Disclaimer: I don't own Bones or House.

Author's Note: Want to thank my wonderful beta and reviewers as usual. This chapter is short, probably the shortest chapter of all the chapter I had uploaded till this point. I am currently almost done with Chapter 8, aren't you excited about it? Oh, and about the year thing...Hous and Allison had been together for 2 years, and I had started their part 2 years after House got shot. Bones, however starts about maybe a month or so after the discovery of Brennan's mom. Just want to clear this part up. Now, enjoy! (Sorry, had to replace this chapter because I forgot to take a note out...sorry)

Chapter 7

The ballroom was elegant, yet not ornamented with too much decoration. The surroundings were decorated with pink and white flowers, and the road in between the chairs was covered with a white carpet. It was just perfect, at least to Brennan. She really loved the decorations.

"And now I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." The priest said. House leaned in and kissed Allison.

The crowd started to clap. The couple began to walk back down the aisle, away from the altar.

Booth was surprised that Greg decided to have a church wedding. He always had the idea that doctors don't have a religion because of what they went through all day long, but it was probably because of Greg's parents, who were devoted Catholics. He had never seen Greg this happy in his whole life; he was actually smiling widely as he was walking. Greg always gave people the impression of being a grumpy one, even before his infarction.

When I get married, I am just going to have these kinds of simple decorations…Brennan thought. That is if I get married…she mentally corrected herself. Her working hours were a problem to let her have normal relationships with people. Also, she was considered a freak. She looked at dead bodies for her job; most people would have freaked out at the mention of that. Nobody would want to have a relationship with a workaholic that look at dead bodies' bones. She…or were all the reasons she had been telling herself so far just an action of trying to protect herself from getting hurt again?

"I hate psychology." She said it out loud in a whisper, causing Booth to look at her.

"What? This is a wedding, Bones. I don't think it can relate to psychology. Unless you are suggesting something else…"

People started to move out of the room to enter to the ballroom to have reception. Brennan stood up, trying to follow, but Booth grabbed her by her hand.

"You still haven't answered me." Booth said, looking at her, trying to figure out what happened.

Brennan sighed. "Nothing you need to worry about, Booth. Now can I go?"

"Not a good answer." Booth shook his head, still not letting go of Brennan's hand.

"Booth, you can't possibly expect me to tell you what is on my mind, right?"

"Sure I can. We are partners. We don't hide secrets from each other."

"Booth," Brennan let out a laugh, "We hide secrets from each other all the time. You may not have realized it, but that's what humans do."

"And I thought you hate psychology here."

"This is not psychology. It's a human behavior. It's…" Booth cut her off.

"What kind of secrets did I hide it from you?"

Brennan thought awhile before she answered, "Tessa. You didn't tell me you broke up with her."

"And you didn't tell me you met this guy online either."

"I told you!" Brennan argued back.

"Hey, if you weren't almost shot, or if you didn't mention it in front of the squints, I wasn't going to find out. And Tessa, it was a long time ago; it happened when I was having the vacation, that's why I didn't mention it to you. I didn't know that you would want to know. I never figured that you were one of those gossip women."

Brennan looked a bit guilty. And Booth realized that he went over the line.

"Bones, listen, I am sorry, I was out of…"

"No, what you said was true. I wasn't going to tell you about David, I never even thought I was going to tell you. You had the right not to tell me about Tessa either."

"Bones, look…"

"We just work together, we are partners. We don't talk about our personal lives." Brennan tried to stand up again, but Booth pulled her back into her seat. At that moment, the room seemed enormous now that everybody had gone to the other side of the room, having fun.

"Bones, we are much more that partners. Yes, we started out as partners…but I think we are more than that. We are friends, and friends tell friends things. I am sorry that I didn't tell you about Tessa." Booth apologized.

Brennan considered for a while, and replied, "I am sorry about David too."

"So, you and this David still going out?" Booth tried to ask it casually, trying not to sound jealous. The moment he said this, he knew that his eyes betrayed him. But Brennan didn't notice it.

"Well, no. We broke up. I don't have the time to start a serious relationship because of my work. Plus, he kinda got tired of my job." Brennan gave out a sad smile.

"Bones, I am sure that one day you will find a man that can fit into your schedule, and respect your job." Booth told her. "Come on; let's go to the reception room so we can grab something to eat. I am starving." With that, Booth stood up and led Brennan to the reception room, still holding her hand.
