Wow thanks for the awesome response guys! I'll be writing chapter 7 until 2 am tonight, I'm sure.
Okay, a couple things to say.
1. Blogs are buzzing that in the season finale Booth and Brennan are going to get it on, for real this time. Fingers crossed?
2. Song of the day: Lay Back- Rick Ross/Robin Thicke. Or Bed Rock- Young Money. Sexy songs, that inspire me while I write some of the more provocative parts of my writing.
3. Thank you to all who favorite/alert but an extra special thank you to: Emma Mayy, basket-case1880, aail410, and ink-and-ash for your reviews.
Brennan walked into the lab with a very large smile on her face. Booth was right next to her as always, standing a bit closer than usual. Her coworkers looked on curiously at them, noting the changes. In the five minutes, it took for them to make plans and say goodbye, he had not taken his hands off of her. Their gaze had not flickered away from each other; their smiles did not dissolve for even a second.
They embraced closely for a couple seconds and it looked like Booth had kissed her cheek, but the team wasn't sure.
"Bye Seeley. See you at lunch!" She said while she grinned at him. He began to walk away, when he reached the doors he turned around and smiled at her. She didn't move until he was out of sight. A slight frown appeared on her face but was replaced by a wide smile a second later. She briskly continued towards her office to prepare for work and breathe. She kept thinking about the night before. She kept smiling like an idiot. Her mind kept replaying their kiss in the car before they walked into the Jeffersonian. It was long and steamy and neither was content with stopping but a glance at the time reminded them that there was work to do.
Angela smiled unbelievingly. "I can't believe it." She said quietly shaking her head slowly. She knew that look—the one that her best friend couldn't shake—she hadn't seen it on Brennan before, but she could identify it. It was the look of someone in love.
She quickly made her way to catch up with Brennan. She was there sooner than she would've thought. Her smile mirrored her friend's. "Brennan, sweetie, I know that look." She said as she entered Brennan's office right after her.
"What look?" She asked, trying to compose herself.
"You know which look. You're glowing, Bren!" Angela noted. Brennan bit her lip and looked from side to side.
"Close the door." She said softly, not wanting anyone to hear. "Isn't that normal for pregnant women?" She asked quietly, but brimming with enthuasism.
"What! You're pregnant?!" Angela almost squealed.
"Well, two days. It's not one hundred percent, we don't know if the eggs took. The obstetrician thinks it did, though. He told me I was pregnant. I think so too."
"That's amazing, Sweetie!"
"I know" Brennan said smiling. "We're very excited." She said, using the plural for her and Booth. Angela didn't miss that. Her eyebrows arched.
"So, we were all wondering what happened to you…we thought you'd make Booth drive you back here. What happened?" Angela said trying to retain her composure, using "we" as a replacement for "I" which was a much more suitable pronoun.
"He coerced me into going to Belle Stella with him."
"Belle Stella?" Angela asked incredulously. "That's the most romantic restaurant in town"
Brennan nodded, biting a smile. Angela wanted her to gush about everything. While, Brennan would normally object, she felt compelled to tell someone, Angela seeming the perfect someone.
"Fitting as he told me he loved me." She said as slipped on her lab coat.
"He what? Oh, sweetie! What did you say?"
"The truth." Angela's eyebrows arched. "I told him I loved him too." Brennan smiled.
Angela could not contain her squealing. Finally, she thought. "Did he kiss you? Oh, my God! What happened next?"
"Well, we went to his apartment and were talking. I borrowed some of his clothes...we had sex."
"What!" Angela's jaw dropped. "How?"
"Well his penis…"
"No, no, sweetie, I know how you had sex; I mean…how did it happen?" Angela chuckled.
"Okay…well, in the car I admitted that I was feeling amorous…"
"And then he jumped you?" Angela laughed, imagining it.
"No, despite his very obvious erection, he was adamant on not having sex. I, however, was resolved to. I was dancing and then, I asked if I could borrow something more comfortable to wear and he said yes. I was washing my face in the bathroom and when I came out, he was naked."
"He was waiting for you, naked?" She licked her lips, loving the very sexy mental picture.
"No, he was changing clothes, or about to. He was embarrassed at first, and was going to get dressed, but I ordered him not to. We kissed and then, we had intercourse." She involuntarily grinned at the last part.
"Oh God! Was he good? Of course he was good! Look at you sweetie, you look like someone who had really great sex last night!" She rambled.
"He was excellent."
"Better than Sully?" Angela said remembering Brennan's pleasure with Sully.
