Angela waits outside the door of the bathroom. She knocks gently. Temperance's hand appears from behind the door. She holds the plastic stick out.

"I can't look," she tells Angela.

Angela takes the stick from her. "You can come out," she tells her.

Temperance steps out of the bathroom.

"Congratulations you're..."

"Don't say it," Temperance's head drops.

"Not pregnant," Angela finishes.

"You're sure?"

"Absolutely."

Temperance hugs Angela. "What was that for?" Angela questions.

"Telling me what I wanted to hear."

"I'm just telling you what is, not what you want to hear."

"Ok. I can live with that."

"You need to make this work."

"Why?"

"Bren talk to him. You can't shut him out."

"I did talk to him."

"Go find him."

"Ok," she agrees.

She leaves the Jeffersonian and drives across town. She doesn't stop the car until she reaches Booth's. She knocks on the door. After several moments he opens the door. She doesn't say a word. She enters the apartment and wraps her arms around him.

"Are you ok?"

"I need you," she admits.

"I know."

"I need you know," she elaborates.

"Ok," he agrees.

She sheds her jacket, and he tosses it aside. He pulls her closer to him until his lips meet hers. Her hand presses against his chest. He stops and looks into her sad blue eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"How are we going to do this?"

"Do what?"

"Us, with everything else."

"I don't know," he admits.

"I love you but... I'm jealous of her."

"I know."

"She shouldn't be..."

"I know, but she is. We can't change that."

"I know. I just wish that things were different."

"Temperance what do you want me to do? Just tell me what I can do to make this better."

She pauses for a moment and then answers, "Marry me."

He stares at her in complete disbelief, "What did you just say?"

"Marry me."

"You don't..."

"I need to know that you're not going anywhere."

"You have my word. Have I ever gone back on my word?"

"No, but you're a man of principle and..."

"If you want me to marry you, then I will."

"You will?"

"Temperance all I've ever wanted is you."

"But you're having a baby with her."

"We'll figure it out."

"Now," she answers.

"How?"

"Is she going to let you be in the baby's life after it's born?"

"Of course."

"You don't think that she's going to try and keep it from you like Rebecca does with Parker?"

"No."

"But what if she does?"

"I'll fight for my child."

"What if she takes it."

"Takes it?"

"What if she left. Would you go after her?"

"No, but I wouldn't let her take my child. You don't really want to get married do you? You're just scared that you're going to lose me. Temperance you're not going to lose me. I'm not going anywhere."

That night they talk for hours. They end up falling asleep on the couch. Temperance finds herself alone with Cam when she arrives at the Jeffersonian the next morning. They stand on the platform quietly examining remains.

"How is Michelle doing?"

"Fine," Cam answers.

"How are you doing?"

Cam stops dead in her tracks. She looks up from what she's doing. She stares at Temperance for several moments. "Are you asking because you want to know, or because you're trying to make small talk?"

"Do I make small talk?" Temperance answers.

"I'm doing ok."

"Are you still feeling sick?"

"Only on rare occasions."

"How did your doctor's appointment go?"

"Ok."

"You don't sound convinced."

"It was fine. Everything is normal..."

"But?"

"I found out the sex of the baby, and I don't know if Booth wants to know."

"Oh."

"Do you want to know?"

"If you want me to know. Does anyone else know?"

"No I haven't told anyone yet."

"You haven't told Michelle?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"I don't know. I guess I feel like now that I've found out there's no denying that it's real."

"Was there before?"

"No, but it was a little surreal. Now I know what it is and..."

"Are you afraid to tell people?"

"I don't know. It's almost as if by telling people then it's a person, and I can't go back."

"I thought you already decided that you couldn't anyway."

"I did..."

"But?"

"I'm having a baby whose father is in love with another woman."

"A baby..."

Cam looks around the room. When she sees that there is no one else around she answers, "A boy. I'm having a son."

"A boy. Just what we need around here, another boy."

"That's what I thought."
