Slight drama filled chapter for you all. Enjoy! :)

Brennan was over at Angela's house for what her best friend called a 'Girls Night'. Currently, she was not on speaking terms with Booth, and she didn't know if she ever would again.

"Sweetie, can you please tell me now what went down between you and Booth? You guys have been so happy for the past like, what? Month now? And suddenly you're not speaking to each other? I need details" Angela asked, turning her attention from the movie to her friend.

"Angela, I really don't want to talk about it right now. I only have to deal with a three more weeks of school before I never have to see him again."Brennan responded, her eyes not moving from the TV.

"Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Never see him again?! Okay, now I really need to know what the hell went down between you two." Angela demanded, pausing the movie while turning towards Temperance.

"Okay, well last week when I was at his house..." Brennan began.

**FLASHBACK**

Brennan was at Booth's house, sitting on the loveseat in his living room. They had been watching The Last Song, per Booth's request, when he announced that he needed to go to the bathroom. He removed his arm from around Brennan, standing up and pausing the movie.

"I'll be right back, okay?" he said, beginning to walk towards the bathroom.

"I'm not going anywhere." she said, grinning over at him.

He hadn't even been in the bathroom ten seconds when Brennan heard his phone vibrate against the coffee table.

"Booth.." she called out, then stopped herself after seeing who the message was from. 'Why is Hannah texting him?' she wondered.

"What Bones?" he called back from the bathroom.

"It's nothing." Temperance responded, picking up his cell phone.

New Message From: Hannah Burley

Cool I guess. That's a good movie. But I've gotta better idea, why don't you ditch your little slut again and we meet up at your lake house and go a couple rounds? ;)

While she was reading the message, Booth was walking back from the bathroom.

"What are you doing?" he asked, seeing her with his phone.

"What;s the big deal? Got something to hide?" Temperance asked angrily.

"What are you talking about?!" he exclaimed, noticing the change in her mood.

"Why don't you ask your blonde fuck buddy?" Temperance yelled, throwing his phone at him, "You know you could've just told me that you didn't want to be with me. I should've known this would be the outcome of this situation." she said angrily, slipping on her shoes.

She opened the front door, ripping it with a yank. She attempted to slam the door but when she didn't hear it slam behind her, she knew Booth was coming after her. She didn't look at him as she opened the door to her silver Mercedes convertible that Mark and Stacey had gotten her after she learned to drive. She was stepping into the drivers seat when she felt his hand on her shoulder,

"Don't touch me. I'm done. Don't touch me." She yelled, turning around to smack him across the face.

"It's not what you think!" he yelled back, becoming angry himself, his face throbbing with pain.

"Oh really?" she screamed.

"No it's not lets talk about this!" he yelled, shutting the door so she couldn't get back into the car.

"What is there to talk about?! I read all that I needed to know. You obviously still have some feelings for Hannah. I'm done dealing with this. Either get the hell over her or pretty soon you're going to start trying to get over me. I can make it so that you will never see this child. And I recommend you make a decision pretty quick, because I'm running out of patience."

"Bones, you and I both know that you would never do that. I am the father of this child, you can't change that." he said, slightly calmer, trying to get his word in.

"Perhaps I wish you weren't the father. Maybe I wish it was someone who would act like their girlfriend is expecting their child. I don't need you to do this with me. Go be with Hannah for all I care." she yelled, shoving him away from the door, opening it and stepping inside.

"Bones! I am not having sex with Hannah! I never have, and never will!" he screamed.

"I don't believe you." she said, beginning to speak normally.

Brennan slammed her car door and started the car. She was able to make it down his driveway and all the way back home home but, when she parked in her driveway, she allowed the tears to flow.

For a half hour after Brennan drove off, Booth just stood in place, stunned. Her words stung him so much he felt physically ill. Those words just gave him the biggest wake-up call of his life. He was going to be a dad. The things he has been doing with the occasional couple beers, late nights out with girls that weren't his girlfriend, smoking every once in a while, needed to stop. Shit, even just the partying he needed to put behind him. He is going to be someone's role model soon, not to just some neighborhood kid, but to his own child.

