"When you say Maui, you don't mean Maui, Hawaii, do you?" Tempe asked later that night sitting on the couch next to Booth. He had just gotten off the phone with Cullen and seemed a little upset.
"Yes, Bones. Maui, Hawaii. As in a tropical paradise, full of surf, sun and sand. Luaus, S.C.U.B.A. diving, snorkeling, and spending nights on the beach."
"Why there? That's the place most couples go for their honeymoon." She asked looking over the muted TV to see a newscaster reporting something about the bird flu.
"We have to appear we're married, and stay away from the lab."
"I think a ten hour plane flight will do just that." She mumbled turning the TV up so she could here what was going on.
"We leave tomorrow from the airport at ten in the morning, Cullen has our tickets and will have them delivered tomorrow along with 'Tammy the Bulging Tummy' and we should be lifting off by ten thirty."
"What time is our arrival?"
"Three o'clock that evening their time. It will be a very long trip, so bring something to do."
"Why? Don't want me bugging you?" she asked giving him a small smile.
Booth looked at Tempe and closed in on her, his lips were inches from hers and he tried with all his power not to lean forward and kiss her. Though from the look in her eyes, he could tell she begged for him to take the small move and kiss her. Instead he softly whispered in her ear how she could get her new book done so they could have fun on the island. She gave a slight nod, and then turned to the TV to listen on the report given about the bodies that had been found. She had been told by Cam to release some information into the public and done so; however it was done an anonymous tip. Booth had suggested it be done that way.
After a few hours of arguing over who should wake up in the morning first to let the agents in and after they had their things fully packed and ready by the door, Tempe called Angela's cell and left a message about how they would be leaving for their honeymoon to Hawaii and if anything were to come up she was to call right away. After Booth had made sure the doors were locked and the house was quite, they finally made their way into the bed again.
Like the previous night, it was an awkward time. Booth had found a spot on the bed he could steady himself on his side with as Tempe tried many maneuvers to sleep on her stomach while staying a respectful distance from her partner.
After another long and awkward night, Tempe woke up the next morning to find her self sleeping on Booth's chest again. His arm was wrapped around her waist and she found it hard to move. A small knock at the door cause her to force Booth awake and follow him to the door.
Booth tiredly opened the door and came face to face with a few of the other agents. Tempe gave a small smile as they walked into her apartment. She quickly scanned the small group of five men and wondered which one was Agent Brookes. Three of the agents took the baggage's and carried them down to the car while the other two, two of the very few who knew about the case, pulled out a small box and opened it.
Details were given on how Tempe was to put the stomach on and how often she could take it off. She was also told that new ones would arrive for every trimester to make it appear she was growing.
After a half hour to change and shower Tempe and Booth sat in his SUV heading to the airport where they got ready to board the long journey to the other side of the country.
After a long ten hour flight full of sleeping, talk and reading, Booth and Tempe finally arrived in the humid airport of Kahulu the sun provided a small light as it started to take the journey down beyond the horizon. Tempe gave a small gasp as she walked towards the baggage claim and saw the beauty of the island.
"I never thought one place could be so wonderful." She mumbled, though she had seen many beautiful places on her journeys around the world she had never been to one for a vacation with no work involved.
"It really is beautiful." Booth agreed grabbing their bags, then headed for a small building to rent a car.
After picking up the car they headed to the small city of Kihei and towards there hotel where they would be spending their week together. Once entering the room, Tempe made her way into the air conditioned living room and to the balcony where she could see the beach and the many people playing and relaxing.
"Want to go to the beach?" Booth asked coming up behind her startling her.
"Why not? I mean it's nice out and the sun shouldn't be down for another hour or so." She said turning to head towards the room they would share to change.
After they had changed they walked across the small street to the beach.
I know short, but it's about to get good, I hope. Ok I had a lot of people give me ideas as to where they should go and out of all the ones mention I choose to go with Hawaii because it's the only place I've actually been to and can give off some ideas with. Thanks for all your suggestions though, it sounded like a lot of great ideas.
Ok now I'm not really sure how long it takes from D.C. to Maui, but I estimated the time because I went from Cali to DC three years ago and from Cali to Maui last August. So I just figured it all out, I hope I was right. Well please review and I promise to have the next update up soon, thanks for all your support. Love you all
