A/N: After 'The Hole in the Heart'. Thank you for all the wonderful reviews. I really appreciated them all.
I don't own Bones.
Ooooooooooooooooooo
They'd made love twice before Booth realized that there were three words that needed to be said that he hadn't said yet. Afraid to put too much pressure on his partner, Booth thought about it and realized that even if the words frightened her, they needed to be said anyway.
That evening, Booth met Brennan at her apartment. Carrying a posy of daffodils, he opened the front door and called out, "Hey, Bones, I'm home."
Scrubbing some carrots, Brennan called out to her boyfriend, "I'm in the kitchen, Booth."
Removing his jacket, he laid it across the couch and examined his flowers to make sure they were alright. Nervously running his hand down his tie, he licked his bottom lip and walked across the living room and into the kitchen. Her back towards him, Booth glanced once more at the flowers and cleared his throat, "Um . . . hey, Bones."
Delighted that Booth had left the Hoover at a reasonable hour, Brennan turned and smiled, "I see the meeting finished early."
His heart beating a little faster, Booth moved across the room and held out the flowers to his partner and lover, "Yeah . . . um, these are for you."
Surprised, Brennan took the flowers and inhaled the scent of the small bouquet, "Thank you."
Pleased that she liked them, Booth waited for her to place them in a vase with water, "I'm glad you like them. . . . Bones, I need to say something to you and . . . I just need to say something, okay?"
Worried, the smile disappeared from her face, "Is something wrong? I . . . you're breaking up with me aren't you?"
Appalled, Booth quickly pulled her into his embrace, "What? Where did that come from? No . . . no way, absolutely not. Jesus, Bones . . ."
Relieved, Brennan kissed him and tried to apologize, "I'm sorry, it's just that. . . "
Interrupting her, Booth blurted out, "I love you, Bones. I . . . I just realized that I needed to tell you that. I wanted to tell you that sooner, but I was afraid that it might be too much too soon and . . ."
Her hands grabbing his arms, Brennan yanked him closer and kissed him passionately. Once she was satisfied that he understood that she loved him too, Brennan pulled away from him, "I know you love me, Booth. I've known for quite a while."
Relieved, Booth returned her kiss and smiled, "I just need to say it, Bones. I love you. I plan to tell you that every day for the rest of our lives."
Ooooooooooooooooo

A/N: Well that was chapter 100. I hope you found my little drabbles to be entertaining during this long hiatus. Bones is back baby!
