Chapter 2: Reunited

As I exited the terminal, I could see Angela, Cam, Hodgins and Sweets waiting for me. And entering from the other end was Booth. He was ready to walk up to the group when he glanced my way; he took one step and looked again, then froze in place.

For what seemed like forever, neither of us moved. With his gaze locked on mine. I knew I should say something, anything, but nothing came out.

All I could do was stare as memories came rushing back, our first case, the bar, the kiss… everything.

"Bones."

It wasn't until he spoke that I had realized that I was just as speechless as he was. All at once, I broke into a wide smile. A moment later, I could feel myself jogging towards him. Once I had reached him, I wrapped my arms around him and felt his body warm and welcoming.

"I missed you." I told him after a while of standing there in complete silence.

"I missed you too, Bones." He said as he pulled his face down to mine, almost instantly I locked my lips onto his.

"Marry me." He mumbled against my lips.

"Don't you need a ring or something?" I asked him before going back for more. He laughed and replied; "I will take that as a 'yes'."

"Okay."

I smiled when I heard Angela's long, high pitched squeal along with Cam's "Oh. My. God." And Hodgins' "It's about time."

I was home.
