im gonna post like three chapters tonight to try to finish this sucker...lol!!!

"Bones, come on we are going to be late!"

Brennan rolled her eyes, and ran to catch up with Booth. "Booth, our plane doesn't leave for one hour…we will be fine."

"Security Bones, we have to go through security."

"We don't have to go through all of that, I can take care of that." Brennan walked up to the security officer, and flashed her badge. Booth and Brennan were free to enter the airport.

"Whoa Bones! That was nice."

"I don't see how that action relates to kindness…"

"Figure of speech Bones, it means good job."

"Of course Booth, you always use those meaningless sayings don't you?"

"Is it so bad to act human?"

"Is it so bad to want to rationalize things?" The argument was stopped at the gate.

"Thank you Agent Booth and Dr. Brennan for flying with us today…anything you need?"

Brennan smiled. "No, just for you to let me board."

The woman nodded, and allowed them on the plane.

"Here we go Bones!"

Brennan rolled her eyes. "It's as if this is the first time for you."

Booth stared at her indignantly. "What's wrong with trying to enjoy all the small pleasures life has to offer?"

"When you begin acting like you are five."

"How am I acting like I am five?"

"You are so excited about a routine flight Booth…how are you not like a five year old?"

"I resent that comment. Just because…" The bickering continued through the wait until take off.

------------------------

Cam smiled and turned around so she was facing Matt, who was sleeping soundly. She touched his cheek with her lips, and he woke up smiling. "Good morning babe."

Cam smiled, and responded. "Good morning yourself."

Matt smiled and pulled her into him. He had waited so long for her to see him. She had always been obsessed with her on and off ex, Booth. He was just happy that she knew that she and him were meant to be together.

"I am going to make some coffee, want some?"

Matt smiled. "Do we need to wake up just yet?"

Cam laughed. "You're right…"

Matt smiled at Cam, as she turned the lamp off. " Cam, I love you."

Cam smiled, taking in the feeling of belonging and love. "I love you Matt." And if I don't now, I will soon…

-------------------------------------

Brennan looked out the window and bit her lip. She couldn't wait to be back in D.C.

"Hey Bones, whatchya looking at?"

Brennan turned to Booth. "Look at the cloud formations, the way that the-"

"Never mind Bones…never mind."

Brennan smiled and returned to her thoughts, which were in no way related to cloud formations. I wonder how Angela and Hodgins are…I wonder if Angela thinks Booth and I did something we didn't…I wonder if I wished we had done something we didn't…I wonder…I wonder why the flight attendant hasn't given me a drink yet. Brennan sighed.

Booth was pretending to read a magazine, but was also lost in his own thoughts. I wonder if she really loves me…I wonder if she is ready for a relationship…I wonder what I will do if she isn't…I wonder why the flight attendant hasn't stopped by yet. Both were relieved when a woman with the refreshment tray stopped in front of them.

"Diet Coke please." Brennan immediately said.

Booth smiled at the lady. "I will have a Dr. Pepper, please."

The lady gave them their drinks and their peanuts and left. Booth smiled, and opened his peanuts. Stealthily, he flicked one at Brennan who almost spilled her drink on herself in shock. Booth laughed, until he was hit on the head with a peanut.

"Oh, so that's how you want it huh?"

Brennan grinned and egged Booth on. "Yes sir, Special Agent Booth."

Booth grinned as well. "Well then it's war."

-----------------------------------

Brennan waited for Booth to collect the necessary paper work.

"Okay, ready to interrogate some criminals?"

Brennan smiled seductively. "I was born ready."

Booth smiled. "Got it right Bones, good job!" He said in order to hide how much her voice and smile had made him feel. He was so nervous about being around her, he almost ran into the door. Take it easy Seeley…take it easy…

"So who is first?"

Booth was startled out of his thoughts by her question. "The girl, Megan."

Brennan nodded and followed him into the room. The girl sat at the table, crying softly.

"Hey Megan…how are you doing?" She nodded at Booth who understood and smiled. "We have some questions for you okay?"

