"Booth, I am still a little nervous about all this. I know we said we would keep it quiet but Angela's psychic when it comes to these things."

"Haha…yeah I know Bones. Do worry about it though okay? I know you can do it! I have nothing but faith in you." Booth grasps her hand and quickly brings it to his lips.

"There are also so many things to consider. When will you be moving in? What will we tell Parker?"

"Moving in? I thought you would move in with me? And we can tell Parker together, he will be excited. He loves you already."

"Booth, why would I move in with you? My place is much bigger so I just thought you would move in with me."

"What about Parker? His room is at my place."

"I have a spare bedroom that can be his."

"That's fine, see we already settled one problem. I will move in with you. Do worry…everything will be okay."

"I know, I am just nervous about this whole thing."

"I think I know something that might settle your nerves." Booth gives her a seductive grin.

"And what might that be?" She grins back at him.

"Would you like to become a member of the mile high club?"

"I don't know what that means."

Booth laughs and leans forward to whisper in her ear. Her eyes get bigger at what he says.

"People actually do that? In the plane?" She questions.

"Uh yeah….haha…follow my lead." Booth gets up to head to the bathroom.

After a couple minutes Brennan gets up to follow. Being married to this man will be such an adventure.

Fifteen minutes later Booth comes out of the door with a huge grin on his face and heads back to his seat. Brennan follows shortly.

"Well that was interesting." She grins at Booth.

"You're telling me." He looks over at her; her cheeks turning bright red.

"At least it got your mind off of things."

"Yeah, defiantly accomplished that." She laughed and looked over at him.

"Ladies and gentleman please take your seats. We will begin our decent into DC. Please make sure your trays are in an upright position and wait until the fasten you seatbelt light has gone off before attempting to collect your belongings. We would also like to welcome you to Washington DC. As always, thank you for flying Southwest airlines and have a wonderful day."

"Well, here we go. Back home at last."

"At least we don't have to go into work till tomorrow."

"Uh Booth, I don't know about you but I have to go by the lab this afternoon. I told them I would come in. They would think something was up if I didn't."

"Grrr, I suppose you're right. I will accompany you then."

"Okay, but we have to act professional."

"Okay, I will try."

"No, not try Booth, we agreed to be professional at work."

"I know, it's just so hard to keep my hands off of my wife."

"Booth, promise me."

"Okay, okay….scouts honor." He holds up two fingers.

"I don't know what that means."

"Never mind, it just means I promise."

Booth laughs and puts his arm around her shoulders. They walk out to get into Booth's SUV that was in the parking garage.

Thirty minutes later they were at the Jeffersonian. Booth parked the car in the garage and reached over to pull Brennan to him. His lips quickly found hers and she deepened the kiss. She quickly realized what would happen if she didn't pull away and released his lips.

"I thought you said we would be professional."

"Hey, you said professional at work. The parking garage isn't work yet. So until we get out of the car, you are my wife."

"Fine fine, we better get going before someone sees us." She gives him a quick peck on the lips and hops out of the car. Booth reluctantly follows.

They enter the doors of the Jeffersonian and before they reach the platform they hear a squeal that they know so well.

Angela runs to meet her friend.

"Sweetie, you are back. I missed you. And you have some major explaining to do. Come on, you and me, your office now." Angela drags Brennan off to her office before she can protest.

Booth laughs, At least she knew what she was in for.

Booth approaches the platform and is greeted by Hodgins, Zach, and Cam.

"Hey guys."

"Welcome back Agent Booth." Zach says.

"Hey man." Hodgins replies.

"Seeley." Cam nods at him.

"So what did we miss?" Booth questions.

"Oh nothing really. Just identifying a few Civil War remains." Cam answers.

"So man, how as Vegas? You and Dr. Brennan have a good time?" Hodgins asks with a little bit of mischief in his voice.

"Uh yeah. You know, investigate the murder, catch the bad guy, get nearly killed by the bad guys brother, the usual."

"You guys nearly got killed?" Zach asked.

"What is new about that Zach?" Hodgins questioned then turned to Booth "So that is ALL that happened?" Hodgins made sure he emphasized the word all.

Zach and Cam just looked at Hodgins with confused looks on their faces.

"Yes, that is all." Booth knew Hodgins had to know something he has been spending to much time with Angela

Booth gave Hodgins a drop it or I would shoot you look. "Uh okay, so I need to do some more tests on the soil samples. Glad you are back man." Hodgins quickly turned and went back to his work.

"Zach, I need your help getting another set of bones from limbo." Cam and Zach turned to walk off of the platform.

"Hodgins!" Booth walked up behind him.

"Look man, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that anything had happened. Angela just has this idea that something might have so…."

He was cut short by Booth saying. "Don't let it happen again." And then Booth turned to go to Brennan's office.

Meanwhile in Brennan's office Angela had cornered Brennan.

"Sweetie, I am not dumb, I can see that something has changed in your body language towards Booth. Everyone saw the sexual tension that was there and now it seems to be gone, but in a good way, like you released it finally. You know I am right, just tell me what happened."

"You can tell that from seeing the two of us walk in together?"

"You know me! I have a sixth sense when it comes to these things. So spill already, I want all the naughty details."

"Angela, nothing happened."

"I don't believe that for one minute. You may be able to lie to everyone else in this lab but not to me. I can read you like a book."

"Fine Ange, we are together."

Angela lets out a squeal of delight. "I knew it, how was it. And I do mean IT! I am so happy for you sweetie this has been so long coming! It's about time you saw it."

"Okay okay, I told you, now can we drop it. We don't want anyone to know what is going on."

About that time Booth knocked on the door. "Am I interrupting something?"

"No not at all Agent Stud muffin! It's about time!"

"You told her?" He asked Bones.

"We both knew I couldn't keep it from her that we were dating." She hoped Booth would pick up the fact that she hadn't told Angela the whole truth.

Fortunately he did. "Oh okay." He went over and took Brennan's hand. "Well since you know Angela we would like it if you kept this a secret for now. We want to tell everyone but we want to start our relationship without pressure from others. Can you respect that."

"I suppose, I will keep it a secret!"

"You can't tell anyone, not even Jack."

"Okay fine, but you guys owe me!"

"Okay Ange, thank you."

"Sure sweetie." Angela gave Brennan a hug and smiled at Booth.

"Well I will leave you two love birds alone." Angela winked and turned to leave.

Booth turned to Brennan. "How long do you think we can keep the married thing from her?"

"Till tomorrow, tops."

Booth laughed "Well let's get out of here before she finds out tonight."

"Sounds good to me, let me just get a few files and my laptop and we can head home."

They gathered her things and headed home.
