**Disclaimer: I do not own anything with BONES or any songs in my stories. I just love Booth and Bones love story. **

Writer's Note: I started writing this chapter and it has turned into a really long one so I broke it up into 2 chapters. If there is anyone out there that is a beta and would like to help me make my chapters better or teach me how to tell more with saying less. Please message me. I would want my chapters as enjoyable for my readers as I can. Part 2 will either be posted later on tonight or tomorrow. I am still transferring it to Word. I hand write all my chapters before typing it into Word. Thanks in advance and enjoy part 1.

The weekend was over and it was just another Monday for Bones but for everyone else, it was Valentine's Day.

Since Booth woke up Monday morning he had a perma-grin. He had such a great weekend he couldn't stop himself from smiling. Even though they weren't going to spend Valentine's Day the way typical couples do. They weren't the typical couple so why should they start being typical now. Booth was also happy that there wasn't the stress of the holiday like in his past relationships but he did have a little something up his sleeve before their nice quiet dinner at home.

While driving to the lab, Booth still had the goofy smile on his face. Bones finally asked him, "What is wrong with you? Do you have gas?"

"No Bones. Can't a man just be happy after having a fantastic weekend?"

"I concur this weekend was very pleasurable. I learned a lot. I have to say, hockey is much more enjoyable when you are playing though."

"Thanks Bones. It was nice for once to share good things with you from my childhood. You know showing you around Philly and my happier memories of my childhood."

Bones interlocked her fingers with his free hand that was resting on the console. There was no need for any addition words to be spoken. They drove the rest of the way to the Jeffersonian in silence. They arrived to the Jeffersonian and Booth parked the SUV out front like always.

"Happy Monday Bones" He laughed looking deeply into her eyes.

"Booth, I know what you have been wanting to say all morning. So go ahead." She stroked his knuckles and gazed deeply into his eyes as well.

"Happy Valentine's Day Bones"

"Happy Valentine's Day" Booth leaned in for a kiss after she spoke those three little words.

They withdrew from their kiss. "Booth, why don't you stay at the Jeffersonian today? It would be better than being at the Hoover. Ms. Wick isn't on the rotation, so she probably would be at the Hoover with Sweets. No one needs to see her Monday underwear. At the Jeffersonian there's no chance of seeing that." She giggled.

"The only person's underwear I want to see is yours." Placing a stray hair behind her ear, "I wouldn't mind spending time with you and the Squint Squad."

"Ok. Good. Why don't you go pick up coffee and some pastries for all of us?" Bones got half way out of the SUV and handed Booth the money for the coffee and the pastries. "See you in a bit."

"I love you Bones"

"I know you do." She smiled and her blue eyes sparkled. She closed the door and mouthed "I love you too", turned and headed inside.

She had her own little Monday surprise for him, alright Valentine's Day surprise. Bones was in her office while waiting for Booth to return. Her office still had her six beautiful bouquets though the older ones were starting to wilt. While in her office, Bones removed her ring that she has been hiding from her fellow colleagues, ok mostly just hiding it from Angela for the last month and a half and placed it on her right hand middle finger. Then she put the chain back around her neck but not under her collar.

Bones headed out to the platform to converse with her colleagues and waited for Booth there so she could unveil her "present".

Angela was on the platform when Bones swiped her card to enter. "Hi, Ange," keeping her right hand in her pocket for now. "How was your pre-Valentine's weekend at the Hodgins' estate guest house?"

"Oh Sweetie it was wonderful. Hodgins pampered me all weekend."

"You engaged in sexual intercourse all weekend?"

"No Bren, that isn't what I meant. Jack brought in a masseuse. It was very relaxing. It was like being at a spa, but Hodgin brought the spa to me. It was great. So how was yours' and Agent Studly's non Valentine's day weekend in Philly? Angela laughed.

"Our weekend as well was very enjoyable. Booth showed me around Philly on Saturday and Sunday we watched the hockey game. Booth taught me about the sport but I find that I like it more when I am watching him play."

"You two still aren't doing anything tonight?"

"Ange, we are still just going to have a nice quiet dinner at home and spending the day together. I told him it would probably be safer to spend his time here since Ms. Wick is not on rotation today, so more than likely she would be at the FBI building with Sweets."

"That is a wise choice. They can be annoyingly sugary at times." Angela said as she noticed Booth heading to the platform with his hands full of coffee and delicious smelling sweet treats.

"Booth!" She hurried to assist Booth grabbing the pastries from him almost making him lose the coffees, swiping her card so he didn't have to try to. Taking the pastries from Booth she took all of them directly to her workstation.

"And good morning to you to Ange"

"Sorry, but I. I mean the baby wants donuts." Booth laughed and placed the coffees on Hodgins' workstation.

Bones moved toward Booth. When he turned around with his and her coffee in hand, before taking her coffee, she brought her left hand to her neck wear the chain was out in the open, with no ring on it. She wiggled the right side fingers that were visible from her pants' pocket. The biggest smile came across Booth's face. He was ecstatic. Bones returned the smile and their eyes locked. Their silent conversation after that Booth knew that Angela hadn't seen the ring yet.

"I'll be right back. I have to call Hacker to let him know I will be over here today. Bones, do you mind if I use your office?"

"No, go right ahead. I'll call Cam, Hodgins, and Clark to inform them about the coffee and the pastries."

"Ok," he handed Bones' her coffee and gave her a quick peck. Angela's attention was still on the box of sweet confections that she had in front of her that she didn't even notice the exchange between the partners.

Bones took a sip from her coffee and watched as her partner enter her office, closed the blinds and then the door. She then placed her coffee down at her workstation and proceeded to call the others.

Booth picked up Bones' phone and dialed Hacker's extension.

"Temperance?"

"No Sir. This is Special Agent Booth. Assistant Director Hacker I'll be staying here at the Jeffersonian today," rolling his eyes while talking to Hacker. He so hated talking to Hacker especially since he still had the hots for Bones.

"So Temperance won't be visiting here today?"

"No Sir. I don't see that happening."

The sound of disappointment in Hacker's voice, "Oh alright Agent Booth, tell Temperance hello and Happy Valentine's Day."

Booth cringed at the fact. He felt like being all alpha male as Bones likes to call him when he gets all protective of his Bones and telling Hacker to back off but since Hacker wasn't aware that he and Bones were an exclusive couple. Booth didn't want to blow it. "Not a problem Assistant Director. I will pass that message along." Booth swallowed hard to get over his disgust. "Good-bye Sir," and with that Booth hung up the phone.

After getting off the phone with Hacker, Booth's blood was boiling but that didn't matter now he was going to spend all day with his Bones. Before returning back to the platform, he removed his ring from his chain and put it on his left hand middle finger. It felt so right being able to show off the ring finally. That Bones decided that today of all days to do it was the best Valentine's Day gift he could ever ask for.

So like her he put the chain back around his neck over his collar and stuck his left hand in his jacket pocket. Just before leaving her office, he glanced around looking at all the flowers that he had got her, the aroma of daisies and daffodils filling his senses. He turned to leave her office, he noticed all the cards from the prior week and a day and the overwhelming feeling of love and happiness filled his heart. He knew Bones loved him as much as he loved her but he never thought though in a million years that she would put it on display for all to see. His heart swelled.

The smile from the morning had returned, it had left only briefly when he had to speak with Hacker. He knew that she was the alpha female as much as he was the alpha male. She was making it perfectly clear that he was hers. He should have really realized that when she showed off the hickeys to everyone. He laughed at the memory and headed out of her office to return to the platform where his coffee and more importantly his alpha female awaited.
