I already knew where this was going and now it's here. I might only make this a few more chapters… Some reviews had my plans spot on! Am I that predictable? I don't think you'll say that after this chapter!

"What's going on!" He yelled as he ran down the hallway of the hospital. He stopped in front of the secretary's desk. "Excuse me, I need to find Temperance Brennan."

"Are you family?" The young woman asked, typing on her terminal.

Booth ran a hand through his hair. "No… but I'm-"

She nodded her understanding. "Ah I see sir, you're wife is in room 238. Down the hall on the right."

Booth gave a half smile before turning and moving quickly down the hall. When he reached the door he found it slightly ajar. He walked in quietly and found her lying in a hospital bed, staring out the window.

"Hi, Bones." He said quietly, Booth approached the bed and reached a hand up to caress her face and hair.

She turned towards him with her eyes hazy from crying, a sad smile on her face. "Booth…"

"It's going to be okay Bones. Shh." He climbed up into the bed beside her to cradle her body in his arms.

She turned into him completely and he held him to her. "The doctor hasn't come in yet."

He nodded and kissed her forehead. "Well, let's just wait and see what she says okay?"

"Okay." Temperance looked up into his eyes. "Booth, I was so scared. Hodgins, he-"

"Hodgins?" Booth interrupted. "He was there with you?"

She nodded. "He got me here and made sure someone called you and Angela. They're in the waiting room."

I didn't even see them. He never thought he say it, but thank God for Hodgins. "So what happened?"

"I collapsed. I had started having a few cramps earlier in the day but I thought it was just the beginnings of morning sickness." She wiped her damp cheek. "I fell and there was some blood. Hodgins was really great."

Her breathing was heavy with distress as she recalled the rest of the event in short sentences.

"It's okay Bones." He soothed. "Everything will be okay."

Logically, she wasn't convinced. But something in the way Booth said those words made her want to believe him.

"Hello Temperance, Agent Booth." Dr. Savenger said bringing in an ultrasound machine.

Booth nodded as Temperance spoke. "Dr. Savenger, what's going on?"

The doctor sat on the stool beside the bed. With a sigh and a grim look she began, "Our preliminary findings are that your body has aborted the embryo."

"Are you sure?" Booth asked in a choked voice.

Dr. Savenger nodded. "We were able to identify some of the products of conception."

"So you believe it was an incomplete abortion?" Temperance stated, her voice flat.

"Yes that is correct." The doctor confirmed.

"Wait, I don't understand." Booth said shaking his head. "What does that mean?"

"It means that the embryo partially extricated from my uterus and there are remnants of the embryo intact." This voice was not the one of the obstetrician but his girlfriend.

He looked at her wide-eyed. "This is our child your talking about, Temperance." His voice was full of disbelief that she could still remain unconnected to this being that had been inside her. It broke his heart.

After a moment of silence, Dr. Savenger continued. "Temperance, I'm going to do an ultrasound first to see what may be still intact and then we'll discuss our options."

Temperance nodded. This would be her first ultrasound… not quite as she imagined. Her breath hiccupped as she raised her shirt, it surprised her to see her baby bump there with no baby inside.

Booth turned away and ran his hands over his face. He needed to pull himself together; for her, for them.

"Okay, let's turn this on and it'll be over quick." The doctor ran the wand of the ultrasound over Temperance's stomach. After a moment her brow furrowed but a slight quirk came to her lip. "You're not going to believe this."

Booth snapped back to her side. Instantly her hand found his. "What is it, Doctor?"

Temperance tried to make out the ultrasound but instead looked hurriedly between the monitor and the doctor.

"It seems that you still have a strong and viable embryo." The doctor smiled.

"So she didn't miscarry?" Booth asked, excitement hinting in his voice.

The doctor paused her movements to look at the couple seriously. "I'm sorry, although there is one viable embryo; I can confirm that you did miscarry the other embryo."

"The other?" Temperance questioned.

Dr. Savenger nodded. "It seems you might have had fraternal twins."

Temperance sat there in awe for a moment before looking up at Booth. He spoke her thoughts before she had the change to speak. "The other one is healthy though?"

The doctor grinned brightly. "I know you were supposed to have your first ultrasound next week but would you like to meet it?"

Booth looked down at Brennan. Her face was unreadable, but she nodded. "Yes." Came her soft reply.

With the click of a button, a soft flutter filled the room. "That spot there is your baby."

The couple stared at the screen, listening to the strong heartbeat of their baby.

"I'll give you two a minute." The doctor excused herself.

Once the doctor had left the room, Booth spoke. "See Bones, that's our baby. Not just an embryo. Don't you think-" He stopped as he realized her body was shaking.

She was sobbing. Sobbing with grief, sobbing with joy. Her mind and body couldn't process the loss and yet miracle that had just occurred. Her baby was safe, their baby. "That's our baby, Booth."

He nodded with a half smile. His feelings of hurt at her disconnect completely gone. "Yeah, Bones." He kissed her forehead. "It is."

Booth held her tightly as her emotions surged and ebbed. Her breathing became regular and she seemed to relax in his arms. "I'm so sorry, Booth."

