Author's note: Sorry this one took so long. Can't wait til Wednesday for the season finale! Enjoy.

Staying home due to the advice of her doctor and orders of Booth, Tempe was lounging on her couch with a hand in a box of Girl Scout cookies watching the afternoon "stories". She yawned as one of the characters threw a slap at the other complaining about how she stole her boyfriend. Temperance rubbed her hand on her yoga pants and looked at the clock. It was 1:26 Booth was due home in a couple of hours and she found herself missing his company. Even though their relationship was much different from what she remembered she was slowly warming up to the idea of them being together. Taking the elastic around her wrist she pulled her hair into a high ponytail and turned her head towards the direction of the door as she heard keys being jingled about. A few seconds later Booth came striding into the room loosening his tie and smiling at Tempe.

"Hey babe." He said dropping a kiss on her cheek.

"Good afternoon." Tempe answered her cheek still warm from his kiss. "You sound chippy."

He plopped himself down on the couch next to her and laid his head back. "I am. I left work a little earlier than normal to spend some time with you." He put a hand on her thigh and rubbed it.

"Oh." Tempe said taking his hand from her thigh and lacing her fingers with his instead.

"Do you want to do something? Grab some lunch, see a movie?"

"No thanks. We could just stay here and watch some TV?" Tempe suggested. Booth nodded and brought her hand to his mouth and kissed it. Sensing her discomfort he dropped her hand and began to loosen the buttons of his shirt. Tempe couldn't help but feel bad. Booth wanted to be intimate with her and just show her how much he loved her and she couldn't even give him that. She looked over at him again and her eyes were drawn to the sexy scrap of skin shown through the opening of his oxford. His handsome features were focused on the TV but she could tell that he wasn't really watching the program. He was hurt.

"Booth?" she called instantly getting his attention.

"Yeah?"

"Maybe we could cuddle?" she said hesitantly not sure if she was using the right word. A small smile broke out across his face and he tilted his head slightly in his direction. Tempe moved over snuggling into the crook of his arm. Booth dropped a kiss to her head breathing in her intoxicating scent. Her hand snaked into the opening of his shirt, her palm flat against his chest. She sighed a little and began to move it in a circular pattern.

"Bones." He called his voice a little tense.

"Yes?"

"Would it be to forward of me if I told you that you were turning me on?" he asked as her movements stilled. Tempe was silent for a few seconds before answering.

"No."

"Okay." He replied in a husky tone as she continued the motion. "You tease." He laughed.

"I'm your tease right?" she asked turning her head up to him. Booth looked into her crystal blue eyes, the color he had become so accustomed to, and kissed her lips. Softly at first, afraid of how what her reaction would be, but she responded moaning into his mouth. He drew her closer deepening the kiss as her arms moved around his neck.

"Booth." Tempe sighed as she moved onto his lap. The kisses were slow and hot. Booth's mouth lavished hers with the languid stokes of his tongue. Realizing what they were doing Tempe brought a hand to his chest pushing him back lightly.

"Wait, Booth." She said touching her wet swollen lips.

"I'm sorry." He apologized for the umpteenth time.

"Stop apologizing Booth. It's driving me crazy." She said softly.

"Well I'm sorry Tempe but I feel like I'm walking on eggshells anytime you're around. I want to touch my wife tell her how much I love her but you don't want to hear that. It scares you and I don't know what to do." She stood up with a hand on her belly.

"This is just going to have to take some time. I woke up to find that I have a husband, two kids, and a third one on the way. That takes time to adjust to."

Booth sighed and nodded. "You're right I'm-"

"Don't finish that sentence." Tempe interrupted.

"Okay." Booth laughed and pulled her back to him. "Let's just watch some more TV." He suggested. Booth laced their fingers together. Temperance looked down as the sun caught the diamond engagement ring. She moved it about admiring the way it glistened…

"That's a really pretty ring!" Lila exclaimed as she sat in her mother's lap and played with her ring finger.

"Thank you sweetie, it was a gift from your father."

"He did good." Lila nodded resting back on her mother. Tempe laughed and kissed the side of her head. She looked out onto the field and watched Seeley and Adam play in the Father/Son Soccer Tournament. Seeley sprinted after the ball running with the speed of an excited kid. Tempe watched the way his well-defined legs flexed as he moved. A flicker of pride filled her knowing that it was "her hottie of a husband", as Angela liked to say, on the field.

"Oh my god. That Seeley Booth, is the hottest thing to ever attend these stupid events." A woman across the bleachers from Tempe said. Her eyes followed the sound of the woman's giggling and sure enough found the source of those comments. It belonged to Cherri Peters, the Eddie Britt of the neighborhood. She had long bleached blonde hair and was wearing tight jeans that accentuated her body. Her long sleeve shirt scooped below to show off the tops of her breasts. Cherri was the type of woman Booth might have slept with had they not been married or even if he could get the chance. Tempe quickly chided herself from thinking such thoughts. Seeley was faithful and would never do that to her.

"Look at the way he fills out his shorts." She whispered to another mom as the two continued to giggle.

"Adam just scored!" Lila pumped her fists into the air and jumping up and down on her mothers lap. Tempe turned her attention to the field and watched Adam run around with his arms out at his side stimulating the motion of an airplane. She smiled as Seeley swung him over his shoulders and began to run about. The ref signaled the ending of the game and the teams came running off the field. Lila hopped of off Tempe's lap and sped after her father. Seeley lifted her into his arms and kissed her cheek, she then bent down to grab a hold of her brother giving him a kiss also. Tempe stood up as they walked over to her and she ruffled Adam's hair.

"Great goal Adam." She said giving him a hug.

"Not here mom!" Adam hissed trying to keep his cool.

"Oh right." Tempe laughed rolling her eyes. She looked to Seeley his eyes shining happily.

"What about me?" He asked.

"You did alright."

"Just alright?"

"Oh gosh their gonna kiss!" Adam scoffed as Lila wiggled from Seeley's grasp. "Let's make a run for it!" he took Lila's hand and the two darted for the car.

"I think they're right." Tempe raised her eyebrows as he took a step closer. "I'm gonna kiss you." He looped his arm around her waist and brought his lips down to hers. He was sweaty, and smelled like grass, which was surprisingly intoxicating to her. His tongue darted out, demanding entry into her mouth with she willingly obliged. Their tongues dueled for a bit until she moved back brushing some flyaway pieces of hair out of her face.

"Mmm Seeley." She sighed as her eye lashes fluttered open.

"Come on." He put his arm around her and began to lead her to the car. Tempe put her arm around his waist and smiled happily, staking her claim on her man.

"Tempe," Booth shook her slightly trying to get her attention.

"What?" she asked blinking rapidly.

"What just happened there? You blanked out for a few seconds."

"These memories are like flashbacks." She answered.

"You had another memory?" he asked excitedly.

"Yeah I did."

"What happened?" he pressed rubbing her hand encouragingly.

"I, we, were at a soccer game with Adam and Lila. I overheard some women talking about you. Who's Cherri Peters?"
