This one is done so I should be able to get it up fast.


Doctor Temperance Brennan was kneeling on the cold hard ground collecting samples for the set of remains she and her partner FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth had been assigned to investigate when she saw something move from the corner of her eye. Brennan straightened and walked towards the spot. Getting closer she saw a tiny arm move; she was next to it in seconds.

"Booth?"

"Yeah Bones, what did you find now?"

"A baby."

"A baby? Are you sure Bones? Could it be a small animal of some kind?"

"No Booth this is a real live baby."

Booth had to stop for a second and watch as Brennan stripped off her gloves and grabbed her hand sanitizer out of her bag and picked up the baby like it was normal for her.

Coming to stand beside her Booth couldn't believe it Brennan had found a real live baby who looked to be fine if not cold wet and hungry.

"Hey little guy how you doing'?"

"Booth it's a girl."

"Oh, sweetheart how are you doing?"

"She appears t o be fine except she's cold, wet, and more than likely she's hungry."

"I'll be back."

Booth returned with the blanket he kept in the car and wrapped it around the baby then Brennan held her close again.

"I called the medics back they'll be here soon."

"Good." Brennan was looking down at the baby with an expression Booth couldn't read.

"I wonder how old she is."

"I'd say no more than three months."

"So she has nothing to do with the case?"

"No those bones have been there for 20 years." Brennan never looked up from the little girl in her arms. Booth smiled his partner was falling in love. The medics arrived and took the baby to the hospital to be checked out.

Later that night Brennan was picking at her salad.

"Bones what's wrong?" Booth picked up a fry.

"Nothing I was just thinking about the baby wishing I could do something for her."

Booth took Brennan's hand,"Bones you did you found her before it was too late you heard the doctor she only had a few hours left."

"I know and I'm glad I did, but it's not fair she'll be in the system now and that isn't easy for anyone especially a defenseless baby."

"it's sad Bones. But it's better than the alternative."

Brennan had that look she got when she was putting together clues for a case.

"Bones I know that look are you thinking what I think you're thinking?"

"If you think I'm thinking about becoming the baby's foster mother then yes. If you'll excuse me I have some calls to make." Brennan left but not before staling a fry.

Booth sat back with a smile he knew that's what Brennan was going to do and she'd be great at it.
