Cam shifted her head to her left shoulder, and then to her right.

Big girl here. I can do this. She walked into the lab, and headed to her office.

Giving himself fifteen minutes to pull herself together, she gathered her clipboard, and her notes on the Jennison FBI case, and pushed out into the main lab.

Swiping onto the lab floor she took a deep breath, "okay folks, anything new on Mr. Jennison?"

Brennan spoke without looking up, "Dr. Bray thinks he may have found the cause of death."

Cam glanced at him.

"Yeah well I was looking at the marks on the fifth and sixth vertebrae and I noticed that not only were they both marked, but that the marks were identical. Identical shape, size, even angle…, if we change how he was sitting when he was killed."

Cam nodded her head, listening to him with half an ear. Looking at the data he and Brennan pulled up on the screens with only half an eye. Turning her head to the side she snuck a glance at Hodgins who was being a 'good boy' and not paying any attention to her.

"… so, I'm just trying to do a comparison of some of the known two tipped weapons to see if I can find a match."

"And Angela is taking some basic size and shape data for the victim to see if she can come up with a holo-scenario."

Cam snapped to attention, realizing they were at the end of their report. "Good. Good. Looks like everything here is under control."

Wendell smiled and nodded his head. Brennan said nothing.

"Well then…" Cam turned away then turned back. "Okay I'm going to say something, and really, it's not up for discussion, I'm just sharing because things have a tendency to come out in the lab one way or another, and I'd rather just get it out before it becomes a rumor or an issue." She could feel Hodgins' eyes on her. Taking a deep breath she continued. "Dr. Hodgins and I are… are… dating." She stopped, waiting for a response. Feedback. Condemnation?

Dr. Brennan spoke first. "Congratulations Cam, Jack, you two make an… admirable couple."

"Admirable?" Jack asked as he edged his way towards Cam.

"You're both quite smart, not as smart as I am, perhaps, but still, if you were to take this relationship to its logical conclusion, your offspring would be quite intelligent, and if I may say so, based upon your physical make up and structure, aesthetically pleasing." She looked down, then back up, "Although, they would probably be somewhat short, but height has little bearing on societal success these days, so that should have little effect on their future. So yes, it's an admirable pairing. Congratulations."

"Um, thank you?" Cam responded, glancing at Jack for the first time as he hesitantly wrapped his arm around her waist; surprised and beaming because his girl had taken the plunge. She'd put it all out there. She was still afraid. Still scared of the future, but she'd taken the leap.

"Well if no one else is going to ask, I will: 'how's the sex?'" Angela smiled a happy inquisitive smile..

"Great." Hodgins grinned.

"Sex? Who mentioned sex?" Cam responded at the same time that Jack spoke. She groaned when she realized what his response had been.

Brennan smirked and kept working, Wendell blushed a bit, and Angela, if it was possible, smiled even bigger than she had been before.

"My… our… sex life is not open for discussion here people." Cam leaned to the side and kissed Jack on the cheek. A chaste, sweet, one second kiss.

It was probably one of the best kisses he'd ever experienced in his life.

"All right, everyone, back to work! The faster we get our work done, the faster we can get home for the holidays!" Cam turned and left the work area, a smile larger than Angela's on her face.
