Author's Note: This is the first time I've ever posted anything here on , but not my first visit to the site. I'm very excited that I'm finally posting something and any reviews will be greatly appreciated. I'm still deciding where exactly I'm going to go with my story and the title may very well not be final, but I hope you enjoy my story. So, without further ado…


Chapter 1

"I'm pregnant," said Brennan in a nervous laugh, "You're the father."

Her partner, Booth, who was standing across from her in the light of a street lamp, was at loss for words. He didn't know what to say…all he could think to do was smile at the amazing news he had just given. So he smiled; the biggest smile of his life.

Now that her secret was out, Brennan also had no idea what to say. So she smiled too. The two stood there awkwardly, just smiling at each other for a few minutes until Brennan felt she needed to break the awkward silence.

"So…" She began, though not getting to finish her statement because she was abruptly cut off by a sudden hug from her partner. He had decided that because he could not express his emotions accurately with words he would just hug her, hoping to communicate the great emotion he was feeling.

Brennan, not knowing how to continue, hugged Booth back. At this moment Brennan was overcome with emotion and tears began to form and roll down her cheeks; she was just so happy.

Next it was Booth who broke the silence, "Hey Bones," he said, "You alright?" Noticing her tears.

"Yeah Booth," she replied, "I just thought, I-I thought you might be angry," in between tears flowing down her cheeks.

"No, of course not!" Booth explained, pulling away from her enough to see her face, while still holding onto her arms. "This is the greatest news I've ever been given!" He exclaimed again.

"Well, that's a relief…" said Brennan. She then began her earlier statement again, "So, what are we going to do now? Are we going to go on as usual? Are we going to tell our friends? Are we going to live together? Are we a couple now?" Brennan began sputtering again as a fresh wave of tears began to stream down her face. "Booth," she stuttered, "I-I-I don't know what to do, I-I'm so scared…" she faded into a whisper as Booth embraced her again.

"Bones," Booth started, "We need to talk, but not here, not at this time of night. Right now, we're going to home and we'll talk our 'situation' tomorrow."

"Th-that brings up a g-good point," Said Brennan while still shaking in attempt to remain rational, "W-where are we going to live, a-a-are we g-going to live together?"

"I don't know right now Bones," Said Booth, "but there is no way in hell I'm going to send you home by yourself in this state," He continued while hailing a cab.

Brennan was too confused, too shocked, and too tired to argue so she let Booth lead her into the cab he had hailed. While inside the cab Booth let Brennan lean against him and rest. Soon, they reached Booth's apartment building and he paid the taxi driver. He then helped still silent and shocked Brennan up to his apartment where he left her sitting on the couch when he went to the kitchen to get himself a beer and her some water. He returned a few minutes later to find her fast asleep on his couch. Even with her tear-stained face and ruffled clothing and hair he thought she looked absolutely beautiful. He contemplated waking her up to ask her to move to his bed so she wouldn't have to sleep on the couch, but he decided against it knowing that she would insist on taking the couch so he could sleep in his bed. So instead, he picked her up as silently as possible and brought her into his bedroom and laid her down on his bed. He then proceeded to remove her jacket and shoes so that she would be as comfortable as possible. He then got himself ready for bed and laid silently down next to his sleeping partner. As he watched her sleep he began to feel sleepy himself and soon he fell into a peaceful sleep, with a giant smile on his face.
