My Son

Chapter 4

When the group arrived downstairs Drew left them in the front while he went to get the car. After Booth put his son in the back seat and put the seat belt on him Rebecca got in the back seat also. "I'll see you next week okay Daddy?"

"Okay, I'll have your new back pack waiting for you. Parker, do you know if Danny lives close to you?"

"Yeah, his family moved in just down the street two weeks ago."

"Do you know what his last name is?"

"Danny Case. Why?"

"I just want to go and talk to his father about what happened okay."

"Okay, bye Daddy."

"Rebecca would you step out of the car for a second so I can talk to you?" Rebecca took her seat belt off and got out of the car. Booth pulled her over further to the back of the car.

"You're not going to do anything are you Booth?"

"No I just wanted to tell you that I think Danny Case is the body that they took out of the bus yesterday."

"Well we certainly know how they'll be feeling. Tell Dr. Brennan and the rest of her team that I said thank you." She got back in the car and Drew drove away.

Booth and Dr. Brennan walked out to his SUV. They just sat there for awhile and didn't talk. Finally Booth started up the engine and he pulled out of the Hospital parking lot. When Booth came to his Church he quickly pulled into the parking lot and parked the SUV. "Would you like to come in with me? I want to thank Him for the safe return of my son who I thought was lost to me forever." Brennan just unbuckled her safety belt and got out. She had been in the church with Booth several times before and although she didn't believe in God she found the church to be a beautiful, quiet and peaceful place.

Brennan followed Booth in through the huge double doors. He carefully closed the doors behind them as they entered. They could see several people sitting near the front. Booth dipped his hands in the bowl of water that was by the entrance of the church and crossed himself. They went to the front of the church where there were several statues. After genuflecting in front of the alter he went to one of them that she knew to be a statue of what he called the Sacred Heart. In the front of the statue was a stand full of candles. Some were lit and some were not. She watched as Booth put several dollars into a small container attached to the stand then he used a small straw like stick to take a flame from one of the lit candles and lit 3 candles. Booth went to the front pew then and kneeled down. He crossed himself and then put his head down and joined his hands in prayer.

Brennan sat down next to him and stared at the huge Crucifix that hung in the middle of the wall behind the alter. She had read the Bible out of curiosity one time so she knew the story behind the crucifixion. To Brennan though it was nothing more than a story with no meaning or truth to it, to Brennan it was pure fiction. After 15 minutes of kneeling Booth crossed himself again and sat down.

"What did you pray for, if you don't mind my asking?" Brennan asked. She was always curious as to what Booth prayed about. He looked at her and she could see the tears that he had shed while praying. She took a Kleenex out of her purse and gave it to him. He wiped his tears away and blew his nose.

"I thanked Jesus for returning my son to me and I thanked Him for getting us to admit that we loved each other. I also asked Him to help us to remain partners for a long time to come." They sat in quiet solitude for a few minutes. "I always feel so peaceful when I am in here. Whatever case I am having a problem with at the time goes to the back of my mind and I am at peace. After a few minutes the answer as to how to solve the case always comes into my mind." Booth put his arm around his partner and leaned over and kissed her. When he pulled away he said "Let's go."

"Should we go back to the Lab first?" Booth asked.

"No, it will take at least 24 hours to clean the skeleton up. On Monday I'll put the facial markers on it and Angela can draw a picture of what the boy looked like. You're pretty sure though that it was Danny Case, aren't you?"

"Yeah, I hate to make the parents wait but I don't want them to go through what Rebecca and I went through unless I'm positive as to who he is."

"Let's go to the Diner because I am starving." Brennan said. Booth drove to the Diner and they went in and took their regular table. Booth ordered a double cheeseburger and coffee while Brennan had a Garden burger and an iced tea. Without saying anything neither one wanted to be too full for what they had in mind for activities for the rest of the day.

When Booth finished his hamburger and saw that Brennan was done he asked "Do you want to go to your apartment or mine?"

"Mine, it's closer." Brennan said. They were about to get up when Angela and Hodgins came in and joined them. Both Brennan and Booth looked deflated.

