Here's where it starts to differ from the show, not that this story was like the show on tv to begin with but here's where the facts get all jumbled up, so don't get confused. I always figured, Booth to be the younger brother, so I made Jared the older one in this fic, and you'll all get to meet the rest of the Booth family as the story progresses.
However I do make mention of significant events on the show. Used a couple of lines from EitB too if you can find them :)
To put things in perspective the chapter Brennan is writing takes place some time in early season 2 .
Booth drove around for an hour, not knowing where to go. The internal turmoil inside continued to battle inside him. How could she? Didn't she know he loved her? Didn't she know he would have been there for her? How could she destroy a life when all they did was catch the people who took lives? Every thing they stood for, Brennan and Booth, the crime-fighting duo with the unbreakable close-rate on their cases, was it all just a lie? Didn't she believe in the sanctity of life?
And it wasn't just any life, it was their baby. A baby made, albeit by accident but out of love. The fact that he never got the chance to mourn the loss of who would have been their first child made it all harder to bear. And to think she had a hand in it. Booth felt as if she had dug his heart out of his chest with a spoon and handed it to him on a platter.
Guilt? How could she say that? Didn't she love him? All these years and after having their children, she stayed with him because she felt guilty? The thought that he had been played and that his love for her was not reciprocated in a manner that he thought it was made him feel sick. He fought the urge to throw up. She, was his life. And she kept this from him all these years, only to bring it up as if it was nothing but cheap dinner talk.
Booth realized he was on a familiar street. He had two options, check into a motel or swallow his pride and drive the couple more blocks where at least he would have a hot shower, and at least a comfortable bed. He had been sleeping in the cheap hotel the FBI put him up at in Delaware for the past week, so the thought of spending the night in a motel didn't exactly appeal to him.
Booth pulled up at his older brother's house at twenty past one in the morning. Linda would be mad, Jared would have some sarcastic remark but Jared was his big brother and would take him in anyway.
Booth took a breath before ringing the doorbell. Twice, three times, before the door flew open.
"Do you know what time it is?"
"Yeah. Sorry man, but I kinda needed a place to crash for the night."
"Not everyone gets to wake the Head of Intelligence at the Pentagon at one in the morning unless it's a matter of national security."
"I know, I know, sorry. But I figured, you'd let your little brother spent the night in your guest room, regardless of your position in the Pentagon and the time."
Jared sighed. "Come on in."
Booth entered the house, now noticing his sister-in-law at the top of the stairs.
"Sorry Linda, didn't mean to wake you."
"It's ok, as long as it's not someone calling Jared away to work."
"What you and Temperance had a fight?"
Booth ran his hand through his hair, blowing out a breath. He didn't want to think about her or what she had revealed to him anymore and sure wasn't about to share it with Jared.
"Something like that. I just, I don't wanna talk about it right now."
"That serious huh? After all these years, you've never come here asking for – "
"Yeah, I get that Jared, it's a big deal alright?"
Jared chuckled. "I always thought it was me and Linda who had the rocky marriage, you and Temperance were always like… nothing you two couldn't work out."
"Look, Jared, I'm tired. I just got back from a trip, I just need to get a shower and some sleep."
"Ok, ok, you know where everything is. And you can borrow one of my suits for work tomorrow."
"Thanks man, I owe you one."
Back home Brennan had finally stemmed her flow of tears. After everything they've been through, this one little thing could drive him from her? Maybe he didn't care as much as she thought he did. They had their share of fights, and had gone through a rough patches in their marriage like all marriages did but they always worked things out. He walked away from her some times to clear his head, but he always came back.
She got the feeling he wasn't coming back this night. Compartmentalizing, one of her better abilities, she decided to carry on with her book, moving on to happier times in their past.
Chapter 11 – Love in the Elevator
"Thanks for agreeing to do this Bones."
"You're welcome, it's no trouble at all, I really want to meet your family."
"Wow, I don't know what's gotten into you lately, you've like changed or something. You're talking to me about marriage, kids, and wanting to meet my family… are you sure you're my Bones?"
