When I originally started this I figured there might be more adult moments. However, I got to here and thought this would be a good ending.

So tell me what you think. Should I try to take it a chapter or two further or leave it where it is.

Booth had to admit the drive across the island was beautiful the weather here was fantastic. The Islands need a field office overseen by him, he could see living there and working. He smirked, rough life but someone would have to sacrifice for it and he would be willing to make that sacrifice. He grinned as he pulled the car charger out and plugged it in and then plugged the phone in.

He powered up his phone and finished listening to his voice mail. "Oh God no, don't let her give up. She thinks I am ignoring her calls. He quickly hits the speed dial for her phone and stares out at the ocean as it begins to ring. It finally went to voice mail, crap. He ended the call without leaving a message, he needed to get back to DC, he had to talk to her.

He headed back for the condo after he checked out flights and found he was not going to be able to get one until the next afternoon. After booking the flight, he cursed as he tossed the phone in the seat next to him. How is it possible that ever single flight they have is booked, did I hit the end of the season rush to leave. Okay, make the best of it, it will give you time to figure out what you want to say to her to convince her you belong together.

Booth got back to the condo and headed up to begin getting his stuff pack. He found himself standing in front of the bathroom mirror practicing what he wanted to say to her. "I am going to drive myself nuts doing this. I need to take a walk. I need to get someone to pick me up from the airport, where the hell is my cell phone?" He stood there thinking, "Jesus Christ" he went tearing out of the door to the condo and back to the car where he left the cell phone laying in the seat.

Brennan had gotten dressed and noticed her cell flashing as she picked it up. Her heart almost stopped as she saw his name on the screen. She hurriedly called him and just closed her eyes as she heard the familiar voice mail message. She ended the call and slid her phone into her pocket, slipped on her helmet and headed back down to sit on the beach.

As she sat on the beach she wondered if she should just head home and wait for him to come home and talk with her. It seemed pretty obvious he was down here to think things through, maybe decide if he should move on from her, or maybe he had with some blonde island hottie. Tempe stop thinking that way, you know that is not true, you are just trying to find excuses to feel bad.

Booth grabbed his phone and saw her name on the screen. He started to laugh, this was something directly out of a movie, they keep missing each others calls, they are not able to tell the other one they love them and they end giving up on the other one. "Only in the bad movies," Booth growled, then looked around sheepishly hoping no one heard him.

He pushed the speed dial for her phone. As it rang he headed for the beach to walk. "Booth" her voice sounded like honey to him.

A smile slowly crept up his face, "Hey"

"I've been trying to call you."

"I noticed, you wanted to talk."

"Yeah, but not over the phone."

"I will be home tomorrow night."

"You-you will."

"Yeah is that okay."

"I don't know if I will be there."

"Why" he stopped

"I sort of …"

"Sort of what Bones?" he wasn't sure if he liked where this was going.

"It is just when you left town, I … I … and you didn't answer my voice mails … and …."

"Look if you are going to tell me you … me …isn't going to work, just do it, you don't need to see me to do that."

"Booth no, I … no that is not what I want to tell you."

"Bones why did you leave DC?"

"I could ask you the same question."

"I asked first."

"But you left first." That one stung him; he did leave when things were getting tough.

He sighed heavily, "I left because I was trying to prepare myself for you telling me you have moved on."

"Why would you think I had moved on?"

"Oh come on Bones, do you remember any of what happened in your bedroom, any of what was said."

"Yes" she said so softly that he almost didn't hear her."

"Yeah, well … that is why."

"So what have you found?" She spotted him walking on the beach towards her. His pant legs rolled up slightly so keep them from getting wet, his left hand in his jean pocket, he was wearing a white wife beater T-shirt and the very site of him made her gasp.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, why?"

"You gasp."

"Spider" he looked at the phone funny, she wasn't afraid of spiders. He shrugged it off.

She hurried up a path that led back up to the parking area where her moped was. He couldn't see her where she was but she could watch him. No reason to let him know she was stalking him if he was going to turn her away.

"So where were we?"

"What you found being away?"

"Oh yeah, Bones you are part of me, you have infected ever fiber in me." he paused for a quick moment, "That is just freaky, that came out way to squinty for me, but you get the point. You are part of me, and I went away to figure out how to be around you every day as just your partner. To be honest Bones I don't know if I can, because I love ... I just don't know if I can."

"You love me?"

"Geez Bones, Yes, yes, I love you. I have loved you from the day I first saw you. I have told you before I love you. I love you so much it hurts." He started up the trail she had just walked. She was now sitting on a bench, which blocked her view of the beach and the trail. She started to cry, she never thought anyone could love her, much less love her as much as he did. "Bones, don't cry, it is not a bad thing. That kind of love is a gift. Only a few lucky people get to share that love and I think we did ... or hopefully still do."

"Booth I did something."

He stopped walking and his jaw tensed up, "What did you do Bones?"

"I abused power?"

"Bones what does this have to do with us?"

"I abused powers to find you."

He was silent for several seconds as he processed what she said, then he started to scan the beach and all areas within eyes shot. "What did you do Bones?" he was trying not to smile.

"I made Hacker find you."

He couldn't help but chuckle, "Like you blackmailed me into taking you into the field."

"Kind of, but I threatened the Jeffersonian partnership."

He couldn't help but laugh as he was still trying to find her. "Exactly like you blackmailed me. You can see me can't you?"

"I could, but then I sat down."

"Tell me where you are?" He was standing not 10 feet in front of her when she stood up, his back to her as he scanned the beach looking for her."

"You won't find me looking that way."

He heard her voice but not over his phone, he turned around to find her tear streaked face tipped down and her looking out from under her eyelashes at him. He smiled as he ended the call and put his cell phone in his pocket.

He walked up to her, looked into her eyes and gently kissed her lips "Hi" his eyes were smiling along with his mouth, "We have a lot of talking to do." She nodded, he held out his hand and she took it as they walked back to the beach to enjoy the sunset together.
