Getting all these new spoilers about Baby Bones is making me very sentimental and emotional (even though I'm seventeen and have no children of my own!) so I'm writing a bunch of oneshots which is sort of going to be in story mode but skipping over to the more important moments of B&B's life with Baby. Anyways, enjoy!
Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own this because if I did that baby would have been here as soon as the second season.
Snapshot: February 14, 2012
Booth smiled, unbelievingly at the small pink bundle in his arms.
"I can't believe she's here…on today of all days." he thought out loud.
Brennan, laying, exhausted, on the bed next to him, chuckled softly. "Yes, it's quite…quite unbelievable, considering what we were doing at approximately this time last year, on this day."
Booth smiled. "Yeah. Shootin' those johnny guns was fun, but nothing compares to this, Bones." He said, kissing the forehead of the little girl in his arms. He was amazed at how tiny she was. Much tinier than Parker had been. She was eighteen inches long and 6 pounds, ten ounces. And she looked just like her mother.
She had the big blue eyes, bright and shiny as diamonds, and the determined arch of her brow, as well as the light auburn curls she inherited from Brennan. But her smile, that cute, involuntary little smile of hers was a combination of them both; evidence that she was a little bit of both, and not just a small clone of her mother. That smile, while being slightly crooked, much like Brennan's, also held the inevitable charm of a Booth mixed with the adorableness of the crooked smile. It was a dangerous combination that Booth was well aware of and smiled at the thought.
Then he frowned in horror. His baby girl had the same irresistible charm that he possessed, as well as the beauty of her mother… This was not good.
He knew that as soon as this little girl began to walk, no crawl, the boys would be all over her. And he'll be damned if any one of them would get to his little girl before she turned thirty.
He looked down into that sweet little face and all he could see was a girl as beautiful as his mother and as charming and social as himself.
Booth groaned, aloud. "I am so screwed." he said.
Brennan turned to him. "Why do you say that?" she asked.
Booth turned to Brennan, making sure their daughter was in full view, so he could make his point. "Just look at her, Bones. She's gorgeous!" he practically whined.
Brennan couldn't fight a soft smile when she looked at her daughter, something she'd made with Booth, and a slid down her cheek at the precious sight.
"Yes, she is." she whispered in awe. "Is that a bad thing?"
"Yeah!" Booth whined again. "Because she's gonna grow up fast, like Parker, only she's a girl so she's going to mature a lot faster and the boys are going to be all over her. Especially that Hodgins kid, because you know he's gonna be the creepy little bug kid and since she'll be spending so much time with him, she'll inevitably fall in love with him when she's like, 15, and I'll of course forbid it because she's too young, and then she'll run away with him and I'll never see her again because she hates me for keeping her away from her love and then you, Hodgins, and Angela will resent me from forcing our kids to run away, and then you'll divorce me-"
"Booth!" Brennan exclaimed. Booth looked up. "A few things, please. One, our daughter is barely two hours old. I highly doubt she'll be falling in love and running off with Michael anytime soon. Two, Michael, so far, is a very nice and normal little boy. Not to mention that he's only seven and a half months old right now. There's nothing wrong with them being friends. Three, she may be a lesbian."
"Bones!"
"What? It's a possibility and it's perfectly fine with me if she is. Is it not okay with you?"
"No, I-it's fine, Bones. I just don't want to think about my baby's sexual preferences right now." He cuddled the child closer to his chest, smiling as she let out a soft sigh.
"Okay, then. Four, though I will be quite angry at you for forbidding our daughter from being with somebody she truly cares for, I highly doubt that she will be as illogical as to run away at such a young age. We'd most likely be able to find her anyway, being part of the FBI and Jeffersonian."
"True. Is there a number five?"
"Yes. Since when are we married?"
"Oh. That. Well, I meant you'd leave me….or something. We don't have to get married, if you don't want to. I mean, she pretty much seals a deal that's already been sealed pretty long ago." He smiled down at the sleeping infant in his arms.
Brennan nodded in agreement. "I agree, but I must admit, I wouldn't mind being married at this point."
Booth looked up, surprised. "Really?" he asked, grinning madly. "You want to marry me?"
Brennan smiled, shyly. "I didn't say that. I said I wouldn't mind it."
Booth smiled. "Good enough for me." he gave the baby to her mother and pulled something out of his pocket, getting down on one knee next to the bed. "Temperance Brennan, will you marry me?"
Brennan covered her mouth with one hand, tears falling down her cheeks. In his hand was his mother's engagement ring. He'd shown it to her a few times in the last couple of months but had never attempted anything like this. Brennan tried to speak, but nothing came out so she just nodded, watching the crazy happy smile come over his face as he stood up and slipped the ring on her finger, kissing her deeply, being cautious of their baby's fragile head.
When they pulled back, they were both smiling. Booth looked down at his little girl. "She said yes, Baby." he whispered, "she said yes!"