"Better than anyone"
"Oh my God! This is so hot!" She fanned herself with a file. "Was he...um...big?"
"Are you speaking of his penis size?" Angela nodded. "Let's just say I'm very, very satisfied." She answered her friend.
"So are you like a couple, now?" Angela asked. "Sorry about the twenty questions, you know I live vicariously through you."
"It hasn't been twenty questions. You've nothing to apologize for." Brennan pulled on a pair of latex gloves. "Yes, you could call us that" Angela beamed at her while they headed towards the platform.
"Okay, there is way too much smiling going on" Cam commented as she saw her female coworkers grinning ear to ear. There must've been some girl talk in that office. Girl talk, she wasn't involved in. She was never involved. It stung a bit and made her feel a little out of the loop. This was about Seeley and Dr. Brennan. She used to date him; she could be very useful in that conversation. Sometimes she felt like the lab viewed her as simply the boss or one of the guys. She knew she was being, as Dr. Brennan would say, irrational. Angela and Dr. Brennan were best friends. She shrugged it off and made a cynical remark.
"Agreed. Does this have anything to do with your PDA earlier Dr. B?" Hodgins asked curiously.
"PDA?" Brennan looked confused.
"Public Display of Affection, Bren." Angela said, nudging Brennan.
"Oh, what public display of affection? We merely hugged."
"For like an hour! He kissed you on the cheek and you guys were acting like teenagers over there!" He laughed. Brennan blushed—something she rarely did.
"We do have a case here, harassing Dr. Brennan, as amusing as it may be, is not our primary objective today." Cam reminded the team but secretly wondered herself what was going on.
"Says you!" Hodgins exclaimed.
"Thanks Cam." Brennan looked at her thankfully. She then looked down at the skeleton.
"You said you identified him?" Brennan asked, looking at Angela.
"Yes, Clark assisted." Angela said looking around. "Where is Clark?"
"I'm right here, Angela. I left when things got personal over here. Now, that we're back to the case, I'm here to assist as needed." Clark said appearing up the stairs.
He nodded towards Brennan. "His name is Justin Wickler: age 28. He went missing a month ago. He has a record for drug trafficking"
"I'll inform Booth." Brennan offered immediately.
"We already faxed it to him." Clark said with a smile, feeling accomplished.
"Oh." Brennan said as she looked down.
"He'll want to pick you up and interrogate her as soon as possible" Angela said quickly. Brennan's face automatically lit up again.
Hodgins looked at Angela questioningly. There was something different.
"Where'd you run off to yesterday?" Hodgins asked casually to Dr. Brennan. No one apart from Angela, Booth, and herself knew that she was pregnant or that Booth had even agreed to have a child with her.
"I had an appointment with an obstetrician." She said truthfully. Everyone except for Angela seemed surprised, even Clark.
"You went with Booth?" Cam asked.
"Of course, he made the appointment." She said.
What? Everyone in the lab—apart from Brennan and Angela—seemed to be thinking the same thing.
"Why would he make an appointment for you to see an obstetrician?" Cam asked.
"We went together. We saw the doctor. I'm pregnant." She said, now getting annoyed with having to explain everything.
Everyone who was not previously informed of this was shocked. Jaws dropped, confused faces, it annoyed Brennan.
"Why do you all look so shocked?" she asked.
"You just told us you were pregnant. It's Booth's?" Cam asked, being the only one capable of words.
"Yes."
"I didn't know you two were shacking up! Way to go Dr. B!" Hodgins exclaimed humorously offering his hand for a high-five.
"I don't know what that means." She said as she left his hand untouched.
"Sex, Bren, it means sex."
"Oh! No, we didn't have sex then! We didn't conceive the child in that sense; I was artificially inseminated." She explained.
"Well congratulations Dr. Brennan" Cam smiled. Then she thought about Dr. Brennan's sentence, particularly the first segment. "Wait—then?"
Brennan ducked her head, flushed. She was never embarrassed about her sexual relationships, but these were her coworkers and it was Booth. Everyone knew Booth. She felt awkward in this discussion.
To her surprise, the team roared in laughter, even Clark and Angela, at her omission. "Well, finally" Cam said.
"Score Dr. B!" Hodgins said, this time, not offering his hand to the clueless anthropologist.
"Can we move onto the case?" Clark asked, uncomfortably.
"Yes, I'm sure we've embarrassed Dr. Brennan enough." Cam said after stifling just one more guffaw.
