2. Professional
"Alright Bones!" Booth announced causing Brennan to jump slightly and glare at him. "Got anything else for me?"
"Not since you asked 5 minutes ago Booth" Brennan replied drily sharing a look with Angela before returning to her examination of the remains on the table in front of her.
"Slipping up are we Bones?" Booth teased as he went to stand next to Angela.
Brennan realised a deep sigh, gritting her teeth slightly before snapping at her partner "No I am not, I just can't work to the best of my ability when you come in and out every 5 minutes!"
Booth visibly took a step back as Angela chuckled
"Ah pregnancy hormones, how I miss you" She giggled under her breathe but stop when she received a death glare by her best friend.
"I just finish the facial reconstruction in my office" She nodded quickly making a bee-line for the door "Come find me if you need me"
An awkward silence followed the departure of Angela for a good couple of minutes before Brennan sighed in frustration again "Can I help you Booth?"
"Me?" Booth squeaked "No, I'm good – just waiting" He nodded
"You didn't before!" Brennan sighed as looked expectantly at him. "Do we need to have the conversation again?"
"Talk, Bones" Booth corrected "and no we don't – I just want to spend some time with my partner is that too bad?"
"No Booth" Bones sighed as she took her gloves of and walked over to him "But I'm sure you have work to do which is needed to be done back at your office."
Booth grimaced slightly confirming her suspicion.
"You promised that you would still be professional Booth – and it's not like you never see me, we're practically living together Booth and having a child together."
"Yes!" Booth agreed "I don't want to miss anything"
"I know you don't" Brennan agreed "But we still have to professional and it's not like we're the first couple to have a child, Angela and Hodgins have Michael you know"
"How could I forget?" He asked placing a protective hand over her inflated stomach remembering the day the youngest member of the squint squad was born when he was told he was going to be a father again, that he had fathered Bones' child.
They shared a smile together much like that day
"So?" Booth asked sneakily wrapping an arm around his partner's waist smirking as she raised an eyebrow. "We have to be professional right? That was one of the first rules we made"
"Yes" Brennan agreed scoffing slightly at her as her heartbeat started to increase.
"So that means I can't kiss you right now?" He asked leaning in, making Brennan's natural response of closing her eyes and leaning in towards him happen automatically.
"Hm-hm" She replied as their lips ghosted over each others.
He sighed, a wicked smirk gracing his lips "Shame" He stepped back leaving her to blink on the spot slightly dazed. "We gotta stay professional though Bones" He grinned cheekily.
"You're gonna pay for that tonight Booth" Brennan glared as she pushed him away.
"I doubt that Bones" He teased again as he started to walk out the door.
"Oh!" Brennan exclaimed suddenly causing Booth to freeze before bolting back to her side.
"What is it? What's wrong?" He asked hurriedly trying to work out what suddenly changed.
"Booth" Brennan smiled quickly grabbing one of his flying arms and placing it over her stomach waiting a couple of seconds before he felt what she just did.
A kick
"Did she just?" Booth asked
"She just kicked!" Brennan laughed not bothering to correct Booth's blind faith that their child was a girl.
"Oh look at her go" Booth chuckled his smile so bright.
"We can't see her Booth and..." Brennan trailed off as she caught his look "you didn't mean literally"
"No, Bones" He laughed leaning forward to kiss her softly on the lips, defying professionalism. "I didn't"
