They all stood struck dumb for what seemed like forever.
Cam was the first to regain the ability of speech, "Did she just basically i mean it can't be theres no way that her and Booth have a..." she trailed off still confused
"Kid." Wendell finished for her. He couldn't believe it either but from what they had been told thats how it looked,
"She's four her names Lilah." The words circled through all of their heads in an endless circle that was usually accustomed to a nascar race. Around and around and around at full speed so you couldn't tell what was going on.
"I have to talk to her." Angela said bolting from the office.
She found Brennan in her office which was no surprise. The way she found her however was a whole new shock. There sat the emotionless Dr. Brennan in the lap of a very sexy Special Agent Booth. He had his arms around her waiste and hers were around his neck. There foreheads were resting against each other as if it was the most natural thing in the world. She doubted they even knew she had entered tthe room they were so entranced with one another.
Angela cleared her throat loudly and caught the attention of the room's occupants. She gave them a pointed stare then just said, "Explain!"
It was enough to get them talking, "Well Ange you remember the day that Booth found out about the hit that was put out on him?" Brennan asked. At Angela's shake of the head she continued, "That day was the..." she was about to start crying again so she took a deep breathe, "the very day he told me he loved me and had for the entire year we had been partners."
Angela's eyes were the size of saucers. They had been partners for six years. A whole year of their partnership meant, "Five years?"
"Ange I am soo sorry we couldn't tell you that very day but with the hit we knew they would be going after Booth's loved ones as well and we couldn't take that chance so we have kept it a secret this whole time." she now was crying feeling so guilty that she couldn't have told her best friend. "We found out a couple hours ago that the man was killed so the hit was dissolved and you are the first person i wanted to tell."
"Oh Bren i am so sorry. At least you can tell me now." Angela said. Booth was rubbing soothing circles on her back so Angela waited to ask her next question until after she had calmed down enough to talk, "Bren who is Lilah?"
Brennan stiffened fearing that something bad was going to happen. No one knew and she had kept it that way for years. The only people that knew where Booth, Jared (Booth's brother), Jareds wife, and herself. She wasn't sure if she could say the words out loud. Sure they had visited but that was for a few hours every other weekend.
Just then Booth's phone rang , "Booth." he answered roughly
"Hey Jared."
"Tomorrow? Thats fantastic!"
"Ya hold on." Booth pulled the phone away from his ear, "Bones she wants to talk to you.
Brennan took the phone smiling from ear to ear, "Hi sweetheart."
"Ya we'll be there as soon sa we can."
"What color do you want them to be?"
"That will look really pretty."
"Okay baby, i love you too. See you tomorrow." with that said she flipped the phone shut and handed it to Booth standing uo and pulling him with her, "Listen Ange i am really sorry but we gotta go." Brennan said
"Ya we'll finish telling you asap but this is really important." Booth said.
The pair practically ran out of the lab, hand in hand.
"what was that about?" Wendell asked when Angela had exited the office
"The-they've been together for f-five years now." she managed to choke out between sobs.
"What?" Hodgins asked
"You remember the hit on Booth right?" Angela asked.
"Of course, how could we forget?" Cam asked
"That's the day he told her he loved her and wanted to be with her. The man who issued the hit would have gone after Booth's loved ones so they couldn't tell anyone." She summarized
"Well i have one more question." Wendell announced
"Ya?" Angela asked still slightly crying. she felt so bad for Bren.
"Who the h3ll is Lilah?" He asked
A/N: So I left ya a little in the dark. I'm evil, I know. any guesses as to who Lilah is? I'd love to hear your opinions. Any ideas to :)
