Booth was on his side thinking about the night's events. He was too nervous to sleep. In less than twenty four hours he would have his date with Ms. Brennan. At that thought Booth was reminded that he couldn't keep calling her Ms. Brennan.

Early the next morning

Brennan snapped her cell phone shut. She had just finished a conversation with Caroline. Yes, she was officially divorced. Angela walked into the kitchen and poured some coffee in a mug before walking to sit next to Brennan on the couch.

"Spill." Angela said after Brennan told her she'd just spoken with Caroline. Brennan told her about the previous night and that she had a date with Booth that night. "Sully's a creep." Angela started and after a sip of her coffee she squealed. "You have a date with Seeley Booth!" Brennan knew what was coming next. "We're going shopping and to get your hair done..." Angela's words were muffled as she walked to her room and Brennan knew she wasn't going to be able to get out of the Angela's plan.

B&B

Booth had a talk with Parker about Brennan.

"So, she's basically your girlfriend." Parker rolled his eyes at the long explanation his dad used to say that Brennan was basically his girlfriend. Parker gave his dad a hug, telling him that he was okay with it. He really liked Brennan too.

Parker sat on his bed playing video games as he waited for Booth. Parker looked up when his bedroom door opened and saw Booth in a suit. Parker shook his head 'no' and Booth went back to his room. Booth came back in jeans and a t-shirt and both shook their heads 'no'. The third time Booth entered his son's room he was wearing a blue button down dress shirt and jeans. Parker nodded and Booth smiled his charm smile.

B&B

Brennan stared in the mirror. Angela had chosen a dress for her to wear, but Brennan found it too formal. Stripping off the dress, she looked for something else to wear.

Angela gasped when she saw Brennan enter the living room wearing almost knee high boots, jeans, shirt and jacket instead of the dress and she'd let her hair down. Brennan held a hand up before Angela could say something. There was a knock on the door and Angela whispered in Brennan's ear "Be bad." Brennan glared at her friend as she moved to open the front door.

As Brennan and Booth rode the elevator, Booth told her she looked beautiful. She told him he looked very handsome.

He parked in front of The Founding Fathers and Brennan commented that the bar/restaurant was across the street from the diner. They placed their food and drink orders and conversed.

"Now that this is an official date I can't keep calling you 'Ms. Brennan'." Booth said with a smile.

"My full name is Temperance Brennan." Brennan suspected he already knew what her name was.

"What would you like me to call you?" He asked and when she didn't jump in, he did. "Well, my name is Seeley, but I don't like to be called that." He smiled. Brennan told him that most people called her Tempe, except for Angela. She calls her Bren sometimes, mostly sweetie. "Bren it is." He chose Bren instead of Tempe because he figured her ex-husband probably called her that and he wanted their relationship to be unique. Brennan decided to call him Booth until she thought of something else.

They continued with their evening, talking about their favorite things...color, food, music, places...

"I had a wonderful time."Brennan told Booth as they stopped in front of the door to the apartment she shared with Angela. He told her he'd also enjoyed the evening and kissed her cheek, watched as she entered the apartment and smiling he walked to the elevators.

Two weeks later

It was Monday and Brennan gathered her things, calling it a day. She'd been on a few dates with Booth and their relationship grew. Brennan felt there was something really special there. She walked out the school's front doors and Parker's screaming caught her attention.

The boy got away from Rebecca and ran towards Brennan. He hugged her left leg, looking up at her and saying he didn't want to go with Rebecca. He wanted his daddy.

"I'm his mother!" Rebecca stated, hands on hips. Parker tightened his grip on Brennan's leg, shaking his head 'no'. Booth parked his SUV, taking in that his son was clinging to his girlfriend's leg. He pulled Rebecca to the side, not allowing Brennan or Parker to listen and told her to stay away from his son.

"Hey, it's okay, buddy." Booth knelt next to his son and the boy released Brennan's leg to hug his dad. Brennan ran a soothing hand on Parker's back before leaving. Booth took her hand and sent her a look that said 'we'll talk later'. She gave his hand a squeeze before walking away.

Later that afternoon, Booth called Brennan.

"How's Parker doing?" she asked.

"He's better now." Booth enjoyed talking with Brennan; she always made him feel better. "I've been meaning to ask you something." Booth told Brennan about the weekend event at Hodgins' ranch in Virginia, asking her to accompany him.

"Angela's my best friend and she's been asking for weeks."

"So, you're going, right?" Booth was looking forward to spending the weekend with Parker and Brennan.

"Of course. I'd probably be dragged if I didn't go." She joked. He told her about all the fun activities available and how she'd have lots of fun. They said their good nights after a long time conversing, sending the other a kiss through the phone.

Booth trotted down the stairs in search of Daisy. He found her in the kitchen. "I know this weekend is your weekend off, but I need to ask you something." Daisy listened as Booth explained that he was going to be busy on Saturday and he didn't want to be worrying about Parker's safety. The whole Rebecca thing was something to worry about. He told Daisy he'd pay her for the three days, although she only had to watch Parker on Saturday. Daisy agreed. Parker was a great kid and no trouble at all. Plus she'd get some free paid time, it's not like she had plans for the weekend. Booth thanked her before heading back to his room.

