One year later:
Booth closed the door; Angela had just picked up Patrick for the day Brennan needed to write in quiet. After Patrick was gone Booth went to get some snacks and head down to his 'man cave' to watch hockey, but before he did that he went to check on Brennan, something seemed different with her today. Booth found Brennan in their room, not in her office. "Bones, are you okay?"
"Yeah, come here I need to tell you something."
Booth sat on the bed and put his arm around Brennan's shoulders, she leaned into him bit. "I'm pregnant; I've suspected that I am for a few days now that's why I had Ange take Patrick today. I wanted to take the test and tell you without a toddler running amok in the house."
"This is great Bones!" Booth kissed Brennan.
"I hope it goes better this time."
"I'll be here if that's what you mean, I'm not going anywhere."
"I know but that's not what I mean, when Patrick was 4 days old he went back into the hospital because he wouldn't eat, every time he did it would come back up."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't want to worry you, all I had to do was put him on predigested formula. Patrick was only in the hospital for a day and a half. By the time you came home his digestion had improved. I just don't want to go through that again, it was scary and hard to see Patrick get sick after feeding and not know what was wrong with him or what to do to make it better." Booth didn't know what to say, he just rubbed Brennan's shoulders.
"For the next three months I monitored everything he ate and I panicked every time he spit up, at four months he started grow out of it. A week or so before you came home; I was able to put him on regular formula and eventually regular milk. That's one reason I don't like to leave him; I'm afraid he'll get some new digestive issue. Now we have to convince him to let you move his big boy bed into his room and move the crib back to the nursery."
"We do, but not now, let's tell about the baby and let him get use to that then let him switch rooms."
"Okay, I love you."
"I love you too, Bones. I guess I'll leave you alone so you can write."
"I'm not writing today, I just sad that so Angela had a reason to take Patrick."
"Oh what do you want to do?"
"Snuggle on the couch in the 'man cave' and maybe take a nap while you watch hockey?"
"Sounds good to me." Booth led Brennan to the kitchen, stopping to get some popcorn.
It was four and a half months later and Booth and Brennan had told Patrick about the baby, he took it well. Patrick didn't really understand, but every once and while he'd put a hand on Brennan's stomach and say, "Baby." Today was the day Brennan was going to tell Patrick that he had to switch rooms. Brennan was sitting on the couch watching Patrick play with blocks."Patrick, come here I need to tell you something."
Patrick came over to the couch and climbed up next to Brennan, laying his head on her chest.
Brennan ran a hand through his hair, "Sweetie, you know the baby will be here soon, right?"
Patrick nodded, "Well, the baby needs to be close to daddy and I, especially at night so we thought it would be a good idea if daddy moved your big boy bed into your room and the crib back into the nursery. That way you'll be closer to the playroom and the baby will be closer to daddy and me."
"Now?"
"Do you want Daddy to move your bed now?"
Patrick nodded again.
"Okay, you can go back to playing."
Patrick slid to the floor as Brennan sent Booth a text, five minutes later he came up stairs and began moving beds. That night Patrick went to bed in his room without a problem, Brennan wasn't so lucky.
"Bones, you should really be sleeping."
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"What if Patrick needs something or gets scared and we don't hear him?'
'Bones, we're not that far away, we'll hear him." Booth kissed Brennan's cheek."Will you be able to sleep if I go set up the baby monitor, so you can hear him?"
"Yes."
Booth smiled and got up returning a minute later with the receiver, he turned it on and Patrick's little snores filled the bedroom, Brennan smiled, "thank you."
"You're welcome, now get some sleep."Booth kissed Brennan.
