A/N: Okay look who decided to update at 3 in the morning AHHHH! in the uncomfy chair. I hope I did alright with this chapter….and it meets everyone's expectations of it.
Just then Booth walked in the side door.
"Race you upstairs" said Parker providing Cory and himself an easy escape.
Damn. She thought. Cory would have told her she was sure of it.
He strode over to where she was in the kitchen, and kissed her sweetly. He hadn't heard the conversation with the boys. Needless to say he knew not what was on her mind.
"Hey, babe How's my Mac n Cheese?" he added teasingly to make her grin. She did of course.
"Haha you are funny Booth."
"Hey you know I missed you Bones." How was your afternoon?"
"Well, since I was at work. I worked. Worked a little with my new book. Cam told me today as well that she's going out of town next week so I might be a bit late Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I'll be taking over our department for that time.Angela is trying to have the 'I want kids' talk with Hodgins.-" they both burst out in a fit of laughter.
"Bones, what do you um mean by trying?"
"When she brings it up he always changes the subject, or says he's busy. Whenever she comes around looking for him he told me strictly to say I haven't seen him." Finished Brennan still laughing.
"where did you go after work? You always beat me home."
CRASH. Suddenly a loud commotion erupted from upstairs in one of the bedrooms. Uh-Oh thought Booth. Now what have those kids gotten into? "I'll take care of it" said Bones with a slight shake of her head.
"oh Booth just turn off the stove please, and set the table?"
He nodded what could he possibly deny that woman when she looked at him that way? Gorgeous eyes, lovely smile, and her touch on his arm.
He was relieved though the boys saved him from having to lie to his girlfriend.
She walked up the stairs. Damn I almost had him….Judging by his physical behavior before Parker and Cory caused a destruction. Huh. I wonder if he'd planned that?
Since Parker's room had a light on she walked towards his room first.she found her two culprits standing bemused in the center of the room. She glanced to the left wall. Ah, a broker shelf the source of the noise where some of Parker's are..err were?The shelf lay half on the floor and half on the wall.
This should be an amusing tale… "Parker Booth, what did that poor shelf ever do to you?"
Parker and Cory shared a look. Hmm she didn't appear to be mad….good thing.
"what happened here guys?" Parker sighed and Cory stood there with his mouth agape then looked up at his brother. "well, I was climbing on the shelf which was supposed to be a tree." All three of them laughed after the thought of it.
"Parker how about you and Cory pile those books up against the wall out of the way for now." She said it as a statement with no room for discussion.
"I'll have your Dad fix this over the weekend. Oh and Parker no more climbing on it." He nodded getting the point.
"dinner's ready. Come on downstairs." They flew past her in a rush like that'd been famished or suffered from malnutrition which they certainly didn't.
After dinner she was laying on the couch with a book and dim light turned on. Suddenly she felt two large arms lifted her around the waist from the couch.
She raised a questioning and challenging eyebrow at her boyfriend. "bedtime," he said as if so obvious. "I have a bedtime now?" "no babe but the boys do."
Now she felt like an idiot. Where is my head tonight? Figuratively of course.
"Right, sorry. I was a bit caught up in thought."
"Don't worry about it."
After twenty long minutes of torture the boys were finally getting in bed. However that did not mean they were asleep.
"Mommy?"
"Yeah?"
"I think you and Daddy should get married."
Wasn't exactly expecting that yet she thought.
"why do you say that Cory?"
"well, you and Daddy love each others and that means you should get married, Parker and I were talking earlier and we thought it was a good idea!"
She smiled. "Alright I'll think about that. Daddy actually has to ask me though. His ego wouldn't want me doing it."
"what's ego."
"it means Daddy's extremely high opinion of himself."
He was out like a light before her sentence was finished.
She walked into their living room where Booth was now in her earlier spot on the couch.
"Seeley, you're in my spot." She told him huskily, and with a wicked smile playing on his lips. Crap he thought.
She leaned over the arm of the couch and whispered to his smoothly.
"Am I going to have…." She kissed his neck "…to kick your ass…" another kiss his neck. This one lingered a bit longer. She definitely going to leave a mark…"…off my couch?" He swallowed hard now. His only thought was his girl was trying to kill him.
His body started moving on its own. He suddenly pulled her over the couch and into his lap. That caught her off guard.
"Bones, what do you think you're doing?"
"Driving you crazy."
She answered honestly. Then, she pressed her lips to his. Soon his hands were all over her. His roaming hands were now inching up underneath her shirt on the sides. He was itching to touch more of her soft skin.
Her hands weren't being innocent at all either. They were making fast work of her of the buttons on his white dress shirt.
"Come on Seeley, let's go upstairs." She whispered it seductively in his ear before playfully running up the stairs quietly careful not to wake the boys.
Yep Bones is definitely trying to kill me.
By the time he got in their room he was surprised at her having stripped down to her camisole and panties waiting in bed for him. Her legs were crossed. Amazing legs he thought.
She was reading some magazine too which made it look excessively sexy.
He went over and placed a hand on her thigh and started roaming up it.
"No touching for you." She said
smacking him away with the reading material lightly.
"Why not? Is something wrong?"
"Booth where were you after work today?"
Crap I thought she'd been distracted enough to forget. Who was he kidding she never forgot any unanswered question.
Soon he realized in the time she had been distracted he hadn't thought of an excuse.
"Is it that bad?"
"what?"
"You've been sitting there for like five minutes…"
No, no Temperance it isn't all."
Oh, no the first name. what had he been doing?
"I'm still waiting…"
….he left her with another long pause.
She threw the magazine on her bedside table and turned away from him laying down.
"Fine, never mind." She said extremely annoyed because he was hiding something from her.
"Hey, Bones don't be like that" he said turning him back to him. "I just can't tell you yet, so please don't ask me or manipulate Cory into telling you."
"you are such a tease Temperance Brennan you were trying to seduce me so I would tell you!"
"I…was not. Okay fine I was…."
He reached over and put a hand on a cheek and his other went to her hip he kissed her lovingly. "But I love you anyway."
"Cory said the oddest thing tonight Seeley he told me him and Parker think we should get married."
Booth froze on the spot and coked out a strangled
"he what?"
She looked concerned now.
"Hey, Booth are you alright?"
Make sure you Review for me guys….I stayed up extremely late to write this and I'll probably be a zombie for school in…2 hours in 20 minutes. Who in the world decided 12th graders report to class at 7:15? Pleasey please review I don't seem to be getting much in terms of them for this story. Make sure you read the prequel if you didn't before you started this. So, who wants to go to my statistics class for me at 9:30 this morning? sighs
