Welcome to my version of "so what happened when so-and-so found out". Actually this story was only supposed to be about telling Parker but somehow it is taking on life of its own. Should only be two chapters though.
I know it's been done like a million times, but I wanted in on the action. This is my first BnB fanfiction. So be gental! Constructive criticism is ALWAYS welcome, but flames will not be tolerated. This story does not have a beta, so if you know of anyone interested let me know!
Before we start, I wanted to thank smut1956 for writing "The Better Way". So far it is the only story that has answered my questions that season six left: 1) Did BnB really do 'it' the night V.N.M died? (I like to think not) 2) How could neither of them consider birth control?

Chapter 1
Booth stood in the doorway of Brennan's bedroom. She was sitting up in her bed typing away on her computer. It had only been a few weeks since they made love for the first time, and only days since she had given him the best gift he could have asked for. They were becoming a family and he couldn't have asked for more. The transformation from 'just partners' to 'partners' in every sense of the word was a natural transition. Like breathing.
"What is it Booth?" Temperance asked not looking up from the laptop.
"What?" he asked snapping out of thoughts.
She closed the computer and looked at him, "you have been standing there staring at me for several minutes. Is there something on your mind?"
Smiling Booth walked over to her side of the bed and lifted the computer off her lap and set it on the night stand, "I was just thinking about how happy I am and how far we have come." He leaned in and placed a kiss on her beautiful lips. He then kneeled beside the bed and placed a kiss on her still flat belly, "you know what baby? Your mommy had made me very happy. She has", he says in a singsong baby voice.
"Booth, you know the fetus can't hear you yet , right? It does not even have ears yet."
"I know she doesn't have ears yet. She's just a little bean. Aren't you sweet heart? A little bean," he murmurs again into Bone's belly placing another kiss on her belly before slipping into bed beside her, "And would you not call our baby a fetus? It's our baby."
Bone's smiled a little as she shook her head, "you also know that our child has a fifty-fifty chance of being male."
"Nope", he said as he snuggled under the sheets, "this little one is going to be girl."
"You can't know that Booth," she said as she too nestled down and turned onto her side to look at her partner.
"Boy or girl this little one is going to be very loved. And smart and beautiful. Just like her mom," Booth said huskily as he leaned in for one more kiss.

The next morning Booth awoke finding Bones' side of the bed empty. He could smell coffee brewing, so he figured it was time to wake-up and join her.
He found Brennan in her kitchen mixing something in a bowl. He smiled to himself at the domesticity of the situation. Not wanting to startle her, Booth cleared he throat as he entered the room.
"Good morning," she called as she poured the mixture into the frying pan.
Embracing her from behind, Booth placed a kiss on her cheek, "Good morning. What smells so good?"
"I am making pancakes. Had craving for them this morning. Just a symptom of the increase in hormones I suspect. Why don't you sit down. The coffee just finished brewing. Hope you don't mind that its decafe."
Booth headed towards coffee, "sounds great", he said as he poured himself a cup trying to hide the distaste from his voice. I can always pick up a real cup on the way into work.
Brennan placed two full plates on the table as she and Booth sat down, "I want to discuss something with you Booth but I find it makes me a little anxious."
He looked up from his plate with a look of concern, "Sure Bones. Anything."
She took in a breath, "I know that couples don't usually announce their pregnancies until the end of the first trimester. However I feel that we have to tell the FBI."
Seeley let out a sigh of relief as he reached for the syrup, "is that all? We can tell Sweets this afternoon if you like."
Brennan's eyes widened in surprise, "How can you been so relaxed about this? They won't let us work together anymore! Especially once they find out about my pregnancy." Her eyes filled with tears.
"Hey, it's going to be alright," he said gently taking her hand, "we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. I highly doubt the FBI will split us up after all this time. Our service record speaks for its self. And as far are as the pregnancy is concerned, you will have to go on light duties eventually. But that day is not today."
"Your right," Bones said whipping her eyes with her napkin, "silly of me to become so emotional."
"Ok then. Now it's a crime to let these pancakes get cold," he joked as let go of her hand to resume eating.
"I also have to tell Angela, because she is my metaphoric sister and she trusted me with her news when she became pregnant."
Booth nodded in agreement as he took another bite.
"And Cam of course, if we are going to tell the FBI as well," she thinking to herself aloud, "And Parker of course."
Booth stopped mid bite "Parke", he said slowly.
"What is it Booth? What's wrong?"
Booth sat back in his chair, "Nothing. Nothing is wrong. It's just that everything is happening so fast. I mean he had just gotten used to –," he coughed uncomfortably, "And you and I haven't been together that long. We haven't even told him about us yet."
"Oh. And you are worried that it will be too much too soon?"
Booth nodded as Bones took a long sip from her coffee.
"I am just not sure how he is going take it."
"Is he going to hate me now?" Bones said quietly as the tears welled up again.
"What? No! Of course not. He may be mad at the situation for a bit. And if he is, he'll come around," he took her hand again, "Parker adores you, you know."
Brennan gave a shaky smile, "I love him to." She shook her and with a sniff as if trying will away the tears the kept forming, "these hormones are going to drive me crazy!"
Booth let out a small laugh, "If you're finished eating, how about you go get yourself cleaned up while I clean up the breakfast dishes?"
"Sounds like a good plan," she said as she stood away from the table. He grabbed her hand as she walked by, "It's all going to work out in the end. Don't worry," he said softly.
"I know it will," she murmured as she bent down for a kiss.

