Okay, new chapter. By the way, I did get to school okay this morning. There were these darn birds that kept flying in front of my car; I didn't hit them, though; I swerved. Happy reading!

Booth burst out laughing as Brennan hung up. "Do you think she bought it?" he asked, attempting to catch his breath.

"Definitely."

"That was great! We have to torment Angela more often!"

"You know that with Angela's big mouth, this is going to be all over the lab by Monday morning?" she asked, taking a seat on the couch.

"Who cares? People already think we're sleeping together anyway," he divulged, placing himself a little to close to her on the couch for them to be just partners.

"They do?" she questioned, obviously surprised.

"Yeah. Thanks to Angela, everyone at the Jeffersonian thinks we're together, and everyone at the FBI thinks we're together because of the way we act around one another," he explained.

"The way we act together?" she asked slowly, unsure about the phrase's meaning.

"Well, you know when I shot Agent Kenton and got you down from that hook? Well, Cullen questioned me the next day while I was still in the hospital about the way we acted towards each other. He asked if there was anything going on between us and I told him that there was nothing between us and that there never had been. I doubt that he believed me, though. He almost reassigned me, you know?"

"What!"

"Yeah, he thought we were becoming too close."

"Really? He thought that?"

"He was going to separate us until I explained that we solved murders by working closely together."

"He bought that?" It didn't sound like Cullen.

"Not exactly. After he didn't believe my bull shit answer, I asked him if he liked the fact that we solved murders. He said yes, of course. I then asked him if he really believed that you would still be willing to work with the FBI if they reassigned your partner. He thought about it, smiled, and then said that if he believed that there was anything between us again, then I would be reassigned, no questions asked."

"Cullen actually said that?" she questioned, a bit surprised.

"Yeah, he did. He also said that when we got married, he expected an invitation," he laughed.

Brennan joined in on the laughter, imagining the FBI director's face as he said that, patted Booth on the arm, and then left the room; it was pretty humorous. "I definitely can't believe he said that," she giggled.

"I know it's a bit unbelievable, but he actually thinks we're a great team and that we'd make an even better couple."

Brennan smiled; Booth knew how to make her smile. She sighed, "Well, I never pictured Cullen as the romantic type."

Booth gave a light chuckle. "If I were you, I'd keep that thought to myself."

"Maybe you're right." Brennan sighed again. "So what are your plans for today?"

"Well, I'm supposed to take Parker to the park today but if you wanna hang out I'm sure-" Brennan cut him off.

"No. You're son is more important that us hanging out together," she replied automatically.

"We could, you know, do something together," he suggested off handedly.

She presented him with a questioning expression. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, why not? Parker really likes you. He keeps asking me when you can come over for dinner," he explained shyly.

"Really?"

"Yeah," he shrugged his shoulders, a bit embarrassed.

"Okay."

"Really?" You don't mind spending time with Parker?"

"No. I like Parker; he's just like his dad," she smiled.

Okay, I have a question to ask. Would you like it if continued on with the story for a few more chapters and then have Booth go missing? Everyone believes him to be dead but Brennan won't give up. Should I include this idea in to this story or should I make it in to a different story? Let me know if you have an opinion.

By the way; what did you think of this chapter?
