Set around late January 2017.
Brennan was trying to get a pair of slacks on but for some reason the button wouldn't do up and she was getting more and more irritated.
"Are you okay Bones?" Booth asked fixing his shirt.
"No, these damn slacks won't button up and I need to be in work in an hour during which I have to drop the Katy at school and take Izzie to the Early Learning Centre." Brennan said exasperatedly.
"Look, Parker can drop Katy off since the school is on the same route and he walks to school anyway. God knows why. I might get him a car for his birthday."
"How could I have gained weight? I've always had a nutritious and healthy diet."
"Really? So ordering pizza last night was part of your nutritious and healthy diet?"
"Don't patronise me Booth, I was tired and neither of us could be bothered to cook. And besides, it is a lot better than your diet that consists of red meats, sugar and caffeine."
"I do apologise. Look maybe it is just one of those things that happen."
"Or maybe it's a sign I'm getting old."
"You are not getting old because it means I am as well."
"I'm sorry, I'm just getting frustrated that nothing has happened yet."
"Well, we're going to keep trying until we get a baby."
"Maybe we should quit for a while I mean for the last few months we have been try-"Brennan stopped a moment. 'We've had eight weeks of uninterrupted sex.'
"What?"
"I think it may have happened."
"What you think you're-"
"Yes I think I'm pregnant. How could I have not noticed that I haven't had a period yet?"
"Well a lot of work has happened over the last few months so you've had a lot of distractions that you don't really notice the regular things."
"I have a pregnancy test in my office, I'll take it at lunch and I'll call you."

Brennan sat in her chair trying to work out the dates in which the baby (if there was one) could have been conceived. 'Right so we started trying in August and I got my period the first month. Then I got my period the second month and then I didn't get one last month. So it is possible that we conceived around late November.'
Brennan grabbed the test from her draw and walked to the women's toilet and took the test. A couple of minutes later she walked back into her office and sat on her couch holding the test upside down. When it was time to look at the result she flipped it over and was disappointed. It only had one line. No baby. She picked up her phone and called Booth. "Hey I took the test. It was negative… I don't know Booth. Maybe it may just be stress that has made me miss my period and has caused the slight weight gain… don't worry Booth; we can try again in a couple of weeks."

Later Brennan was sitting on the bed looking at the negative test. "Hey Babe." Booth said entering the bedroom.
"Hey Booth." she murmured.
"You really are disappointed about the test?"
"Yes Booth. I really wanted to be pregnant but I just got my hopes up."
"Can I look at the test?" Brennan gave him the test and he looked at it. "How many tests have you done?"
"Just the one."
"Maybe we should do another just to double check."
"Why Booth? If this test was negative, the other test is most likely to be negative as well. Where are you going?" she asked as Booth got off the bed.
"To the store to get a test. If there is a chance-even a small chance- that you may be pregnant then I'm willing to risk it."
"Fine just hurry up."

Brennan paced up and down the room tapping her fingers. "Bones calm down. Give it a minute and I'll tell you." said Booth sitting on the bed.
"I will I'm just nervous." Brennan responded.
"We've been through this twice, don't be nervous."
"I know. I just… Booth, I'm worried that, should the test be positive, I won't be able to carry to full term. I think my uterine rupture won't make it past 30 weeks gestation."
"Don't worry about it. I mean we've handled a premature baby before and Izzie, while she is still a little small for her age, is healthy."
"What about me?"
"Look, if it does rupture, they may be able to fix it. But can we not get ahead of ourselves." Booth looked at his watch and flipped over the test. "Right, this one has two lines."
"What?"
"This test has two lines."
"Which means that the first one was a false negative?"
"Yes, Bones you're having a baby."
"No, we're having a baby." Brennan smiled and walked over to Booth before sitting on his lap. "We finally did it." she whispered.
I'm not entirely certain but I'm sure you gain a few pounds during the first trimester that may not show off completely but makes it difficult to do a zip dress or a pair of jeans up. Also I have really bad concerns about Booth's diet. I just needed Brennan to point I out and it may be interesting to see if Booth can go veggie for a day. Oh and the baby is Harry so Brennan is possibly two months pregnant since Harry is born in early August 2017 and it seemed to add up in my head.
