Chapter 7: I Love You So Much
Disclaimer: I do not own Bones. - sigh -
A/N: Okay, please put away your weapons. I'm sorry I had to write the last chapter. If I didn't, Booth wouldn't have a reason to fight back with much more force. What do I mean? Read on. Enjoy!
A/N: Please keep on reading. I know the last chapter had a very bad plot. This chapter will make you feel better.
Booth couldn't sleep. He just couldn't. He couldn't get the image and Sully and Bones holding hands out of his head. He awoke to his very loud alarm clock. He took the day off. Actually, his boss gave him it. Booth couldn't focus and was too tired for espresso to kick in. He sat at home. He decided to get some sleep. At least some.
His phone woke him up. He checked the time. 8:15.
"Hello?" he answered.
"Hey, Booth," his partner answered. It's Bones. I can't tell her how I feel over a phone call. "Could you pick me up? My car isn't working."
"Sure." He quickly changed into jeans and a shirt. He drove over to the Jeffersonian, thinking about what he would say. He drove up to the Jefforsonian. He quickly entered into the lab. He knocked on his partner's office.
"Hey, Bones," he said, smiling.
"Hey, Booth," she replied. She was reading a book.
"Bones, could I ask you something?"
"Sure. Anything."
"Why did you accept Sully's proposal?" Bones mouth opened a little bit. Booth quickly added, "It's because you don't really believe in marriage and all."
"He loves me. I love him," she said plainly.
"Is there another reason?"
"No."
"Come on, Bones. I know you. There has to another reason."
"There isn't any!" She kept on denying.
"There's got to be another reason, Bones."
"You know why? You. I have had... feelings for you, for a very long time. Your coma dream? I was reading you something I was writing. What I was feeling. I wanted to say it to you, even if you were semi-conscious. I had to say it. That dream I wanted to be a reality. Us getting married, us having a baby boy or girl. Booth... I love you so much."
Booth was stunned. He cupped Bones's face with one of his hands. He was about to kiss her, millimeters from her face, his breathe on hers, when a knock and a stunned fiance appeared at the door, flowers in hand.
"Why'd you stop?" Bones whispered. Her eyes were closed. She opened them to see Booth not looking at her. She turned to where he was looking and saw Sully. Sully dropped his flowers and left. "Damn it," she said under her breath. Bones ran after him, leaving Booth stunned.
"Sully!" Bones screamed. She took off her ring. "I didn't want you to find out this way."
"Were you with him this entire time?" he asked, looking back at her.
"What? No. I wasn't."
"I saw and heard everything, Tempe. Who is it going to be, me or him?" Bones sighed.
"Booth," she said softly. "It's always been Booth." Sully turned around and almost walked away when Bones called to him. "Wait! You forgot this." She handed him the ring. "Give it to someone who truly loves you." Then, he left. Booth walked up behind Bones.
"Bones."
"He's gone, Booth," she turned around. "He's gone."
"I love you so much," he said. Bones looked up at her partner.
I think I will have maybe 3 more chapters. I might have smut. Tell me what you think. R/R!
