Author's note: Big day for Bones finale coming soon too!

Brennan

I'm big, uncomfortable and clumsy. I want this baby out of me already. It's already very difficult to bend over the examination table, which is what I've been doing all morning. Looking over a set of remains for our latest case that Wendell had brought back from the field with Booth. I lift up the scapula, trying to look for any anomalies or indications that might help us identify the murder weapon.

The annoying squeezing pain is back again. I don't want to think too much about it, if I go to the hospital now, they're gonna send me home again anyway. The baby's not due for another couple of days. But this contraction is leaving me bending over, bracing myself with one hand on the examination table. I'm forced to put the victim's scapula down, one hand on my stomach, the other still on the examination table, trying to catch my breath. Ok so this could be the real thing, the contractions that had begun over dinner last night and had been getting closer and more painful since the early hours of this morning.

Good thing Booth was called away for a case in the wee hours this morning. If he had woke up with me like he usually does, he would have noticed my discomfort immediately. I'd just wait maybe for another couple of hours before I'll call Booth. The contraction passes and I am able to straighten myself again. I take a breath before resuming my examination of the remains.

As if thinking of him makes him materialize out of thin air I hear a familiar whistling, then my husband breezes into the room.

He cheekily smacks me on my butt, grinning a "Hey Bones!"

I cast him my death glare.

He raises his hands in surrender. "Ok, I'm suddenly not so sorry I wasn't there when you woke up this morning. Bad case of pregnancy hormones huh?"

"What are you so happy about?"

"Oh nothing, just admiring my sexy wife, I mean how much better can life get? I've got a beautiful wife, great kid and another one about to get here any day now."

"Hmmm…." I ignore him.

"Oh-kay. Little Miss Grouchy, found anything yet?"

He's hovering over me as I inspect the sternum. It gets on my nerves.

"Just back off Booth, give me some room to do my work."

"Somebody got up on the wrong side of bed this morning."

"I got up on the side I always get up on."

"Right Bones….. nevermind. Anything?"

"Not yet."

"Ok, I'm just gonna be in your office – "

Another contraction grips me, sooner than I anticipated. I double over again, holding on to the side of the table and gritting my teeth.

"Whoa, hey Bones what's wrong?"

Booth is by my side in an instant, his hand on my back.

"The baby's coming right?"

The contraction's passing and I remind myself to take a breath.

"Not sure." I gasp.

"Not sure?! Come on this has got to be the real thing. You're in a lot of pain."

"No it's not that bad."

"Not that bad?! What? You wanna have this baby here? You're in labor ok? I'm taking you to the hospital now."

Booth grabs me by the arm and yanks off my labcoat. He takes my arms guiding me to the dor of the lab.. Everyone's casting us questioning looks.

"We're having the baby now." Booth yells at Cam. "She won't be back for the next couple of months."

"Next couple of months? I imagined I'd take our baby to work – "

"We can discuss this after the baby's out ok? Right now I just wanna make sure you don't have our baby here, or in the car on the way to the hospital."

Booth half drags, half carries me to the SUV. He helps me into the passenger seat before jumping into the driver's side. Another contraction hits and I'm gritting my teeth. I feel a gush of liquid between my legs.

"Oh-oh."

"What?!" Booth is looking at me with this wide-eyed, scared look as he pulls out of the Jeffersonian parking garage.

"I think my water just broke. Sorry about the mess."

"No, it's ok. Just hang in there, I'll get us to the hospital in no time."

Booth flips the siren and he's driving like a mad man.

"Booth slow down, you don't want to get in an accident."

"I won't."

Minutes pass and another contraction has me grabbing Booth's hand and gritting my teeth and panting.

"Hang on we're almost there." He glances at me nervously.

Booth pulls up outside the hospital, jumping out and yelling to some orderlies that his wife is having a baby. A wheelchair appears and I'm whisked to the familiar maternity ward I was at weeks ago.

They help me change into a hospital gown and a rather young looking doctor appears, looking too cheerful for my liking.

"Where's Dr Cowan?" Booth demands.

"She's on her way, but in the meantime I'll have a look at your wife."

"I'm staying."

"Didn't say you had to go."

I put my legs in the stirrups and the kid doctor slides his fingers inside me. Booth looks like he's about to shoot someone or something.

