CHAPTER 1

Special Agent Seeley Booth and Dr. Temperance Brennan sat in the therapy waiting room. The walls were painted a melancholy blue with black-framed pictures lining them. Each picture had inspirational phrases such as "Honesty is your best friend" and "Happiness is within us all if we can just smile." These phony posters made Booth snicker to him self.

Booth tapped his foot impatiently and looked up at the clock for what seemed the hundredth time.

"What?" Brennan asked, placing her magazine in her lap.

"Why do we have to wait an hour for partner therapy sessions?"

"First of all, we have been here only 15 minutes and second, the FBI is making us." Brennan stated.

Booth just shook his head and picked up Brennan's magazine. He flipped to the article she was reading. The title was printed in bold, A Look At Anthropology by Megan Smhiersz. Figures. Booth gave it back to Brennan and stood up. After stretching for a few seconds Booth sighed, "I am not sitting here anymore."

"Want to ditch?" Brennan smiled. She hated these sessions. There were bones that could be examined!

"Sounds good." Booth and Brennan were almost to the door when a young, brown haired man walked over to them.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, I had another appointment." The anthropologist and FBI agent glanced at each other. "If you will please, follow me."

Dr. Sweets strolled over to his office that contained a purple couch and one fluffy, red chair. Between them a coffee table was placed with 3 glasses of glasses of water. Booth sat on the left side of the couch as Brennan followed him, sitting on the right side. Dr. Lance Sweet took his place on the red chair.

"Today I would love to try out this partner game. It enables partners to communicate better." Booth raised an eyebrow. First of all, isn't he too young to be a doctor? Second, who gave him the right to make us play games? Lastly, what kind of game is it? Brennan was staring intently at Sweets as he made the explanation of the game.

"So, I am going to start out by saying one word. Then, I would like to have Booth say the first word that comes to his mind. Next, Brennan is going to say the word that comes to her mind. Get it?"

"Yes." Booth stated

"No." Brennan looked confused. "Why are we even doing this?"

"Because I said so, now lets get-"

" 'Because I said so'???? What are we, obedient puppy dogs?" Booth was getting mad. He turned to leave, but Brennan grabbed his hand.

"Just sit, then we won't get in trouble!" Brennan whispered as Booth sat down. She always had to be the goody-goody. Somewhere inside of him, he liked that. Brennan blushed and let go of Booth's hand. He smiled at her.

"Alright, you win for now. Can we please get this over with?"

"You seem to being showing signs of anxiety. Why?"

"Because, I have other things to do!"

"OK, then lets get started."

"Police." Sweets smiled.

"Investigation."

"Oh so now I say a word! I get this." Brennan smiled. "Corpses." Sweets pointed at Booth to go.

"Dr. Temperance Brennan."

"Special Agent Seeley Booth."

"The Jeffersonian."

"Office."

"The forest." Booth gave Brennan a confused glance. She just shrugged.

"Trees."

"Babies."

"Babies?" Booth glanced at Brennan. He pulled the glass of water to his lips.

"Yes, I want a baby." Booth tried hard not to spill his glass. With shaky hands he set the water on the table.

"You. Want. A baby? Dr. Temperance Brennan wants a baby. Like an actually human baby?

"Yes, of course the baby will be human Booth." She rolled her eyes.

Dr. Sweets was staring at Brennan. She wanted a baby? This woman didn't want or believe in marriage or love; she used to hate children, I think! Dr. Sweets was so confused.

"How do you plan to receive this child? Adoption, sperm banks?"

"I don't want to adopt. I would rather do it the old fashion way."

Booth felt like he could fall off the couch. 'The old fashion way?' What the hell Bones? The main questions are: With who? When? Where? Booth's mind felt like it could explode!

"With who, do you plan to have the baby with?" Booth asked.

"I'm not sure yet. But, I plan to go to the doctor right after this."

"How long have you been thinking about this Dr. Brennan?" Sweets shuffled through papers so he didn't have to look up at the tension. Booth mouth was held in a straight line and his knuckles whitened as he clutched the arm of the couch.

