AN: Hi everybody! thank you for the reviews! let me know what you think!

Disclaimer: I only wish I owned Bones

Brennan and Booth sat down at their usual table in their usual diner. There was something about the place that added a nice constant to their otherwise hectic lives. They sat facing each other as always and Booth ordered a burger and a plate of fries like he always did, but Brennan on the other hand ordered a salad and her own plate of fries for a change.

"She must not remember she always steals my fries," Booth thought. He was going to remind her of it, but then he had an intriguing idea.

"Waitress," Booth called.

"Yes?" their server asked as she returned to the table.

"Could we have two pieces of pie as well?"

"Of course," she replied.

Brennan looked at Booth questioningly.

"What?" he asked "You don't remember?" "You love pie."

"Oh," said Brennan slightly confused and Booth almost felt guilty for tricking her.

"I have a few inquiries pertaining to the period during which I was in a coma," Brennan said professionally.

Booth braced himself, when Brennan went all squinty on him it either meant she was very upset or very nervous.

"Shoot," he said casually.

"I was wondering which of my memories are real and which are just manifestations of my imagination."

"Well, how bout this: you tell me what you remember and I'll tell you if it happened or not."

"Okay," said Brennan.

Booth looked at her expectantly.

"So I did ask you to be my sperm donor, correct?"

At Booth's nod she continued.

"But I never went through with it?"

"Well you never really had the chance because you went in for surgery the day after I gave the…err… donation, but I'm not sure if I could have gone through with it; I would have wanted to be more than a sperm donor; I would have wanted to be involved." He answered truthfully.

That answer brought up a whole new set of questions, but Brennan decided to put them off for later. She just nodded her head.

"So you never were in a coma yourself, you never dreamed about us being married, and I never read you my book?" she clarified.

"No I was never in coma; you did write about all of that stuff happening in your book, though."

He purposely left out the dreaming about them being married part; she didn't need to know that it was very possible he had dreamed exactly that on more than one occasion.

"So the whole ordeal with Angela's psychic, Avalon, didn't happen and I never met your pops?"

"No, Angela does have a psychic and you have met pops, those events were also written about in your book, though." "More proof that your books are based on reality," he couldn't help but add.

Brennan ignored the dig, she still had more questions.

"So the gravedigger never went to trial?" Brennan questioned apprehensively.

"Yes she did, that was just another thing that happened in reality that you also wrote about in your book; a lot of the cases in the book were obviously based on true stories too."

"You don't remember any of this?" Booth asked her concerned.

"No, I do, I just have trouble distinguishing what was a dream and what was not."

"Did Sweets publish a book on us that concluded we are in love, and did we tell him about our first case together?"

"No, he did tell us he was writing a book, but he hasn't published it yet, and no we didn't tell him about our first case.

Brennan got to the question she was most nervous about.

"You never told me you wanted to give out relationship a try?" she asked.

"Not out loud," he thought. He shook his head.

"So I was never confused about our relationship and neither of us flew away for seven months?"

"I have no idea if you were confused about our relationship, but no I would never leave you for that long; I'd miss you too much" he winked at her.

"You're not dating anyone named Hannah"

"I'm not dating anyone at all and that girl in your book sounded like a bit of a floozy, if you ask me."

Brennan laughed.

"So you never called me Dr. Brennan and then ran off with Hannah in your arms."

Booth looked at her strangely.

"No, and I don't know where that came from, that didn't even happen in your book; like I said, I'm not and never have dated anyone named Hannah."

"Oh." said Brennan.

Brennan debated whether or not to ask Booth the last question on her mind. She had always shared with him just about everything, but she just wasn't sure this time.

"Um…I…" Brennan started. "I.. was wondering..."

Booth was dumbfounded. This was probably the first time he had seen Brennan at a loss for words.

"Bones, you can ask me anything," he said, touching her hand lightly.

"Everyone seems to think we are more than partners…more than friends…"

Booth felt his pulse quicken.

"What's the question?" he asked.

"Are we?"

Haha! cliffhanger...

Next chapter we will see Brennan try some pie, Parker, and of course we will get Booth's answer to Brennan's little question (;