"Can the lady hug me again?" Booth looked at Brennan, who looked nervous. She was afraid she would screw it up, but Booth's reassuring glance encouraged her and she walked over to the girl, scooping her up in her arms.

"Okay Megan?" Brennan asked, and the girl nodded. Booth admired them for a few minutes, and was amazed at what he was seeing. She seemed, although it seemed impossible, even more beautiful with a child in her arms.

"Booth? Are you going to start?"

Booth nodded, and began questioning. "So what happened on the night that Sammy was killed?"

Megan sniffed loudly and tightened her grip on Brennan. "Well, Mr. Sammy's daddy was walking to the studio, and he said that my mommy had allowed him to pick me up. My mommy told me I was going with Sammy, so I just got in the car. Then we started driving, with Sammy in the front seat…center of attention…until we got to a park. Me and Sammy looked at each other, and were confused. But her daddy told us we were going to play a game with him. So we got out, and he found a big rock, and said we were going to play catch. I told him to wait cause I was smelly from practice, so I came back with my baby powder, and he tossed me the rock. Then he said to throw it at Sammy as hard as I could. I said I couldn't cause she was turned away, but he said I had to, or he would never let me go home. So I did. And then I ran away, and he chased me and made me put some of my baby powder on her back, and then he hit her chest, and made me put more, cause she was smelly there too. And she was covered in blood, and then he shoved me in the car and washed off the blood and drove me home and said never to tell or he would hurt my mommy." Brennan hugged her tight, and Booth gritted his teeth.

He wanted to kill that dad for forcing this little girl to be involved in such a terrible event. "Thank you Megan, that is all, and you can go to your mommy." Megan ran out of the room, where her mother was waiting. Booth walked over to the woman, and looked her in the eye. "You need to get your child therapy, but other than that she is innocent and free to go."

"Thank you Agent Booth! Thank you!" The woman dried her tears and walked with her child out the door.

"Do you think she will be okay?"

Booth sighed, looking at Brennan. "Yeah, I do. I think she will be fine eventually, especially with some therapy. "

Brennan chuckled. "You know from personal experience right?"

Booth nodded, and grinned. "Okay, off to person number two."

---------------------------------

"Zach, Jack, Angela!" The three turned around to see Cam, furiously stomping her foot.

"We're busted…" Jack whispered, and Angela nodded.

"Glad to see you three this morning, but there is no cases to work on, so I decided to give everyone a free day!"

The squints looked at each other, as if not believing what she had said.

"You mean we can all just go home…now?" Jack asked.

Cam nodded. "Yes, and hurry up. I want to get home soon as well." She began packing her things up, and the three squints left the building.

"What do you think about that?" Hodgins smirked.

"I think she isn't jealous anymore." Angela answered.

"So she is over Booth?" Zach questioned.

Angela nodded. "Good job Zach, starting to catch on! But I think she is way past being over Booth, I think she has someone new."

Jack nodded, and Zach looked puzzled. "What led you to that assumption?"

Hodgins and Angela laughed, and linked arms. "Come on Zach; let's go get something to eat at the diner."

----------------------------

Booth entered the room of the father, trying to reign in his anger. "Hello Adam."

Adam scowled at Booth. "I had nothing to do with her death."

"The evidence says otherwise, Mr. Richards." Booth said angrily.

Brennan watched as her partner angrily leaned over the table…she knew this interrogation could be violent.

"Why don't you tell me what you remember about the day she died?" Booth continued.

"Well, I was going to pick her up from dance class, and I saw Mr. Bailey, and then I was at home, and Sammy wasn't there."

Brennan furrowed her brow in thought. "What was the time you went to pick her up?"

Booth looked at Brennan. "Bones, what does that matter, the man did it." He whispered in her ear.

"Maybe…maybe not." She whispered back.

"I don't know, I think maybe three in the afternoon."

"And what time was it when you were sitting at home?" Booth clenched his fists in an attempt to restrain himself.

