A.N : I'm truly sorry that it took so much time to update. But as I've said , I was on call at the hospital. And unfortunately, what I expected to be a 24hs shift became a 48 hs one, because one colleague missed work. So…short people on the E.R… not good! So, I had to stay. And boy, it was a messy shif. As you already know, I'm a doctor. What kind? I'm a general clinic and an emergencist. So, my life is the E.R. Heart attaks, car crashes, bullets, blunt traumas…they are my thing. Have you ever seen the TV show ER? Believe me, that's nothing compared to real life.

Anyway, when it was finally over, I was almost comatose with sleep. I've slept 14 hours straight.

But to make amends, this chapter is bigger than the others. I hope you enjoy and review.

Oh, and Bones? Not mine, dude!

CHAPTER 7- THE REASON AND THE HEART- PART 2

" Just like that, Ange. He said " No divorce". And then, he goes on with this speech about his catholic beliefs, and how de had already made a mistake by marrying like we did, so he couldn't just perpetuate the mistake with another one, meaning divorcing. He goes about how marriage has to be taken seriously ,and that we would be trying to correct an error with another. And then, he gives me these little dog eyes and ask me not to make him a divorced single parent! This is utterly unfair!" Temperance spoke all of that in one breath only, her chest once again heavy by the greatness of what Seeley Booth was having the nerve to ask her. She was so busy with the wheels in her brain that she didn't hear Angela's snorting on the other side of the phone.

" Did you just say little dog eyes, Bren? I think you meant puppy eyes, sweetie." Angela smiled at her best friend's awkwardness with expressions, while processing what she was listening. Oh, this was so much better than any soap opera. " But I can imagine Booth using these points. It goes with his personality, that's for sure. And puppy eyes? Ooh, now that gotta be a hard thing to say no." She mused loudly, trying to imagine agent hot stuff with pleading sweet chocolate eyes. Yup, definitely something hard to fight against it.

" That's exactly what I'm saying, Angela! How am I supposed to deny him anything when he uses this face and those facts? He even used the antrophologicall meaning of marrying. But this is just insane. I mean, I can't possibly be even considering this. Clearly, I'm more susceptible to emotional blackmail than I ever knew.I don't even understand how I've ended up saying yes to all this marriage thing in the first place. Of course I was a little drunk, but for god's sake, I wore a white dress." She was trying really, really hard to understand, she was. Really. But honestly…What was she thinking? A sudden memory of Booths eyes in hers, during the ceremony, flashed in her head. His eyes were so full of…love. It felt as he was putting everything he had on that look. And she remembered feeling so complete. Brennan felt a shudder over her spine. I think I'm loosing my mind."

" Wait. Wait a second. You remember what you were dressing? You remember all the wedding?" Angela's voice was strangely full of excitement.

" Of course I remember, Ange! What does that have to do with the current problem? I'm still unwingly married to Booth, and he still wants to remain that way."

Angela Montenegro was no fool. She always saw that between Temperance Brennan and Seeley Booth, that was something deeply strong buried, something much bigger than physicall attraction, sex, even friendship. She oftenly teased then about the obvious sexual tension, but she knew that was just the tip of the iceberg. But those two were a hell of difficult human beens. Both had so much issues, that made then terrified of admitting how much they really cared for each other. Angela always wondered what would happen when one of them finally lost control. She just never assumed that it would happen for both, at the same time.

" Sweetie… that has everything to do with the problem. You see… when you told me that you were both drunk when got married, I thought you were completely wasted. You know, without any control of your actions. I thought your mind was blank and dull. Hell, I was counting with alcoholical amnesia! But… you knew what you were doing! And that, Bren, gives a completely different perspective." Angela smiled to herself, knowing that what she was going to say next was about to freak her friend beyond heavens. " You say you want to understand why you did it? Well, sweetie, that is one very easy question. You did it because you wanted to marry Booth. Simple as that." Those words met a death silence on the other side of the line, and Ange Knew that she 've had hit a nerve. She jiggled a little with her feet once more, celebrating her at least temporary victory, and gaining again odd looks from her colleagues. She even realized that jack and Cam were speaking really fast with each other, glancing at her from time to time. But she didn't care. Angela have a battle to win., and her opponent was not just an easy one. It was the one and only Dr. temperance Brennan. Who was frantically trying to retort her best friend's last words.

