OK, so...this will be the last actual chapter. :O I know, I'm shocked too. I thank everyone who has stuck with me and commented. There will probably, most likely be some sort of epilogue. I can't resist. Enough of my babble, enjoy [=

PS. Disclaimer: It's not mine. =(


It rang once and then twice. She was considering hanging up when she heard a drowsy hello. What was she supposed to say. She didn't want to do this over the phone, it didn't seem right. She thought for a split second.

"I need to see you, Booth," she whispered quietly.

-X-

He recognized the voice instantly. He didn't know why Bones would want to see him, and in the middle of the night. He had to think quick. "At the reflecting pool, by the coffee cart. Twenty Minutes." he said quickly and hung up. He hoped she didn't panic and decide not to come.

-X-

She heard the click of the phone and knew he had hung up. Which meant he was sure she was going to go. Of course she was going, but after everything she had said, he hadn't blown her off. That boosted her confidence slightly as she got dressed. She looked at the clock, she had ten minutes to get there. She grabbed her keys and locked her door behind her.

-X-

He got dressed quickly, on a mission. Goal: Fix what had happened. He remembered as he left his apartment, that he had read somewhere that you weren't supposed to go to bed angry. Now he was glad he hadn't fallen asleep. Maybe he could fix this mess before he had to sleep again. He smiled as he drove, just knowing that things were going to be OK.

-X-

She pulled up on the street and got out of the car. Looking around, she didn't notice any movement, but then, that could've been from the fact that it was 3 a.m. It was chilly so she pulled her jacket tighter around her body. She went one of the benches to sit down, and she waited. But she didn't have to wait for long as she heard footsteps walking towards her.

-X-

He spotted her car and pulled up next to it, saw no one and parked in front of it. He slammed the car door and started walking the short distance to where he was going. He felt a light breeze on his face and tucked his head into his jacket. He looked around and spotted a small figure siting on a bench. He recognized the jacket as Bones'. He smiled and walked in her direction.

-X- -X-

She turned towards the foot steps and saw Booth, smiling at her. She couldn't help but to smile back, know that it was going to be OK. She stood up and as soon as he got to her he kissed her, hard, and she didn't hesitate one bit to kiss back. He pulled away to breathe and she took that opportunity to talk.

"When I called you I expected to actually say something," she said with a slight smile. He smiled a huge smile, then sat her down on the bench. "I'm listening, " he said with a straight face, then smiled.

She tried to think of what would make sense. "I thought you'd be mad at me, " she said softly. "It makes no sense for you to have forgiven me so fast its jus-" he cut her off with a kiss.

"I understand, I should have expected you to be scared but I wasn't thinking and I feel like most of this should be my fault. And I'm wondering why you have forgiven me me so quickly."

She looked at him and smiled, "So we're OK?" she asked nervously.

He answered her with a kiss that made her dizzy. He stood up and offered her his arm. They drove back to her house. As they were driving a thought came to her.

"How am I going to get to work tomorrow?" she asked with a laugh. He looked at her, "With me of course," she laughed, "So this is really happening?"

"Yeah Bones, there's an 'us' now," she smiled at how happy he sounded.


They spent what was left of their weekend together.

Work on Monday was welcome, they both wanted their friends to know. As soon as they walked in they could tell Angela knew. She always knew stuff like that. Everyone heard her screaming as she saw them, and they knew everyone at the Jeffersonian had to know they were together. Cam talked to them, right before she congratulated them. Hodgins congratulated them, he said he knew it was coming. Angela, of course, was talking about how it was meant to be, and of course they knew that was true. All was good with them. That's how it was supposed to be.


Goodness, gracious me! I know it's not all that good but it had, had, had to end happy. Its not them without some happy. So...tell me what you think, the review button is your friend and will not eat your cursor. Thank you for reading. ^_^
