previous chapter:
"Hi, I am Mike Carter, and this is my wife Molly." Booth returned the shake and Brennan extended her hand towards her aunt.
Something caught Cathy's eye on Brennan's right hand. "Where did you get that ring?"

Booth's breath hitched in his throat.
We've been caught already! Bones how could you wear the ring?
Brennan looked down at her finger and saw the ring she was asking about. "I got this in Guatemala on a di -er, trip."
Booth exhaled loudly. He hadn't realized he had been holding his breath.
"Wow, it is so beautiful, I have never seen a piece of jade that large before, is that set in silver?" Inquired her aunt.
"Yes, it is, I love unique looking jewellery, it is kind of an obsession of mine."
"So are you a big traveller then?"
"Yes, well sort of." Brennan had been all over the world, but Molly hadn't.
"She does love to travel." Booth stepped in trying to cover for her. "She travelled a lot more before she met me, but I am not a big flyer so we are stuck on the ground now."
"Oh that is so sweet. Well come on over and meet the fellow campers they're all eager to meet the newlyweds!"
Booth and Bones were introduced around. There was a couple from Saskatchewan and one from Florida, there was also a group of college students on their way to Yellowstone. Conversation was light and came easy, before they knew it, it was midnight. The long day of travel had caught up to the both of them.
"Well I think we are going to call it a night everyone. It was so nice to meet you all, and I hope we catch up with you again." Booth got up and took Brennan's hand in his, as he led her away from the fire.
"Oh hey, you guys, wait up." Cathy yelled after them.
The pair stopped in their tracks and turned to meet her.
"Why don't the both of you stop by my office in the morning and I will give you the package I set up for you."
Bones nodded. "That sounds great, we will be by around nine, if that's okay?"
"Sounds great, I'll see you then, have a good sleep."
As Cathy turned to return to the fire, Booth reminded Bones of their need to be overly cautious.
"I thought she had us dead to rights back there Moll. I nearly fainted. Where is the 'ring' by the way?"
"I put it on a chain around my neck. After everything we have been through, you think I'd let us get caught on the first night? Thanks for having the 'faith' in me Booth."
"It isn't called 'the faith' Doll, it is just 'faith'. I thought maybe you had forgotten. I am sorry for jumping to conclusions."
"It's okay, I was a little scared at first too, before I remembered that I didn't have it on my hand."
They returned to the RV and got ready for bed. "Booth, is this going to be okay?"
Booth looked at her suspiciously.
"I mean, do you think we will be okay? I am kind of hoping my Dad is wrong and people aren't following us, but do you think my aunts will accept me?"
Booth walked towards her slowly and enveloped her in his arms. "Bones, I think they will be happy when they find out who you are, and I think they will understand why we had to visit them like this. I know you want family and answers and I think we're going to get them." Booth looked down at her and smiled. "They're going to love you, Bones. How can they not?"
"Thanks Booth. I needed that. Do you think we could crawl into bed now, I am exhausted."
Booth nodded and pulled his shirt and shorts off, leaving him in only his boxers. He climbed into the bed and pulled the covers back for Brennan.
She was completely shocked. "Aren't you going to wear any pajamas? I have to go and get mine on."
"It's too hot for jammies Bones, and plus, if the trailers rockin' don't come a knockin'!"
"I don't know what that means, but I am still going to change." Brennan slipped into the tiny bathroom and struggled to push the image of Booth in his boxers to the back of her mind. "He is my partner, my partner, we can only be friends, nothing more. Oh my, why does he have to look so good in almost nothing. He is just structured well, nothing more. Just good genetics." She whispered to herself.
"What was that Doll? Did you just say something to me?"
"No, nothing Mikey, just talking to myself." Her face reddened with the thought that he could have heard what she said.
Brennan made her way into the bed with Booth, careful not to touch his side of the bed.
"Goodnight, Boo-Mike. Big day tomorrow." She unconsciously snuggled closer to his warmth.
Booth wrapped his arm around her he was almost asleep. "Hmm, g'night Molly, love ya."
