Hope you like this one :) I've had 2 snow days and I've had plenty of time to write more of both of my stories. So hopefully next update should be tomorrow or the day after, depending on the internet as it's been playing up :(

Can't wait for twitter Bones tomorrow :)

And 14th means NEW BONES :D

R&R


"Happy two month anniversary Bones."

"Happy two month anniversary Booth." The two of them lay in bed early Thursday morning. "Can we do the movie thing tonight? The thing you mentioned a month ago?"

"Sure Bones. You got any ideas of what you want to watch?"

"Surprise me." Brennan said, kissing him briefly before going for a shower. Booth smiled, loving how he could wake up in the morning with a beautiful woman in his arms. His partner and best friend. He pulled himself out of bed and began to look through his DVDs.

"Chuck and Larry and Grudge 1 and 2 sound OK Bones?" He shouted through the bathroom door. It drove him crazy knowing she was in his shower.

"Yeah. I've never seen them before."

"I guessed as much. Pancakes alright?"

"I'll make it when I'm out Booth. You cooked last night."

"But what if I want you to make your delicious Mac 'N' Cheese tonight?"

"Do you?"

"Do I what?"

"Want me to make Mac 'N' Cheese?"

"If you want to."

"Is that your way of subtly telling me yes?"

"Maybe."

"Fine. Pancakes sound great Booth. I'll be out in a few." Booth smiled to himself as he walked into his kitchen looking through his cupboards for everything he needed. He heard the shower turn off and saw Brennan walking into their room with just a towel. 'Wait? When did I think of it as our room? I suppose I haven't slept without her in a while. Our room? Sounds good.'

"Booth have you seen my white shirt I left here?"

"Which one?"

"The one you spilt water down."

"The see-through one?" Brennan smiled at the memory. He had bumped into her at the Lab, resulting in water being spilt all down her shirt. Her bra wasn't appropriate for a see through top. Leopard print. Booth had quickly run to his car, got his spare dress shirt which was always in the SUV and quickly put it on her. They had been together for a few weeks when this happened but even then Brennan could tell that this wasn't going to be some stupid fling. She could see it in his eyes and he could see it in hers.

"That's the one Booth."

"Yeah it's in your drawer under the picture of me, you and Parker at the park." Brennan found the shirt and put it on. She had just finished getting ready when Booth had called her for breakfast.

"You're not dressed Booth." Brennan said walking into his kitchen.

"I'll do it later." The two ate breakfast in comfortable silence sharing smiles and glances.

"I'll see you later Bones." Booth said as he kissed Brennan in his SUV outside the Jeffersonian. "You still on for tonight?"

"Yeah."

"You OK?"

"Yeah."

"Bones? What's up?"

"Nothing. I've just got a lot of work on today."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I'll talk to you later. Bye." Brennan got out of the car leaving Booth stumped as to what could be bothering her. Sighing, he drove off to work, eagerly awaiting tonight. Knowing tonight was the night.

When Brennan walked into the Jeffersonian she instantly went to her office to try and calm herself down. 'How do I know? I think I know. I want to tell him. I need to tell him. Tonight. I'll tell him tonight. I think. If only Angela knew about us. It would make things so much easier. How am I going to tell him? I don't want to lose his friendship, I can't.' Sighing Brennan placed her head in her hands and tried to shake out all thoughts of Booth. She turned on her computer and started to work on her book. There wasn't a present case and the interns were working on identifications in Limbo and publisher wanted a few new chapters within two weeks.

'What's up with her? She isn't having doubts is she? I expected her to freak out during the first month but now? I just wish she'd told me and not lied. We'll talk tonight and then I'll tell her. She needs to know'. Booth was in his office. He looked at the mountain of paperwork on his desk. Sighing, he realised that this was the best way to get rid of any thoughts about her.

Three hours later and it was 12pm. He sent Brennan a text.

'Bones. You OK? B x'

A couple of minutes later he received a reply.

'I'm fine. Just got a couple of things to think about. B x'

Booth read it and sighed. She was freaking out.

'Bones, talk to me tonight. Please x'

Booth sent it, hoping that she would tell him. He wanted to help her. He eagerly awaited a reply.

'I'll tell you everything. Promise x'

Booth didn't know whether to smile or not. Smile at the fact that she was going to tell him, which seemed like she wanted their relationship to work. But this could mean that she was going to tell him it wasn't working. He continued with his paperwork, working right through lunch.

It was just past 6pm when Booth came to get Brennan. Hardly anybody was in the Lab, only Cam in her office.

"Hey baby." Booth said coming up behind her and kissing the side of her neck, wrapping his arms around her waist. "You ready?"

"Yeah." Brennan said, not wanting to say too much in fear of telling him. Now wasn't the time.

"You OK?" Booth continued to kiss her neck.

"I'll tell you when we get home." Booth nodded and let go of her. She collected her things and they walked out of the Lab together, Booth's hand on her back.

The ride home was quiet. Neither knew what to say. Both wanted to wait until they got home to say it. Brennan knew she had to tell him soon or she wouldn't be able to do it.

Booth parked the car and they walked up to his apartment. Brennan grabbed his hand and laced her fingers through hers. This reassured Booth because she surely wouldn't do this if she was going to break up with him right? Brennan decided as soon as they were in the apartment she would tell him. She would sit him down and just say it. Like ripping off a band-aid.

As soon as Booth shut the door, Brennan took his hand and led him to the couch.

"I have to say something Booth. You don't have to say anything afterwards and I can leave if you want. But I really need to tell you." Brennan took a deep breath and took his hands in hers.

"Bones -." Brennan cut him off.

"Don't. I need to tell you. Otherwise I'll chicken out and get scared." Taking a deep breath she said it. "I love you." Booth's eyes widened. He remained silent and Brennan took this as a rejection. "OK. I just needed you to know. I'll go home."

"No. Bones. Don't you understand. I thought you were going to break up with me."

"Oh. I wasn't." Booth smiled.

"I got that Bones." Booth leaned in to kiss her, but just before his lips touched hers. "I love you too." Booth kissed her and he felt her smile. It was one of the best moments of his life. "I love you so much Bones."

"Movie?" Brennan asked Booth as he pressed small kisses to her lips, eventually moving down to her neck.

"Movie." Booth said, not moving or stopping. Brennan attempted to push him off but it was half hearted. She was more than satisfied sitting there with Booth kissing her.

Eventually Booth got up and put the movie in. He waited until it had started playing before he sat down. He was always cautious when sitting next to her. He never knew whether to hold her or not.

"Booth?" Brennan said about five minutes into the movie.

"Yeah baby?"

"You can touch me you know."

"What?!?" Booth asked, wondering where this came from.

"I mean you do at work and stuff, but when it's me and you, you never touch me as if we were a couple."

"Bones I touch you all the time."

"Sexually yes, but I meant like now. You never hold me. I'll admit I've never wanted to do things like that with previous men, but with you it feels right. I just wanted you to know." Brennan finished, feeling slightly embarrassed. Booth put his arm on her shoulders and pulled her close. Brennan allowed herself to be pulled closer and placed one hand on his chest and took hold of the other one. She curled into his side and put her head on his shoulder.

"Like that Bones?"

"Yeah Booth. Like that." Both looked up at each other and smiled. They knew that they would be OK. They were the centre. But most of all, they were Booth and Brennan.
