Chapter 2 –
Three days later, we had solved the case, but we still had not talked about what she asked of me, I figured it was time. I stopped to pick up coffee on the way to the lab, knowing that she would be there by now, but most of the lab would not be.
Sure enough, I saw her sitting at her computer in her office, the door was closed. I strolled over knocked on the door; she looked up and smiled, and waved for me to come in as she stood. "Morning Booth, is there a case or is this social visit, because you never bring me coffee this early, I only got here twenty minutes ago."
"Social visit, I wanted to give you an answer to that thing you asked me about a couple of days ago." The smile on her face slid into a competlative look before I could blink. "Hey don't look like that you told me to wait a few days before I gave you an answer so I did. You haven't even heard it yet and you're making faces."
"I am not making faces!" I looked at her with my your crazy face, "Ok maybe I was." She took a deep breath, "I'm ready, what's your answer."
"Now Bones, before I tell you this I want to tell you that I knew my answer the instant you asked, but you told me to wait so I did." She nodded, I smiled. "Of course I'll be the father of your child, nothing would make me happier." I was beaming; she jumped into my arms, hugging me fiercely.
"Thank you, thank you, and thank you. Booth you have no idea how much this means to me." I hugged her back.
"Bones, it means a lot to me too." She hugged me tighter, and we stood in her office for a while in each other's arms.
When we finally broke she looked at me, "I hoped you'd say yes, I really didn't know what I'd do if you didn't. I really only wanted you to be the father, if you had said no I probably wouldn't have gone through with it." She turned back to the desk, having no idea that she had just made my day. She wanted to have my kids, not any kids, mine. "Let me get the information on sperm donation." She started rifling through her drawer.
"Bones, I have to get to the office, why don't I pick that stuff up later, at lunch?" I raised my eyebrow questioningly
"Sure I'll meet you at the diner at 12." She smiled and walked over to me and kissed my cheek. "Thank you Booth, really"
"Not a problem Bones I'll see you at lunch."
