Chapter One
The drapes gently move, carried by the soft breeze that blows from the north that refreshes the entire area of the kitchen of her property in Washington DC.
Upon the counter, she decorates the cake with the last cherries in the bowl. Chocolate and cherries have never been so delicious to her before and she was wondering why in the world she never tried it. She wants to do something more for him, more than that cake and besides that, she really hopes he accepts more than a slice this time.
Being alone at home now had a new meaning, and anyone, any person who had the opportunity to know what she has experienced lately would know why, while her pale fingers gently rests cherry by cherry on the chocolate, she is still smiling.
"Here we go," She says to herself while both hands rested on her hips. "Not that bad though" she says leaning her head down towards the cake and analyzing her work, wishing he'd come in time for the dinner she cooked.
As I said, it is a special day, and again, not just because it was Booth's birthday, but also, because she had something new to tell him and that was, in her opinion, very exciting and surprising.
She breathes in deeply, imagining what she would being do without his support these past months, when she realized she wasn't capable of doing everything alone anymore. Or what would she do if he had never accepted to father her child. She probably would have considered adoption, but she would need time, time because of the process and time that she couldn't miss. Once, Booth warned her about not having time and she smiled, remembering all the things that he brought out from that day on and yes, he was responsible for the change of wind too because since baby Andy came up, something changed inside.
She turns around and as every afternoon, she sits down on a comfortable chair and watches the sunset. She closes her eyes and rests both hands on her stomach. Everything was ready and she couldn't wait to see his reaction about her news. For some reason or some smell, her mind takes her way back to the beginning. She finally came back from her trip to Peru, she met him and they became partners. Some issues were solved and other ones were brought to the light, but she never ever felt unprotected with him, like nobody could hurt her while he was around. That was an amazing feeling and despite everything against them, they became friends and then best friends. Angela says they're more than friends and probably the chance to ruin everything they've built until now just to think about that made her sick.
She couldn't lose his friendship now.
She couldn't lose her partner.
She couldn't lose the father of the child she was carrying inside.
