WOW! Its been so long! I'm terribly sorry for making you all wait for this chapter! Life has been hectic for me! There isnt much action in this chapter, I did this because the next chapter [which you will be happy, or at least I hope happy to know, that I have started on already] is going to have a lot of action in it. && SPOILERS! But this is all BB, also some of you may notice that in a few chapters back I said Booth would be coming over to her house for Thanksgiving, I changed that in this chapter to Christmas. Sorry for the change but it was more appropriate concidering its a few days away. So with that said I hope you like this chapter so far, the next one should be up tomorrow night? Or Tuesday afternoon, either way it will be up soon because I am excited to write it!

Chapter: 5;

It works out in the end;

Booth sat at his desk looking out the window. It had been a hell of week, being accused of murdering one of his friends was one of the worst things he had ever gone through. If it wasn't for Bones he would still be going through all the interrogations and bureau hassles. He knew all along, as well as everyone else he worked with, that he was innocent from the get go, but when people were accused of a crime like that, murder, they do everything they can to prove their selves innocent. Booth had spent a lot of his time this week doing that.

"I don't know how I could have missed this before!" Bones called out circling the table with the remains on it.

Booth and Hodgins were on the opposite side of the table watching her as she appeared to find something new. "What is it Bones?" Booth asked her leaning down in front of the table to see what she was looking at it.

"I can prove your innocent, Booth!" she said happily leaning up removing her gloves and pulling out her cell phone. "Polypropylene glycol," she said dialing out on her phone looking at a stunned Hodgins and a confused Booth.

Booth chuckled to himself thinking back on yesterday's events. Bones found something that changed all the signs from his direction to someone else they were investigating in the murder of Luc. At the moment she said all that he could have grabbed her up and kissed her senseless for being such a wonderful scientist and an even better friend… partner. But of course he didn't. He just thanked her a dozen times with one of their 'guy hugs' it pleased Booth to know that not only did she prove his innocents in the case, but that she was happy with herself. She stopped blaming herself because she couldn't find anything to tie someone else to the murder.

It hurt Booth more to know that Bones could actually accuse herself as being a bad scientist. Bones wasn't a bad anything in his eyes. She was perfect even with some of her non-human faults. But she was working on those with his help of course. Booth was brought out of his daze when he heard a faint knock on his door, he turned in his chair to see a beautiful woman standing there with a smile pressed to her perfect lips.

His partner. His Bones.

"Wasn't I right?" she said with a grin walking into his office.

"About what?" he teased with a grin leaning forward on his desk watching her look out the window for a moment seeing snow starting to fall.

"It all works out in the end," she whispered looking back at him. She walked over and leaned on his desk as he sat in his chair next to her.

He leaned back in his chair and smiled at her, god she was beautiful. Booth took that moment to look over her face thoroughly; he had done it a million times before. He knew every curve and beauty blemish on her face. He looked down with his eyes seeing her get that somewhat uneasy look on her face with him looking at her like he was. "So what did you do last night?" he blurted out.

She chuckled and crossed her arms over her chest; it wasn't a defensive move which was good. "Got some take out and worked on my book," she said casually. Last night was Booth's night to get Parker and although he invited her to come to the diner with him and Parker for dinner she still didn't want to interfere in his time with his son. "How was the celebration with Parker?"

Booth smiled and folded his hands behind his head, "It was nice. I never explained everything to Parker about what was going on, but I explained to him that it was all over and that everything with me and my job would be fine. So he was happy." Booth sucked some air between his teeth and sighed. He felt relaxed now, more relaxed then he had felt in a long time.

Bones could see it too and she was happy that he finally had a chance to breathe without worrying. "I'm glad. So is Rebecca still taking Parker for Christmas?" Bones asked a little hesitantly. She knew he was touchy on the subject. She didn't want to ruin the moment by making him sad, but she wanted to make sure he was still coming over for dinner at her apartment.

