Disclaimer: Bones is not mine. The TV is, however, mine, from 8-9 PM on Wednesdays.

Author's Note: Another entry into the March CBPC. A scene from my favoritest movie ever, The Rock. C'mon. Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery, Ed Harris? How could it not be amazing? xD

Anyway, this is my first non-BB fic, and it takes place pre-Brennan, but while Booth's working for the FBI. How Rebecca tells Booth that she's pregnant with Parker.


Booth heard the door to his apartment open and close. "Seeley?"

"Hey," he responded, without turning his head. Rebecca walked over, kissing him on the lips.

"Oh my God. I had such an interesting day today!" she said.

"Yeah, I had kind of an interesting day myself," said Booth. He sighed.

"Okay, you go first," she said, hoisting herself up onto a table next to the window.

"Well, some man that I put on death row's brother decided to send a little care package—box of goodies—which had to be neutralized before blowing up the office…so I took the rest of the day off."

"Wow," said Rebecca.

"I mean it, honey, the world is just being Fed-Exed to hell. I really believe that anyone who's thinking of having a child in this world is coldly considering an act of cruelty." He paused. "I don't know. I'm rambling, I'm complaining. I'm sorry. What's your news, baby?"

"I'm pregnant," Rebecca said quickly, and with an air of exhilaration. Booth stared at her.

"I'm sorry?"

"I'm pregnant," Rebecca repeated. Booth laughed, and she laughed with him until his grin faded and he stared at her again.

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Wow…" he said quietly.

"Is that all you're gonna say – wow?" she asked. He turned towards her again.

"You're pregnant?"

"Three weeks," she responded.

"How—how do you know?" Rebecca reached into her pocket, pulling out a used pregnancy test.

"Blue. It just…it just turned blue, so I went to the doctor." She frowned. "Well, you didn't mean what you just said, did you?"

"When?" Booth asked, confused.

"Just right now!" Rebecca answered. "When you were talking about bringing a child into the world and having it be an act of—an act of…cruelty."

"I meant it at the time," said Booth.

"Seeley, at the time? You said it seven and a half seconds ago!"

"Well, gosh, kind of a lot's happened since then!"


Okay I know I ended it really abruptly, but if I were to include the next scene it would involve a lot of role-switching...and I'm totally not up for that at the moment. xD Review please!
