It was 6 PM and Brennan's phone began to ring. It was Booth! Angela was right he would call her. Of course Brennan was waiting with her phone on her lap since she departed from Angela, but so what? Brennan tried to make it casual so she waited until her phone rang three more times then she will pick it up.
On the final ring, Brennan picked up the phone, "Hello?"
"Bones! I didn't think you would answer you got me nervous for a second!"
"Yeah Booth I am here, I—was in the shower, yes I was in the shower!" Completely lying through her teeth, Brennan was hoping Booth wasn't right outside her door because she was far from freshly showered.
"Great Bones! So, I have a surprise for you."
"Oh, a surprise?"
"Yes, a surprise. I was hoping to pick you up in an hour. Is that okay?
"Yes, that is fine but where are we going?"
"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you, Bones. Just put your best and most beautiful dress on and I will pick you up in exactly one hour."
Brennan was alarmed, and immediately started to take off her clothes to quickly get into the shower. She put Booth on speaker phone, and went into the bathroom to turn the shower on.
Brennan was shouting so Booth could hear her all the way in her bathroom, "Okay Booth! I will see you in and hour! Okay, Bye!"
Booth was confused; he hoped everything will go as planned for tonight.
Brennan furiously took a shower and began getting dressed. Not until then did Brennan notice that her body was changing. Her breasts have become fuller and her stomach was developing this faint little bump. Not that anyone could notice that she was pregnant, it was still early. But she could notice her body and her life were changing.
When Brennan was just putting the finishing touches on her makeup she heard a knock at her door. It was Booth, of course.
She opens the door swiftly, and smiles at Booth. "Booth, please do come inside." Booth had a dozen roses in his hand.
"Bones, you look absolutely gorgeous, but your surprise awaits you."
"Booth, can you please tell me where we are going I do not want to over-dress."
"Bones, darling, you look stunning. Please, come on we have an eventful night ahead of us."
"Okay Booth"
Brennan looked absolutely stunning; she was wearing a red cocktail dress accented with red lace on the front and on the back of her dress. The dress was accessorized with black strappy heels and black flowered earrings. Booth was wearing a black and white suit with a red tie. Their outfits complimented each other perfectly.
"These roses are yours."
"Oh Booth how beautiful, thank you"
"Now Bone's, close your eyes and I will guide you to your first surprise."
"How am I supposed to close my eyes? I won't know where I am going!" Brennan giggles
"Bones trust me"
"Okay" she says trustingly
Booth and Brennan proceed to leave Brennan's apartment building. Brennan has her eyes closed and Booth is holding her hand leading the way. When they reach the outside of Brennan's apartment building, there is a stretch limo waiting to escort Booth and Brennan to their next destination.
"Bones, here we are, open your eyes."
Brennan opens her eye's, and smiles and laughs. She couldn't help but kiss Booth right on the cheek.
"Booth" she giggles "this is amazing"
"I knew you would like it, Bones."
Like a true gentleman, Booth opens the limo door for Brennan. Waiting inside the limo is a bottle of sparkling cider.
Brennan smiles at Booth and says, "Booth, you didn't have to do this"
"But I had to, you and I have been through a lot these last couple of weeks we both deserve a night on the town, together."
"Oh, well how romantic of you" Brennan stares at his big brown eyes and gives him a peck on the lips.
"It is the least that I can do"
Booth and Brennan arrive at the finest Italian Restaurant in DC. When they arrive inside the restaurant, the hostess of the restaurant sends them to the nicest table in the entire place. Their orders and another bottle of sparkling cider awaited them.
"Booth, how did you remember my favorite Italian dish?" As Brennan sticks her fork into her scrumptious eggplant parmesan
"I just remember everything about you, Bones"
"Oh really?"
"Yeah really, test me if you want!"
"No, Booth I believe you." Brennan giggles
"So Bone's how are you feeling? We didn't get to talk a lot last night if you know what I mean."
"I am fine Booth; my morning sickness actually just disappeared this morning. I have had morning sickness every day, except today. Hmm—odd"
Booth started getting worried, "Well if you have it, tomorrow, or the next day, just give me a holler, Bones! I don't want you to have any discomfort."
"Booth it is fine the majority of pregnant women have morning sickness with in their first trimester."