"Hi you two, how was Parker?" Hodgins sat next to Dr. Brennan and Angela sat next to Booth. It took several minutes of answering questions before Brennan could get Angela's attention. She looked at her and tried to be as inconspicuous as possible while doing her best to tell her that she wanted them to leave. Angela winked at her and said. "It looks like you guys are done so we'll just go to this other table and have some brunch. We'll see you on Monday." Brennan and Booth made a quick exit then.

When they made it to Brennan's apartment they stood at the door while Brennan searched for her keys. She was so anxious to get in that she dropped the keys and had to fumble with them for several seconds before she was able to unlock the door. When she finally opened it and they got in they quickly closed the door and Brennan locked it. She just dropped her keys and purse on the floor and Booth and Brennan grabbed for each other. Just as Booth was about to kiss her they heard someone clearing their throat.

"Hi, I think I came at a bad time so I'll just leave and I'll see you tomorrow." Brennan's father, Max, said as he left. He opened the door again and said "It looks like you're not gay after all." He closed the door again. They were so surprised by his presence that neither one said anything. Brennan locked the door again and led Booth over to her bedroom.

When they arrived in the bedroom Brennan started to take her clothes off but then she felt Booth's hands on her shoulders. "Whoa! Slow down their Bones. Take it easy, I want our first time to be a memorable one." Brennan stopped what she was doing and took a deep cleansing breath. When Booth saw that she was more in control of herself he approached her slowly and gently took her face in his hands and gave her a gentle kiss that barely touched hers. He pulled back and looked into her eyes. "I've loved you for the past 3 years Temperance Brennan but I was always afraid that you didn't have the same feelings for me. When I kissed you in your office though I knew that you felt the same."

Brennan reached up and put her hands on his. "I've loved you Booth for a long time also. I think that we were both afraid of losing our friendship though. We were afraid that if we took a chance with each other that they might separate us."

"They wouldn't dare do that now. We have the best record of solved cases and convictions on the East Coast. You and I are too good together for them to enforce the rule book."

"Does the rule book actually say that partners can't have a personnel relationship?"

"The FBI has rules for everything, but in our case I think that Cullen will overlook it because first our record, second you're a contractor. You don't actually work for the FBI. Plus it happens all of the time when both partners are single. They just do their best to not let their feelings for each other get in the way."

Booth was taller by two inches so Brennan had to pull his head down to her so she could kiss him. She stood on her toes and pursued him. Brennan was used to being in control so she went after his lips. Booth quickly took over though and forced her mouth open with his and his tongue searched out hers.

Booth pulled away and said "This first time Temperance Brennan you are going to give up control and let me make love to you."

Brennan smiled and said with a gleam in her eyes "Alright but next time it's my turn. Do you agree?"

"Yes but you have to refrain from talking about what kind of chemicals are being introduced in our systems to make us feel like we do now. Do you agree?"

"I will do my best to refrain from using my knowledge to further explain what LOVE really is."

Booth smiled at her and kissed her on the nose then he reached for her sweater and pulled it up over her shoulders and head and tossed it over to a chair. Brennan reached for his jacket then and pulled it off over his shoulders. They took turns taking each other's clothes off until they were both completely naked before each other. Brennan had already seen Booth naked once before when she had been mad at him about something, of which she couldn't remember right now, and had barged into his bathroom while he was relaxing in his bathtub. He had stood up while he was still in the bath tub to further push his point of view. She had looked at him appraisingly and although she didn't say anything, she liked what she saw.

Booth looked at Brennan and ran his hands over her shoulders, down her arms then down to her waist and hips. He always knew that he would like what he was seeing now because he had imagined her naked body in his mind many times. Whenever he was waiting for her at the lab he would just watch her and he would start to undress her in his mind. Several times he was thankful that he had his big heavy coat on so that he could pull it together and hide his condition.

Now he didn't have to hide his condition because his body was getting ready for him to give them what they both wanted. Booth bent down and picked her up in his arms. "Let's pull the covers down to the end of the bed first." Brennan said. He put her down and she went to the other side of the bed and pulled her end of the quilt and sheets down to the end of the bed while he did his side.

