He took a deep breath and smiled, swallowing back his tears, "I had hoped… when I saw those curls, you weren't married, the age…" he trailed off. "But, why didn't you tell me?"
She had a tear in her eye, "I … you were who-knows-where, and we didn't know how long you'd be there… I just thought it'd be best, I was wrong…"
He nodded, understanding. He suddenly chuckled, "What did Angela do when Sully left?"
She smiled, "She was furious. Every time we saw him, before he quit the FBI, she gave him a glare that killed. I told him she didn't know about you and he understood. He was really nice considering four people, two of whom, have the training and intelligence to make very dangerous weapons and or chemicals that would harm his life, were extremely angry at him."
"Four people?"
She nodded, "Cam." He hadn't seen her, and knew that Brennan had her job, "She still helps us occasionally but she works for you guys now."
Everyone was now coming back up to the lounge, Booth and Brennan looked at each other and both reached for the others hand for support or love, which ever was needed. "Look what I drew Mommy!"
She looked at the paper Audrey held up and smiled, "It's beautiful, sweetie."
"That's really good!" added Booth suddenly feeling very fatherly and his chest filled with pride as he looked at the picture; Himself, Audrey and Bones were in the forefront of the picture, while the squints were in the back, as if she'd added them at the last second.
Brennan looked back at Booth and smiled, "Audrey sweetie, will you go with your uncle to me some water to drink?"
"Okay Momma!" Russ looked at her with furrowed brows.
"I've got something I need to tell my friends." He understood and grabbed his niece's hand, taking her downstairs again.
"What do you need to tell us?" Hodgins asked.
"The truth…"
"About…" Angela asked, holding her own glass of water.
Brennan looked down for minute then back up, "Sully"s—" she was cut off.
"That low, piece of – what'd he do? Is he coming and wanting custody rights after four years!" Angela was furious, "That son of a—"
"Ange!" Booth stopped the profanity. "Let's hear what Bones has to say, okay?"
She took a breath, "Sorry sweetie, go ahead what about him?"
"He's not Audrey's father."
"What!? You told me you hadn't slept with anyone but him…?"
"I lied." She spoke bluntly.
"Well then who's the dad?" Zack asked.
Before Bones could get it out everyone received a shower as Angela's water came spitting out of her mouth, a squeal soon following. "Ange, babe, you okay?"
She nodded her head excitedly, "She's four…curly…smile…eyes…."
"Babe you're not making any since."
Brennan scooted closer to Booth, smiling, "She's trying to tell you to think. Think about Audrey's smile, her eye color, her curly hair, and her age."
Zack thought, "What about it?"
Hodgins finally spoke, "The good doctor here is trying to tell us that before he left, she and the G-man got it on."
Zack shook his head, "So Audrey is yours and Booth's daughter?"
They smiled tightening their hold on each other's hand.
