I want to thank you all again for the support and reviews. I'm really enjoying writing this story. I think I'm going to cover everything to the end of the 6th season and then try my best to fill in the gap between the 6th and 7th season because we all know there's a HUGE gap there! Oh, and so as to clarify any confusion, Chapter 1 starts on a Thursday. I'm not sure what day it was on the show but seeing as how I wanted them to spend a weekend together, this story had to start on Thursday.

Don't own them… wish I did. Ok, here we go!

Chapter 7

Booth's Thoughts

Last night might very well have been the best night of my life. It started in my living room. She was happy, genuinely happy, about the possibility of being pregnant with my child. Now, we are actually trying to get pregnant. I can't help but to ask myself where all of this is coming from. First, she turns me down. Then I find someone. It had hurt her. She finally realized that she wanted to be with me but then it was me who just couldn't do it. But after that whole mess was over she was still there. She had even said she wanted to try to be together. We end up in bed together and then we are together and now we are here, in my apartment, trying to make a baby. She is in my bed, sleeping peacefully curled up to me and all I can do is hold her tight and think because my brain just will not shut off. After what we just did, there is no wonder why my brain is in overdrive.

Ok, what time is it? Great, it is nearly five and I am still awake. Maybe if we talked I could get some sleep. Maybe I'll wake her up. She looks so peaceful, though… so content. It's not often I get to see her like this. Wait a just minute… we don't sleep in the same bed often, wait... no ever. Now we will be but… ok, now I am just rambling to myself. I need to talk to her.

Brennan's Thoughts

I hear him whispering to me. I'm awake but I don't want to be. I feel him kissing my cheek. I snuggle up closer to him. I'm not one to snuggle but this feels good. He's whispering in my ear. I suppose it is time to wake up. At least I'm waking up to happy instead of alone.

"Hey, Bones," he said softly into her ear before lightly kissing her cheek.

She stirred a bit, snuggled closer but didn't wake up. "Bones, wake up," he whispered again.

"Mmm… hey. What time is it?"

"It's early, around five."

"Have you been to sleep yet?"

"No. Can we talk?"

"Yeah," she said, turning slightly so that she could see him better. "What's wrong?"

He pulled her closer, holding her tighter to him. "Are you really happy about this… I mean, us… I mean, all of this?"

"I said I was. I am. Why?"

"It just doesn't seem real. This, I mean, look at us. This has been a dream of mine for years. To all of the sudden just have it. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled, completely and totally beyond thrilled. It's just… wow."

"Yeah, I know. When I realized that I had missed my chance, it hurt. It hurt so much. I've never been good at feeling emotions. So the chances of me being able to feel the emotions, process them and then do something about them… well, you were there. It just didn't happen till it was too late. I'm grateful for a second chance at this… at us. Well, maybe this our third chance, right? Anyhow, I'm not missing this chance. I ready for this. I want this. I want you."

"I want you, too, so much. So much, it hurts."

"I'm here. I'm not going anywhere." She scooted up him, reaching for his cheek. She touched him, but just barely. Leaning in, she kissed him. He moved one hand to the back of her head, burying his fingers in her hair.

The kissed lasted for like what seemed a lifetime. Eventually, the kiss had to break, but for no other reason than they realized a lack of oxygen does no one any good.

"I can see why you wonder about this being real." he whispered. She laughed. "You know, it does feel a bit unreal. I tend to hold a lot of myself back and now it feels so wrong to do that. It's been two days. I don't like hiding behind my professional persona. I guess it is a defense mechanism. With you, though, I feel like I can just be me. I've never been able to just be the real me around anyone. I even have trouble being completely open with Angela. I feel so…"

"You feel free. You feel like you belong. You feel happy, really happy, scary happy. You feel like you have finally found that one thing you were missing in life but you didn't know it was missing. As much as is scares you it also thrills you and you can't get enough."

"Yes, but how…"

He cut her off with a kiss. "I know that that is how you feel because that is how I feel. Nice, isn't it?"

"Yes, very nice."

"So, it's Saturday. I don't have Parker this weekend. What should we do?"

"I'm not really hungry right now, but I think we should get some breakfast soon."

"Well, I guess we'll be going to the diner because I am almost positive that I have nothing in my kitchen that you would like."

"I'd like to shower first, if that's ok."

"Of course it's ok. Do you need help?"

"Of course I don't…. oh, you were joking."

"You know, I was only sort of joking. Would you like help?"

"As much fun as that would be, if you don't mind, I'd like to pass on this one."

"Oh…"

"Definitely later, though."

"Definitely!"

"Oh, can you at least take a nap while I shower?"

"I think I can manage that."

"Good… because if you plan on having any energy later you need rest now."

He gave her a quick kiss before un-wrapping his arms from around her. She slowly got out his bed, grabbed her bag, and headed for the bathroom. If she was going to make it through this weekend she was going to need a few minutes to herself to get her thoughts straight.
