This story was supposed to be a three-shot, but this chapter ended up longer than I expected and I thought it would be nice to give one entire chapter for their date. Besides, I'm traveling this weekend and I didn't want you without updates till the next week.
I hope you enjoy it. :)

"Wow, Bones!" Booth's mouth hanged opened when she left the closet wearing a gorgeous carbon dress. Her long hair was loose, covering almost half of her back and had perfect curls on the edge. "That's all for me?"
Brennan grinned, glad that the outfit worked exactly how she wanted it to, given her long-time-boyfriend's reaction.
"Of course I dressed up for you, Booth. Who else would I dress up to? And this must prove to you how much I love you, because believe me, I would not wear these killer high heels if I didn't." She smirked, coming closer to him to knot his tie, now something she would do completely naturally. When she finished her work, she leaned down to give him a quick kiss on the lips. "You don't look bad yourself."
"You know, Bones, it's very hard for me to not look good." He teased.
"Sometimes I wonder how such a huge ego can fit in your brain." She sighed dramatically.
"I'm just a man well aware of all his hotness, I've already told you." He kept teasing her and kissed her again.
"Stop, Booth, you're gonna mess with my hair." She giggled when he brushed his face on her neck.
"You smell so good." He said.
"But I didn't even put my perfume yet." She told him.
"You don't need perfume to smell good, Bones." He told her flirty.
"Oh, you are such a charmer, Seeley Joseph Booth." She chuckled and poked him playfully on the chest. "Do you think the kids are going to be okay at Angela's?"
"You're kidding me?" Booth creased his forehead and walked to take his shoes from the wardrobe. "I'm surprised that Belle didn't ask Angela and Hodgins to adopt her so she could live in that tree house they built for Lily yet. I mean, that thing is almost as big as my apartment!"
"I think it's good that they have a lot of space to play there, a child needs to run and have fun outside. Sometimes I feel guilty for raising Belle in an apartment." Brennan confessed.
Booth grinned. If his plans for that night went the way he wanted, moving to another place would probably happen soon. Since Isabelle's birth, Booth had been living there at Brennan's apartment most of the time. They would spend a night or two a week at his place but that apartment was practically abandoned. He actually didn't know for sure why he still had it. Brennan even turned the third room on her apartment in a 'guest room', which was just an excuse, because that was Parker's room. The boy spent weeks with his father and Brennan and even had his own wardrobe there.
"I don't think she has any complaints about it yet." He told her. He might, though, keep that idea of a house being a good place to raise kids in mind to use as an argument later during dinner. "And Parker… I feel for Angela. She'll probably have a hard time putting him and Hodgins to sleep tonight. Parker still talks about how awesome Hodgins playroom is, and he loves to brag to his friends how his squint friend has every single video game ever released."
"Up! Up! Up!" They heard giggles coming from the leaving room.
"Parker, I've already told you not to carry your sister like that, it's not healthy for your back, you are growing and it might harm your spine." Brennan rebuked the boy, who was giving his little sister a piggyback ride.
"Belle is very light, Bones." Parker said, bending down so the girl could climb off him.
"Yeah, Mommy, and it's fun." Belle opened her original and patented Booth charm smile, the one her mother was sure she gave Parker when she asked him to hold her and he was obviously unable to resist. Everyone was.
"Are you guys ready?" Booth asked, leaving the bedroom.
"Yep." Belle ran to the couch to get her Little Mermaid backpack. "I packed all my stuff."
"Really? By yourself?" Booth asked suspiciously. He knew Brennan had already packed their daughter's stuff to her sleepover night at the Hodgins' because he put the bag on the trunk of the car earlier that night.
"Yeah, I'm a big girl." She said proud of herself.
"Let me see what my big girl packed, then." Booth laughed and opened the backpack. "Two Barbies, a hair brush, three stickers, a DVD copy of Sleeping Beauty, a pair of Minnie Mouse slippers, a notebook and a colored pencil case." He said checking the stuff his daughter packed. "Yeah, I guess this is a survival kit." He joked.
"Told you, Daddy. I'm a big girl." The little girl opened a smile.
"Okay. Let's go then." He said, grabbing her hand.
"Oh wait! I forgot my earrings!" Brennan remembered and ran to the bedroom, or tried to run on those freaking high heels.
"You look hot, Bones." Parker commented when she came back.
"Whoa there, buddy!" Booth turned around and narrowed his eyes at his son. "You can take your eyes off my girlfriend."
"I'm just stating the truth, Dad." Parker smiled and winked at Brennan, who laughed amused.

"Are you sure there's no problem for you to watch them for us tonight, Ange?" Brennan asked her best friend.
