I do not own these characters. These character belongs to Hart Hanson and Fox. I want to thank you all for you wonderful reviews. Here is the next chapter. This chapter is pretty long and I really didn't mean it to be this long. I still hope you like it.
It was Monday morning and Bones was actually looking forward to going to work because she's been dying to tell Angela about her good news. She decided to tell Angela first because she's her best friend and then Booth and her will tell the group at lunchtime. Bones got up first and went into the bathroom to take a shower. While in the shower Booth woke up and put his robe on to go outside to get the morning paper. He waved to his neighbors and rush back in because it was a little bit chilly out. When he came back in he set the paper on the table and set the coffee machine on and made coffee for Bones and himself. He then went to get the ingredients to make pancakes. While making the pancakes he read the morning paper in between flipping the pancakes over. After a while they were done he put them on a big plate. Then he got out strawberries and cut them up and put them in a bowl. He knew Bones likes powder sugar on her pancakes so he poured a little in a small bowl so she can put some on her pancakes. A few minutes later Bones walks down stairs and walks up to Booth.
"Good Morning Booth" she says with a smile
"Morning beautiful" he says then leans in to give her a gentle kiss, "How is my lovely Fiancée doing this morning?"
"I'm great" she says then leans in and kisses him. They break apart "I'm looking forward to telling Angela about our great news. I know she will be very excited to hear about it"
"I know she will be thrilled. Do you want me to be there with you when you tell her, or do you just want to tell her yourself? It doesn't matter to me"
"I think it would be nice if I told her myself because I know she will want details and I know you, you might not want to give them out" she laughs
"haha oh Bones! Alright I'll let you tell Angela yourself."
"Thanks Booth. So I smell the pancakes you made. I'm hungry, do you mind if I eat some?"
"Of course not Bones. You go ahead and eat and I'll get Christine up and get her ready for the day."
"Aww thanks Booth" she smiles
"No problem, I made coffee too..." he walks over to the cabinet to get Bones' coffee cup and pours it for her, "Here you go. Oh and I poured some powder sugar for you for your pancakes."
"Aww thanks Booth, you are the best" she smiles and then leans in to kiss him
"I know I am," he laughs "But hey we make a good match because you are the best too" he winks at her. She winks back and smiles.
"Well, I should go and get Christine ready. It's going to be fun getting her dress. I love that she's at the stage that she thinks she can dress herself.
Bones laughs "Haha, yeah but she's learning"
"Haha, yeah" Booth laughs and heads upstairs
Bones brings her coffee, the bowl of Strawberries, the bowl filled with powder sugar and takes it to the table. She opens the morning paper and starts reading it. About 15 minutes later Booth carries Christine downstairs. He sets a half awaken Christine in her seat.
"Bones surprisingly Christine was still sleeping when I went into her room. She must have been really tired last night." Booth states when he put Christine in her chair
"Ohh I guess she should have been put to bed earlier" Bones states
"No Mommy I'm awake see" Christine widens her eyes and sits up
Bones giggles "Alright Christine"
Booth steps in "Bones I'm going to go up and take a quick shower and get ready for work. I'll be back soon."
"Okay Booth" she smiles and gives him a sweet kiss. He smiles and leans down and kiss Christine on her head then walks upstairs.
"Okay Christine you should eat. Let me get you your breakfast." Bones gets up and gets Christine's plate and pours her some juice. She then puts two pancakes on her plate, then places some strawberries on top and sprinkles some powder sugar on top. She cuts up her food so she can eat it easier.
"Here you go Christine. Eat up so you can be big and strong like your father and I." she states and sits next to her at the table.
Christine smiles and says "Thank you mommy. I want to be just like you and daddy when I grow up."
Bones laughs "haha aww sweetie you can be whoever you want. I will still love you no matter what."
Christine takes a bit of her food and then says, "I want to caught the bad guys just like you and daddy. You are good guys and good guys always win." She says and takes another bite
"Haha aww sweetie you're right, but you have a while to decided but I'm happy to hear that you want to be good like us."
