Thanks a lot for the wonderful reviews you all sent me! Knowing that everybody was waiting for this chapter puts a lot of pressure on me. Hopefully you won't be disappointed.

Brennan walked in the Medico-Lab and made her way to her office, passing Angela on the way. Tagging along, Angela asked her how her doctor's appointment had gone but Brennan didn't feel like answering. Nobody at the Jeffersonian beside Zach and Angela knew she was pregnant and she didn't want the whole Medico-Lab knowing either, not before she had told Booth anyway. She knew that she wouldn't be able to hide the fact she was pregnant very long since in a couple of weeks she would start to show and if Booth didn't come back before, she would have to tell the others before she even told him.

"In my office." She simply replied to Angela's question.

Walking in her office, she stepped aside to let Angela in and checked outside to see if anybody was coming. Seeing nobody, she walked to her desk and sat down.

"Everything went well. The doctor said that I should get some rest. He said the baby's heartbeat was a little fast and he asked me whether I had been stressed or not lately."

"Well you have been. You've been up most nights waiting for Booth to call and you haven't heard from him. How long has he been gone?"

"A little over a month. A month and a half, maybe."

"How are you holding up?"

"Fine. Last time he called me, Booth said that he was close to catching his guy, he'll probably be back really soon."

"Doesn't mean anything. Maybe he was close then but isn't close now."

Brennan shrugged. She didn't want to think about it. Truth was, she WAS worried about Booth and knew she was stressing the baby as well. If Booth didn't come back soon, she could endanger the baby's health.

"Relax, Brennan. It's not like you can stress your baby to death." She thought to herself.

"Other than that, everything is good with the baby?"

"Yeah. Everything is going fine."

"When is your next appointment?"

"Three weeks."

Angela nodded.

They spent the remaining of Angela's lunch break talking about their newest case but five minutes before she had to leave, Angela stirred the conversation back to the baby.

"When are you going to tell Goodman?"

"I'm not. I mean, I will eventually just not yet."

"It would be a good idea to tell him soon, especially since you will be ask to go on maternity leave in two or three months, maybe even before."

"You're going on maternity leave?"

Hodgins walked in the office, uninvited and sat down on the couch.

"Eventually she will." Angela replied.

"Oh man. No wonder you've been all happy lately. How come you didn't say anything before?"

"She wanted to wait until she told the baby's father." Angela replied.

"You know, Ange, I'm completely capable of answering on my own."

"Sorry."

"How far along are you?" Hodgins asked, getting all worked up.

"Why do you care so much?" Angela cut in before Brennan could answer.

"I'm just curious."

"Three and a half months."

"And you still haven't told the father about it? Bren... Oh my God, it's Booth isn't it? That's why you couldn't tell him. You found out after he left that you were pregnant and since he hadn't called you, you haven't been able to tell him."

Brennan blushed at Booth's name and Hodgins knew he had guessed right.

"Oh man. He's going to freak. How did it happen? Don't you ever wear protection? I'm actually surprised you could have gotten pregnant."

"They didn't use protection and she was on the pill. But she forgot to take it a couple of times that month and she forgot to mention that particular detail to Booth when he asked her."

"Oh man Booth is going to be so pissed."

"Why?" Brennan asked, feeling a bit left out of the conversation considering they were talking about her.

Hodgins turned to look his colleague and Brennan could see that he was surprised she hadn't guessed before.

"I know I would be if a woman I had a one-night stand with came up to me and told me she was pregnant with my child, especially if she lied about her not taking her pill."

"I didn't lie, I just forgot that I had... forgotten."

"Yeah like he'll believe that. Oh, can I be there when you tell him?"

"You know what, I think he will believe it."

"Good luck, man. I hardly doubt it."

"Doubt what?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The three of them turned to the sound of the voice. Angela's mouth fell open as she set eyes on the newcomer.

Brennan had kicked everyone out of her office the second she had realized who was standing at her door. Angela had grabbed Hodgins by the sleeve after he had begged Brennan once again to be there when she'd tell him but luckily Booth had been to mesmerized by his partner to hear Hodgins's comment. The second Angela and Jack had walked out, Booth had closed the door behind him and, in three steps, had been up at his partner's height and crushed his lips on hers.