They came together then in the middle of the bed. Booth kissed her gently as he held on to her shoulders. His kisses ran down the side of her face and neck and then to her shoulders. As he reached her shoulders he pushed her back on the bed while his left hand supported her head. His lips continued down over her body stopping only for a moment as he paid homage to her breasts. He had imagined many times what they must look like and now he didn't have to imagine anymore. He continued down her hips and her legs and worked his way back up. As he got to the top of her legs he paused momentarily to flick his tongue at her center. She parted her legs but he taunted her by leaving her invitation behind and continued back up to her lips.

Brennan ran her hands up and down Booth's back and when she could reach them she grabbed onto his buttocks and squeezed them. She would have never admitted it before but she liked watching him walk away so that she could see his tight behind. All thoughts of chemical production went out the window at these times. The scientist in her would call her out of her reverie though and she would try to put him out of her mind and concentrate on the bones she was examining.

Brennan loved touching his well muscled arms and chest. As he moved his hands over her body she felt the muscles move under her hands and she found herself being turned on even more. Her hands then moved to the front where she could grab hold of his erection and when she did that Booth couldn't hold back anymore and he pushed her legs apart with his legs and entered her. When he pushed himself inside of her she let out a soft moan. Worried he had hurt her he pulled out and asked "Did I hurt you?"

"No it's just been a long time for me and you're bigger than most men that I've been with. Do it more slowly and gently at first and I'll be alright." Booth did as she said. As she came close to her orgasm he slowed down again and played with her breasts a little. Her body was ready though so of its own volition it started to raise up to meet his every thrust and he knew that she was eager for him to culminate their joining. He pumped her faster then and within seconds he was able to give them both that release that they were both hungry for.

Booth lay on top of her as he regained his normal breathing pattern. When his mind started working again he rolled to the side and pulled out of her. They laid there for awhile and before long Brennan heard him softly snoring. He had had an emotionally draining day and she knew he was tired so she let him sleep. She reached down to the end of the bed and pulled the sheets and quilt over both of them then she went to sleep also.

Three hours later Booth woke up and rolled over on his side. He could see that it was dark outside now so he checked his watch. It was 9 PM. He started thinking of what he was doing at 9 PM the previous day. He remembered that he was trying to sleep on the couch in Brennan's office. She was laying beside him and she was running her hand through his hair like his mother used to do when he was little and having trouble sleeping. At that time he had thought that he had lost Parker. The memory and the pain of yesterday brought tears to his eyes and he started crying.

Brennan woke up when she felt Booth moving. She looked closely at him and could see the light from the moon reflecting on his tears as they fell down his face. She raised herself up to her elbow and pulled his head close to her chest and wrapped her arm around him. "It's all over now Booth. Parker is safe in his own bed with his mother." His sobs slowed down and he slowly regained control of himself.

"When I woke up I looked at my watch and saw that it was 9 o'clock and it made me think of what I was going through at the same time last night. The memories of the pain that I experienced at the loss of my son came flooding back on me and I couldn't help but start crying again. I pray God that I never have to experience that pain again."

Brennan laid back down and he put his head on her chest just as he did last night and just as she did last night she ran her hands through his hair until he went back to sleep again.

At midnight Brennan woke up first this time. As carefully as she could she got up and went into the bathroom. When she came out she realized that she was hungry so she put her robe on and her slippers and went into the kitchen. The apartment had become cold so she turned the heater on. Normally she liked it a little cool since she was used to the air conditioning of the lab. Because of the warmth that she had felt in bed with Booth next to her she was more sensitive to the cold now. She started up the coffee maker and pulled out some leftover Mac & Cheese that she had in the refrigerator.

Booth woke up to the smell of the fresh coffee brewing. He pulled on his pants and t-shirt and walked down the hallway to the kitchen. "Are we having a little midnight snack and is their enough for me?"

"Yes there is more than enough. I'll warm up a plate for you if you go and start the fire in the fire place for me." Booth went over and started up the gas fireplace. He stood in front of it for awhile until Brennan called him.

When Brennan had eaten some food and was drinking her coffee she looked at Booth. "You know I don't know why in the world we waited so long to have sex. Angela kept on telling me to take a ride on the train known as Special Agent Seeley Booth. Now that I think about it though I do know why we waited so long. It was that stupid line you drew."

