Hey guys! Here it is, the next chapter. I was so upset by the season finale. :-( I haven't actually watched it yet, but the ending sounds heart breaking. But this is a non related fic entirly, so here you go! Oh and all these UD's are dedicated to my friends on ff, whose pennames you can find on my profile (they are all excellent writers) so thanks Hayley, Hannah, Rachel, Tay, Doug and Alice! (You're probably gonna get sick of reading that!)
Chapter 7
"One sec," Angela said smiling cheekily, as she got her phone out of her jean pocket, "I – am going to take a picture, and then I can sketch it," she announced proudly.
"Dr.B isn't gonna like that" He said, amused.
"It's not about what she likes, oh they're so sweet, and they're like a family." She sighed.
"Don't get ahead of yourself or anything Ange." He said, amused as she snapped a photo.
"Oh I can't wait to show Cam and Sweet's!" She said, delighted.
"Oh whoa, wait a sec, show Cam, but you definitely won't be like for showing the psychologist, come on Brennan will kill you! And Elena doesn't need Sweet's poking and prodding at her, he hasn't been told about her yet!"
"Good point, come on then let's show Cam and the interns instead."
Hodgins rolled his eyes, but in a good spirited way as he was dragged from Brennan's office quietly leaving Booth, Brennan and Elena in peace.
Mere minutes later, Brennan began to stir.
She opened her eyes groggily, eyelids heavy and still tired despite the sleep.
She was warm, very warm she could feel other bodies pressed against her their body heat was what was making her so hot.
She must be in her office, because she wasn't at home… then it all came back to her, talking to an emotional Elena, who was currently asleep, half on her lap and half on Booth's. Of course, it would be Booth.
She was curled into her partner, and her head was resting on his shoulder, his arm draped around her protectively.
And it was scary, because it felt so right.
Not just Booth, there had always been something there, something that was just them and difficult to explain… I mean, they were partners, and they did there jobs very well. And they were partners… and maybe, just a little bit more?
But it wasn't just Booth, it was Elena too, Brennan felt an overwhelming burst of emotion in her figurative heart, as she felt and watched Elena.
She had absent mindedly put her arm around Elena whilst sleeping, and her head was rested in between her and Booth, just below Brennan's chin.
Her curls hung down, covering her face slightly and she could smell her flowery shampoo, and could just catch out of the corner of her eye her precious, sparkling necklace.
She looked calm, and had that honest, innocent little girl look, a look that every child should have when they open their eyes too.
And though it made her sad, Brennan knew that Elena wouldn't ever have that look in her eyes, she would have always seen things that most adults wouldn't have witnessed. That Elena shouldn't have had to witness. She'd seen too much for her age.
But Booth moving his head from the top of her head snapped her back to reality and she realized he must be awake.
"Booth, don't move!" She whispered urgently.
"Why not?" he whispered.
"Elena needs her sleep, so we have to stay so we have to stay like this for a while longer, she needs to rest."
"Bones, you can move six year olds and they might stir a little bit, but they will settle down again in about five seconds."
"How do you know? And I'm not sure I want to take that risk."
"I have a son, remember, trust me."
She paused, she did trust Booth.
"Fine, but if she wakes up…"
"Yeah, yeah I know, but she won't."
They gently prised themselves off one another, and Booth picked Elena, in such a tender manner, that Brennan was almost surprised. Almost.
He laid her back on Brennan's couch, and tucked a pillow under her head.
"Come on," Booth said, "Let's let her sleep."
"But what if she gets scared if we're not there when she wakes up?" Brennan asked fearfully.
"She's tough, and me and you are gonna sit outside the door anyway, so come on."
So they went outside her office and slid their backs down the wall to sit on the ground.
"I've got Parker this weekend, maybe him and Elena would get along. Do you wanna go out with us or something."
"Wait, you're leaving me by myself with Elena?"
"Come on Bones, she adores you, and on the matter you adore her, you'll be fine."
"But all weekend?"
"Yes, I'll check with my superiors, but I'm pretty sure she'll be going home with you, and if Elena has anything to do with it that's what'll happen."
"Booth, I can't do it!"
"What do you mean you can't do it?"
"Just all weekend, I'll do something wrong, what if I upset her? She's very upset emotionally at the moment, understandably so and what if I can't do it?"
Booth could see the panic rising in his partners face, and he knew she could do it, but the point was that she didn't know she could do it and he couldn't believe what he wass about to suggest but… "You have plenty of spare rooms right? Why don't me and Parker stay at your place? Parker would love it, he loves you and if you have enough space…?"
Her whole body visibly relaxed, "Thank you Booth, and I have plenty of spare rooms." She smiled, at him, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Anytime Bones, anytime."
