When Angela returned to the living room she found that Hodgins was at the door. When she got closer to her soon to be husband, she saw that he was talking to Booth. Booth was wearing sweats and nothing else. Angela arched an eyebrow at the way he looked and the way her friend had looked…and came to the conclusion that those two had been in bed when whatever it was that happened caused her to jump out of the bed.
"Angela, I need to talk to Bren." Booth said, desperately trying to talk to his girlfriend and find out what was going on.
"She's in her room." Angela said, moving to the side to let Booth in. "You can try and talk to her. She didn't want to talk to me." After a second's pause, Angela asked. "What happened?"
"I don't know." She could tell he was sincere. "One moment we were fine and the next she's out of the be…eeerr, the room." He cleared his throat and Angela did her best not to smile. He pointed towards the rooms and started walking.
Brennan was flat on her back on her bed, staring up at the ceiling. She closed her eyes, but not because she was sleepy. She was trying to think when there was a knock on her door.
"Angela, I told you I…" Brennan was caught off when she heard Booth speak on the other side of the door.
"Bren, what happened? Open up." She could hear the worry in his voice. He knocked lightly on the door again, resting his forehead on it. Brennan wanted, needed to be alone, but she couldn't just leave him there. Brennan rose from the bed and walked to her door. Booth felt the door crack open and he pulled his head back. Brennan only had the door cracked open enough for him to see half of her face.
"I need to be alone right now." She said and Booth was confused. Things had been going great.
"What went wrong?" He asked her. "What did I do or say that made you run out of my apartment?" He asked, hoping she'd open the door more fully and they would sit and talk about it. Brennan stuck a hand out and took one of his hands. She gave him a look that said 'we'll talk in the morning'. Booth, as much as he wanted to stay and talk to her at that moment, he knew she was asking for space. He nodded and gave her hand a reassuring squeeze before turning to walk down the hall.
"So?" Hodgins asked when Booth returned to the living room. Booth's head shake indicated the talk hadn't happened. Booth left the apartment and returned to his. He sat on his living room couch, going over what had been said and done before she hurriedly had left the bed.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Hodgins and Angela shared a kiss before Angela closed her front door. She sighed, wondering what was wrong with her friend.
Brennan couldn't sleep and she'd been tossing and turning in bed. It would be morning soon and she just couldn't stay in bed anymore. Brennan rolled out of bed, slipping on some stretchy exercise clothes. She padded into the kitchen without turning on any lights. She opened the fridge and took out some water.
"Sweetie, what's wrong?" At Angela's question Brennan jumped, spilling some water on the floor.
"Angela, you scared me." Brennan returned the water pitcher to the fridge and dried the water. Angela walked closer to her friend, placing a hand on Brennan's shoulder.
"Let's go for a ride." Brennan gave a short nod, knowing that talking with her friend was the way to go.
B&B
"Where are we going?" Brennan asked as Angela drove them to the outskirts of the city.
"Nowhere. We're just two friends out for a ride." Angela gave her a smile and Brennan returned it. Without being asked, Brennan told Angela what had caused her to practically fly out of Booth's bed.
"Oh, Sweeite." Angela searched for a parking space along the street she was on and stopped to look at her friend. "Moving in together shouldn't scare you." Angela took her friend's hands in hers.
"I'm afraid things will change once I move in." Brennan admitted what had her scared. Angela gave her friend a hug, trying to make her feel better.
"Bren, you can't compare him to your ex-worth-nothing-husband." Brennan laughed softly. Angela had never been fond of her ex husband.
"I don't." Brennan said when they broke the hug. "I really don't." And she didn't. Brennan didn't go around comparing Booth to her ex. She loved Booth and she knew he loved her and comparing him hadn't crossed her mind.
B&B
Booth hadn't been able to go back to bed or sleep. He was currently busy making breakfast for Parker, but his mind was elsewhere.
"Morning, Dad." Parker said, taking a seat at the dinning table. Parker looked around at the variety he had for breakfast this morning. Parker chose a piece of French toast and put it on his plate, covering it with syrup. "Did Bren help you with breakfast?" Parker asked, wondering where she was.
"No, Bren's not here." Booth sipped his coffee, trying to keep his worry out of his face.
"But she was here last night." Parker said in between bites of his food. Booth gave him a questioning look, wondering if the boy had heard them last night.
"W-what do you mean?" Booth asked, clearing his throat a few times.
"She was sleeping when the movie ended. When I was going to bed she was still here." Parker answered as he continued to eat. Booth sipped more of his coffee. His boy was growing up and soon would be asking other types of questions.
Parker rinsed his plate and cup when he was done. "Dad, can I go to my friend Eddie's house?" The boy asked enthusiastically.
"You were there yesterday." Booth gave a small head shake with soft laughter. "Eddie's mom's gonna go nuts with the two of you running around the house." Booth had a smile on his face.
"Please, Dad. Eddie's dad built an awesome tree house in the back yard!" Booth couldn't deny his son the fun of a tree house. After making sure with Eddie's mom if it was okay for Parker to be over, Booth drove his son there.
B&B
Booth had decided that a nice hot shower would help him relax and think more clearly. He hadn't been in the shower long when loud knocking caught his ear. He turned the water off and listened. Yup, there was someone knocking desperately on his door. He wrapped a towel around his waist as he went to answer the door. He checked the security hole and found Brennan standing there.
Brennan stared at Booth, dripping wet with only a towel around his waist. "Hey." His soft greeting was accompanied with a worried look. Brennan closed the distance between them and wrapped her arms around him, tucking her head under his chin. He returned the hug, placing a soft kiss on the top of her head.
"I'm sorry I left like that…" Booth took a step back, brining her with him so he could close the door. She pulled back from their hug and took his hand in hers, leading the way towards the couch. They sat down and Booth waited, patting her hand lightly to assure her that he was listening. She told him that when he mentioned moving in together had caused her to be scared. "It scares me that things will change once that happens." She admitted, lowering her gaze.
"But they will." His response caused her to look at his face again. There was still some water dripping from his hair. "You'd take up half of my closet space, half of my bed, there'll be more feminine products around the apartment…" They shared a grin, feeling at ease with each other. "Look, I didn't know you felt that way." He pulled her into a hug, the seriousness returning. "If you don't want to move in, I respect that." He pulled back to look at her; she nodded. "I love you, okay?" She nodded again. He placed a soft kiss on the top of her head again, his arms wrapping around her once again. "There's no pressure." He said; rocking them a bit and feeling all of her tension begin to fade away.
