Hey y'all. Can you believe last night's epi??? BRILLIANT! For you all who didn't get the episode, I wish there was some way that I could help... My advice... Pirate. It's worth it.
Hahaha. J/K
Tell me what you all think!
It was a week of firsts. The first family visit, the first un-coerced kiss, the first night spent together, the first night of making love, the first night of unbridled sex among many others. The most important of all of them however, one that she wasn't particularly sure she was ready to share with him was that this week had been the first in seventeen years where she remained completely and utterly blissful; and it was all because he had spent most every waking minute with her.
She found it strange in many ways. Before they had been in a relationship that was this hot and heavy she believed that she was completely fulfilled, but now after realizing their full potential together, she couldn't imagine going back to the way things were before. She was a changed woman because of him and yet she was still the same old overly analytical superbly literal Temperance Brennan and he was still the same uniquely attentive and oddly optimistic Seeley Booth, but she was seeing him in a whole new light.
They were sitting at the diner, sharing a piece of pie and watching the snow fall to the ground outside. They were content just sitting there at the window together watching the streets of DC slowly disappear under the white blanket of the season, secretly stealing glances at one another, but failing miserably to fool each other.
"You don't like pie." He said, breaking the silence as she scooped up another bite of the cherry pie between them.
She shrugged, "I guess I'm in the mood for empty calories." She said, shoving the bite into her mouth and smiling at him.
Booth laughed and placed his fork down on the table and motioned for the waitress to bring another piece over, "I'm so glad that Cullen was receptive to this." He said smiling at her.
"To what?" she questioned him.
"Our relationship, Bones!" he exclaimed, "Aren't you happy?"
Brennan looked up at him, "Do you think that I am unhappy?" she asked sarcastically.
Booth shrugged, "I'm no mind reader." He said laughing.
Brennan slapped him on the arm from her side of the table and he feigned hurt, "I'm extremely happy."
Booth rubbed the sore spot on his arm, "I guess abuse equals happiness." He laughed. She laughed with him as the waitress set down another piece of pie on the table. Brennan immediately dug into the pie with her fork as Booth finished off the last of the first pie, "So, are you more open to there being a God now?" he asked.
Brennan rolled her eyes, "In all of the conversations I had with Anthony and Grace there was never a mention of a divine creator of any sort. I will acquiesce to there being an after life of some sort but then again, we might just be crazy or were exposed to some sort of hallucinogen on the job." She shrugged and took another bite of pie and a sip of hot chocolate.
Booth snorted, "I would buy that." He said, noticing the prideful look on her face, "Except for the fact that we both 'hallucinated' the same people and Frankie. There is no possible way that you and I could have both come up with the same little girl if we were hallucinating. Not to mention the fact that you saw my Aunt and Uncle before you even knew who they were."
Brennan's face dropped, "You have a point." She said.
He smiled slightly and sighed, "I have to get back to the Hoover building." He said looking at his watch. Brennan nodded and they both stood and put on their jackets and other accessory winter apparel. Booth threw money down the table and they both exited the diner, "Do you need a ride back?" he asked, pulling her into his arms.
She shook her head and smiled at him, "I don't have to be back for a few minutes and I think I'd like to walk." She said wrapping her hands around his waist.
Booth laughed, "I think you just gave me a heart attack."
Brennan looked suddenly concerned and brought her hands to his chest, "Are you okay?" she asked hurriedly, pulling her cell phone out of her pocket.
Booth laughed while grabbing the phone and putting it back in her pocket, "It's a figure of speech, Bones. I just never thought I'd see the day where you weren't completely anxious to get back to the lab."
Brennan exhaled and smiled. After a moment of calming herself she looked up at him and laughed, "I don't know." She said, shrugging, "I guess, I realized that there are other things that can be a priority."
"I'm a priority, huh?" he asked.
Brennan laughed, "I thought you had to get back."
Booth moaned and buried his face in her hair, "I do…"
She turned her head and searched out his lips with her own. They reveled in the moment of solace that they found in one another and when their lips parted they instantly wished that the work day was over so that they could be with one another again.
"I'll see you later." He said, pulling her in for another hug.
"Okay." She replied.
"I love you, Bones." He whispered.
"I love you too." She responded. Reluctantly they broke apart Brennan watched him walk down the street and out of sight around the corner. She sighed and smiled to herself before turning around toward the Jeffersonian. As she walked away from the diner, she ran into someone on the road. When she looked up at them to make her apologies for not paying attention she realized that it was none other than Anthony Gallo.
"Hello Temperance." He smiled at her.
"Hello." She said cautiously, "Well? Did I do it? Are you all going to leave me alone now?" she asked.
Anthony laughed, "Yes. You chose the right path. It won't be easy though. Just because you started in the right place doesn't mean you can't end up back where you started." He said cautiously.
Brennan rolled her eyes, "I'm not worried." She said looking over at the street corner where she had seen Booth fall out of view. She smiled to herself and turned back to Anthony who was looking in the same direction, "Why did you do this anyway? Why me and Booth?" she asked.
"I told you that it was sort of selfish reasoning, but mainly because you're both so completely stubborn. You needed the guidance. It was Grace's idea really. She was so upset at the prospect that you two might never have gotten together that she insisted that we intervene. So you have her to thank for all of this." He winked at her.
Brennan laughed, "Well I guess I'll have to find some way to thank her." She said.
Anthony smiled at her and sighed, "Well, my job here is done."
"It was nice meeting you Anthony." She said extending her hand to him.
He looked at her hand and took it, then pulling her toward him and kissing her on the cheek, "It was lovely meeting you as well." He whispered to her.
She pulled back. Something about this man seemed so familiar. He simply smiled at her and turned away, "Oh!" he said turning back toward her and placing a hand on her stomach, "Tell Frankie I say hello."
Brennan looked down at his hand placed on her abdomen and her jaw dropped. She looked up at Anthony to confirm her suspicions and he simply nodded in response. A single tear fell down the length of her cheek and she immediately turned away from him, smiling and took out her phone speed dialing Booth, "Turn around and come get me this instant." She said into the phone, "Nothing is wrong." she laughed.
Anthony laughed and turned on his heels smiling. He shook his head and dug into his pocket and pulled out a black poker chip and tossed it into the air, "Some things never change." He said to himself, trudging down the street in the snow and whistling.
