Chapter: 25

The secret in the emotion;

The silk sheets barely covered her bottom half as she laid on her stomach –hair sprawled out around her face. She looked beautiful when she slept –she looked peaceful and happy. Booth propped himself up on his elbow and watched as her back rose and fell with her steady breathing. He softly drew his fingers to her milky flesh drawling small hearts and circles along her lower back. He pushed the sheet down more as his hand traveled gently to her naked bottom.

She groaned happily and slowly let her eyes flutter open to see the man she loved looking down at her softly touching her body.

"What are you doing?" she whispered not moving as his lips came down along her shoulder, lapping it with soft kisses.

"Good morning…" he said huskily wrapping one arm around her waist pulling her body flush against his as he settled himself on top of her.

"Booth!" she breathed out closing her eyes throwing her head back against the pillow feeling his lips travel between her breasts.

Over the last few weeks Temperance was adapting quite well to having Booth around all the time. They had gotten Parker a few times on the weekends and weekdays Booth was supposed to have him and Parker was thrilled they got to live there with her. The next weekend they had Parker she and Booth were going to surprise him and let him pick out paint to paint his room.

She thought it would be a good bonding experience for her and Parker and not to mention Booth. The three of them had a great relationship already and she wanted to keep it that way. She loved Parker as if he were her own and she wanted nothing more then to have the Booth family in her life for as long as she could.

Booth softly ran his tongue along her stomach and his hands up her sides as he held her hands out and above her head before making his way back up her body. His lips crashed along her own for soft yet passionate kisses. He let go of one of her hands and felt her fingers thread through his hair as she softly pulled it.

Pulling away unwillingly she looked up into his dark hues she loved so much and smiled.

God did she love this man!

"You know -," she started before the sound of their phones ringing interrupted the moment.

With a sigh Booth leaned up off of her as she reached out for the sheet with one hand and her phone in the other.

"Brennan," she said with a yawn looking over at the clock that read six in the morning. "yes… well actually Booth and I were just getting up…. Yes… ok." With a frown she hit the end button on her phone and put it on the night stand seeing Booth's deliciously naked body stand to put his boxers on with his phone to his ear listening to his message.

"Was that Cam?"

She nodded seeing him flipping his phone shut.

"There should be a rule about what time we're aloud to be called in… this is too damn early!" he complained with a chuckling sigh –wishing more then anything he could make love to the woman that was in her … their bed.

He could never get tired of saying their.

Their apartment.

Their bed.

Their love… they were one and Seeley didn't want it any other way.

"Sweetie are you ok?" Angela asked as she walked up the platform to see her best friend with tears in her eyes.

Temperance swallowed hard and whipped her eyes nodding. "I'm fine, Ange." She lied walking over to the examination table.

"Fine… it doesn't look like you're fine." Angela walked around the opposite side of the table watching her best friend and godmother of her child lean down to examine the remains from this mornings crime scene.

A man and woman were in a car accident this morning and their remains were burnt. The only way they identified them was through dental records and after Cam brought those in this afternoon the case was a final go.

David and Jennifer Morrison.

They were only married a few years and had a five year old little girl.

The accident wasn't just an ordinary car wreck –there was evidence that the bodies were dead before the accident and fire.

It was staged.

"By the chipping on the bone it appears she was strangled with some sort of wire…" Brennan proceeded as she looked at the remains intensely ignoring the fact Angela was still standing there.

"Bren!" Angela said softly seeing the tears well up in her friends eyes again. She walked around the table and stood next to the anthropologist.

"We'll know for sure once the x-rays come back," she proceeded to say as she whipped more tears that fell from her cheeks.

"Temperance!" Angela said finally getting her best friends attention. She never called her by her first name and when she did she knew that Brennan knew she meant business. "Sweetie…" her tone was soft now as she looked Temperance in the eyes. "What's the matter?"

"I don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know?" Angela asked with a sigh. "You've been crying every since the bodies were identified. Do you know these people?" she asked looking down at the table quickly then back up at Brennan.

Temperance shook her head no as she removed her gloves and started down the platform to her office.

Angela was right at her side.

"I mean… I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I'll be fine one minute and the next I'm emotional." She swallowed hard leaning on the front of her desk covering her eyes with her hands to wipe more of her tears away.

Angela frowned and reached one hand out softly rubbing it up and down her best friends arm. "Do you know those people?" she asked again.

Again Bones shook her head no. "No I don't know them," she said softly licking her salty lips. "They have a little girl…." She finally said walking past the artist as she sat down on the couch.

"I know." Angela frowned and sat down on the coffee table in front of her.

"As far as we know she has no family… I mean Cam couldn't find any relatives…. All they had was each other," she said with a cry in her tone. "That little girl is going to be put into foster care…" her eyes widened when she said that as a few more tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Oh sweetie… she'll go to a good home, the system has changed –you know that better then anyone!" Angela tried to convince her –which it had. The system had gotten better over the years.

"She has no one, Ange…" Brennan started to cry again as Angela pulled her in for a tight hug.

"Shh, it's ok. We'll make sure she goes to a good family… I promise, Bren. We'll catch whoever did this and we'll find that little girl a good family," she whispered into her best friends ear.

In the doorway Booth stood there for a moment trying to determine which female was upset –he didn't want to interrupt if they were having a female heart to heart but when he heard Angela finally speak he knew it was his cue to come in.

He hated to see Temperance cry.

"Hey."

Both women pulled apart as the sexy agent sat next to his girlfriend.

"Bones? What's wrong?" he asked rubbing his hand up and down her back gently.

"It's nothing, I'm fine." She said doing one final wipe of her eyes as she slowly stood walking over to her desk with her back to them.

