Yikes! It's been a little over a month since I've last posted. Although did say in my last chapter it would be after the New Year I didn't mean for it to be this long! Ha!

I'm very sorry about that, but with the holidays and my birthday being right after the New Year it's been a crazy time for me! I do hope you all understand that life gets in the way and makes it difficult to post when I want to.

But… Here you all are, the next chapter. Sorry if it's not that long but it's all BB fluff and some unanswered questions for all my loyal readers out there.

There are SOME SPOILERS in this chapter for an upcoming Bones episode so beware and not to mention some of this chapter is RATED M.

So enjoy my loves!

Chapter: 33

Because of you;

"Seeley," she breathed out softly feeling his lips between her breasts leaving a wet trail with every suckling kiss he made.

Temperance weaved her fingers through his hair-pulling it softly to her satisfaction as he thrust in and out of her. She arched her hips throwing her head back to the shear pleasure that was buried deep inside of her. With a throaty moan she felt his lips upon hers –kissing her feverishly.

Booth sucked on her bottom lip feeling her tight inner walls clutching hard around his thickness as he moved at a steady pace this time. He wanted her to come with him –to feel that magic they felt every time they made love. It tried to outdo himself each time with her and although it was a little part of his ego showing through he knew she secretly loved it too.

"I love you," he breathed into her ear kissing just below it. "Temperance…"

"Bones?" he called out to her shaking her arm. "Bones? Did you hear me?" Booth asked her seeing her in a fog.

Brennan shook her head as she looked at Booth with rosy cheeks. Her mind was elsewhere at the moment –their love making this morning was incredible but ended all too soon when they were called out for a murder that happened this morning at the local hardware store.

A few kids that were skipping school found the victim face up behind the warehouse in the back of the store with his face bashed in with what appeared to be a hammer –seeing it was the only tool around and it had blood on it.

Luckily the victim had his ID on him and was identified as Tony Cole –a tool salesman that worked in the D.C. area.

Booth and Brennan had just spoken to a girl that worked with him –Blake. She was your typical tom-boy teenager who went to school during the day and worked at the shop after school. Today they found her in class but not at her high school –the girl kicked butt in martial arts and it was fascinating watching the strength she possessed.

She had an alibi for where she was this morning –in school. But since it was after hours they would have to wait until tomorrow morning to confirm that she was in fact at school at the time of the murder. The shop was small so other then the owner and his wife, Blake and two other kids that worked there were the only ones they could account for that could be inside the store seeing there were no signs of a brake in.

"I'm sorry, Booth," she apologized touching his hand on his knee as he drove back to the lab. "What did you say?" she asked him still slightly in a fog.

He chuckled seeing the twinkle in her eye, "I said did the squints find anything else out while we were gone?"

She shook her head, "no." She licked her lips reaching down into her bag for her phone as she pulled up a picture of the body after it was cleaned off. "Mr. Bray is taking an impression of the bones that were broke. His ribs were broke on his left side and his back was out of place between the tenth and seventeenth vertebrae."

"…and his face was smashed in with a hammer." Booth finished shaking his head as he pulled into the lab parking garage. "Brutal murder; he must have really pissed someone off," he said seriously as they got out of the car and headed into the lab to finish up their work for the evening before heading home.

"So she ran when you guys got there?" Angela asked sitting across from Bones in her office.

"After it was confirmed that she didn't check in at school like she was supposed to, Booth and I went to the hardware store to talk to her and when she saw us she ran out the back door of the store." She sighed softly, "After we caught her she confessed to killing Mr. Cole, she said it was in self defense. Since she's still a minor it's been turned over to the state so it's out of our hands now," she carried on.

"Ok, so she fought him off in self defense I get that… but why use the hammer on him too?" Angela asked with a shiver.

Brennan shrugged, "she was scared and after he went down from her kick she panicked, that's the only logical explanation I can think of. She doesn't seem like a violent girl to me."

Angela nodded and stood walking over to the cradle that Michael was in to make sure he was ok while he slept. Brennan stood up and walked over standing next to her seeing him sleeping sound with blankets around him.

"So you do know it's your turn now," Angela said with a grin.

"For what?" Temperance asked confused.

Angela rolled her eyes and chuckled as both woman backed away from the cradle and sat down on the couch, "to have a baby!"

Brennan chuckled, "Ange! Booth and I haven't even started planning the wedding yet," she said softly.

"That's ok, while you plan the wedding –which by the way I expect you to ask me to help," she said clearing her throat jokingly. "You can plan on having a baby too, that's what the honeymoon is for!" she said with a laugh in her voice.

