A few months had gone by and there was still no brake in the case, Angela was 7 month's along and the wedding was set to take place the month before the birth.
Tempe sat in her office looking over to her friend who sat on her couch eating an ice cream. Her stomach was rather large and made it hard for her to move so Tempe was always forced to help her up from the couch or chair and around the building. She had been taken off work on maternity leave, but insisted on working with the case in any way she could, mostly working on aging the pictures of the children to show the characteristics. Hodgins and protested, but gave in, on most days.
"Sweetie, can you help me up?" Angela asked trying to get off the couch. Tempe got up from her chair and gave her a hand.
"What's wrong Ange?" she asked making sure she could stand.
"I've got to go to the bathroom, being pregnant s hard work you know."
"No I don't and I don't ever want to either."
Angela left the room and Tempe went back to her laptop, she had been studying certain bone structures Zach had emailed her the week before while she was on a shopping trip with Angela. She was very into it and hadn't noticed Angela walked back in the room until she spoke.
"Do you know what I need?" Angela asked walking over to her and looked at the computer.
"No what?" Tempe asked never once moving her gaze from the computer.
"A baby shower, you know like a party."
"That sounds nice, you really should have one." Tempe said, her voice showing no enthusiasm.
"I think I will." She mumbled then left the room in search of her husband to be.
"No what I'm saying is, is that these particles show the babies were all killed in the same place." Zach said talking to Booth off in the corner, Angela tried not to listen, but found it hard.
She was two months away from birth and some psycho baby killer was still on the loose. She smiled at Booth as he got Zach to stop talking while she walked by, then he started back up once she was gone.
"hey." Angela mumbled making her way into Hodgins office.
"Hi, how you feeling?" he asked making his way to her side and helped her over to a chair next to the table he was working at.
"Sore, but that's expected." She said smiling up at him.
"Were you bugging Dr. B?"
"No why?"
"You normally spend time with her."
"She was busy working on a bone fragment of the youngest infant, I couldn't handle that."
"I understand. We'll get this creep behind bars, you'll see."
"I know, but I was thinking, can I have a baby shower?"
"You have to ask? Of course you can the biggest one you want, with everyone you want."
"Really?"
"Sure."
"Thank you." She said embracing him and kissed his lips.
"But I have work to do first, so let me finish this up and we'll go home." Hodgins said going back to his work.
Angela nodded and looked out the big glass window to see Tempe and Booth talking about something, most likely Booth was telling Tempe everything Zach had told him.
"What are the chances of them getting together?" Angela whispered watching them as they moved towards the platform.
"Who?" Hodgins asked following her gaze to see who she saw. "Booth and Dr. B?"
"Yeah, they make such a cute couple."
"I don't know Ange, they don't seem like they want to be a couple."
"Oh Booth likes her that's easy to tell and if you watch Bren long enough you can see how much she likes him."
"I'd just let time work its way with those two, don't interfere."
"I won't."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
Two weeks later Tempe and Booth found themselves in front of a rather large home, a lake was off in the distance and the land it was on was like a hotel itself. Tempe looked around wondering where all the money and things came from, she was still unknowing on Hodgins family's history.
"He gets a big pay check." Booth lied ringing the door bell and watched as she starred up in amazement.
"I believe it, I could afford this in about a three years salary, but I like my place."
The door opened and they entered through the door in side was beautiful and all decorated, blue and pink colored streamers and balloons covered the walls. Signs that read 'it's a boy' and 'it's a girl' were everywhere. Hodgins and Angela had agreed to keep the gender of the baby unknown until it was born.
Tempe soon found her way into the main room where she found Angela surrounded by friends and what appeared to be family from her and Hodgins. Booth and her walked over and joined in on the conversation, well Tempe only really talked to Angela seeing as how that's all she knew there.
The baby shower was filled with games and food, lots of joking and finally the present opening. Booth had gotten her a yellow blanket to keep the infant warm at night and Tempe had gotten her a hundred dollar gift card to a baby store down the street from the lab.
After the cake and everything else Tempe and Booth left, Angela had begged them to stay, but she told her the case was waiting to be cracked and they had work to do.
Booth drove and Tempe sat next to him thinking where the case was headed next.
"That was something huh?" Booth asked her from his seat.
"What do you mean?"
"The party?"
"It was nice."
"Still don't want kids?"
"No, I'm fine the way I am."
"Ok, but you at least need some experience in getting gifts."
"What do you mean?"
"A gift card? Bones, really?"
"I didn't know what else to get, except for the fact that children are dependent on the parent, do illogical things and put things in their mouths that don't belong, I know nothing about children."
"Well then I'll show you." Booth said pulling the car over to the side.
"Excuse me?" she asked not knowing what he meant.
"Top your left is a baby store, we're going in there to look around and I'll show you what you get a certain ages."
"Why would I need to know this?"
"Because when that baby is born you will be a responsible person and will have to make decisions that can affect it greatly." He said getting out of the car, Tempe right behind him.
"Booth, she's having the kid, not me."
"I know, but as the godmother you have a responsibility too."
"I'm a godmother?" she asked as they walked in.
"You didn't know that?"
"No, she ever told me."
"Oops. I thought she did. Sorry." He said looking at her.
"How did you find out?"
"They told me when they asked me to be the godfather."
"Great so we're going to be god parents of this child, right?"
"Right."
"Fine then let's get this little learning experience done with. I've got a few godmother duties to perform before that baby decides to come."
"Like what?"
"Like making sure a killer is behind bars."
"Good point."
Tempe followed Booth around the store and listened as he taught her what to get and certain ages and what to avoid. She wasn't sure if she really wanted to be the godmother, but knew she would be one anyways because Angela was her friend and she wouldn't turn her offer down.
"Hi, I'm veronica, is there anything I can help you with?" she asked as Booth and her passed by.
"Yes I'm looking for little yellow pajama's." Booth said while Tempe looked to the teething ring she saw him holding.
"When is the baby due?" she asked leading them to the area.
"Two months." Tempe said looking at the different colored baby clothes.
"You don't look like your seven months along." She said looking to Tempe curiously.
"That's because I'm not. I'm not even pregnant, these are for my friend." Tempe said looking at her as if she were crazy.
"Oh, my apologies. It's just you two look like a couple that's all, I'm sorry." She said sound truly sincere.
"It's fine." Booth said picking out the offit he thought looked best and they left to pay.
"So you get the basic idea?" Booth asked driving back to the lab while she looked through a book she bought on the first year.
"I think so." She mumbled.
Booth and Tempe walked together into the lab carrying the gifts they bought and headed towards her office. They were going to keep the gifts there until the baby was born, it'd be the last place to find it and Angela wouldn't be spending so much time at the lab since the pictures where done being aged.
As Tempe walked into her office she noticed a manila folder sitting on her desk, she placed the book down and opened it up, inside was a note.
"What's that?" Booth asked walking over to her and looking at it.
"A note, it says 'Back off, their dead nothing else to know. Back down or she's next.'" Tempe read looking down at the letter.
Booth went back to the folder and emptied a few of the other contents; in it were six digital photos of a very pregnant Angela. Tempe starred at him her heart skipped a beat, her best friend's baby was in danger.