Seeley looked to Angela as she nodded her head to Brennan for him to go and comfort her as she made her way out of the office.

Seeley stood there for a moment and without hesitation he pulled Bones back against him turning her in his arms holding her against his chest. They stayed like that for a few minutes before he kissed her forehead and spoke out.

"You want to tell me what's going on?" he asked wholeheartedly.

"I don't know… I've been emotional lately," she confessed looking up at him with a sigh.

He couldn't help but chuckle, "I've noticed… like last weekend when you cried during Toy Story 3, with me and Parker."

She frowned for a moment wondering if he was making fun of her then saw the sympathy on his face.

"I think with this past year…, you and me finally getting together and moving in…. it's all a little overwhelming and I don't know how to handle it?"

Booth furrowed his brows together softly rubbing her back. "Are you having regrets?"

"No!" she answered quickly as they both chuckled and smiled at the same time. "I mean… no," she said softer. "I'm just adjusting to it all and -," she felt Booth's finger on her lips.

"I understand," he said softly caressing her lips with his finger tips. "You don't need to say anymore honey; I understand the feeling of being overwhelmed. I feel like that sometimes too but I don't mind it, we've come so far and I wouldn't change it for the world."

It was true, spite the fact they had been through hell and back this past year and a half –he wouldn't change it for the world. It made their relationship stronger then ever.

Angela rushed into her best friends office with a small bag in her hand holding it up, "I got it now lets -," she paused smiling quickly. "Oh," she stopped herself seeing Booth and Brennan in a little lip lock. "I can come back!" she said happily

Temperance laughed and pulled away from her lover softly touching her lips with her fingers.

"You're fine, Ange… he was just leaving," she said softly. They were having a small goodbye kiss even though he was coming back in a few hours to get her to go home.

"What you got there?" Booth asked seeing Angela clutch a small brown bag to her chest.

Her eyes widened as she looked past him to Brennan, "just some girly stuff," she said with a quick smile.

Booth shook his head, "ok…." He paused assuming she was talking about the female thing. "I think I'm gonna go now," he said backing his way out of the office. "Talk to you later," he said winking at Temperance.

"Sorry for busting in here like that…" Angela said softly handing Brennan the small bag.

"No worries," Brennan said softly swallowing hard as she tucked the bag into her work bag to take home with her.

"What are you doing?" Angela asked a little disappointed.

"Going back to work."

"Sweetie… this is serious… you can't wait any longer, I think you should do the test… now!" she said softly with a happy yet worried tone on in her expression.

Brennan shook her head as she sat down at her desk, "I'm not going to do it here at work, Ange, besides I told you yesterday I've been menstruating like I normally do…. I'm not pregnant!"

"You have the symptoms though," she said happily leaning on the desk. "I mean you've been extremely emotional lately, moody even!"

Temperance glared up at her best friend and frowned.

"Everyone gets like that sometimes… I'm sorry if I've upset you with my mood swings but every woman is entitled to those every once in awhile."

Angela chuckled and nodded her head.

"Besides if I was pregnant I wouldn't be having my period and I'm on the pill, or I was…" Brennan trailed off biting her bottom lip.

"Was?"

Temperance tilted her head slightly and looked up at Angela quickly before focusing her attention back on her computer, "I had to stop taking the ones I was prescribed by my doctor for personal reasons, I just haven't started my new pill yet and Booth and I have been careful," she said softly and surely.

She made sure to end the discussion quickly, she knew for a fact she wasn't pregnant. Angela was just making a big deal out of it for nothing. There was no way she was carrying a child, she knew her body and knew it well –better than anyone else and if she was pregnant she would be the first one to know.

There was no way she was.

Right?

"Come on Bones, what's taking you so long?" Booth yelled out from outside the bathroom door.

"Just give me a minute Booth!" she called back to him looking down at the test waiting for the result. Even though she knew the answer to it, she was taking it to prove to Angela she was wrong.

"Our food is getting cold… are you sick?" he asked with a worried tone. When a minute or two passed and she didn't answer he finally decided to open the door. "Bones?" he said softly seeing her turn around quickly hearing something drop on the bathroom floor.

Seeley walked into the bathroom more and bent down to pick up the stick that was on the ground. Once he realized what it was he looked up at her quickly seeing the look on her face as she grabbed it from him carefully.

"Booth… I …" she stumbled scared that he was going to yell at her or they would get into an argument because she didn't tell him.

"Bones…" he said softly with a gentle smile. "Are you… are we?" he stumbled now.

She swallowed hard reading his expression –then his tone. He was happy about this. She thought for sure he would be against it seeing what they had talked about all those months back before he moved in.

She swallowed loudly looking down at the test before putting it on the bathroom sink. She stepped closer to him and shook her head, "no, we're not. I'm not pregnant, Booth." The falling look of disappointment on his face was enough to break her heart at that moment.

"Oh," he said silently.

"I never suspected that I was… I was only taking the test because Angela had a theory with all my mood swings lately that I could possibly be… but I'm not." She frowned slightly and touched his chest feeling one of his arms wind around her waist, "I was just taking it to prove to her that I was right. I didn't want to tell you because I knew for a fact that I wasn't pregnant and I also didn't want to cause any problems between us."

"What?" he said softly wrapping his other arm around her thin waist. "Why would that cause problems between us? I love you, Temperance… if you were pregnant I would be the happiest man alive right now."

"But you said… we talked about children and you… we agreed that we would wait."

"I know that…. But that doesn't mean in the mean time that if you were to get pregnant I would be upset. I would be happy, I want a family with you someday and if it's meant to be for us now then that's great."

"But it's not," she said the obvious.

He nodded his head and sighed holding her closer against him, "I guess not."
