Chapter Seven: Pure Bliss

(Brennan POV)

I lay there, on my side, in his bed, naked, for the second night in a row, gazing up at him, over his chest, my cheek resting on the spot just below his heart, the happiest I've ever been in my entire life.

After a couple quiet moments of me simply staring at him, he sighs. "Can you please stop looking at me like that? It's starting to get a little creepy."

I giggled. "Sorry, but you're just so... perfect." I sigh.

He looks down at me, with a skeptical look on his face. "Brennan, there's no such thing as perfect. Especially a perfect human being, so I don't see how-"

I shut him up with a kiss, which he gladly takes, wrapping his arms tightly around me and pulling me up a bit higher on his body, until I'm half on top of him, one of my arms wrapped around his neck.

When we pull back for air, I smile again. "You're perfect, Bones. In more ways than you know."

"But I can't possibly be-" I kiss him gently again, silencing him.

"You're perfect to me, Bones." I say, grinning at him.

He smiled. "In that context, you are probably perfect, as well."

"I hope so."

He laughed and leaned up to place a gentle kiss on my lips, before pulling back. "Now, sleep." he said, pulling me down so that my nose was buried in the crook of his neck, as his hand rubbed my back soothingly.

"Good night, Bones." I whispered as sleep overcame me.

"Good night, Brennan." He whispered back, turning his body towards me and wrapping his other arm around me.

The next morning, I woke up to sunlight streaming through the cracks in the blinds that covered his windows.

This alerted me for two reasons:

I must have slept later than I thought because usually the sun isn't this bright when at the time I usually wake up, which is usually around eight in the morning. So it must have been around ten at this time.

His body wasn't shielding the light, which meant that he wasn't in the bed with me.

My eyes shot open as I felt around the bed, unable to feel his body next to mine.

I lifted myself up on my hands and looked around the room, expecting to see him standing up, getting dressed, or stretching, or something.

But he wasn't. He wasn't anywhere to be found in the room, so I quickly gathered the dress shirt he'd discarded and put it on, not bothering to close it as I rushed out the bedroom door.

"Bones!" I called, walking into the kitchen. I looked all around and saw a small, sloppy note written on a napkin on the kitchen island.

"Brennan," it read, "went for coffee. Would've woken you up to go out, but you nearly punched me out. =) It's okay, though. You missed. See you soon! -Bones."

I smiled, the memory of Bones trying to drag me out of bed coming back to me, as well as the memory of swinging my fist at him and narrowly missing his right eye. I chuckled at myself and went back to his room to get my underwear and a pair of his sweats, before making my way back to the living room and plopping down on the couch, relaxing into the soft cushions as I waited for him to come home.

Home. I thought. When did his place become home to me? We've only spent the last two nights together and yet I feel like I belong here.

Then, I began to wonder about what if we got married and had kids. I mean, he would like that, wouldn't he? Not necessarily the wedding, but the kids. I'm sure he'd be a great father, but what about Parker? Would he be able to spend any time with our kids, if we had kids? I barely spent time with him, and the time I did spend with him was usually limited to a day or two.

As I pondered this, I heard a knock at the door.

I stood up and moved towards the door. "Who is it?" I called.

"Breakfast!" Bones called on the other end.

I smiled and unlocked the door, opening it to reveal a very troubled looking Bones, holding two coffees in one hand and a to-go Diner bag in his other hand, looking very grateful as he stepped in.

"Morning, gorgeous." I said, smiling as I placed a soft kiss on his lips.

"Morning, Bren." He said, kissing me back.

I took the coffees from him, placing them on the kitchen island, before turning back to him, and handing him his. "So," I said, "what are we doing today?"

Bones shrugged and sipped his coffee. "I don't know. What do you feel like doing today?"

I smiled slyly and wrapped my arms around him. "Well, we only have one more day until we have to get back to work and I'll have Parker all next weekend, so I was thinking..." I raised my eyebrows pointedly and he chuckled, placing one arm around my waist.

"Don't you think we've spent enough time in the bedroom, the last two days?" he asked.

I shook my head, and took the coffee out of his hand, placing them on the counter behind me, before taking his hand and leading him back towards the bedroom, towards utter and complete bliss.

How was that? Be brutal. Please REVIEW!
