Chapter 1- A new life
Brennan swallowed before she said, "I'm…I'm Pregnant," Booth face went blank as he looked at her not knowing how to feel. "You're the father," She quickly said watching his face light up as he whispered stunned, "Yeah,"
Brennan smiled at Booth as she gently placed her hand over her still flat stomach. "You're pregnant," Booth asked smiling feeling his heart beating with excitement. Brennan grinned as Booth wrapped his arms around her and twirled her around. "Yes I am," She said beaming as Booth kissed her on the cheek over and over.
"You're okay with it," Brennan asked smiling resting her head against his shoulder as Booth rubbed her back gently as he said, "I'm more then okay with it Temp," He told her as Brennan looked into his eyes.
"Good," Brennan said giggling softly, "I'm glad," She beamed at him. Booth smiled at her and set her down gently watching her grinning at him feeling her heart beat with relieve and exhilaration. Brennan never thought she would have a baby, let alone a baby with a man she always had a secret crush on ever since they started working together.
"How are we going to break the news to thee others, Booth," Brennan asked embracing him. Booth looked at her and stopped to thing for a couple of seconds before he replied, "At the moment I'm not sure," He smiled kissing her on the forehead.
"We'll figure out something, I'm sure," She told him laughing and putting her hand over her stomach.
Booth nodded smiling as Brennan looked up at the sky and breathed a sigh of relieve. "Let's grab dinner," He said pulling her into his embrace. With a slight chuckle Brennan said, "Sure, I'm famished."

At the Royal Diner
Booth and Brennan walked into the diner and sat down at their favorite table by the window. With a smile Brennan looked through the menu as the waiter handed them the menus.
"What are you ordering," Booth asked.
"Hmmm, I was thinking a salad with balsamic vinegar dressing," Brennan said smiling at Booth. "And water with a lemon," She added putting down the menu.
"Good," Booth smiled and continued looking through the menu. Brennan placed her purse on the table and rummaged through for a couple of minutes and pulled out a pen and a note pad. Booth looked at her and asked, "What is that for,"
With a soft giggle she said, "Oh, I decided I'd write a book,"
"A book," Booth asked surprised.
Brennan smiled and explained that she was planning on writing a book about her pregnancy and every moment in between during her pregnancy. Booth really loved the idea of her writing a book about her pregnancy.
"How many chapters will the book have," He asked with a smile on his face as Brennan wrote something in the note pad.
"I don't know yet. As many as I need to tell my story I guess," She tells booth chuckling.
Booth reaches out and takes her hand and smiles at her. Brennan smiles back at him as the waiter comes and takes their orders.
As they were waiting for their meals to arrive Brennan's stomach was doing back flips and her heart beating fast with joy and slight nervousness. Booth sat there thinking about how their future is going to be with the new baby and what will happen with them in the future. He is very excited about the news of Brennan's pregnancy, and the fact that it is his baby that is growing inside her.

"So, what do we do now," Booth asked smiling at her.
Brennan laughed softly as she watched Booth's smile grow. She leaned across the table and caressed his cheek as she enquired, "Do what, we are waiting for our food to arrive. Isn't that what we are doing now," She chuckled still stroking his cheek.
"I was talking our situation Bones," Booth told her reaching up and placing his hand over hers and kissing her hand slowly.
"Oh, you're talking about my pregnancy," She laughed softly as she sat back down in her chair.
"Yes," Booth said laughing.
"Oh," Brennan giggled softly rubbing her stomach gently.
"Your orders," A young woman said approaching Booth's and Brennan's table.
Booth and Brennan looked up at the young woman as she placed their meals and drinks in front of them.
"Thank you," Booth said smiling.
Brennan took a sip of her water and said, "Thanks,"
"Sure," The waitress said as she started to walk away towards the back of the diner.
"We have to buy so many things, Booth," Brennan told him in a worried tone of voice as she put her hands up to her face, "Oh my god,"
Booth stood up and walked over to her side of the table embracing her by the shoulders and whispering softly into her ear, "Everything is going to be okay,"
Brennan stood up and quickly walked out of the diner muttering something under her breath. Booth pulled out his wallet and tossed thirty and five dollars in change on the top of the table and followed Brennan out. He found her pacing back and forth in the alley still nervously mumbling.
"Bones, Bones," Booth called out to her as he approached Brennan.
"Impossible de le faire," Brennan kept repeating in French as Booth embraced her. She felt overwhelmed and lost in her thoughts to notice that Booth has pulled her into his arms.
"Temp," Booth whispered into her ear as she slowly calmed down in his arms.
With a deep breath Brennan replied, "I don't know if I can do this,"
Booth smiled and pulled her tighter and said, "Yes you can, we can, together,"
Brennan smiled up at him as she leaned against him trying to let the entire information sink in and thinking to herself if she would make a good mother to her baby that is growing inside her for a couple of days now.
