Yes, Bones this is love
End of chapter fifteen: Dinner
"The last time I saw her she was making her way towards you and little Booth. That must have been thirty minutes ago."
"Can you keep an eye on Parker for me? She's probably in her office. Parker wants to tell her goodnight." Leaving out the part that he wanted to as well.
"We wouldn't want Brennan to miss saying goodnight to either of her Booths would we?" The wink in the artist's eye silently showed him her thoughts. She was right, but he wasn't going to let her know she was.
"Don't worry Jack's got some new bugs and little Booth and him are playing with them. I would say you have about thirty to forty minutes before they know you're gone." Seeing her a warm smile, Booth marked one worry off his list for a moment. Now he needed to go find his soon to be wife.
After checking her office, Cam's office, the bathroom, and a few other rooms still no Bones. Then he took a chance walking into the ookie room, sending up a silent pray of thanks at seeing her standing with her back to the door.
"Bones, are you okay?"
"I'm fine Booth." But Booth could hear that she was trying to cover up her tears.
Chapter sixteen: Questions
"Bones, what is it?" Booth asked as he quickly took the last few steps to her side. Upon reaching her he gently turned her to face him. His breath caught in his chest as he looked at the most beautiful woman in the world with tears running down her face.
"For years I thought that sciences gave the only true answers. That if I couldn't reach out and touch, feel, or see it that it wasn't real. That coupled with if it wasn't a proven fact it didn't matter." He wordlessly stood watching and listening to her.
"Nothing's changed Booth. I still need proof. I still need that tangible item that makes things click in my world."
"You don't have to change Bones. Your insane drive for the facts and truth is part of you. I feel in love with all of you, not the part that speaks English to me." The smile throw her tears almost broke his heart.
"Yes, I know, but is that enough? I have no proof or facts that show that I love you. But, I can't see my life with out you and Parker in it."
"Then why are you so upset?"
"Cause the facts I have from the past are that sometimes love's not enough. Angela has had numerous lovers in the past. So has the rest of the team including each of us. At one point you loved Cam and another it was Hannah." Booth tensed a little at hearing her words. Yes, he had been with others. Even in away had loved them but, no one held a candle to the woman standing in front of him.
"Bones, you know how I feel for you right?"
"I know what you say Booth. But you once told me you loved Hannah. In fact you said it was serous as a heart attack. So how should I feel that now you say you love me that way? What does that mean?" Booth instantly knew he had to give her facts that she could touch.
"Bones, when you wake up in the mornings what's the first thing you think about?" She took a moment before answering.
"You."
"What is the last thing you think about before going to bed?"
"You."
"When something is brothering you who is you want to talk to?"
"You."
"When you need a guy hug who is it you turn to?"
"Parker" She answered with a small smile.
"Booth, you know that I want you to be happy. But, will you want to run the first time we fight? Will you find someone you don't have to explain things to? Someone who wants the same things that you do? Someone with the same faith you have?" He smiled at how well he truly did know his Bones.
"If I wanted to run and leave after our first fight we wouldn't be getting married tomorrow Bones! As far the explaining part I think it's a fifty-fifty on that one you do as much helping me as I do you." Her smile was again mixed with tears.
"Yes, Bones my faith is important to me. There have been many times it's been tested but, you know my faith is not that much different from yours." His words pulled her eyes to his.
"Booth, your faith is in a God that isn't here. Mine is in sciences. How are they close?"
"Cause you know that no matter what happens you can fall back on your knowledge to find an answer. I know no matter what happens that God is always ready to help me or listen to me. That's how."
"Are you scared?"
"Every day Bones every day."
"Of what?"
'She wants to know what I'm scared of?' Booth thought.
"I'm scared that everyday will be my last. I was scared of not finding the woman that I love the most in this world. What are you scared of?"
"I'm scared that tomorrow you will wake up and see that marrying me is a mistake. I'm scared that no matter what I do that I wont be good enough for you. I haven't been good enough for anyone else, why you should you be different?"
"Bones."
"No Booth, Sully left to go around the world, Hacker was well things don't work out for me in the long term. I don't know why I thought things would be different with you."
"Bones, I'm not Sully. And I am defiantly not Hacker."
"No, you're not you're more important to me then they ever were!" Her words came out with out thought.
"As are you Bones." His words were whispered as he drew her lips towards his. The kiss was short but full of passion.
"The pull that I feel each time you are near me. The feeling of needing to have you around me? Is that what you call love?" She asked as if it was a black and white or right or wrong question.
"Yes, Bones that is love. The way it makes you feel like you have been to the moon and back when the right one steps into the room. The way you know that the person across the room is the one that your meant to share the rest of your life with. The way that you are with me right now. This is love Bones. Sometimes its more about knowing the pull and feeling it. Then being able to point out the facts and how that it happens. Its knowing that no matter what happens that someone will always want you. They will always need you in their lives. Even when they are old and gray. What we share is love. Thank you for letting ours have a chance." He ended his speech with another short but no less passion filled kiss then the one before.
"Dad, what are you and mom doing in the ookey room?" Parkers voiced was heard from the doorway.
"The ookey room?" Booth asked pulling Bones closer to his body as if she wasn't close enough already.
"Yea that's what Zach called it." Was his son's answer.
The partners shared one last passion filled kiss before joining little Booth at the doorway. The goodbyes were short since the only ones left were Angela, Hodgins, Booth, Parker, and Bones. As soon as both Booth's were gone Angela started asking what was wrong? But, she stopped at seeing the cat that ate the cannier smile on her best friends face.
A/N: Now that all fears have been laid out on the table what happens next? What is the small surprise that Caroline and Sweets have for Booth and Bones?
