Be there for you
A knock on his door rose him from his sleep; when he looked at his alarm clock which read 02.53am he knew exactly who it was. Rising from his bed he put on his grey sweatpants and shuffled to the door. He opened it and was met with a red rimmed eyes and tears stained cheeks Brennan. He opened his arms and Brennan practically ran into his them. He caressed her hair and placed soothing kisses on her head all at the same time walking her towards his bedroom and sitting down with her on his bed.
"What happened?" she knew she didn't need to elaborate what he was talking about because he knew.
"I'm pregnant." She sobbed and snuggled closer into his chest. Booth's heart stopped beating for a minute before he hugged her tighter to his chest.
"Does Richard know?" Richard; Brennan's boyfriend; a surgeon at Washington hospital; they had met about seven months ago just after Booth and Hannah had broken up and they hit it off straight away. They had been dating for six months and were happy; but Booth could see Brennan wasn't really happy.
Brennan nodded her head and a sob escaped her throat. "He doesn't want it." She tilted her head and looked at him. "He wants me to get rid of it." Booth looked at her and his heart ached; how could someone not want to have a child with this amazing woman. How could someone even think of killing a tiny human being that doesn't even have a chance to exist yet? "I can't Booth… I can't kill my own child." She sobbed and laid her head back on his chest; hearing his heartbeat made her relax a little.
"Then don't." he whispered while kissing her temple and laying down on his back with Brennan sprawled over him.
"I can't be a single mother Booth… I know I said that two years ago…" Booth knew even then that she didn't want to be a single mother; the time where she asked him for his sperm; but he would have given anything to her to make her happy. "but I can't get rid of it… but I don't want to do this alone either." She sobbed and closed her eyes; tears leaking down her cheeks and onto Booth's shirt which was already stained with her mascara.
"You don't have to do it alone Bones…" he moved his finger to her chin and made her look at him. "you don't have to do this alone; you've got Angela and Hodgins, Cam and Paul, Wendell and Fisher and you've got me; we're your family Bones and we will be there every step of the way." Brennan sobbed and nodded her head.
"Can I stay with you, please?" Booth kissed her head again and sighed.
"You don't even have to ask Bones, you are always welcome here." He carefully layed her down onto her back and stood up; walking over to his dresser he grabbed a shirt for her to wear and handed it to her. "There is an extra toothbrush under the sink in the bathroom, use whatever you need." He smiled at her when she nodded and walked into the bathroom. While Brennan changed Booth quickly made the bed and turned it over and grabbed a bottle of water; putting it on the side table. Five minutes later she came walking out of the bathroom and immediately curled up into bed. Booth smiled down at her and sat down on the edge of the bed. He moved a stray hair from her forehead. "Everything is going to be alright Bones. I promise." Brennan nodded her head and intertwined their fingers before placing them on her stomach where her unborn child grew. Booth jumped over Brennan and into bed before pulling her into his chest; their intertwined hands still on her stomach. "It's all going to be okay." He whispered into her ear and felt her nod before they fell asleep.
The next morning Booth woke up hearing Brennan in the bathroom emptying her stomach. He shot out of bed and ran into the bathroom; sitting behind her he moved her hair out of the way and rubbed soothing circles on her back. When she was done she collapsed into his chest and sighed heavily. "You okay?" he asked while moving her hair from her sweaty forehead and placing a kiss on her head.
"No, but there isn't much I can do about it…" she turned around and circled her arms around his waist; laying her head on his chest. "The next months aren't going to be much fun."
"I know, but I'll be there every step of the way Bones; I promise, nothing will keep me away from taking care of you." She nodded and lifted her head from his chest.
"Thanks Booth, you don't know how much that means to me." Booth nodded his head and smiled down at her; he stood up and lifted her in his arms where she settled and rested her head on his chest again. "Do you have a doctor appointment yet?"
"Yeah, today at four" Booth laid her back on the bed and saw that they still had two hours before they had to go into work.
"Can…. I…. Uhm… Can I come?" He asked almost shyly.
