Thanks for the reviews and alerts. They've really been great.
I don't own Bones.
Ooooooooooooooooooooo
Deciding that it wasn't important to stay in Richmond over night, Booth had a final meeting with Agent Browne, dropped by the field office to let them know that he was leaving and then left for D. C. He had planned to stay in Richmond over night just in case their suspect showed up; but, at this point, he didn't feel that it was necessary and that Browne could handle it. By the time he got on the road it was 10:35 p.m. He decided not to call Brennan and wake her up. She'd find out that he was coming home soon enough.
Driving back, Booth felt tired; but, happy. He missed Brennan and he didn't care who knew it. The trip took a little over two hours and Booth used the time to relax. He loved to drive at night. It was peaceful.
Arriving at his apartment, Booth parked his SUV in his parking place and took the stairs up to his apartment because he didn't have the patience needed to wait for the elevator. Standing in front of his apartment door, Booth turned the key in the keyhole and then opened the door as quietly as possible. Closing the door very quietly, Booth walked down the hallway and stopped in the living room to put his gun in the gun safe. Smiling, he walked into their bedroom and saw Brennan asleep. Hearing her light breathing, Booth turned to his dresser, got out some clean boxers and walked out of the bedroom and down the hall to the main bathroom. After he had showered, he walked back to the bedroom, leaned over the bed and saw that Brennan was awake. Smiling, he picked up the top sheet and slid on to the bed, under the sheet, next to Brennan.
Putting his arms around Brennan, Booth put his chin on her shoulder and said, "I couldn't sleep without you."
Brennan had been awake for awhile. She had awoken to the sound of water running in the bathroom and got out of bed to investigate. She had opened the bathroom door and had seen Booth's clothes on the clothes hamper and that he was in the shower. Smiling, she had gone back to bed to wait for him.
Now that he was with her, she said, "I'm glad you're home, Booth." Turning in his arms, Brennan leaned up and kissed Booth. Smiling, he returned her kiss.
Hugging her tightly, Booth said, "There's no way I would have got to sleep tonight in Richmond."
Laughing, Brennan said, "I told you I should have gone with you."
Nodding his head, Booth kissed Brennan again.
Ooooooooooooooooooooo
The next day, Brennan and Booth woke up at 6 a.m.. They had a lot of things to do if they wanted to have lunch together; so, they would have to start their work day early.
At 09:00 a.m., Brennan told Cam she had an appointment and left for her meeting with Tim, Caroline and the judge. Booth worked on paper work until his meeting with Cullen at 9:45. The meeting with Cullen lasted for an hour and a half. Finally free, Booth drove over to the Jeffersonian and walked into Brennan's office. He knew she would come back to her office after her meeting; so, he decided to wait for her there.
Ooooooooooooooo
Booth was still a little tired from the long day he had the previous day; so, he had lain down on Brennan's couch and closed his eyes. Booth had been asleep for about fifteen minutes when he heard a noise and woke up. Not moving, Booth heard Angela and Hodgins whispering at the doorway to Brennan's office.
"You're not going to tell him are you?" Angela asked.
"Are you crazy, I am not telling him that Dr. B might be messing around on him," Hodgins whispered too loudly. "Come on let's go back to your office. Dr. B. should be back any minute. We are not getting involved."
Puzzled, Booth lay on the couch thinking. After a few minutes he went back to sleep.
Ooooooooooooooooooooo
Booth had been asleep for twenty minutes when Brennan came back from her meeting. Walking through the doorway, she saw Booth sleeping on her couch. Walking over to the couch, Brennan bent over and kissed him on his ear. Waking with a start, Booth rolled over and smiled at Brennan.
"Hey, you're back. Are you ready for lunch?" Booth asked.
Smiling, Brennan said, "Yes, I'm very hungry."
Standing up, Booth put his hands on her waist and said, "Did you know that Hodgins and Angela think you're having an affair?"
Concerned, Brennan said, "What? Why? Wait, how do you know that they think I'm having an affair?"
Smiling, Booth said, "I was lying here and I think they thought I was asleep. They were whispering in you doorway about whether they should tell me or not."
Shaking her head, Brennan said a little angrily, "I don't understand why they think I'm having an affair with someone. They know we're living together and I'm pregnant. What kind of person do they think I am?"
Leaning his head against her forehead, Booth said, "Someone must have seen you with Tim. Instead of sticking their noses into your business and asking you what's going on like they normally do; they've decided to keep mum about it to spare my feelings I guess. They're just busy bodies Bones. They see something out of the ordinary and they make a lot of assumptions. You know they treat my life and your life like a book they have to read."
Angry, Brennan said, "This is why I don't like gossip. Instead of finding out what the facts are they run rampant with speculation. I don't appreciate that one bit."
Nodding his head, Booth said, "I don't either. I don't like them gossiping about you and I don't like it when they gossip about me either. Want to get revenge and teach them a lesson at the same time?"
Pursing her lips, Brennan said, "I don't want you to shoot them."
Laughing Booth said, "No violence, I promise. Well, not much. I think if we put our heads together we can come up with something to embarrass the hell out of them. Maybe if it's bad enough, they'll keep their noses out of our business from now on."
Smiling, Brennan said, "Alright. We can talk about it at lunch."
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Well, Booth and Brennan are very irritated. Hodgins and Angela are about to find out that listening to Sweets can get them into more trouble than it's worth. Review if you have the time. Thanks.
