It just started as some psychological exercise in Sweet's office

"Child"

"Baby"

"Booth"

"What you think I am a baby? " Booth asked annoyed

"You are a father" Brennan replied

"Oh Mother" Booth came Booth's relaxed reply

"Birth"

"Happy"

"Sperm"

"Sperm is that a word" Booth looked at Sweets uncomfortable, looking at Brennan

"You keep going" Sweets instructed with an amused smile he couldn't wait see where this will end up

"I want a baby" Brennan exclaimed of the blue very excited.

"Woah" Booth felt like someone just kicked him in the stomach "You want to have a baby?" He asked just to make sure He heard her right

"I just realized it" Looking at astonished expressions in Booth's and Sweet's faces Brennan explained

Booth almost got up panicked he asked "don't you need …. you know a guy?" he whispered. In his head he was wondering if she has been having a secret relationship and if that guy has changed her mind about kids . He didn't like it , He didn't like it one bit. Not about her changing her mind about having kids but about her having kids with another guy. Because he wanted to be that guy who changed her mind.

And he came to a realization of his own. He wants to have a baby with Bones not just a baby he wants hell of a lot more with her. Just been her work partner was not enough. He found himself dreading her reply if there is another man in her life she is out of his reach forever.

"Just sperm" came Brennan's smart reply or what she thought was the smart reply.

Booth let out a breath he didn't know he was holding relieved.

But his relief was short lived "You'd be very good donor potentially" when she threw another bomb at him before he could even recover from the first one

"Meee!"

"You should get tested of course" she said in her no nonsense voice as if she was just asking to borrow his SVU.

She saw the shocked expressions on her partner's and therapist's faces "Is something wrong?" she asked looking puzzled.

"Yes, you just don't go around asking for people's sperm" Booth tried to explain

"We should discuss this further" Sweets suggested this was getting very interested he has tried the partners too acknowledge the deeper emotional bond between them and this may finally push them to see it.

Right on cue Booth's phone vibrated and he answered it happy for the disturbance "Bones we've got a case" he exited with Brennan despite protests from the young therapist.

Brennan taunted him all the way to the crime scene and how she doesn't expect any commitment or involvement from him. She even offered him legal protection.

Why can't she understand that exactly is the problem. That he wanted be committed and involved.

"Bones let's just focus on the case now ok …and let's talk about this at your place in the evening, I promise" that should buy him sometime he thought at least till end of the day.