"Yes mommy, you and daddy are like superheroes. That's what Michael says"
"Haha oh really? What else does Michael say?" Bones asks her daughter
"He says that you guys are like superheroes and his parents help you caught the bad guys." Christine says
Bones giggles, "yeah Aunt Angela and Uncle Hodgins do help us."
"Yeah and one day Michael and I are going to be just like you guys"
"So it's turning into a family business type of thing?" Bones asks
"Huh? I don't know what that means" Christine replies
"Hahaha! Oh nothing, just go finish up your breakfast. You're father should be coming down soon."
"Okay mommy" Christine says and takes a bite of her food
Bones gets up from the table and makes a plate for Booth. She sets the food on the table and starts to clean up. Booth comes downstairs and walks into the kitchen. Bones hears him and turns around.
"Hey Booth I made a plate for you. It's on the table so you should eat. We need to go soon." Bones says when he enters the room
"Thanks Bones" he says when he walks up to booth and leans in to give her a quick kiss. His face was freshly shaved and his cologne was intoxicating. She loves the smell of Booth's cologne. Bones brings one hand to Booth's face and slowly caresses his soft shaven cheek. She lingers in more to the kiss. After a few seconds they break apart.
"Wow Bones, umm well I should get some food. I don't want to starve," he says
Bones giggles, "Yeah, plus I need to get mine and Christine stuff pack up so we can leave."
Bones walks away and Booth stood there a little confused.
"Daddy why are you standing there? Aren't you going to eat?" Christine asks
"Oh right" he sits down and eats his food.
"So Christine are you looking forward to daycare?" Booths ask his daughter after taking a bite of his food.
"Yay! I get to see Michael! He's fun to play with. He's really good at painting pictures," Christine explains
"Really, I guess it runs in the family" Booth says and then takes another bite
"I don't know what that means" Christine replies
"Haha oh nothing, so Michael can paint. Does he paint anything for you?"
"Oh no, he gives it to his mommy."
"Oh that's nice. What else to you and Michael do?"
"We play on the playground a lot and we have snacks together."
"That's nice so you and Michael are good friends then?" Booth asks his daughter
"Yes, we're best friend!" she says
"That's wonderful" he smiles
Bones came back with her bag and Christine's bag for daycare.
"Alright Booth we should go. I want to try to get there before Angela and Hodgins"
"Haha alright Bones" he says and gets up and places both his and Christine's dishes in the sink
Booth walks over to Bones and takes Christine bag from her. He places it on his shoulder. Bones goes and gets both her and Christine jackets. Christine goes to her mother and puts on her jacket with a little help from Bones. When Booth notices that they are all set he grabs his keys and heads to the door and opens it for Bones. He waits for both his girls to get out and locks it. Bones opens the SUV and places her bag in first and then helps Christine get buckled into her booster seat. Booth enters the car and once Bones is in he starts the car. They leave and head to the Jeffersonian. On the way the Booth family had small talk in the car. When they arrive Booth and Bones took Christine to daycare. Bones looked around to see if she saw Michael and she didn't so she was happy. After saying the goodbyes Booth walked Bones to her office. When they entered her office Bones sets her bag next to her chair.
"Now Bones are you sure you want to tell Angela by yourself? Booth asks
"Yeah Booth. Thanks for being concern about it, but it will be okay," she says with a smile
"Alright, well I should get to the office. I'll be back at lunchtime and then we can tell everyone about our good news"
Bones smiles and leans into Booth "Sounds good to me. I'm looking forward to it"
Booth leans down and captures her lips. After a few minutes they part and Booth leaves her office. Bones walks over to her computer and opens her e-mail. She goes over it and reads them. After reading her mail she was hoping Angela was in her office. She picks up her office phone and calls Angela.
"Hello Sweetie" Angela answers
"Hello Angela, I'm glad you're in"
"Why Sweetie" she questions
"I have something to tell you so would you please come over?"
