Always Chapter One
It was a simple, normal day at the Jeffersonian. They were preparing for a court case from their latest victim. The sun was shining through the windows on the early fall morning. Dr. Temperance Brennan and Angela Montenegro were walking back toward Dr. Brennan's office.
Suddenly, Angela veered off her path, her hand over her mouth. "Bathroom." she muttered. Temperance sighed, knowing this routine. She followed slowly, knowing what she'd find.
She walked into the bathroom to see her feet under the stall. Sounds of vomiting filled the bathroom, but Temperance was used to it by now. She started her daily rant. "Ang, if you're sick, go to the doctor. It's been way too long now."
"I'm fine Temp. It's just a stomach bug. We've been through this." The toilet flushed and Angela emerged. She pulled the toothbrush out of her bag (she was prepared) and brushed her teeth while Temperance stood tapping her foot.
"Ang, I'm making an appointment for you at my doctor." Angela started to cut her off, but Temperance stopped her. "No buts. Something," she paused for dramatic effect, "is wrong here. And I'm sick of listening to you spill your guts every morning. Now what time to you get off?"
"Four." Angela replied reluctantly, leaning against the sink.
"I'm off at 4:30. I'm going with you." Temperance pulled out her phone, and quickly dialed a number. She waited and made an appointment for five that night.
"I'll pick you up when I get off." said Temperance, putting the phone back in her pocket.
"Fine-uh." They left the bathroom and walked toward the lab, meeting Hodgins on the way.
"Hey babe. How you feelin'?" he said, kissing her on the cheek. Hodgins was also concerned, but Angela had him convinced she was fine.
"Fine, but Nosy over here's making me go to the doctor later." She stuck out her tongue playfully at Brennan. She waved it off and went up the stairs to the lab.
Booth was there with Zach, examining the bones and going over evidence. When Brennan came in, Booth looked behind her. When he saw Angela and Hodgins he shook his head. "What's wrong?" asked Brennan, her famous concerned look on her face.
"Ugh. Nothing." He said, shaking his head. They re-reviewed the evidence and got everything straight. Before long, it was four o'clock, and Angela stopped in to say she was leaving. Brennan reminded her about the appointment, to which she groaned at.
"Brennan, I just want to sleeeeeeeep." she moaned.
"Exactly. You're sick. I'll see you in a half hour." said Brennan.
"You, Temperance Brennan," she said, pointing at her, "are a mean friend."

Temperance honked her horn outside Angela's apartment building at 4:45. Angela came slumping out five minutes later, with a sleepy look on her face.
"You took a nap, didn't you?" said Brennan in disbelief.
"Hmm?" she nodded slowly.
"Well, wake up. We're here." They had pulled into the parking lot of a tan stucco building with a fountain in front. Figures this would be were Brennan got her check-ups.
They went up to the fourth floor and walked to Dr. Marshland's office. They sat quietly in the waiting room, only for a few minutes.
They were called into a room, which was beautiful. This looked like a very ritzy place to Angela. She liked. Within minutes, Dr. Marshland entered. He was rather fat, and had bright green eyes. Angela was surprised that Brennan had a man doctor; she would have always assumed it would be a woman.
"Ah, Dr. Brennan. Good to see you. What seems to be the problem today?" he said. He had a slight British accent.
"Actually, Dr. Marshland, this my friend Angela. She's obviously sick, but she won't see a doctor so I had to drag her to see you." said Brennan, matter-of-factly.
"I'm fine! It's just a small stomach bug. Really." she said, giving Brennan the evil eye.
"Stomach bugs don't last a month, Ang."
"Well, what are your symptoms? We can get to the bottom of this right now." responded Dr. Marshland.
"I'm sick pretty much every morning, I'm always so tired, I've been wanting the weirdest foods, and I cry now at every movie I watch."
"Ang, you've always done that. And don't forget the bitchiness."
"Oh yeah, apparently I'm a bitch." added Angela, rolling her eyes.
"And when was your last period?"
"I- I- I don't know." said Angela.
"Ok, well I have a good idea of what you have, but I'm going to need some blood to confirm." said Dr. Marshland, taking out a needle and vial.
He took the blood quickly and hurried out. He came back and said, "It'll be about 20 minutes. You can stay in here or go back into the waiting room, which ever you prefer."
"We'll stay here, thanks." said Brennan.
They sat in silence. "It can't be what I think it is." said Angela quietly.
"Pretty sure it is, Ang." said Brennan.
"We-we were so…careful. I never would've…" she trailed off, submitting to the silence.
They sat in complete silence until Dr. Marshland came back. "Just what I thought." Angela grabbed Brennan's hand and squeezed it. "Congratulations. You're pregnant."
Angela was silent, so Brennan looked over at her face. It was a mix of shock, surprise, and happiness. She squeezed her hand and smiled at her.
"From my tests, it looks as though your only about two months along, but I don't have the right equipment. I'm going to give you a referral to see Dr. McPherson. She's great in obstetrics, one of the best in the country. I'll have my receptionist make you an appointment."
"I- I- I- I'm going to…be a mom." said Angela slowly, as if she was trying to understand the idea.
Suddenly, Brennan's phone started beeping. "Come on, Angela. We have to go. Booth needs us at the lab. He says it's really important."
"Thank you doctor." said Angela quietly.
"Anytime."
They made an appointment with Dr. McPherson for the next day at one. As they left the building, Angela was silent.
"Are you okay?" asked Brennan once they got into the car.
"I can't wait to tell Jack." she said suddenly smiling. "Temperance, I'm going to be a mom!!! Oh my god!"
"I told you you needed to see a doctor! Aren't you glad I didn't let you off the hook?" said Temperance, smiling as Angela nodded. "Now hold on. We have to get to the lab." She flicked on the sirens and they sped off.
When they arrived at the lab, they headed toward the interrogation room, where Booth had said for them to go. They walked into the observatory and Booth sighed. The speaker was on and Angela was shocked to see Hodgins and the victim's wife sitting in the room being interrogated. "Why is h-" Booth cut her off with a loud "SHHH!"
Booth leaned over to Brennan and whispered, "Bones, you shouldn't have brought Angela with you!"
"Why not?" she whispered back angrily.
Booth's tone softened. "Because what she's about to hear is going to destroy her."
"Ang, lets-" Brennan paused as the interrogator asked the question.
"In what way are you closely associated as you mentioned before, Dr. Hodgins?"
Suddenly, a horrible realization hit Brennan, and she tried to force Angela out of the room. But she wasn't quick enough.
Hodgins sighed. "We're having an affair."
Angela let out a stifled sob, and ran out of the room.
