Chapter 7


"So here is what we do. We set up everything like that date you had. You meet him for a walk, which won't be in Central Park of course, but you walk through that area around the corner from your house, that would be cute. Then we set everything up like it was that night. Have the food you guys had and play the music you played. He will remember I'm sure. And then you can be happily ever after."

"I don't know Ange, do I want to be happily ever after. What if he doesn't care."

"Sweetie, its Booth. Of course he will care."

"Okay, where should we start?"

"Shopping of course. We need to get you an outfit that is to die for and everything to make dinner."

Brennan rolled her eyes What have I gotten myself in to?

Angela looked down at her watch "It is still early. I am going to go back home to take a nap and let Jack know everything is okay. We can go after work. Is that okay sweetie?"

"Sounds like a plan."

"Are you going to be okay?" Angela asked with a concerned look on her face.

"Yeah Ange, I think I am going to be fine."

Angela left and Brennan sat there not knowing if this was a wise idea or not. She didn't really know if she should just be direct with Booth or what. She looked at the clock on her bedside table it wasn't even 6:00 yet but knew that there was no way she was going to get anymore sleep.

She got up and took a quick shower and decided to go to work early. She normally didn't go in till 8 but after taking the past 3 days off she really needed to go in to get some work done.

She grabbed a muffin and a cup of coffee on the way to work and then settled in for a long day. She was anxious to get everything and be ready for her dinner with Booth. Since it was Friday she thought that tonight was a perfect time. If Booth turned her down then they could have some time to sort things out before going back to work on Monday and if he wanted to be with her too she thought they would need a few days for other things.

She walked into her office and began going through the paper work she had neglected during her leave. Her entire morning was spent replying to emails or finishing up some reports she needed to get turned in. Before she knew it it was noon and she heard a knock on her door.

"Hey Bones."

"Booth."

"How's my favorite anthropologist today?"

"Just catching up on some work. Do we have a case?" She said with enthusiasm.

"Nope, just need your signature on a few files. I can just leave them and come by to pick them up after work if you want."

"Oh no, that's okay. I can sign them now."

"Oh okay." Booth told her trying to cover the disappointment in his voice. Truth was he wanted to come back to see her after work.

"Well maybe we could grab some take out later then?"

"I have plans later. I'm sorry Booth." She thought about her conversation with Angela.

"Oh okay, well have fun." He picked up the files she handed back to him. "Thanks."

"Sure." She said with a smile as Booth turned to leave. "Booth?"

"Yeah Bones?"

"I should be finished early if you want to call me or something."

"Yeah sure, I'll see what I can do." Booth left with a hint of a smile on his face. Surely her plans aren't with someone else or she wouldn't say she would be finished early.

"Was that Booth?" Angela said with a grin on her face.

"Yes."

"And?"

"And what Ange?"

"What was he here for?"

"He brought by some papers for me to sign."

"Oh, that's all?"

"Well, he asked if I wanted to grab a bite to eat later but I told him I had plans."

"He did look a little sad when he left. But I know you will make it up to him. Are you just going to call him once we get things set up?"

"That's what I thought, that way he wasn't all wondering what was going on."

"Good idea. Are you almost finished here? Maybe we could go get lunch and discuss what all we need to get."

"Give me like ten minutes and I will be done."

"Okay, I will go grab my purse."

Angela and Brennan ate lunch and had everything planned out for the evening. They had a list of everything they needed and Brennan was extremely anxious.

The end of the day didn't come soon enough and Angela and Brennan took off a little early to go get the things they needed. After 2 hours at the mall and Angela fighting with Brennan about what dress she should wear, they had everything they needed and took off to her apartment.

They had just finished setting everything up when a knock came from the door. Brennan walked over to answer it and was in shock at who stood there.

"Tempe!" The lady at the door swept Brennan into her arms and gave her a big hug.

Brennan stepped back and smiled at the couple before her "Maggie, Roger! Hey guys." She gave them both another hug and moved to let them come into her home.

"I am sorry we didn't call. I was worried about you on the phone so we just had to come see you." Maggie then saw the candles on the table "But we must have come at a bad time. I am so sorry Temp."

"Oh no, it's fine. I was going to have a friend over for dinner but it can wait. I am so glad you are here." She then turned to Angela. "This is my friend Angela, we work together at the Jeffersonian. She was helping me set everything up."

"Yes, I think you have told me about her." Maggie turned to Angela "You are an artist right?"

"Yep, that's me." Angela said with a smile as she shook Maggie and Roger's hands.

"Where are the girls?" Temperance questioned.

"They are with my mother. They had already planned on staying with her this weekend and after hearing from you I just had to come see you."

"Well I am glad you did."

"How about we change clothes and then we can go out to eat. We won't be back till much later tonight. That will give you time to keep your dinner plans Tempe."

"Oh well I can postpone them."

"Don't be ridiculous. We haven't gone out in ages and I would love to take my wife dancing." Roger chimed in as he put his arm around Maggie.

"So it's settled. Do you mind if we get cleaned up and change clothes here Tempe?"

"No not at all, make yourself at home."

"Well, we will hurry. We don't want to interrupt." She said with a smile.

"I just have to go get something I forgot. I will be back in about twenty minutes. You remember your way around the place? Just put your bags in the guest bedroom."

"Of course." The couple smiled and then took off towards the back bedroom.

"Well that throws a wrench in the plans." Angela says with a frown.

"What does that have to do with a wrench?" Brennan asked in confusion.

"No sweetie, I mean that that messes up your plans."

"It will be fine I am sure. I can still call Booth over once they go and everything will work out." She said with a smile on her face.

"What did you forget anyway? We got everything you needed."

"We didn't get wine. And we have beer but I think wine is a little better."

"Of course, how could I miss that? I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it! I usually have a bottle but I finished it off the past couple days." Brennan said with a laugh.

"Okay, well you better get going so you can come back and get dressed. Call me and let me know how it turns out." Angela said with a smile.

"Of course. Thanks Ange."

"Anytime sweetie." Angela pulled Brennan into a hug and then turned to leave the apartment.


Booth thought as he looked at his watch. He went to get takeout from Wong Fu's and then hurried to Brennan's apartment.

He knocked on the door and waited for her to answer. He was very distraught when the door swung open to reveal a man who was buttoning up his shirt. The man had wet hair and Booth could tell he had just gotten out of the shower.

Booth stood frozen in the doorway.

"Hi." The man said as he looked at Booth.

Booth couldn't form words as part of his world came crashing down. He heard a muffled voice calling from the other room "Honey, who is it?"

"I'm not sure." The man yelled back as he turned back towards Booth "I'm Roger." He stuck his hand out to shake Booth's.

Booth realized what was happening and was brought back to reality "Um hi, I work with Bo, Temperance. I didn't mean to interrupt. I will just talk to her later." He turned to leave.

"Wait, do you want me to tell her you stopped by um…" Roger asked looking for a name.

"No, don't worry about it. It can wait till Monday." Booth turned and walked out the door feeling as if his heart had been crushed. I guess I know what plans she had this weekend.
