Chapter Ten: Coming Home

"We're home!" Booth announced, as he opened the door to their apartment, Brennan's overnight bag slung over his shoulder and the diaper bag in his other hand.

Brennan came in after the, carrying Mila in her car seat. The baby girl was sound asleep, cuddling a tiny stuffed puppy.

Brennan smiled adoringly at the little girl as she placed the car seat on the floor and leaned down to take Mila out. The baby immediately snuggled into her chest and Brennan's eyes widened as such a large wave of love washed over her.

Booth watched this with a smile and came over to her, kissing Brennan's cheek and then his daughter's head. "Come with me, Bones. I have a surprise for you and Mila."

Brennan nodded and followed Booth to the nursery, which she hadn't seen in over a week and gasped when he opened the door.

"Booth..." she breathed as she looked around the room at the crib, changing table, and rocking chair, all set up in different corners of the room. But what she was really looking at was the walls. They were painted a bright purple and had butterflies, daisies and fluffy pink clouds painted on them to look like they'd been drawn by crayon. "How...?"

Booth grinned. "Angela came in while you were in the hospital. She and Cam painted the room purple, then worked for about two days making the little drawings, before they set up everything in the nursery. They even left you a couple of gifts." Booth walked over to a small dresser, painted white with daffodils on it, and pulled out a couple onesies. He brought them back to Brennan to show her.

"This one," he said showing her a little pink number that said, 'Daddy's Princess', "Is from Cam, of course."

Brennan smiled. "I like that one." She said.

Booth grinned. "I think you'll like Angela's even more." He showed her a little purple number that said, 'My Daddy has a gun...So don't mess with me!'

Brennan laughed. "I do like this one. She got me another one that she said she got a couple years ago when I wanted to use your sperm."

Booth blushed. "Bones, please! Not in front of Mila!"

Brennan laughed. "You're such a prude. Anyway, the onesy is yellow and it said, 'Brains or brawns? I'm both!' I found it quite humorous."

Booth smiled. "It's true, too. If she's anything like her Mommy, she's gonna be one tough little girl." Brennan grinned and leaned up to kiss him.

At that moment, Mila began to whine. Brennan smiled down at her. "I think she may be a bit hungry." She said, trying to calm the baby as she walked over and took a seat in the rocking chair. It took her only a moment to set the baby up to feed and soon she was rocking gently as Mila nursed.

Booth watched in awe as Brennan took so well to the routine of mothering. "You're so beautiful." He commented, softly.

Brennan blushed, smiling. "Thank you, Booth. You're not too bad looking yourself." She smiled slyly.

Booth groaned. "Bo-ones! Please don't do that! It only serves to remind me that I can't have you for at least three more weeks!"

Brennan smiled. "You'll always have me, Booth." She said, smiling.

Booth grinned back. "Stay right there, I may have another surprise for you." He said, running out.

He was back in a few moments with the rolled up newspaper in his hand. Brennan gave him a quizzical look.

Booth grinned and opened the paper to a specific section, showing it to her. "Here. Look." Booth said.

A small smiled began to spread on Brennan's face as she noticed what was written on that page.

'Special Agent Seeley Booth of the FBI and Dr. Temperance Brennan of the Jeffersonian Institute, and also the author of many bestselling books, welcomed a new addition into their small family. A daughter named Milena Joy Angelina Booth was born just five minutes after midnight on February 24th, 2012. This is the first child for the couple. Hopefully the first of many to come.'

Brennan felt her eyes fill with tears. "When did you do this?" she asked.

"I called it in about an hour after Mila was born. I wanted the whole world to know about the life we created together." Booth said, grinning.

Brennan smiled and leaned up to kiss the love of her life. "I love you so much, Booth."

Booth smiled into the kiss. "I love you, too, Bones. You two, Mila!" Booth said, kissing his daughter's head.

Mila sneezed and Booth grimaced as she had sneezed on his face, while Brennan giggled, pulling her shirt down and cuddling Mila to her chest. Mila's eyes immediately shut as she began to drift off.

"What's a good song?" Brennan asked.

"What?" Booth asked, wiping his face off.

"For Mila. To sing to her. What would be a good song?" Brennan explained.

Booth thought a second, then smiled and began to sing (off-key).

"Isn't she lovely?

Isn't she wonderful?"

Brennan smiled. "I know that one." She began to sing.

"Isn't she precious?

Less than one minute old.

I never thought through love we'd be

Making one as lovely as she

But isn't she lovely, made from love?"

Booth smiled, enjoying her beautifully husky singing voice. He'd always loved her voice, but rarely heard her sing since he got shot back a few years ago in the Checkerbox. But now, she was singing to their daughter, and her voice was so rich and beautiful. He hoped Mila inherited this talent.

"Isn't she pretty?

Truly the angel's best

Boy, I'm so happy

We have been Heaven blessed

I can't believe what God has done

Through us, he's given life to one

But isn't she lovely, made from love?"

Brennan watched her daughter's even breathing as she sang. She had only had this baby girl for a few days but already she knew she'd be willing to give her life for her. She'd be willing to take a life for this little girl in her arms. She was so perfect...

"I love you, Mila." Brennan whispered to her sleeping child. Mila turned more into her chest and grasped Brennan's shirt in her tiny fist.

Booth smiled at her. "She loves you, too, Bones. You're a wonderful mother."

Brennan smiled back at him. "Thank you so much Booth. Not for just saying that but for her, for Mila."

Booth smiled and kissed her forehead. "My pleasure, Bones." He said, smiling.
