"Are you sure your ready for this?" asked Booth he wasn't even sure if he could face Sweets.
"Booth we need to get this over and done with" Brennan then grabbed his hand and approached Sweets office.
Sweets instantly saw the linked hands and was a little shocked "Hey guys, how can I help exactly"
"Can we go in" Booth signalled to his office
"Yes, make yourselves comfortable" said Sweets not sure how to react to the way they were reacting.
Brennan and Booth took a seat and Brennan said "Theirs something we need to tell you"
"Fire away" Sweets said smiling
"I'm pregnant" said Brennan.
Sweets face dropped he certainly wasn't expecting this "Is Booth the father?"
"Yes" Brennan said quickly who else would be she thought to herself.
Sweets was dumb struck "Wow"
"So what does that mean exactly?" Said Booth sounding increasingly worried
"You just caught me off guard. I didn't even know you were, you know, together"
"Yeah for about 6 weeks" Brennan said proudly. It felt good saying that she said to herself.
"Well it would explain the change in behaviour towards each other. So I guess we won't be working together now" Sweets said sadly
"Why not?" asked Brennan who sounded shocked
"I wasn't aware the FBI would allow a relationship between workers"
"Well," said Booth interrupting "There not exactly going to get rid of the best partnership which solves the most cases are they?" said Booth showing off his charm smile. They were the best and he knew it.
Typical Booth Sweets thought to himself.
As they left Brennan felt optimistic. "That went better than expected, now we just need to tell our parents" As soon as Brennan said that Booth's face dropped what was Max's reaction going to be? Oh, God and his mother's he thought. Booth new that his mum would go on about her not meeting Bones and then she'd make lunch arrangements and then say how wonderful it was for him to behaving a child and then she would suggest names. It wasn't going to be a fun day he said to himself. But right now he had to face Max.
They had decided to meet Max and Russ at Brennan's apartment. Brennan had decided to make Mac and cheese. It was all going great. When Max herd the news all he said was congratulations and Russ said the girls would be excited. Booth felt things were going fine. That was, until Brennan had left the room to make a coffee. Max suddenly pulled Booth forward by his collar and said. "Listen Booth, if you ever hurt my daughter, I'll make you disappear." He then released Booth and spoke as if nothing had happened " But other than that" He said cheerfully "I'm really happy for you and Temperance"
Booth didn't know how to react. So he just said "You have nothing to worry about Max". What else could he say. He asked himself.
As they left, he told himself it was now his turn. He dialled the number. Secretly hoping that she wouldn't answer. "Hi mum, I have some news for you" he took a deep breath and prepared himself for a lecture "My girlfriend is pregnant" He then held the phone away from his ear. Brennan could hear shouting. Which didn't sound too promising. "Yes I know its soon, but in my defence I have known her for 3 nearly 4 years" The use of the word defence made Brennan feel uneasy. " Oh, she is my work partner, I'm sure she can't wait to meet you either" Booth looked at her and smiled. "Okay bye mum, see you soon" He shut his phone and there was silence.
"So" said Brennan trying to break the silence "What did she say"
"She wants to meet up with us. I said we'd meet her tomorrow for dinner at mine"
Next day at Booth's apartment.
"Seeley"
"Mum, how are you? How's dad"
"He's fine, any way where is your girlfriend"
"Mum this is temperance" Brennan felt uneasy. She new how important first impressions were but she had no idea what to say or do.
"Nice to meet you" what an unusual name she said to herself. She looked at this women Seeley was dating. She was tall, Skinny. Typically his type and probably a lawyer too.
"So what job do you do Temperance?" Expecting her to say lawyer but to her shock.
"I'm a forensic anthropologist." Brennan saw the confused look on her face and said "I work with Bones. I identify people and how they died by looking at their bones"
That was unexpected Booth's mother said to herself. My sons finally branching out.
Everything went according to plan. The food was good and she liked it. Which was a very good sign. The talk they had about names. Also went okay. It was just a good job Brennan bit her lip. If only she did that more often. He said to himself. Brennan and Booth had a lot to talk about after she left and of course Brennan couldn't wait to start.
"Okay there is no way I'm calling my child Gertrude if it is a girl" Brennan said
"Obviously we won't but my mum just likes old and unusual names. Which is probably why she chose the names Jared and Seeley. I'm sort of the same. I like unusual names"
As soon as he said that Brennan knew she had battles with him ahead.
