Chapter 7

Booth and Brennan have been officially a couple for three months now and to Booth's delight they were great at it, just he always knew they would, sure they bickered just like before and solved cases, to his annoyance but not so much surprise, Bones wouldn't take it slow, pregnant or not, she was still working extremely hard. Even though the pregnancy was going smoothly, Booth was still worried every time she was near dead bodies, chemicals or suspects, only 6 more months to go, he was telling himself.

They already had their first big fight, which resulted in them not speaking for almost a day, but in the end they both felt terrible about it and made up fairly quickly, their two separate lives were slowly morphing into one common and Booth was fighting really hard his urge to propose to Bones. He wanted to marry her, he wanted to make it official to the world, but he wouldn't do it. Bones made it perfectly clear over the years that marriage wasn't her thing and he had to accept it, he can't wrack this relationship, he just can't and if marriage was off the table, he will accept it, maybe someday she will change her mind, but for today them being together was enough.

Although, with the baby growing rapidly, Booth was now thinking they really should get a place together, for now they decided to split time between their apartments, but soon Bones will become visibly pregnant and less mobile, so he really needed to find a way to approach this delicate question. He knew Bones very well, she loved her independence and freedom and if he pushes too hard, she will push back. He just needed to wait until the perfect moment. God, waiting was hard for Booth, he was the man of action, but being with Bones required a lot of patience on this kind of matters.

They just finished another case and now were sitting on the glass balcony celebrating a little, all of them together. Booth and Bones decided it was a perfect opportunity to announce their news. For the time being only Angela knew that they were expecting a child together, even Hodgins was left out of it given how he reacted to them becoming a couple.

'It was a good case,' smiled Hodgins taking a sip of his coffee.

'Good? The guy was dismembered and scattered across the sewage, bug boy,' winced Booth, he will never get used to the squints being so happy about all the squishy stuff.

'Yeah, I know, but come on, Booth, how cool was the environment, I found so many organisms at one place…'

'Yeah, yeah, I know, you love disgusting things, let's move on.'

'How is Michael Vincent doing, Angela?' asked Cam.

'Great and I do love him to pieces, but he really hates sleep and I am pretty sure me and Hodgins will soon inject coffee directly into our systems.'

'That is extremely dangerous, Angela! You could severe your arteries beyond repair,' Bones of course took Angela's little joke literally.

'It was a joke, sweetie,' smiled Angela.

'Oh, yes, of course,' Bones glanced at Booth and he gave her a small nod, now was the perfect time to announce their news. 'Speaking of the child bearing. As you know Booth and I are now sexual partners,' Booth couldn't help but facepalmed while everybody else exchanged small smirks. 'And as a result, a natural conception occurred.'

Booth hugged Bones' waist, despite her cringy delivery, he was way too happy to care at the moment. The faces of their friends slowly changed from curiosity to realization of what Bones just said.

'Wait a second,' blinked Sweets, Angela was beaming happily taking Hodgins' hand in order to prevent him jumping around or saying something over the board. 'Are you saying you are pregnant, Dr Brennan?'

'Yes, Sweets, this is a definition of conception.'

'What Bones is trying to say, that yes, she is pregnant and we are very happy about it and although we are glad to share it with our friends, don't make a big deal out of it,' said Booth giving the warning glance to their friends.

'But it is a big deal!' said Cam, Sweets and Hodgins at the same time. Hodgins looked at smirking Angela.

'Did you know about this?'

'Hey, it's your fault, if you knew how to react to this kind of things, I would have told you.'

'Anyway, we just wanted you to inform you, since I have already entered the second trimester, so I am experiencing changes in my body, such as a weight gain, breasts swelling, nausea and of course, I would need a maternity leave after the delivery, but I am sure we can discuss it later, Dr Saroyan.'

'Wait a second,' beamed Hodgins, clearly, he had something to say about it, Booth was really tempted to shoot something right now. 'You are three months pregnant?'

'That is correct.'

Sweets, Hodgins and Cam smirked and Booth was really hoping for an artificial clown right now.

'Way to go, Booth,' smiled Hodgins a little. 'That's why the call you a sniper, I guess.'

