A/N: I'm posting this chapter early since I've had so many great reviewers. You all rock. This is the shortest chapter yet, but has a huge payoff. Just wait and see. Let me know what you think. I'm not telepathic so you'll need to leave a review. And a big thanks to katiebeth for her mad beta skills.

Disclaimer: Don't own Bones. If you try to take them from me I have a friend in the Secret Service who'll go Federal on your ass. Just a warning.

Previously...

Pulling out the driveway, Angela rolled down the window to wave to her friend.

"You'll have a baby soon, Ange! I know it!" Temperance called.

"Back at ya, sister!" replied the artist with a knowing grin and a wink.

Unable to formulate an intelligent response, Temperance stood in the driveway gaping at the disappearing headlights until Booth led her inside.

Chapter 8 The Baby (Wednesday)

Temperance moved quietly through the living room, replacing pillows and folding the blankets Angela had gathered to keep warm. Booth kept busy in the kitchen, wiping down the counters, setting the table for breakfast, even making his sons' lunches for school the next morning. Their comfortable silence filled the house.

Turning off the kitchen lights after prepping their morning coffee fix, Booth shuffled down the hallway to find Temperance struggling to return the puzzle box to its shelf.

"You know, you could ask for help. Just a thought." She rolled her eyes.

"Just put the damn puzzle away." He took the box from her and slid it onto the shelf effortlessly.

"Show off." She retorted, turning to enter her office. His arm grasped hers, spinning her toward him.

"Come here, you. We have some catching up to do."

Her eyes sparkled in anticipation. "What about lunch?"

"Just a warm-up." He lowers his mouth to hers, capturing her breath within seconds.

Soon they'd snuck upstairs, managing to make it to their bedroom without waking the boys. Lying in bed Temperance sighed contently.

"Love you Booth."

"Love you back, Bones." The room grew silent. He inhaled the fruity scent of her hair, loving the way her curls tickled his face. His arms were wrapped around her, his fingers drawing lazy circles on her abdomen.

"Angela's right you know."

"About the case?" Temperance tried, knowing very well what Booth was referring to.

"Nope. About us. A baby. Very soon, Mrs. Booth, very soon." She tensed, willing the nervousness, the anxiety to flee and never come back.

"I know." She agreed, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm scared."

"No turning back now. In just under three months we'll have another little Booth to love." He leaned down, pulling up her night shirt. She smiled as he kissed her small belly, just now beginning to show. "Good nite, baby Booth. Love ya, kid."

A/N: ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. She's pregnant! (cue my evil laugh)

Yes, I planned this from the beginning of the story. Kudos to those who thought Bones would eventually get pregnant. At this point in the story I would recommend you a) review this chapter and then b) re-read the story from chapter 1. A lot of things will begin to make sense. Why Temperance was so moody. Why Booth didn't want her camping, referred to deliveries and wanted to keep her out of the field. Also, if anyone noticed I didn't really describe how Temperance looked aside from her facial expressions, hair, etc. I did describe Parker, Sam, Angela, Booth and even Zack's clothing. Ha ha ha ha ha!
