Chapter 3: The Rain

They couldn't be happier; they spent the day off entirely in bed with Michael's hand draped around Christine's stomach, rubbing circles where their baby laid. Christine continued to get sick, but nowhere near as bad as the previous day. They would return to work tomorrow, it was going to be hard not telling their family, but they promised each other they would wait until the appointment to tell everyone. The night before they were to return to work was spent watching movies and just discussing their future. The next morning Michael was awaken to the sounds of his wife in the bathroom, he ran behind her rubbing her back as she continued to throw up any food that she had eaten the night before.

"I am so sorry baby...I wish I could take your place" Michael whispered in her ear, he felt so bad she had to go through it. When she finally looked like she was done he turned her around to look in her eyes "Are you sure you can work?"

"I'm pregnant not disabled" Christine said to Michael causing him to chuckle hearing the stories of his mother-in-law pregnant and she would say the same line to Booth.

"Okay...Let's get ready than" Michael said pulling up Christine gently to a standing position. They got ready without Christine getting sick again, the ride to the lab made Christine nauseous. When Michael got to the garage he quickly got out on to her side of the car, standing her up as she lay her head on his chest waiting for the nausea to pass.

"Thank you Mikey" Christine said when she finally felt better. They walked into the lab hand in hand, walking toward the office they shared, when a sound of someone clearing their throat interrupted them. They look at the platform to see the whole family looking at them, but continued to walk toward the office.

Angela, Cam, and Brennan watch from the platform as Christine puts down everything than walks to her husband. Michael wraps his arms around her talking to her and she nods than closing her eyes.

"Bren is Christine okay?" Angela said looking at her best friend.

"I don't know Ange, Michael called and said she would be better by today, but I don't know" Brennan said honestly. They turn to the window to see Michael kissing Christine's forehead and Christine smiling up at him, as he walks away to work with his dad.

Christine walks out of the office and toward the platform, putting on her gloves to look at the latest body. "Christine are you sure you can work, we can figure out the murder" Cam said looking at her almost like niece.

"I am fine Cam, I just want to work." Christine replies. The morning passes by quickly, when they heard the lab doors slide open and Booth walks in. "Bones, Christine, Michael lunch" He says

"Booth I didn't know you where bringing lunch today" Brennan says looking at her husband.

"Well Michael called and said he didn't have time to go out and get Christine lunch, and if I could bring it" Booth says as Christine's head snaps up.

"MICHAEL STACCATO VINCENT HODGINS!" Christine yelled across the lab as her husband comes running out of his dad's office and in front of her. "You called my dad to bring me lunch!" Christine said angry.

"You need lunch" Michael said emphasizing the word need and looking at her eyes. She gave up and followed him to her mom's office to eat lunch. Thankfully, she was able to keep it down and they returned to work with a simple kiss.

Christine was just about to think that she was going to make it through the day when she started to feel dizzy and lightheaded.

"Mom" Christine said getting Brennan's attention, Brennan looked over at her daughter and saw that she was pale and sweating. she walked over to her just as her daughter feel in her arms.

"Michael! Booth!" Brennan yelled, thankful that Booth was still at the lab working with Angela. They both come running hearing the panic in Brennan's voice to see her holding a passed out Christine in her arms.

"We have to get her to a hospital!" Michael said in a panic.

"Michael, she will be okay if she wakes up in a few seconds" Brennan said trying to calm Michael.

"No! we have to get her to the hospital! She is pregnant! Michael said loudly enough for his parents to hear him from outside their office. He saw that everyone was shocked by the news, but jumped into action. Booth ran to get the car, as Michael picked up his wife from the floor. Booth had his lights on racing down the streets as Christine woke,

"Michael the baby..." Christine said as she started to fall back asleep,only causing everyone to become more frightened.

"Hurry Booth!" Michael stresses in panic.

"I am going as fast as I can mike!" Booth yelled to the backseat. Michel sat there rubbing his wife's head praying that she will be okay. Booth pulled up to the hospital and both Brennan and Michael jumped out of the car. The hospital was not to busy, but when they saw Christine passed out and immediately got a stretcher. Michael tried to follow but was stopped by a nurse.

"Please she is my wife!"

"I am sorry sir, but you have to wait outside" the nurse said. Michael was just about to fight again when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Come on Michael..." Booth said leading him to where Brennan and his parents were waiting.

"Mik..." Angela started to state

"No mom. just no." Michael said putting his head in his hands. They sat in silence, everyone watched Michael. It was twenty minutes later when Michael heard his name.

"Oh, Ally" Michael said standing up.

"Hi Michael" She greeted.

"Is Christine okay?" Michael begs.

"I don't know yet, they just called me in, and I haven't seen her yet." Ally answered leading Michael to sit back down. "Is there anything you can tell me?"

"Well...she got sick a few days ago, and said she was fine. Finally she agreed to let me take her to the doctor, that's when she told us Christine was pregnant, we had an appointment with you on Friday." Michael explained.

"Okay, I am going to go see Christine, hang in there." Ally said walking away.

"Wow, you seem close to her." Hodgins commented.

"Yeah, that's Christine's OB/GYN, we met her in collage." Michael said generally to the family. The wait was killing everyone, especially Michael. Finally he saw the door open.

"Ally!"

"Hi Michael, I think we found out what's wring with Christine. "

"Is she going to be okay!?" Michael expressed in panic.

"Do you want to talk alone?"

"No Ally its okay this is Christine and my parents." he returned.

"Okay, we ran several tests and we found out that Christine has Iron-deficiency aneima, now she should be okay. Right now we have her on a nutrition drip to try and fix her iron. She will be on supplements to try and regulate the iron."

"Will you still be her OB?" Michael asking knowing that's what Christine wanted.

"Yes, at the moment it's not considered high risk, but we will have to keep a close eye on her." Ally responded.

"Can I see her?"

"Yes, I will allow you all to see her but keep in mind she is exhausted"

"Thank you Ally"

"It's my pleasure Michael, we are going to keep her over night, I will stop by before she is discharged." Ally said walk toward Christine's room.

The whole family walked into Christine's room, and saw she was sleeping. The only sounds in the room were the beep from Christine's monitors. The family was shell shocked, they had never seen Christine in the hospital, and she was one of the healthiest kids growing up. Michael took the spot next to Christine and held her hand as Booth and Brennan took the other side careful of the IV and monitors. Angela and Hodgins sat on the small couch on the other side of the room. When Christine started to stir, Michael jumped up.

"Mike…" Christine whispered.

"It's okay baby, you're in the hospital" when the words came out of his mouth Christine immediately reacted.

"What!? Michael the baby!" Christine said as tears sprang to her eyes.

"Our baby is fine." Michael said trying to explain but was cut off.

"Did you call Ally!?"

"Christine." Michael said seeing that she was starting to freak out, and he knew that was even worse for the baby. "Look at me." He said plainly waiting to meet his wife's eyes.

"Our baby is fine, Ally already looked at you. The reason you passed out was because she said you have a sever iron deficiency."

"Okay…we can handle that" Christine said starting calm down, making Michael chuckle. Finally she looked up and saw her family. "I am so sorry everyone, this is not how I wanted everyone to find out!"

"Its fine, we are just glad you and the baby is okay" Booth said and everyone agreed!