"You're seven centimeters dilated, we've got some time, I think Dr Cowan should be able to get here on time."

The doctor leaves. Booth shrugs off his jacket and loosens his tie, as if hunkering down for the wait.

"Everything's gonna be ok Temperance."

"You sound more nervous than I am."

"I guess maybe I am."

As the night progresses I try various positions to get comfortable but the pain never eases. Not that I was expecting it to. I decide that being on my side helps ease the pressure a little, Booth's hand rubbing my back to try to ease the pain.

Another contraction hits, leaving me almost whimpering in pain. I feel Booth's hand brushing my sweaty hair back.

"Hey nobody's gonna laugh if you wanna ask for an epidural ok?"

"I just want this baby out of me already." I groan and pant. I'm so exhausted from the pain, I'm not sure if I have enough strength in me to push this baby out.

"I know sweetie. Won't be long now."

"How would you know?!"

Booth doesn't give a smart-ass retort like he usually does, only give me a comforting kiss on the top of my sweaty head, mumbling a barely audible, "I'm so proud of you, I love you."

"I hate you! I'm not doing this again. You're the one who's responsible for this!"

"Hey it was you who wanted the baby!"

"Like you didn't!"

"Ok sorry, we'll only have one kid alright?"

Dr Cowan walks in four hours after we got here.

"How are we doing Temperance?"

"I just can't wait for this to be over."

Another contraction hits, and I wait for it to pass, grimacing.

"Don't forget to breathe Bones." Booth gasps as I squeeze on his hand, hard.

"You too Seeley." Dr Cowan grins at him. "Let's have a look shall we?"

I know the drill, legs open, bent at the knees as Dr Cowan slides fingers inside me.

"Ten centimeters, looks like we're ready to push Temperance. I suspect you've been in labor for some time now?"

"Since last night," I gasp.

"What?" Booth gives me an incredulous look. "And you didn't tell me?"

"I wasn't entirely sure!" I'm in pain and seat and tears are streaming down my cheeks.

"Ok, ok, it's ok Bones." Booth wraps his arm round me but I angrily push his arm away. His touch somehow irks me.

"Ok get ready to push Temperance." Dr Cowan positions herself at the end of the bed.

I pull my legs up again, bracing myself. Booth holds his hand out, offering to let me hold it. Breathing hard I grab his hand. The contractions don't ease up anymore but are continuous. The pain is almost unbearable, and I bite down on my lips, tasting a hint of blood.

"On my count one, two, three, push!"

I push with all I've got, almost expecting to feel the baby slip out of me but nothing. Panting, I hear Dr Cowan urge me to push again.

"Good job, good job, the baby's head is crowning."

"Again Temperance, push!"

"Come on Bones you're doing a great job!"

I want to yell at him to shut up but am too busy trying to catch my breath.

"The baby's head's almost out. Another push, we're almost there."

I push again, giving it all I got, the pain blinding now. I'm so tired, I'm about to give up. I shake my head, exhausted and tired of being in pain.

I let out a "can't", whimpering.

Booth wraps an arm round my hunched shoulders, whispering into my ear.

"You're doing great, our daughter's almost here. "

Booth's soft words help me find the strength and I push again,

"Head's out, come on Temperance, one more, push!"

I take breath, gathering what strength I have left and push again. I feel the baby slide out of me and the pain instantly recedes. There's a heart-stopping moment when there's silence then the newborn's loud wail pierces the room.

"Congratulations, you have a healthy baby girl."

Dr Cowan places the infant on my chest, and I'm crying with tears of joy and relief. I never thought it would feel so wonderful.

"Cut the cord Daddy?"

"Yup." Booth looks a little awestruck himself cutting the baby's umbilical cord.

He turns to take me into his arms, kissing me briefly on the lips.

"I'm so proud of you, of both of you." He has tears in his eyes. "For so many years, I've dreamt of this, wanted this. Thank you."

The crying baby's lifted from my chest. I'm instantly anxious that's she's no longer in my arms.

"We're gonna clean her up and put her in some clothes." The nurse assures us.

Booth wraps his arms round me again.

"I love you so much Temperance."

"I know. I love you too Seeley."
