It has only been a week and I was fine with that spinning in my chair, I was on fall break done with classes and I was board sitting in the Jeffersonian when Zach brought a body, she was glowing.
"Cool"
I smiled he smiled at me, he looked sad lately and I wasn't sure why. I stood very close to him, we hadn't had sex since Hodgins found out about it. I looked at him he looked into my eyes and I smiled.
"This is amazing"
"She is not hazardous, but you should go sit down."
"I looked at other remains before Zach"
"Yes but not murder remains, Booth will not be pleased with me if you see this."
I stared she did still have some fleshy bits, I looked at him and smiled, he gently nudged me off the platform our eyes never breaking apart.
"Zach is everything prepared?"
"Yes Dr. Brennan"
She looked at me.
"Hey bones."
"Natsumi you should go sit down in my office I recently purchased the new game Jewels that parker showed me"
I smiled and hugged her then ran to her office, I was so into the game when Hodgins came in I smiled at him.
"How would you like to be porposed to?"
I laughed he kept trying to purpose to Angela but it wasn't working.
"I wouldn't want to"
"You're a girl come one you have had to at least think about it."
"Nope"
"What about you and Zach would you ever want him to purpose?"
I hadn't thought about it and looked over at Zach I smiled and thought it over; marriage was never something I ever intended. I smiled I suppose maybe someday, not any time soon, but I thought about marrying Zach. I wondered what It would be like and I looked at Hodgins and stared at him.
"I love him but I think it would freak him out."
He smiled and I looked down.
"It's not completely unthinkable, but I know we would have to think very deeply on the matter."
"ok lets pretend you're a girl, don't scowl at me so you're a girl as a girl how would you want to be proposed to."
"Don't purpose, she'll come to you, just show her that you love her."
He looked at me and smiled.
"You are wiser beyond your year's kid."
I smiled and played the game, I had free time so I spent the night at Zach's, I looked at him on the couch while we watched Firefly, he was thinking about something.
"Zach what's wrong?"
He looked at me and sighed, I stared at him waiting. He held out his arm and I moved and crawled to him sitting on his lap facing him, my arms were around his neck.
"You're a terrible lire you know"
I smiled at him he gave a small chuckle at least that's a start I thought, and looked at him.
"Do you love me?"
"More then you could ever comprehend Zach"
He nodded; I looked at him and waited.
"Would you ever wait for me?"
"Until time stopped and the earth dies, I would wait for you."
He blinked confused, I knew he didn't understand I waited.
"What is this about?"
I asked he looked at me.
"Is this because I missed my period last month?"
He looked at me, we had a pregnancy scare but it was nothing just cycle change, I asked my doctor and she said it was because I became sexually active. He smiled it was strange when I tol;d him about it he just sat paralyzed with a strange smile, I looked at him he seemed even more sad.
"Zach what's wrong?"
He sighed and I kissed his lips softly.
"I got a letter"
I waited for him and ran my fingers in his hair, he sighed looking at me, and caressed my face.
"I'm going to Iraq"
I blinked in shock I stared at him and felt my heart stop.
"No"
"I received a letter asking for my expertise"
I looked at Zach and hugged him close to.
"I didn't mean to upset you, please don't cry."
I just held him to me, he held me to him so this was why. I held him close to me and looked at him.
"Are you going?"
"I've been requested."
I kissed his lips and nodded looking at him, he held me close.
"Only for one year"
I held him more he petted my hair, and I looked at him he kissed me more and I let him, we slowly pulled off each others cloths and made love on the couch it the best four and a half hours we ever had.
