Brennan and Booth were having their session with Sweets, although Sweets felt like Booth was not acting like his usual self. Booth didn't know what to do, or what to think that dream he had in his coma was still bugging him even though he's with Brennan now. He didn't like this feeling, he didn't want to talk about it with Sweets either nor in front of Brennan, but he should be open with Brennan right? She might get upset if he didn't tell her.
Later Sweets managed to catch Booth alone; he just wanted to ask what was going on "Agent Booth is it okay if I ask you something?" Sweets asked making Booth turn around "Like what?" Booth asked looking out the door, waiting for Brennan as usual; he always waited for her no matter how long it took for her to come. "I just want to ask, is something bothering you? You were acting strange in our session today." Sweets asked hoping that he wouldn't get defensive about it. "There's nothing wrong Sweets, I'm doing fine!" Booth replied smiling but still looking for Brennan "No you're not! It's written all over your face!" Sweets said making Booth a little tense about the situation. "It's the dream isn't it?" Sweets asked, Booth looked at Sweets for a moment and went back to watching out for Brennan "You're with Brennan but you're still not happy, you want more then that right?" Sweets added to his last sentence "You want to marry her don't you?" Booth tried not to look at Sweets, he was right but he didn't want Sweets to know, he works for the FBI after all "And if I'm correct the dream you had was everything you want right now, you want a family with Brennan" Sweets continued "Shut up Sweets!" Booth exclaimed as he saw Brennan coming towards the room, Booth walked out the door, although it didn't seem it, Sweet's words had a big impact on him, it was possible that was what he wanted, but it had only been a few months since they started dating it's too soon right?
"Booth...Booth!" Brennan said making Booth come out of his deep thought "What's wrong? You've been weird since this morning!" Brennan smiled "It's nothing, I'm fine." Booth replied unsure. Sweet's words kept on echoing through his head, it bugged him all day, it was impossible to ask her right now, like he thought before it's been only a few months, even if he did want to marry her, even if he did want the family he had in the dream...it was impossible right now. Especially since Brennan wasn't a one for marriage, or kids or anything family related. But since he proved her wrong in the: "I'm a scientist, not a gambler" thing, perhaps he could...? "Booth?" Brennan said as he stood up in front of her "I know it's sudden but-:" Booth said before being interrupted by Angela who just walked through the door "Are you two busy?" Angel asked making Booth sigh, he as usual missed his chance "No Angela, I and Booth were just talking" Brennan replied "I got to go so; I'll meet you at the diner as always?" Booth said sadly "Yeah, and uh, although I'm not very good with these things, I'll try to help with whatever's bothering you" Brennan replied making Booth smile, he walked out saying "shoot" under his breath.
Booth was sitting with Brennan at the diner, 'another opportunity for me to blow' Booth thought heavily as Brennan had a worried expression on her face "Bones, how would I feel if I asked you to like, marry me? Not that I'm asking you! It's just that IF I did" Booth suddenly said to break the silence "Oh...Booth I..." Brennan said before stopping in her sentence "Sorry, you can ignore that I just curious" Booth said trying to brush it off. "No wait, if I think about the facts to consider my answer it would be yes" Brennan continued as if he hadn't stopped her. "why are you all of the sudden interested in my-:" "It's nothing Bones, just curiosity" Booth interrupted, she smiled and giggled a little "For a minute there I thought you were going to propose to me in front of everyone, I would be too anxious to answer." Brennan said, Booth just smiled "You? Anxious? I don't believe that!" Booth laughed "I know, but it's a big thing I guess so I prefer if you asked me when we're alone, not as if I want you to ask just if you do, it just saves you from suffering public humiliation if I say no." Brennan added before looking down and thinking to herself: "Don't giggle like an idiot! Ask why he's asking these questions!" "Don't worry about it; it's a bit too soon for that right?" Booth said "We've been in love with each other for years, so it may be possible" Brennan answered the thing she didn't want to answer "Did I just hear what I thought I heard?" Booth thought to himself.
Booth and Brennan walked out the diner, although Booth didn't manage to ask what he wanted to ask but he now knows what her answer might be...
