Angela was in a back table of the diner when Booth arrived. Booth sat down across from her. She noticed he looked haggard; things had not been easy on him. She felt bad that she was part of that and should have known better when this all happened.

"So Angela, what did you need to see me about?"

"Booth none of us know why Bren left or didn't until today. I think I know."

"What is it?"

"Hannah."

Booth face turned angry, "What do you mean?"

"When I talked to Brennan today she said she left because you and Hannah were back together. She said you snuck into the pond to retrieve her engagement ring and proposed to her again."

Booth looked at the table uncomfortably. "Ange, I was so drunk when all that happened I might have, I don't know. I know the day after Bones left I woke up to a very naked Hannah next to me; she said well…you know."

"Don't you get it Booth; Hannah talked to Brennan before Brennan left. Bren thought you had proposed to Hannah before she disappeared."

Booth's head snapped up as he starred at Angela. "Booth, I think Bren had a baby too."

"Wh…why do you think that?"

"Seriously I am going to have to explain this to you?"

"I don't know what you mean."

"Let's just say there are a couple of signs that Bren has that leads me to believe she has had a baby."

Booth just stared at Angela trying to decipher if he should tell her or not. Finally deciding he probably was going to need help and he trusted her. He reached into his inside coat pocket and pulled out the ultra sound picture. "She left this when she vanished. I don't think she knows she left it behind."

Angela's eyes got wide, "so I was right."

"Seems so, now what do we do?"


As Brennan was laying back in the tub her mind wandered to that day when Hannah Burley came to see her. She was looking over one of her interns work when Hannah walked in "Hello Temperance"

Brennan turned around "Hello Hannah, you are back from Afghanistan?"

"Yes, I did a lot of thinking while I was there and realized there is where I belong with Seeley. Oh, Temperance I tried to put him out of my mind but it just didn't work. I arrived back last night and I still had the key to his apartment and I thought I would surprise him." She had a dreamy look on her face as she leaned across Brennan's desk. "Anyway after he left for a bit and came back with the engagement ring he had thrown in the pond." She held out her hand with a beautiful engagement ring sparkling on her finger. "He asked me to marry him and I said yes. So, now the reason I am here is because I want you to be my maid of honor?"

Brennan had lost her ability to breathe or form rational thoughts as she stared at Hannah beaming in front of her. Had Booth forgot what they shared? Had he forgot she was pregnant with his child? She had not seen him in a few days, was he avoiding her, not sure how to tell her he was back with Hannah?

"I am happy for you. I am sorry I can't be your maid of honor; I am leaving on a dig here in a week. But, congratulations and if you will excuse me I need to go…I have some work I need to attend to." Brennan exited her office and fled the building as fast as she could. Hannah watched Brennan go with a smug smile on her face.

Brennan sat in the tub; the pain that visit caused was almost as painful now as it was then. She thought about Booth coming into her office 2 days later, when she told him she wasn't pregnant that is was a false positive. She only had stolen one glance at him and she thought she saw disappointment on his face, but she had to be mistaken since he was back with Hannah. She only had to make it 3 more days and then she would be gone. She had asked Cam to please not say anything until she was gone; she didn't feel she could deal with all the questions.

On her finally day she had walked out of the Jeffersonian, she had left all her key cards and keys on her desk. She drove home, grabbed the bag she had packed the night before, left the note she knew Booth would find and called a cab. As she closed her apartment door for the last time she cried as she closed that chapter of her life.
