I don't own Bones.

Daisy hadn't wasted any time when she had got home telling her Lancelot that Booth had referred to Brennan as his wife.

Scrubbing her skin as hard as she could, Daisy yelled over the water pounding her from the shower head, "There he was talking to that deputy and then he says he's waiting for his wife to come and get him. He swears that he and Dr. Brennan aren't married; but, if that isn't true then why did he call her his wife?"

Staring at the shower curtain, Sweets said, "I don't know. If they are married then Booth has to make changes to his personnel file. As far as I know, he hasn't. Of course, I don't work in Human Resources; so, I guess it's possible. It's just that when Agents get married, I'm usually notified so I can make sure my records are up to date."

Standing still and thinking, Daisy said, "Maybe it's just wishful thinking. Agent Booth is old fashioned. Maybe he just thinks of Dr. Brennan as his wife."

Thinking about it for a few minutes, Sweets said, "I'll check with Human Resources Monday morning. They'll know."

Rubbing the soap on her skin as hard as possible, Daisy said, "If I don't get this skunk odor off of my skin I'm going to have to sleep on the couch. You won't be able to tolerate the smell."

Frowning, Sweets said, "Don't be ridiculous, Daisy. The smell won't bother me."

Leaning her head out of the shower, Daisy said, "If Agent Booth can't handle the smell then I know good and well you can't. He has some experience around decomposing bodies and you don't; so, if he can't tolerate the smell of a skunk then I assure you, you can't either."

Pouting, Sweets said, "Just because Booth can't do something doesn't mean I can't."

Shaking her head, Daisy said, "Remember that time that kid threw up next to us in the theater and then you threw up?"

Embarrassed, Sweets said, "OK, I get your point. Can we talk about something else, please?"

Ooooooooooooooooo

The next morning, Booth got up early enough to drive over to Angela and Hodgins' house to pick up Christine. He planned to stay only long enough to get his daughter and then drive her back home. It was Sunday and he planned to go to church after he took his daughter home.

Knocking on the door, Booth waited for Angela or Hodgins to answer the door. Not surprised, Booth found himself facing Angela when the door opened.

Smiling, Angela said, "Booth."

Expressionless, Booth said, "Angela."

Frowning, Angela said, "Ok, you have a lot of explaining to do."

Shaking his head, Booth said, "I've come to get Christine before I go to church, Angela. I appreciate you taking care of her yesterday and last night."

Stepping back, Angela motioned for Booth to come in. Once he was through the doorway, Angela closed the door and then turned to Booth and put her arms around Booth.

"Congratulations, Booth. Jack told me that you and Brennan are married now. I'm a little mad that I wasn't invited to the wedding; but, knowing Brennan it must have been just the two of you and a justice of the peace."

Sighing, Booth reached up and pulled Angela's arms from him and said, "Angela, Bones and I aren't married."

Frowning, Angela said, "But Jack said he heard you call Brennan his wife when you were talking to some Sheriff's deputy. If you aren't married; then, why did you say that?"

Flicking his eyes up and then back to Angela's face, Booth said, "I was sick yesterday. I wasn't thinking too clearly when I was talking to the guy. I don't know why I called Bones my wife, I just did. We are not married."

Pursing her lips, Angela said, "You know if you are married I can find out."

Smiling, Booth said, "Feel free to look. I give you permission to look for a marriage license in any state you choose to look in. If you have time to waste like that then go right ahead. I'm telling you right now though that you won't find anything because it doesn't exist."

A little uncertain, Angela said, "You aren't lying to me."

Nodding his head, Booth said, "I'm not lying to you."

Sighing, Angela said, "Alright. Christine is in Michael's bedroom. Let me go get her. I'll be right back."

Nodding his head, Booth stayed where he was.

After a few minutes, Angela returned carrying Christine and an overnight bag. Placing the baby in Booth's arms, Angela asked, "Are you planning on getting married?"

Smiling, Booth said, "Maybe. If Bones ever asks me then we'll get married. If she doesn't then we won't. Ok?"

Shaking her head, Angela said, "You two are the weirdest couple I know."

Nodding his head, Booth said, "And you and Hodgins are the weirdest couple I know; so, we're even."

Oooooooooooooooooooooooo

After Booth left, Angela walked into the den and said, "Ok skunk boy, he said they aren't married."

Frowning, Hodgins said, "He called Dr. B his wife. I know what I heard."

Shrugging her shoulders, Angela said, "He said he was sick when he said it. You said he really was sick; so, maybe he's telling the truth."

Sighing, Hodgins said, "I don't know, Ange. Maybe he is telling the truth. Who knows? Those two protect their privacy like it's a state secret or something."

Smiling, Angela said, "It is a secret are far as they're concerned. Ok, Skunk boy, you still stink. Go take another bath. I put some Lava soap in the bathroom. Use that."

Shaking his head, Hodgins said, "Lava soap? Are you nuts? I'm not putting Lava soap anywhere near my crown jewels."

Frowning, Angela tapped her foot and said, "Fine. Stink all you want. Just so you know, as long as you smell like a skunk you have to sleep in the guest bedroom and that means no hugs or kisses from me either not to mention no sex."

Sighing, Hodgins said, "Fine. What the hell. Who needs skin anyways?"

Smiling, Angela said, "There you go Jack. Way to keep positive."

Oooooooooooooooooooo