Temperance went off into a daze for a moment thinking of her future with Booth –they were engaged and what comes along with that is a bigger place and children. That was all she ever wanted with him and now they would have that one day and she couldn't wait. She knew Booth was the one for her –in the back of her mind she had always known that in some way or another.

They were going to grow old together and live a happy life.

A frown formed on her face at that moment –they still hadn't heard back from his doctors about the results from the tests they had done on his head. It had been a few weeks and usually when you didn't hear back from a doctor for so long it wasn't nothing to be worried about –but with his history it wasn't safe to assume that either. She just knew she had to think positive about it all for Seeley's sake, the last thing she wanted to do was worry him more then what he needed to.

After they had solved their case this morning, Booth dropped her off at the lab and went back to work. They didn't see or really speak to each other all day –which was weird. Booth called her in the afternoon and asked if Angela could take her home this evening because he would be late.

She didn't ask questions but she still wondered what was going on and if anything was wrong. Surely if there was though he would tell her, they didn't keep things from one another –that was one thing they had promised each other long ago –that they would be up front and honest with each other.

After Angela had dropped her off tonight, Temperance read and responded to a few e-mails as well as started dinner. After her shower she walked down the hall towards the kitchen pulling on the strings of Booth's sweat pants she had on as the sound of soft music pulsed through her ears. She stirred the sauce humming and moving her hips slowly with the beat of the music.

"Now that's a beautiful sight!"

Temperance jumped at the sound of the voice as she turned around seeing Booth standing there with flower in his hand.

He chuckled at how startled she was, "I didn't mean to scare you," he said with a smile walking towards her handing her the flowers. He kissed her lips quickly seeing the beautiful smile on her face as she looked down at the flowers in her hand.

'These are beautiful, Booth!" she said taking a vase out from under the sink and filling it with water.

"This food smells great! I'm so hungry I could eat a horse," he said taking his suit jacket off watching her cut the stems of the flowers and placing them in the vase to put on the dinner table.

"Well we're not having horse for dinner tonight but I hope you like what I'm making it's a new recipe I found online," she said with a smile. Her jokes were lame and she knew it but he laughed anyways –that was another reason she loved him so much.

Booth leaned back against the couch pulling Bones against him, her back against his chest as he wrapped his arms around her. They had a great dinner together; they talked about a lot of things –the wedding that was to come –work and a bigger place. They had talked about a lot of things in which he wasn't expecting to talk about with her tonight but he was glad they had it all covered for the most part. Booth lazily ran his fingers along her stomach under her night shirt she had on.

"So I have some news," he finally said interrupting his own thoughts.

Temperance looked over her shoulder at him as he spoke out, "okay," she said softly shifting slightly to look at his face better. She searched his face for any emotion to give her a clue if this was good or bad news. His features were neutral for the moment until he smiled moving his hand up her stomach.

"I got a call this morning from my doctors' office," he said leaning up a little but still keeping her close to his body. "That's why I've been gone all day –I had to make a last minute appointment," he carried on seeing the worry on her face. He brought his hand up to her cheek, stroking her bottom lip with his thumb before leaning in to kiss her softly. "I'm fine," he said softly seeing her brows furrow together in wonder.

"Did you get your results back?" she asked concerned.

He nodded with a smile seeing the happiness on her face as she closed her eyes leaning her forehead against his. "Everything is fine, I have medication for the headaches I've been having. The doctor said it was just one of those nogales you two were talking about the last time." Booth was a happy man right now, he was nervous when he went into the doctors office, it sounded serious but the doctor just wanted to explain to him what was going on and what he could do to have less stress headaches like he's been having.

Although he worried about it through out this time he never lost himself like he would have if he didn't have Temperance at his side. It was because of her that he kept his sanity and hope alive.

"I'm so happy you're ok, Booth," she whispered softly looking into his eyes. She wanted to cry –but she didn't. This moment was one she had waited for, for the last few weeks –for him to tell her that everything was ok and he would be with her for the rest of their lives.

"Me too," he whispered kissing her forehead. "I don't know what I would have done without you these last few weeks," he said honestly seeing her smile. "Because of you I never lost hope –you and Parker are the reasons I'm still here," he said honestly seeing her eyes well up a little with unshed tears.

"I love you," she said softly letting her eyes waver between his. Not a moment later she felt his lips crush to hers for a passionate kiss. Although they had a future to look forward to from the start –this time there was no worry or sadness that could ruin it for them now. The things they talked about at dinner were really going to happen now and she couldn't wait to plan the rest of her future with him.
