TEMPERANCE'S POV:

"Hannah's told Cullen she and I can't work together anymore." Booth informed me as he carried our dinner plates through to the kitchen

"What did she tell him?" I questioned as I followed him through

"That we clashed and butted heads, so she said." he informed me "And she says that Cullen says I'll have a new partner by next week."

"As much as I want this little one to be born happy and healthy, I can't wait for him or her to be born so I can get back out into the field and be your partner again." I admitted

"It'll happen before you know it." he replied, pressing his lips to mine softly "But for now you have to rest and take it easy."

"I know." I informed him "But it's just so boring, sitting around not doing anything all day."

"So you didn't email Cam five times today to try and help out with the case, no?" he asked

"She told you about that?" I inquired

He nodded his head… "I love that you're so passionate about your job, but you need to put yourself and your health for a change, as well as our baby's."

"It's hard…" I admitted

"I know," he informed me "but it's only for a few more weeks, and then you can go back to being the crazy, neurotic Temperance Brennan I know and love."

I smiled at him warmly and pressed my lips to his… "And for that, I'll allow you to pick the film."

"Shouldn't that be happening anyway, seeing as though we ordered Chinese at your request?" he asked

I shrugged my shoulders and smirked at him as I made my way back into the lounge, his arms wrapping around my waist from behind as he caught up to me and followed me through…

SEELEY'S POV:

"Hey," I greeted Temperance as she came to as I walked out of our en-suite the next morning "you okay?"

She nodded her head and pursed her lips together... "Yeah, fine."

"Sure?" I questioned

She nodded her head… "Just twinges. Braxton Hicks most likely. The midwife did say they'd start the closer labor got."

"Okay." I replied "You call me if you need me though, right?"

"Yeah." she informed me "I'll see you tonight."

I nodded my head in agreement and leaned in, pressing my lips to hers… "I love you."

"Love you too." she mirrored

TEMPERANCE'S POV:

"You're causing Mommy some pain today, baby." I admitted as I placed my hand on my stomach as I shut the dishwasher door "C'mon, please be good."

I yelped in pain as a sharp pain shot through my stomach and clutched onto the counter as the pain spread through to my back, yelping again, rubbing my stomach to try and ease the pain as it occurred again…

"C'mon, baby, please." I begged

Inhaling and exhaling a breath, I felt the pain subside and began to walk through to the lounge, clutching onto the wall as another pain shot through me, my breath hitching in my throat as I felt the wetness on my crotch…

SEELEY'S POV:

"Hey." I greeted Temperance as I answered her call "Everything okay?"

"No…" she whimpered

"What's wrong?" I asked worriedly

"I think." she began, sobs beginning to fall from her lips

"Baby, just take a breath and tell me what's wrong." I begged "What's happening?"

"I think I'm in labor." she informed me "I think my waters have broken. It's too early, Booth!"

"Okay," I replied "I'm on my way."

"I don't think we've got time, Booth." she admitted "This baby's coming now, I can feel it."

"Right, I'll call the midwife and get her to come to the house, okay?" I questioned as I made my way out of my office "I'm gonna hang up but I need you to stay calm for me and I'll call you right back, okay?"

"Okay." she replied

"Okay." I mirrored "It's all gonna be okay, Temp, I promise you. It's gonna be fine."

Is it though? Baby Booth is coming early!