Booth frowned a little and leaned his elbows on his desk while looking down. He hated to think he would be without Parker again this year for Christmas. Bones straightened up and uncrossed her arms, she could see that the subject made him sad maybe a little uneasy so she stepped away a little. Booth's eyes shot to her, his face softened seeing the look on her face. "If you're asking if I'm still coming over on Christmas, the answer is yes. Rebecca and her new boyfriend are taking Parker to Miami," Booth said a little disgusted.

Bones leaned over and put her hand on his shoulder, "I'm sorry Booth. I can't imagine how you feel, not being able to have him again for Christmas," she said softly. Rebecca did this to him last year too, although Parker escaped to the bureau, Booth still had to take him back to his mothers after he gave her … her family their Christmas tree. Bones smiled at the memory and saw Booth smiling at her; he must have been thinking the same thing she thought?

She moved her hand off his shoulder and tucked some of her hair behind her ear before moving around the other side of his desk. Booth stood up abruptly seeing her act as if she was about to leave. He put his hands in his pockets and walked around his desk, leaning on it a little, Bones standing not even a few inches away from him. "You leaving?" he asked softly, almost hurt.

Brennan frowned some, why did he seem so hurt now? Maybe it was because you just mentioned him not having his son for Christmas again this year and then you make a sudden move to leave, not so good, Temperance! She chuckled a little, "I have to get a few things from my office before they lock up for the holiday break, besides that I have some shopping to do still," she said slightly blushing. She still had to get Booth's gift, it took her so long to figure out what she was going to get him, but she finally came up with the perfect gift.

Booth caught onto her slight blush and maybe thought it was for him? He was sure, so he decided to just joke with her a little, "Ah, I see, you still have to get my gift huh? Don't worry Bones I'm sure whatever it is, I'll love it," he said with a proud chuckle.

Bones rolled her eyes, "Yes well, I hope that you will like it Booth, after all your not the easiest person to buy for you know!" she said seriously.

Seeley laughed and shook his head. "Me?" he pointed to himself, "I highly doubt that Bones! You have no idea how hard it was for me to … to you know, pick out your gift, for you sometimes it can be so difficult!" he said almost hysterically with laughter.

Her eyebrows furrowed inward, "What's that supposed to mean?" she said a little hurt and confused.

Booth leaned up and shook his head knowing that he said it the wrong way, sometimes he forgot how literal she could be. "I mean that when it comes to getting gifts for you, its hard for me to pick out the right thing," he said almost bashfully. Sure Booth gave her little things before, Jasper the pig and the Brainy Smurf, but those weren't gifts, they were just reminders to her that someone cared… that someone was listening to her. "I always wanna make sure it's perfect, that you'll –you'll like it." He blushed.

"Oh," she said softly biting the side of her lip feeling her cheeks get hot. "Well I love everything you've ever given me so far, Booth," she said with a smile. "I should, um, I should get going," she said pointing behind her turning her heal to leave. She turned around to see him right behind her as if he was going to stop her before she could leave, they were inches apart again. She looked into his eyes, "So I'll see you on Thursday?" she whispered almost breathlessly.

Booth smiled at her and nodded, "I'll be there… with bells on," he chuckled.

Temperance looked at him confused, "Well I know its Christmas and all Booth, but I'm sure wearing bells it's a little much."

Seeley laughed and rubbed his eyes, "It's an expression Bones, I'm not really coming over with bells on, just … don't you have stuff to do?" he grinned at her motioning his hand to the door.

"Ohhh, right!" She chuckled getting his little expression, about the bells. She smirked at him and turned on her heal to leave again, this time when she got to the door she turned to see him standing in the same spot looking at her. "Thursday, right?" she said softly.

"Thursday." He simply said watching her smile before disappearing completely from his depth perception. Booth stood there smiling like an idiot, whether Bones knew it or not, the fact that she was so dead set on him being at her house on Christmas, and not spending it alone, meant so much to him.

Not as long as the others I know but its been hectic for me lately. Sooo tell me, how did you like this little BB chapter!? Chapter: 6 -Stealing Seeley is coming soon.