B&B

On Friday, Booth picked up Parker once school was over. Daisy was with him; everything was ready for the drive to the ranch. Booth saw Brennan walking towards Angela's car and told her he'd see her there. She shot him a smile and nodded.

On the drive to the ranch, Angela knew her friend was deep in thought. "Despite the fact that every year after this event I visited you, the ranch is very secluded. It's not around the corner from where you used to live with Sully." Brennan smiled at how well her friend knew her. "I'm happy you're giving yourself a second chance at love with man candy Seeley Booth." Angela grinned at the last part. "You have something really special there, sweetie." Angela could tell those two were in love despite their short time together. "That man's a keeper. He's got the looks, money, and most importantly he's got good feelings for you." Angela smiled. "As for Sully, kick his ass. I'll help if you need the help." Both women laughed at that.

B&B

Booth, Parker, and Daisy made their way to their designated rooms. Booth's room had two beds, one for him and one for Parker. Daisy's room was across the hall from Booth's room and Booth found it to be a good idea in case Daisy needed anything.

Angela and Brennan were also sharing a room. The room had two beds and was next to Booth's. Brennan eyed her friend, suspecting if she had something to do with it.

Booth was on his back on the bed unable to sleep knowing that Brennan was just on the other side of the wall. He looked over at the other bed and found that his son was sleeping soundly. He grabbed his cell phone and sent Brennan a message.

Brennan had never found it easy to sleep out of her bed and it always took her a while to fall asleep. Angela on the other hand was sound asleep on the other bed. Brennan felt her phone vibrate and took it from underneath her pillow. She smiled as she read Booth's text.

'YOU ASLEEP?'

She answered it and waited for a reply.

Booth read the reply and grinned.

'NO. WHY?'

They texted back and forth until well into the night.

After breakfast Booth was already busy making sure everything was ready for the event. They were expecting lots of potential customers and everything had to be ready. Parker and Daisy approached him, asking if they could go look around the ranch. Booth told them to be safe and told Daisy to call his cell if they needed anything. He kissed his son on the top of his head and got back to work. Brennan crossed Daisy and Parker in the hall leading up to the show room where the event would take place. Parker hugged Brennan, telling her he'd be with Daisy looking around the ranch in case she decided to join them.

"Need help?" Booth turned to look at Brennan, sending her a smile. He pecked her lips, taking in that she was also wearing jeans and a tee like him.

"If you want to help that's cool."

"I can see Angela's about to lose it and I don't want to be there if she does." Brennan joked as they both turned to look at Angela who was on the stage in the front of the room, walking up and down the runway and giving orders.

Brennan helped Booth run through the list of what needed to be checked before the event. They spent the day together and Booth was grateful for the help. Together they finished by lunch time.

B&B

"Wow." Booth was awestruck when he saw Brennan in a short, black dress with thin straps that hugged her body perfectly. She stood next to him, sending him a bright smile.

"Wow to you too." Brennan ran a finger down his colorful tie. He shot her his charm smile and asked her if she wanted a drink.

Perotta made it to the event in time; lucky thing Cullen was family. She was looking for Booth when she caught sight of Rebecca. Rebecca was sipping a drink and looking smug. 'How dare she?' Perotta made her way over to Rebecca to tell her to leave Booth alone.

"What are you doing here? Seeley doesn't want to see you. Leave!" Rebecca rolled her eyes, not caring what Blondie thought.

The show was about to start and Angela hastily made her way over to where Brennan and Booth
stood. "Sweetie, I need your help." Angela took Brennan's drink and handed it to Booth. "My lead model's sick. She's throwing up and stuff. I need your help." Angela dragged Brennan even as Brennan reminded her friend she WASN'T a model.

"Dude, where's Angela taking your girlfriend?" Hodgins asked as he stood next to Booth. Looking at the retreating Angela dragging her friend, Hodgins asked himself why he never showed up to these types of events before; they were really something not to miss.

"I don't know if I can do this, Ange." Brennan peeked at the people standing and sitting waiting for a show. Nervous was an understatement. Brennan was panicking.

"You can do this, sweetie." Angela hugged her friend. "Just walk, spin, and come back. It's simple." Easy for her to say, Brennan thought as she hoped she didn't mess up.

The show was starting and as Perotta wasted her time glaring at Rebecca and telling her to leave Booth alone, Rebecca noted the look on Booth's face when Brennan walked down the runway.

Booth stared at Brennan. She was wearing a short, strapless red dress and Booth stared from her long legs and up her body. He enjoyed the cleavage on display and when he reached her face he could see she was nervous.

When Brennan saw the charming smile Booth sent her, she felt less nervous and was able to finish her walk with confidence. Angela hugged her friend and Brennan was glad it was over.

After the show, Parker and Daisy returned to Booth's room to play some video games.