"Of course not, Sweetie, that will be a blast. Your kids are very well behaved and you know I have a thing for chaos." Angela laughed. "Now you go out and enjoy your night with your hot man and do everything I would."
"If I recall correctly, last time Hodgins and you had a night out, it had that as a consequence." Brennan smiled and pointed at her friend's swollen belly.
"Exactly." She nodded patting her huge baby bump. "The boys are going to need a friend their age to play with."
"They'll have each other to play with, Ange. They are twins." Brennan pointed out.
"Yeah, I know, but they'll need someone else for those moments when they hate each other." Angela shrugged. "Come on, you can't break the scale. Don't you think it's awesome we both have daughters almost the same age?"
"It's really nice. It makes me really happy that our daughters are such good friends." Brennan agreed with a smile. She was very happy for her friend when Angela told her she was pregnant just a month after Isabelle's birth. Angela said it probably happened the night they were bailed out of jail and went to a hotel to celebrate their wedding, revealing her friend Hodgins had surpassed himself that night in bed, therefore, she wasn't that surprised when she discovered she was knocked up. She always wanted kids, so she couldn't be more thrilled when she found out about the pregnancy. "But… that doesn't mean we always have to bare kids at the same time. I'm not sure I can keep up with you. You're already having number two and three and I know you want a full house."
"Yes, but with Parker and Belle you have two already." Angela reminded her. "One more and we are even."
"Well… that's right. But I don't think I'll have another one after this one." Brennan bit her lips as soon as the words were out of her mouth. She wasn't supposed to tell Angela about that yet, not before she told Booth.
"This one?" Angela looked around. Belle was nowhere in sight. If she wasn't so surprised, she would have squealed on the top of her lungs. Brennan's smile gave her up. "Oh my God! You're-?"
"Mommy!" Belle came running from inside the house and almost ran into Angela's legs. A curly haired blonde little girl was running behind her. "You gotta see Lily's room! Auntie Ange just made the most amazing hut with sheets ever!"
"That's awesome, Belle." She smiled at her daughter and then looked at her friend. "You know, Booth is right, it's a surprise my kid never asked you to adopt her. It's so hard to convince a child you're a fun parent after she spend the day here."
"You fun too, Auntie Bones." Lily grinned. After spending a lot of time around Parker and Booth, Lily became the third person to call Brennan 'Bones'. Although, Brennan suspected it was more because 'Bones' was an easier word for a kid to say than 'Brennan' or 'Temperance' than anything else. "You and Momma are the best!"
"Yeah, we have the best mommies, Lil!" Belle agreed and hugged her mother's leg.
"Oh, both of you, stop with all the nice things about us." Angela wiped the tears from her eyes. "Damn, I want to kill Hodgins for turning me into this double hormone bomb!"
Brennan laughed. "Where's Booth? He better had not started playing 'just one match' with Hodgins and Parker on that super video game you have here. You know how that ends and I didn't dress up like this to stay here watching them act like they are Parker's age. No offence, Angela."
"None taken, Sweetie." Angela chuckled. "Oh, there is your man."
"Man, this house is almost like Disneyland!" Booth said with a huge grin. "Parker started playing a game in that wall size plasma screen with Hodgins and both of them asked me to apologize for not coming here to say goodbye."
"That's fine, I'm well aware of what those games do to you guys." Brennan rolled her eyes. "Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah, baby." He smirked and leaned in to kiss her. "I'm all yours."
"Oh, that was so hot." Angela commented and blushed when she saw four pair of eyes staring at her confused. "Sorry, the pregnancy hormones just make me so h-o-r-n-y." She spelled the last word so the girls wouldn't understand.
Booth and Brennan laughed. Not many things in this world made Angela embarrassed, she would mock them whenever she could, but she never did that in front of the kids.
"So, let's go?" Booth asked Brennan.
"Yeah, bye, Ange,and thank you again." Brennan said and hugged her friend. "Bye, Lily."
"Bye bye, Auntie Bones." Lily kissed her cheek when Brennan bent down.
"Bye, honey." She pulled Belle on a hug. "Behave."
"I always behave, Mommy." The little girl said.
"I love you." She said before letting her daughter go. Almost four years and she still hated when her baby didn't sleep at home. But it was for a good cause tonight. It's been a while since she and Booth had a night completely alone, and she knew Belle loved to stay with Angela, Lily and Hodgins.
"I love you, too, Mommy."
"Good night, princess." Booth planted a kiss on her head. "Bye, Ange, Lily."
He grabbed Brennan's hand and started walking away when he heard Angela shouting. "Have fun, you two!"
"We will!"
