Authors Note: Hey everyone thanks for taking the time to read my story, this is the final chapter so I hope you enjoy. Kudos to everyone who figured out that the last scene in the last chapter was from "The Cutting Edge 2: Going for the Gold" I love that movie. Naturally though, I couldn't include that part and not include the part I have included below. So if you've seen the movie you'll know what is coming, shh… don't tell anyone. Much Love
Here's to the Nights
The lights reflected softly in the tear as it fell from her usually bright blue eyes, and slid down her cheek. She didn't bother to wipe it away, and instead it dripped from her chin right onto the exact spot where she was currently scrawling her signature. All of a sudden she could tell she was no longer alone, she didn't need to ask who it was she knew.
"Booth, go away" she said not looking up at him, instead moving the paper she had just signed to the side, revealing another and she began to sign that one.
"Bones… can we talk…" he asked, he was nervous and kept looking at his hands. Still she would not look at him.
"I think I've said all I need to say." She couldn't understand why he was here. Hadn't he made his feelings perfectly clear while she was at the apartment? She took all of the papers she had been working on, gathered them up into a pile and hit them on the desk to straighten them out.
"Just let me explain…" he started but was cut off.
"I don't want to hear it." She said as she held out her hand holding the papers she had been signing. "These are the last of the case files, once you sign them, you can leave and we never have to see each other again." She kept her hand out waiting for him to take them. She didn't want to look at him; she couldn't look at him.
"Is that really what you want?" he asked as he walked over so he was standing directly in front of her desk.
"Yes." She said.
"Okay…" he said as he put his hand on top of hers as if to take the files. "There's just one problem though." This got her attention and she looked up at him, catching his gaze for the first time.
"What" she said barely audible.
"I'm in love with you Bones, I love you and I couldn't stay away if I tried." He said with a small smile searching her blue eyes for some sort of answer. For her part, Brennan had no clue what to say, she had been prepared for many things 'Bones, I'm with Cam now' 'I don't love you anymore', many things, but not this. For once in her life she decided to stop analyzing and listen to the advice a very wise person once told her: 'Follow your heart'. Booth had made his way around the desk and was now standing directly in front of her. She stood up so she was staring into his eyes.
"I love you too Booth" she said and she smiled a little. Booth couldn't stop the huge goofy grin that spread across his face. He had never been so happy in his life. He put his hands on either side of her head and pulled her face to his. Slowly he began to kiss her, her eyes snapped shut and she just savored the moment. When his hands slid under her shirt, she decided to stop. It's not that she didn't want to, just here. She pulled away and threw him a brilliant smile, a look that was reserved only for him.
"Let's go to my place." She said with a mischievous grin.
"What, why? Can't we go to my place?" he said, he didn't really want to go to his place he just wanted to see if they could still bicker like always.
"No! We went to your place last time." She said fake punching him in the arm and then stepping away from him. "It's my turn, you can have next time." She said with a small smirk and he reached out to grab her but she jumped away.
"Come over here." He demanded, in a low gravely voice.
"Only if you can catch me!" she said playfully as she switched off the light in her office and dashed down the hall. It only took him a minute to register what she had said and take off after her. He chased her all the way through the halls of the Jeffersonian, both laughing and out of breath. She stopped at the entrance and went into sort of a giggle fit. He came running in, scooped her up into his arms and twirled her around. When he stopped she leaned in and kissed him, she was about to deepen the kiss when she heard someone clear his or her throat. Booth spun around with her in his arms.
"Oh, hey, Jimmy" he said as he hurriedly put Brennan down, she straightened out her shirt and pants subconsciously. Jimmy's look of shock slowly turned into a grin.
"Hey," he said now grinning fully, he couldn't help it that was the most interesting thing he'd seen all day.
"Well…" said Brennan awkwardly. "Were gonna get going, bye Jimmy, have a good night." She said quickly as she turned and headed for the door.
"You kids behave yourselves." Said Jimmy with an eyebrow raise.
"Can't promise you that Jim-Bo," said Booth with a wink as he followed Brennan out the door. As soon as they were both out side, she bursts out laughing. He looked at her strangely first but the sound of her laughter was contagious. Soon they were making their way to his car, holding each other up because they were laughing so hard. The parking lot was deserted only a few cars remained, along the sidewalk an elderly woman passed by with her dog.
"Come on Lulu, let's get out of here." She whispered as she pulled her dog and hurried past them giving them extremely strange look. This just made them laugh harder, they were both aware of how crazy they must look, but they didn't care. When they got to the car most of the laughter had subsided. Booth unlocked his car and Brennan got in the passenger's seat and Booth took the drivers seat. Brennan sighed, rubbing her sides as he started the car.
"I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life" she said with a smile.
"I don't think I've ever even seen you laugh." He said turning to look at her before looking back to the road. Her eyes were sparkling and her cheeks were flushed from all the laughter, at that moment he knew she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life.
"Maybe, that's because I subconsciously remembered how much it hurts." she said rubbing her aching sides.
"I think I know a way to help." He said as he took his hand off the steering wheel and started to lightly massage her side. That sent a chill up her spine and she shivered a little. "Oh, Sorry I know my hand is cold." He said sheepishly.
"No, no its not that…" she said then stopped, her eyes found his and Booth's car started to drift into oncoming traffic "Booth, road!!!" she shouted.
"Shit!" he said as he swerved the wheel to get back into his rightful lane.

"Booth, I told you not to make me laugh." She said laughing and clutching her sides as they pulled into her apartment complex.
"I'm not kidding, that really happened." He said laughing too.
"What did his teacher say?" she asked still giggling a little.
"She was one of those old nuns, and she said to me 'Young man, did you teach him that' and of course I burst out laughing. Which only earned me a glare, needless to say I don't get invited to parent-teacher conferences anymore." Said Booth laughing at the memory of the old nun's face twisted up in anger. Booth parked the car, then just turned and watched Brennan laugh. He loved the way she was now, carefree and spontaneous.
"What?" she asked looking at him in confusion.
"Nothing" he said as he opened the door. "I just think you are the most beautiful woman I've ever met." He said when she joined him outside the car. She fake punched him again.
"You don't mean that." She said playfully, she'd seen some of the women he went out with.
"I wouldn't say it if I didn't," he said seriously.
They stopped in front of her apartment and he watched her dig in her purse for her keys. Her eyes told him instantly when she found them, before she even took them out. When she looked up at him, he leaned down and kissed her.
"I still can't believe I can do that whenever I want." He said smiling and pulling her toward him so their sides were touching. She wriggled free of his grasp and unlocked the door. She started to go in but then turned around.
"You better get used to it." She said with a suggestive eyebrow raise. He watched her walk in hips swaying, tempting him.
"Oh, believe me I will" he said quietly, before he followed her inside.
The End

Sorry, I know this chapter was supposed to be M, and I had planned on it to be, but when you come across the perfect ending line you can't pass it up. And I personally loved that ending line. Don't worry though I have another multi-chapter fic I am thinking about writing that will have M parts. You haven't seen the last of me MUHAHAHAHAHA (cough, cough) I just can't do that like I used too. Oh, and also since I got such an excellent response to Mathers, Felix, and Clearwater, I am thinking of making them appear in little cameos in some of my other fics I will write. I would just like to thank all of you who reviewed and made a new author feel right at home. I know it's cliché but I would be nothing without you guys!!! Much Love…
