"I do believe that you would murder someone for me. And I believe that you'd lie about it so I wouldn't have to carry that burden." – Brennan ('The End in the Beginning')

Brennan lay back against the car seat as she watched the sun set behind the ocean, her hand locked tightly with Booth's. As the final glint of sun hit faded behind the ocean, Booth dropped Brennan's hand, leaving her hand feeling cold and empty. She shiver slightly before leaning back again and closing her eyes as the sound of the engine hummed to life.

"That was fun Tempe." He smiled. She looked at him shocked. That was one of the few times he had ever called her something other than Bones, and now of all times as she fought to find out what she really wanted. She dropped her eyes, and looked at the floor. For once she was speechless.

"It was Booth." She said softly. He looked down at her, suddenly worried that he had said the wrong thing, upset her somehow. She smiled softly as she looked back up at him, her emotions still fumbling around inside the wall she had formed around them. Booth had seen more of the true her lately, she had opened up to him more than anyone, and the change felt almost easy for her. That was, until she got around others then, the emotions hid again. Angela was the only other one at work who saw them.

Hours passed before she awoke, Booth shaking her shoulder gently to wake her. She glanced out the window at the dark night sky, it was most likely midnight, time for sleep.

"I'll walk you." Booth said with a soft smile that made Brennan's heart skip a beat. He walked to the door, pulling it open and taking her hand in his as he helped her from the car. The walked directly inside and towards the elevators. Brennan didn't notice the rooms go by as he finally stopped in front of hers, her mind to busy thinking about him.

"Thanks Booth… For everything." She whispered. He smiled and nodded, bending down slightly to kiss her forehead. She grasped his neck and pulled him into a deep kiss. Brennan suddenly lost her rational thinking as Booth picked her up and pushed her against the door. The deepened the kiss into a passionate session, her shirt half raised, her belt undone, pants unzipped. Niether lovers heard another door squeak open until the voice echoed out.

"Hey! Knock it off! You have people trying to sleep!" He hollered. "Idiots." He mumbled as he turned back into his room, leaving Brennan and Booth panting awkwardly in the hall. She smiled slightly before laughing and reaching for the door knob. Booth laughed right along with her, as he watched her walk into the small room. She turned around and placed a light kiss on his lips.

"Goodnight Booth, I'll see you at work tomorrow. Crime never takes a day off." She said with a smile. Booth smiled and started to turn around until he made up his mind, turning quickly and placing his hand between the door and wall.

"Wait! Bones… I… I love you. I love you with everything I am." He said quietly. Brennan stood dumbfounded. She didn't know what to say. She thought back to everything they had done together, everything she had felt when something had happened. The time he forgot who she was, and that when he had thought they were married… that they were pregnant together… how she had wished it were true. And now, here she was, maybe not married but pregnant… with his child. And here he was, expressing his feelings for her, her heart fluttering as it usually did and finally she realized it.

"I love you too Booth. I really do." She said. Booth's eyes moved up to her face, they were glittering, smiling, and crying all at the same time. That's when, as usual, there moment was ruined, with the ringing of Brennan's phone. The two exchanged a glance before she reached into her pocket and flipped it open.

"Brennan speaking." She said, motioning Booth to come in, they had much to talk about.

"Brennen… It's Ange… I need to talk to now. It's important. I'm glad you phone was on this time… I… Might be having twins."
