Brennan heard the phone ringing in the اگلے room and thought who would be calling so early in the morning. She let the answering machine pick up the call but then the phone rang again. She knew she had better get the phone before it wakes up Booth. As she got out of بستر she glanced at the clock and noticed that it was 3:26 PM. Now she realized that they had slept longer than just a few hours. Of course they had not fallen asleep until long after they had gone to bed. She remembered how Booth had carried her into the bedroom despite his wounds and had laid her upon the bed. She could still feel his hands as he removed her clothing and caressed her body. She was mindful of his wounds as they explored each others body and how quickly she reached that point of ecstasy when they made love the first time. She also marveled at how Booth could regain his strength to stimulate her again and again until they both were exhausted and satiated.
She quietly left the room and answered the phone. “Dr. Brennan.”
“Dr. Brennan, I just wanted to check with آپ on Booth’s condition. He is not answering his phone. None of us have been able to reach him to see if he is OK. It looked so terrible on the news that old man stabbing him repeatedly.” Bones heard Cam say.
“Cam he’s fine. I just turned off his phone so he could get some rest.”
“So Booth is with you?”
Brennan thought about it for a moment actually a microsecond before she answered. “Of course where else would my husband be?”
“Oh I have wanted to say congratulations to both of آپ but I did not know if آپ wanted everyone to know. How did آپ know I knew?”
“Angela told me that she, Hodgins and آپ saw our wedding certificate. She also told me that most everyone knows about it except for Sweets, Hacker and a few others.”
“Well I guess I will see آپ on Monday.”
“Thanks Cam for calling.”
Bones went back to the bedroom and saw that Booth was no longer in bed. She could hear the water running in the bathroom from the شاور so she went into the bathroom. Booth was in the شاور and she could see his muscular toned body through the glass.
He opened the door to ask her. “Who was on the phone?”
“That was Cam she wanted to know how آپ were doing.”
“What did آپ tell her?”
“I told her آپ were fine.”
“Did she say anything else?”
“No nothing except congratulations.”
“Congratulations?”
“Yes she کہا congratulations right after I answered her سوال with a question.”
Booth knew that he should not ask but he had to know so he asked “What was the سوال and what did آپ answer?”
“She asked if آپ were with me and I کہا where else would my husband be.”
Booth smiled at her and pulled her into his arms and into the shower.
“Booth you’re getting me all wet.” She smiled as she کہا this because she wanted him just as much as he obviously wanted her.
It wasn’t until after eight that night did either of them think of something to eat. They ordered their پسندیدہ Thai food and Bones remembered to get a extra serving of ribs for Booth. As they sat at the میز, جدول eating they discussed a number of things that most couples decide during the courtship and the engagement period not after the marriage.
As they have done over the last five years each would make their point and then proceed to a conclusion. Of course as in most relationships there had to be some give and take.
“OK Booth we’ve agreed that my apartment is the better place to live because it is bigger has better plumbing and Parker will have his own room and a pool. But, what are we going to do about the furniture that آپ have?”
“Well Bones most of it can be دیا to charity but we need to rethink about the bedroom furniture.”
“You want to use your bedroom set?”
“No Bones I think we need to get a new set all together.” Booth waited for her reaction and he could see her thinking.
“You are right Booth. But مزید importantly which side of the بستر do آپ normally sleep on because there was no way to tell last night.”
“Bones we can work it out over the اگلے hundred years.” Bones smiled when Booth کہا this.
“Bones we have to be prepared that they may try to separate us as partners. We will have to tell Sweets and anyone else who does not already know like Agent Perotta.”
“Booth they can’t separate us, we are a great team and I can compartmentalize very well.”
“I know Bones. We’ll پار, صلیب that bridge when we come to it.”
“What bridge?”
Booth just looked at her and realized he loved her even مزید today than yesterday.
“Bones what about your name?”
“What’s wrong with my name?”
“Nothing but are آپ going to change it یا not?’
“What do آپ mean?”
“Are آپ going to be Dr. Brennan یا Mrs. Booth?”
“Why can’t I be both یا why can’t آپ be Mr. Brennan?’
Booth looked with a surprised expression on his face and then it dawned on him she was making a joke.
“Good one Bones.”
“Thank you. Booth I hadn’t thought about it before now.”
“Bones nothing needs to change if آپ don’t want to just as long as آپ do know آپ are married to me.”
Bones looked at Booth and thought about how she liked being called Mrs. Booth but she still wanted to hang onto being called Dr. Brennan.