" What? No way, Ange! Look, I think that you'be been spending too much time with dr. Sweets. This is pure psicologic speculation. The best thing, you are going be telling me about how my unconscious wanted to marry Booth so much that used alcohol as a scape,and…"

" Bren, would you stop rambling and just listen to me for a while? You called for my advice, so would you be kind enough to hear what I have to say without interrupting all the time? Just let me go with this, ok? After this, I promise you will be free to try and refutate every single word of mine. Do we have a deal?" Angela could almost see Brennan fidgeting with her hair the way she always did when nervous, considering her words. She could also hear for real her sigh of pure frustration.

" Fine. But just because I will hear, doesn't mean I'm agreeing with you." Bones perched herself on the toilet seat, trying to get confortable and also trying to ignore the ridiculouness of the situation. She, a Ph.D, was hiding in the bathroom from a man. And not just a man, but her best friend, partner, and the person she was in bed about just half an hour ago. I feel like I'm back to my adolescence.

" That's all I'm asking right now, sweetie. Now, you remember about what I said about you having to cath up with your own reality? Well, this is a perfect example." Angela was the perfect picture of the cat that just had caught a mouse. " You weren't drunk beyond obliviation. In fact, my guess is that both of you were… kind of heavily tipsy. But still, knowing what to do and to want. The difference was that none of you were carefully avoiding any kind of major intimacy as you usually do. The alcohol gave you, let's put that way, the courage to act the way you both would like normally, but are too afraid to do. And I swear that I get why you do that. You two care too much one to another to try and risk your friendship with the next step, the romance. That's too much at stake. Even your carrers would get more complicated if you decided to just kiss that danm yummy mouth. But the desire had always been there, and you know it, sweetie. So, yesterday, it seemed a perfect night to explore those feelings and sensations, for both of you were less shy thanks to the alcohol, and more daring. I'm guessing that one thing led to another, and somehow you've realized how great it could be if you two stayed together. You decided to take the next step, and ok,I'll admit that the wedding was maybe a bit too much. But right then, on the spur of the moment, you wanted, Bren. And that alone got to have you think." Angela took a deep breath, knowing that her next choice of words would be crucial.

" I understand that what Booth is asking you is huge, specially for you, because it goes against what you believe. But sweetie… think really hard. Don't you think that Booth's beliefes are a little more difficult to give up? We're talking about religion here, about sacred things, at least to Booth. Er're talking about a man that put his family beyond everything, and until today feels guilty for not providing to his son the family that he was taught to have. You know the drill, a kid, a mom, a daddy, all in the same house. A true family. You know how much that hurts Booth. Imagine now how terryfing it must be for him the prospect of a divorce." She was about to continue, when an anguished voice came out of the other side.

" Ange, I know all of that! Why do you think I couldn't say no right away? Booth is one of the most important people of my life. What Am supposed to tell him, Ange? You know me. You know the true. I would do anything for Booth,."

And that was exactly where Angela intended to get in the first place. The trap had worked. She danced a little more, avoiding to sing or scream in order to prevent Brennan from realizing her spirits and her true intentions. But danm, I'm smart. Oh, Brennan couldn't get away now. In a very sweet voice, Angela Montenegro finished her attack. Oohh, like a leopard caughting a deer down the savannas…

" Bren, sweetie. Did you just hear yourself? You just gave your answer no Booth's request." It was getting harder not to shriek. Her body was already out of control, and she started waving frantically for Jack, Cam and now Clark, who had just approached. They're never going to believe this! Hell, I still don't!

" How could I possibly have given my answer? I didn't say yes at all!" But still, Temperance felt her heart racing.

" You've said you would do anything for Booth. That is your answer, sweetie." The song of the movie " Madagascar" kept repeating on Angela's ears, and she moved her body like crazy. She could actually hear the drums. Oh, her best friend was going to capitulate, she just knew it!

" But Ange" She wasn't going to let Bren rationalizate too much. It was for her brainy friend own good.

