Disclaimer: Bones belongs to Fox.
Brennan wasn't expecting Booth's other hand on her body and she was slightly taken aback when she felt his hands span her waist and move lower. The movement caused her to stumble forward, crumbling her balance. She used her hands to brace herself on the bottom inside of the cabinet and was glad she didn't bump her head against anything.
"Shit. Sorry, Bones." Booth managed to voice those words as his arms wrapped around her, pulling her body back against his and sending his cell phone far from his hand as it fell in the process. He sat on the bathroom floor with her between his legs and kissed the side of her face, now in complete darkness.
"I'm okay." She assured him as she allowed one hand to caress his right upper thigh. He couldn't see the smile on her face, but when she started laughing softly Booth knew what she was thinking.
"Yeah, you're hard to resist." He whispered in her ear as his hands slipped under the hem of the long sleeved shirt she was wearing. Brennan bit her lower lip in anticipation of the feel of his wandering hands on her body. She threw her head back to rest against his left shoulder as his hands slowly caressed her abdomen.
"Mmmhmm…" Brennan's low moan was music to his ears as his lips continued to kiss along her neck. Booth found it extremely erotic to have his hands and lips on her, to be able to smell his Bones' unique scent and to hear her moan, yet not be able to see her. He growled against her neck as his hands moved higher on her body. Brennan's hands gripped his thighs as his hands reached her breasts. Booth took in a deep breath as his hands closed over her breasts. His lips found their way to hers as his hands slowly massaged her breasts.
Her lips parted, granting him entrance to her mouth. Their kiss intensified the moment their tongues touched. Booth was very aware that if he didn't stop touching her breasts, he would strip them down to nothing in that instant. Kissing her with all his love and passion Booth prepared himself for the difficult task ahead of him. Brennan groaned her disapproval as soon as Booth's hands left her breasts. She could tell he was trying to control himself and she didn't like when he pulled back from their kiss. The sounds of their rapid breathing were heavy in the otherwise silent bathroom. Sighing and telling herself to relax Brennan moved the upper half of her body away from Booth. She patted the floor with her right hand in search of Booth's cell phone.
"Got it!" Brennan announced as her fingers curled around the device.
"Trust me; I'd know if you had IT." Booth responded shifting his hips in hopes of relieving the discomfort in his lower half. He fought the urge to unsnap his jeans. He knew that if he unsnapped his jeans, little brain would check in and big brain would check out. Brennan smiled as she hit a key on the cell phone and used the light it shone to get back to their original task: the candles. "Oh, that IT." Booth said when he saw the light. He fell back and covered his eyes with one arm, even though there was hardly any light, and took in deep breaths.
The partners walked down the stairs after what seemed like an eternity to the two, but in reality was only less than ten minutes. Booth had his hands full with the candles, not daring to touch her again. He could feel Brennan to his side and he was carefully making his way down the stairs.
"No! Stop it!" Booth was on alert the moment they reached the foot of the stairs and he heard Tommy's voice. He felt Brennan move forward and he was about to drop the candles and take action, thinking there was a threat on his family, when he heard Brennan speak.
"Tracey and Parker are telling scary stories." Tommy crossed his arms across his chest as he answered Brennan's question of what was going on. Booth instantly relaxed and walked forward, bumping against the coffee table. Brennan, Tracey and Parker all directed their open cell phones towards Booth.
"Thanks." Booth gave them his charm smile as he worked on lighting the candles. "Muahahahaha." Booth used the lighting effect to his advantage as he did his best horror inspiring laugh.
"Sorry, Daddy." Tommy said as he settled between Brennan's thighs. "Tracey and Parker are scary, not you." Booth made a fake pout as the others laughed.
They were all seated with their back against the couch, talking comfortably in the candle lit living room. Booth enjoyed the smell of the candles and kept himself from giving further thought to the fact that those candles were used by Brennan when she took relaxing baths.
The teens were aware that it was getting late and that sooner or later Booth would say it was time to go home. It had occurred to them when the partners were upstairs getting the candles to suggest that Parker and Booth stay for the night. They were waiting for the right time to throw that out there and found it when they heard Tommy yawn.
"Yeah!" Tommy agreed to Booth and Parker spending the night. Booth turned to Brennan and said he had no problem.
"There's a guest room…"Brennan started but was cut off.
