They pulled into the parking lot at Brennen's apartment fifteen minutes later and much to Booth and Brennen's dismay Angela joined them. Booth had carried Parker up to her apartment, the little boy had slept soundly the whole ride and had barely stirred when Booth had lifted him out of the car. While Booth carried Parker into Bones' room Angela pulled her into the kitchen.
"What's up with you and studly?" Angela saw a flicker of fear flash across Brennen's eyes. "He didn't hurt you did he I'll give him a piece of my mind if he did!" Angela started to move but Brennen pulled her back.
"No Ange Booth did not, nor ever will, hurt me why would you think that?" Brennen crossed her arms defensively and Angela put her hands on her hips and tilted her head.
"Well, you guys have been acting weird all day what's going on?"
"Nothing Ange, Nothing is going on!" Brennen heard Booth coming and glanced at Angela.
"Booth what's going on?" Brennen sighed she knew that Angela wasn't going to take no for an answer, she looked up at Booth who looked like a deer in the headlights. "You two have been acting weird all day and I need to know what's going on!" With that, Booth took the two remaining steps he needed to reach Brennen, pulled her to him and kissed her. They pulled apart and saw Angela, eyebrows raised and starting to get color in her cheeks.
"Oh, so thats what's going on...I'm gonna go now, Sweetie you call me tonight." She started to walk towards the door. "I want details!" And with that she turned on her heels and walked out the door, easing it gently shut behind her. Sully, who had been sitting on the couch the whole time was increasingly confused when Angela who was blushing walked by her, waved and left. She got up quietly and crept towards the kitchen. She peeked around the corner and saw Booth pull Brennen towards him by her hips and kiss her passionately his hands slowly working their way up so that he cupped her face tenderly in his hands. Sully got up and walked back to the living room then walked to the bathroom. Booth heard a soft shuffling noise coming from th hall and turned in time to see Sully walk by and shake her head, them continue to the bathroom. It wasn't thirty seconds before he felt Brennen shift in his arms.
"Booth, do you think it was the right thing telling Angela that we're...in a relationship?" Booth couldn't help bit feel happy inside when his Bones said that they were in an relationship. Although, he too had been having doubts about telling Angela. She was the mother of all gossip at the Jeffersonian; he could only imagine what rumors would be spread by Monday.
"I dunno Bones, I took a gamble and I don't know what the result is yet, but I can guarantee you we'll find the outcome soon enough," Brennen seemed to accept this answer and pressed her face back into his chest. She inhaled deeply, enjoying the scent of him.
"Dad where am I gonna sleep tonight?" Booth turned to see a sleepy Parker stumble into the kitchen.
"Your going to sleep in Bones' other guest room come on I'll show you," Booth placed a soft kiss on Brennen's cheek and turned to walk out of the kitchen, guiding his tired son. Brennen sighed but jerked her head up when she saw Sully walk down the hall past the kitchen.
"Sully, I wanted to thank you for saving us earlier today...you were the one who yelled" Sully looked down at her socks and blushed. She started to mumble something inaudible when Booth rounded the corner being followed closely by his son.
"Hey Bones, Parker was wondering if anyone wanted to watch a movie seeing as its only-" Booth checked his watch, "7:30?" Brennen glanced at Sully who had now taken a sudden interest in the ground. Brennen remembered how nervous a foster kid could feel when a situation came up that they didn't know how to respond to. Booth must have noticed to because he wrapped an arm around Sully's slim shoulders and started to talk to her about the movies that Parker had brought with him. Brennen smiled and started to make popcorn for the movie.
Parker had picked one of the older Indiana Jones movies and was telling everyone that this was in fact the best of the movies. Brennen walked into the living room carrying a large bowl of popcorn and Booth eyed it ravenously as she set it down on the coffee table. Booth put the disc into the dvd player and took his seat on the couch next to Brennen. Parker had spread a blanket on the floor next to the couch and had boughten out pillows to make it more comfortable. Brennen glanced up and saw Sully standing awkwardly on the edge of the room, she was about to speak when Parker cut in.
"Hey Sul I saved you a seat, come on the movie's about to start!" Sully's face broke into a smile at the little boys enthusiasm. Booth smiled at his son as he wrapped his arm around Brennen's waist and pulled her closer to him. Brennen sighed and rested her head on Booth's shoulder. Booth listened to the movie but gradually started to fall asleep, he looked lazily at Brennen who had fallen asleep earlier and had her head resting on his lap. Parker and Sully were fully absorbed in the movie, laughing as Indiana Jones' father set fire to the room when they were tied to chairs. Booth looked at the girl who just days ago was afraid of him, he hoped that she wouldn't have to go. Booth switched positions and laid down next to his Bones. Sully suddenly flinched as he accidentally reached down and patted her head instead of Parker's. She looked up into Booth's chocolate brown eyes with an intensity that Booth felt like he was in interrogation. Her bright blue eyes then turned back to the movie as he ran his fingers through her bright blonde hair, he then did the same to Parker. Parker merely mumbled about his dad getting in the way of his movie watching. Booth smiled at his son then finally nodded off and let himself become overcome by a dreamless sleep.