'They call me a sniper, because I was a sniper and don't you forget about that, bug boy.'

'Why did Dr Hodgins bring up your military past?' asked Booth and Angela and Cam broke into small giggles.

'I think what Dr Hodgins meant is that…' began Sweets and Booth knew it was time to cut this little party.

'Hey, hey, can we just stop please? Maybe you know, just say that you are happy for us, like normal people do!'

After all the congratulations and a couple of more small talks, the majority of the gang left home. Bones still had some paperwork to do and Booth decided to wait for her in the office. He liked her office very much, it was very her. A lot of books, artifacts, cozy little couch…He glanced at his watch, it was after 10 and Bones was still working, although she did promise to finish soon. While looking at her a mischievous thought crossed his mind, he sprang to the door and closed it, in case a guard or some intern would stumble at her office, the blinds were shut and Booth loosened his tie a little, he noticed that it was Bones' small weakness. She was so lost in her work that didn't see his manipulations, before she noticed Booth was already behind her planting small kisses to her shoulder and neck, his hand was slowly moving from her arm to her thigh.

'What are you doing, Booth?' she asked him as if waking up.

'I think it's pretty clear what I am doing,' he smiled into her hair and inhaled her fruity perfume, God, this woman was driving him crazy.

'But we are at work and this is my office,' she protested slightly. Booth knew she wasn't really mad, because if she were, she would definitely slap away his hand which was now massaging one of her breasts, she wasn't kidding they were getting bigger.

'It's late and…' he turned her chair and his face was now dangerously close to hers, he could feel himself getting hard, her eyes were sparkling and faint flush on her cheeks were enough to make him all eager. 'Bones, do you have any idea how many times I fantasized about us, here, in your office?'

Bones smiled and turned off her computer screen, something inside of him growled, if she turned off the computer it meant he had her full attention. She kissed him possessively and without hesitation, her tongue was now in his mouth and he was now busy with taking his shirt off. She broke a kiss and raised to her feet, helping him out of his tie and shirt. She opened a few of upper buttons of her turquoise blowse and Booth then helped her with the rest.

'I know exactly what you mean, Booth, I must admit I had a few fantasies of my own,' she nibbled his ear and all the coherent thoughts disappeared from Booth's mind. She was now palming him gently and all he could concentrate on is taking off his and her pants and take her right here and there. But, of course, she wouldn't just let him. He helped her out of her cloth and she was now standing there in her turquoise blowse and black underwear, her hair was all disheveled and she looked at him with lust and desire, she was breathtaking. He really needed to get rid of his pants, but before he could reach his cocky belt buckle, her hands were on it, now she was helping him out of his cloth.

If his mind wasn't so concentrated on Brennan kneeling in front of him, he would have remembered how about two years ago, when the poor Santa got blown up and he was all covered in evidence, Bones did the exact same thing, stripped him off right there in Jeffersonian. Back then she was all professional and even though he really hoped she might change her mind, he knew that she wasn't thinking about having sex with him that day. But, oh boy, he was tormented when he came back home, his mind was racing with the image of Bones taking off his underwear and taking him in her mouth, it was simply impossible to think about anything else that day. But right now, he had a real thing happening, she was working him for real, in her office and he thought he was about to pass out from the pleasure. He was now moaning, not caring how I made him look, he gave up it a long time ago, Bones was his greatest weakness and his greatest strength, it was something he accepted and reveled in. She wouldn't let him finish, though, she was not going away without getting something in return. She stood up taking off her underwear and took his hand guiding him to the couch. He didn't mind one bit, he was now kissing her feverishly, sliding in and out, again and again and it was fantastic, he was rubbing her so she would feel all the pleasure right with him, now it was her turn to moan and he couldn't help himself but grin happily. He was so close now, but he needed her to get there first, so he applied some more pressure until he felt her coming undone, clutching him tightly, one, two, three…

'Temperance,' was all he said and he was gone too, buried deep inside of her. She was stroking his broad back now, while he was breathing heavily. They have been together for three months now, but still no fantasy he ever had about them could compare to the reality. It was so worth waiting for.
