Only one more left!! Enjoy and review!
Booth sat in his office thinking about Brennan and her gift. He had gone to the Jeffersonian during lunchtime after Angela had texted him that they were securely out of the building. He could wait to hear from Angela what Brennan's reaction was to the gift and what she had said. Despite Angela's invasive questions, he refused to let her in on the surprise, not only because it was private but also because he knew that Angela would most likely drop hints as to what was coming. His peaceful thoughts were interrupted by a heavy set of footsteps making their way towards his office.
Brennan rushed into his office looking flustered, "You win." she said louder than necessary.
Booth hopped out of his chair when she stormed in, confused about whether the gift made her angry or happy, "I win?" he replied cautiously, then seeing the necklace swinging from her neck. He smiled.
"Marry me!" She blurted out, then immediately smacking her hands over her mouth.
"But…" Booth said taking in a long breath of reassurance, "you think marriage is archaic and antiquated." He said adjusting his belt buckle. He was excited by her outburst and was unable to hide his true feelings in his voice and on his face.
Brennan, still death gripping her mouth nodded her head in agreement.
"And you also say that you don't need a piece of paper to prove that you love someone." He said placing his hands on his hips. She nodded again and this time she let her hand fall to her side.
Booth shifted on his feet and thought for a moment, "Did you really mean it or was it some kind of visceral reaction?"
Brennan stomped her foot on the floor and balled her fists, "Just say yes already before I change my mind! Damn it! You are so infuriating!"
Booth jogged around the side of his desk and pulled her into his arms, "Yes, of course!" he said. He kissed her on the cheek and she turned her head and caught his lips with her own.
He placed his hands on her lower back and pulled her in closer and lifting her off the ground. She placed her hands around the back of his neck and ran her fingers through his hair.
A crowd had begun to form outside of his office. They were gawking at the sight that all of them (some of whom had made high stakes bets on it) believed would never happen. And more than anything, they were surprised to see the good doctor wrap her legs around Booth's torso.
Booth, with an ecstatic Brennan wrapped around him, exited his office. On his way out he realized the scene that they had caused and was shocked to find the shocked faces of his fellow agents but also the shocked face of Director Cullen.
Booth panicked for a moment but then calmed. He planted a kiss on Brennan's forehead and the two stared at the Director for a moment before Booth spoke.
"Sir, if you don't mind, my fiancé and I are going to take the rest of the afternoon off."
At the word 'fiancé' all of the Agent's looked stunned and then completely elated by the news. A smile broke out on Cullen's face and he clapped the Agent on the back.
"Congratulations to the both of you. I will be expecting an invitation in the mail." He said, then turning to Brennan specifically, "I assume then that it was you that sent what is now known as the 'Pie of Dreams' to the Hoover building?"
Brennan blushed and slid back down to the ground and steadily onto her feet, "Yes sir."
Cullen shook his head, "I can only hope that in place of a wedding cake, you have a wedding pie like that one."
Brennan laughed and looked at Booth, "I don't think it would be appropriate to do anything else."
With that, the Agent and the Doctor left the Hoover building and spent the rest of the day in each other's arms.