Brennan looked at him and smiled; shyly nodding her head. Then her eyes cast down to her still flat abdomen tears brimmed her eyes. "I can't do this alone Booth. He or she needs a father I don't… I don't get why someone would want to hurt an innocent child… I don't get why Richard doesn't want to be a father." She sobbed and curled into Booth further. "I'm not supposed to do this alone; I'm supposed to have the dad with me to whom I can lean on; who will bring me food in the middle of the night when I get weird cravings. Who will be there when this little on is born…" a sobs escaped her and tears rolled freely over her cheeks.
"Bones…" He cut her off and made her look up at him. "I'll be there the whole way; I promise." She looked in his eyes and saw the truth there, how much he cared for her and how much he loved her and her unborn child even though it wasn't his. "I'll be the guy you can lean on Temperance, who will bring you food in the middle of the night when you get those cravings." He chuckled and Brennan joined him. "I'll even be there when the little one is born if that's what you want; you can squeeze my hand until the bones break… I'll be that guy for you Bones." He whispered the last part in her ear; she looked up at him nodding her head. She placed a kiss on his cheek and placed her head back on his chest above his heart; the soft thumping lulling her to sleep.
Later that afternoon they were seated in the waiting room at the doctor clinic, Booth's leg was bobbing up and down while Brennan leaned her head on his shoulder. "Booth will you relax please, you're making me nervous." Brennan sighed and intertwined their hands. They didn't know what they were but they knew that they didn't want to go back to just being partners. He leaned his head on hers and whispered "Sorry" into her ear while giving her hand a little squeeze.
"Temperance Brennan" A nurse called; they stood up and followed her into a little room where Brennan was told to put on a gown and lay on the bed. Booth walked over to the bed and stood by her head when the doctor walked in.
"Hi Temperance, I'm doctor Beames. How are you doing?"
"I'm alright" Booth could tell she was nervous and took her hand in his; giving it a squeeze.
"And you must be the daddy?" Dr Beames extended her hand towards Booth who looked shocked.
"No he's not the biological father…" both the Doctor and Booth could hear the disappointment in her voice.
"Oh, well because this is your first pregnancy I'll have to do an internal examination so if your friend would like to wait outside?" Brennan shook her head when she felt Booth let go of her hand and tightened hers.
"NO! I want him here…" she looked at Booth with tears in her eyes. "Please….?" Booth immediately walked back over to the bed and leaned down placing a soft kiss on her brow.
"Shh, it's alright I'm not going anywhere." Brennan nodded her head; squeezed her eyes shut and took a deep breath before loosening her grip on his hand.
"Seeley Booth" he finally introduced himself. Dr Beames smiled at him and excepted his hand. "I'm her partner and best friend."
"Nice to meet you" The doctor explained what she was going to do and directed Brennan to place her feet in the stirrups. Booth paled when he saw the internal ultrasound wand and turned his back to the doctor and looked down at Brennan who had her eyes closed; her brow furrowed as if she was in pain.
"Bones?" He asked worried and took her hand in his. "You're not hurting her are you? Or the baby?" He asked the doctor, looking over his shoulder.
"It's fine Booth…" Brennan whispered, but Booth didn't trust it and shook his head.
"No, it's not fine Bones… if she's hurting the baby…"
"Mr Booth, I'm not hurting the baby, Temperance is just really tense and that can make it a little painful. I really need you to relax more." She addressed Brennan who nodded her head and looked at Booth with tears in her eyes.
"I'm fine Booth, I'm just…" she cringed and moaned in pain; gripping Booth hand tighter. The doctor removed the internal ultrasound wand and addressed Brennan again.
"Maybe it's better if Mr Booth leaves the room for a little while…" Brennan already shook her head as tears slipped down her cheeks; sobs escaping her.
"No I need him here." The doctor nodded her head and took of the gloves.
"I'm just going to step out and let you relax okay; I need you to be as calm as you can Temperance…" Brennan nodded her head and the doctor looked at Booth motioning for him to come with her.
"I'll be right back Bones, I promise." He whispered to her when she didn't let go of his hand.
"Mr Booth…"
"Booth please…" the doctor nodded.
"Booth, I need for Temperance to be relaxed and the only thing she's doing right now is tensing up. If she can't relax I won't be able to do any test and see if the baby is alright. If you can think of anything that will help her calm down I'd really appreciate it." Booth nodded his head and walked over back to Brennan who immediately grabbed his hand again.