"For what, Bones? You didn't know this was going to happen." He assured, stroking her hair.

She shrugged. "I know but I feel… responsible. We created not just one child but two and now we've lost one."

He saw the emotions beginning to stir again and held her face up in his hands. "Hey, we can be sad but let's still be grateful that we have a healthy baby and a healthy mommy."

She began to cry again instantly. "Bones, what is it?"

Temperance smiled up at him through her water filled eyes. "I'm going to be a mommy."

They laughed together for a moment at her words. It seemed so strange to say out loud but it was true.

They sat together for a moment before her eyes started to drift softly shut and she gave in to her exhaustion. He sat forward and kissed her forehead. "I love Temperance."

"Knock knock." Said the artist softly as she entered the room.

Booth turned quickly and held a finger to his lips. He stood and kissed Brennan one last time before walking to the doorway to greet Angela and Hodgins.

"We saw the doctor leave and figure it was okay to come in." Hodgins shrugged.

"Yeah, she was just telling me that they are keeping Bones overnight." He exhaled deeply. "Which I think is good, she's clearly exhausted."

The couple nodded and waited in silence for a moment. "So…" Angela questioned. "Did she- is the baby okay?"

Booth gave her a sad smile. "We lost one but we have another healthy baby."

Angela beamed. "There were two?"

Booth nodded with a smile. Hodgins stood wide-eyed. "Wow, do you know that the chance of having twins with one miscarriage is like one in…." He drifted off, instantly reminding them all of their dear fact spouting friend. "That's really a blessing man." Hodgins said as he offered Booth a handshake.

Booth took his friends hand and held it firmly and clasped his other on the entomologist's shoulder. "Jack." Booth said, his lip shaking slightly from the gratitude he was feeling. "I cannot thank you enough for what you did today. I'm so grateful that you could be there when I-"

"Hey" Hodgins interrupted, clasping his other hand on their joined hands. "I know you'd take care of Angela if I couldn't. I love her too, Booth. She's one of my closest friends."

Booth nodded as he release Hodgins. He shook his head, hoping to remove his strong emotions.

"Hey," Angela stepped forward and put a hand on his arm. "It's not your fault Booth."

Booth shook his head as if to refute her statement but he couldn't form he words.

"Nah, man. I didn't know and I was right there with her." Hodgins encouraged.

"No," Angela began again. "She told me about last night, Booth. It's not your fault. These things just happen sometimes."

Booth nodded. "I know, you're probably right but I can't help worrying that we might have done something to… aggravate the situation."

"Booth," Angela comforted. "You know as well as I do, that God works in his own ways. What happens is meant to be."

He nodded again before taking a deep breath. "You're right. I'm just so grateful that they're okay."

Booth was looking at Brennan asleep in her hospital bed. Angela ran soothing lines down his arms from where she stood behind him. Hodgins smiled, "They're going to be okay, man. This is Temperance Brennan we're talking about, she'll get her way."

Angela and Booth gave a small laugh.

"Are you listening to what I said Dr. Hodgins?" Came a groggy voice from the bed.

The three of them rushed to each side of the bed to greet their awakening friend and partner. "Hey Sweetie." Angela spoke. Hodgins waved beside her.

"Hi Bones." Booth said, sheepishly.

She turned and looked at him almost confused, "Was Jack not doing what I asked? I heard him say I wouldn't get my way."

Booth laughed lightly. "No Bones, we're in the hospital remember?"

After a moment she nodded. "Yeah. I remember now." She turned her hazy gaze to her friend and smiled lazily. "I'm going to be a mom."

Angela laughed and took her friends hand. "I know Sweetie. And while you're at it, I was wondering if you and Booth would be Michael's godparents?"

Temperance smiled and became somewhat more alert. "Really?" Angela nodded. "I don't practice religion but I've begun to believe that some traditions are important. And I also concede that it would make Booth very happy if I participated in religious traditions with our child as well."

The three friends smiled knowingly. "So?" Hodgins asked.

Temperance stared blankly. "Oh, I'm sorry was that not clear? Yes, I would like to begin said practices by being Michael's godmother." She smiled brightly.

Booth nodded in agreement. "I'd be honored." He reached out and shook Jack's hand.

"Boys can you give us a minute alone?" Angela asked the men.

They nodded. "I'll be right back, Bones." Booth kissed her forehead before exiting the room reluctantly.

Angela sat on the bed by her friend's leg. "So Bren, I know this has been an exciting day. How are you feeling?"

Temperance sighed. "Sad, but happy to. For different reasons, I guess." Angela nodded her understanding. "What about Booth? Do you think he's okay?"

Angela laid a hand on her friend's leg. "It was exactly the best timing with you two finally doing the deed again but I think he'll get over it."

Brennan frowned. "By 'doing the deed', do you mean making love?" Angela laughed and nodded. "Shit, he's never going to touch me again."

Angela patted her friend's leg. "He will honey, he'll just need gentle encouragement. He was very worried about you, he even let the secretary call you his wife."

"He did?" Temperance asked.

Angela nodded, if she didn't know any better she could have sworn she heard excitement in her best friends voice.
