Back to Work

Chapter 4

The next three days passed without incident. Surprisingly Gordon Gordon had kept his distance and the duo seemed to be fighting more the closer it got to their wedding.

Three days left till they were once again husband and wife and neither were sure if they could actually stop fighting long enough to walk down the isle.

"You always jump to conclusions Booth. We go through this with every case; there is no such thing as a gut feeling."

"You are to literal Bones. Sometimes you just need to follow what feels right."

The fact that they had an audience had escaped each of then until the door to her office suddenly slammed creating a loud bang that brought the lovers out of their heated argument.

Both turned to face none other than Gordon Gordon smiling at the two of them.

"Hello." He grinned.

Booth and Temperance both looked ashamed at their being caught in such an argument and both mumbled a barely audible "Hello."

"Well it is obvious to see what the problem is now."

They shot each other questioning looks and then looked towards Gordon Gordon. "You know what our problem is?" Booth asked.

"Of course, quite simple really. I am quite surprised the two of you haven't seen it yet yourselves."

"Well do you care to share so that we can fix it?" Temperance asserted a little more harshly than she had intended.

"Ahh yes, well you see, the two of you are over compensating at work. You are terrified that someone will see the two of you not fighting and that they will assume it is because you are partners at home as well as work. You think that if you keep fighting or finding reasons to fight about the no one will notice that you are acting differently and you can stay together as partners. In actuality what you are doing is fighting more and driving everyone crazy. When I was at your house the other morning you acted kind and loving. You had an incident arise where Dr. Brennan asserted herself but you didn't fight back Agent Booth because you were in your comfort zone. You can act like you want at home without the watchful of those surrounding you at work."

"So you are saying we are fighting more because we want to keep work and home separate?"

"Preciously Dr. Brennan."

"That makes sense." Booth nodded in agreement.

"Very good then. If you need anything else please let me know." Dr. Wyatt turned to leave.

"Will you be at the wedding Saturday?" Booth asked.

"I wouldn't miss it. It was very lovely to see you again Dr. Brennan, Agent Booth." Gordon Gordon nodded his head and walked out of the room.

"So that's it?"

"That's what he said."

"Yeah, I guess I have been trying to find reasons to make an argument."

"Why Bones, that's not very logical. I guess it really was your fault." He chuckled.

"Our fault Booth. He never directly laid the blame on me."

"Ah yes, but he implied."

"He did not."

"Okay, okay. It was both of our fault." Booth held him his hands in surrender "No more fighting okay?"

"Okay." Brennan walked up to Booth and left a chased kiss on his lips. "Let's get back to work."

"Not just yet." Booth turned to walk to the door of Brennan's office. He then closed the blinds and the door and walked back over to her pulling her into a much more passionate kiss.

Brennan pulled back after what seemed like an eternity "I thought we were going to keep work and personal separate."

"We are." Booth looked at his watch "It's 12:15. That's lunch time. Lunch time is our own personal time to do with as we please."

"Oh, well if you put it that way." She giggled and fell back into a smoldering kiss as she pulled Booth down onto her sofa.

The lunch hour was over before the two came up for breath and they realized it was now time for work. Booth reluctantly stood up as he pulled Temperance to her feet.

"Guess it is time to get back to work."

"Yeah, but don't worry babe. Next week we will be sitting on the beach drinking margaritas and won't have to worry who sees our displays of affection."

Temperance just nodded "I can't wait and I have been thinking."

"About what?"

"No don't get a big head or anything and I realize that this is against everything I believe in but so was marriage and look at where I am."

"So what are you saying Bones?"

"I want to take your last name."

Booth gave her his charm smile as a slight laugh escaped his lips.

"Are you laughing at me Booth?"

"Of course not Bones. I am just happy. I think that is the best thing you have ever done for me. Just wait till we get home tonight and I will properly thank you."

Temperance laughed "I can't wait. But for now, back to work."

Booth sighed as he followed her out to the platform.