They stood there, kissing, for what seemed like an eternity before Booth pulled back and looked down at her.

"Hey." He said softly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

"You're back."

"Yeah and I'm definitely not leaving again."

Brennan stepped back and took a good long look at her partner. She noticed that he looked tired. He had the darkest circles under his eyes that Brennan had ever seen and he looked rather pale. She figured that he hadn't slept well in days.

"Was it that difficult?"

"What? The case or being away from you?"

Brennan swallowed hard.

"Both." She finally answered after a few seconds.

"The case was difficult but being away from you for lost was truly the hardest. I missed you so much."

He leaned in once again to kiss her but Brennan pulled back.

"Booth. We need to talk."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Why do I always hate it when women say these words?" Booth asked as he followed Brennan to her couch. "It always seems to be followed by some kind of bad news."

Brennan laughed nervously.

They both sat down on the couch and she turned to face him. She wouldn't look at him in the eyes. She knew that if she did she would lose all of her courage and would never be able to tell him. She took his hands between hers and looked up at his face. She could see a small smile tugging at his lips. She smiled a bit too before looking back down once again.

"I don't think this will be bad news."

"OK."

Brennan took a deep breath. This was it. She was finally going to tell him. She had been waiting almost two months to tell him and this was the moment of truth. She could feel her stomach squeezing. What would he say? How would he react? Would he be pissed like Hodgins said he would? Would he be happy? Should she apologize right after and tell him that she really did forget about her pills and that she hadn't lied just so she could get pregnant? All these questions raced through her mind as she gathered as much courage as she could.

"I'm pregnant." She finally said after a few seconds of uncomfortable silence.

Her eyes who had been focusing on their hands finally looked up at him. His face showed no expression whatsoever and Brennan began to wonder if he had heard her. She finally gathered up enough strength to look into his eyes. Again she couldn't see any reaction.

"Booth..."

"You're pregnant? You mean, pregnant pregnant?"

"How many kind of pregnancies are there?" she asked him sarcastically. "Of course I'm pregnant pregnant."

Booth could feel his heart racing in his chest. Had that been why she hadn't let him kiss her a few minutes before, because she was pregnant, possibly from some man she had slept with while he was gone? Or even while he was still in Washington worried sick about the effect that their little one-night stand had had on their relationship? He really thought that they had gotten closer. He had even told her that he loved her. Had that been a mistake? Oh man, he couldn't help thinking.

"Who...?"

"Is the father? You are, of course. What do you think I am? Some kind of tramp?"

"No. I just... how? I mean, how did it happen?"

"Do you really need me to explain to you how you got me pregnant? I know that you only went to public school Booth but I was certain that you'd know how to make a baby, especially since you already have one."

Brennan laughed but Booth was in no mood to. The news of his partner's pregnancy was too overwhelming. He was going to be a father. He knew that later he would be happy but at the moment, too many questions were left unanswered. They had only slept together once and she had told him she was on the pill. How could she have gotten pregnant? Had she lied to him?

"I thought you said you were on the pill. How on earth did you get pregnant?"

"Well, you see..."

"You lied!"

His tone had been accusatory and Brennan went into defense mode.

"I didn't lie. I had just forgotten to take it a couple of times and I had completely forgotten about it."

Feeling the anger rushing through him, Booth let go of her hands and stood up. As he started pacing back and forth, Brennan couldn't help but feel scared.

"Are you mad?" she asked him.

"No."

But Brennan didn't believe him.

"You're mad." She stated.

"Of course I'm mad Bones. You lied to me."

"No, I didn't."

"Yes, you did. You told me you were on the pill. I believed you, Bones. I trusted you."

"I told you, I didn't lie. I had forgotten about the pills. It's not like I have sex often."

"Isn't that the perfect excuse? You lied, Bones. Don't try to excuse yourself out of it. And I thought you didn't want to have children?"

"I don't. That's why you have to believe me. I didn't lie!"

Tears shot up to her eyes but she fought them back. She wasn't going to cry in front of Booth, it wouldn't solve anything.

Suddenly Booth stopped pacing and instead walked directly towards the door.

"Where are you going?" she asked him.

"Out. I just can't be in the same room as you right now."