Booth sat up straight and looked at her. "I drew that line for you Bones. It was more for me than it was for you though. After only 6 months I already knew that I didn't want to lose you as a partner. I knew that I had hit the jackpot when I was paired with you. We're good together Bones. Together we have one of the highest number of cases solved of any agents in the Eastern side of the United States. If we can keep that up than there is no way that they will separate us. Our record for cases solved and convictions is why they have us going to Sweets. They still don't know and understand you like I do."

"But that doesn't tell me why you drew the line." Booth looked closely at her. He looked into her eyes to find out what she had up her sleeve.

"I drew the line for me so that I wouldn't pursue you. I drew the line so that you would feel comfortable in having other relationships. At the time that I drew that line I didn't know how well we would work together nor how much I would come to love you."

Brennan just stared back at him for awhile. Then a smile played across her face. He knew she was slipping into her playful mood. She always had that glint in her eyes whenever he told her that they were going to have to go undercover.

Brennan got up and took their empty plates and put them into the dishwasher after scraping them clean. She turned the lights off along with the fireplace and then walked back to her bedroom.

Booth got up and followed her. He just thought to himself "Let the games begin".

When he arrived in the bedroom she was already in bed so he put his cup of coffee that he had brought with him, down on the night stand. He pulled off his t-shirt and pants and joined her in bed. He leaned on his elbow and looked down at her. "I know you're up to something." Booth said as he watched her facial expressions.

"How do you know what I am thinking? You're good at reading people but you can't read minds."

"Admit it Dr. Brennan I know you to well. I am such an expert on Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan that I almost know what you are going to say or do before you even think of it."

Brennan put her hands around his neck as though she was pulling him down into a kiss. When he leaned down to her she quickly grabbed him and made him flip over her so that she was now on top of him. She straddled his legs and said "Now who has the power of knowledge of the other?" He smiled at her and ran his hands up and down her arms and legs while she ran her hands over his well muscled arms. When she leaned down and kissed him she reached over into the nightstand drawer and pulled out a pair of handcuffs. She knew that her breasts were right over his eyes when she did this. She knew they would keep his mind busy as she opened the cuffs and attached it to one of the metal bars on the headboard. She ran her hands up his arms until she maneuvered his right arm where she could slip the handcuffs on his wrist.

Booth pushed her off and pulled himself up closer to the headboard. "Where did you get these from?"

"Same place as my gun." They both said at the same time "The Mall".

"I have got to check this place out." Booth smiled at her. "How did you do that without me noticing?"

"Special Agent Seeley Booth I will now give you very secret information that we women have on how the male of the human species works. I have it on very good authority, from a source that I trust, that when men are thinking of or participating in the sexual act their minds have trouble functioning. Do you know why that is Mr. Booth?"

"I'm pretty sure that I know why but let's see what Angela came up with; because I know that she must be your trusted source."

"Very intuitive of you Mr. Booth." As she was explaining how his body works she was lightly running her fingernail up and down his chest. Each time she went down she went a little lower. "According to my source in order for a man to get what he wants his blood rushes down to his lower extremities which leaves his brains in a standby mode. Not actively functioning but functioning just enough to keep his pulmonary system working and that Special Agent Seeley Booth is why you weren't aware of my maneuvering to acquire the handcuffs in the nightstand." Brennan started kissing him all over. She started with his mouth that her tongue sought entrance to. Booth let go of his control and let her do whatever she wanted to him. There was no one else in the world that he would give that up to, but he trusted this woman with his life. He finally let his self control go completely and Brennan proceeded to give him the best blow job that he had ever experienced. By the time that his blood was finally able to resume feeding his brain again he felt her cleaning him up since he had been on his back when his orgasm practically created an explosion.

When Brennan was through cleaning him up she straddled him again and said "Now who knows who best?"

"I haven't had my turn yet. We can't make a final call yet until I get my turn." Brennan leaned over and grabbed the key for the handcuffs. While she leaned over her breasts presented themselves to Booth again and he didn't pass up the opportunity. He let go of the bar on the headboard that he was holding onto, since the handcuffs were not locked on anymore, and grabbed her around her waist and turned her over so that he was now on top.