The following Monday each of them went to their respective offices prepared for any سوالات and to not hide the marriage anymore. Bones knew that most everyone at the Jeffersonian knew and she was just going to act as if nothing was different today. Booth had to go back to the doctor’s office to get a medical clearance to return to work and after that he was going to call her.
Booth had gone straight to the doctor’s office and then to the personnel office to change his marital status before he returned to his own office. Mrs. Rogers who worked in the personnel office had already heard of the marriage from Clarice, the office gossip and she had already prepared the paperwork for when Agent Booth had time to come to the office. She knew he had been busy with the man who murdered fourteen wives, and then there was the double murder in vintage cars and now the incident with the old man. All Booth needed to do was just sign. When Booth finally reached his office he saw that Hacker was waiting there. Hacker met him at the door of the office and asked. “Are آپ feeling all right to return? I understand that آپ stayed at Dr. Brennan’s this weekend. Didn’t her husband object?”
“No, remember Bones and I are partners and partners take care of each other.” He answered. Booth thought he had better set the record straight with Hacker so he turned to Agent Burns sitting at his desk. Booth knew that Charlie was aware of the marriage and so he said. “Charlie, call my wife and let her know that everything checked out at the doctors and I will call her later.” He turned to Hacker. “If there is nothing else I need to complete some paperwork about the attack.” Booth then went into his office leaving Hacker standing outside. Hacker turned to Charlie. “Agent Booth is married?”
Charlie looking at Hacker could not help but smile at the idea that he gets to call Dr. Brennan in front of Hacker. “Excuse me I need to call Agent Booth’s wife.” While Hacker stood at his ڈیسک he dialed Dr. Brennan’s office. “Dr. Brennan, Agent Booth asked me to call آپ and tell آپ he’s been cleared سے طرف کی the doctor and will call آپ later.” Charlie listened a moment. “Yes I will tell your husband, Dr. Brennan.” He hung up the phone and walked past Hacker who had a pained expression on his face to tell Agent Booth that Dr. Brennan will meet him for lunch at the ڈنر, کھانے at 1:00 PM.
The rest of the دن held no other revelations and so everything seemed to go back to normal routines. Later that night Booth and Brennan were clearing up the رات کے کھانے, شام کا کھانا dishes when Booth suggested. “Bones we should take some time off and take a little vacation like Hawaii.”
“You mean like a honeymoon, Booth?”
“Well yes.”
“Booth I don’t know. I never thought I would get married and to follow it up with a honeymoon.”
“Well don’t think of it as a honeymoon, just think of it as another out of town assignment only there won’t be any dead bodies.”
For the اگلے couple of hours nothing مزید was mentioned about the honeymoon. Later that night, as they curled up in each others arms, Bones admitted. “Booth I was thinking about what آپ کہا and I have to tell آپ that when I was a little girl before my parents disappeared I had once dreamed of getting married and honeymooning in Niagara Falls.”
Booth pulled her closer and whispered “Then Niagara Falls it is.”
The rest of the week was business as usual except that Bones and Booth had to work out their morning routines. Thank goodness they were not required to clock into work because each of them normally showered in the morning and it wasn’t until Thursday they could actually figure out a routine that could work but it still was not perfect. Of course it all depends on ones point of view of perfect. It was like the منٹ either of them saw each other in the شاور naked their passion took over. Bones called it an implosion یا spontaneous ignition and Booth liked to call it a nuclear bang.
That Thursday afternoon, Brennan and Booth were both called to Sweets office. As they sat down, he just looked at them and shook his head when he said. “I know I wanted آپ both to admit your feelings for one another but I did not imagine that آپ would have gotten married and to do it so hurriedly.”
Booth and Bones looked at Sweets and then at each other. Neither of them کہا anything. Sweets continued. “Did the two of آپ plan this یا was it on impulse?”
Brennan: “We did not plan anything.”
Sweets: “Dr. Brennan آپ are not one who would do something on impulse and I would like to hear how the marriage happened.”
Brennan: “Booth can explain it better.”
Sweets: “Well Agent Booth.”
Booth: “We were at a church and the minister asked the سوال if we were committed to each other and we کہا yes.”
Bones: “Actually Booth, آپ کہا yes and I کہا I do.”
Booth: “Your right.”
Sweets: “Dr. Brennan, آپ کہا I do and in a church?”
Bone: “Yes I did and yes I was.”
Sweets sat back in his chair and just looked at them for a moment. This was something he had not expected and he needed time to mull it over in his mind. That Dr. Brennan would agree to being married and in a church no less. Booth he knew would do it. Finally he said. “Well آپ know that this may affect your working together.”
