"Ten seconds 'til eight" Hodgins said, watching the clock on the wall.
"Why do I get the feeling we're going to be in trouble?" Zack asked, holding the horn.
"We probably are" Said Sweets.
"Five seconds"
"Is he actually going to do this?"
Hodgins grabbed the horn and blew it.
From across the lab, they could hear shocked yells.
"Bingo" Hodgins said, throwing the horn to Zack, who dropped it, causing the liquid inside to splatter all over his bare feet.
"Cold" he gasped, tiptoeing away.
-----
"Good morning ladies, rise and shine, Santa was here!" Hodgins said, shaking Angela.
"Mmph" She said, smacking his hand away.
"Come. On. No one wants to open presents?" Hodgins said, crossing his arms.
"Fine" Rachel said, emerging from her sleeping bag in a sleepy state and heading to the bathroom.
"Come on Ange, I know you want to see what I got you"
"As long as it's-" SHe got cut off by a large yawn.
Hodgins took advantage of the situation and stuffed a piece of cinnamon roll in her mouth.
"Mmmph!!"
He nudged Brennan's sleeping bag with a toe.
"No Brennan, did that mean that she took advantage of the Janitor's closet?"
"She's already awake" Rachel said, already back from the bathroom and changed.
"Well you look nice" Hodgins replied, offering his arm.
"Oh no you don't" Angela said, coming out of her sleeping bag and heading for the showers.
Hodgins winked.
"You know I did that so you would get up" Hodgins yelled.
"Yeah" Angela replied, not looking back.
Hodgins noticed the slightly disappointed look on Rachel's face and offered his arm again.
"You do look really nice"
Rachel flushed slightly, but took his arm, following him up to the dais.
Brennan, Booth, Sweets and Zack were already there, Zack massaging his feet.
"Do you know how cold that liquid is inside that canister you threw me is?" He asked.
"Yeah, yeah, you'll live" Hodgins replied, pouring himself a cup of coffee.
Angela and Cam came up, their eyes widening when they saw the contents of the table.
"How did you get all these?" Angela asked, her jaw dropping.
"I pulled some strings, and some guys dropped 'em off last night" Booth said, puffing up with pride.
"Let's go oldest to youngest" Cam said, picking a present off the pile.
It went Cam, Booth, Brennan, Hodgins, Angela, Sweets, Zack, Rachel.
At last, it was her turn, and Rachel looked down at the small pile of presents in front of her.
"Go ahead" Angela said, holding up her phone to take a picture.
Rachel read the tag of the first one; a larger package from Brennan.
Inside was a copy of her newest book.
"Dr. Brennan, wow. This hasn't even been released yet!"
Rachel hugged Brennan, then set the book aside, her eyes glowing.
From Cam, she got a blue sweater and an Itunes gift card. From Booth; a Star Trek coffee mug, From Angela; Art supplies, From Sweets; a gift card to a book store,
And from Hodgins; A cool T-shirt and another gift card.
"Hey honey, don't you have any presents from family?" Angela said, searching through the wrapping paper in case it fell onto the floor.
"My parents died when I was seven" Rachel said, looking down at her lap.
"Oh sweetie, i'm sorry" Angela said, the guilt visible on her face.
"It's fine" Rachel replied, not looking at her.
"Well, I have an announcement" Brennan said.
"I am going to have a baby"
Everyone's jaw dropped.
"You mean you're pregnant, or your want one?" Angela said, breaking the silence.
"I'm pregnant, I went through the sperm donations last week, and now it's official"
Everyone stared.
Then Rachel stood up quickly, walking down the hall.
Everyone watched her go, then looked back at Brennan.
"I'll go talk to her" Zack said, a panicked look on her face.
They watched him go.
"There is something that i'm missing" Cam said.
