So I'm sorry I haven't posted in a few days. I was going to post Thursday night/ Friday morning but the season finale had my mind working on what was going to happen instead... Can you blame me though?

IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE FINALE DO NOT READ FURTHER! Anyway, I love/ hate the finale because I was sure that B&B would get together before they went their separate directions... apparently not though. And was I the only one who wanted to shoot Daisy? She kept on talking about how B&B were holding each other back and they both needed space or whatever from each other. And then I felt so bad for Sweets! He had to chose between Daisy and his life (I personally think he made the right choice though I do love them as a couple). Booth and Brennan will be so lonely without each other, especially not seeing or talking to each other for twelve months. I also think Brennan is going to want to kill Daisy by the end of the Indonesia trip. i mean she wants to after a few days in the lab. Speaking of the lab, poor Cam. She has to train a whole new staff to fill in for a year; at least she'll have Sweets help though!

Okay, sorry for the rant, but I really needed to get it out. But now to the next chapter of Past Sins, Future Forgiveness?

Brennan returned to the Jeffersonian with work being the furthest thing from her mind. All she could think about was Booth and their blooming relationship. She didn't know how to approach their relationship; she knew Booth preferred his relationships to be private, so Brennan would respect those wishes. She didn't know how she and Booth would fair with seeing each other; whether it would be awkward, completely normal, or if the conversation right after their first kiss was an indicator, if they'd be able to control their biological urges.

When she quietly went to her office, thankful she had avoided Angela. She grabbed everything she needed to work downstairs, and left her office. As she began to go to work with the aged skeletons, her mind turned on autopilot as she resumed her train of thought. After about a minute in this mind set, she literally ran into Hodgins.

"Hey, Dr. B. What's the rush?" he asked. Then let out a little smirk. Brennan was oblivious to this, though.

"I'd like to get back to the cases back in the bone storage. I've lost a fair amount of time today."

"Yeah, I heard about Abe and Booth's connection. How is Booth taking it?"

"Fairly well considering the circumstances. If you'll excuse, I should get downstairs."

"Yeah, sure. But, uh, Dr. B?"

"Yes?"

"Your lipstick is a little smudged," Hodgins answered with his little smirk growing into a full 'I know what you did' smile before walking on. Brennan quickly turned in embarrassment and rushed towards the nearest bathroom, where she quickly fixed her lipstick. Thank God that Angela and Hodgins don't gossip like they did when they were dating. Brennan went to bone storage and tried to involve herself in her work. Again, Booth appeared on her mind. Abe's words echoed through her mind. "Do you think about my son consistently when you aren't around him?" She had denied it to Abe, but Booth was always on her mind in some way. Whether if it was as Andy Lister or her trying to find evidence for them or even these moments when she let her mind wonder and he found his way into her thoughts.

Her thoughts were eventually interrupted by a familiar sound. The sound of high heels clicking. Brennan hoped it was Cam. It wasn't.

"Sweetie, are you doing okay?"

"Why wouldn't I be, Ange?"

"I don't know; maybe because last time I saw you, you were going to talk to Abe in your office." Brennan internally let out a sigh of relief. Hodgins didn't tell her about the lipstick.

"Everything's fine. Abe and Booth talked, and though Booth does not forgive Abe, they can be social." Angela searched Brennan's face for any sign of how she was doing, and to her surprise, Brennan looked very happy. Suspiciously happy.

"Sweetie, are you not telling me something?"

"No." Brennan hoped that she wouldn't give away, but she didn't look up from the skeleton anyway.

"If you say so." Angela didn't quite believe her, she knew Brennan too well. But since the doctor had attempted to lie to her, there must be a good reason. She would get it out of her, eventually.

Brennan's phone began to ring. She looked at Angela who gave her permission to answer it with a nod.

"Brennan."

"Bones, where are you?"

"At the lab. I told you that."

"Where in the lab? In case you haven't noticed, it's kinda a big place."

"Bone storage."

"I'll be down in just a second." Booth sounded more excited than a child who was told that school was cancelled for the rest of the year. But the phone hung up before Brennan could say another thing. Brennan couldn't help but smile and roll her eyes. Angela noticed.

"Who was that?"

"Booth," Brennan answered, trying to act as though the events of earlier had not occurred (which was harder than she had suspected. The women heard Booth coming down the stairs. Angela quietly scooted back into the shadows a bit- not enough for Brennan to notice, but enough Booth wouldn't see her right away. They watched as the agent flew down the steps, all together missing the last two stairs in his excitement to see his Bones.

Booth quickly ran to Brennan, completely oblivious to the occupant in the room. Brennan quickly forgot about her best friend, as well, as the man approached her- she even forgot the skeleton laying in front of her (something that was not an uncommon when Booth entered the room).

Booth ran up to Brennan and without giving it another thought, he kissed her just as passionately as they had in his office. She kissed back just as avidly. Angela held back a scream, though she did take out her phone and take a quick picture and sent it to Hodgins, before shuffling further back into the shadows of the room. She wasn't going to say a word that would mess this moment up. She'd been trying to get this to happen for almost six years, and any outside interference might screw it up.

Booth and Brennan separated once both set of lungs ran out of air.

"What's going on, Booth?" Brennan asked with a smile so big Angela thought it was unnatural.

"The FBI won't stop us, at all. They won't give more sessions with Sweets or anything!" He pulled her in for another kiss, which was much shorter than the prior one, but just as passionate.

"How?"

"I honestly don't have a clue. Cullen just said not to let it interfere with our work and to keep it out of both of our offices."

"Technically, this isn't either of our offices," Brennan replied, pulling him in for a third kiss. Angela's phone went off- a text back from Jack from the picture she had sent him.

Brennan suddenly remembered the artist. She pulled back from the kiss, her and Booth's foreheads met.

"Everything okay, Bones?"

"Angela," she muttered.

"What about her?"

"She's down here."

"Not like it would have been a secret, anyway," he sighed. "Angela, you can come out." A joyful, ear shattering scream was heard throughout the entire lab.
