Finally over the shock of meeting Corbin, but I'm now obsessed with In the Heights! I might even incorporate it into this story somehow, like a birthday present for Brennan from Booth. Anyways, enjoy!
Chapter Thirty-Five: Month Two Madness
After Brennan told Booth about her pregnancy, things seemed to go on as normal. At least for another week.
After that first week, which was the last of her first month, it seemed, according to Dr. Gonzalez, Brennan began having morning sickness just about every day. Angela, too.
When they were at work, the women could be seen running to the ladies' room from their offices at the same time. Usually at this time Brennan was in the middle of identifying a murder weapon or working on her book, while Angela worked on reconstructing faces or painting, while their husbands (fiance, in Booth's case) stayed close by to comfort them in any way they could.
When the two women straightened themselves up, they would walk out and take the compliments and kisses from their men, before going back to work...only to do it over within the hour.
At the end of the day, it was difficult to say who was more tired; the husband/fiance's or the expecting mothers.
One night, it was worse for Brennan, who had stayed home when it was decided that she couldn't even stand steadily without getting dizzy and putting her head in the toilet once again. She lay on the floor of the bathroom, moaning, curled up into a fetal position, with Booth at her feet. He had already dropped the kids at work and had redressed into his pajamas, taking the day off from work so he could comfort his fiance.
"Bones..." he said, softly, rubbing her arm, "it's going to be okay."
Brennan turned to him, with her eyes red, and her expression angry. "I know," she growled, "but it wouldn't have to get better if you hadn't done this to me in the first place!"
"Bones, I'm-" Booth started.
"No!" Brennan yelled at him. "Don't even say it! Just go! Get out of here!"
Booth nodded and after kissing her forehead once more, he walked out, leaving Brennan there, with tears pooling in her eyes.
An hour later, Brennan was finally able to stand without that annoying feeling of vertigo striking her. She walked out into their bedroom, and when she didn't see Booth laying on the bed, she began to panic.
He didn't really leave, did he? Brennan thought. Not because of what I said.
With all the strength she could muster, she walked into the living room, looking for any sign that he was still there. When she saw nothing, she sunk to the floor, sobbing.
He really did leave. She thought. I told him to leave and he did.
Brennan sobbed harder, until she felt a hand on her shoulder.
She looked up into Booth's concerned face, as he knelt next to her.
"What's wrong?" he asked, but Brennan just looked up at him, dumbfounded. "Baby?" he asked.
She shook her head, ignoring his 'baby' comment, and throwing her arms around him. "I thought you left." she whispered into his ears.
He put his arms around her, and kissed her cheek. "Why do you think that?" he asked her.
"Because I told you to." Tears were now streaming down her cheeks. "I'm so sorry, Booth. I was horrible to you."
Booth chuckled. "It's okay, Bones," he said, soothingly, "You're pregnant. Your hormones are just messing with you. I know you didn't mean it, and even if you did, I could never leave you."
Brennan looked up at him, her crystal blue eyes sparkling with tears. "Really?"
Booth nodded. "Of course, Bones. I love you too much to go now. I couldn't imagine life without you."
"Really?" Brennan's eyebrows rose. "You're not just saying this to spare my feelings because I'm pregnant?"
Booth shook his head. "I swear. I mean every word, and as soon as this baby is born, I'll say it again, as many time as you want. I'll never get tired of saying that. No more so than telling you how much I love you." He gave her his charm smile and she fell into his arms.
"I love you, too, Booth." she mumbled into his chest.
There was a moment of silence as they sat on the floor, just holding each other, before Brennan spoke up again.
"Booth?" she said, into his chest.
"Hmm?" Booth asked.
"It's still your fault I'm like this." she mumbled, in a mock irritated tone.
Booth chuckled and kissed her forehead. "I know, baby, I know."
