Booth POV

Everything was going according to plan, Booth was going to be waiting for her at the airport, to be able to rescue her after the security guard had trapped her.

"Hi, Bones. How was your trip?"

"Don't call me Bones. Can I go home now?" She looked desperate, like if that was the thing she needed the most.

"Sure, I'll drive you."

"No, I can go home by myself Booth, I'm more than capable to drive myself to home." Booth was irritating her. She needed to see her daughter as soon as possible.

"Come on Bones, my car is right outside. You'll be home faster if I take you."

Reluctantly she accepted. She knew he was right and she wanted to be with Christine but before she was on the car Booth heard a barely audible "Don't call me Bones".

Once they arrived at her house Booth hurried to open Brenna's door at the same time she was out of the car. They were closer than they realised and they were lost in the moment, with all the memories of the last year, the kiss they shared and how Brennan ran away.

She was the one who cut off the moment by going to grab her luggage and going into her house. After she opened the door, she turned to look at him.

"Bye Booth."

And that was all. Once again she was out of his reach and there was nothing he could do.

Brennan POV

After Angela was gone and the needs of her daughter were satisfied she locked herself in her head trying to hide all the feelings she was experiencing in the deepest of her mind.

She was sure those feelings were going to disappear one day but she wasn't sure when that date was going to arrive, she occasionally felt that way a few times last year but Seeley Booth looked like it was going nowhere so instead of allowing herself to feel that way she just hid those feelings until the next time with the hope that it was going to be over someday.

Even when really deep down she wished they never did.

Booth POV

The relationship between them was better and better in the matter of a few months and to Booth was really hard to hide his feelings for the doctor. He was starting to get through the wall that his partner had once built to protect herself from all the things that could hurt her. The only way for her to trust him was to convince her that the trust was both ways. He had to tell her everything about him and always tell her the truth so he took a very important decision.

He wanted her to meet his son. He was going to introduce Parker to her. Parker was going to be with him the next couple of days so he arranged it all.

"Hey, Bones. What do you think about getting lunch together at the Dinner tomorrow?"

"I have to take care of some things but sure, we could discuss the trial of our last case."

"Sure Bones. I'll see you tomorrow."
