Author's note: Having a little bit of writers block on 'We Can Begin Again' but I do have a chapter that's almost finished. In the next chapter I'm going to start the memories. Thanks for all the reviews!

"Wait a minute you're pregnant?" Booth asked.

"That's what the good doctor said." Temperance replied getting up from the bed. She needed some room from Booth's incessant smothering.

"How, when?"

"Maybe you've forgotten but I've just lost that past nine years of my life so forgive me if I can't remember that last time we could have possibly conceived another child." She snapped.

Booth just stood there watching her with the undeniably look of hurt in his eyes.

"Don't do this Bones." He said shaking his head.

"Do what?"

"Block me out like this. Let me in, I can help you."

"Can you help me regain my memory?"

"I can if you let me." He told her taking one of her hands.

"No you can't. Just stop Booth." She said wrenching her hand from his.

"Okay fine." He said as calmly as he could and left the room. Temperance dropped herself down on her bed and began to sob uncontrollably. Well at least she had an excuse for all of her tears, she was with child. Suddenly feeling tired and very uncomfortable in her blazer and jean jacket she got up and searched the drawers for a nightgown. How could she possibly be pregnant? When she had woken up from her nap she didn't feel as if she were carrying a human being. The look on Booth's face was unforgettable. He was shocked of course but a quick smile flashed across his handsome features. Booth definitely wanted more children there was no doubt about it. He was just one of those guys who were made to be fathers and procreate as much as possible. Temperance imagined him telling his friends and co-workers, receiving congratulatory slaps on the back and "You stud!" being tossed his way. Never in a million years would she understand the correlation of getting a woman pregnant with sustaining your manhood. She walked over to one of their dressers and came across their things jumbled together meshing perfectly. His socks, her panties, and oddly enough a box of condoms with three left. Temperance laughed as her tears started to dry. Were she and Booth really that frisky? Obviously the contraceptives were not enough. She thought to herself and slipped into the simple white nightgown she'd found. Crawling into the bed she inhaled Booth's scent that wafted from what she assumed to be his pillow. She yawned and closed her eyes falling into a somewhat peaceful slumber.

Temperance woke to the smell of pancakes and bacon in her room, she sighed and took the pillow she was spooning and placed it back to its rightful spot.

"Booth." His name escaped her lips in a soft manner as she saw him walk into their room with his back to her carrying a tray.

"Good morning, Tempe." He said settling the tray down in front of her.

"What's this?" she asked.

"This is breakfast in bed. It's a little tradition I do. When I found out you were pregnant with Adam I brought you breakfast in bed. When I found out you were pregnant with Lila I brought you breakfast in bed. It's sort of a little thank you for giving me another child." He said lovingly, offering her a smile.

"Figuring out another way to push this baby out of me without it hurting would be a better thank you." Temperance commented whilst munching on some bacon.

Booth laughed scratching his chin. "You're right. That would be much better."

The strap of her nightgown fell from her shoulder and Booth pushed it back up, his hand caressing the soft smooth skin of her arm. Remembering their situation Booth removed his hand.

"I'm sorry. I forgot."

"No, Booth its normal for you to be so open and affectionate with me." She paused looking down before continuing. "We seem to have something pretty good going on here." She admitted.

"Yeah we really do. It took long enough but we got there." Temperance ran a hand through her hand surprised at its length. She hadn't really noticed how long it had gotten.

"Maybe I should get a hair cut." Tempe said to herself.

"No don't." He couldn't resist taking her hand in his. "You're growing it out for me. I like it this way." It was Booth's turn to run his hand through her hair. He brought his hand to her neck and pulled her closer to him dropping a tender kiss to her forehead and gazing into her eyes.

"Booth." She reminded trying to hide from the intensity of his gaze.

"Come on Temperance. I know you feel the same way I feel for you. I love you and you love me."

"Booth I can't. I just can't right now." She pleaded with him not use to hearing herself be this needy.

"Okay." His hand left her neck and he rose from the bed. "I won't push you." Booth left their room and Temperance alone to gather her thoughts.

"What else do you want to read?" Booth asked Lila as she was sitting in his lap with Adam seated next to them.

"When's mom going to wake up?" Adam asked reaching up to take the book from his father.

Temperance was walking down the stairs listening to their conversation. She had dressed in a soft yellow sundress with her regular chunky jewelry adorning her neck and left her hair to dry in curly waves.

"Mommy!" Lila exclaimed turning to watch her mother come down the stairs.

"Good morning." She said smiling at the trio. Booth turned and watched her in awe his lips parted.

"You look fantastic." Booth told her shifting to get a better look.

"Thank you." Tempe said pushing some hair behind her ear.

"Ask her." Lila whispered to her brother.

"Ask me what?" Tempe said looking back between her two children. Adam stood and walked up to her.

"We're going to a school picnic. And we wanted to know if you wanted to join us." Tempe looked to Booth who was still admiring her in the sundress and began to feel the warmth rush to her cheeks. It shouldn't be to bad; maybe meeting other people would trigger a memory. Besides she felt it was best that she got to know her children. She nodded with a smile.

"I'd love to."

It turned out to be a beautiful spring day. As Booth piled some blankets and toys into their SUV Temperance held Lila's hand as she chatted away happily about all her classmates and friends. Adam helped his dad load the car puffing his chest out, proud of his efficient help. Finally they were on their way to the park and Tempe was preparing herself to meet all of her 'friends' from the PTA.

"I attend PTA meetings?" She asked as she looked out onto the road.

"Yeah, begrudgingly, but you do."

"Do I have any friends on the PTA?"

"As a matter of fact you do. Her name is Jessica Fields; she's married to Andrew Fields and they have two boys. Thomas, their oldest is seven like Adam, and their youngest son is named Jake he's six, a year older than Lila."

"And we're friends?" Tempe asked.

"Yeah, you both have children and are working parents. So I'd say you have a few things in common."

"Wow, middle class suburbia." she muttered looking out the window.

"Geez Bones, nothing about our neighborhood is middle class. You insisted on finding the best neighborhood with the least amount of crime. With that demand all the prices went up a little. Then we found our house and you just had to have it." Booth looked over at her and back to her taut tummy. "How far along did they say you were?" he asked.

"Five weeks. I called back this morning before I came downstairs, and they told me that I had come in earlier asking for a pregnancy test. I guess I was late just once and a little concerned." She shrugged and a hand went to rest on her stomach.

"How do you feel?"

"No different then I did when I woke up." She answered casually. Even though Temperance knew that she had been pregnant already this was her 'first time' experiencing. She had no idea when the morning sickness would come in to play or when her feet would swell up and she would be blaming Booth for her condition with one look from him.

"Well you look radiant." Booth smiled at her as they pulled up to the picnic. "Alright, let's do this."
