Chapter 10: Are you sure?

Two weeks.

For Booth, those two weeks were the worst two weeks of his life. Not only had he not had a single case with Bones, but whenever he tried to stop by she was always busy; in a meeting or ironing out details for the big day.

The one time he had managed to steal her away for a second, he had made the mistake of putting his hand on the small of her back. It was a natural thing for them, so when she flinched and pulled away, he felt like a knife was stabbed into his heart as realization hit him. He had lost his Bones.

But the hardest thing for him was the last time he had seen her.


Booth strode through the lab like a man on a mission. Of course, he was a man on a mission; to confront Bones. He walked quickly past Hodgins and Angela, only to be assaulted by someone calling out to him.

"Booth!"

"Not now Angela." Booth continued on, but realized that he wasn't going to lose Angela as she ran after him.

"Booth!"

"What? I'm here to see Brennan."

She paused momentarily when he called her Brennan, but continued on when she noticed that he was starting to walk towards Brennan's office again.

"Now's not a good time, Booth."

"What do you mean? When is it ever a bad time for some Booth?" He gave her a quick wink before he opened the door to his partner's office.

He stopped and quickly understood what Angela had been saying. There on the couch, were Sully and Bones making out. They were like two crazy teenagers going at each other on a Friday night. His Bones!

It took them a moment to separate when they heard the noise of the door open. When they did, Booth didn't fail to notice the grin that spread across Sully's face. Before anyone could say a thing, Booth just held up his hands and turned to leave.

Angela swiftly turned and caught up to Booth. She looked up at the defeated man.

"Why don't you go wait in my office, then we'll head over to Sid's."

Booth silently nodded his head and made towards her office.

As soon as Booth was out of her sight, Angela made her way to confront her best friend. The door was conveniently open as she approached, so she figured what ever she heard was fare game.

"That's just it Temperance!"

"What?"

"You shouldn't care who happens to walk in on us. We were just kissing!"

"But you should know me well enough to know that I am not in favor of public displays of affection."

"Ha, that's funny, because when Booth and Angela were dating, you didn't mind showing your affection for me in front of them, then."

"That's not true." Brennan sighed, realizing that it may have been partially true.

Normally she loved a good verbal dispute, but for some reason when it was with Sully, it wasn't as entertaining or fun.

"I'm just gonna go before this gets blown out of proportion."

"You mean more than it already has."

Sully just shook his head as he started for the door.

Angela quickly jumped back a few steps, before anyone noticed that she had been listening. Calmly, she approached her friend's door and knocked, as Sully made his way out.

"Sweetie, can we talk?"

"Sure Ange."

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yes, why wouldn't I? I have a good half an hour before I need to leave for an appointment…"

"No Bren, I meant are you sure you really want to get married?"

"Same answer as before."

"But Sweetie, are you sure you really love him?"

"Ange..."

"Bren, who do you think of when you first wake up and who's the last person you think of before your eyes close at night? Who knows how to comfort you and make you smile? Who would you lay down your life for and them in return? When they're not around you can't help but think of, and when is around you don't care about anything or anyone else around you?

Sweetie, if your answer to all those questions, all of them, is Sully, then I will stop bugging you about this and will completely understand your decision. But if not...sweetie, what are you doing?"

"I should be going Ange. I'll see you tomorrow. Be at the church at 9, I don't want anything to go wrong."

"Alright, I guess I'll see you tomorrow."

Angela made her way from her friend and headed towards her office to grab Booth.

Ten minutes and a few near death experiences later, they were sitting at the bar at Sid's cradling two beers.

"I'm sorry Booth. This is my fault."

"No it isn't."

"If I hadn't pushed you into my crazy plan, Brennan wouldn't have felt the need for a happy perfect relationship and she wouldn't have agreed to this whole wedding thing."

"Okay…So it's both of our faults."

"We really screwed this one up, didn't we?"

"You could say that again."

"I can't believe she would actually pick Sully over you. How could she say no to you?"

"Well she didn't exactly say no."

"What do you mean? How did she react when you told her how you feel?"

"Umm, I didn't actually tell her how I feel."

"You're joking right?"

"No. When she came here after I found out about the engagement I told her congrats and she asked me if I really meant that."

"AND???"

"I might have told her that I just wanted her to be happy and that Sully is a really great guy and...and goodbye."

"You didn't."

"Pretty sure I did."

"Booth you giant idiot!"

"What?"

"Think about this logically, or Brennan-ly. Brennan is a scientist. What does she always tell you?"

"I don't know what that means?"

"Well that, but she always says we need all the facts before we can making any good conclusions."

"So."

"So think about it. She needs all the facts before she can say that she will marry Sully, and you basically handed her fake evidence. You told her that you didn't love her."

"But I do love her, which is why I want her to be happy."

"Yea, well that's not how Bren is seeing it. Trust me."

"What do you mean?"

"Come on, its clear she cares about you. She is just settling for the next best thing because she doesn't think it's possible for her to have the best."

"God Ange, What am I going to do? If you're wrong and I tell her, I don't think we could ever work together after that."

"Since when am I wrong?"

"Yea, but when can I tell her. It's not like I could track her down right now and I have Parker for the night."

"I have an idea."

"Another one?"

"Oh shut up!"


TBC...

Whatever could Angela be planning now? No, really, what is she planning? Will it completely blow up in their faces like her last plan did? Decisions, decisions...what do you think?
