30 days before the occupants of their house moved out. 30 days before the cleaners were able to go in and clean the house from top to bottom, and then the movers could move them in. He stared out of the window of his office and smiled at the thought of 'their' home, 'their' kids, 'their' cars, and 'their' yard. His grin got even bigger as he began to picture Brennan waddling around that house and helping her when she couldn't see her feet, when her back hurt, or when she would get stuck on the couch.

His thoughts were interrupted by his phone, "Booth"

"Mr. Booth, This is Edwin from Forever Jewelers, I think we found what you have been looking for. When you get a chance please come by and ask for me. I have it tucked away so that it can't be sold."

"Thank you Edwin." Booth closed the phone, after arguing over the house for 2 days and she almost shut down at him slipping and calling her his wife, he wasn't sure if buying a ring now was a good idea. It wasn't technically an engagement ring; it was more a promise ring. He was promising her that he would love her for the rest of his life. Okay it now sounded like a wedding ring, but he wasn't asking her to marry him, just make a promise with a ring. Like the words 'I chose' vs 'I do', a promise ring vs a wedding ring. It wouldn't hurt to look at it, would it?

Booth arrived at the Jewelry store, part of him hoped it was the ring, then his search was over, the other part of him was scared it was the ring and then he had to make a decision. Buy it and put it away until she was ready, if she would ever be ready. As he walked into the Jewelry store, Edwin spotted him and immediately came over to claim his possible sale.

"Mr. Booth, have a seat right here, would you like a cup of coffee or a glass of champagne."

"Coffee would be fine." Edwin signaled to another employee to get Booth some coffee and Edwin disappeared into the back.

Edwin returned and sat down opposite Booth with a deep blue velvet box; He gently opened the box and turned it towards Booth. "Mr. Booth, I hope this is what you were looking for."

Surrounded by deep blue velvet sat an 18kt white gold dolphin ring with a small diamond as the dolphins eye and .75 carat flawless diamond in the center. The dolphin wrapped securely around the diamond keeping it safely in its place. It would not be flush to her finger; however, it would not interfere with the gloves she had to use for work. Booth thought of the dolphin wrapped around the diamond keep it safe the same as his arms wrapped around Brennan's heart, keep it safe. He took the small ring out of the box and placed it on the tip of his pinkie. This was how he gauged Brennan's ring size, he had snuck home one day to check her rings on his finger so he would know what size to get. This ring would fit her perfectly. Was it a sign that it was her size and it was the ring? Would he ever be able to find the perfect ring again?

Edwin watched him, trying to tell if this was the ring. A smile came across Booths face. "You did it Edwin, this is the ring."

Edwin smiled triumphantly, "Would you need to bring the lady in to have it sized?"

Booth still had the ring on his pinkie, "nope it will fit her perfectly the way it is." As Booth left the store, he slipped the small box in his pocket, now he just had to keep it safe until after they moved.

Angela was just exiting a knife store across the street from the jewelry store Booth was coming out of. Angela was about to yell to get Booth's attention when she saw him look at something in his hand and then slip it in his pocket. She looked at the store he just came out of and had to cover her mouth so not to squeal on the middle of the sidewalk. As he pulled out she ducked behind a SUV until he was out of sight, then she hurried to her vehicle, she had to get back to the Jeffersonian, she didn't want to miss anything.

Angela came running into the Jeffersonian out of breath and frantically looking around for Brennan and Booth. She headed for Brennan's office. She didn't bother knocking and just walked right in. She caught Booth giving Brennan a tender kiss. Both stopped and looked at her. "Angela is there something you need?" Brennan inquired.

Angela looked from one to the other, "Umm, no..no..Sorry Bren. Booth, would you come see me before you leave today."

Booth furrowed his brow at her, "Sure Ange." Angela left and shut the door behind her.

"So Bones, how much longer do you think we have before we are forced to tell everyone about our baby?"

"We are going to have to decide soon, hitting 13 weeks and with everything I have read my clothing will start to get uncomfortable soon. My lab coat will hide most of it, if I keep it buttoned up, however, since I don't usually wear it buttoned up, it could draw attention. I suppose I am going to need to tell Angela soon, I am going to need someone to go shopping with for maternity clothing."

Booth quickly looked up at her. "Booth, I know you want to be there for everything, but I think buying my maternity clothing should be a girl thing." He gave a nervous laugh and nodded, she was right, just some things a man should not be aware of.

