"Yeah! That's a great thing. What? What?Oh. C'mon Bones look. The baby, the baby just fine.It'shealthy. The baby's healthy, alright. They love each other. This is the happiest day of their lives, okay? What?" – Booth ('The Change in the Game')

Brennan stared down at her bulging stomach, three more months had passed and she was just coming in to her second term. Her face glowed in pride as she strode through the doors of the office. In the last few weeks Brennan had changed dramatically, her attitude and overall demeanor was sometimes unrecognizable.

Booth constantly blamed the hormones but Brennan repeatedly said otherwise. As Booth trudged in behind her, his eyes tired and hazy, Brennan grasped his hand in hers. Although Brennan's attitude had changed, the fear that boiled deep inside of her never ceased.

Only Booth knew this. There were times where she would wrap her arms around him tightly, fearing the threat from months ago, fearing for the life of her unborn child. After another startling threat, Brennan and the team had put the bones into Limbo and began working on other cases.

"Booth, we have a problem." Cam whispered quietly, trying not to catch Brennan's attention. Booth looked over at came, his eyes filling with worry.

"I fear we have a body resembling that of the previous case three months ago." She finished softly. Every muscle in Booth's body tensed as Brennan turned to face them.

"Have Angela ID the body and give it a face." Brennan demanded, glaring hard at Cam. Avoiding her mood swing as best she could, Cam nodded and rushed to Angela's office.

Brennan stared at Booth, warm, salty tears forming in the corner of her eyes. Booth stood up and grasped her hands in hi, pulling her tight against his chest.

"It'll be okay Brennan." He whispered. She clenched her fists at her sides, forcing herself not to cry before wrapping her arms lovingly around him.

"I love you Booth."

"I love you too Brennan." He replied, kissing the top of her forehead.


Angela glanced down at the skull sitting on her desk before glaring at Cam. Cam shuffled slightly, feeling a little bit stuck between mood swings and wishing desperately to avoid any.

"Why is this on my desk?" Angela grumbled, pushing it aside to reach her papers. "I'd prefer you didn't put anything on top of my papers."

"Brennan would like you to put a face on this." Cam said wearily, her eyes skittering nervously around the room.

"Alright fine." She grumbled, Cam nodded and walked out of the room.

"This is why people have pregnancy leaves." She mumbled to herself.


Out in the main room, Hodgins dodged through the people, rushing to Booth.

"Booth, there're more bodies. These have everything similar except… they're kids." He said in a hushed, shaky voice. Booth froze, his mind pausing as he thought of Parker and of his unborn child, then rushed after Hodgins.

Just outside of the Jeffersonian, laying in the bushes in front of Brennan's car were three small skeletons with a note tapped to each.

"Let's get them to Brennan." Booth ordered.


Five minutes later and the bodies were laying in front of Brennan. She pulled on of the sheets of the largest of the three.

Dear Brennan,

He is 10. His name is Edward White. He was deaf, he heard no evil. You leave this case and you will hear no more of me.

A bit shaken she took the second note into her hand, uncrumpling it.

Dear Brennan,

He is 8. His name is Diego Forsin. He was mute, he spoke no evil. Let this case slide and I will not speak to you again.

Slowly, she reached for the third.

Dear Brennan,

Isn't she tiny? She is 6. Her name is Daisy Malon. She was blind, she saw no evil. She was beautiful, almost like you. If you do not leave this case, Your beautiful daughter will never see evil. Ever.

She dropped the note, falling heavily back onto Booth, tears staining her face. She had to drop the case, but these children needed justice. Brennan paused, what about her child though?
