Temperance Brennan was bored. She had been on bed rest for the last week and was about to go crazy. She knew it was a price she would pay a thousand times over for a healthy baby, but that didn't help right now. Her back ached. Her feet were almost twice their normal size and she had terrible heartburn. And where was Booth, one might ask, he was off chasing leads, solving their cases and generally having a life without her.
She had just decided to get some milk to try to calm her heartburn, when she heard the front door open.
"Bones, what are you doing up? You know you're supposed to be resting." Booth scolded.
"I have been resting all day," she fired back; "I just got up for some milk."
"Well, you knew I'd be home soon. Why didn't you just wait for me?" He asked.
"Because I didn't know when you would be home, as soon is not a valid measure of time and I have heartburn right now!" She shouted back.
"Calm down Bones, I'm just worried about you and this little guy." He tried to soothe, giving her swollen stomach a cuddle but it was too late. Hormones had taken over.
"What are you trying to say Booth? That I don't care about this baby? Or maybe that I don't know what I'm doing? Or are you trying to say that I have lost my ability to be rational? Well let me tell you something Seeley Joseph Booth, I don't need you or anyone else for that matter, I have always been just fine on my own." She screamed and stormed out of the kitchen, slamming the bedroom door only a few seconds later.
"Fine," Booth hollered at the door, "I'm going out."
A/N: This is a super short chapter but I am most of the way through the next one so hopefully I will upload it tomorrow.
