Brennan watched as the muscles in Booth's back tightened and relaxed and then tightened again for what seemed like an eternity. She looked over at the clock frequently to see how much time has passed.
Three minutes and forty two seconds since she told Booth. Three minutes and forty two seconds since anybody had said a single word.
"Booth? Say something please."
Slowly, Booth turned around and looked at her, his facial expressions blank.
Brennan's heart skipped a beat when she saw him.
"Oh god." Was all she could squeak out.
She was starting to get dizzy and her face turned a pale white. Brennan stepped back, trying to reclaim herself, but started to lose her balance. Trying to get over to her bead the soften her fall, Brennan's vision started blurring and then went to a spotty black until everything was dark and she couldn't see at all.
When Brennan woke up, she was on the carpet of their bedroom with her head on Booth's lap.
"Hey Brennan, welcome back." He whispered softly as she grabbed his hand for reinforcement.
"Booth wha- what happened?"
"You fainted. You were out for two minutes."
Brennan tried to get up but was held back by Booth. "Hold on, don't get up. Are you hurt anywhere?"
"No booth I'm not hurt. Can I please get up now?"
"Not before you answer some questions first, okay? Do you know what your name is?" Booth said in a gentle but worried manor.
"I am Temperance Brennan. You call me Bones. Can I get up now?" She stated matter-of-factly.
"How many fingers am I holding up?" He put up three fingers.
"Three fingers, Booth. I don't have a concussion and I feel fine."
Booth hopped up to his feet and carefully helped Brennan up to hers too.
"Come on Bones we are going to the doctors."
"What? Booth I'm fine!"
"I know you are fine, Bones, but there is no way to know for sure how this baby of ours is. Our precious son or daughter may or may not be hurt and I couldn't live with myself if there was a problem. So we are going. Okay?"
There was no answer, but the look in Brennan's eyes told Booth the answer instead. Booth whipped out his phone and dialed Angela, asking her to come over to watch Christine. Of course Angela agreed and when she got there Booth and Bones thanked her and got into the car.
"Booth?" Bones asked with a worried look on her face, "How do you feel about me being pregnant again?"
"Temperance Brennan," he looked straight into her eyes, momentarily taking his eyes off the road, "I love you and this beautiful family that you have provided me with. I am overwhelmed with joy at having another child, so much joy that I cannot put into words. I have loved you since we first met and I have loved you all these years. I love you now and forevermore. There is no way possible to explain how much I love you and this child you are carrying."
Bones started tearing up at his speech and wanted to blame it on the hormones but knew deep inside that it more than hormones, it was love. But she had to know just one more thing.
"Why didn't you say anything when I first told you? I thought you were angry or- or disappointed."
"I could never be disappointed, Bones. I was just in shock, I did not expect you to say that but you tend to find a new way to surprise me everyday. I was overwhelmed with emotions that I honestly didn't know how to show and I just needed some time to think things through. But when you started going down, I snapped out of the sort of haze I was in."
Bones' face started to lighten and she smiled at Booth, a genuine, happy smile making them both feel better.
"Oh and one more thing," booth added.
"Yes?"
"I love you, Bones."
