Thanks for all the reviews and alerts:D Sorry for the delay. I was finishing up my other story 'complicated'. I had this chap done since Sat, but my computer had been acting up and I couldn't get on the internet:(, then I decided to take a trip to the public library and post it, but their computers were down. So, I guess it was meant for you guys to have this chapter 'til now. My computer's all good now and I'm working on the next chap.

Booth followed Brennan inside the apartment. She insisted she was fine, but he could tell she wasn't.
"Coffee?" She asked and he said 'sure'. Her hands were shaking as she tried to get the coffee maker started, so he jumped in to help.
"I'll do it." Brennan didn't even argue with him. She sat down on a chair, placing her arms on the dinning room table and buried her face in them. What the hell is Sully doing here? What's up with his aggressiveness? Why am I even worried about him?
Booth had to search for some coffee cups and poured the coffee in them when he finally did.
"I don't know how you like your coffee, so I just put two sugars." He placed the cup on the table and took the chair next to hers.
"Thanks." She smiled at him. Suddenly she saw Seeley Booth like a man and not just like a dad.
"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked hesitantly. For some reason he inspired her trust and she opened up.
"He's my husband. Well, I'm trying to get him to be my ex husband." She laughed lightly and he smiled at her. "He won't sign the divorce papers. He doesn't want to see that it's over." Brennan sipped her coffee and he smiled at her.
"What happened between you two?" He didn't know why he'd asked that. Before he could tell her that it was okay if she didn't want to talk about it, she answered his question. Brennan told him about the others and how she had caught him with his 'partner'.
They were in silence for a while and he didn't know why he told her about himself.
"Rebecca, Parker's mom, she umh…left with my brother."
"Wow." Brennan was awed that he had opened up to her. They gave each other a half smile.
B&B
Angela closed the front door and leaned against it to remover her heels. She walked to the kitchen for a drink and almost fell on her ass at what she saw. In front of her sat, close to each other, Brennan and the hot Seeley Booth. Their heads rested on their arms and their elbows almost touched. Angela tippy toed towards her room, not wanting to wake them.
Angela shook her head in amazement. Only her friend would get Seeley Booth alone and just fall asleep with him.
The next morning
Brennan rubbed her neck as she sat up straight. When she opened her eyes she almost jumped when she saw Booth asleep next to her. Booth began to stir at the smell of breakfast.
"I was wondering when you two were going to wake up." Angela grinned, placing a plate of food in front of the still sleepy pair.
Brennan walked Booth to the door after breakfast. They smiled at each other before saying 'good bye'.
"Okay, spill." Angela practically dragged Brennan towards the couch.
Booth exited the apartment building and jogged to his SUV. He got in and drove away. Sully had staked the building all night and Booth leaving in the morning told him he was the reason his wife wasn't coming back home with him.
"Wow. Sully's a creep. You should get a restraining order." Angela soothed her friend. "But seriously?" Brennan arched an eyebrow in question. "When I saw you leave with Seeley Booth, I was like 'way to go, sweetie'. But you guys just drank coffee and slept?" Angela shook her head in the negative. "You have to move on, sweetie. Do you know how many women would like to get Seeley Booth in a room alone with them?" Angela asked amused.
Brennan rose from the couch, shaking her head. "I'm taking a shower."
B&B
"Hot date?" Booth was halfway up the stairs heading towards his room and stopped to look at who was talking to him.
"Hello." Perotta stood at the foot of the stairs; he hadn't seen her standing there.
"I saw you leave with this girl with auburn hair and blue eyes." Perotta smiled at him suggestively.
"First of all, she's not a girl. She's a woman and it wasn't a date." Parker ran down the stairs and hugged his dad.
"Are you ready to go to the park?" The boy asked his dad eagerly.
"I'll just take a shower." Booth ruffled his son's hair and hurried for a shower, knowing the boy was more than ready for their father-son day.
B&B
Brennan thought it would be awkward when she saw Booth on Monday, but it wasn't. They said 'hello' and smiled at each other.
A month passed and they saw each other when Booth picked up his kid from school and it was never awkward.
He volunteered at activities and was actually spending lots of time with her.
"So, who's the lucky woman?" Hodgins asked Booth after an early morning meeting at the office.
"What are you talking about?" Booth asked, not knowing what his friend was talking about.
"I'm your friend man. Who's the woman you've been going out with?" Hodgins nudged his shoulder and arched his eyebrows.
"I'm not going out with anyone. I've been helping out at Parker's school. That's all." Booth said as they walked towards the elevators.
"Oh, she must be hot then." Hodgins grinned.
"What?" Booth entered the elevator, his friend following close behind.
"The teacher." Hodgins pressed the button for the first floor. "You're dating your kid's teacher." Hodgins grinned again and it hit Booth that he had been spending lots of time with Brennan.
B&B
"What do we need to bring for our filed trip?" It was the third time a student asked the exact same question and Brennan wondered if the students were trying to waste the rest of class time. Brennan explained for the third time what they needed for their field trip on the following Friday. The bell rang and the children began to gather their things to leave. Brennan told them to ask their parents if they'd like to chaperone for the field trip; she'd really appreciate the help.
Parker went home that day and told his dad all about the trip. Since they had been keeping a good pace they were able to take the scheduled trip Ms. Saroyan had already planned out for them. Booth told Parker he'd volunteer.
B&B
"I'm going to miss you, sweetie." Angela hugged her friend as Brennan grabbed her stuff to head back to the elementary school for the field trip.
"Angela, it's only one night." Brennan said amused at her friend's dramatic 'good bye'.
"Sweetie, I feel sorry for you. Twenty kids overnight at the aquarium? Get ready, they won't sleep." Angela grinned and the worse part was that Brennan knew there was a great chance that was true.
Brennan took roll once all the kids were seated on the bus. She gave instructions and told the students to remain seated at all times. She sat down and Booth sat next to her, shooting her his charm smile. Brennan shook her head in amazement. The only parent who had volunteered was Booth.
B&B
"Hello." Cullen kissed Perotta's cheek. "Nice of you to join me for dinner." Perotta sat to Cullen's left on the table. Dinner was served for the two of them and Perotta wondered where Booth was.
"Seeley's not having dinner?" Perotta asked.
"Oh, he went with Parker to an overnight field trip. They won't be back until late tomorrow morning." Cullen said. Great, now I'm stuck with him. Perotta thought.
The door bell rang and the help went to answer it. A maid came back and told Cullen there was someone at the door for Parker.
"Who is it?" Cullen asked.
"Ms. Stinson." The young maid, Daisy, said.
"Rebecca!" Perotta spat, not believing Rebecca had shown up.
Reviews are awesome :D
