Sorry for the long wait. I've been camping for the past 4 or 5 days and have had no cell and computer access. I hope this chapter makes up for it.
Also, thanks to all the reviews I received on the last chapter. I'm starting to get the same amount I used to, and I couldn't be more proud and happier. Please keep it up! Here's chapter 15! Enjoy!
Temperance Brennan awoke the next day in the arm's of one Seeley Booth. The sun was shining, the birds' were singing, and her life couldn't be better. For 5 long minutes she just layed there, watching her partner, friend, and now...boyfriend. She admired this man, she adored this man, she loved this man. She then noticed his eyes began to flutter, and soon enough, they were open, looking right back at her.
"Good morning Bones." he spoke with a huge smile on his face.
"Good morning Booth."
"Do you always watch the men in your bed while they're sleeping?" he asked, laughing.
"Most men in my bed are gone by the time I wake up." she confessed.
"Oh, well…I must be a lucky guy."
"Yeah, or a good guy, a loyal guy, the guy."
He laughed. "Thanks Bones. I'm looking forward to waking up next to you for the rest of my life."
"As am I." she said, laughing.
"So are we going to tell people about us?" he asked.
"Don't you think we should torture them a little bit first?"
"Ha, what do you have in mind?"
Later that day, Booth and Brennan walked into the Jeffersonian holding hands. Cam, Angela, Hodgins, and Wendell were all standing on the platform. Angela looked down and saw her favorite non-couple….holding hands! And then another shock came, Booth kissed Brennan on the cheek and walked away.
"Guys! Did you see that?" she asked the other people around her.
"See what Angela?" Hodgins asked.
"Booth kissed Brennan! And they were holding hands!"
"I didn't see anything." Cam said.
"Neither did I." Wendell agreed.
"Ange, it must just be wishful thinking or pregnancy hormones."
"Pregnancy hormones?" Cam asked.
"You're pregnant?" Wendell butted in.
"Ugh, we didn't tell you?"
Cam and Wendell shook their heads slowly.
"I'm pregnant!"
It took everyone a second before Cam gave Angela a hug and said "Congratulations!"
Wendell went over and shook Hodgins hand.
"I'm happy for you." he confessed.
"Thanks Wendell. That means a lot."
"What's with all the excitement?" Brennan asked, walking onto the platform.
"Angela's pregnant!" Cam exclaimed.
"Yes. I was already aware. I am very happy for her and Dr. Hodgins."
"Thanks sweetie!" Angela said, running over to give her a hug.
"We have something we need to talk about." she whispered in Brennan's ear.
"We do?"
"Yes. Your office. Now."
"But I was going to…."
"No excuses. Let's go." Angela turned back around to her friends and colleagues. "This might take a few minutes. We'll be right back."
Angela dragged Brennan into her office and sat her down on the couch.
"Spill." Angela stated.
"Spill what?" she asked nervously.
"I saw you and Booth holding hands. And then I saw him kiss you on the cheek!"
Brennan was taken aback. She wasn't expecting anyone to see that.
"What? That's preposterous. Booth and I weren't holding hands and he definitely did not kiss me." she lied.
"I know what I saw Bren. Don't lie."
"Angela, I'm not lying. You did not see us doing whatever it is you think you saw us doing. We're not even a couple."
"So? That doesn't mean you can't hold hands and kiss each other on the cheek!"
"Yeah, but we didn't. I'm sorry Angela. You did not see Booth and I doing either of those things. Now I have work to do so if you would excuse me…."
"I'll find out Bren. I know I wasn't seeing things. I will find out the truth, and when I do...I'm going to give both you and Booth the biggest hug I have ever given someone. But I'll still be a little mad that you didn't tell me as soon as this little union happened."
"Goodbye Angela."
"Bye sweetie."

Booth was sitting at his desk when his phone buzzed. He looked at the screen as it read:
1 New Message
Bones
"Angela caught us holding hands and saw you kiss me. I got her off our butt for now, but she's still a little suspicious. See you later. Bones."
He wrote back:
"I think you mean off our trail, and good job. But I think it would be safer just to tell her. But it's your decision. See you later ;) Booth.
Brennan read Booth's message and thought about what they should do. She knew it was probably driving Angela crazy thinking she was just seeing things, and that could possibly be bad for the baby. But she wasn't sure if she was ready for everyone to know. She knew everybody would be happy and over escastic about it, but she still found herself being scared.
After a couple minutes of contemplating the pro's and con's, she decided it was best to just tell everyone. She sent Booth a message to let him know about her decision.
"Booth, I have decided to tell everyone about our relationship. If you would like to be there when I do so, let me know. Bones."
"Yes, I would like to be there when you do it, but I would like to do it in a clever way. Can you wait just one more day? We can think of things tonight. Booth."
"Sure. I would like to hear your ideas, I think they will be very interesting ;)"
Brennan couldn't help but be overwhelmed. Their secret was about to be known to their closest friends, who have waited for this since day one. In her heart though, she knew that over 6 years of dancing around each other was probably getting old to some people, so maybe it was best to put them out of their misery. Finally!
Do I even have to say it? Please review! ;)