"Of course I am." Brennan laughed nervously.
"All I'm saying meeting my family, it isn't exactly gonna be a walk in the park."
"If you're the worst of them, I don't see how I can't handle the rest of the Booths. Besides, you've been so good to me lately, re-connecting me with Russ and helping me with finding out about my mother, it's time I did something for you in return."
She wasn't exactly lying. In the months following her accident, Brennan had tried to convince Booth that she had somehow changed her mind and was willing to consider kids and even marriage now. Booth argued she got that in reverse and that she would have to marry him first. Truth was she wanted to spend the rest of her life with this man. Before her accident, it would just be the two of them in the picture, but after the accident and miscarriage, she wanted to give him what he always wanted. The guilt of her almost abortion ate at her and she figured a baby would erase it all.
Then by serendipity, she found her mother's remains in limbo. Both her and Booth's attention was directed at finding out about her past, and time was spent coming to terms with this newfound information about herself. The fact that her parents were criminals didn't change Booth's mind about how he felt about her, and he even helped her forgive Russ. This only compounded her guilt at keeping the abortion/miscarriage issue from him.
Months passed and she managed to push the guilt into the deep recesses of her mind. When the opportunity to finally meet Booth's family presented itself, in the form of celebrating yet another of Jared Booth's promotions, she jumped at the opportunity. She knew family was important to Booth, so she wanted it to be important to her.
"Did you just insult me Bones?"
She laughed. Booth rolled his eyes, his hands moving to straighten his tie.
"You nervous?"
"No."
"Well I am. I mean you are important to me, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, but you know my parents are Catholic, I mean me too but they're like way more Catholic than I am."
"Then I'll do my best to be charming." Brennan smiled.
"Damn Bones, you know we're already running late, when you smile at me like that… and that dress you're wearing…."
Booth tugged at his tie, feeling it uncomfortably tight round his neck.
"Here, let me."
Brennan took a step towards him and suddenly the elevator they were in that was carrying them to their destination seemed all too small.
Her hand straightened, then smoothed his tie, running her hands appreciatively across his pectorials then down his taut abdominals, coming to rest on his cocky belt buckle.
"Bones." Booth groaned. "You keep this up, I'd need to do something to solve my little problem there."
Brennan eyed his erection through his pants, "I'd say it's more like a big problem."
Booth shut his eyes, trying to picture a set of gruesome remains. Her hands on him was making it difficult to do so.
"So not helping Bones."
Suddenly he felt the elevator lurch to a stop.
Booth's eyes snapped open. "What happened?"
"I pushed the emergency stop button."
"What? Why?"
"Because, you have an emergency."
Booth laughed. "Right, I do. Can't let me very Catholic parents see this."
"How do you propose we fix this?" Brennan asked with her most seductive grin.
Booth grabbed her roughly by the hips with both hands, pulling her flush against him. He kissed her hard, running a hand up the slit of her dress that rode all the way up her thighs.
"A dress like this should be illegal." He breathed into her mouth as his other hand moved to smooth the warm skin of her back.
"Mmmm… I thought you might like some sex after dinner tonight, so I dressed for the occasion."
"Nice, very nice."
"Since we're running late we'd better solve your problem real quick."
"My thoughts exactly Bones."
No sooner had the words left his mouth, Booth felt her hands remove his belt buckle, unzip his pants and drop them to the floor. Booth shrugged off his shoes and stepped out of his pants, freeing his raging erection from his boxers. He watched as Brennan licked her lips in anticipation and he almost felt like losing it right there. But he had to satisfy his beautiful partner, so he kept it together.
Booth moved in to press himself against her, using his hand to cushion her from the impact of him throwing her against the wall of the elevator. With one hand he moved to cup her right breast through the thin fabric of her dress, her nipple already erect and hard. He moved his lips to kiss her neck, making her moan in appreciation as his thumb flicked at her nipple. Moving his mouth he sucked at her other nipple, the sensation of his hot mouth and silken fabric against it making her buck her hips against him as a barely-controlled Seeley left her lips.