"Well according to this pregnancy app on my phone, you will be out of the first trimester in two weeks."
"That's right, I am eleven weeks today."
"According to this app, at eleven weeks our baby is at the size of a fig!"
"Did you also know that our baby is moving and stretching, Booth? I can't feel thoselittle movements yet, but soon enough we can feel it move." Brennan says with a smile.
"Well I should get a better app because it did not tell me that!" Booth starts to laugh, Brennan does too his app humor was really getting to her.
"But uh, Bones, when do you think we should start telling people?"
"Booth, I thought everyone at the Jeffersonian knew already."
"Not exactly, Bones. I only told Angela"
"What do you mean, not exactly? Everyone was at the hospital when I had the operation."
"Well, I told them that it was appendicitis, not that you were miscarrying."
"Booth, why would you do that?"
"Because I wanted to protect you, protect us."
"Well that is understandable, now I just have to explain a few things to them."
"What types of things?" Booth laughs
"Well, the nose plug, the vomiting, or turning down an opportunity of going to the bar."
Booth lets out this big laugh, "A nose plug, what would a nose plug exactly do?"
"It blocks the smell Booth! I don't know if you notice but dead bodies smell!"
"I'm sorry, Bones! It's just funny!"
They had a wonderful talk the both of them, Brennan didn't even bother mentioning the events that happened earlier this afternoon. But they finished their dinner, and the waitress brought out four giant chocolate strawberries.
"Booth, this is too much. I can't eat all of this I am going to get sick."
"You don't have to, Bones. We can take them home if you want. But listen—" Booth grabs Brennan's hand. "There's something that I have wanted to get off of my chest for a while now. I am sorry if I looked like a complete and total idiot this morning but-. Bones, I love you. I have wanted to say that for the longest time now. From the moment I met you, I knew you were the one. I love you. When we were apart for those two weeks I waited outside of your apartment debating on going inside to just see you. Bone's I love you; and I cannot picture living my life or growing old together without you in it."
Brennan smiles, stands up, and kisses Booth "Booth, I love you too."
"I know" Booth says grimly
"Let's get out of here"
Booth and Brennan decided to walk back to Brennan's apartment instead of taking the limo. They decided to enjoy the lovely night's weather. But after dinner, Brennan wasn't feeling well.
"Booth, can we stop at a drug store?"
Booth was alarmed, "Why is something wrong?"
"I'm fine Booth I just have a little indigestion. Women tend to get indigestion in their first trimester because our bodies are going through a change."
"Okay, Bones, I will pick up something after we get to your apartment"
"Thanks Booth"
As soon as Booth walked Brennan back to her apartment, he drove to the nearest drug store. He picked out five different anti-acids and brought home three two liter bottles of seltzer. He did not want his Bones to be uncomfortable in any way. So he got there and back to her apartment in about eight minutes flat.
Brennan opened the door and saw all the bags booth was carrying, she couldn't help but laugh. "Booth all I needed was some anti-acids"
"Well Bones, you have come to the right man, I have five different anti-acids. Tums tropical flavored, Tums smoothies, Tums Ultra 1000, Tums Extra Strength, and Pepto Bismol all these wonderful anti-acids are for you."
Brennan just starts laughing at Booth, "Booth, I just have some indigestion I am not dying."
"No Bones, I told you I don't want you in pain. I want to help as much as possible. Now, which anti-acid do you want?"
"You choose, Booth"
"Tums tropical flavor it is then!" Booth hands her a cup of seltzer and two tums
"Thank you, Booth. And thank you for this wonderful night."
"You're welcome, Bones. Goodnight!" Booth proceeds to kiss Brennan and leave.
"Uh, Booth, wait"
"Yes?"
"Come here!"
"Why?"
"Just come here Booth!"
"Okay" Booth proceeds to walk back to Brennan
"Closer"
Booth moves closer to Brennan, and Brennan starts to kiss him.
"Bones, what are you doing?"
"Why would you think you weren't going to get lucky?"
"Because we did it all last night"
"Come on Booth, we can do it right here."
"No, Bones we can cuddle and fall asleep together but I am not going to sleep with you."
She agrees, knowing that she will convince him otherwise.