"Bones, you're alright… you really need to relax baby…" he knew he slipped up there but couldn't take it back because he could visible see her relax already.
"I'm just… I can't… I don't want to do this Booth… I don't want my baby to not have a father… that's all I can think about and…" a sob escaped her throat and shook her whole body.
"Bones… shh, you don't have to do this alone remember, you have me and the whole squint squad… everyone will be there for you…"
"But he or she won't have a father… it needs a father Booth… I spend most of my life without one and I don't want my child to go through the pain I went through…"
"Then I'll be there for him or her… You're the most important person to me Bones… I'll be there for your baby and try to be the best substitute dad I can be if you want me…"
"I would like that…" she whispered and tightened her hold on his hand, fearing he would run away.
"Then I'll be that to him or her if you want Bones, I'll be there for you and your baby." A few tears escaped down her cheeks, she nodded her head and relaxed a little. When the doctor came walking back in Brennan tensed up a little again but the hold Booth had on her hand made that go away again.
"Are you more relaxed Temperance?" Brennan looked at Booth with fear in her eyes but nodded to the doctor anyway. Booth could see she was still afraid and stood with his back towards the doctor, took a hold of her hand and brought his face close to hers and whispered soothing words in her ear.
"You're going to be a great mum Bones, I can't wait to meet this little one." Tears filled her eyes and when she felt Booth place a kiss on her cheek her whole body relaxed and melted into his touch. She felt the moment the doctor inserted the internal ultrasound wand but this time no pain came; she could only feel Booth's touch; it was the only thing she could feel right now.
"Alright Temperance there's your little baby…" she pointed towards the screen, both Booth and Brennan turned their heads and tears ran down their cheeks. "It's all looks normal and I would say you're about 11 weeks." Brennan nodded her head and turned towards Booth with a big smile on her face.
When he felt Brennan tense up again he looked at her to see pain on her face again. "What's wrong?" He asked worriedly. Brennan shook her head violently and began to sob.
"Temperance I need you to calm down… it's alright… everything is fine with the baby but I need you to calm down…" The doctor kept saying but Brennan kept shaking her head and was wildly shaking her hands trying to get a hold of Booth.
"Booth…Booth…" When she sobbed his name he walked over to her immediately and laid his head next to her; his mouth close to her ear.
"I'm right here Bones." Both Booth and the doctor felt her body relax when she heard his voice and the doctor let out a sigh of relief.
"Temperance can you tell me why you tense up once Mr Booth leaves? I need to know because it's not good for the baby to have such stress on its little body." Brennan looked at Booth who wiped away the tears of her cheeks.
"It's alright Bones, I'm not going anywhere." When Brennan nodded her head she looked at the doctor and took a deep breath.
"I'm afraid that he's gonna walk away from me and I can't handle that. I need both of them in my life, I couldn't stand it if he walked away; if he left me. I can't do this alone, I need him."
"Bones I would never leave you, you understand, never." She could see the truth in his eyes and nodded her head while taking a deep breath.
"Okay." She whispered and relaxed her body again. The rest of the examination went fine; Brennan didn't tense up again and they got everything done that needed to be done and left half hour later with pictures of the little baby.
1 Month later:
"Bones are you ready? We have to pick up Parker in an hour?" Booth walked into his bedroom to see Brennan standing in front of the mirror looking at her reflection with her hands on her abdomen. She had basically moved in with Booth that day after she told him she was pregnant, she couldn't go back to her apartment because Richard was still there; so Booth had gone to her place and packed all her things and brought them over. Today was the day they were going to tell Parker she was pregnant. "Bones, what's wrong?" he stepped behind her and laid his hands on her shoulders.
"Look…" was all she said when she undid her robe and turned sideways to the mirror. Booth gasped when he saw the tiny little bump forming on her lower belly. He moved his arms under hers and placed his hands on her bare belly. They both knew how intimate this touch was but neither could deny how good it felt.
An hour later they pulled up at the Park, they had picked Parker up and decided on a picnic and a game of soccer after. But first they were going to tell him about the baby.
"Parker?" the little boy looked at his father with questioning eyes.
"Yes daddy?"
