"So calling in the pros huh?" Castle asked as they sat down at a table.

Becket gave him a glare, "Well there isn't a whole lot Lanie can do with a pile of bones now is there? But we'll still be working the case it's still our jurisdiction."

"Hmm Dr. Temperance Brennan," Castle said as he looked up the name on his iPhone, "Hey she's an author like me! She's actually really good I've read some of her stuff."

Beckett rolls her eyes, "Great the last thing we need around here is another author running around." Castle puts his hand to his heart appearing to be deeply offended, but Beckett only laughs.

"Well considering how useful one author has been to you imagine what it will be like with two! This case will be closed in no time," Castle jokes.

"Yeah sure Castle in your dreams," She giggles a bit but her attention is drawn away when her phone rings, "Beckett." She continues her call but sighs when she puts the phone down.

"What?" Castle asked seeing her face.

"That was Lanie, Dr. Brennan will be here this afternoon, we are supposed to pick them up at the airport."

Castle gave her a questioning look, "Them?"

"Yes," Beckett sighed, "She is bringing her partner, Special Agent Seeley Booth of the FBI."

"I thought we still had jurisdiction over this case?"

"We do," Beckett nodded, "And I plan to keep it that way."

Later that afternoon at the airport…

"Bones just let me get your suitcase for you," Booth said reaching for her luggage.

"Booth stop it! I'm pregnant not an invalid," She said annoyed as she switched her suitcase to her other hand, "Mr. Castle and Detective Beckett are going to meet us at the terminal."

Booth sighs in resignation and continued to walk with Brennan, "Hey Bones do you think that's them?" Booth said pointing to a couple staring at the terminal after the majority of the passengers had left.

"Excuse me," Brennan called, "Are you Detective Beckett of the NYPD?"

"Yes you must be Dr. Brennan," She extended her hand to the detective as Booth coughed behind her, "And this is my partner Seeley Booth."

Beckett shook his hand as well, "It's nice to meet you Agent Booth but please remember that this case is still under NYPD's jurisdiction." A cough from Castle changed her direction of conversation, "This is Richard Castle, my partner."

"Richard Castle, the author?" Booth asked when he received the affirming nod from Castle he turned to Brennan, "Well looky there Bones another writer just like you."

She shot a glare at Booth, "I am familiar with Mr. Castle's work, however his presence here does confuse me."

"Castle is a consultant for the NYPD," Beckett answered, "But Agent Booth I'm afraid I must ask, if you have no jurisdiction then why are you here?"

"I," Booth started before Brennan cut him off.

"Booth is simply being over protective," she gestured to her pregnant belly, "He is convinced I will go into labor while I am assisting on this case." Beckett stared at her a little uncomfortable with the scientist's blunt attitude, Castle on the other hand found it intriguing and had to laugh a bit at his partner's expression.

"Bones!" he too was finding Detective Beckett's reaction amusing, "Any sane person would be worried about you traveling in your current condition."

"No Booth, Cam was perfectly fine with sending me out here it's just you being an insanely protective father."

If possible Beckett's jaw dropped even further, "Um wow. When are you guys due?"

"My due date is in 3 weeks," she answered, "But no matter what anyone thinks I am still perfectly capable of doing my job."

"Well it was nice to meet you Dr. Brennan," Castle interjected afraid of the road the conversation was going down.

She nodded, "I would appreciate it if you would take me to the crime scene now."

The ride over to the crime scene was strangely quiet. Both sets of partners were trying to figure the other one out.

What the hell is she thinking coming out here pregnant like that, Beckett was thinking and that FBI guy with her, he obviously loves her but this is my case! I'm not going to let some high and mighty federal agent take my work away from me. Her internal grumbling continued as she looked over to Castle who had a slightly amused look on his face.

Castle was utterly fascinated with the couple in the backseat, that anthropologist reminds me of Beckett, he thought. She's strong willed and stubborn. I wish we could be like that, the thought crosses his mind as he looks at Agent Booths hand resting on Brennan's stomach while she leaned her head against his shoulder, but Beckett doesn't feel that way. They can't be married since they don't have wedding rings…. I wonder why the FBI still lets them work together…..

Why is she doing this to me? Booth wonders, she is going to have that damn baby at a crime scene if she isn't careful. She should have been on desk duty months ago, why does Cam keep letting her out in the field? Probably because she doesn't need the pregnancy hormones at the lab all the time. He stops his angry thoughts for a moment as Brennan moves to lean her head against his shoulder, God I love her.

Brennan feels Booths hand against her stomach and fills her with a sense of happiness, He really does love me, but what's wrong with me that I keep pushing him away? What about these new people? They seem nice enough but there's something going on, I'll have to ask Booth later. All I want to do is sleep now I hope one of them will just wake me when we get to the crime scene.

Author's Note: Okay guys I'm really trying I hope it's not too OOC, I find it very hard to write for Brennan. I am doing my best to find a beta reader so I should improve soon. As always review! Until next time ~Cate