Booth kissed Brennan when she approached him now wearing the black dress and clapped her performance. Rebecca took in the way Booth was smiling at Brennan and decided her real threat was Brennan. Rebecca fished her phone out of her purse to make a call, determined to know everything about the teacher/model Booth was dating.

Booth had spotted Rebecca earlier and had been glad she hadn't approached.

"What's wrong?" Brennan asked, sensing that Booth was worried.

"I want to check up on Parker." The event was almost over and Booth hadn't seen Rebecca since the event began, not that he was paying too much attention to her, and he wanted to make sure Parker was okay. The after party could wait.

Booth and Brennan entered Booth's room and found Parker asleep on one bed and Daisy asleep on the other. Booth walked over to the bed where Parker was asleep and tucked his son in, kissing the top of his head. Brennan took a blanket that rested on the arm chair next to the window and draped it over the sleeping Daisy. They quietly exited of the room.

They entered Brennan's room and as they stood by the foot of Brennan's bed, Booth smiled.

"What's so amusing?" She asked.

"I didn't know that besides being a teacher my girlfriend's also a model." He took out his cell phone and showed her the picture he took of her as she walked down the runway.

"Give me that!" Brennan shrieked, trying to take the phone away from him.

"No, you looked very pretty." And hot. He teased, keeping the phone from her reach. In their little battle for the phone they fell back on the bed, Brennan falling on top. Booth smiled at her, leaning forward to kiss her sweetly. She took the opportunity to take the phone away from him, rolling off him to erase the picture. She turned on her side facing him, handing him the phone back.

"I sent a copy to my email." He stuck his tongue out at her playfully. She faked a pout as she kicked her heels off. Booth followed her move and kicked his shoes off too. She shivered and he took off his suit jacket and draped it over her, hating that he covered the spectacular view her cleavage gave, but he didn't want her to be cold. Brennan loosened his tie and popped the top button of his shirt open. This time it was Brennan who leaned to place a kiss on his lips. It was such an intimate moment between the two and it didn't feel wrong the least bit.

Angela walked back to the room well into the night. It would be morning soon and she wondered at what time Booth and Brennan had left the event. When she entered the room she found Booth and Brennan asleep on Brennan's bed. They were on their sides facing each other with Booth's jacket draped on her. Angela did a silent 'aww' at how cute they looked before quietly getting ready for bed.

Early in the morning Brennan was awoken by a dispute out in the hall. She opened her eyes and found Booth still asleep. She rolled out of bed and saw that Angela was also asleep. She padded barefoot to the door and stepped out of the room. She saw as a blond woman retreated towards the stairs.

Daisy was staring after her, standing outside of Booth's room. "Biatch." Daisy said unaware that Brennan was now standing next to her. "Oh, not you." The younger woman cleared who she was referring to. Brennan asked her what was going on. Daisy told her that she had woken up and was making her way to her room to shower and change. Daisy was just out of the room when Perotta attacked her, calling her a few names and telling her to back off because Booth was hers. Brennan arched an eyebrow. 'Hello, I'm his girlfriend.' Brennan was not happy with Blondie.

Brennan returned to her room. She settled on her side facing Booth on the bed and tapped his shoulder, whispering his name to wake him up. He opened his eyes and looked at her, smiling he said good morning. Brennan smiled back before telling about the incident in the hall.

They were talking when Angela threw a pillow at them to be quiet. Laughing the two agreed to shower (separately and in their own rooms) and meet down stairs for breakfast.

Brennan found Parker and Booth in the kitchen eating. She kissed the top of Parker's head and the boy said good morning with a mouthful of pancakes.

"Parker." Booth told his son not to talk with his mouth full, but he was cut off when Brennan kissed him. The boy giggled and they smiled. Parker had taken their relationship very well.

Brennan sat and had breakfast with them. Parker suggested they should go to the town to look around. "It's only five miles away." The boy said with enthusiasm. Brennan agreed and left Angela a note. Booth would have his talk with Perotta later. Right now was his time with his son and girlfriend. Parker asked if Daisy could go too and Daisy agreed, not wanting to cross Perotta again.

B&B

Rebecca was given the information she'd requested on Brennan. She saw that Brennan had married a man named Tim Sullivan. Since he lived in Virginia Rebecca decided to pay him a visit and see if he'd be of use.

Sully entered the house from the back entrance, soaking wet from his early morning swim. He was drying off with a towel when the door bell rang. He walked to the door and found a blond on his door step.

"Can I help you?" He asked, eyeing Rebecca.

"Are you Tim Sullivan?"She asked, liking the wet muscular body on display. When Sully said he was the person she was looking for she introduced herself. "My name's Rebecca Stinson." They shook hands. "I'm here to talk to you about your wife Temperance Brennan."

"Ex wife." As much as he hated it, it was true. She said they had to talk and he stepped aside to let her in. Rebecca told him that Brennan was an inconvenience to her plans and needed to get her away from Booth. Sully smiled, already seeing that he and Rebecca would get along just fine.
