Number Four
Rolling off his wife and onto his back with a satisfied sigh, Booth closed his eyes, allowing his breathing to slow to normal. Still firmly in the grips of post-coital bliss, he felt her fingers ghost his chest. His eyes opened and he turned his head to stare into her azure eyes. He brought her fingers that were dancing on his chest to his lips pressing a gentle kiss to her upturned palm. She pressed her naked body closer, draping a leg over his and resting her head on his chest. He felt his body slowly begin to respond to her again.
"We aren't getting any younger."
Her statement seemed inappropriate for the moment and he frowned, suddenly worried that he had failed to satisfy her.
"Wait, did you not come? Cause I was sure you did. You were quite vocal about it too."
"I did experience an orgasm. Our love-making was very satisfactory. As it always is."
"Okay…" Booth wracked his brain, trying to figure out why she would be bringing up the fact that they were aging now. Maybe she wanted seconds. "You gotta give me a couple more minutes Bones, like you said I'm not getting any younger. Just another minute and I'll be ready for round two."
"That wasn't what I was thinking of but I'm certainly up for it if you are."
"I definitely am up for it." He rolled onto his side slowly, turning her with him. She slipped one leg between his. They were now facing each other and he ran his finger down her back and up the flare of her hips.
"Remember when I told you that I wanted you to have a vasectomy?"
Booth blinked. Not what he had expected. He froze, his hand resting on her hip.
"No. I'm still not gonna let anyone take a snip down there."
"I wasn't going to tell you to. In fact, I think I've changed my mind. It's a good thing you didn't go through with it because I'm thinking of adding to our family."
"Yeah?" Booth's interest was piqued. He remembered that she had concluded that she wasn't ready to stop having children
"Yes."
"So you want another baby?"
"Do you?"
"I always do, but hey I'm not the one getting pregnant then going into labor."
"Momentary pain resulting in many years of happiness. Not a bad trade-off if you think of it that way."
"So you're saying you want another baby."
Again she avoided answering his question directly. "Christine is already six and Hank two. They're both old enough not to require near constant attention that a newborn requires. I think we should be able to cope with another addition to the family."
"Of course we'll cope. We always do."
"You are an excellent father and you've never shirked your parenting duties. I have little doubt you would behave any differently if we have another child."
Booth smiled, puffing out his chest ever so slightly. It never hurt to hear his wife compliment his parenting skills. "So a fourth kid huh?'
"Why not."
The wheels in Booth's head started turning and he asked with mild apprehension, "Wait, you're not pregnant are you?"
"Not that I'm aware."
"Okay." Booth grinned. "But you want another baby."
"Yes."
"I'm ready now. What say we try for one like right now." He propped himself up on one elbow, leaning in to press a kiss to the exposed column of her neck as he rolled himself on top of her.
"Wait." Brennan pushed him off her gently.
Again taken by surprise Booth frowned. "I'm confused. Are we trying for another child or are we not?"
"We are in a sense. Perhaps I did not make myself clear. As with Christine and Hank, they were not planned. I'd like us not to plan for this baby. We don't have to put too much effort into it, just make love at the same frequency as we always do. I'll just stop the pill and we'll see what happens next."
"What happens next?" Booth quirked her a cocky grin. "C'mon Bones. It's me we're talking about here. I'm still young and virile. My boys are sniper trained and have perfect aim. Besides, doesn't hurt to have more sex does it?"
Brennan's turn to smile back. This was one time she didn't mind his cockiness. "No, it doesn't."
"Right so you'll be pregnant in no time."
She snaked her hand round his neck, running her fingers through his hair, pulling him to her for a passionate kiss.
"Booth?" She said as she deftly rolled them together, herself now on top. She nipped at the lobe of his left ear.
"Hmm?"
"I'm late."
Booth's lust-fogged brain wondered what she was late for. "Do you need to be somewhere?"
"No Booth. I'm late."
The sensation of her hot mouth at his neck didn't help but after a few seconds, his brain connected the dots. Was she saying what he thought she was saying? Filled with joy and uncertainty he exclaimed, "Wait, what?!"
This chapter was inspired by a conversation hubby and I had a week or so ago. Over lunch one Saturday, I told him, I'm expecting…" then stopped to chew my food. Hubby stared at me with wide eyes. "You're expecting?!" I laughed and replied him, "No I'm not. I was going to say I'm expecting a package in the mail." Hubby was mighty relieved. Lol!
The coming week's going to be busy, work-wise. So I don't think I'll be able to post at the same frequency as I did this week. But I'll definitely try to get at least one chapter of Unexpected Reunions up. In the meantime, wouldn't hurt to drop me a review. Much appreciated!
