Sorry about the long wait. Life got in the way.

So for my story lets pretend that Booth did not arrest Max before the wedding.

Max may still be arrested later. Im still unsure.

Enjoy :]]]


Four Months Later

"Shit!" I cursed as I threw the third stick onto the bathroom counter. "Oh God, this can not be happening."

Four months ago I married my best friend, confessed my biggest secret, now this. This is so unexpected; how am I going to tell Seeley?

"Bones?" I heard from the other side of the bathroom door. "Are you alright?"

"Umm, I'll be right out!" I yelled as I took on last look at what I threw on the counter. Sighing I picked it back up. I slowly took a deep breath and reached for the door. My face, I could only assume, was pale and held a look of horror.

"Tempe what's wrong?" Seeley questioned when I emerged. I didn't speak. I just held my hand out to him to see what I have been staring at for the last ten minuets. My eyes wandered to my hands and his eyes followed mine. A small smile spread upon his face. "Baby, does this mean we're having a baby?"

"Yes," I meekly replied. Before I could register what was happening I was picked up and swung in a circle. "Seeley, no one knows we're married yet. What are we going to do?"

"Tell them!" He exclaimed full of glee.

"What about our partnership, my lies?" I asked. "Seeley, I'm not ready to be separated. I'm not ready for everyone to know."

"Come here," he said as he pulled me into his chest. We stood there for what seemed like an eternity- swaying back and forth with his arms wrapped tightly around me. "Baby, we can't keep any of this a secret for much longer."

"I know, but…"

"No buts. We got to tell everyone."

"Fine," I sighed. "We'll tell our families. I'm not ready to tell anyone from work."

"We don't have long, Temperance."

"I know. Tonight lets have dinner with my dad and tell him. You can call your brother and grandfather whenever you want. I'm going to call Russ after I let my father know." Pausing, I shook my head. "We'll tell Parker this weekend when we take him to the movies."

"O.k. Then we will let our bosses know."

"Seeley…" I warned.

"I want everyone to know that I love you and we are having a baby."

"Seeley…"

"We got to tell them…"

"I know! I know. I just cant, not yet."

I felt a kiss on my forehead and watched as he walked away.

Later that night

"So I called my brother and told him, he didn't seem to care too much," I heard Seeley say from in front of the t.v. "But when I called Pops, why don't we just say I'm in trouble."

"Why?"

"Because he wasn't invited to the wedding, he never met you, he wasn't informed sooner, and because I'm having another child and he doesn't know its mother."

"Oh," was all I managed to say when I heard a knock at my door. I went to the door and opened it.

"Hi dad," I said as my father walked into my apartment.

"Hello sweetheart," he replied then placed a kiss on my cheek. He then noticed Booth. "Booth, what are you doing here?"

"Uh, dad why don't you sit at the table, dinner is done."

"So Tempe why am I here?" My father questioned as he sat down at the table.

"Well Max," Booth started then reached for my hand. "We have something to tell you."

"Finally!"

"Dad, we haven't told you anything yet."

"If you two have to tell me something it has to be that you two finally became a couple."

"Not quite…" Booth started.

"Not quite? Now I'm a bit confused."

"Dad we got married after Angela and Hodgins ran out at there wedding."

"And it took this long to tell me?"

"Max, look, we wanted to know where we stood on this. Only person who knows we are married is Parker."

"You hush! Tempe, I'm your father, why did you wait so long to tell me?"

"Dad, I'm not used to informing people of my decisions. And don't hush him, I'm the only one who is allowed to."

My dad tried to reply, his mouth opening and closing several times. He just sat quietly glaring at my husband. The tension built up quick and thick. I just can't take this tension. I need to think of something and soon to break it.

"I'm pregnant," blurted out of my mouth.

"You're what!"

"Having Seeley's child."

Booth watched the exchange like it was a tennis match. He was to scared o move or speak.

"You got my daughter pregnant," it was a statement more than a question.

"Sir, we weren't really planning on this baby," stuttered my poor husband. "But I love you daughter and my unborn child. I'll protect them."

"I swear if you hurt my daughter…"

"I know."

Two hours later

"Thank you for dinner Tempe," my father said as he walked out of the door.

Dinner went well after my father threatened to kill my husband. He now seemed excited about becoming a grandfather. Dishes were put away and the table was cleaned and now my father was leaving. I was looking forward to taking a nice long bath and getting in bed with my husband.

"Goodnight dad. Remember I'm going to tell Russ on my own time."

"All right dear."

"Bye Max."

"Booth, take care sweetheart," my dad said as he walked out of the door.

"Let's get ready for bed," I said as I locked the door.

"I thought you'd never say that," Seeley murmured as he followed me into our room.


It's longer than the other chapters. I hope you all liked it!
