I know it's been some time since I updated this oneXD and I apologize for the delay but here is the next chappie;)

Disclaimer: Bones belongs to Fox.

As soon as Brennan spotted Angela walking towards her office she knew what was coming. Angela sent her friend wagging eyebrows as she closed the door after herself. The knowing smile on Angela's lips was wide and Brennan couldn't help but give her head a small shake.

"I'm waiting." Angela took the chair across from Brennan's, an expectant look on her face.

"Well," Brennan began from the rainy night she and Booth kissed at the deserted rest stop.

"Go on!" Angela squealed, leaning forward to rest her arms on Brennan's desk. Brennan laughed softly at her friend's enthusiasm and continued.

"I'm so happy for you." Angela was glad those two were finally together. "And I totally agree on the secretly part." Angela winked at her friend. Before Brennan could tell Angela that there's been talk about letting their kids know, Booth entered the office.

"Hello, Angela." Booth gave Angela a nod as he stood next to Brennan's desk. The partners shared a look that spoke volumes.

"Oh, don't mind me." Angela laughed loudly. "I'm gonna…uhm…" She pointed towards the door, not being able to hide her happiness for the two. "Congrats." She whispered at the two before she did the locked lips gesture and exited the office.

Booth chuckled once the artist left. "I can imagine how that went." He gave Brennan his charm smile as he grabbed her coat. "Lunch time!" His enthusiasm was contagious and Brennan was out of her chair instantly.

B&B
Rather than getting a bite to eat at the Diner or Founding Fathers they opted for Booth's place.

"What do you feel like eating?" Booth asked over his shoulder as he threw his suit jacket on the couch and worked on removing his holstered gun from his hip.

Brennan smiled as she watched his every move. She had yet to talk to him about his forgotten boxers at her place. She'd wanted to wait until they were alone and face to face so she could check for herself if Booth went commando often.

"Bones?" He asked as he turned to face her. He arched an eyebrow in question as he watched her silent approach. She looked incredibly sexy with the look she had on her face and Booth smiled in response.

Brennan found his lips crashing against hers in a breath taking kiss and she wrapped her arms around him.

"Bones!" Booth laughed as he felt Brennan un-tuck his shirt and work on his belt. Brennan told him about the forgotten boxers under her bed. "I know!" Booth told her that he was in a hurry to catch up to her that day and then he forgot about them. Looking under the bed hadn't occurred to him at the time.

Booth wrapped his arms around Brennan as their kiss intensified.

"Bones." He moaned as her hand found its way into his boxers and closed around him. Booth found her laugh sexy as he kissed her neck. Well, he found all and everything of her to be sexy. His hands wondered under her blouse as his lips reached her left ear.

"Will more trials be needed for your experiment?" His breath brushed against her neck as he whispered. Brennan smiled to herself as she pressed her body closer to his and allowed her other hand to work on the buttons of his shirt.

"More trials are a must." Brennan joked as she nibbled on his jaw, his shirt already on the floor as she explained how relaxed he seemed while he went around without his boxers at her place. He admitted that the feeling of relaxation and comfort at her place with their family made him completely forget about his boxers.

"Mm-hmm." Brennan joked as she stopped touching him. He growled his displeasure but stopped short as he felt the clothing on his bottom half pool at his feet.

"Hmmm," Booth arched a playful eyebrow at her as he kicked his shoes and pooled clothing to the side. Brennan's throaty laugh filled the living room as his hands traveled her back and he pointed out that he was going to conduct his own trials as well.

Meanwhile

Tracey was seated on a table working on her lunch when Parker joined her.

"Thank you." He switched his white milk for her chocolate milk with a smile.

"Hey!" Tracey shot him a glare and took back her chocolate milk.

"I tried." He laughed as he asked her to go into details about a pair of boxers found with Brennan's load of laundry.

Tracey's friend Donna joined the two, catching their conversation.

"Maybe the boxer's are her boyfriend's." Donna commented as she sat next to Tracey. At the silence and look the other two were giving her, Donna laughed. "What? You honestly don't think she could have a boyfriend?" She laughed with a headshake as she dug into her food.

Tracey and Parker stared at each other. A third player would complicate things. It would've been easier for the young partners to believe Brennan wore the boxers for comfort or that they belonged to Booth. Now the possibility of a boyfriend brought up the need for an investigation. They were now on a mission to find out who was Brennan's boyfriend.

The partners settled for a quick lunch after their 'experimental trial' concluded. They stood in his kitchen, shoulders touching and leaning against the sink. Booth's ham sandwich had cheese, lettuce and tomato. Brennan's had tomato, lettuce and red bell pepper slices.

As Booth watched her he smiled contently. His fridge was invaded with healthy veggies and things Brennan liked to eat. Truth be told he liked most of those things too, so it was no sacrifice to have them in his fridge. He allowed his left arm to wrap around her waist, his hand landing on her hip. Brennan turned her head to the side to look at him. She returned the playful, loving smile he shot her as they both hurried to finish their sandwiches in order to get a move on it and be on their way back to work.

The young partners will find out about B&B soon, but first they'll look at the possible candidates for Brennan's boyfriend. Any guesses as to who these two think the 'secret' boyfriend might be?

Reviews are nice;) Happy Holidays! I already got my early Christmas miracleXD
