A/N: Thank you to all of you who read and reviewed my first story. It meant a lot, all of your kind words. I hope you enjoy this one as well. I will try to update as quickly as possible, but with the kids out of school and all home, it may be a while in between chapters. This is the continuation of Their Choice. We pick up in the hospital where the last one left off. If you haven't read the previous story, you may want to as this one may be confusing without it. I hope you enjoy it and as always please review.

Chapter 1

Scion Continued.

~Booth~

The nurses came into the room shortly after our makeshift family left for the night .

My wife, of course, grumbled at the notion of having to put Christine back in her crib.

The nurse very calmly and rationally informed Bones that it was against hospital policy for a newborn to sleep in the same bed with someone else.

Bones very calmly handed Christine over to me and informed the nurse that her father would be putting her to bed.

Making my way back over to Bones, I moved the crib closer to the side of her bed.

I climbed in next to her and gathered her in my arms with a kiss to her temple.

My wife glared at the nurse, almost daring her to say something.

She could be territorial when she wants to be.

Especially since this was the nurse that had blatantly flirted with me when we first arrived at the hospital.

She doesn't like to share.

For all of her talk of how humans aren't monogamous beings she is completely unwilling to share me.

Not that I would ever be willing to share her either.

She turns into a Bones not unlike a momma bear protecting her den.

I love every minute of it.

~Bones~

Logically, I know, Nurse Sara has been assigned to our room, but that doesn't mean I have to like her...right?

When Seeley and I first came to the hospital, I forced him to park with me in the car and then walk in with me.

No matter how much he grumbled about it, he agreed.

I wasn't ready for him to leave my side even for a few minutes.

When I told him that, he smiled and leaned over and kissed me before pulling as quickly as possible into the nearest spot.

After parking the car, my husband ran around and opened my door.

He placed his arm around my back and helped me get out of the car.

I have learned how to appreciate these little gestures even though they are unnecessary and completely alpha-male in nature.

It is Seeley's way of showing his love and devotion to me.

We slowly made our way into the lobby of the maternity section of the hospital.

As I told the nurse my name and that I was in labor, I noticed that my husband was frantically looking through my tote bag, clearly distressed.

"Honey, what are you looking for?"

'Did we bring an outfit to bring our baby home in? I can't remember.'

"Yes, we did. It's in my suitcase. Relax Seeley we have a while until the baby is born."

For the first hour we were at the hospital he was extremely restless.

It would have annoyed me a lot, had it not been quite so endearing.

Thinking along these lines reminds me how he reacted when I told him I was pregnant.

It had been about three weeks since our wedding.

I was supposed to get my period a week ago and it still hadn't come, not to mention that I was feeling nauseous almost daily.

Before lunch, I walked to the drugstore and bought a test.

I also did my own blood test at the lab.

The over the counter urine test came three to a pack.

I knew it was a bit of, as Seeley would put it, overkill, but I went ahead and took all three tests.

In all, I had taken 4 tests total.

All four came back clearly positive.

My husband came by about an hour later to take me to lunch.

I couldn't stop smiling at him.

~Booth~

Thinking back to when I found out Bones was pregnant, I can't help but grin.

I had gone to the lab to pick up my wife for lunch.

She was sitting on the sofa in her office just looking at her lap smiling softly.

I cleared my throat as I entered so that I wouldn't startle her.

"Hey angel. What's up?"

'The ceiling, and above that the roof.'

I chuckled and then told her I meant what's going on.

She gave me her look that shows that she is storing the information for future use.

For the first time, I noticed she was holding something.

It looked like a pregnancy test.

"Bones? What are you holding?" I asked with a hint of hesitation in my voice.

'Booth, I'm... I'm pregnant.' She answered slowly and softly.

I was so stunned that I couldn't even say anything.

I felt my smile slowly creep across my face.

Braking out of my stupor, I made it over to her in one step.

I pulled her up into my arms and crashed my mouth into hers while wrapping my arms tightly around my wife.

'Booth?'

I pulled back far enough to look at her face.

"Yes, Angel?"

'Are you sure you're alright with this? I mean it happened much quicker than I'm sure you thought it would.'

"Temperance, listen to me carefully...ok?"

At her nod, I continued working to assure her of my commitment to us.

"Temperance, I love you, and even though you just told me a moment ago, I already love our baby."

At her expression, I knew she wanted to correct me and tell me that it wasn't a baby yet, just a fetus or a cluster of cells.

"I know scientifically it isn't a baby yet, but it is our baby. You are going to be the best mom. I see how you are with Parker, and your nieces. This baby is going to have the most amazing mother, and a father that would do anything to keep them safe and happy. Yes, this happened very quickly as we haven't even been married a month yet. But on the other hand, look at how our entire romantic relationship has evolved. We went from being just work partners to partners in every sense of the word. Less than a month later, we were engaged and two weeks after that we were married. This is the perfect timetable for us. We've never done anything "normal" when it comes to our relationship, why should this be any different. Our baby will have so much love not just from us but from our whole family as well. We will get through anything that life throws at us as long as we are together."

Bones started crying silently and wrapped her arms around me.

"Are you o.k. now?"

At her nod, I dropped a kiss to her temple and pulled her in closer to my body.

We just stood there with our arms around each other for a moment.

We only pulled apart with Angela clearing her throat and and added ' Well, hello Agent Studly'

I pulled back from my wife a bit, but kept her in my arms.

"Hi, Angela. Bones are you ready for lunch?"

She nodded and I let her out of my arms to go and gather her things, so that we could head out.

We had a lot to discuss, but I couldn't wait for this discussion.

I've been waiting a long time for us to be here.
