Brennan forced her eyes open she didn't know when she fell asleep, or for how long. She sat up and the smell of food filled her nose making her stomach feel sick she turned her body towards the kitchen noticing Angela.

"Hey your awake" said Ange as she faced Brennan.

"How long was I asleep" asked Brennan slowly rubbing her eyes and stretching.

"Just a few hours, are you hungry."

"No not at all, I mean my stomach hurts and I feel weak, all I want to do is sleep" she said softly.

"I know you are exhausted Bren, but you have to try to eat something, at least for the baby."

"Okay Ange, I will try" said Brennan as she stood up from the couch and sat at the table. Ange smiled and set the plate in front of her. Brennan slowly ate the pasta with each bite her stomach jerked, finally Brennan's body couldn't take it she quickly deserted her plate and ran to the bathroom emptying her stomach. Ange had heard Bren start to throw up and ran towards her.

"Are you okay Tempe" asked Ange the concern in her voice?

"Yup just fine" said Brennan standing up and flushing the toilet.

"Come on my cooking isn't that bad" said Ange the sarcasm noticeable in her voice.

"It wasn't you're cooking it's the damn morning sickness" said Brennan staring at

her friend.

"It was a joke Bren, maybe you should stay in bed for today you don't look well." Tempe nodded and headed for her room quickly changing into a nightgown and climbing into bed pulling the sheets up to her neck. Brennan rested her head against the pillow and noticed Ange walk in holding a glass.

"Here if you can't keep food down hopefully you can keep down ice chips" said Ange Handing the glass to Brennan and leaving the room closing the door behind her. Tempe placed a piece in mouth and put the rest on her nightstand. How she wished Booth was still here, she wished she could tell him she was pregnant, but not with just anyone it was his, his baby. Brennan wondered what the baby would look like, would it resemble her or Booth? She clutched the pillow tighter and forced the thought of Booth from her mind, Clenching her eyes tightly closed. Brennan wished she could just forget him like the way he forgot about her, but she couldn't she didn't know why but every time she tried to fall asleep he popped up in her dreams. Brennan sighed clenching the pillow tighter she wanted sleep to come willingly but there she laid awake and the tears threatening to slide down her cheeks.

Brennan awoke and looked at her alarm clock it read five o'clock AM her body felt weak she wasn't even sure she could stand without falling, but her brain was restless she knew her mind wouldn't let her relax. She pulled herself from bed and got her clothes and headed for the shower. She took longer in the shower letting the warm water take her from her thoughts, she got out turning off the water and quickly got dressed throwing her wet hair in a ponytail, debating whether to put on make up she decided not to she just didn't have the strength. Tempe quickly walked towards the door and tried to open it but the second she unlocked she heard Angela's voice.

"What the hell Bren it's not even six in the morning where do you think you are going."

"Work, my mind is restless I thought if I could get some work done my mind would finally be tired" Brennan knew that did not seem logical but it was all she had at the moment.

"I close my eyes for three hours and your already to go to work you were up half the night crying and vomiting the only thing you are doing is staying in bed."

"That's nonsense see I feel better said Brennan faking a smile knowing that she was lying threw her teeth.

"Sure you are you go back to bed and I will go to the lab and get the files that need your assistance." Brennan knew she wouldn't get any work done without the Skelton but she was afraid to argue with Angela right now.

"Yes mommy dearest" said Tempe as she walked towards her room.

"How does she even know about mommy dearest" said Ange as she grabbed her keys and locked the door behind her.
