AN: I know this chapter is a little bit short, but It was the first thing that popped into my head when I read the two phrases that are featured in this chapter
They are
Totus Tuus which means Always Yours
Seculo Seculorum which means Forever and Ever
"You know you didn't have to surprise me with dinner Booth," Brennan said as they walked hand in hand through the park
"Well I thought it would be a nice surprise," Booth said
"At that it was," Brennan said "But where are we going now?" she asked
"It's a surprise," Booth said
"What's with all of the surprises lately?" Brennan asked
"What's with all of the Latin lately?" Booth countered
"Touché," Brennan said
Booth laughed and brought his hands over her eyes
"Booth what are you doing?" she asked
"Just go with me here Bones," he said pushing her towards the lawn
"Booth, I can't see where I'm going," Brennan said
"That's the point Bones," Booth said "Just relax," he said pushing her forward
Brennan sighed "Ok," she said
"Alright, stand right here," he said "And open your eyes," he said removing his hands
Brennan looked at the blanket laid out over the park grounds, candles flickering around it "Booth…wow," she said
"No, the wow is soon to come," he said moving towards the blanket "Come on, you will figure out what I'm saying."
Brennan looked at him confused and walked over to sit next to him on the out stretched fabric
"Now close your eyes and lean back," he said
Brennan rolled her eyes and laid back, making sure not to catch her hair on fire, covering her eyes
Booth laid down beside her, shoulder to shoulder, "Ok, look up," he said
Brennan opened her eyes and looked up. The stars above her were illuminated beautifully and she easily picked out the constellations visible at this time of year "Booth…" she whispered
"I told you I listen," he whispered "I remember you saying you loved looking at the constellations with your mom, and I remember you telling me that this precise location was perfect for identifying the constellations."
"I'm impressed," Brennan said turning her head to look deep into his dark brown eyes "And very grateful. Thank you."
Booth smiled and kissed her nose. Brennan always wondered why couple would kiss each other's nose…and it still seemed slightly odd, but it seemed affectionate, and intimate when Booth was the one doing it
"So do you have some random Latin phrase that you want to bust out now?" Booth asked
Brennan chuckled and sighed contently "Two actually."
"Two? At one time, Wow this must be special," Booth said sarcastically "Alright, hit me with 'em."
"Why would you want me to hit you?" Brennan asked confused
Booth chuckled "Not literally Bones, I just mean, tell me that they are."
"Oh," Brennan said "Well the first is Totus Tuus," she said
"Which means…?"
"Totally yours," Brennan whispered
"Oh, I like that one! What's the other one?" Booth asked, sounding like a small child
Brennan chuckled "Seculo seculorum," she said
"Translation?"
"Forever and ever," Brennan said
"Oh I like that one too!" Booth said
"Totus Tuus, Seculo Seculorum," Booth repeated
"Totally yours, forever and ever," Brennan said with a smile
Booth smiled and pulled Brennan towards him and meshed his mouth to hers
"Forever and ever?" he asked
"Seculo Seculorum." Brennan promised
