A/N: I am so sorry for being so late in my updating. But I've been adjusting to school and sports and trying to find a date for Homecoming that I've put my stories on the back burner! I'm going to try and update in the next week.
They sat in silence, Brennan's arms around Booth's waist, as the thermometer took her temperature.
When Booth took it out, he read it and his eyes widened.
"102.5 Bones. Nope. No way. You are gonna sit right here while I go call Angela to come over and sit with you while I go to work." He said as he walked towards the bathroom.
"But Booth!" He stuck his head out of the door before she could finish.
"No buts Bones. You're sick; you don't even need to come with me today. In fact, you don't even need to come for the next-"
"Yes I do Booth!" She interrupted. He stopped and looked at her.
"You do what Bones?"
"I need to go Booth. I need to know that I'm being helpful. I can't just sit here and do nothing while you go and find her Booth and you know that." He sighed and walked towards her. When he reached her, he pulled her into a hug.
"I know Bones, I know. I was just hoping maybe the hormones would finally have you agreeing with me." She hit him. "And I deserved that." She pulled back.
"Yes, you did." She slid out of his grip and walked towards the bathroom.
"I'll take a shower while you sit here and ponder at the thought of how I just got you to feel guilty about me going to work with you." He sat down on the bed as the water turned on in the shower.
"She does that every time." He said aloud to no one.
"I heard that Booth!" She yelled from the bathroom. He chuckled.
He opened their bedroom door and mindlessly walked towards Alyvia's room. He opened the door and stepped in, flicking the light switch as he did.
The light bathed the purple room and made it seem bright and cheerful, the perfect room for his little girl. He walked around and touched random things around the room, remembering.
He dropped the last box. The box that meant that they were finally in the house. Their house.
She sat in the white rocking chair that he had set in the corner of the room when he had started unloading the boxes holding the things for the nursery into the house.
"There!" He said proudly. "We are officially moved in!" He smiled at her. She smiled back and then gripped both of the arm rests so she could pick herself up out of the seat. She walked over to him.
"Technically, we have all of the boxes containing our belongings in our home. But we are NOT moved in unless you plan on living out of boxes." He sighed.
"You gotta suck the fun out of everything. Don't ya Bones." She shook her head.
"No I just point out all the rational things that you don't notice." She kissed him and then went back to the rocking chair.
He shook his head and then opened the first box. He stopped and then looked around the room.
"We don't have anything for her room Bones."
"Yes we do, we have a dresser and a crib and-"
"Well yeah we have all that, but we don't have a color picked out or curtains or things like that." She frowned.
"Oh. Well her room is not going to be painted a girly color such as pink. Perhaps green or yellow."
"Oh come on Bones. She's my little princess. She's gotta have her room be pink."
"I will not let you paint our daughter's nursery pink Booth!" They sat in silence for a minute while he thought.
"Okay, so we compromise. How about orange?"
"Orange… is just not a color suitable for a baby's room Booth. Especially not a girl."
"What about red?"
"Red reminds me of blood, which will remind me of work which I do not want to think about near our daughter which I'm thinking you're thinking the same thing I presume." He grimaced.
"Huh. I never thought of it that way. Okay let's try this. Purple!" She thought about it, then smiled.
"Purple's a good color. It's not gender associated, and it will work in a baby's room. I think we just chose purple." He smiled.
"Good. Well since we're compromising, let's talk about names. You're due in five weeks Bones and we don't even have a clue what her name is gonna be."
"That is a valid point." She said. He snapped his fingers.
"Okay this is what we'll do, I'll come up with a list of first and middle names and you do the same, and then, when we're both satisfied, we can show each other our lists and go from there." Her face grew fascinated.
"I like that idea. Go!"
His face dropped. "What? What do you mean 'go'?
"I mean go and start because I want to do this now!" He smiled and placed a kiss on her lips before walking out. She smiled before she looked around and sighed.
"Booth!" She called. She heard his hurried footsteps coming back down the hall.
"What is it Bones?"
"Do you think you can help me up and then get me a piece of paper and a pen? Please?" He chuckled.
"Anything for you Mama Bones." He told her as he helped her up. She hit him.
"I said don't call me that."
"Alright. Alright."
"You ready Bones?" She looked up from her spot on her head.
"I believe so yes." He walked in and sat next to her. She looked up at him.
"I guess I'll go first then. Okay, how about Camryn Elizabeth?"
"It's okay."
"You wanna know what Bones, let's ask her."
"Booth, I highly doubt she'll understand us even if she can hear us."