He didn't know why Hannah had sent that text message. That whole five message conversation consisting of:

Hey Seeley.

Uh hi?

What's up?

Watching a movie with Brennan.

Then that message, was the first conversation between the two of them in a month. He guessed he should have told Brennan that, but they were just so caught up in the moment that he even forgot to mention it.

'How did my life become such a fucking mess so quickly?' he thought, walking inside, sitting down on the couch.

He caught a glance at his phone that Brennan had thrown down on the marble coffee table. Picking it up, he looked at the now cracked screen. He threw it across the room angrily, watching it crack some more. With all the anger and sadness that was now on his mind, he put his knees and began to cry.

**END FLASHBACK**

"Wow, Sweetie. That's...intense." Angela said, feeling bad for her friend, "Now in my opinion, I think that Hannah sent that message on purpose, knowing that you would read it."

"How would she know that I would read it? It's not like she lives nearby and was watching him through the living room window." Brennan asked, rolling her eyes.

"Good point," Angela replied, "but knowing Booth for as long as I have, I don't think that he would cheat on you, but that's just me. People could change I guess."

"Can we watch the movie now?" Brennan asked, turning her eyes back towards the TV.

Angela nodded with a sigh, knowing that the topic had been closed.

One Week Later:

It was the day after high school graduation and Brennan was sitting in the waiting room for her third OB/GYN appointment. She was about thirteen weeks, give or take a few days. Her and Booth hadn't spoken for nearly a month, and it pained her. Severely. Since they'd had their fight about three weeks before school was out, it was difficult avoiding him, but when she saw him sitting next to Hannah at lunch a couple of days after their fight, he was metaphorically 'dead' to her. Though the feeling didn't last very long, she was still upset.

She walked back with the nurse, answering the regular routine questions. She thought her appointments were pretty boring, up until she got to see the baby, and hear it's heartbeat. That made her tear up. Even though her and Booth had been having problems in their relationship, she still loved their baby. And it's father. She would admit, that a first, she believed he had cheated on her, until she was thinking late one night, and a memory sparked itself in her head. She remembered him telling her when they'd had sex in his lake house that, that had been his first time, as was it hers. That's when she realized that he and Angela were right, he wasn't cheating on her.

"I'm going to print off the prints of your ultrasound. How many copies would you like?" her doctor asked, her eyes focused on her laptop.

"Two." Brennan answered.

"Alrighty, I'll be right back." her doctor replied.

Brennan was driving home when she saw him. He was out on an afternoon run, and why he was so far from his house, she didn't know. But she didn't care either, because that meant that she could drop her ultrasound in his mailbox. After, she was going to help Angela, Cam, Maggie, and Genny pack for college.

Never in a million years did Brennan think that she wouldn't be able to go to college with her friends. While Angela was her best friend, Brennan and the other girls had become very close as well. They knew almost as much as Angela knew about Brennan, from her past dealing all the way up to her and Booth's current problems.

She didn't even pull into his driveway. She pulled up to the curb next to his mailbox and placed the ultrasound inside. It hurt that he wasn't helping her through this. Especially after he promised that he'd be there every step of the way. She was nearing her fourth month of pregnancy, and they hadn't spoken since the end of her second month. Though she'd caught him looking at her during school, a lot, but she just couldn't bring herself to talk to him.

She drove away from his house, a flood of emotions hitting her hard. She wanted to cry, scream, and hit something, all at the same time. She sped out down the road to Angela's house, slamming on the breaks hard when she approached the front gate to her neighborhood. She entered in a access code into the keypad, and the gate opened slowly. She drove to the back of the neighborhood where Angela's house was, having to park on the side of the road because all the other girls cars were in the driveway.

She took a moment to compose herself, not wanting her friends to notice that she'd been crying, because it would only raise more questions that she had yet to answer for them.

She walked up to the front door, grabbing the spear key out from underneath their guitar doormat, and let herself inside.

"Is that you Sweetie?" she heard Angela yell from her room.

"Yes." Brennan yelled, beginning to walk up the stairs.