"I have been thinking about it for about two months." Wow. She is really thinking about it! Sweets thought.

"Well then, don't be late for that appointment Dr. Brennan." The doctor held the door for the partners as they left the room.

"Why didn't you tell me Bones?"

"I don't know, I wasn't ready myself. But, now I am."

"Do you need a ride to the hospital?"

"Yes please. I'm just going to look at my options since I don't have a donor or a man to have the baby with." The conversation was starting to get awkward. Booth turned the car to the main road. Once arriving, Brennan got out of the car and turned to Booth.

"You can go. I'll just grab a taxi."

"No, I'll wait right here for you."

"Alright Booth, I'll see you in a bit." Booth nodded and she turned to the hospital entrance.

"Hi, my name is Temperance Brennan. I have an appointment with the doctor."

"Ms. Brennan, he'll be with you in a moment. Can you just fill out these forms?" Slightly annoyed that the lady called Brennan "Ms. Brennan", she grabbed the clipboard and sat down. Ten minutes later the doctor in scrubs came out and waved me in.

"Dr. Brennan, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. I love your work."

"Thank you." The doctor led Brennan to a room and they both sat in chairs.

"Before we talk about how you will receive the baby, I want to make sure you can." Brennan smiled as he turned to the counter. She was going to have a baby! He turned around and did the test to see if she is eligible to carry a child.

"Dr. Brennan, you are a very healthy woman. There is no doubt that you can become pregnant." She smiled; she was so lucky that one day she can have an infant. "Now, how do you want to become pregnant? We have sperm donors."

"Can I pick the donor?"

"Of course."

In the car, Booth blasted music and tapped his fingers on the car window.

We're feeling so good, Just the way that we do

When it is nine in the afternoon

Your eyes are the size of the

Moon

Booth sang with a pitch only dogs can hear as he jammed out in his black SUV. As he swung his head back and forth he heard a knock on the window. Bones. He turned the music down and unlocked the door.

"Hey!" He was still slightly deaf from the music. Brennan laughed. "What?"

"Well I saw you singing and dancing, it was hilarious."

"Hey, don't judge the skills." The whole ride home Brennan smiled.

"What are you so happy about?"

"The doctor told me that I am perfectly capable of receiving."

"Of course you are."

"I'm just relieved. The only thing is I don't have a donor."

"No? How are you going to have a baby when you don't have a guy's stuff?" Brennan laughed. He always skipped around the life science.

"I just want my baby to be perfect, therefore I need someone very handsome, smart, and athletic." She glanced over to Booth.

"Where are you going at Bones?"

"Will you be my donor?"

"Whoa whoa whoa!" Booth felt shocked, happy, and very confused. Brennan looked away.

"I thought you wouldn't mind…"

"Bones, if you do this with me I have to be involved with the child."

"I know… he or she will be with me all the time."

"Yes, but I would have to raise the kid." She looked up at him, very confused.

"Why?"

"Why! The child would be half mine." He looked over at her, shocked to see her crying. "I'm sorry Bones. Don't cry. You will get a child if that is what you want. But, maybe not with me."

"Maybe?"

"I just have to think about it, OK? Come here." Booth pulled up in front of Brennan's house and hugged her. Brennan felt so stupid. Of course he would want to be evolved with the baby! How could I even ask?

After a couple of minutes, Booth let go of Brennan and smiled at her. Come on, lets get you inside. The winter snow blew into their faces as they ran to the lobby. Booth walked Brennan up to her room. She unlocked the door and stepped in.

"I'm getting tired."

"Me too. I'll talk to you tomorrow" Booth ran down the steps and headed home. He was so confused. He wanted Brennan to have the world. He wanted her to have this child, but with him? He loved her with all his heart, more than friendship. Booth was happy to know that she thought he was handsome, smart, and athletic. That boosted his ego. Lastly, he was shocked. She wanted him as the father. She trusted him. Would he be able to take care of the child too? So many questions unanswered for only question. Yes or No?
