I've got another one for you guys. My mom told me that she had this dream a few times before she gave birth to my sister, and I decided that Brennan would too. Tell me what you think.
Kittens
"Alright, Dr, Brennan, one more push and you'll have your baby! One more!"
Brennan pushed hard and long, a slight yell coming from her lips. Booth rubbed her back, whispering soothing words into her ear.
Soon it was over; they both heard a loud meowing cry and looked at each other, their eyes shining with unshed tears. They both smiled and laughed at each other.
"A baby, Bones. We're got our baby, a perfect little baby girl." Booth looked toward the doctor, who was walking to the hospital bed. She had a small bundle in her arms. The doctor settled the bundle in Brennan's arms and she and Booth were speechless.
Finally, Booth broke the silence, "She's perfect, baby." Both he and Brennan inspected the baby, looking at her small, pointed ears and her tiny pink nose. Her eyes were closed, but they both knew it would be a while until they opened. Their baby's body was small, but her legs were slightly bigger, her paws contracting and retracting, her small white claws popping in and out.
Brennan woke with a loud gasp, her body sweaty and hot. Booth stirred a little next to her.
"Bones? What's wrong? Is the baby here?"
She didn't speak, only breathing in and out quickly, one hand on her chest, the other on her swelled abdomen. Booth sat up and looked at her, examining her body for any signs of labor or injury.
"A kitten. A cat," Brennan was whispering to herself, looking more and more irritated and confused as she thought over her dream. "A kitten?" She let out a long breath, finally looking at Booth.
"I – I – I just dreamt that I gave birth to a cat! Again! And we were okay with it! Again! And you, you kept going on about how perfect she was! I don't want to give birth to a cat, Booth!"
Booth laughed quietly to himself, looking down so that she wouldn't see. "I don't want you to give birth to a cat either, Bones. I definitely want a human baby girl."
"Or boy! You always seem to forget that we could have a boy," She still looked distressed, and he gently sat her up next to him, rubbing small circles on her back. Brennan sighed, putting her head in her hands. They sat together for a few minutes before Brennan lay back down.
"A kitten. Ha! Yeah right . . . That's going to happen." She laughed, but Booth caught sight of a slightly distraught look as she closed her eyes again. He only prayed that the three day overdue baby would come soon. He was starting to have the same dreams.
Did you like it?
One reviewer said that they were too short, but these are supposed to be short, little one shots. So, sorry for the dissapointment, if I decide to write a longer one, either alert me or I'll tell you about it.
To the reviewer who mentioned the time in the previous chapter, I actually hadn't thought of that one yet. If it happens this season like that, you get to claim credit. :)
