Chapter 15-Unbound 'The Wild Ride'
I was watching another show and this scene just seemed like it would make a great BB moment.
"If you had to pick a time when you were the most… amazed by your wife what would it be?" Nik asked once they were in the car on their way to pick her up.
Booth thought for a moment. Then had a flash back to a few months after he had started dating Bones, it was the middle of December, the first night that she spent with me with Parker there.
"Hey, wake up." She did not get a response. "Wake up!"
"No."
"Come on, you're missing it!" She threw the covers off of him.
"Is it sleep? Because you'd be right." Booth grumbled without opening his eyes.
"Smell the air, smell it," She breathed in deeply.
"It smells cold."
"Come on." Making him sit up without the covers.
"What? No, it it's freezing!"
"Come on!" She pulled him out of bed, pushing him towards the door.
"The floor's cold."
"You're so obsessed with the cold."
"Because it's cold!"
"I know. Come on."
Booth grumbled, not really saying any real words.
"We need to get Parker too!" She rushed into Parkers room, "Parker," she fliped on the lights. "Hey Parker come on!" Parker rolled out of bed grumbling like Booth. "Put on your shoes and your coat!"
They were finally outside, "I'm turning numb."
"Keep moving!" She said as they were walking into the middle of the street.
"Are my feet still attached to my body, or did then snap off coming down the stairs?"
"They're still there."
"Why are we out here?"
"Take a breath." As she took a deep breath.
"What?" He is holding Parker and he had his head on Booths shoulder.
"Do it." He breathed in slightly at her command.
"Yeah."
"I smell snow."
"What?"
"It's coming. I always know, I can smell it, and I'm never wrong."
"It wasn't in the forecast."
"It's just my favorite time of the year. The whole world changes color."
"I think I'm blacking out."
"Flake, flurries, swirls, crystals, whatever form in comes in, I'll take it. We go back, snow and me. We have a beautiful history." She was smiling in a way that Booth has never seen, it would have been cute if he was not freezing and it was at a decent hour.
"I saw two forecasts. Neither of them mentioned snow. Cold, but no snow."
"Sleigh rides, ice skating, snowball fights, I'll even take curling. God, I love curling." She went on, ignoring him.
"Vance Cranston on Channel Six said it would be dry. Kimmy Liston, Live at 5:00, same thing. No snow, nothing."
"Hot cocoa, hot toddies, best time of the year." Still pretending not to hear him.
"Jimmy Mountain in Accuchopper One said it would be weeks before—" Just then flakes began to fall. "Vance and Kimmy are idiots."
"Welcome friends!" Bones had her face turned up towards the snow as it was falling.
"Going inside now."
"But—"
"One more whiff, and then so are you. Come on buddy."
"Booth." Booth and Parker turned to walk back inside.
"Has Dr. Bones always been this crazy daddy?"
Booth nodded, covering his yawn with his hand, shuffling to the door with Parker.
Booth relayed the story to Nik, "I was just, so not her! She has always been so rational, and reasoned. And she had always hated Christmas, so I was amazed that she would love it so much."
Now who can tell me what show this is from?!