"Well let's try it Bones."
"Fine but just remember, if she kicks me in the ribs while you're doing this, I'm going to punch you in the ribs so you'll be in pain right with me."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So baby girl, what do you think of Camryn? I think it's a pretty name and mommy didn't shoot it down so now it's up to you." Booth felt a tiny kick come from Brennan's stomach.
"Ha! So Camryn's a keeper for now?" He looked to Brennan.
"I think it's acceptable so yes. May I say mine now?"
"Let's hear it Bones," Booth said, preparing himself for a very weird and complicated name
"Mollie. Mollie Elizabeth." Booth visibly relaxed.
"Mollie. Mollie?" He said, trying it out. "I had an ex-girlfriend named Molly I think." She quickly crossed it out.
"Hey I liked that name!"
"Our daughter will NOT have the name of one of your ex-girlfriend's Booth. You might as well tell me all their names now so we can get rid of those names."
"Fine, so there was Cam, Rebecca, Tessa, Hannah, Molly, Mallory, Lucy, Ashley, Lily, and Danielle." There were three slashes on her paper as Booth said the names. He looked on her paper.
"Mallory Angela, Lucy Marie, and Ashleigh Christine. Okay well what's your last two names Bones?"
"Serenity. Serenity Hope."
"You want to name our daughter after two emotions?" He asked, shocked.
"I thought it was a beautiful name but if you don't-"
"Bones, I love it. I just didn't expect it from you. You are the most rational person I know. You threw me through a loop."
"So you like it then?"
"Yeah." He took a deep breath. "What's your last one?"
"Olivia Jade."
"I like Olivia. Not so sure about the Jade part though." Her mouth set in a pout, obviously that had been her favorite.
"Fine, what's your last name?" She asked.
"Abigail Joy."
"Abigail?" She asked.
"Yeah! We could call her Abby!"
"I don't know Booth."
"Will you at least hear me out on why though?" She looked up to see his brown eyes giving hers a sad puppy dog look.
"Oh fine. Why Booth?"
"Her nickname could be AJ. And Joy was your name when you were little."
"I still like Olivia." He snapped his fingers again.
"I've got it!" He grabbed her clipboard and started writing on her paper.
"Alyvia Joy Angela?"
"Yeah! This way, you get your name Olivia, just spelled differently. I get my middle name and nickname, and I know you wanted Angela somewhere in there so we all win! Here let's try them."
"Okay baby girl, here are the names we've got for you. Do you like Camryn Elizabeth?" He again felt a little kick.
"Okay Camryn's still a contender. What about Serenity?" They sat in silence until Brennan broke it.
"She's not moving Booth, I don't think she likes it." Booth's face transformed into a pout.
"What about Olivia Jade?" Booth saw the very small bump on Brennan's stomach appear as Brennan took in a sharp breath of air.
"You okay Bones?" She nodded.
"I think she liked that name."
"Abigail Joy?" Brennan shook her head.
"She likes it more than Serenity because she's moving but she didn't kick me."
"Okay then what about Alyvia Joy." All of a sudden, Booth was being punched in the ribs as she kicked Brennan's stomach.
"Oww Bones." He whined while rubbing his side.
"She…kicked my…ribs Booth!"
"So Alyvia it is!" She smiled at him.
"Alyvia." She tried out as a kick came from inside her. "I like it. Alyvia Joy Angela Booth."
Booth circled the name and placed the clipboard on the bed.
"Alyvia." He said as he placed his hands on top of hers, which rested on her stomach. "Alyvia."
"Booth. Booth! Booth, where are you?" Booth quickly shook his head to clear him of his stupor and walked out of the nursery, shutting the light and the door behind him.
She was walking around the apartment looking for him, and as she passed him, he wrapped his arms around her waist to catch her.
"I'm right here Bones. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, but I couldn't find you. I was worried."
He pulled her closer into him, giving her a hug.
"Don't worry Bones. I'm not going anywhere. I promise."
"You don't know that Booth." He looked down at her broken eyes. He would kill Broadsky himself for all the pain he had cause the two of them.
"Fine, I promise I won't go anywhere, willingly."
She snuggled closer into his chest.
"Come on, I gotta go take my shower and you have to finish your hair." They walked to their bedroom.
As soon as they walked in the door, Booth's phone rang.
Booth grabbed his cell phone, and once he saw who was calling, grabbed the tracker and Brennan and opened the closet door.
"Booth what are you-"
"Broadsky's calling me. Get in the closet with me and track this number."
