The moment their car was securely in park, Brennan exited the car and walked briskly into the back door of the Hodgins estate.

"Mommy!" Drew shrieked the moment he saw his mother. He reached his arms up and she picked him up.

"Hi! Oh, I missed you!" she said into the hug.

"Miss you too. Hi, Daddy," Drew yelled, waving over Bren's shoulder to wave at Booth.

"Hi, buddy! Did you have fun with Angela and Jack?"

Drew nodded and Booth gathered Drew's numerous bags that Bren had packed him the week before and loaded them in the car while he let his wife talk with her friend.

"Did you have fun?" Angela asked Bren with a waggle of her eyebrows.

"We'll talk later," Brennan said. Booth came back in and took Drew out of Brennan's arms to put him in his car seat.

"Ange, he's all sticky. Did he have a bath at all this week?" Booth asked, sniffing his son.

"Nah, I figured I'd let you take care of it, Booth. It's good for you. Builds character," Angela mused.

Booth rolled his eyes. "Alright, big guy. Let's get you home. A bath is in order."

"Okay, Daddy."

"Did something happen? Something exciting? How was Hawaii? I want to know everything!" Angela told Bren as she followed them out the door.

"I'll call you," Bren said, dismissively.

"If you don't call by ten tonight, I'm calling you!"


"Sweetie, you said you'd call."

"I'm sorry, Ange. I just wanted to spend some time with Drew. I really missed him."

"Aw, Bren, that's precious. I forgive you. Now tell me, how was Hawaii?"

Bren smiled. She was sitting in the office going over old paperwork, whispering into the phone, just in case Drew was still awake in the next room. "It was…wonderful."

"So did you guys never leave the hotel room? Or did you stay out on the beach all night long? Was it totally romantic? Was it everything you ever dreamed of?"

"We left the hotel room…to go to the beach. But that was basically all we did."

"Besides it, right?" Angela laughed.

Brennan laughed lightly but didn't say anything, feeling the heat rise in her cheeks.

"I may not be able to see you right now, but I bet you are totally blushing. That's adorable, Bren. Really."

"I never did properly thank you for watching Drew while we were away."

"It's totally not an issue, Sweetie. Jack and I loved it. Jack's so excited for the baby now. We had so much fun."

"I think…"

"What is it, Sweetie?"

"Never mind. I'll see you at work on Monday. Thanks again, Ange."

"Wait, Bren, what-"

Brennan hung up before Angela could get the rest of her sentence out. She took a deep breath to calm herself.

"Just wait until you can get a blood test," she whispered, "Do it at the lab. Wait until Monday. Don't get anxious."

Knowing talking to herself was going to get her nowhere, Brennan moved her thoughts back to her mind. "Easier said than done."
