Thank you everyone for your wonderful reaction to a baby girl for BB.

Here's more BB fluff.

Booth

"More?"

"You bet. You're sure good at this man," Hodgins laughs.

"If I ever get fired, I can always flip burgers for a living." I add, quirking a smile.

The squint laughs and goes off in search of, I'm sure Angela. We're having our house-warming party, and so far so good. Nobody's picked a fight with anyone else, nothing's broken and nobody's spilt anything, and none of my FBI friends got drunk.

Bones comes up to me looking more pregnant than I remember she did yesterday. Another three months, I tell myself and we'll meet our brand new daughter. The thought makes me all excited.

"Enjoying yourself?"

"Yes, I had thought this would be a bad idea, but I was wrong." She hands me a cold beer.

"This is getting to be quite a common occurrence isn't it Bones?"

"You shouldn't get used to it."

I take a swig out of the bottle of beer before setting it down on the table by my side.

The weather's turning cold. I notice Bones shiver slightly. I instinctively reach to pull Bones' coat tighter round her, if that's possible given her pregnant belly. She catches my hand as it falls from her shoulders, smiling. Our eyes lock and we share one of our moments just lost in each others' eyes.

Parker chooses this moment to breeze past, doing his best impression of an astronaut in his rocket, in his own words, blasting off into outer space.

He knocks one of the legs of our flimsy fold-up table over and the table tilts precariously to one side. The contents of the table, uncooked burger patties, paper plates and burger buns slide to the side threatening to fall off the table. My quick reflexes kick in and I catch the side of the table, saving the food both cooked and uncooked from crashing to the floor.

I don't manage to save my beer however and it rolls off the side, dropping to the grass at my feet, but not before splashing a generous amount onto my jeans, strategically leaving a wet patch over my groin.

I groan to myself, I had just washed this particular pair of jeans. Bones moves quickly to my side, surprisingly quick for a six-month pregnant woman. She helps slide the plates to the center of the table where they should be.

Angela happens past, eyeing the wet patch on my jeans with a wide grin. She saunters up to us.

"Am I interrupting something?"

"Angela! It's not… the beer spilt – "

"Uh-huh sure Booth. Bedroom's just upstairs you know."

I roll my eyes as Bones laughs.

"Maybe tonight, right Seeley?"

I open my mouth to reply but am interrupted by Parker. "Daddy, Uncle Jared's here."

"You had better get changed into something dry Booth. You don't want to go meet your mom with a wet patch over there." Angela winks.

I take a breath and am suddenly nervous again. This would be the first time Parker is meeting my mother. I feel Bones slip her hand in to mine.

"Go get changed."

Five minutes later and in a clean pair of jeans I take Parker by the hand, leading him to meet his grandmother for the first time.

Mom looks like she did when we left her in Philly months ago. I move to hug her, as Parker hangs on to Bones' hand.

"Mom, how've you been?"

"I've been good. I kept myself busy, with church, catching up with old friends."

"That's good to know Mom."

"Hey Parker." Jared ruffles Parker's hair.

"Hi Uncle Jared." Parker is shy all of a sudden.

"Temperance, so nice to see you again, you've gotten big."

"Jackie, it's nice to see you too."

"I heard I'm having a granddaughter?"

"Yeah Mom, isn't that great? But what's better," I reach behind me for Parker, gently placing my hand on his back. "is that you get to meet your grandson now."

I gently guide Parker forward. Parker's never shy, his personality's a lot like mine, but on this occasion he doesn't seem to be too friendly.

"Hey Parker, say hi to grandma."

Mom bends to look Parker in the eye.

"Hi Parker, I've heard so much about you, and now we finally get to meet."

"Are you really my grandma?"

"Yes Parker, I'm your Dad's mother."

"Daddy told me you were dead."

"Parker!" I hiss at him.

"That's the truth, Bones says I should always tell the truth."

"Bones is right." I concede.

"It's ok Parker," Mom touches him on the cheek. "I said some nasty things that made your Dad angry at me, things I shouldn't have said. I made a mistake. But so did your Dad in telling you that I was dead."

"I'm sorry I lied to you Parker, about your grandma."

"So you're really my grandmother?"

"Yes. And you look a lot like your father when he was your age."

"Parker, why don't you show grandma and Uncle Jared your new room?" Bones suggests.

"Wanna seem my room? I've got Spiderman sheets on my bed!"

"Sure."

Parker grins taking Mom's hand and I know everything's going to work out.

That night after everyone has gone and I've tucked Parker in bed, I lie with Bones in my arms, spooning. She's in the shirt she always sleeps in, one of my old college shirts, with a hole somewhere, one that's usually too big for her. It's now stretched at her tummy to accommodate our growing baby inside. My hand draped over her, resting on her swollen belly. I love being under the covers with her, warm and snug.

"Was a good party wasn't it?"

"Yes."

"Wasn't so bad was it, your Mom coming to meet Parker for the first time?"

"Yeah.I think Parker likes her."

Bones turns in my arms. "We haven't got a name for our daughter yet."

"Working on it Bones."

"And the nursery, it's not ready yet."

"We've got another three months. You and Angela can go shopping for whatever baby things you like alright? Leave all the moving and hard work to me."

"I was intending to."

Our daughter's doing some sort of acrobatics inside her mother's stomach, I can feel her movement under my hand.

"Ouch, she just kicked me in the ribs." Bones winces.

I laugh. "Sounds like a Booth alright."

"Hmmmm…. I'm tired." Bones snuggles nearer to me, closing her eyes, drifting off to sleep.

I lower my head to whisper to her tummy. "Mummy's tired, try not to do jumping jacks in there."

Bones laughs again, her eyes still closed. I love that I can make her laugh, love that she's happy. Love that I can be the man she deserves. Her laughter makes me feel like everything is worth it, everything we've been through is nothing compared to the future we have together.

"Hey Bones?"

"Yes Booth?"

"I like the name Emily."
