I don't own Bones, I know I have 206 in my body, but the Bones from Fox isn't mine.
The Lab
They were up early the next day, and Bones went with Booth to drop Kelsey off at school. Kelsey was excited, and she didn't stop talking all the way there.
"…and then Mommy, you know what?"
"What Kelsey?"
"My teacher told us we were going to visit the library once a week. There is a library in our school, so we don't even have to leave the building."
"There was a library in my school when I was a little girl."
"Really? Did you go there during school?"
"Yes we did. Once a week we would visit the library. When I first started to go, the librarian made me take easy reader books, but after my father went there and talked to her, I was able to take any books I wanted."
"You mean, Grandpa?"
"Yes, Grandpa was my Daddy when I was little."
"My teacher told the librarian to let me take out older books, so she doesn't do that to me. Were you angry with the librarian?"
"No, but I was very happy after my father talked to her."
Booth pulled up in front of the school and parked.
"Kelsey, ready to go?"
"Yes Daddy, I can't wait for Mommy to meet my teacher. Come on, Mommy let's go."
Brennan laughed at her enthusiasm, as she led her to the room.
"I'm coming."
Mrs. Bryson looked up as Kelsey walked into the room with her father and a beautiful woman. She wondered who it was; she didn't think Mr. Booth was ready for a relationship.
"Mrs. Bryson, hi this is my Mommy."
Her teacher looked at the woman holding Kelsey's hand, and the smile on her father's face, and realized that Kelsey was right. Her mother came home.
"Hello, it is nice to meet you."
They shook hands.
"You have a very bright daughter."
"I know, Booth said she takes after me."
"Mrs. Bryson, can I show my Mommy the classroom?"
"Yes Kelsey. Go ahead."
She watched Kelsey lead her mother around the classroom, wondering what happened in California.
"Mrs. Bryson, I found my wife in California, and brought her home. She was kidnapped by a serial killer and given medication that erased her memories. We're trying to help her remember."
Just as he finished, Kelsey came back with Brennan.
"Daddy, Mommy loves my school. Can she stay with me?"
"No Baby, she needs to go to the lab today. We need to go, but we will be back at the end of the day, ok?"
"Yes Daddy. I love you."
"Love you too Baby."
She went to Brennan and hugged her.
"I love you Mommy."
"I love you too, Kelsey, bye."
She gave Kelsey a kiss, and they left.

"Do you like her school? It took me months to find. I tried to find one that you would approve of."
"Booth, I think it is perfect. I'm glad that she has the opportunity to attend classes with the higher-grade levels, and the class has enough structure to keep her organized. I also like the reading opportunities that the Book Nook provides."
"I'm glad you like it, I was worried that you wouldn't approve. I tried so hard to do things right while you were away."
As they arrived at the car, he opened her door, and she turned to him.
"Booth I don't think you could do things wrong. You are a good man, and I know that everything you do, you do it out of love for those around you."
She leaned in and lightly kissed him.
"Thank you for being you."
She turned and climbed into the car.
Booth walked around the other side of the car, and climbed in, still shocked at the kiss. He knew she was growing closer to both him and Kelsey, he hoped the memories would return soon, because he wanted her to realize just what they had.

When they arrived at the Jeffersonian, Angela was there waiting for them.
"Brennan, hi, I'm glad you came today."
"Ken is still looking for me, so this is the best place to be at the moment. Besides maybe it will help me remember."
"Well, we are going to spend the day together, and I brought pictures and videos to watch. We will get those memories back, I know it."
"Well, I hope so, sometimes I feel so lost, like the world is moving on without me."
Booth pulled her close.
"You'll remember Bones. I know it; look how far you came already."
"This is my last week on the medication, so maybe you're right."
Booth stayed for an hour, until Brennan was comfortable without him, then he left for work, promising to be back for lunch.
As he walked out of the building, he remembered that day over three years ago when he went to meet her, only to find out she was gone. He hesitated, wanting to go back and keep her close to him, but he had to let her go, and he knew the team would watch over her. He climbed into his truck and drove to work.

"Ok Sweetie, tell me about the weekend. Did you sleep with Booth?"
Brennan just looked at Angela, shocked by the question.
"What? Why would I tell you that?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, we always talk about everything. We're best friends, but I forgot you don't remember that do you?"
"No, I don't, but just so you know, I am not sleeping with Booth."
"Why?"
"He is the perfect gentleman. He hasn't even made any advances on me. We live in the same house, but he rarely touches me."
"Oh Sweetie, I'm sorry. Do you want to sleep with him?"
"Well although sleeping with him would be nice, I think I would like to have intercourse with him first. I wish I could remember what it was like. With just a kiss he lights me on fire, I can imagine what he's like in bed."
"According to you he is fabulous."
"I told you?" Brennan's cheeks started to heat.
"Oh yes, we have discussed it many times. You never provide details, but you have told me many times that making love with him is very satisfying. Let's go in my office so we can talk, the rest of the team will be here soon, and although they know not to disturb you, I'm sure they will want to say hi. We can hide better in there."
They went to the office still talking about their friendship. They were alone for an hour before the rest of the team showed up.
