More fluff, for now…. Bwahaha!

She woke up with his arm wrapped snugly around her growing abdomen. Just like she had for the past month and a half. She was fifteen weeks along in her pregnancy; a soft mound had begun to form near her belly button.

Temperance Brennan felt Booth stretching behind her as he woke. "Good morning, handsome." She said with a lazy smile as she rolled over to face him.

"Good morning, my beauties." Booth exhaled as he leaned forward to press his lips to hers.

"Beauties?" She questioned, against his lips.

He pulled his lips away from hers. "Yeah, you know… you and the baby."

Her soft chuckle warmed his chest. "So I take it that if you're calling it beautiful then you think it's a girl." There was a question in her voice.

Booth stroked her hair, as they lay entwined in her bed. "I think a girl would be wonderful, Bones. But no matter what it is, it will be beautiful just like you." He leaned forward and kissed her lightly once again.

"But-" she spoke between his sweet chaste kisses. "Booth- logically speaking, this embryo has both of our DNA and therefore will have characteristics similar to those in our family blood lines. It will likely show traits based on dominant genes and therefore will have different qualities of the two of us."

Booth rolled his eyes. "It" he said sarcastically, "will be beautiful just the same, boy or girl."

Temperance nodded with acceptance. "I suppose you're right." A mischievous glint stuck her eye; Booth knew he was doomed as soon as it did. Just like he was doomed every morning. She pushed her body forward into his and her voice turned husky. "So what would you like to do this morning?"

"Bones…" he warned. "We've been over this."

"It's been nearly three months Booth!" She exclaimed as she watched him retreat from her bed.

"And we will be-" he gulped, "physical again soon. I promise."

She rolled her eyes and threw her covers off dramatically. Temperance stood facing him, with a bed between them and her hands on her hips. "When?" She questioned, defiantly. "When there's a belly the size of a bowling ball between us? Or bigger?"

His eyes drifted downward to her abdomen. The bulge that was their child inside her showed clearly through her tight tank top. It sent a flash of electricity down his spine that set his skin on fire with arousal. Booth crossed the distance between them and wrapped his arms around her waist tightly. She released a gasp of air and a soft giggle at his surprising show of dominance.

"Have dinner with me tonight?" His breath was hot and his voice was low.

Her chin angled upwards in another show of defiance and she tried to hide her smile. "Why should I?"

"Because…" Booth thought for a second, "you want to."

Temperance laughed, his words were almost like a question. She sighed, "Give me a better reason."

Booth set her the few inches down to the ground before he turned and walked towards the door. "Because I have a surprise for you."

Her mouth opened for a moment as she watched him disappear into the bathroom. "What is it?" He didn't answer but she heard the shower start running. "Booth!"

XxXxXxX

"Bones, are you ready yet?" Booth asked impatiently from where he sat on her sofa.

"Almost!" She yelled, her voice muffled over the distance to the bathroom.

A few minutes later she emerged in a beautiful midnight blue sheath dress. "You don't think it's too tight?" Her hands tugged at the fabric around her waist, her voice became meek and insecure. "I'm going to need new clothes soon."

"Hey," he said as he got up from the couch and walked towards her. "You look beautiful. We'll tell everyone soon and then it wont matter. Plus where we're going tonight we wont see anyone we know."

"Really?" She looked up into his eyes questioningly. "Where are we going?"

Booth took her coat and draped it over her shoulders. "You'll see…"

Booth drove them in his SUV through the city. Temperance vaguely recognized that they were only blocks from the Jeffersonian and in a very extravagant part of the city. They drove a bit further before Booth pulled up in front of an apartment building.

"This looks like somewhere Jack and Angela would live, Booth." She stated confused. "What are we doing here?" The lobby guard opened her door and offered her a hand to step out.

"I thought you might like to live here with me Temperance." His grin was wide and goofy as he came around the SUV.

She smiled as he took her hand. "It's beautiful Booth."

"Well come on." He urged as he pulled her forward. "Let's go see the place I picked out for you."

"You've found us an apartment already?" She asked as they stepped into the elevator. "We just started looking last week. When did you have time to go out without me?"

"Trust me, Bones. I have my ways." He smiled. "I heard about this place from a few work buddies. Its security is amazing and it's very close to work."

She nodded. "It's a little extravagant though don't you think?"

The doors to the elevator opened and they found themselves on the eighteenth floor. "What'd I say about trust, Bones? Don't you think I know my girl?"

He lead her down the hall to a door that read '18B'. She noticed as she took in her surroundings that there were no other doors besides the stair, elevator and the door to 18A.

