AN: I don't own Bones, okay guys last chapter. Enjoy!


CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: Confessions

I watch as Booth removes his tie and tosses it onto the armchair. It gets caught on the backing of the chair and just hangs limply in mid air.

All afternoon I had been trying to bring myself to admit to Booth what I had done while he was in custody but every time it got to the edge of my tongue a voice inside me shut me up.

I turn and face my husband. My voice box clenches and my throat dries up, "Booth can I speak with you?" I ask.

Booth smiles over at me and plonks down on the bed before me.

"Yeah Bones, what's up?" he asks.

I clench my sweaty palms up into fists and unclench them again. Clench, unclench, clench, unclench. The process continues repeating.

Booth was now looking a bit worried "What's wrong?" he asks.

I just shake my head "Well I have a…how should I put this…a bit of a confession" I whisper.

Booth looks at me confusion in his eyes "What do you need to confess?"

I just shake my head "When you were still in jail…I sort…attempted to…take…my own…life" I whisper.

I watch as alarm fills up in Booth's eyes "What!" he cries.

The tears that were filling up in my eyes were now freely streaming down my face "I'm sorry, I've obviously disappointed you" I whisper between sobs.

I watch as Booth shakes his head "No, no I'm not angry at you I'm angry at myself" he replies "If I wasn't a stupid FBI agent I wouldn't have been put away, if only I hadn't, we hadn't, started a relationship then none of this would have happened" he whispers crying his own tears now as though he was a reflection of myself.

"No Booth, you aren't a stupid FBI agent, I'm just a stupid woman who can't control her emotions," I whisper.

Booth pulls me into his embrace and I sob on his shoulder "You are not a stupid woman, we all experience hard times" he whispers.

I shake my head "We may but we don't all jump over railings"

I feel Booth stroking my back. "Calm down Bones, we all make mistakes" he says softly "And it is just important that we recognise the wrong that we do"

I just nod but say nothing more, the tears said it all and they said it with so much emotion.


A good twenty minutes later we were still sitting the same position. My head was still on his shoulder and his hand was still stroking my back.

I then feel his hand move up under my blouse and against my bare skin. I feel my blouse being pulled over my head and watch as it is tossed on the ground. I work my hand slowly under Booth's shirt and toss it to the side as well. He plays with the strap of my bra and it is removed.

Soon we were just lying in each other's naked embrace.

I move my head and press my lips against his. I feel his hands caressing the bare skin of my back and then feel them against the curve of my bottom. I run my fingers over his back.

Our movements were filled with hot passion. I watch as Booth runs his hand over my stomach, which still had a small remainder of my baby bump, the symbol of the love, and life that we had made together. I run my hands through his short dark brown hair and forget about the world around me. Our minds were only on one thing, each other.

Soon enough we were both lying down on the mattress. My head was rested against Booth's bare chest and his arms were around my bare shoulders. We were resting in an exhausted, sweaty mess. The sheet was wrapped tightly around me and a small smile was still on my face.


Suddenly Booth gets up. He strolls over from the bed to the bookshelf in the far corner of the bedroom and pulls out a book. I strain to read the title but was to tired to truly fulfil my attempt.

Booth sits back down the bed and opens the book to page 187. Suddenly it all made sense to me. Page 187, the page that Angela had helped me write a few years ago. It was in one of my older books but I still remembered the story line vividly. I glance over at him and he smiles.

"I remember you telling me that you were curious to try it so I thought what the hell, what's stopping us from doing it now?" Booth whispers.

I smile "I'd be rather interested in attempting this" I reply as I lay my finger down on the page.

Booth and I exchange suggestive smiles and he pulls me down onto the bed. I let out a soft moan as Booth runs his hand over my thigh and our lips meet.

We slowly come together and do as the book says. I had never felt such passion but I was sure that I'd be tired the next morning.

Soon enough Booth and I were lying on the bed in each other's arm. We were asleep and our breathing was almost in time.


Each time that Booth held me close to him I knew that everything was going to be okay. It was something about his muscular arms around my bare shoulders that showed that everything was alright.

I knew that we were still to bring down the conspiracy but one thing I knew that as long as we could be together, a certain passion bubbling between us, everything would be okay.

As long as Booth was there when I fell to sleep at night I was sure to wake up the next morning and see that daylight as well as all of the beauty that came with it. Every time Booth kissed my lips I knew that that was a promise and every time he held me when I cried I was sure that the sun would come streaming in through the window, just as it once did and always will.
