Recap: "What?!" Brennan gasped.

"I said marry me, I love you. You can't say that you don't feel the same way, marry me!" Booth said looking up at her.

Chapter nine: Matrimony

Brennan was speechless, "Booth, I…I don't… I mean I have my own place and…."

"See! I knew you talked to Rebecca about me! You're starting to sound just like her!" Booth snapped.

"Don't accuse me for something I didn't do Booth!" Brennan growled jabbing a finger into Booth's chest. "You listen to me and you listen good! I DID NOT TALK TO REBBECCA ABOUT YOU!! I WAS TALKING TO HER ABOUT PARKER!!!" Brennan yelled.

"Then why won't you marry me!!" Booth whinnied.

"I NEVER said I wouldn't marry you!" Brennan growled.

"Then just say yes!"

"Fine Booth, you got me! YES I'll marry you! YES I'll live you, and YES I'll raise a family with you!!" She screamed.

"Come on Bones, just one little word say yes….wait what?!" Booth said finally realizing what she said.

Brennan sighed, "I said yes Booth." She said calmly.

"Really?!" Booth asked.

She nodded, "Yes."

"And your sure about this, I mean, you really want to marry me, because I thought you didn't believe in…"

"Booth, do you want to marry me or not, I'm getting mixed messages."

"Yes! Of course I want to marry you!" he laughed kissing her, "Thank you, thank you, and thank you!" He laughed picking her up.

"Whoa Booth! Calm down! You're acting like I bought you an amusement park!" Brennan said shocked by Booth's reaction.

"Now give me your finger." He said opening a box reveling a glistening diamond ring.

"Hey, I said I'd marry you but I didn't say I would wear the ring!" Brennan half hissed.

"Come on please Bones, I need to see if I need to get it resized. Just put it on for a second and then you can take it off." He promised. "This will make the engagement official!"

"I thought the kissing made it official or the fact that I said yes." Brennan groaned sticking her hand out for Booth to put the ring on.

He slide the ring on her finger, "hey it fits! That saves me a trip to the jeweler's." Booth smiled sliding the ring off.

"What are you doing?! Give it back!" she said snatching the ring.

"You…want to wear it?" Booth asked in surprise.

"You gave it to me. It would be rude if I didn't." Brennan said simply.

Booth just raised his eyebrows, "When do you want to have the wedding?"

"Whoa! One step at a time! It's like you're trying to rush me into marring you. Isn't if enough that I said yes and that I'm actually wearing the ring?" Brennan said. "I'll need time to plan the wedding and all…actually, if you wouldn't mind if I got ange to plan it, she's very good at things like this."

Booth shrugged, "Why not? It couldn't hurt." Booth smiled as the elevator doors finally opened.

"But just to set things straight… number one, I'm keeping my maiden name, number two I will not stand being talk to like a maid or a trophy wife, and number three I get the say in where we leave." Brennan said.

"That's a lot your asking Bones." Booth laughed.

Brennan shrugged, "Those are my standards, if you want to marry me that's what you're going to have to live with."

Booth sighed, "For you Bones, I'll do it."

"Good." She said giving him a peck on the lips.

Booth and Brennan walked out of the hospital, hand in hand. Everything was going just fine. Booth and Brennan had for one moment forgotten all about Brooks and his posse but that all changed when they got back to their motel room,

"Oh my God! What happened here?!" Brennan gasped looking around the motel room, things were tossed her and there, glass was shattered and the bed sheets were ripped in half.

"Somebody was here looking for something." Booth hissed, "My gun is gone!"

"So is my cell phone!!" Brennan growled. There was a creak out the door.

"Bones get into the bathroom!" Booth hissed pulling her into the bathroom.

They got into the tub and sank down as low as they could. Then Brennan worst nightmare occurred, a black snake began to slither across her chest. Her eyes grew in fear. She opened her mouth to scream but Booth quickly covered it. They could her more than one person rummaging through their stuff.

After what seemed like forever, they heard people walking out the door and a loud bang from the door being shut. Booth waited until he heard the starting of car engines before he released Brennan. She jumped up and screamed,

"Oh my God! Ew! Ew! I hate SNAAAKKKEEEESSS!!! She shrieked running out of the bathroom.

Booth jumped up too, "Bones, wait! Where are you going?!"

"Somewhere far away from this snake infested motel! Are you coming or not?!"

Booth sighed and followed Brennan out the door, "Where are we going to go?"

"Philadelphia! We'll stay with Jared and your parents!"

"What! No Bones…"

"Don't you Bones me! I just had snakes crawling on me so if you think you can argue your way out of this you can't!" she breathed angrily. "We're going! There's a pay phone about twenty miles from here, you can call your parents and tell them that we're coming." She said getting into the passenger side.

Booth sighed, "I guess there's no point in arguing with you." He said starting the engine. "This is going to be a very long drive… do you need to use the bathroom before we go?"

"Booth, drive!" Brennan growled.

"Fine, fine, just asking." He huffed as he pulled away from the cheap motel.
