"I can't believe he asked you sex questions." Abby said with a giggle as she looked over at a blushing Zack who just sipped away at his drink. "I mean I know I've asked my fair share of sex questions but really after only knowing the man for what?"
"Couple of months." Booth answered with a smile. "It was like what my third case with you guys?"
"Jesus Kid you couldn't wait could you?" Tony said with a grin as he took a swig of his beer.
"If I could defend myself." Zack spoke up. "I didn't necessarily ask a sex question. I simply asked if it were possible to discuss certain Sexual positions with him." Everyone stayed silent for a moment before Brennan finally cracked and burst into laughter.
"You didn't." Ziva said in between giggles.
"Yeah he did." Angela answered fanning herself. Gibbs just grinned as he looked at the group that had gathered at his backyard.
"Oh god you should've seen Booth's face after that. I seriously thought Zack was going to die that day." Jack said holding his face. "My face hurts."
"Too easy." Cam said looking over at him. Jack just looked at his boss who smiled at him.
"So Mr. Booth what was your reaction to all of this." Ducky asked looking over at the agent. Booth grinned as he shook his head looking down.
"Well Ducky….. I uh…. I pretty much told the kid that I'd shoot him if he even attempted to ask." Tony and McGee choked on their beers while Jenny and the rest of the girls burst into laughter again. Gibbs just shook his head. "I had my hand on my gun and everything."
"Oh my god." Ziva said placing her hand over her mouth as she tried to get her laughter under control. The rest of the night was spent sharing embarrassing or hilarious moments or rather hilarious and embarrassing moments of one Anthony DiNozzo.
"Alright I think that's enough of the stories." Tony said as he got up from the table.
"But Tony my fingers are Finging." McGee said with a smile on his face. The table broke into laughter.
"Didn't you have a broken arm that time?"
"Yeah I did."
"Want it broken again?" The two agents stared at one another before they felt a familiar sting in the back of their heads.
"Knock it off." Gibbs muttered as he walked over to the grill. He stared out into the night looking at the stars that we're visible and planes that flew across the Washington sky. "Temperance." He said keeping his attention to the sky.
"How did you know it was me?" She asked truly surprised.
"Sniper's intuition." He said with a shrug. "Having a good time?"
"Yes….You have a lovely home." She said breaking the small period of silence.
"Thank you." The stood in silence again both of them taking an occasional swig from their drink.
"So….. You and Seeley?" Brennan nodded as she began to play with the label on the beer bottle. She didn't know why but she suddenly felt really nervous which was ridiculous and strange to her. Gibbs could sense her nervousness. "Everything alright Dr. Brennan?"
"Yes, and please call me Temperance Mr. Gibbs."
"Only if you call me Jethro." He said with a chuckle. Brennan smiled back before turning back to look at the night sky. "Something on your mind Temperance?" She was about to shake her he4ad no but instead found herself asking the nagging question that had been burning in the back of her head all afternoon.
"Is Booth ashamed of me?"
"Why would you ask that?" He asked straightening up. Brennan looked down at the ground.
"I don't know" She said with a shrug
"Temperance listen to me." Gibbs said in a low voice that got her attention. "Seeley isn't nor will he ever and I mean ever be ashamed of you."
"But he kept you hidden from me, he never once mentioned the fact that he had more family let alone family in Washington."
"He was just following orders."
"I don't understand." He took a deep breath.
"There are people in this world who would give anything to see me suffer….. Just like there are people who would like to see Seeley suffer." Gibbs looked down at the ground. "Now I know that's no excuse for what we did and believe me when I tell you this." Brennan kept her attention on him as he looked back at her. "The very first time Booth mentioned you I already knew he was in love."
"How?" She challenged.
"Gut Feeling." Brennan couldn't help but laugh causing Gibbs to smile.
"I Guess that's who Booth got that famous Gut Feeling from huh?"
"Hereditary Dr. Brennan…. Your Kids will likely have it As well." He said before giving her one last smile as he walked away. Brennan's eyes widened as she watched his retreating form she then looked down at her stomach and placed a hand smiling as she gently rubbed.
"Everything alright Jethro?" Jenny asked as she eyed her husband.
"Everything's fine Jen." He turned his attention to his Nephew who was staring at his girlfriend. The night wore on and the laughter and drinks kept pouring on until finally Jenny yawned causing Gibbs to let out a whistle. "Alright Tomorrow 0900 hours at the Hoover."
"Boss are you actually saying we have to step into enemy territory?" Tony asked in surprise.
"Tomorrow DiNozzo." Tony Nodded along with McGee. "Well everyone it's been nice having you hear but It's time for you to head out." No one argued as they got up. The group all said their goodbyes as they made their way to the yard door that lead to the street. Jenny and Brennan shared a hug while Booth shook Gibb's hand.
"It was lovely meeting you Seeley." Jenny said looking up at the FBI Agent.
"It was very Nice meeting you Aunt Jenny." Booth leaned down and gave her a hug which brought a smile to both Gibbs and Temperance. Brennan looked over at Gibbs who nodded causing her to do the same. "See you tomorrow Gibbs." Booth shouted as him and Brennan made their way down the driveway towards their SUV. Gibbs and Jenny waived goodbye before walking back to their home hand in hand. The Drive to the apartment was quiet as Booth kept his attention to the road. Brennan watched through her window at the passing scenery change from house to trees, she occasionally looked over at Booth who would return her gaze with a smile. The sound of Gibb's voice echoing in her head as she placed her hands on her stomach with a smile on her face.
