I don't own Bones, I know I have 206 in my body, but the Bones from Fox isn't mine.

This one is for Haley, who asked for a little Booth and Bones.

Anticipation

When Booth returned from the press conference, he met with his team. They reviewed the tapes from the Jeffersonian, and found one dark image. They sent it to Angela to see if she could enhance it.

.

"Angela what do you have for me, darlin'?"

"You think flattery is going to work on me?"

"Right now, I'll try anything I can. I just want to get this guy."

"Well, the cameras on the grounds didn't pick anything usable up, and the shot they sent me was the security guard. Don't get that pouty face, I found something else."

Booth instantly brightened.

"Angela I love, you." He kissed her on the cheek, just as Bones walked into the office.

"Oh, I see how it is, leaving me for the one with the most information."

"No Bones, you'll always be my number one, but Angela may have us a killer."

"Don't get too excited, Studly, it may not be enough."

She pulled the photo up on the screen.

"Now, this was from inside the conservatory. He entered from behind, breaking the glass, he had his face shrouded, so I didn't get a good image, but using the reflections from the surrounding glass, I was able to get an indistinct image. The enhancement just finished, so we can see what it looks like."

They looked at the screen to see the face of the killer.

"Angela I can't use this."

"Look I did the best I could. He had something over his face, and it was dark. The infrared cameras didn't provide enough of an image. I can give you height, weight, and basic body build, but this is the best I could do."

The picture showed an outline of his face, but the features were extremely distorted. They could see eyes nose and mouth, but the background was so blurry, that it could have been a picture of anybody. It reminded Booth of the ultrasound pictures of the baby.

"Booth, you have to remember the outside cameras aren't there to catch killers. There is nothing of importance outside, so they only pick up weak distorted images. The picture was taken from inside a building through the glass walls of the conservatory."

"Angela, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to blame you. I just want to catch this guy."

"It's ok Booth, I forgive you."

She leaned over and hugged him. He turned to Bones.

"How about you Bones, do you have anything for me?"

"Her name was Mrs. Jacquelyn White, she was 28 years old and lived in Pine Grove West Virginia. She has a two-year-old girl. Booth, I don't know if I can do this. Can you take someone else?"

"Yeah, I'll take Agent Shaw, but I will have to stay overnight. I want you to stay at Angela's. I don't want you home alone."

"Sure Booth, no problem."

Booth was shocked at her reply. He was waiting for an argument.

"Bones, are you ok?"

"Yes Booth, why do you ask?"

"You agreed with me."

"I'm just tired of it. I want to catch him Booth. I want this to stop."

"Me too Bones, me too."

.

.

They left work and stopped at the diner to eat.

"Bones, how are you feeling?"

"OK, she's moving a lot now, so it occasionally disturbs my sleep. However, the naps help during the day. You should be able to feel her moving, Booth. "

"Really? Can I feel her now?"

"She's not moving now. During the day as I am moving and walking my amniotic fluid creates a soothing atmosphere for her to sleep in, but in the evenings when I am less active, she wakes up and becomes more active."

"So tonight when we go to bed I will be able to feel her?"

"Yes, but we will have to wait a while after having sex. The movement and activity puts her to sleep."

"Bones, don't talk about that here."

"Why Booth, I'm already pregnant, I'm sure most people know how that happened."

"Well yes, but we don't have to tell them about it."

"I have a difficult time understanding how you can be so skilled sexually, but not want to talk about it."

"I don't mind talking about it, just not in public."

"Then what do you want to talk about?"

"Buying a house."

"I already told you I want to buy a house."

"Bones, can we start looking this weekend? This case has been draining; I need something to cheer me up."

"Looking at houses will cheer you up?"

"Looking at houses with you will cheer me up."

"I guess we can start. I wanted to wait until the case is solved, but if you want, I will concede to your wishes."

"Thanks, Bones."

He leaned across the table and kissed her. She pulled him closer and deepened the kiss. He instantly felt his body react to her, as he pulled himself away.

"Why did you stop? I was enjoying it."

"So was I Bones, but not here."

"Then can we leave? I would like to finish what you started."

"We can definitely leave. Let me get the check."

He paid for their meals, and placing his hand on the lower part of her back led her to the SUV. He opened the door for her, and seeing that look of exasperation that he was coming to love, helped her into the car.

She placed her hand on his leg while he drove, drawing lazy circles on his inner thigh. He was having a difficult time concentrating on the road, so he moved her hand to her lap.

"Why did you stop me?" She asked in a deep sexy voice. He knew she was also affected by the kiss.

"I want to get home in one piece."

She laughed. "Do I still have that effect on you?"

"Bones you will always have that effect on me. I can't believe that you don't see it."

"Oh, I see it; I just like to watch you fall apart."

He turned to look at her.

"You are such a tease Temperance Brennan. What would your father say?"

"I think my father would agree that it was about time. We danced around each other for far too long. I never realized what I was missing."

"And what was that Bones?" he asked, as he turned to her, after parking the car.

"That I love you."

His breath caught in his throat. He turned to look in her eyes. He remembered that she said it the other night as he held her in his arms, but it was so soft, that he wasn't sure if he heard right, but he didn't ask because he knew not to push her. The last time he did that, he lost her for over a year.

He pulled her into his arms and held her.

"Bones, I love you too. More than you will ever know."

He looked at her and gently kissed her lips. He again felt his body react to her touch. How does she do this to him? He thought back to all the girls he had from high school, until now. Never had he reacted like this to a touch. It felt like she lit a fire in his soul, and the only way to put it out was to take her. He again pulled away, reluctantly.

"Refusing me again Seeley Booth? Twice in one night, I may wonder what's going on."

"Bones, I am not taking you in the car. Although I dreamt about it many times over the years, we have a perfectly good bed right up those stairs. Would you like to join me?"

"Definitely."

He opened the door, and they walked into her apartment building. They were alone in the elevator, and she again, kissed him deeply.

"You are in so much trouble as soon as we walk through that door."

She laughed, but looked at him with longing in her eyes. The doors opened and he took her hand and led her down the hall. They entered the apartment, and as the door closed, he pressed her against it and kissed her.

When they pulled apart, she looked at him.

"I thought you wanted the bed?"

"Forget it." He said and kissed her again.
