A/N: Thank you for all of the WONDERFUL reviews and sorry to those I haven't written back to. There was just so many. Maybe I should make Booth the bag guy again. Never got so many reviews for just one chapter. Anyway, here's part 2 and hopefully I will get as many reviews as I did for the last chapter.

Angela walked in Wong Foo's pretty much expecting Booth to be sitting at his usual counter. She smiled when she noticed that in fact she had been right. She stood by the entrance for some time watching his every move. He looked so tired and so depressed, maybe he did feel bad for what had happened a few hours before.

She had walked in on her best friend bawling her eyes out on her couch. After much pressuring, Brennan had finally confided in her and Angela had been shocked to hear about Booth's reaction. Knowing him like she did, she was pretty sure that there had been something else, some kind of motivation behind his reaction. She didn't quite know what it was at the moment but she was dead serious about finding out.

She was slowly up to him, motioning to Sid not to say anything. She sat down beside her friend and waited for him to react. When he didn't, she decided to initiate the conversation.

"Brennan told me what happened."

She didn't know what she had expected to happen after she had said that but Booth's reaction surprised her. Simply turning his head slowly towards her, he didn't say anything. She saw again what she had seen by the entrance. He looked more than tired, he looked exhausted.

"I have to say, I was really surprised to hear about how you reacted. You made her cry and Brennan usually doesn't cry so easily."

She saw the guilt appear on his face.

At least he's not heartless. She thought to herself.

"I did?"

Even his voice sounded tired to her.

"Yeah. She stopped now but I'm guessing she's pretty pissed at you."

"I didn't to, Angela. Really, I didn't."

"Then why did you?"

Booth rubbed his hands with his face.

"Lots of things happened while I was away, I didn't even think I was coming back. I… I probably overreacted to this whole pregnancy thing."

"Took you this long to figure it out?" Angela asked, teasingly.

"Ha ha, very funny. Do you think she'll want to see me after what I did?"

"Probably. After all, she is the mother of your child."

Booth nodded.

Brennan finished closing up for the night when she heard footsteps behind her. It was past six o'clock and the last lab assistant had just left for the day. Who could be coming back? Even though she was curious, Brennan decided to ignore the footsteps and went on her way to her office.

She was surprised to hear that the footsteps seemed to be following her. Her heart racing, she turned around, ready to face whoever was coming at her.

Unfortunately, the person following her was the last person she was ready to face. Booth stood a dozen feet away from her, looking rather sheepishly at her.

"I don't know why I'm here." He said.

Brennan rolled her eyes and turned around. She continued her way to her office, Booth following behind her. He quickly caught up with her and grabbed her by the arm, not tightly, but it was enough for Bones to pull her arm violently away.

"Bones, please listen to me. I do know why I'm here. I… we need to talk."

"Oh so suddenly you want to talk? After what you did this afternoon, you're lucky I didn't ban you from this lab."

"I'm sorry."

"Well, you better be."

The harsh tone bit him to the core. How could she be so mean to him? He actually came here to apologize. He looked at her packing her stuff, fighting the urge to strangle her. Feeling guilty to be thinking that way, he pushed that thought aside. He desperately needed some rest but he wasn't going away for a few days knowing that Brennan was here in Washington, alone, angry, with his baby inside of her. He had learned the hard way that you should always say what is in your heart because you never know what could happen. He had learned that with Parker and Rebecca, with some girlfriends in the past and he wasn't about to let Temperance become his next lesson. But deep down, he knew she had already been his lesson for the day.

"You just don't know what it was like for me while I was gone. I didn't get much sleep, all we did was go out to bars to find this stupid serial killers. I think I got about three hours of sleep each night. Kara was hell; I never want to work with her again. She was worse than you."

Brennan laughed lightly. Seeing the smile on her face gave Booth some confidence. Maybe she wasn't that mad.

"It took us over a month to find that guy. Every time we thought that we were close to him, he got away. There would be another victim showing up dead somewhere in the city and we'd be back to square one. It was a very frustrating process, let me tell you that."

He noticed that Brennan had stopped packing and now stood motionlessly, listening to him. She still wouldn't look at him but he knew he was making progress. Maybe there was still hope that she would forgive him.

"Finally we got in contact with him. I tried my best to stay calm as he confessed to me that he had killed all of the girls. But I think he saw right through me because the next thing I knew I was being beaten up in an alley without even remembering how I had gotten there. He left me to die but Kara called the ambulance and I was sent to the hospital."

"How long ago was that?"

Finally, he had gotten some kind of reaction from her. She was now looking at him, rather than at the wall on the other end of her office.

"About two weeks ago, maybe less. I can't remember."

Brennan nodded.

"When I came out, we immediately went after him and caught him before he could do any more damage. He wouldn't go down that easily and he shot at both Kara and I. Kara got bullet whipped but I got it directly in the arm. We took the next plane back to Washington and I had to go straight to my office to report to Cullen. He asked me how the undercover assignment had gone and I told him everything that had happened. He asked me if I was planning on taking this position permanently and I told him no. He got all mad at me and told me that they desperately need a man like me on the force but I held my own. He finally stopped trying and told me to get out of his sight. Then I came straight here because after all that I had been through, I really needed to see you."

Booth stopped and looked at his partner. If only she knew what had been going through his mind the entire time he had been at Wong Foo's. He did in fact feel terrible for snapping at her.

"I overreacted this afternoon. All the stress of the last month, the overwhelming that came with your news, the lack of sleep, it all caught up with me at the same time and I snapped. Truth is, Temperance, I'm really happy about this pregnancy even though it doesn't show. I am. You have to believe me."

"And you have to believe that I didn't do it on purpose to forget about my pills."

In two steps, Booth was at her height. He took her by the hand and led her to her couch. He sat down and pulled her down.

"I do believe you. Like I said, I was overreacted."

"You know I don't want to have children so why could you even think a little bit that I had done that on purpose?"

"I didn't truly believe it. Temperance, baby, I feel terrible. You gotta believe me on that one."

Brennan nodded, her heart racing in her chest. He had called her baby. Suddenly something changed in his eyes. He almost looked worried.

"What's the matter?"

"You are… going to let me be in that kid's life, aren't you?"

Suddenly everything went clear for her. The story about the stress and everything, although it might have contributed to Booth's reaction, hadn't been the main motivation behind his reaction. He had been scared. He had been scared that she would take the child away from him, just like Rebecca had done with Parker, and before he could get hurt, he had decided to close himself up. She told him so and was surprised to hear Booth laugh.

"What?" she then asked.

"Bones, you do know what you're doing, right? Everything you just said, that's psychology."

He smiled tenderly at her and Brennan couldn't help but smile back.

"Sorry." She said even though they both knew that she wasn't really sorry. "It won't happen again."

Flashes of a particular day when they were about to interview a homeless man flashed through their minds. She smiled again.

"Of course I'll let you be in this child's life. There is no way that I am doing this on my own."

Booth nodded. Shifting around on the couch, he lowered his head to her chest. Instinctively, Brennan wrapped her arms around him. She didn't know how long they stayed like that, her holding him, comforting him, but the next thing she knew, Booth had fallen asleep. She got up slowly to make sure she didn't wake him and rummaged through a cupboard to find her blanket. She lovingly tucked him in then walked to her desk and turned on her computer.

Please review and chapter 5 might just be up tomorrow (if I get at least twenty reviews... hehe just kidding. Review though.)
