Angela Montenegro was lying on the couch in her office eating saltines. She wasn't sure what it was about saltines that the baby inside of of her liked about them so much, all she knew was that ever since she got back from Paris she couldn't stop eating them. Reaching around her ever growing belly to snag another handful of crackers she started to think about the case that the squad was currently on. Three ten year old girls from the suburbs of D.C had gone missing and turned up 5 months later in the basement of a hospital in the heart of the city. Except for Angela , who had been threatened with celibacy by Hodgins,they had all gone nearly sleepless nights trying to find something on the bodies. Well, like always they had figured it out using nearly all of their resources and Brennen's amazing intellect.

Just as she reached for the cracker box again, Brennen walked in, fresh from the arrest. She sat down with a sigh near Angela's feet.

"you got him then?" she asked hopefully as Brennen laid her head against the wall.

"Yeah Ange. We got him. The man thought that those girls were responsible for his daughters expulsion from her school.

"Really Bren? Would someone really kill over an expulsion?" Having asked the question too many times in different circumstances, Angela already knew the answer before Brennen even opened her mouth.

"Anthropologically speaking, The father may not have been over reacting. In Renaissance Italy, it was not uncommon for People to be killed over apprenticeships. In todays modern society we are much more logical thinkers because life expectancy is so much longer and with that brings more opportunities in our lives."

"Well," Angela responded " This baby will have so many opportunities it wont know what to do with them all."

Brennen smiled weakly and placed her hand over Angela's belly.

" This baby is going to have the most amazing life ever Ange, Ill make sure of it."

Angela grinned back. " she'll also be wicked smart."

Brennen gasped and smiled. " Its a girl? Angela how far along are you? You can't usually tell a baby's gender until the 2nd trimester!"

" Oh no sweetie!" replied Angela hurriedly " I'm not sure what it is, but I'd like to have a little girl."

Just as Brennen was about to answer Booth stuck his head in the door. He looked tired, like all of his usual boothyness had been drained out of him.

" Hey, Bones. Cam ordered Thai food, she has enough for everyone upstiars. She said that she wants to make announcement."

"Isn't Hannah waiting for you at home?" Brennen asked

"No she's on a business trip to New York for the week. How those saltines treating you Ange?"

Angela just smirked and made a face back at Booth.

"Whats taking you guys so long?" Angela sat up at the sound of her husbands voice and brushed the crumbs off of her stomach and chest. Hodgens popped up from behind Booth with a graduated cylinder filled to the brim with a clear liquid.

" Cam got the food for once and I'm supplying the illegal substances!"

" Really Hodgens?" Angela regarded her husband with amusement " how long did it take you to make that much moonshine?"

"About a week, but I know it will be gone in about 2 seconds. I've been saving it for something special." he said with a special look that only Angela understood.

Cam poked her head into the already crowded office and glared jokingly at all of them

" The food's getting cold. Don't make me regret being nice enough to buy it for all of you! Come on Michelle's waiting upstairs."