Brennan tapped on the door of the Hodgins- Montenegro home later that morning. With no case, Brennan felt she could arrive a little late for this announcement. She felt irrationally nervous as she waited for Angela to answer.
"Sweetie! What are you doing here? Come in. I just put Michael down for his morning nap. Poor little guy was up crying until three this morning and woke up again at five." Angela chattered as she let be friend in and lead her to living room, "so what's up?"
Brennan sighed nervously as she sat down on the sofa.
With a look of concern Angela sat beside her, "What's wrong? Did you and Booth have a fight or something?"
Brennan let out an involuntary nervous giggle, "No. Things are wonderful in fact."
Now Ang was confused, "That's good. So why do you look so scared?"
With a bright smile Bones looked at her best friend. "I wanted you to be the second person to know. I now that you told me before you told Hodgins but the timing wasn't right and I had to tell Booth first…"
"Told Booth what?", Ange asked still confused. It took a moment but her sleep deprived mind started to put the pieces together. Her eyes widened in excitement, "You! You're pregnant! Oh my God! Oh my God!" She grabbed Brennan in a huge hug, "This is going to be great! We are going to be mom's together! Oh! I am just so excited! Hallelujah!"
Letting go of her tight hold she had on Brennan, Ange took a couple of deep breaths in order to compose herself.
"I am happy you are so excited," Brennan said still smiling; "Now you can be an Aunt to. Metaphorically of course."
"Of course I am excited! Our kids are going to be best friends! Wait! Are you ok with this? And how did Booth react. I mean, I am guessing this wasn't planned. Oh! You didn't use the frozen stuff right?"
Brennan laughed at the last comment, "Of course not. Booth and I agreed that that was only to be used if something happened to him. Booth is thrilled. And I am feeling a little anxious about the whole ordeal. I mean. I know that I have the means to look after my child. And I have Booth. But I am still feeling anxious that this is happening so suddenly."
Anglia patted her friends hand in understanding, "Well it's normal to feel scared at first. And so what if it's happening a little fast. It's Fate! You and Booth took a long time to catch up to your own reality. This is just Fates way of saying 'You're ready for this!'."
"I don't believe in 'Fate'"
Ange rolled her eyes, "Whatever it is then, I am happy for you. You are going to be a great mom. Now come up stairs and take a look in the closet. I have some great maternity clothes that will look great on you when that baby of yours starts to show!"

SO? What ya thinkn'? I know Brennan is a little OOC but in my defense, she is super hormonal so far in season seven :) Reviews make me happy :)
