This is a very short oneshot to tide us through the long wait until November 3. Enjoy! Please review.
Booth put down his fork and gazed at Brennan. He had thought her beautiful before but now she seemed to glow. He felt like he was living a fantasy, something he had always dreamed about but never thought would happen. He had give up all hope and now look where he was! He was having a baby with the woman he loved. Parker was going to have a little brother or sister!
"What are you thinking about?" asked Brennan.
"You. Us. The baby. What gender do you think it is?"
Brennan opened her mouth to respond but quickly closed it. She was going to tell him about how some non-western societies where gender was determined by the role the individual played in day-to-day activities, not by their sexual characteristics. She wanted to tell him that sex would be the more accurate term, not gender. But she didn't. She was trying to be less literal, for Booth's sake and for the baby.
"My gut tells me that it's a girl," said Booth. "What does your gut tell you?"
"That it's human."
Booth chuckled at that. But then Brennan continued, "But my heart... my heart tells me to trust whatever your gut tells you. I'll be happy either way."
"Me too." He leaned in to kiss her.