"Yeah of course, I'll be right over" Angela says and hangs up
Angela walks over to Bone's office. When Bones see her she gets up from her chair and walks over to her door
"Hey Angela, thanks for coming over you can take a seat on the couch," Bones says and closes the door behind her. She then walks over to her couch and sits next to Angela
"What's up Sweetie? You have something to tell me?"
"Yes I do and it's something I think you will be very happy about"
"OMG are you pregnant again!"
"No Ange!"
"Then what?" Angela asks
"Well over the weekend I'd proposed to Booth and now we're engaged to be married," she says with a smile
"OMG! FINALLY!" she laughs "I'm so happy for you and Booth! So how did you proposed? And what made you change your mind about marriage? And where is the ring!" she exclaims
"Haha oh Ange, I didn't want anyone to see the ring until I told them so I put it on a necklace." She says while she pulls it out from under her blouse and shows it to Angela.
"Oh wow Sweetie it's gorgeous! Did Booth pick it out for you?"
"No, Booth and I went out together and picked it out it. I didn't want anything to fancy, and when I saw this I absolutely loved it. Booth was okay with the price so he bought it for me."
"Aww that's great Sweetie! It's really beautiful and it's a ring that really fits with your style. So how did you proposed?"
"Well, it was a couple of nights ago and it wasn't planned, well sort of. It all got started when I was watching Booth and Christine playing on the playground in the back of our house. I was getting dinner ready and I saw them outside. Christine was having so much fun with Booth and I could see that Booth was having a good time as well. While I was watching them I came to a realization that I want to marry Booth and spend the rest of my life with him. I love him so much and he taught me so much over the years about love and family. If it wasn't for him I don't think I would have ever consider marriage. I see now why he believes in it and I want that."
"Aww Sweetie that is great" Angela says with a huge smile
Bones smiles and continues, " Yeah and so that night I'd proposed to him. When he took Christine to bed I got out some candles and arranged them in the family room. Then I'd turn the lights down to make it romantic. I saw this on TV and thought it was nice so that's why I did it for the proposal. When he came down that's when I'd proposed. I was a little nervous but I knew Booth would accept my proposal. It was an irrational feeling, but I couldn't help myself with the feeling."
"It's okay to be nervous Sweetie, but that's a really romantic way to propose. Good job Brennan! I'm so happy for you!"
"Thanks Ange, so... I have a question for you Angela... Will you be my maiden of honor? I want my best friend standing next to me"
Angela's eyes got teary "OMG are you kidding? I will be honored to be your maiden of honor" she says then hugs Bones.
Bones hugs back "Thank you Angela"
"Aww no problem Sweetie"
"Can you do me one more thing Ange?"
"Sure anything" Angela responds back
"Will you keep this news to yourself until Booth and I tell the rest at lunch today?"
"Yeah of course!"
"Thanks Ange, I just wanted to tell you first because you're my best friend and you're like a sister to me."
"Aww thanks Sweetie, I love you too" she smiles
Bones smiles "Well I should get to work"
"Yeah I guess I should get to work to, but it's going to be hard to focus now because of the big news. I can't stop smiling. I'm just so happy for you Brennan!"
Bone giggles "haha, yeah I know what you mean. Ever since we got engaged I've been very happy and cant stop smiling"
"Awww that's great Sweetie. I hope lunch time comes by fast because I don't know how long I can hold this excitement in"
"Haha, oh Ange!"
"Well I should go," she says while getting up from the couch, "I'll talk to you soon"
"Okay and Thanks Ange"
Angela smiles and walks out of Bones office. Bones gets up from her couch and goes back to her desk. She goes over her e-mails again. When she's done with her e-mail she goes down to limbo and picks out a skeleton and try to figure out who the victim was. A few hours past. Around noon Booth walks into the lab. He walks to Bones office but doesn't see her there. Then he walks into Angela office to see if she knows.
"Hey Angela, do you know where Bones is?"
"Oh hey Booth, yeah she's in limbo trying to identify one of the victims." she says with a huge smile
"Thanks Angela!"
"No problem and congrats!"