She walked into Angela's room, seeing a wide array of stuff strewn across the room. She saw Genny sitting on a chair taping boxes, Cam on Angela's bed putting things into boxes, Angela in her closet ripping things off the hanger and throwing them into a pile, and Maggie was on the floor sifting through various toiletries.

"I don't know where to start." Brennan laughed, walking into the room.

"Well you can help whoever you want to, Sweetie. How did your appointment go?" Angela asked, momentarily looking up from her clothes.

"It was fine. Same things they always do." Brennan said, sitting down on the carpet in the middle of the room.

"Do you know what it is yet?" Cam asked, placing a red pair of Toms in her box.

"Not yet, they'll be able to tell around my next appointment." Brennan responded, "I can't believe I'm not going to be able to go to college with you guys." she said sadly, laying down on the floor.

"Honey, we're only going to be three hours away." Angela said, stepping out of her closet.

"Only." Brennan said with a small laugh.

The five girls had decided to go to Penn State together to play volleyball, but when Brennan got pregnant, only four of them could go. At the time, Brennan had still been conflicted with choosing between attending Penn State with her friends or attending Northwestern with Booth, but the pregnancy took her out of that debate. She was planning on going to school online after the baby came, so that she could take her time on getting her degree. She didn't know what Booth's college plans were now a days, but at least she knew that some of her friends were remaining in state.

"Don't worry Sweetie, we'll all be there when the baby comes, you're due over holiday break anyways, so we won't have to ditch." Angela said with a wink, returning to her closet.

The girls continued to talk about random stuff, until Maggie asked, "Now you don't have to answer this if you have to but, where do you and Seeley stand right now?"

"I honestly don't know." Brennan said with a sigh.

"When was the last time you talked to him?" Cam asked.

"When we fought." Brennan admitted, looking down at her hands.

"That was like...nearly a month ago wasn't it?" Genny questioned, tearing a piece of masking tape.

"Yes, it was. We're not even together right now, that I know of anyways. I still can't believe I hit him though..." she responded, looking at the ceiling.

"Do you think you guys will ever get back together?" Maggie asked after a few moments of silence.

"In the long run...I hope. Anytime soon...hell to the no."

"Do you want to be back together with him before the baby is born?" Angela asked, "In my opinion, I would wait for him to make the first move. See if he still wants to be the father, he'd contact you."

The girls sat in silence for a moment, before hearing Brennan's phone ring.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Hey, I saw the picture in the mail that you dropped off."

Her heart rate increased when she heard Booth's voice, "Yes, and?" she managed to get out.

"I want to talk. Like soon."

"What is there to talk about?"

"Us, where we stand, our kid, your plans for college, you know, important stuff.

"Okay. Well I'll contact you when I'm available, I'm quite busy the next few days."

"Bones, I...okay. Alright, talk to you later."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Brennan saw all the girls' eyes turn to her, "He wants to talk." she said bluntly, setting down her phone.

"What made him call you all of a sudden?" Cam asked surprised.

"I may have purposely dropped off a copy of my ultrasound in his mailbox on the way here."

"Oh my god did you really?" Angela asked with a small laugh, "That's hilarious. Do you think he's going to try to get back together you?"

"I don't know, maybe." Brennan said.

"Would you say yes if he asked to get back together?" Cam asked, taping her last box closed.

"I don't know. I just, I've sacrificed so much to keep this baby. His baby. When I read that message from Hannah on his phone, I felt like he had all my dreams in his hand, and just crushed them. The feelings I felt after, the pain, was just so much. I don't know if it would be healthy for me to go through something like that again, especially if it happens after the baby is born. If I would've known what he would do to me after I got pregnant, I never would've lost my virginity to him." Brennan said, her voice wavering a little.

About an hour later, she helped her friends load their boxes into their separate cars. Penn State's classes didn't start for another week, but they all needed to go register and decorate their rooms. Watching her friends drive away from her car was hard and a little while after, she started to question herself on if the sacrifices that she has made for this baby, are ultimately worth it.

You know what to do, it's called review. :O)
