Thank you for all the wonderful reviews and alerts. Regarding the Sully issue, the opinions were really divided. I hope you guys like where I took this.
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Booth and Brennan had been enjoying their relationship fully. A month had passed since their relationship was truly complete, including the sex part. Their partnership was still intact and at work they went about as usual, with the exception of quick and stolen kisses. Both knew that their relationship was not going to be a problem at the Jeffersonian, but they were not as sure when it came to the FBI. They decided that it was important to make sure. Booth was going to find out at the FBI, while Brennan was going to consult Cam on the issue.
They ate dinner silently at her place. They stole glances at each other and neither of them wanted to start the conversation. Booth decided that it was best to get the conversation out of the way.
"So, what did Cam say?" Booth rose from his seat and took their plates to the sink.
"Booth…look at me." Booth turned to face Brennan and she took his hands and led him to the couch. She pushed him to sit down and straddled him.
"Bones, what did she say?" Booth spoke softly as he placed his hands on her hips.
"She doesn't care, Booth. There wasn't a problem when Hodgins and Angela were together, when you and Cam were together, or now with Angela and Wendell." Brennan smiled at him as she rocked her hips slowly. Booth shot her a glare and she finally answered his question. "Dr. Saroyan said there's no problem with us being a couple, as long as she doesn't see our butts on a security tape." Brennan laughed at the last words.
"What? Why would she say that?" Booth looked at her confused. Brennan only laughed harder. "What is so funny, Bones?" His hands went up and down her thighs.
"When Hodgins and Angela were together they used one of the storage closets to have sex. They were caught on a security camera and Cam gave Angela a copy of the recording." Brennan kept laughing at Booth's expression.
"Don't tell me you saw the tape." Booth looked at her questionably.
"Only by accident so it doesn't count." Brennan kissed Booth sweetly as she ran her hands over his chest.
"I don't wanna know what you saw in the tape." Booth pulled her closer and kissed her passionately.
"Do you want to know what Hacker said?" Booth wiggled his eyebrows at her. Brennan nodded a 'yes'. "He was kinda jealous that you left him for me…" Brennan slapped his arm playfully.
"Will you let it go? I only had a half date with the guy." Brennan kissed his lips and playfully bit his cheek.
"He said that as much as he would like to say that we can't be together as partners know that we are together…" Booth smiled wide before he continued, "Hacker said that since you only contract out to the FBI, there's nothing that says that we can't be together as a couple. Oh, but he did say he'll fire me if we mess up our success rate in catching murderers." Booth joked on the last part. They kissed as their hands roamed the other's body. Clothes flew across the living room as they devoured each other.

It had been a few days since Booth had heard from Brennan. At first he tried not to worry, but after hearing that Sully was back in town he couldn't resist the negative thoughts. Booth was up all night waiting for her to show up, but she didn't. The next morning he decided that it had been enough and that he was going to confront her by asking her what was going on.
He arrived at the Jeffersonian only to find that she wasn't there. She was late, and there was only one reason for her to be late. She was with him. Booth thought furiously. His thoughts were confirmed when he saw Brennan walk into her office hand in hand with Sully. Booth became furious and stalked across the platform to enter her office.
"It was coming down outside, another lonely night. You said you were just going out with your friends. I woke up this morning hoping you didn't lie. It never used to be like this way back when. I never know were you are at, another train off the tracks. And I don't want to live like that. Noooo. When you walked in zoning late, what the hell was I supposed to think? When you have too much to think and you're really looking guilty." Booth was hurt and he couldn't keep the hurt out of his angry voice. Brennan stood still and never spoke.
"When you wouldn't even look at me, there's only one thing it could be: You were with him all this time, just one last kiss goodbye." Booth couldn't keep the sarcastic tone out of his last words. "No more alibis, no more little lies. You've broken my trust and it can't be fixed. I should have seen the sings, should've recognized… the way your lips look like they've been kissed. How did we end up like that?" Booth had tears running down his cheeks.
Without a word Brennan turned and kissed Sully passionately. Booth felt like his world was ending and he felt like he was spinning.
Booth sat up on his bed with cold sweat running down his face. He looked at his night stand and reached for his cell phone. It was Friday night and he was safe at home. He fell asleep listening to his iPod and he realized that while he was asleep the song "Last Kiss Goodbye" by Hinder had been repeatedly playing.
"It was just a dream, Booth." Booth reassured himself as he flipped his phone open to call his Bones. Although it was late, Booth dialed Brennan's number.
"Brennan." Brennan answered her cell without looking at the caller id. It had been a long day at the Jeffersonian and she was getting ready to head home.
"Bones…" Brennan became worried as she heard Booth's voice. "Bones, can you come over?" Booth sounded like a scared child.
"Yes, I'll be there as soon as I can." Brennan hung up and removed her lab coat.
It took Brennan less than fifteen minutes to get to his apartment. She used her key, yes her key, to open the front door. She found him curled up on the couch. He looked so vulnerable and Brennan walked over to help him.
"Hey, Bones." Booth hugged her tight as soon as he reached his side.
"What's wrong, Booth?" Brennan felt the cold sweat he was covered in.
"I had a bad dream. Can you stay with me tonight?" If it wasn't because Brennan saw how truly scared Booth was, she would have teased him about his child like behavior.
"What about Parker? Don't you have him for the weekend?" She smiled at him reassuringly.
"Not like that Bones. Just hold me tonight…please just sleep with me tonight." Booth hugged her like if she was about to disappear.
They walked to his bedroom and settled on the bed. They faced each other and Booth hugged her as he buried his face on her neck. He sobbed quietly as Brennan ran a soothing hand up and down his back. Booth fell asleep quickly, but never released his hold on Brennan.
Brennan couldn't fall asleep. As she ran a hand through his hair she thought about what could have scared him like this. Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt two little hands on her shoulder. She turned her face and saw Parker starring at her.
"Parker, what are you doing up?"
"I heard someone crying. Was it daddy?" The boy looked at a sleeping Booth.
"He had a bad dream." Brennan smiled at the boy.
"Can I sleep here too? So that daddy won't be scared anymore." Parker sent Brennan his best smile and she couldn't resist.
"That would be a great idea, Parker." The little boy jumped off the bed and returned with a blanket. He covered Brennan and Booth before lying on the other side of Booth. Parker placed his cheek on his father's back and Brennan ran her hand through the little boy's hair to help him fall asleep.
So how did I do? Did you guys like it, or didn't? Either way I'd like to know. Please Review.