"You ready for me babe?"
He let the word slip before he realized it. He expected all hell to break lose and for her to kick him hard in the balls but instead she moaned out a sexy, "All wet for you."
Brennan felt his lips crash forcefully onto hers. She felt his warm hand slide up her dress, bunching it above her waist as he yanked her panties down and tossed it to join the pile of clothes that consisted of his pants and boxers.
She felt his lips leave hers as he looked down to grab his cock to align himself at her entrance. His fingers brushed her fold, giving one hard pass over he clit, making her knees buckle.
He chuckled then moaned out, "Aww… I love when you do that," when she licked and nipped at a spot behind his ear that she knew drove him crazy with want for her.
With one swift movement, he lifted her right leg at the thigh, hooking it over his hip as he thrust into her, causing her breath to catch in her throat. His thrusts were hard and frantic, and soon some of his thrusts were hitting somewhere nice inside her.
"Do you love me?"
"I love you Temperance, I love you, I love you, I love you."
Sensing that he was close, she tightened her walls around him, causing him to swear in her ear, "Fuck Temperance, so tight, so good."
She tossed her head back, arching her hips towards him, allowing deeper penetration. Each stroke of his hit that sweet spot deep within.
"Ohhhh… you got it baby, yes, right there, don't stop."
Her hands clutched at the lapels of his shirt, clinging on for deal life. He felt her walls clench, knowing she was close but not close enough. At this rate he was going to come before her.
She felt his hand that was bracing them against the elevator wall move to where they were joined, then with to firm strokes of his thumb over her clit, she shattered, flinging her arms round his neck, biting out her cry of his given name into his shoulder. She felt him let out a groan as he exploded deep inside her, his breath hard and fast beside her as he rested his forehead against the wall.
Slowly he lowered her leg that was hooked on his hip to the ground, sliding out of her.
"That was…." She panted, trying to catch her breath.
"Amazing…. Every single time with you… amazing." He finished her sentence.
"Yes that."
"First time in an elevator."
"Really?"
"Yes. You mean, you've done this before?"
"I might have, sorry." Brennan offered Booth an apologetic look.
Booth chuckled. "I'm definitely changing my opinion about people with multiple PhDs."
"Did you call me babe?"
"Did you call me baby?"
"Don't get used to it, Seeley." Brennan retrieved her panties from the pile of clothes, tossing Booth's boxers and pants to him.
"Ditto."
"Oh no."
"What?"
"We can't meet your parents looking like this? I mean you've got lip-stick marks all over."
"You kidding? Your hair's a mess and you've got that I just got thoroughly fucked by my boyfriend against the wall and hell ya it was good look on your face."
Satisfied that both were decent, Brennan pressed the emergency stop button again, making the elevator lurch and continue its ascent.
"We'll stop by the bathroom before we go into the restaurant." Booth smiled, pulling her with an arm slung round her shoulder towards him.
The elevator doors slid open.
"Seeley?"
"Sam."
"No wonder you're late, you guys had a quickie in the car?"
Booth blushed. "Shhh… Mom and Dad will hear."
"Booth?"
"Umm yeah, this is my kid sister Samantha. Sam, meet my girlfriend and partner, Dr Temperance Brennan."
"Nice to meet you." Brennan stretched her hand.
"Nice to meet you too." Sam took Brennan's outstretched hand. "Seeley was right, you are beautiful."
"Thank you."
"No wonder he want to jump you every chance he gets."
"Sam!"
"Booth talked to you about me?"
"Yeah, but we have time to go into that later. I think you two need to go straighten out some clothes."
"Yeah, we do. Come on Bones, let's go get cleaned up and get this show on the road."
Just so you guys know, it isn't easy switching from the older BB to the younger BB in each chapter, almost like writing two stories in one chapter. So I'm always glad to know what you guys think of what I wrote.
And umm… yeah I'll fix BB soon, I mean the older BB, the younger pair are having the time of their lives! lol
