Chapter Six || The first glimpse of family
Booth's leg was bouncing as they sat in the waiting room, every bounce made her own chair vibrate and it was starting to drive her crazy. Putting her hand on his thigh she glared at him. "Stop." It was her first appointment and while she had told him there was no need for him to be there, he had insisted and she was secretly thankful that she wasn't going to be alone during any of this.
"Sorry." He mumbled, his hand falling on top of hers and clasping them together. She smiled and kissed him gently before looking at the clock for the tenth time in ten minutes. The appointment was mostly just blood tests and a physical but she was more than eager to be even more sure of her pregnancy.
By the time Bones' name was called, Booth was climbing up the wall in anxiety. He hadn't been around for Rebecca's pregnancy and wanted to be a part of every second of Brennan's. He went back with her and held her hand despite her eye rolls and he just smiled listening to the doctor speak. The woman he loved was having his child and actually wanted to be with him, it was everything to him.
The doctor was doing her physical exam when his and her phones both rang causing him to groan. "Booth." He grunted looking over at Bones who already knew what was happening. "Okay, thanks." Rolling his eyes he sat back down and took her hand. "It won't kill them if we're late."
"But my remains, they'll compromise them if I don't get there first. You know that they will." She immediately protested causing the doctor to look at both of them. Booth gave her a look to concentrate on the task at hand and he watched her sulk into the hospital bed as the doctor finished her exam. With a clean bill of health and a strong start of the pregnancy, the two left the doctors office hand and hand gleeful for the upcoming months.
Getting assured by the doctor that she was healthy and that there were no early signs of complications immediately made Temperance feel more at ease that she almost forgot about their impending crime scene. The couple felt lighter than ever as they exited the suv, Booth helping her out of the vehicle and putting his hand around her waist despite the stares immediately lingering on them.
"What are you doing?" She whispered looking at him with a happy smile. "I am letting everyone know that you are my girl, because I'm not hiding it any longer. Not after this morning." He whispered back before pressing his lips to hers lightly. Shaking her head she laughed and lightly pushed him away from her and to the remains completely ignoring the shocked looks of their friends around them.
"The remains are male, most likely between the ages of fifty and sixty." Temperance murmured to a wide eyed Cam.
"Now I know you're not just going to slide past what just happened there." The coroner stated causing the Anthropologist to laugh lightly.
"I don't know what that means." She stated looking over at Booth who was talking with another agent regarding the remains. Cam's eyes were still on her and she huffed. "The remains, Dr. Saroyan. I am not gossiping with you when we have a case to solve."
She made it to the lab before she was surrounded by her coworkers, her best friend being the leader of the group standing with her arms crossed. "How long?" Angela asked as she examined the skull of their victim.
"I think we're still waiting on Hodgins to tell us that, which isn't possible if you're all standing there staring at me." Angela stomped her foot like a child and glared at her causing her to roll her eyes. "A few weeks, it's not a big deal. Can we please just work on the case?" With reluctance the team went back to work, and Temperance smiled to herself thinking of what's to come.
