Sorry this is late, I'll try to have another update for you before the next episode. I've been super busy with school though, so if I'm late again, please don't hold it against me. :o) Thanks for reading!
She was washing dishes. They had finished dinner, and Booth went to take a shower. She heard the water shut off and a few moments later, she felt him arms slid around her waist. She put the dish towel down, and turned around in his arms "Hi." He said with a smile. Brennan reached up and laid a hand on his cheek "I was scared today." Booth pulled back some to get a good look at her face "I'm sorry." Brennan shook her head "It's not your fault, it was illogical really, I was scared because you could have been hurt even though I knew you were fine."
Booth leaned down and kissed her then "I was scared too" he said after the brief kiss "But there's nothing to worry about right now." Brennan frowned slightly "There's so much to worry about, we still haven't caught the killer, and we…" she was stopped by another quick kiss "I mean right this minute, you and I, we don't need to worry."
Brennan nodded "Alright." She said, and he smiled. She turned to finish the dishes, but stopped and once again turned to him "Is it wrong that I feel relief now?" Booth looked thoughtful "I don't think so, I feel it." Brennan nodded "So do I, now that she's gone and there's no way that she will hurt anyone ever again, I feel like I'll be able to sleep better at night." Booth reached out and gave her hand a squeeze "And if you still have trouble sleeping, I'll be right here." Brennan didn't know what to say. It was always hard for her to voice the feelings she had always tried to keep inside, so this time it was she that leaned forward and gave Booth the kiss.
As she finished the dishes, and Booth helped to put them away, she knew that tonight was one night, that sleep would come easy.