"A camp out here in the living room would be awesome." Tracey and Parker stated in unison.
"Yes!" Tommy said, forgetting about his sleepiness for a moment. The partners looked at each other, neither one of them disliking the idea.
"All set!" Parker whispered. Parker and Tracey shared a fist bump as they looked over the sleeping arrangements they made. The two decided on sleeping bags. Tommy decided he wanted to sleep in a sleeping bag too, following the big kids' example. Parker and Tracey were glad that without knowing it Tommy had helped with their plan of getting the partners to sleep together. Tommy, Tracey and Parker took their spots and waited for the partners to settle in.
"Booth, perhaps the couch would be better for your back." Brennan offered as she settled on the blanket the kids had set up on the floor. Her couch was better than the floor and she didn't want Booth's back to hurt. Tracey and Parker did an inward groan. Seriously! They came up with a very good plan in the moment and Brennan was the one who was going to ruin it. Ugg!
"What?" Booth stated in a fake outraged tone as he put out the candles. "And let you keep that nice, big and warm blanket all to yourself?" His grin was barely visible as he put out the last candle. "Oh, no, Bones. You gotta share." He commented with a laugh as he settled next to, covering both their bodies with the blanket. Tracey and Parker breathed a sigh of relief. So far so good. The layout was in place just how they intended: Parker, Tracey, Tommy and the partners, in that order.
"Third time's the charm." Booth whispered in Brennan's ear, his hot breath sending delicious shivers done her spine. "First, in the SUV I dropped you when you kneed the boys." He continued to whisper in her ear as he remembered the night he spent with her in her bed two weeks ago. "But you're safe tonight." He lightly bit her earlobe. "You can't go lower than the floor." He whispered, a light laugh escaping his lips. Brennan laughed along, loudly and couldn't help it.
"Shh." The partners tried to keep their laughter in after Tommy shh'd them, but it was difficult. Tracey and Parker smiled. Things were running smoothly so far.
B&B
"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy." Brennan didn't know how long she'd been asleep for when she was awoken by Tommy calling for her.
"Here." Brennan replied sleepily as she extended her hand in the boy's direction. She felt the boy touch her hand and heard the rustling of his sleeping bag. The boy settled next to Brennan, wrapping the blanket over his body.
"Ahh." The boy let out happily.
"Nightmare?" Brennan asked as she ran a hand through the boy's hair. Tommy shook his head 'no'.
"I was cold, but it's so warm here." He smiled as he closed his eyes to go back to sleep. Brennan kissed the top of boy's head and she too closed her eyes to go back to sleep. She smiled when she felt Booth press closer to her, throwing an arm around Tommy and her. She remembered Booth's words outside the diner in the earlier years of their partnership.
There are different kinds of family.
He's right. Brennan thought to herself. She also remembered Tommy's comment a couple of weeks ago. The boy had made the same 'different kinds of family' comment and when Brennan asked him where he picked it up he told her about his talk with Daddy.
B&B
It was going to be morning soon and Tommy needed to go to the bathroom. He wasn't scared because there was some early in the day light coming in through the window. He could see perfectly fine and he pulled back the blanket and dashed towards the bathroom.
"Hey!" Tracey and Parker protested when the child climbed over them on his way to the bathroom. Tracey turned on her side towards Parker glad that her little brother hadn't stepped on her cast.
Brennan felt the chill of the air in the room and turned to her other side, seeking the warmth of Booth's body. She buried her face in the crook of his neck and Booth, still in his sleep, wrapped his arms around her. Their bodies were tangled from head to toe in a matter of seconds and the two settled comfortably in the other's arms.
"Okay, Bones." Booth mumbled in his sleep as he pressed her closer to his body. Tracey and Parker turned towards the partners, thinking Booth and Brennan were already awake. Their mouths dropped open when they saw the scene before them: the partners had their arms wrapped around each other and were sleeping very close together.
"It worked!" They whispered to each other, still a bit incredulous to what they were witnessing. There was definitely something there; they found hope. It didn't seem all that impossible to help the partners take a step to becoming more.
"Sorry." Tommy climbed over the two teens again and settled on his spot next to the partners, pulling the blanket over his body. Tracey and Parker had huge grins on their faces. Their in the moment plan had worked!
Reviews are niceXD
