Here's the sequel to 'Waiting for you'. So, yeah it was a dream and now Brennan's struggling to tell Booth how she feels.

Disclaimer: Bones belongs to Fox.

"Hey!" Booth greeted Angela and Hodgins as they made their way to the partners. Booth and Brennan had a coffee and were seated on a benche, enjoying each other's company and sharing stories. They had been seating on that bench for about an hour before the artist and the bug man approached them.

"Hi, Booth!" Angela hugged and kissed him on the cheek, happy to see their friend came back safe and very alive.

"Come here." Hodgins was startled when Booth pulled him in for a hug. He knew the agent wasn't very fond of hugging guys and he was glad to have the honor.

"I know you two must be very tired, but I bet you guys are hungry too." Angela said, linking an arm with Booth and one with Brennan as they walked to the car.

"Food sounds nice." Booth said as he put his bag in the trunk. Brennan agreed on the food part, next on her list was a shower.

"Wow, Mrs. Hodgins." Booth teased, nudging his arm at Angela when they pulled up to Hodgins' mansion.

"Marry rich, baby." Angela said with a smile and wink. They all laughed and Hodgins kissed his wife before they walked up to the front door.

"Welcome!" Several voices shouted as the front door opened. Booth and Brennan watched the familiar faces and were glad to see them.

"Daddy!" Parker ran towards Booth, hugging his dad tightly. Booth felt tears stinging his eyes. It felt good to hug his boy after a year.

"Baby girl!" Max walked to hug his daughter.

Russ, Amy and the girls, Jared and Padme, Wendell, Fisher, Nigel-Murray, Clark, Cam and Michelle, and Sweets were also there. Daisy arrived a few minutes after the partners; she had gone to her cousin's place to leave her stuff and take a shower. She almost didn't show up, but Daisy knew about the welcome reunion and hadn't told Brennan to keep it a surprise.

"I bet you two want to grab a shower." Angela led the partners upstairs to the rooms. She told them there was clothes for them on the beds and told them which rooms to use.

Brennan stepped under the hot spray of water, enjoying the feeling against her skin. She stood there for five minutes, before she moved to actually take a shower. Angela left jeans and a tee for her on the bed. Brennan dressed quickly, her stomach growling for food.

She steeped out into the hall at the same time Booth did. They both laughed when they saw each other. They were both wearing a white tee and jeans.

"Angela." They said in unison. Booth placed his hand on the small of her back as they walked to the stairs to join the others. Brennan had missed his touch. In the past year no one had placed their hand in the small of her back.

It was dark and the only ones left were Brennan and Booth. Angela and Hodgins had arrived a month before the partners and had arranged everything to be ready for when the two to returned.

First, they dropped off Booth at his place. "Wow, thanks guys." He thanked Angela and Hodgins. Booth didn't know how they got his old apartment back, but he suspected the bug man probably bought out whoever was living there. His stuff was out of the storage he had left it and arranged very close to how he'd had it when he was in DC a year before.

"Parker told us where everything went." Angela told Booth. After a few minutes the Hodgins and Brennan left, leaving Booth alone in his apartment. Booth spent a few minutes looking around his place. Everything was were he had had it before and he was grateful he didn't have to unpack or look for a place. He went straight to his bedroom, finding it laid out how he'd had it before. He stripped his clothes off and landed on the bed, enjoying the comfort of it.

"Thank you." Brennan told the bug man and the artist. Her place was just how she'd left it.

"Oh, don't mention it. All your place needed was a little dusting." Angela said, hugging her friend before leaving.

Brennan looked around her apartment and found everything just how she'd left it and dust free. She went straight to bed, it was the middle of the week and she wasn't scheduled to return to the Jeffersonian until Monday. She had briefly talked with Cam about her return during the gathering.

Brennan tossed and turned in bed, not being able to fall asleep. Her thoughts circled on her dream and the return to DC.

Sunday

Brennan trotted down the stairs towards her car. She wondered if it would turn on after sitting unused for so long. She got inside the car and turned the key in the ignition. The car turned on, running smoothly. "Angela and Hodgins thought of everything." Brennan said in a chuckle as she pulled out of her parking space.

"Hi, Bones." Parker opened the door to Booth's apartment.

"Hi, Parker." Brennan bent to kiss the boy on the cheek. He helped her with the bags in her hands. They walked to the kitchen and set the bags on the table. "Where's Booth?" Brennan asked the child as they took out the to-go containers of food.

"He's asleep." Parker said, pointing in the direction of Booth's bedroom.

"Booth, wake…" Brennan placed a hand on Booth's shoulder, he slept on his side. Before she finished Booth had flipped her over his body and pinned her under him.

"Sorry, Bones." Booth couldn't believe he hadn't recognized her touch or voice, his sniper senses were still on high alert. He hadn't slept at all the previous night and had just fallen asleep as the sun began to rise.