"About seven at night I think. I guess I was so worried about her…"

"Or you are lying and pretending to block out the vicious murder you committed."

"Booth" Brennan urged. "Booth, I don't think he did it."

"WHAT?"

Brennan shrugged. "Sir, could I possibly take a blood sample from you?"

He nodded, confused. "What's going on?"

"When is the last time you saw Mr. Bailey?"

Adam shrugged. "The day you arrested me…I think."

Brennan nodded enthusiastically. "Good, so are you allowing me, giving me your consent to-?"

"Yes, whatever it takes to prove my innocence to you people!"

Brennan nodded, and turned to Booth. "Get me a kit so that I can draw some blood."

"What are you doing Bones?"

Brennan smiled. "Saving an innocent man."

-----------------------------------------

"I can't believe you gave them the day off! That means I have to do this by myself!"

"I'm sorry Dr. Brennan; I never imagined this would happen."

"Fine, just leave the equipment on, okay?"

"Fine, good bye."

Brennan hung up the phone.

"Bones, you didn't have to yell at Cam like that."

"I know, I was just really frustrated, how can she give the entire team the day off?"

"I don't know Bones, maybe it's a good idea."

"What do you mean?"

"Maybe you should take this as a blessing. You know what Bones? No more working today. Why don't you come with me and you, Parker and I can watch a movie. Cool?" Brennan eyed Booth suspiciously. "Why are you trying to get me out of working? I love working."

Booth nodded. "Anyone can see that, one might say you work too much."

"How do I work too much?"

"Want to see the movie or not?"

"Fine, what movie is it?"

"Finding Nemo."

"What is it about?"

"Oh come on Bones! The big fish movie…?"

"I don't know…I have never heard of it."

"Of course. Well, I think you're going to like it."

----------------------------

"I still don't understand what you meant." Zach said before eating a french fry.

"And you might never understand." Angela responded truthfully, and Hodgins smiled.

"But we still love you man."

Angela nodded, and patted his had. "Yes we will…Dr. Addy."

Zach flinched at the use of his formal name.

"I want to go do something." Hodgins said, and Zach sighed.

"I should go home to Michelle."

Angela smirked. "Have fun, because Jack and I will…"

Zach's eyes suddenly lit up, he grinned. "I think I understand what you meant."

Hodgins smirked. "By the looks of it, I think you do."

-----------------------------------

"Hey Cam, it's okay, she probably didn't mean it."

Cam shrugged. "I don't know. Ever since I came here, it seems like I haven't been able to do anything right."

"Maybe you haven't?"

Cam glared at him. "That's not true!"

Matt smiled. "I thought so…maybe you are just doing one thing wrong."

"What?"

"It sounds like you are trying to change the way the team works. Cam, I'm sure you know that people don't like change, and from what I've heard, especially Dr. Brennan."

"Yeah, that's an understatement."

"You just need to respect that, and give it time; she seems to be warming up to you."

"I guess."

Matt sighed. "I'm sure they will come to see the person that I see in you."

Cam smiled at him, and reached for his hand. "I'm so glad I'm not alone in this…"

Matt smiled, and took her hand. "You will never have to be alone again. I will always be here for you."

Cam smiled. "I know."

--------------------------------------

"What did you think Bones?" Booth grinned.

"Yeah, Dr. Bones, what did you think? Did you like it? I like the turtles…dude!"

Brennan giggled, and ruffled Parker's hair. "I loved it! That was a really funny movie."

"I also liked the birds…they all wanted the same fish!" Parker giggled, and Booth laughed with him. He was so happy. Life couldn't get much better, Parker and Bones with me…not much better at all.

"Good Bones, you need to watch movies and enjoy them. Time to come to the real world." Booth said, and Brennan grinned.

"Dr. Bones, guess what?"

"What Parker?"

"I made a mummy for school, wanna see?"

Brennan nodded, and Booth stiffened. He was sure she would point out the imperfections, which would break Parker's heart. He had worked so long on that project.

"Here it is Dr. Bones!"