"We have to tell you something buddy?" Parker looked up at his dad and then at Bones before looking at his dad again nodding his head.
"Bones is having a baby…" Parker's eyes lit up and he crashed his body into Booth taking Brennan with him.
"I'm going to be a big brother?" he asked sweetly.
"Buddy the baby isn't…" Booth began to explain that the baby wasn't his but Brennan cut him off.
"Yes Parker, you're going to be a big brother." Booth looked at her with raised eyebrows before addressing his son.
"Why don't you go and play for a little while buddy." The little boy nodded his head and ran off towards the playground.
"I know what you're gonna say Booth and please don't, you told me you were going to be there for me, that you are my family. Parker is your family so in a way he is mine too and I know how much he wants to be a big brother and if I can make that true for him than I will." Booth had tears in his eyes and hugged Brennan to him tightly. "I don't want to tell him the baby isn't yours Booth." She whispered before pulling back and laying a soft kiss on his lips.
"I don't want to tell him the baby isn't mine either Bones… " Brennan smiled and placed another kiss on his lips before hugging him close to her.
"Then we won't… you're the father Booth, you've been here more for me and my baby then Richard has ever been. I want you to be my baby's father, I want your name on the birth certificate…" she looked at him with a questioning look, silently asking him if he wanted that as well. "this…" she took his hands in hers and placed them on her stomach. "is your child Booth…" she told him while a tear escaped both their cheeks.
Booth slowly pushed Brennan down onto her back on the blanket and pulled her shirt up a little so her stomach was bare to his eyes. "Hi baby… I'm your daddy…." He looked at Brennan with a big smile on his face before looking back at her stomach. "and I love you very much, and your mommy." Booth smiled when he heard Brennan gasp; they hadn't said that to each other yet and now that Booth whispered it to their child send shivers down her spine and a big smile plastered on her face.
"and mommy loves your daddy very much too." She whispered more to Booth than to their unborn child.
Booth pulled Brennan back into a sitting position and kisses her softly; breaking apart when they heard Parker scream. Booth shot to his feet and ran towards the screams of his son with Brennan close behind.
"Mommy… mommy… daddy…." They heard Parker sob; when they got to the playground they saw Parker laying on his back in the sand; tears streaming down his face. Booth kneeled down beside his son and pulled him into his lap.
"What did you do buddy?" a young girl who had been standing near the slide came running over.
"He fell of the walk sir…" she pointed to the wooden walk over that connected the slide to the monkey bars. "is he alright?" the young girl asked in concern.
"Mommy… my arms hurts…" Parker sobbed; Booth brow furrowed and looked from the young girl to Parker who was holding out his arm to Brennan.
Booth directed the girl with a smile. "he's alright, thank you." The girl nodded and walked of. "Bones…"
"Huh?" Brennan shook her head and looked at Parker when he sobbed again.
"Mommy…" He wiggled out of his dads lap and nearly collapsed into Brennan's chest who held him to her tightly.
"Booth I …" she didn't know what to do. Her partners or was he her boyfriend now; anyhow his son had just called her mommy… something she wasn't expecting at all; yes she did tell the boy he was going to be a big brother but they hadn't even spoken of their feelings then.
"It's alright Bones… you don't know this but he has been calling you that for some time now just never to you…" Brennan looked at him with questioning eyes. "I will tell you later but I think we have to take Parker to the hospital what do you think?" Brennan knew Booth was asking for her opinion and she looked down at the boy in her arms.
"Baby I'm just going to take a look at your arm alright…" she spoke softly to Parker who nodded his head and burrowed it deeply in her chest. She carefully lifted his arm into her hands and softly moved his wrist wincing when Parker let out a scream of pain. "His ulna is broken and possible phalanges; we'll have to take him to emergency so they can do an x-ray." Booth nodded his head and tried lifting his son in his arms but he held on to Brennan.
"Buddy I'll have to carry you; remember Bones has a baby in her stomach and has to be really careful…"
"I'm pregnant Booth not an invalid I can carry him…" Booth shot her a look that told her not to argue with him and she decided not to.
"Did I hurt my brother or sister?" Parker asked in concern when he was in his father's arms.
"No baby; you didn't hurt your brother or sister." She smiled at the little boy and kisses his brow before they walked to the car.
