Short chapter, I know, and I'm sorry for the delay...For some strange reason, I'm now extremely popular, and I am going places more or less every day...I know, I'm surprised too :P

That will be something I remember forever. That moment in the kitchen with Booth. So idyllic, timeless and perfect. However, I know it can't last forever. But for now, I want to hold on to this moment for as long as possible.

We sit down and have breakfast in peace, but we can't stop looking at each other. It feels like my first crush all over again.

"So, Bones, when is Theo or Lea due?" He asks. I can tell he's been wanting to ask that for a long time.

The question I dread. It always makes me want to cry. Even when I think about it in hindsight.

"Bones?" He asks again and I can tell he's concerned. I hear something drip and I feel my cheek. I'm crying.

I've cried so much I've forgotten what it feels like. I don't even notice it when it happens.

"Sorry." I mumble and wipe the tears from my face.

"Don't ever apologize for crying…" He says and wipes the last couple of drops from my right side.

"It's just… whenever I think about it, I start crying." I confess "I thought I'd be over it by now."

"You thought you'd be over what?" He doesn't get it.

I swallow and take a deep breath.

"May twentieth." I say and look at him. "That's the due date."

"And what haven't you gotten over yet?"

"I thought I had gotten past the significance of the date." I reply.

"What's so special about it?" He wants to know and I glare at him.

"It's one year." I say angrily and the tears are coming again.

"One year since what?"

"Since you left me at the airport without even a hug!" I almost yell. "You just held my hand! NOTHING MORE!"

He walks over to my chair and stands behind me. He hugs me.

"I'm sorry Bones. I know I wasn't here eight months ago, but I'm here now and we can hug as much as you want. I promise."

I stand up and hug him properly. It feels nice. Safe. I know now that this is what I want. This is what I've always wanted.

I look up and we're almost the same height. Our lips are only an inch apart and my lips meet his and we start kissing intensely until I start feeling something.

I break free and he looks at me strangely.

"I think the baby's moving." I say. I sound a bit shocked, I realize, but I think I'm right. Before I know it, his hands are on my stomach and I can see his face widen in a smile.

"Wow." He smiles and laughs "You know, I never felt Parker move."

"This is the first I've felt it." I say and he smiles even wider, and I can tell he's happy to feel his baby's first noticeable movements.

We spend the rest of the day in our PJ's, or I wear pajamas and Booth just wears a large T-shirt and boxers, and we watch movies. Although, it's more kissing than actually paying the movies any mind.

Booth rearranged my living room so the floor in front of my TV, that I bought a few months ago, and he's taken out mattresses and put them on the floor, along with my covers so we lie there and snuggle for a while. Although it feels really corny, I don't wish to be anywhere else right now.

We fall asleep watching a movie, whose name I can't recall, and it just feels perfect. I can't wait to wake up again with him here. It's the way it should be.