"I see why Parker hesitates to wake you." Brennan said with a laugh, still pinned under his body.

Booth blushed, "What are you doing here so early, Bones?"

"Early?" Brennan chuckled, "It's one in the afternoon." She saw the 'oh' on his face and smiled as she pushed on his shoulders so she could get up. "I brought lunch." She said, getting up from the bed.

"Cool. I'll be out in a minute." He sent her his charm smile as she walked out of his bedroom.

"Mmmm, smells yummy." Booth said as he walked into the kitchen and sat, Parker on his left and Brennan on his right. Brennan bought his favorite burger-fries combo from the diner and bought the same for Parker. She got herself a salad and stole fries from Booth's plate as they ate. Booth missed her stealing fries and enjoyed the moment. It was good to be back.

"You brought pie!" Booth said excitedly when he opened the fridge to grab some more drinks. "And it's apple pie!" Brennan smiled at the goofy look on Booth's face. Booth grabbed a slice and asked Parker if he wanted some, but the boy didn't and asked if he could be excused to go watch some TV.

"How can you still room for that?" Brennan asked, watching as Booth savored his first bite.

"There's always room for pie." He said with a wink.

Rebecca picked Parker up at five, leaving the partners alone. Booth grabbed a pillow and set it on the floor, resting his head on it. He patted the extra pillow space for Brennan to lay down. She lied down, her body spread out opposite his. They talked about her snake bite, her time in Maluku and what Booth did in his time away.

"Are you going back to the FBI tomorrow?" Brennan asked, staring up at the ceiling.

"Yes, you?"

"Yes, I already talked with Cam." Brennan felt Booth shift on his side and she did the same. They continued to talk and eventually fell asleep.

Brennan opened her eyes and found that it was already dark. She sat up and took her cell phone out of her pocket to see the time. It was past ten at night and Brennan decided she needed to get back to her place. She felt Booth's hand on the small of her back.

"You leaving?" He asked as he sat and searched for the remote to turn the TV on.

"Yes, and you shouldn't sleep on the floor. It's bad for your back." She rose from the floor and extended a hand to help him up. He walked her to the door and they both said 'good night'.

B&B

Booth was dressed in his suit and tie and walked to his front door. He didn't have the SUV and was going to have to call a cab. He opened the door and found Brennan standing with two coffee cups. They said 'good morning' and walked to the elevators as Booth took one of the coffee cups.

"I like your tie." Brennan commented on Booth's new tie. It was black with a DNA strand drawing in the middle. Booth smiled and said it was a gift from Parker for good luck.

They got in Brennan's car and drove away. When she stopped in front of the Hoover building to drop him off he laughed and leaned to give her a kiss. He stopped himself before he planted the kiss on her lips, instead kissing her cheek softly. They stared at each other in silence for a few seconds.

"What was so funny?" Brennan asked, breaking the silence.

"Nothing, it's just…the places are inverted. Now you're on the driver side and you picked me up with coffee in hand." Brennan smiled, it hadn't occurred to her that she was doing what Booth usually did. They said 'goodbye' and she drove off as he made his way up the steps of the Hoover.

After a meeting with his bosses, Hacker included, Booth went to his office. It was just how he'd left it and it made him feel good inside to know he was important to the FBI. He sat on his desk and submerged himself in his work, he wanted to catch up and was exited to be back and work with the squints.

There was a knock on his office door and he raised his head, finding it was Hacker. Hacker wanted Booth to meet Agent Scott, the agent that had been the liaison between the FBI and the Jeffersonian while Booth and Brennan were away. Hacker and Booth exited the office to head over to the Jeffersonian where Agent Scott would meet with them.

Brennan sat in her office catching up on work. She had kept contact with her grad students in her time away and was happy to know that most of them had made excellent progress in their dissertations. She had found her office exactly how she left it and very dust free. Cam and the others had greeted her and Brennan felt welcomed and loved. It was good to be back at Jeffersonian and was impatient to return to the field with Booth.

"Dr. Brennan, there's someone we want you to meet." Cam popped her head inside Brennan's office and told her that Agent Scott was here to meet her and say goodbye to the team since Booth would return to be the liaison now that he was back. Brennan rose from her chair and followed Cam out to the forensics platform.

"This is Agent Anna Scott. Agent Scott this is Dr. Temperance Brennan." Cam introduced the two women. Brennan shook hands with the agent. She was as tall as Brennan, with auburn hair and blue eyes; no way to deny she was lovely. Agent Scott smiled at Brennan as they ended their hand shake. The woman was about Brennan's age too.

"Agent Anna Scott this is Agent Seeley Booth." Hacker introduced the two as he and Booth reached the forensics platform.

"Nice to meet you, Agent Booth." Anna said as she shook Booth's hand. Brennan glared at the woman, it was obvious the woman had interest in Booth and it wasn't the professional kind.