"Temperance the whole lab is here, Sweets is even here, we could tell them today, get it done, so you and Angela can make some plans and I am going to need some help when we move."

"You think we should?"

"Might as well tell them all at once and get it over with."

"Okay let's get everyone in here." Booth headed off to round everyone up, while Brennan sat down for a second before the chaos began.

As they all filed into Brennan's office one by one, they all looked at Brennan suspiciously. Hodgins finally said, "Do you all feel we have been here before?"

Booth gave Hodgins the look of 'am I going to have to shoot you' and Hodgins shrank into his spot next to Angela. And Cam was the last to arrive again; Booth had his back to everyone while Brennan faced them. He was talking gently to her and assuring her it would be okay as long as Angela's squealing didn't break anyone eardrums.

As Cam came into the office, she froze at the sight. Talk about déjà vu. "Uh Oh" her eyes grew wide as the urge to run was almost overwhelming.

"Dr. Saroyan come in and have a seat. Booth and I would like to talk to everyone."

"Does anyone feel like we have been here before?" Angela blurted out

Everyone nodded and was saying yes, yeah, this is spooky.

"Okay why is it when she says it everyone agrees, I saw it and I get the look of death from Booth?"

Booth turned around to face everyone; he wrapped his arm around Brennan's waist. "Guys, guys, we have something to tell you."

All eyes were on them now and no one was making a sound. "Okay Bones, I think we have their attention."

She smiled at him and turned to her frie..family. "Well, not sure how to say this, but Booth has assured me that blunt is the best. So, I'm…We…." She looks at Booth and he nodded.

"Are getting MARRIED" yelled Angela as she jumped to her feet.

Booth and Brennan both jerked their heads towards her "NO" they said in unison.

"Oh" Angela said quietly looking a little sheepish as she sank back in her seat.

"Angela, why would you think Booth and I were getting married, you know how I feel about it." Booth looked at the floor as he slid his hand into his jacket pocket and wrapped his fingers around the velvet box.

"I..I..don't know, it just came out. Sorry." Angela looked at her lap.

"What Booth and I wanted to tell you was that I am pregnant." You could have heard a pin drop, no one moved, no one said anything. Booth raised his eyes and watched his friends as the realization of her words hit them one by one. Angela was off the couch again, this time almost knocking Brennan over hugging her and squealing.

After all the congratulations were over, they all talked about the house, the baby, and everything that needed to be done. Booth threatened to shoot Sweets if he tried to analyze how anyone felt about Brennan being pregnant. Booth rallied the guys to help him once they started to move in. He didn't want Brennan having to worry unpacking or anything. Hodgins was looking forwards to this man cave that Booth was excited about.

Cam, Angela, and Brennan were huddled around her desk and talking about everything that needed to be done. They had a house to put in order, a nursery to create from scratch, Angela volunteered for that. Angela was more the designer; Cam was the one to keep Angela's creativity to a dull roar, because Brennan did not think having her house look like it came out of Life styles of the Rich and Famous would be a good thing with children around. She tilted her head out and looked at Booth, she smiled and there sat the biggest one of all of them.

After everyone filed out, Booth kissed Brennan and told her he would be back that afternoon to pick her up. As he left he remembered he was supposed to go to Angela's office.

He lightly knocked on her door, "Hey Ange, you wanted to see me." She turned around to face him arms crossed in front of her. "What?" He jammed his hands into his pockets as he shifted nervously on his feet.

"I saw you today."

He furrowed his brow "Huh?"

"I saw you at Forever Jewelers."

Booth sighed and closed his eyes "Yeah."

"What was the little box you shoved in this pocket?" She patted the pocket to confirm the box was there.

"Angela you can't tell anyone, especially Bones."

"You are going to ask her to marry you?"

"No"

"What do you mean NO?"

"Ange, it is complicated. You saw her reaction in there." He motioned towards her office.

"I know, but you know she loves you. She will come around in time."

In case she doesn't come around, I still plan on giving her the ring as soon as I figure out a way to make her understand it is my promise to her till death do us part without having to have a ceremony."

"Can I see it?" she looked hopeful at Booth.

He glanced around and pulled the box from his pocket and handed it to her. She opened it and her hand went to her mouth. When her eyes finally came back up to meet his, there were tears in them. "It is perfect Booth."
