The Baby in the Dream
A/N: This is a continuation of the ending scene of the Bren/Mr.B part of EitB. It was just too cute to pass up. These are 1 or 2-shots strung together. They're not necessarily in order. Chapters will be dated.

They did not have their wine that night. In the morning, the block around The Lab could hear the squeals of joy as Angela, Daisy, and Sweets found out about the baby. Zach, Vincent, Wendyl, and Fisher took the news calmly, and congratulations were passed around.
It took a few weeks for the morning sickness to hit.
A Monday evening found Brenn in her office, laying down on the couch with an empty garbage bin beside her. She could hear the voices and the music from inside the main part of the club and yearned to go and help Booth take care of things. She could not do so though, because as soon as she sat up, she was sick to her stomach.
Hearing someone approach the office, Brennan closed her eyes, hoping she would not be noticed. If Booth knew how sick she was feeling, he would send her home. He was the only one who would be coming to check on her at this point, or so she thought.
"Sweetie."
Angela.
Trying to ignore the hostess would not work. She would have been woken up by the weight beside her, and the scent of what she assumed was to be her supper.
"Not hungry..." the club owner muttered weakly, moving her hand to cover her face, The last thing she needed was for Angela to figure out what was wrong.
"Bren..." The other woman began, a threatening tone to her voice, "You've got a baby to worry about. You need to eat."
"Not if it's going to end up in the garbage bin I don't." was the argument, as Angela took another look at her friend and employer. She did seem a bit green, and she would not normally be laying down yet.
"You've got to eat something. I'll go see if Sweets has any crackers behind the bar."
Knowing that it was true that she had to eat, the usually stubborn Temperance Brennan gave the fight up. Trusting Angela not to spill too much, she simply closed her eyes again, actually falling into a comfortable sleep.
