Another attempt at a drabble this time as I strangely find them harder to write than regular chapters. And since this is a Christmas challenge, challenge myself I shall.
Season 7
Nestled against several soft cushions on the couch in her partner's apartment, her feet resting on Booth's lap, Brennan let out a soft sigh of pleasure. Angela's reminder that she would never be alone again resounded in her mind. Her partner's hands on her feet, gently massaging the aches from carrying another growing human inside of her away. They were still on the hunt for a new house, one to raise their growing family together. Family and Christmas. Words she never thought she would associate with happiness again. But yet, here she was.
The tiny tree that Booth had put up in his tiny apartment, stockings with gifts for her and their unborn daughter, he had made sure she knew that from now on all her Christmases would always have him and their daughter in it.
Her unborn child pushed against the confines of her womb, as if to remind her mother, "I'm here." She smiles and places a hand on her swollen abdomen, gently rubbing.
"She kickin'?"
"Yes, she's rather active tonight."
Booth beams at her, as if having his child growing inside of her is the best thing that could ever happen. He leans over to press a kiss to her belly where her hand is resting. "Merry Christmas baby. Mommy and I love you so much and we can't wait to meet you."
Calmed by her father's voice, the baby inside her settles. In the glow of the blinking lights on the tree, with Booth's hands gently performing wonders on her swollen feet, Brennan soon drifts off to sleep.
