Chapter 11...
In the Jeffersonian, Angela was on her way to Brennan. With Camille was all agreed that she should go into limbo. For Angela had what. Especially for her friend Bones, she was out of the firing line when Booth entered the lab.
Angela had already begun decorating the office. It was quite romantic; red roses everywhere you looked. Booth was grateful for the help.
"Hi, Angela. I have brought the gift box. For the letter." He smiled at her but did not know whether she would be happy. But she literally jumped into his arms.
"I'm so happy for you both! At first I thought you were kidding me but now I know better."
Booth crept out of the embrace "The only thing I want is to have Bones back." He was looking past Angela, a smile on his face. She gave him a light slap on the arm. "Hey... Why did you hit me?"
"I don't think it'll be that easy, Bigger, even if the test shows that you are innocent... But you had sex with her anyway. And Brennan has seen you two. In Bed. I hope all the best for you both, you know that... but I think even Bren will still need a bit of time to get clear about it."
Booth smiled bravely. "I know that. I still want to surprise her."
Seeley grinned and Angela liked what she saw. "Okay, I think we're done. Should I go and get her?" Angela's eyes shone with happiness, pleased to see Booth smiling.
"Yes, what are you waiting for?" Booth asked. "I want to take her back in my arms."

Angela was on the road to Temperance in limbo.
Bones was completely engrossed in her work; for days she could think of nothing else. She didn't even notice Angela coming.
"Hello sweety, come with me upstairs," Angela said. "You've been down here long enough. The air isn't good for you and you need a break. I'm sure it'll do you good."
It had been difficult for Dr. Temperance Brennan to get away from her work. But at the moment, it was quite easy. It actually seemed to be very reasonable. Whether this was probably due to the pregnancy, or to the exhaustion of the last few days, Angela didn't know.
"I'll be right there, Angela. I have to pack up just yet. A break would perhaps quite well. "
Together with Angela, Brennan went upstairs to the forensic laboratory.
"Let's go into your office. I'll get us a quick coffee and you go wait there for me. "
Temperance walked toward the office. She was looking down, so she didn't see who was standing in her office and waiting for her. Brennan went in, not even noticing the many flowers around her, and sat down on her sofa. Slowly, she straightened up and realized what was going on here. In a low voice, she said "BOOTH!"
"Hello Bones." Booth took a step toward her.
Brennan was happy to see him, but it hurt too much to see him. The memories came right back and she quickly had tears in her eyes.
"May I sit with you?" When he saw Bones nod, Seeley sat down beside her. "If I give you something, will you open it? Now?" He took the gift out and put it down next to her.
"You can't buy me off with shiny beads and sweet talk," Brennen said calmly. "That does not work with me."
"I do not want to buy you with gifts, but you should open it. It's something important and I think you'll like it."
Brennan silently admitted defeat and opened the gift. She took out the letter and read it, line by line. She immediately knew what the technical terms meant. Tears stood out and she fell against Booth's neck. She could tell he wanted to kiss and she pulled her head away.
"Booth, I know you can't do anything about it now, but I still see you with that woman in bed... I think we have to rebuild the trust. Slowly. And just... sitting together." Bones felt her little one flutter and she smiled. "I think the little girl agrees." She looked at Booth, in his lovely eyes, and almost lost it.
"Bones, I love you and I'll give you all the time, but never shut me out of your life."
Brennan just shook her head and pulled him closer, placing a soft kiss against his lips. While not a long kiss, it was enough. Temperance had missed him so much. She pulled away. "And what will you do now?" she asked him straight out.
"Let's go to the attorney, together. I want them to be punished," He said. Brennan nodded.
Booth was happy again. He knew they would still need some time, but he had his girlfriend, his Bones back. Then Seeley remembered Temperance had a doctor's appointment today.
"You were at the doctor today, right? Is everything okay with our little angel?" He was worried that he might have his baby harmed by this action.
Bones looked at him. "She's doing great. It's all alright. "
Calmly, she took his hand and placed it on her stomach. At the same moment already the others came from their team. Angela could not resist the scene and immediately they all tumbled together. What they saw was quite satisfactory. It wouldn't be long before it was back to the way it once was. Or even better.
The day had gone really well, especially at work. The only issue they had was how they should now proceed with Sandy T. She should be punished; what had she done bordered on serious injury and that was a serious offense.
Bones was overjoyed that she had Booth again, however, she had to forgive him. But why was it so hard to do so?
What's your opinion?