Brennan just shrugged and looked down at the skeleton, not focused at all. She was very bored and annoyed with her work atmosphere at the moment. Just in time, she heard his voice.
"Bones!" He called as he swiped his platform card and approached her. "Hey, we have the girlfriend in the interrogation room." He smiled.
"Okay, let me just get my jacket." She said as she headed towards her office with him in tow. Her friends looked curiously after the couple, laughing and then returning to work.
Booth looked at his girlfriend in her lab coat and nodded appreciatively. When they got into her office, she was about to strip off her lab coat when he stopped her. He closed her office door and smiled at her.
"Hey baby" He greeted as he took her into his arms.
"Hey" She breathed. "These past couple hours were insufferable." She whispered against his neck.
"Without me? I know. I couldn't stop thinking about you either."
She laughed. "It's not just that. Angela attacked me the second you left and fired off an arsenal of questions. Hodgins and Cam, too." She exhaled.
"I'm sorry, but hey, it's just us now! It's just us now to the interrogation room and back and then when we go home tonight, it'll be just us" She smiled at him and at the very enticing prospect of being alone with Booth, completely alone. She didn't miss that he used a plural when he referred to home, it was strangely comforting.
"I'm looking forward to that." She said as she again attempted to shed her lab coat.
"Wait." He said as he grabbed her arm.
"What?" She chuckled.
"You look so sexy right now." He informed her as he evaluated her head to toe. "Shake out your hair." He said.
"Why?" She asked. He gave her no answer, he just smirked. She did it anyway, releasing her hair from the bun it was in and sensually shaking it out. "Like that?"
"Exactly like that." He whispered. "Now say something squinty or reprimand me."
"Is this like that librarian fantasy you had on the plane to China?"
"Sort of" Sort of better, he thought.
"It appears you are stimulated by subjective auditory and aesthetic imaginations. If you would like me to comply with your desires, I'd be exceedingly elated to oblige you, Special Agent Booth."
"Thank you." He said as he closed his eyes for a second. Then he laughed.
"Was that good?"
"That was perfect, Temperance." He said as he pulled her to him. He put his arms tight around her back. She brought her lips to his softly. He deepened the kiss and stripped off her lab coat and threw it to the side. He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He carried her to a clear spot on her desk and sat her down. She kissed him hungrily.
"I really missed you today." She whispered between kisses.
"You and I, both" He replied.
She loosened his tie and began to pull it off.
"Baby" he whispered as she began unbuttoning his shirt. "You know I want you right now, right?"
"Obviously"
"You know we can't do this here?" He reminded her as she ran her fingers down his chest.
"Sure we can, it's my office." She wrapped her legs even tighter around him and traced her tongue over his lips.
"I love you" He said as he pulled away. "but I know you, and I know that you don't want to do this in here. It's your work office."
"You had your fantasy, this is mine."
"We have a murder suspect in the interrogation room." He carefully reminded her.
"Oh. That's right, I forgot." It was too easy to forget about things when she was involved with him. She never had a problem with incoherency before but now she was in love. And apparently, that changes everything about the dynamics of a relationship and the ability to retain logic.
"I wish I had come by for a quickie in your office" He winked.
"Tonight…" she trailed off while she pressed her lips to his.
"will be" another kiss.
"the best night" ...another kiss.
"of your life" She kissed him just once more, before she buttoned his shirt up and tied his tie.
"Let's go, Booth" She said, batting her eyes flirtatiously as she got off her desk, put on her jacket and opened the office door. He stood there, touched his lips, smoothed his tie, and smirked. Did she know how to make a man feel like a man!
They exited her office and a few curious eyes looked at them, her hair was slightly disheveled and he had a goofy smirk on his face. Angela burst out laughing and muttered "next thing you know they'll be in the Egyptian bed" to Hodgins with a wink. He laughed with her as Clark muttered something about dignity in the workplace.
Booth smoothed out her hair. "They all think we had sex."
"Maybe we should've." She laughed. "They'll be convinced of it either way." She threw him a playful glance as they walked toward his car. She, then, had a mischievous smile spread on her face. He reached for her hand and wondered what tonight would bring him.
Then he smiled.
Review for next chapter!
Next chapter: interrogation, FBI, and Brennan's "special night" with Booth. :)
I hope this M-rated stuff doesn't annoy you. I enjoy writing it. I live vicariously through my writing! (That's depressing)
No, really, if anything doesn't make sense or seem clear...keep in my I'm a sixteen year old girl in high school who is very much virginal and very much in love with Bones and BOOTH.
That being said, please review.
