Ok… I know what you may be thinking… Why it took me so long… if you care… I had two projects that took large amounts of time… and I procrastinated… as usual… Sorry that it took so long… I am going to try to post at least once a week from now on… The summer is coming up soon, so I should be able to post more… You probably don't care, but something interesting related to the show happened on my Sims 3 game the other day… So I made Booth and Brennan along with their families, so of course I made Brennan at first with Max and Russ. Eventually Brennan got married, and I was curious, so I looked at her family tree. The whole time she lived with Max, she was a teenager, so she could not have children. But, when I went back to the family tree, it showed Max, Russ, Brennan, and an infant. It could only have came from Max, and I never made him have another child… He had a child on his own… Interesting and weird gaming experience… Anyways, sorry about the wait! Thanks to those who read and review! You're awesome! Sorry if you don't like the chapter… I am going to try to make it a good chapter though… Hope you enjoy (or can endure, at least)!
After seeing an ugly, despicable face, to Booth at least, Booth had to focus his attention on anything but Hacker and try to enjoy his party. Easier said than done. Booth walked over with Parker in his arms to where most of the squints were sitting and sat down. Booth almost started to talk when he felt a tug on his shirt sleeve. He looked down to his son, who was the source of the tug. Parker was smiling, his smile much like Booth's, as he said, "Happy birthday, Daddy! I love you." completing the gesture by hugging Booth. Booth smiled and ruffled his son's hair, "Thanks, buddy. Love you too. Are you having fun so far?" Parker nodded and stayed with Booth for a couple more minutes until running to Angela.
Booth looked around again, and found just what he did not want. Brennan, after leaving Booth's company a few minutes after arriving, obviously went to "enjoy" Hacker's company, if that action was possible. They were in the kitchen, near her fridge and all of the food she had prepared for the party. Brennan was laughing, probably from something stupid Hacker had said when she was drawn into Hacker with his arm. He kissed her, and she obviously kissed back, at least as far as Booth could tell. Booth turned away, after turning a new shade of red , from anger, when he heard a familiar voice calling his name, and a hand flapping in his face, trying to get his attention.
"Booth? Is anyone there?" Cam said, stopping when she finally received Booth's attention.
"What? Oh… yeah." Booth said, obviously distracted, and Cam knew that the source had to have been Brennan, it always was.
"Are you okay? If you weren't, I wouldn't blame you. I would be if I were in your situation." Cam said, gesturing to Brennan.
"Yeah. A little bit grossed out, but okay." Booth took a moment to think before continuing, "Do you remember that conversation that we had a few months ago, Camille, around the time I got reinstated? The one about me and Brennan?" Cam nodded after a moment's thought, and Booth continued. "You know how you said to be sure before I do anything? I… I am sure, now. But now she's with Hacker again, and things seem to be going well. I need to tell her, soon, but I don't want to make her unhappy by telling her while she seems to be in a working relationship. I just want her to be happy." Booth looked up, clearly very deep in thought, with slightly trouble eyes, to Cam for reassurance or thoughts on the matter.
Cam's face sported a small smile when she heard this, and stayed on her face as she talked to her friend of many years. "Follow your gut, your instinct. It very rarely fails, especially when dealing with matters of the heart. You will know the right time. If you tell her and she becomes unhappy, no matter when, then she is not as rational as she prides herself on being. It will probably take her time to process, or understand it… Just wait when that happens. Follow your heart, Seeley."
Booth, still in deep thought, nodded while a wave of newfound confidence rushed through him. "Thank you, Camille." Cam nodded, and, after one more moment of sitting, made her way to the refreshments.
Hacker had gone to the bathroom, and now Brennan was alone. She sighed and looked around her, for at least tonight, lively house. People seemed to be enjoying themselves. That was good. Brennan's attention then became centered on the main guest. Booth looked like he was having a good time. She would have time to herself for a few minutes, so she decided to walk over and talk to Booth.
Brennan sat down on her couch, next to Booth. He looked up at her, and she looked back to him. She could tell by looking at his eyes that he was deep in thought, but, also, he did not mind her interrupting his thinking. "Are you having a good time, Booth?" Brennan asked, almost nervously, awaiting his answer.
She didn't have to wait long. "Yes, I am." He smiled. "Parker seems to be having a good time too." They both looked at his son, who was dancing with Angela rather smoothly, and laughed slightly.
"He dances very well for a boy of his age," Brennan observed.
Brennan's observation brought a smile to Booth's face. "He got his moves from me. Geez… He's better than I was at that age."
Brennan rolled her eyes at Booth's cockiness, though not doubting that he was a good dancer. She had danced with him a few times before, and he danced very well. She enjoyed dancing with him more than anyone else. She enjoyed doing just about anything with him.
Booth and Brennan talked for a little while longer, until Hacker finished going to the bathroom and getting refreshments. She left Booth to join Hacker, and Booth continued to think about his situation. A few minutes later, Rebecca walked over, with Parker's hand in hers. Booth could see sleepiness of his son's face. Rebecca said that she was going to take Parker home, told Booth happy birthday, and then waited for Booth and Parker to say their goodbyes.
After the people left at the party had a toast for Booth, like the squints did a year before, Angela decided to inform the small crowd of something.
"Time for party games!" Angela exclaimed, while the others rolled their eyes at the activity. They could see that she was determined, though, and knew not to interrupt her plans. Angela held up two blindfolds, and a mischievous smile took over her features.
Sorry if you did not like it… If you keep reading this, waiting for the fluffiness that will lie ahead, then you won't have to wait too much longer… Something may happen to Hacker soon, by someone, also… It should start getting better after the next chapter. Thank you for reading this, and my rambling at the beginning. I saw the Booth and Brennan video on the Fox website, and I was stunned by its awesomeness and intensity .Both of them looked totally stunning… I wish I had her eyes… Looking forward to the 100th episode. Is anyone else looking forward to it? It looks totally awesome… I would expect the next chapter to be up by Sunday afternoonish… Thanks again for reading… Please review... Have a good weekend!
