The next day, Brennan was examining the remains on the forensic platform. Booth walked in and put his hand on her shoulder. Brennan saw his shadow, and started talking.

"I am sorry about what happened yesterday. I was insensitive towards you. I just don't understand why you would feel an obligation to this child's life." Brennan said. Booth stared at her.

"I can't just let this child go when it's my own flesh and blood. Booth said to her, Brennan turned around to look at him.

"I just thought that it would be in our best interest, yours, mine, and the baby's if you weren't around." Brennan stated.

"How can you say that Bones? I will always be there, we're friends and partners. You can't be both mother and father to a child when you can barely be a mother." Booth said. Brennan glared at him.

"Why would you say that?" Brennan replied.

"I'm sorry, but it's the truth. You don't have the time to be a mother Bones. Your life is science, anthropology, the lab, how are you going to raise a child by yourself?" Booth questioned. Brennan looked at her shoes or the floor, but wouldn't answer Booth.

"You are a working parent. You seem to handle everything just fine." Brennan replied.

"Bones, Parker lives with his mother; I don't see him very often, but when I do, I move heaven and earth to make him my sole priority. You've never been able to separate work and family. When's the last time you saw Russ?" Booth questioned.

"I don't know Booth. Maybe I could take some time off, or hire a nanny." Brennan reasoned.

"What about before the baby is born? You can't work and take care of yourself at the same time." Booth stated.

"Why not? I do now." Brennan said.

"It's different Bones. When you're pregnant, you won't be able to take care of yourself the way you do now." Booth replied. Angela walked into the room.

"Sweetie, me and you, my office, now." Angela said.

"Okay." Brennan said. Dr. Temperance Brennan and Angela Montenegro walked off the platform and toward Angela's office, leaving Booth behind them.

'What just happened here?' Booth asked himself as his partner walked out of his sight. He shrugged and sighed. He never claimed to understand his partner. She just didn't understand how life would be different with a child. He wasn't sure that she would ever understand just how different it is to have a baby. Booth shook his head. 'If she doesn't know now she certainly will soon.'