Temperance pondered how odd she thought that was until Booth used a key to open the door to the apartment. It was enormous to say the least. They could easily fit both Booth and Brennan's apartments in this larger one; which logically makes sense when figuring both of our stuff and two children, she thought.

Booth bit his lip as he watched her face. For once, he couldn't read her. Her face seemed too still, showing no dislike but at the same time not quite showing happiness. It took him a moment to realize that this new expression was one of awe.

"Booth, this is-" She spun around taking in the open kitchen and dinning room. "This is just unbelievable." Temperance suddenly notice the candle lit dinner set up on a blanket where the dining room table should be. "Is that dinner for me?"

He chuckled, "No it's for my lover coming in after you." Booth watched her frown and then saw her understanding of his joke. "Of course it's for you, Bones. This whole place is for you if you want it."

She was about to speak when his eyes lit with excitement. "Wait!" He pulled her arm. "There's something I know you'll love."

Booth led her to the patio, which hung high above the city but was contained with safe, solid brick walls that reached just above her waist. "See!" He cheered, showing her over to a six by two foot wooden box that stood at the height of her knee. "It's a-"

"Sustainability garden." She finished with a smile. "I love it."

"I thought you could teach Parker and the baby all about growing their own fruits and veggies." His smile was as wide as the Cheshire Cat's.

She wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her face to his chest. "It's wonderful Booth." Temperance felt a surge of emotion, of elation that she couldn't control. So instead she poured all her emotion into holding his body to hers.

"I'm so glad you like it." He said as he tightened his grasp around her. After a few moments of holding her closely in the cool DC air, Booth spoke. "Are you hungry?"

She pulled back and smiled up at him. "Starving. What'd you make?"

Booth blushed sheepishly as he led her to their picnic. "I tried to make your mac and cheese, but I'm afraid I'm not quite as good at it as you are."

Temperance laughed lightly. "Lucky for you, this pregnant woman will eat just about anything."

He smiled as he pulled her down to sit beside him. "I hope you remember what you said after you eat it." He began pulling food out of the picnic basket. "I also brought you some fresh fruit and a thermos of tea. And" he paused, "dessert."

"Ooh," she crooned, "I can't wait."

They enjoyed their meal together. Booth chuckled as she devoured the majority of the mac and cheese; moaning and humming at the apparently delicious taste. She sighed when they had finished.

"Wow Booth, that was amazing." She complimented as she wiped the corner of her mouth.

He laughed even deeper in his chest. "I could tell, but I do have to say I'm surprised. Are you ready for dessert?"

She sighed. "Uh, I think I might need to work off this full stomach first. How about you show me around?"

Booth nodded as he stood and helped her to her feet. They talked about how nice the rooms were and the gorgeous fixtures as they walked through the apartment.

The kitchen was to the right of the door with a breakfast nook that opened into the dining room. Across from the kitchen and dining room, to the left of the front door, was the large living room. The living room held the door to the patio. Across from the front door and through the living room was a hallway, which led to two small bedrooms and a bathroom at the end of the hall.

Finally off of the dining room was a secluded door that led to the large master bedroom. It was empty, except for the door that led to the master bathroom.

Temperance gasped. "Booth, this is incredible."

He pulled her arm and led her into the room. "Over here by the window we can put a nice chair for you to read and write." He paused and pulled her to the other side of the room. "And here is where we can keep the basinet when we first bring the baby home."

She smiled. "Right next to the bed." Temperance stated as she pulled him a few feet to the right.

Booth nodded as he held her close, as if they were dancing on top of their bed. He ran his hand through her hair as they shifted back and forth on their feet. His warm hand pressed her neck forward to meet his. Booth's lips met hers in a gentle but firm kiss.

Temperance ran her hand up the front of his chest. By the time her hands cradled his face, their kiss had grown passionate. They fought for dominance, pushing and pulling at one another as if somehow they weren't close enough to each other already.

She pulled back slightly, her breathing heavy and voice low. "Please, Booth."

Booth knew he couldn't fight her anymore, he couldn't fight it anymore; this raw need to be with her, to make love to her and never let her go. They fumbled for each other's clothing, pressing their lips together in sloppy urgent kisses. They continued their passion as they bent to kneel together. As Booth lowered her back to the floor, he broke their contact to look into her eyes. "I love you Temperance Brennan."

She smiled up at him, her eyes moist with the utter beauty of this man and his words. "I love you too."

Instantly their bodies connected once again in a blaze of passion and arousal. Together, they made love on the place that would soon hold their bed.
