Time for Bed

This is my first piece of fan fiction and it's really short… It's written in Brennan's point of view. I hope whoever reads this enjoys it!

As I quickly get ready for bed, my thoughts drift to how much happiness these past few months have brought me. I would have never thought that marriage to Seeley Booth could fill me with so much contentment. Looking down at the bathroom sink, I realize that the cap to the toothpaste is missing, as usual. I can't help but smile. I know that a small detail such as this would usually send me into rage, but all I can think of is the smile that I would receive from the culprit.

Walking out of the bathroom door in my loosely fitting tee and shorts, I am greeted by my husband who places his right hand on my slightly bulging abdomen and his left on my cheek. He then leans in and lightly kisses me on the lips.

"I'll be back" he assures me with a whisper into my ear. I give him a smile and head to the bed.

Although I have never believed in owning – or even watching – a television before, Booth had begged me to let him purchase one for our bedroom. Lazily I grabbed the remote and powered on the TV.

Waiting for Booth to finish feels like hours, but soon I find a show named "Grey's Anatomy" (which happens to be very inaccurate) to help past the time.

Finally, Booth emerges from the bathroom and joins me on the bed. He continues to move around until he holds me tightly against his chest; apparently it's called spooning. It has been over a year since I have first shared a bed with Seeley Booth, but every night the pleasure and comfort I feel seems to grow.

While we watch "Grey's Anatomy" my right hands seems to drift back to rest on the side of his stomach. I lean further back into his embrace as his arm now comes to rest gently on my growing belly. Together our separate hands and fingers start to sway back and forth in no particular pattern. His hand sooths away my stress; his touch makes me feel secure and loved.

I turn my head to look into his eyes; he looks happy and continues to stare at the drama unfolding on the screen. I smile and also return to watching the show.

The show quickly progresses to the end. I am relieved since the evidence of sleep seems to become overwhelming. I slowly remove my hand from his side and slide it down his arm to meet his hand. When my hand finally comes to rest atop his, his thumb gently strokes my stomach once more and then latches onto my pointer finger.

Finding the remote while lying in this comfortable position proves to be a hassle. Thankfully, Booth manages to switch off the TV and return to his original position. His hand naturally falls once again to my abdomen, but instead of stopping he takes my palm up to his lips and gently presses a kiss. Full of warmth, I look over my shoulder to see him smiling.

"Goodnight, Temperance" he whispers. I smile back, raise my chin and match my lips to his. Slowly, I pull away.

"Sweet Dreams, Seeley" I respond, while lying my head back down on the pillow. His arms drape around my body securely.

"Sleep tight, little one" I hear as my eyes close and my mind drifts off to sleep.

I would appreciate feedback, any type of criticism really. Thanks!