" No, Bren. Just listen to me. Do this for Booth. And do this for yourself. Sweetie, I know you don't believe in destiny, but… science has proven that random happenings are mathematic bound to find each other and collapse becoming an unique path. You and Booth are one of those happenings. And you two are fate too, as far as I am concerned. Just… don't finish this without trying to taste it first. You know I love you and all I want is to you to find happiness. And I think that it might be it. But you'll never know unless you try it, sweetie. Look… you're single. So is Booth. You obviously care about each other. You know, most relationship don't achieve in years what you two already share. Just… give it a try, honey. If you regret it later, divorce will always exist. You don't have to be an ordotoxal couple immediately, if you get what I mean. You can take things… slowly. Talk a lot to him. See what comes from this. But don't screw this before you know if this could be the worst mistake os your life, sweetie." Angela have tears in her eyes, the kind and caring woman in her aching for her friend. Why every thing in Brennan's life had to be so complicated?

" Are you telling me to… set boundaries in this marriage?" Bones asked carefully, making sure if she was following her friend's logics. She could actually see some, Lord help her.

" If you call so, sweetie. Yeah, start with boundaries. Discuss it with Booth. But please, give it a shot. I swear I wont even be furious because you got married without letting me know or asking me to be your maid of honor. But in trade, you'll have to give a full report of your naughty activities with agent hot stuff, of course." Once Angela, always Angela, right? She heard a loud sigh from Temperance's side, and then, a very soft laugh.

" I'm not sure, Ange… this is so…different than the usual me." In her heart, Brennan had already her decision. Nevertheless, she still need reassurance.

" That doesn't mean it's not you too, sweetie. Just… promisse you're going to be still married when you come back. Can you do that?" Angela held her breath for a moment, praying for her friend.

" I'll still be using those stupid rings when I come back, Ange. I promise." Temperance closed her eyes for a second, absorving what she've just compromised. If there is a God, please help me. A loud whoop was heard on the phone, followed by Angela's excited voice.

" That's what I'm talking about sweetie! Be wild! And you know what? You really should stop talking to me and go get your man." By then, Angela was already running like crazy on her team direction, like her life depended on it.

" Booth is not my man, Angela. He's not a possession. But you are right, I should go talk to Booth." Brennan gave one small sly smile, knowing that what she was about to say would drive her best friend insane. " And Ange? He is unstoppable, you know? Booth, sex speaking. And point G ? He doesn't need anyone to point it for him. Because he transform the entire female body into a giant and unique point G." And with that, Temperance hung the phone, a wicked grin in her lips.

Back at the Jeffersonian, Angela stood frozen on her own spot, mouth open, processing what she've just heard.This is soooooo hot!. But that lasted only a moment, and soon she was running until collapse into Hodgins arms, jumping up and down, shrieking,singing, whooping, a cacophony of sounds that none could actually understand.

" Jack,jack,, fuck!!! Heavens…Bells…Bren and Booth…Cam,girl! None…believe!! Freaking hell…oh…vegas, baby!! They…Oh my God! Danm, I'm good…"

" Ok, whoa, Ange. Really, you're making no sense at all. Stop to breath a little,will you?" Hodgins grasped his girlfriend stopping the jumping, and she took a deep breath, nodding in agreement. " Okay, good. Now. Cam and I here have a teory. Is that correct that you are acting like this because Dr. B and G-man finally lost it and did the good stuff?" Even Clark, who often complained about being presented with too much information about the team personal lives, looked curious. Angela kissed jack lightly, before opening a broad smile and talk.

" Oh, they did it all right. But that's just the beginning, trust me… ooh, we sure as hell will need to decorate the entire lab before they come back. Those two will have quite a reception…" The other three exchanged confused looks, despite shocked by the confirmation that Booth and Brennan had, indeed, had sex.

" Ange…I love you and all, but you can be a little annoying sometimes, you know? Care to elaborate? Why in hell we'll need to decorate this place?

Angela plastered another kiss in her boyfriend, before puffing her chest and announcing with every word.

" Because, ladies and gentleman from the good Jeffersonian Institute… Dr. Temperance Brennan and Special Agent Seeley Booth just got married." She said it loud and clear, and for the first time in it's entirely existence, the Jeffersonian institute literally stopped. No sound was heard, no move was made. Every face stood agape staring at Angela Montenegro. Only Cam was able to speak, and only in a mere whisper.

" This one, I haven't seen it coming."

TBC…

Does anybody misses Booth? You see him again on next chapter… it just depends on your feedback…
