Chapter twelve: Shopping

"So, I was thinking that we could show Temperance around the town today." Grace says taking a bite out of her bagel sandwich.

Booth looked at Brennan, "Would you like that?" He asked.

"Um, I guess so." She said out loud before turning to Booth to whisper, "As long as Jared doesn't come."

Booth nodded in agreement, "Mom, we were wondering if you could only come. Bones wants to go shopping for clothes."

Brennan glared at Booth before kicking him in the shin, "That was the only excuse you could think of." She hissed under her breath.

Booth shrugged, "What? We didn't really bring any clothes and besides, you're going to need some maternity clothing really soon anyway." He said motioning at the small but visible bulge that had started to form on Brennan's lower abdomen.

Grace smiled, "Oh, I know the perfect places we can go! Hurry up and finish eating so we can leave."

Booth sighed and scooted back, "You ready Bones?" he asked stretching.

Brennan nodded, "Yeah…"

"We'll take my car." Said Grace already out the door.

Booth and Brennan followed Grace to her car, a small red Volvo. Brennan and Booth were squished into the back while Grace drove.

"So, are you looking for anything in particular?" Grace asked.

"Brennan shook her head, "I just want plain tops and pants, nothing that says Two Loaves in the Oven or We're Hungry! I just want something simple and plain."

Grace nodded, "We'll here we are…I pretty sure the maternity store is on the second floor." Grace said getting out of the car. Booth and Brennan followed her up a flight of stairs.

"Ah! Here we go! I knew the store was up here!" Grace exclaimed walking into a small store.

Booth and Brennan walked into the store. It wasn't large, it had a wooden floor, shelves of baby toys and clothing, and soft classic music to calm the mind.

"Temperance dear, try these on! They might be a little big but that's okay, you'll grow into them." Grace said thrusting a pile of clothes into Brennan's arms before guiding her into a dressing room.

"I can't believe I'm doing this!" Brennan thought to herself as she put on a top. "Hm…hey, this doesn't look half bad on me." Brennan mumbled turning sideways to see how she looked.

"Well?" Grace called, "Come on out and let us see."

Reluctantly Brennan came out of the dressing room.

"Hm…" mumbled Grace, "Turn around."

Brennan twirled, "Not bad, at least you have some growing space in the front." Gracesaid tugging at the front of Brennan's top. "Seeley, what do you think about this on her?"

"I like it, it's very you." Booth said smiling.

Brennan smiled slightly.

"Now go and try on the rest of the clothes." Grace said sending Brennan back into the dressing room. After about what seemed like forever Grace finally decided that Brennan had enough clothes and it was time to shop for the twins.

"Will this torture ever be over?" Brennan groaned to Booth as they followed Grace over to the baby clothes.

"I don't know." Booth sighed studying a pair of oneies specifically designed for twins.

"Hey what about these Bones?" Booth asked holding up the oneies, "Isn't cute, look, it's thing one and thing two."

"How are they?" Brennan asked examining another pair of twins oneies.

"You know the Dr. Seuss charters…uh never mind you probably don't even know who Dr. Seuss is!" Booth said letting out a huff.

"What about these Booth?" Brennan asked holding two oneies, one said 1-2 and the other one said 2-2.

Booth shrugged, "Cute… hey Bones look at those twin headrests." Booth said picking up a blue headrest and a pink headrest.

Brennan shrugged, "Okay...Booth, what time is it?"

Booth looked at his watch, "Geez, it's 5:00! Mom, it's late, let's pay and go back home."

Grace brought everything to the register, "I insist on paying!" she said forcing Booth to put his checkbook away.

"Thank you Grace." Brennan said smiling.

It was 5:24 p.m. by the time Booth, Brennan, and Grace left the mall. Brennan yawned and snuggled into Booth's side.

"Are you tired?" he asked wrapping and arm around her shoulder.

She glared at him, "Isn't obvious." She mumbled sleepily.

He laughed, "I was just kidding, you're welcome to sleep."

"I'm fine…really…" Her voice trailed off and she started to snore.

Booth smiled and kissed the top of her forehead.

"Is she a sleep?" asked Grace looking into the side view mirror.

He nodded, "Out cold."

Grace smiled and pulled into the driveway, "I'll carry the clothes in if you'll carry her."

Booth nodded, "It's a good thing she's sound asleep." Booth said gently picking Brennan up, "She'd probably kill me if she found out I was carrying her." Booth walked into the house holding Brennan.

"What's wrong with her!" Jared shouted running towards Booth and Brennan.

Brennan stirred and opened her eyes.

"Great Jared, you woke the lady! She was asleep until now!" Booth growled as Brennan started to realize what was happening.

"Hey! Put me down!" Brennan hissed squirming in Booth's arms.

Booth gently set Brennan on her feet.

"See Temperance, unlike Booth I wouldn't have carried you unless you wanted me too." Jared said.

"Shut up Jared." Brennan huffed. Booth looked at Jared and pointed at his mouth, "Tube." He said.

Jared shut his mouth quickly and walked away.

"God, sometimes he acts like a two year old." Booth said shaking his head.

Brennan nodded swaying side to side.

"Now, let's get you to bed before you collapse." Booth said putting one hand on the small of Brennan's back and guiding her up the stairs.

"I'm not tired anymore." She mumbled sleepily.

"Mhm, sure you're not." Booth said walking Brennan to the bathroom and helped her change into a nightgown Grace had generously donated.

Brennan crawled into bed. "Do you want something to eat?" Booth asked gently.

Brennan shook her head, "Booth, I'm not a…"

"I know, I know, you're not a baby, you can take care of yourself." He said kissing her. She yawned again, "Get some sleep Bones, I'll be downstairs if you need anything." Booth said turning the lights off. He shut the door and walked downstairs.

"Is she in bed?" Grace asked putting dinner on the table.

"Yeah, it'll just be us for eating dinner." Booth said sitting down. He was just about to take a bite when there was a scream.

"Bones!" Booth yelled charging up the stairs.
