Okay so this is my first Bones fic and it's dedicated to my sister Jamie because she decided she would not stop bugging me until I wrote a Bones fic that had Angela in it. I would appreciate reviews and on that not be as honest as you like. If you think it is absoutely terrible say so (but do try to say what is so terrible) if you think it's wonderful you can say that too. Thanks and hope you enjoy.
As for the timeline- Recent- as in Hodgins and Angela are married. However Hannah isn't in this story, not because I hate her, (because I don't really, though I am glad she Booth broke up) but because she didn't really fit.
"Don't you think Bren and Booth are perfect for each other? I mean look at how good they look together," Angela sighed happily. She and Hodgins were curled up on the couch in her office watching Brennan and Booth talk on the platform. "I wish they would just fess up to their feelings already and get together. That would make me so happy!'" Angela sighed again.
"And I don't make you happy?" Hodgins replied with a faux hurt expression.
"Of course you do sweetie" Angela soothed him with a pat on the knee a quick kiss before going back to observing the partners on the platform. "But I just want them to have a happy ending, like us," she glanced back at Hodgins flashing him a dazzling smile.
"I don't think I like where you are going with this," He said warily.
"Nonsense! There is nothing wrong with wanting your friends to be happy," she defended "It not like I'm plotting some super secret plan to get them together or anything" she remarked flippantly while giving him a sidelong glance.
"I wouldn't put it past you" he joked with laughing eyes and a small smile.
Angela thought for a moment then, "you're right, I would do that." … "But would it be so wrong if I accidently locked them in a closet or set them up on a romantic dinner?"
"Angela," Hodgins reprimanded gently, "Brennan and Booth are grown adults and if they want to start a relationship they will, but you should let them work it out in their own time."
"Come on Jack, you know they will never do it by themselves. They are too afraid! I only want to do something small-just tell them we are all meeting somewhere, not show up, and have a romantic dinner waiting," she implored.
"You don't need to push them Ange, just leave them be" He tried to reason with her.
"It's not a push, more like a gentle nudge in the right direction," Angela corrected with a pout.
"Please Jack, pretty please. I will never plot to help them realize their potential ever again. I promise." She gave Hodgins her patented puppy eyes.
"Don't make promises you can't keep." He countered with a serious tone and a smile tugging at his lips.
"Fine. I promise I won't do anything for at least a month," she amended. "Now will you please help me. Please, please, please." She tried again with pleading eyes and a pout.
Hodgins sighed. He couldn't deny her when she looked at him like that, especially when he could see the hope in her eyes increase exponentially with every second he waited to answer. "Fine. I'll help you," he relented. Hodgins smiled as he watched her bounce up and down joyfully at the prospect of setting up her best friend, then quickly before she squealed "But you have to tell them that you set the entire thing!"
"Thank you, thank you, thank you," she cried and threw her arms around Hodgins in an almost bone crushing hug.
"You're welcome," he laughed into her ear as he hugged her back.
She pulled back slightly to look at him, "Oh Jack, you just made me one very pleased wife . You're the best." She gave him another tight hug. All of a sudden a mischievous glint entered her eyes and she stood up pulling Hodgins with her, "Why don't I thank you properly and show you just how happy you made me," she whispered seductively. She winked as she tugged him out of her office and straight to the Egyptology department.
So next chapter Angela tries to convince Cam to go along with her crazy plan.
And remember- love it, hate it, or don't care review anyway :)
