Dr. Temperance Brennan emerged from the front doors of the Jeffersonian Institution. She took in a deep breath of fresh air. She didn't currently have a case, and was preparing for a much needed night off. For years she had absolutely dismissed the idea of children, she couldn't find a rational reason to want one, but recently rationality went out the window. However, with her job, she knew she would never have time to care for an infant. She knew that being a mother wasn't an easy job; but at the moment Dr. Brennan thought she was up for the challenge. At that moment she saw Booth pull up into the Jeffersonian parking lot.
"Booth, what are you doing out here?" Brennan asked.
"We need to talk." Booth replied.
"Really? I need to talk to you as well." Brennan stated.
"Come on, we'll talk on the way." Booth said. They walked back to Booth's SUV and they got in. After putting on their seatbelts Brennan looked at Booth.
"What'd you want to say?" Brennan asked.
"I was wondering if you would come to Parker's birthday party with me on Saturday. For some reason he likes you." Booth said with a laugh.
"I can go. Anything for Parker." Brennan stated.
"Thanks." Booth paused, "you said you wanted to talk to me. What's going on Bones?" Booth asked.
"I need to ask you for a favor." She said looking at him with those deep brown, sincere eyes of hers.
"Anything." He said to her curious of what she was going to say.
"Recently I've been thinking more about children, Sweets says that I never wanted kids because of my abandonment issues, and now that I have my dad back in my life, I think I can move on. I was hoping that you would give me some sperm." Brennan said, not able to understand the look on Booth's face.
"You want my sperm? Don't you think there is a better choice? I mean we work together. I wouldn't have much time for a child either. I already don't get to see Parker that much." He said as he rubbed his face.
"Booth, the reason you don't get to see Parker is because of Rebecca. But, you don't have to worry about that, I'm not looking for a commitment. I only need you for conception." Brennan said.
"Wait, you want me to have a child, and then just walk away?" He asked as he stared at Brennan.
"We're very busy people, and I didn't want you to have to worry, I'm very stable, financially." Brennan said sincerely.
"I'm not going to be someone's father and not be the dad!" Booth exclaimed.
"Isn't being a dad and being a father the same thing?" Brennan asked.
"No, they aren't." Booth replied. "I can't believe you even said something like that, I'm taking you home."
"You know what; I never should have asked you. Let me out of here. Stop the car." Brennan said taking off her seatbelt.
"Bones, where are you going?" Booth asked.
"I'm going back to the Jeffersonian. Now let me out of the car." Brennan said. Booth kept driving. "I'm not kidding; I will get out of a moving car. Just stop, right now." Booth ignored Brennan and kept driving down the road until he had to stop at a red light. Brennan opened her door and got out of the car.
"Bones!" Booth hollered through the open window.
