Chapter 16
It's Easier to ask for Forgiveness than Permission
Booth stood in the doorway waiting for an answer.
Her cheeks had turned pink and her chest was heaving.
She was sexy when she was mad.
"She signed us up for a Lamaze class."
He took a single step into her office, and then kicked the door shut behind him.
"Isn't it a little early for that?"
Her eyes were blazing now.
"That's not even the point Booth! She did it without asking!"
He took a cautious step forward, holding his hands out in a placating gesture.
"She's Angela."
"How is that even a valid argument?"
He flashed her his charm smile.
"How is it not?"
"So what are you saying? You think I'm over reacting?"
He took another step forward.
"Yes, but I get it. You hate it when you're not in control."
Immediately feeling defensive, she crossed her arms beneath her chest.
"That's perfect Booth! So tell me is there anything else about me that you don't like?"
"Easy Bones. I didn't say that I didn't like it. As a mater of fact, it's one of your more endearing qualities."
He took another step.
She watched him with a weary eye as she uncrossed her arms.
"Sooo, what about my original question Bones?"
She sighed in frustration.
"Apparently it's not unheard of."
He moved again until he was standing in front of her.
She knew that he was going to touch her and it wasn't fair! She didn't want to be soothed right now; she just wanted to be pissed at Angela for what she had done! But if he touched her…
Gently he pressed a hand to her rounded belly.
Even though she had been expecting it, her breath still caught in the back of her throat.
Their eyes locked.
She didn't want to give in, but she knew it was a losing battle.
She placed one of her hands over his.
"You want to go to this class don't you Booth?"
"Am I that obvious?"
"Not always."
He smiled at her.
"Bones I think it would be good for us to take this class."
Knowing that he wanted this made it impossible for her to say no. So, there it was, she had officially lost the battle.
"Ok, lets do it."
She was giving in? He had been prepared to beg her, and she was giving in! A part of him refused to believe it.
He raised a dubious eyebrow as he asked, "Really?"
She just smiled at him as she pulled him down by his tie for a kiss.
His Bones was forever surprising him, and as he deepened the kiss he prayed for that to never change.

"Ready sweetie?"
She glanced up from her laptop.
Angela was standing in the doorway.
She shut her laptop down.
"Yes."
Angela sighed.
"Still mad at me?"
"No."
She got up from her chair and grabbed her coat.
"Plan on giving me more than one-word responses any time soon?"
She smiled.
"Where are Booth and Hodgins?"
Angela smiled back.
"Cute sweetie. They are waiting for us by the platform."
She nodded. When she tried to leave the office Angela blocked her path.
"Are we really ok?"
"We will be."
Angela nodded.
They began to walk towards the platform.
"Hey Angela?"
"Yeah sweetie?"
"My last response had three words."
Angela rolled her eyes.
"Smart-ass."
A/N: Ok so don't hate me! I know I said I would update sooner than the last time, and that didn't happen. Also, I promised you a Lamaze class… So here is the thing what I am posting now is only a part of what I had planned on posting. It was getting really long and needed to be split up! The good news is that I am nearly done with it. I know you hate me right? Look for some reason this chapter (for the most part) was reluctant to take form. However, I think it might help if you feed my withering muse and ego some reviews ;)
