That Great Love

Ch 14
Brennan opened the door. Sully was there. "Hi, Sully. What can I do for you?"
"Awfully formal there, Tempe. I wanted to see if you wanted to go to dinner." Sully saw Parker and Booth still in the background.
"Actually, we just ordered pizza. Sweets and the delivery man should be here any minute. Come into the kitchen." They sat at the table. "Sully, you gave me a wonderful offer. Any woman would love to take it. When it comes right down to it, I am probably the only woman who can't take it. I have very wonderful memories of our time together. When it comes down to it, I just don't see a future for us. I have a daughter to think of first." She held his hand.
"This is all about Booth. He has always wanted you. He couldn't stand it when we were together. I left and when I come back you are playing house with him. His kid kicked me! He did it because he loves you. I get that. You never even wanted kids. But you know, I am in a good place now, I will give you as many as you want. But Booth's kid looks at you like you're his mother. Where did Booth's girlfriend fit into all this?" Sully was so confused.
At this point Sweets knocks on the door. Booth lets him in. Sweets sees Sully in the kitchen and is confused. Right after the pizzas came.
"Sully, I am sorry. But this is my decision. I do love Parker. Booth and I have been best friends and partners for a long time. We are going to try for more. I love him. I have always loved him. I think it's time for you to go." Brennan couldn't believe she said that in front of Sweets and Booth. However, the pizza came. They didn't want the kids to eat in the living room.
"I can't wait to see the look on Hacker's face when he finds out that you two are together." Sully smiled and left.
Booth shrugged. "That really is a mistake. I'm his boss right now."
Sweets had a look of satisfaction on his face. "You two are really going to date?"
"Dada, up!" Livi ordered. She wanted in her high chair. She smelled the food.
"She's calling you Dada?" Sweets inquired.
"We didn't tell her to, she just did." Booth defended.
"It's okay, Dr. Sweets. When Livi is with Dad, I can be with Bones. That way I won't be lonely." Parker smiled at the young psychologist.
Brennan went on to the conversation of dinner. She got out some paper plates. "Parker, I have juice boxes or lemon lime soda. Do you guys want a beer?"
The men nodded. Parker picked soda. They all started eating.
"So, how do you guys feel about your new situation?" Sweets kept at it.
"Sweets, I asked for help with Olivia, she is doing well. She has added several more words. I invited you here because I know we haven't been at Founding Fathers' as much. Daisy is gone for a while to visit her family. We know you haven't been getting quality time with us. Let's not spend that time making Booth angry." She smiled at Sweets.
"Point taken, Dr. Brennan." He looked at this makeshift family and was happy he was included in it.
"Sweets!" Livi giggled.
They had a good night of pizza and cartoons. Sweets didn't shrink them for the rest of the night. However, while Brennan put Livi to bed, Booth had a serious conversation with Sweets.
"Sweets, you have to help us. Sully is definitely going to tell Hacker. We need your help. Can you back us up? She won't work with anyone else. I won't either." Booth was genuinely worried.
"I can make recommend that you stay together. I have always been on that position. You bring out the best in each other. I suggest you call Caroline first thing to get more help. The Jeffersonian won't care. Hacker let himself date Brennan. It would definitely show bias if he doesn't let you. I will see what I can do." Sweets saw Brennan walk in.
"Are we discussing what happens when Sully turns us in? You know I will refuse to work with anyone else. It's the Jeffersonian that has the contract with the FBI. I can have my interns work with you. Clark is probably the most capable to take my position, then the others would fluctuate like normal. I could teach. I could actually do nothing. I have money. I don't actually have to work. These are things that should frighten the FBI." She laughed at the thought.
"There is no way you wouldn't work." Booth laughed.
Parker had started falling asleep. Sweets decided he should go home.
"Goodnight, guys. Thanks for having me over." Sweets and Booth walked toward the door. Brennan put a blanket over Parker on the couch.
"I guess we should go." Booth looked sad to leave.
"He should be okay on the couch, right?" Brennan asked.
"Yeah, but where would I sleep?" He asked, not wanting to be too forward.
"Booth, we've slept next to each other before, plenty of times." She laughed at his old fashioned ideals.
"You weren't mine then. I don't know if I can control myself. I could barely control myself then."
"You said you could show me. Maybe you should." She was standing dangerously close to him.
"We should go out on a date and do everything right. Just cuddle with me tonight, Bones." It almost hurt him to say it.
"Whatever you say. Come on, this way to my room." She took his hand.
She led him to the bed. She took off his shirt. Then she took off his belt. "I often thought about undressing you after I undressed you for evidence. I was a little disappointed that Cam interrupted us."
"I replayed that in my mind a million times, Bones." He was actually blushing a little when he admitted that.
"What did I do after undressing you?" She was very curious about this subject.
"It was probably different each time." He has a very active imagination.
She kissed him. There he was in nothing but his boxers, kissing Bones in her bedroom. He was in heaven. Then he thought about what he wanted to do. He wanted to romance her. He wanted to woo her. He wanted to make her feel like she was the most special person in the world because he loves her.
"Bones slow down. We can't do this yet. I want to really make you feel special all day and all night first. Please." He didn't know how to express how he felt.
She backed off. She took off most of her clothes on front of him. She put on a big t-shirt. She crawled into bed with him. He thought that was the most sensual torture he'd ever had. She kissed him again. It was lighter, like a sweet goodnight kiss.
"I love you, Booth." She couldn't believe she was saying this out loud.
"I love you too, Bones." He cuddled up to her and their bodies fit perfectly. She only let a few men ever cuddle her. She had never felt so safe and loved as she did in his arms. They both fell asleep.