"Oh Thanks, don't tell anyone okay"
"My lips are sealed. I'm very happy for you and Brennan. It's finally happening."
"Haha, yeah. Thanks again Angela" he says and walks away
He walks towards limbo. When he sees Bones looking at one of the bones he just stands there and admires her presence. Bones sensing his presence she lifts her head up and smiles at him.
"Hey Bones, are you ready," he ask
"Yeah" she says and puts down the fibular bone on the table. She then walks up to Booth.
"Angela was very happy about the news" Bones states
Booth smiles "I thought she would. We should go and tell the rest of the people. I want you to wear your ring on your hand and show it off."
"Sure you do. I think you want me to wear it because the alpha male of you wants to show the rest of them that I'm taken."
"Haha on Bones, I just want you to wear it because it's beautiful. A beautiful women should wear her beautiful ring."
Bones smiles and leans up to kiss Booth "Aww Booth, well I do want to wear it so we should go"
"After you"
Bones smiles and heads out. Booth follows after. Bones goes to her office to take off her lab coat.
"Booth I think we should tell everyone at the founding fathers"
"Okay Bones do you want to tell your people and I'll call Sweets and Caroline?"
"Yeah, I'll be right back"
"Alright, I'm calling Sweets now."
Bones walks around the lab and told Angela, Hodgins, and Cam to meet her and Booth at the Founding Father for lunch. They all agreed and Bones goes back to her office.
"Okay Booth they will meet us there. We should go"
"Alright Bones. Sweets and Caroline agreed too."
Bones grabs her bag and then walks out and Booth follows behind. When they get there everyone is already there and seating at a table. Booth and Bones walk over to them.
"Thanks guys for agreeing to meet with us for lunch" Bones says after taking a seat.
"Sure Dr. Brennan, why did you ask all of us to lunch?" Cam asks
"Haha what we can't ask our friends to lunch without being something?" Booths asks
"What, ahh no... I was just curious" Cam replies
Bones turns to Booth "Booth stop teasing Cam..." She turns to face Cam "Yeah Cam there is reason for this lunch"
She smiles and turns to Angela who smiles back " Booth and I have news"
"Are you pregnant Dr. B?" Hodgins asks
"No Hodgins" she giggles remembering Angela saying the exact same thing to her when she told Angela.
"Oh, sorry so what is" Hodgins asks
Bones looks over to Booth and smiles. He smiles back knowing that Bones is mentally telling him to say the good news.
"Well everyone... Bones and I are engaged!" Booth exclaims
"OMG!" coming from basically everyone at the tables
Angela is the first one up to hug Bones "Finally you get your happy ending Sweetie. I'm so happy for you and Booth. You deserve this happiness" she says and hugs her best friend.
"Thanks Ange" Bones responds back
"And you Booth you better take care of my best friend you hear me?" she smiles and then hugs him
"Yes Angela I will" Booth says
Cam is the next person to get up "Congratulations you two!" Cam says and hugs Booth and Brennan.
"Congrats Man! Congrats Dr. B." He hugs Bones then shakes Booths hands.
Sweets says, "I knew you two would finally get married. I'm so happy for you and Dr. Brennan." he shakes Booths hand and then hugs Bones.
"Congrats Booth and Dr. Brennan. I also knew you two would finally end this charade and get married." Caroline says with a smile
"Thanks everyone, I'm very happy and I know Booth is thrilled. We're very fortunate to have friends like you." Bones says
"Yeah thanks guys. It's really a pleasure," Booth adds
"So have you guys set a date yet" Angela ask after everyone took their seats again"
"Not yet, we still have to figure out when it is a good time." Bones answers
"Yeah Bones and I need to discuss the date. We I don't know about you guys but I'm hungry" Booth says
"I am too Booth, we should all order food" Bone adds
"Yeah I'm with Dr. B on that request too" Hodgins says
"Well, congrats again guy" Cam says and then takes one of the menus.
Everyone else takes a menu and orders their food. The rest of lunch hour consist of small talk and laughter. They all reminisce about Booth and Bones and shared their stories.
