Thanks for all of the reviews so far. You know what makes me write more…reviews, and also favorite stories, favorite authors, and alerts. Booth meets Brennan differently than he does in the first season.
Chapter one: Dr. Mom Met Agent Cocky Smiles
Brennan's POV:
Today was going to be my first day back at work. I had been on maternity leave for about six weeks and feel confident that my little Bonnie will survive without me for a few hours. But not with her father, I was taking her to Dr. Goodman's house where his wife had been so kind as in watching her.
"Time to go Bonnie." I whispered picking up her infant car seat.
"Now Bonnie, mommy has to go to work for awhile so you get to stay with my boss's wife. Now, please behave and don't cause too much of a fuss. This watching businesses really will help mommy out."
I looked down at Bonnie. She looked up at me with her big blue eyes. I smiled at her, "I know you'll behave." I whispered placing her into the car.
After I dropped Bonnie off I headed straight for the Jeffersonian. I couldn't wait to go back to what I loved doing.
"Ah, Sweetie!" Angela gasped running over to me, "How are you doing?! God, it's like I haven't seen you in ages!"
"Ange, I just saw you yesterday remember?" I giggled.
"Well, I feel bored and lonely without you around. So, you dropped off Bonnie?" Angela asked.
I nodded, "Yes, I explained to her how to act and behave in front of others."
Ange snickered.
"What?" I didn't understand why Angela was laughing. Did she not understand the importance of manners?
"Oh no reason sweetie, it's just, well, babies don't really understand everything you tell them." Angela said.
"Well Ange, Bonnie is different. She is smarter than most babies. Why yesterday I misplaced my African spirits necklace and just when I was about to give up I saw Bonnie holding it. She must have saw it and picked it up so as to give it back to me. She kind of sucked on it too though…" I said proudly.
Angela burst out laughing, "Sweetie, are you sure she just picked it up so she could play with it?"
"Believe what you want Ange, I know what Bonnie did." I said heading up to my office.
I got closer to my office I noticed something was different. The door to my office was open and I always keep it locked when I'm not there. Maybe Zach was looking for something.
A shadow went across the window. Funny, it didn't look like Zach. Could it be Derek? My heart started to beat faster as I mustered up the courage to walk into the room.
A man was kneeling on the floor rummaging through my box of cultural music. I couldn't tell who he was so I quietly reached for the large dagger sitting on my desk.
"Who are you?!" I asked pointing the dagger at the man.
The man jumped up in shock. He stumbled back and landed in the box of my CDs.
"Whoa, whoa! Easy there Bones! I'm Agent Booth." the man's brown eyes grew large as he eyed the dagger.
"Don't call me Bones. Why are you going through my stuff?" I asked angrily. The pet name didn't really bother me that much. Actually, I kind of liked it.
"Dr. Goodman said you could help me out on a case. We found this body that needs identifying and word around here says that you're the best." Booth said.
"Well, that's true I AM the best there is." I said proudly. I was very proud of my achievements, "But I'm busy so I can't really help you out at the moment."
Booth smiled, "You really don't have a choice. Dr. Goodman says you're required to go."
I frowned, "Fine, I'll go but I demand that all evidence passes through my team before going through yours."
Booth smiled, "If that's your wish, it is my command."
I sat in the passenger side of the gas guzzling machine. Agent Booth drove down the streets of D.C. We sat in silence.
"So…" Booth said finally breaking the silence, "I hear you have a kid."
"Agent Booth, we just met. I'd rather not discuss my personal life with you at this time." I said crossly folding my arms.
"Oh…okay…if you really feel that way-"
"And I do." I said.
"Then I'll just shut up now." Booth said solemnly.
"A very wise decision Agent Booth." I smiled. Maybe this man wasn't so bad after all.
Agent Booth pulled up at the, what I guessed, was the crime scene.
"Well, Bon-I mean Dr. Brennan, here we are." Booth said getting out of the car.
"Dr. Brennan!" a voice called.
I turned around, "Hey Zach. Zach, this is Agent Booth, Agent Booth-"
"I know, I know, Zach." Booth said rolling his eyes.
"How's Bonnie?" Zach asked.
"She's doing fine. Thank you for asking." I smiled, Zach was very thoughtful.
Booth rolled his eyes and walked under the yellow tape towards the body.
I sighed, "This is going to be a long day."
I hope you enjoyed. Please review!
