A/N: So this chapter is kinda short, sorry about that. But I do promise that chapter three is longer. I just thought I would give y'all something to keep ya coming back. So, hope you all enjoy.

Wednesday…

Doctor Temperance Brennan walked through the halls of the Jeffersonian with a happy bounce. The remains discovered on Monday hadn't taken as long to identify as she thought, and yesterday, she was able to give Booth a name, Christopher Winthrop. She knew that he was tracking down the family. Brennan smiled as memories of the night before made their way into her thoughts. Booth had stopped by the lab at around six to gather any information they had, but it's what happened when they meet up around eight at her place that made her smile. Booth had been completely right when he told her not to worry about them being compatible sexually. Since their first encounter four weeks before, their lovemaking had been frequent and…well, she didn't have words to describe it. It was so unlike anything else she had ever had. "Dr. Brennan, may I have a word with you?" Brennan was pulled out of her thoughts by the sound of Doctor Camille Saroyan's voice.

"Do I have much of a choice?" Brennan asked.

Cam bit back the words that she wanted to say. "About Booth."

"What about him?"

"You know something about his new…girlfriend."

"Is that a statement or a question?" Brennan asked.

"Both," Cam replied. "Booth told me Monday that you knew about her. I want to know what you know about her."

Brennan shook her head. "I'm afraid I can't tell you anything, Dr. Saroyan."

"Oh, come on, Doc, he won't know."

"No. First off, if he found out I was gossiping he would get mad. Secondly, what he told me about his girlfriend is between us as friends. It was told to me away from work and thus has no bearings on what goes on here." Brennan gave a curt nod, and then began to walk away.

"I'll find out," Cam called after her. "And when I do," she added softly to herself.

"And what?" Brennan asked, surprising both of them by turning back around. "Say you do find out about the woman he's seeing, what does it matter? Booth is happy," Brennan continued. "So what's your problem with that?"

"My problem, Dr. Brennan is I don't think Booth can ever be happy in a serious relationship."

"And why not?"

"He's too much of a free spirit."

"That may be so, Dr. Saroyan," Brennan began, "but for right now he's happy. And as his friend, that's what matters." With that, Brennan walked away.

"Hey there, Bones," Booth said when she opened her apartment door.

"Hi," she answered right before he captured her lips. "How was your day?" she asked as Booth walked in passed her.

"Good," he answered. "I tracked down Christopher Winthrop's family. You up to meeting with them tomorrow?"

"Absolutely," Brennan said. Booth turned back to her and pulled her into his arms.

"I missed you today."

"You saw me at lunch," Brennan said, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Yeah, but that doesn't count," he answered.

"And why is that?" Booth peaked her on the mouth.

"No kisses," he told her and then seized her lips.

"Down, boy," Brennan teased as she broke the kiss. "I have dinner cooking."

"So what we having?" Booth asked letting her go.

"Chicken," she answered as Booth made his way to the couch. "Dr. Saroyan cornered me in the hallway today."

"About what?" Booth asked, watching her come back into the living room.

"You," Brennan said, walking over to him. "About your girlfriend."

"And what did you say?" Booth asked, reaching up, grabbing her wrist and pulling her down to him.

"That you were happy and that it wasn't any of her business." Booth kissed her lips. "She also said that she couldn't see you being happy in a serious relationship."

"Little does she know." Booth ran his hand up Brennan's thigh and then under her shirt.

"Seeley," Brennan warned, wiggling from his grip. "I've got dinner on." Booth gave her a lazy smile.

"Sorry, Tempe." Brennan shook her head but returned his smile. "Sounds like you handled it pretty good, but seems like people are getting close. Maybe we should think about telling the squints."

"I don't know, Booth."

"We have to tell them sooner or later. Why not Friday when I pick you up?"

"Tell you what, I'll think about it."

Later that night, they laid in her bed, Brennan with her head resting on his chest, and Booth gently stoking her hair. "Seeley," Brennan said softly, snuggling closer to him.

"Umm."

"I think you're right."

"Clarify about what," he teased, "so I can write this date down." Brennan swatted him on the chest, and then propped herself up to look in his eyes.

"I think we should tell Angela."

"You know that means everybody at work will know, right?" Booth questioned. "Are you ready for what all that will mean?" Brennan titled her head to one side slightly and stared into Booth's chocolate colored eyes.

"Yeah," she finally said with a nod. "Like you said, they'll all find out sooner or later. And I think it's best if Angela hears it from me, and not from somebody who sees us together."

"And it'll totally piss Cam off," Booth added with a smile.

"I assure you, Booth, that my reasons for wanting to come clean are more about Angela's feeling's than Dr. Saroyan." Booth raised both eyebrows at her. "Okay, so maybe she has a little to do with it." Booth laughed, gathered her up in his arms and kissed her on top of the head.

"I love you, you know that right?"

"You tell me everyday, Booth, how could I not know?"

"I just want to make sure you never forget. No matter what, I'm going to love you." Brennan stretched up and kissed him on the lips.

"I know that, Seeley," she said. "You just remember that next time you're aggravated with me."

"Deal," he answered and then kissed her.
