"Wait for me." He told her when he spotted her. He jogged over to her from his SUV. He wrapped his arms around her from behind and they shared a short kiss. "Are you hungry?" Brennan nodded. "Wanna go to that new place they opened on the next block?"
"Sure. And Parker?" Booth told her the boy was at the movies with friends. Brennan made a quick stop by her apartment to drop off her materials. "Let's walk." Booth nodded and held her hand as they made their way to the new restaurant.
On the ride back in the elevator Brennan rested her head on Booth's shoulder. He hugged her close.
"I'm going to be roommate-less in a few months." They both laughed at the made up word as they reached his front door. Booth opened his front door and they stepped inside, walking to sit on the couch.
"You could be my roommate." He whispered in her ear.
"I don't know." Brennan tilted her head, pretending to think about it. "I'm used to having my own bed and walking around in my underwear." Brennan joked.
"There are advantages in sharing a bed. And I have no problem with you parading in underwear when we're alone in our room. In fact, I'll encourage it." They shared a breath taking kiss.
"I'm still not convinced." Brennan shook her head playfully.
"Time for some convincing." Booth stood from the couch, bringing her up with him.
Is there interest? Drop me a line and let me know.
