The Dead Man in Booth's Building: Dead Men Tell No Tales

After that it was just a matter of time before she was offered the position of Dr. Brennan's grad student. Her relationship with Seeley was still going fine and she had even considered staying the night. And even possibly telling him the truth.

It was after she approached Jack and Angela and asked for more about the Zack situation that she made up her mind. She would have to tell them all, but at the right time. If she ever wanted a remote chance that she could stay here and be happy(at work and with Seeley) she would have to come clean. Her original plan of having the case file and some of the evidence just show up in the lab had to be thrown out. After the smuggling ring was uncovered in the Authentication Department, the mailroom had become more secure than Fort Knox.

Booth took her out to lunch to celebrate her officially getting the position and to informally brief her on her upcoming appointment with Dr. Sweets for the transition to permanent staff at the Jeffersonian and peripherally with the FBI.

Sitting across from Lily, he noticed she seemed to be somewhere else. After the small talk about their days so far and ordering desert (apple pie of course), he reached across the table and gently took her hand. She snapped her head up from staring into her drink, and looked at him somewhat startled.

"I didn't mean to scare you babe, but you seem a little distracted-what's up?"

As she opened her mouth to speak, they both turned to the sound of small running feet and a shout of "Daddy-Lily!"

Parker ran up followed by his mother. Immediately Lily's face changed-whatever she was going to say would have to wait.