Brennan took the object out of the boy's hand, and smiled. "This is a great job Parker, but…" Booth held his breath. "This doesn't look like a person!"

Parker giggled, and Booth breathed again. "That's because it isn't! It's a puppy. I didn't wanna use my action figures."

Brennan nodded. "Did you know that the ancient Egyptians mummified their pets too?" Parker's eyes widened. "Daddy, did you know that?"

Booth shook his head. "No I didn't bud. Bones, are you trying to turn my boy into a squint?"

Brennan laughed. "I'm trying as hard as I can."

Parker giggled, and yawned, rubbing his eyes.

"Looks like someone is sleepy." Brennan noticed. Booth nodded, and picked up a protesting Parker.

"Daddy…no…I'm not-" Parker fell asleep as soon as Booth put him on his bed. He walked back into the living room where he saw Brennan smirking from the couch.

"He is so sweet."

Booth nodded. "And he loves you Bones."

Brennan shrugged. "I don't know. You think so?"

Booth shook his head. "I don't think Bones, I know so."

Brennan blushed. "Well I should probably get going."

Booth nodded, although he desperately wanted her to stay. "See you tomorrow Bones." Brennan waved, and left his apartment, not confused at the warm sensation she felt. Parker is so cute…maybe he does…like…me

-----------------------------------------

Angela smiled at Jack. "I can't believe I won, again!"

Hodgins threw down his cards. "You're cheating!"

Ange smirked. "No, I'm not."

Jack crept to her side of the bed. "Really?"

Angela shrugged. "I don't think so…Dr. Hodgins."

Jack touched her elbow, smiling softly. "I think I need to double check, Miss Montenegro."

She laughed as he kissed her neck. She began kissing him, until he pulled away with a triumphant look on his face.

"Aha! I knew it!" He held the cards in his hand. Angela bit her lip and shrugged. At that moment, her cell phone went off.

-----------------------------

Booth sat on his bed, his brow furrowed in thought.

She seemed so relaxed just now, more relaxed than I've ever seen her before. I hope she is okay tonight. She is so good with Parker, and he absolutely adores her. I wish I knew what she wanted…I wish I could just take her in my arms…

"Daddy?"

Booth smiled at the boy standing at the foot of his bed. "Hey Parker, bad dream?"

Parker nodded, climbing into the bed. "Daddy?"

Booth hugged his son. "Yeah?"

" Does Dr. Bones like me?"

"Of course she does…she loves you."

"Do you love Dr. Bones?"

Booth thought about his question. Do I…? "Yeah, I do."

Parker giggled. "Don't worry Daddy; I'll keep your secret."

Booth smiled. "Time to go to sleep Parker." They slept peacefully.

----------------------------------------

Brennan collapse on her couch, with a huge grin on her face. That was the most fun I've ever had. I adore Parker, he is so sweet. I just hope I act okay around him. Booth didn't correct me…Booth. What am I going to do about him? He seems to have some sort of feelings for me, but that can't be true because he said himself that people who work together can't have relationships…but Angela and Hodgins seem to be doing okay…I'll call Angela. Brennan dialed her number and waited.

"Hello?"

"Angela, thank goodness. Can we talk?" She heard Angela giggling.

"Of course, about Booth?"

Brennan laughed. "Naturally."

Angela squealed in delight. "What about him sweetie?"

"What if he likes me? I can't have a relationship with him right?"

"First of all, you can ALWAYS have a relationship with Booth. And what makes you think he loves you?"

"I didn't say love…"

"Whatever Bren…like you?"

"I don't know…I-I guess I am just fantasizing. I'm sorry."

"Don't be. As far as fantasies go, that is a very good one."

"Okay…"

"Bren, don't be so hard on yourself."

"Okay."

"What else is going on?"

"Nothing. I think I am going to go to sleep now."

"Wait Brennan…" Brennan hung up, and closed her eyes. She was scared at how close Booth was getting. She wanted a relationship, but not yet. I can't take someone else leaving me, especially Booth. She drifted into a fitful sleep.