"How did you do that?"

"That Dr. Brennan is for me to know and for you to find out. Now be quiet while I get your blood to leave that magnificent brain of yours."

"That doesn't work the same way for the female Booth."

"Not quite the same and not in the same amount but it still works quiet well." He continued to suckle at her breasts and when he heard her moaning he reached down between her legs and found her control switch. When he touched her she felt as though a lightning bolt had traveled up to her brain and gave it a powerful jolt of electricity.

They continued like this through the rest of the night and only stopped when they were exhausted. Brennan listened to him snoring softly as she watched his chest going slowly up and down. She was tired also so she snuggled up closely and rested her head on his arm. Booth automatically pulled her into an embrace and they both went back to sleep.

7:30 AM Monday: Jeffersonian

Booth and Brennan walked into the lab area and her office with two cups of coffee and a couple of bagels with cream cheese. They took a seat at her couch while they had their breakfast. Booth pulled out his cell phone and called the local police. Brennan heard her partner asking them to send someone over to the Jeffersonian to take over the case of the body taken from the bus.

"You're not going to investigate the ID of the body?" Brennan asked as she leaned back on the couch while munching on her bagel.

"No, you guys were doing me a favor and taking care of the body because we thought it was Parkers. Now that we know that it isn't Parker I have to account for the time that I and the rest of you are spending on this case. Normally this would fall under the jurisdiction of the local police so that's why I have to let it go. They'll probably want you to wrap up the body for the coroner to pick up and it can be transferred to the city morgue."

"Okay, I'll go and check on the skull. He probably died on impact from the truck, but I just want to make sure that that is what happened. I doubt it if the coroner has the expertise to determine that and plus they are probably overloaded with cases anyway." Brennan left as soon as she finished off her bagel and coffee. When Brennan left Booth got up and walked over to the steps leading over to the lab platform and sat down and waited for the police to come. The rest of the body of the boy had been placed in a body bag and placed into one of the morgue refrigeration units.

At 8:30 the rest of the workers started coming into the lab. Brennan was on the platform and carefully examining the inside of the skull. She could clearly see where his head had impacted the guard rail that was between the steps to the bus door and the first seat where the boy must have been sitting.

Booth was sitting at the steps when Angela and Hodgins came in. They stood in front of him and just stared at him. Booth just looked at them and said "Oh no!" He ran his hand over his face. He knew he looked worn out from all of his and Bone's activities over the weekend. He just put his head down and hoped that they would go away.

Angela was the first to speak up. "Look how worn out he is."

"The release of all of that sexual tension must have made him explode when he finally got what he has been wanting for so long." Hodgins said with a big grin on his face. Angela went running up to the platform and Brennan while Hodgins sat down next to Booth.

"So how was it? Was it all that you dreamed of?" Hodgins asked as he sat close too Booth so no one else could hear them.

"It was everything that I had dreamed of plus more." Booth said with a big grin on his face.

"When we have time I'll tell you about all of the hiding places that Angela and I have found." Hodgins said with a smile then he jumped up and went up the rest of the way to the platform.

"So tell me Brennan how was it?" Angela asked as she leaned against the table so she could get as close as possible to her friend. Brennan was busy putting on the facial markers on the boys skull when Angela asked her about the weekend.

"I'll tell you later but right now I need for you to draw a face for the boy's skull. Booth has contacted the local police and turned the case over to them. From the information that Parker gave him he is pretty sure that he knows who the boy is so I think it would be good if the police had a picture to show the parents. He said that they are sending someone over to take over the body and the case in a few minutes." Hodgins came over when he heard Brennan.

"But why is he turning over the case to the locals?" Hodgins asked. "He said that normally we wouldn't take care of something like this but we did as a favor to him. Now that we know that it isn't Parker he has to account for his and our time to Cullen. As soon as you're done with the drawing would you give it to the police and Hodgins if you would take the facial markers out of the skull then put it with the rest of the body I would appreciate it."

Angela took the skull as soon as Brennan was done and took it into her office so she could start her drawing.

Down by the steps Booth stood up as two of the local Detectives came in.
