(A/N): Yes, yes I know. You all are probably thinking "Really? Fifth chapter already?" But I just couldn't resist. Enjoy! Here is Chapter Five of When I Look at You. :)
Chapter Five: Telling The Squints
A few weeks later, Bones' leg was healed and fully functional again.
"Are you sure you're ready to go back to work, Babe?" Booth asked Bones.
"Yes, my leg is fine and I already told you to not call me 'Babe'." she said.
Booth smiled, knowing how much she hated pet names.
"Okay, Babe." he said playfully.
She gave him a death stare. "You're pushing it, Booth. Either you call me Bones or I won't let you call me anything but Dr. Brennan." she said.
"That would be weird, considering we're dating now." he said.
"Well, how would you like it if I called you by your first name or something stupid like 'Baby'?" she asked.
He smiled. "I wouldn't mind at all, just like you shouldn't." he said.
"Booth, are we really gonna argue abut this? We're going to be late." she said.
"Nah, let's go." he said, putting his arm around her shoulder.
"Booth?" she said.
"Hmm?" he asked.
"How do you feel about telling everyone at work about us?" she asked.
"Today?" he asked. She nodded.
He smiled. "Sure. Let's tell 'em. Heck I would shout 'I love Temperance Brennan' from the rooftops if you wanted me to." he said.
She smiled and stood on her tippy toes to kiss his lips. "I love you." she said.
"I love you, too." he said.
At The Jeffersonian
Angela was the first one to see them and she almost crushed Bones in a hug.
"Hey, Sweetie!" she yelled.
"Angela...can't breathe..." Bones said.
"Oh! Sorry." she said, letting go of her.
"Oh now ya see that? You let her call you 'Sweetie' but you won't let me call you 'Babe'?" Booth whined.
"Shh!" Bones hit Booth on the arm.
Angela eyed them suspiciously.
"What? I'm just sayin'." Booth said.
"Angela has been calling me 'Sweetie' for years just like you have been calling me 'Bones' for years." Bones said. She didn't realize Angela was still staring at them.
"Uhm..I'm not even gonna ask." Angela said.
"Oh, now that's a first." Booth said. Bones elbowed him in the chest.
"Angela, could you get everyone in the autopsy room for us?" Bones asked.
"Uh...sure Bren, but why?" Angela asked.
"It's important please just do it." Bones pleaded.
"Okie-dokie..." Angela said, running off to get everybody.
Booth and Bones headed to the autopsy room to wait.
A few minutes later everyone walked in and Bones and Booth both laughed when they saw Angela dragging Sweets into the room.
"Angela! Would you please let go? Being around dead bodies makes me nautious." he whined.
"Would you shut up and just get in there?" Angela said, pushing him into the room and locking the door.
"What's this all about, Dr. Brennan?" Cam asked.
Bones hesitated. "Booth and I have something to tell everyone."
All the Squints and Sweets were looking at them with curiousity.
"Well, ya see, we sort of-" Bones started
Booth cut her off with his lips. After a few seconds, he pulled back.
"Well...I guess that explains it." Bones said.
They looked around at everyones expressions.
Angela and Sweets, the people who had been telling them they were in love for years, had knowing smiles on their faces.
Hodgins and Zack looked very confused and Cam looked completely stunned.
Booth was beginning to feel awkward. "Um...are you guys gonna say anything?" he asked.
Cam looked at them as if she was about to faint. "So let me get this straight, you two-" she started.
"Yeah, we're together." Bones said.
"Ah..well...wow...I guess...congratula-"
Cam was cut off by Angela's loud, shrill scream.
"OH MY GOD I KNEW THIS WOULD EVENTUALLY HAPPEN!" she said, jumping up and down like an excited little kid.
She crushed both of them in a giant hug and screamed again.
Angela's reaction made everyone in the room burst out laughing.
"I have to say, I didn't think this would go that well." Bones said.
"Yeah, and Cam, if you wanna split us up I understand, but our relationship won't get in the way of work." Booth said. Bones nodded in agreement.
Cam laughed. "What, you're kidding, right? Split you two up? You guys have the best crime record in DC, I would be a total idiot to split you up." she said.
Bones was so happy she did something she almost never did, she hugged Cam as hard as she could.
"Uhm...Dr. Brennan?" said Cam.
"Yeah?" Bones asked.
"My upper side is kinda losing feeling." she replied.
Bones smiled and let go.
The rest of the day consisted of Bones and Booth getting high fives and congratulations from the Squints, and getting I-told-you-so's from both Angela and Sweets.
Now, the secret was out.
