Chapter 7: Everyone Finds Out
The bar is noisy as everyone awaits for Booth and Brennan to arrive. They each order a drink from the bar and are in deep conversation with one another.
Soon everyone stops talking to see Booth holding the door for Brennan and everyone except for Angela, bug their eyes out when they catch a glimpse of Booth and Brennan holding hands.
"Uhh...are Agent Booth and Doctor Brennan holding hands?" Sweets asked, his brow furrowing in utter confusion.
"It's about time." Cam stated, a smile forming on her face.
"Hey you guys...over here!" Hodgins yelled towards them, getting their attention.
Booth and Brennan immediately go to where they are. Letting go of each other's hands to hug their friends.
"Dad?!" Brennan stated, a little surprized.
"I thought it would be good if Max was also here to hear the good news." Angela explained, after getting a look from Brennan.
"What did you guys want to tell me...besides the fact that you guys are now together?" Max asked, a smile forming on his face.
"How did you...?" Booth trailed off, staring at Max with a confused look on his face.
They had tried to keep the fact that they were finally together a secret from everyone they knew, how Max initially discovered upon the fact that they were indeed sleeping with each other totally escaped Booth.
"Come on...I had been studying you two for a while now...and ever since that undercover bowling alley case...I had noticed how you two were super nice to each other. I thought:'What's going on with these two? They would usually be bickering by now.' Then something clicked in my brain and upon seeing how happy you two were...that was when I realized that something had finally turned around for the best sometime ago...now am I correct by assuming that?" Max stated.
"Dad...Booth and I are together now." Brennan annouced.
"So that was why Dr. Brennan's office was so loud a couple of months ago..." Hodgins stated, receiving a death glare from Angela.
"Hodgins!" Angela screeched, smacking the back of his head.
"OW!"
"Sorry Max...you weren't supposed to hear that." Angela said, sending an apologetic look Max's way.
"It's okay Ange...at some point a father has to accept that his baby girl isn't a baby anymore." Towards Brennan. " Just know Tempe...no matter how old you may get...you'll still be my little girl."
"Oh dad, be careful or you might make my hormones act up." Brennan stated, happy tears threatening to spill from her eyes.
"Okay everyone, they also have something else that they would like to annouce." Angela stated, excitedly.
"Everyone...I am pregnant and Booth's the father." Brennan annouced, taking her jacket off to reveal a slight baby bump forming.
Brennan is soon greeted with hugs from everyone including her father. Everyone looks at Booth and Brennan in amazememt. Soon all of them begin to congratulate them one by one.
"Congrats Dr. B!" Hodgins stated.
"I can hardly believe that you're pregnant. I mean, just two years ago you wanted so badly to have Booth's baby that you almost used his sperm. If it hadn't been for Booth being diagnosed with a benign tumor, you probably would have done it." Cam stated in shock.
"Thank you Dr. Hodgins, and Cam the crave to have his baby never really went away after he survived from the surgery." Brennan stated, stroking the baby bump.
"How...how did this happen...or actually when did this happen?" Sweets asked, at a loss of words.
"The night that Vincent died...at my appartment." Booth stated, after taking a deep breath.
"You stayed at his appartment?!?" Hodgins, Sweets, and Cam all state at once.
"Yes...he insisted...and I was too overwhelmed by the day's events that I didn't have the strength to argue so...I agreed." Brennan explained.
"Then one thing led to another and...then a few weeks later...Bones told me that she was having my baby." Booth stated, putting his hand over her hand on her stomach.
Brennan smiles warmly as she starts to feel butterfly like whispers along her stomach.
"Oh god...I think the baby just kicked." Brennan stated. To Max. "Dad, do you want to feel the baby kick?"
"Of course...honey." Max replied, as Brennan guided his hand to her stomach.
"Bones, did the baby just start kicking?" Booth asked, placing his hand along the slight curve of the baby bump.
She nods against his chest.
"The little one just might become a soccer player one day, it's kicking up a storm right now." Booth joked.
"Do you know what your having?" Max asked.
"No, but we are going to find out later next week." Brennan stated.
"Keep me posted."
"Will do."