Booth: “I sense a ‘but’.”
Bones: “I sense a ‘however’.”
Sweets: “Although married couples are not allowed to work together in the FBI, Dr. Brennan your unique qualifications may exclude آپ from this restriction. We will need to monitor and continue with our sessions for the time being. On a personal note I would like to offer my congratulations.”
Booth: “Thank آپ Sweets. Now if آپ will excuse us we need to get ہوم and get packed for our vacation.”
Booth had cleared his calendar so that he and Bones could take at least a weeks vacation. Brennan had done the same and the اگلے دن they left for Niagara Falls.
When they arrived at their hotel, Brennan went to check them in while Booth notified the local police of his presence. It was always good to let the local police know that an FBI agent is in the area in case of emergency. As Booth joined Bones at the reception ڈیسک the hotel clerk was just handing the room key to her saying. “I see why آپ will not need any assistance. I hope آپ enjoy your stay with us Mrs. Booth.”
“Thank you.” Replied Brennan as she took the key.
“What kind of assistance?” Booth asked as they headed toward their room.
“They offer to help carry a bride over the threshold.”
“So آپ explained to them that I don’t need any help.”
“No I explained that it was an archaic custom which symbolized the domination of men who would throw their captured women over their shoulders and carry them off.”
“Gee Bones so I guess آپ don’t want to do the whole carry over the threshold thing then.”
As she put the key and opened the door to their room she answered “Really Booth……………..” Before she could utter another word, Booth lifted her up over his shoulder and carried her into the room. He was still holding her when a hotel waiter arrived with the customary bottle of champagne which he quickly placed in the room. He gave a wink to Booth as he left the room and shut the door.
“Seeley Booth put me down.”
Booth went to the دل shaped بستر and dropped Bones on it but before he could back away she grabbed his جیکٹ and pulled him down onto the بستر as well.
It did not take long before they were both enjoying the champagne and each other. Later that evening they ordered رات کے کھانے, شام کا کھانا in their room and another bottle of champagne. They woke the اگلے morning when they heard Booth’s phone ringing. Booth picked up the phone and listened to the caller. Bones could tell سے طرف کی his expression that he was not happy about the call.
“Booth what is it?”
“Well we have to go to work یا at least I have to.”
“Booth we’re partners in everything now. What is it that we have to go back to DC for?”
“No Bones that was the local police it seems that someone found a body near the falls they have asked for our help.”
“But why involve the FBI?”
“The identification on the remains indicates a senator’s son who was on his honeymoon and the body was found in the national park area of the falls.”
Within an گھنٹہ Booth and Bones arrived at the crime scene. As they approached the chief of police came over to greet them.
“Agent Booth my name is Chief Bradshaw and the body is located over there.” He pointed to an area covered سے طرف کی a yellow tarp. He then turned to Bones and said. “Mrs. Booth this is no place for a lady. I’ll have one of my men take آپ back to the hotel.”
Before Bones could say anything, Booth explained. “Chief Bradshaw this is my partner, Dr. Temperance Brennan of the Jeffersonian. She will need to examine the body.”
Chief: “Oh I thought she was your wife.”
Booth: “She is.” Bones: “I am.” Booth and Bones کہا in unison.
Chief: “And آپ work with her as your partner?”
Booth: “Yes.”
Chief: “I had heard آپ guys are tough at the FBI but I had no idea. I could never work with my wife.”
Bones had gone over to the body and was examining it when she called: “Booth.”
Booth walked over to her and asked “What is it Bones?”
Bones: “Look at these remains and the damage to the upper torso. We need to get the body back to the Jeffersonian for further examination to determine cause of death.”
Booth: “What can آپ tell me right now?”
Bones: “Well I can tell آپ that this is not the senator’s son.”
She quietly left the room and answered the phone. “Dr. Brennan.”
“Dr. Brennan, I just wanted to check with آپ on Booth’s condition. He is not answering his phone. None of us have been able to reach him to see if he is OK. It looked so terrible on the news that old man stabbing him repeatedly.” Bones heard Cam say.
“Cam he’s fine. I just turned off his phone so he could get some rest.”

He opened the door to ask her. “Who was on the phone?”

“What did آپ tell her?”
“I told her آپ were fine.”
“Did she say anything else?”
“No nothing except congratulations.”
“Congratulations?”
“Yes she کہا congratulations right after I answered her سوال with a question.”
