This is going to be interesting...

Let me know what you think.

R&R please!


Nine and a half months later.

The delivery room was bustling and Brennan was in her tenth hour of labor. Despite Booth being a strong man, he had to admit to himself (not out loud for fear of being punched) that his hand was really starting to hurt from her strong grip.

Unbeknownst to the nurses, doctors and budding family in the room, two people stood in the corner of the delivery room watching the events taking place.

"So, we did it." The woman said to the man standing next to her.

The man smiled, "I can't believe it." He said shaking his head, "We actually changed the outcome of the future."

"We're extremely good at undercover work." The woman smiled at him.

The man laughed and nudged her shoulder, "I always told you we make a good team." He said winking at her.

"So," The woman said obviously thinking in depth, "This means when the Wilson case comes up next month…"

"You will be on maternity leave and I won't be assigned to it." He said nodding his head.

"And we won't die in the hostage situation." She nodded.

"Exactly." The man affirmed.

The woman nodded in understanding, "So, time will sync up and we won't remember any of this." She said.

"Right." He said, watching his daughter crowning.

The woman laughed, "It's very strange watching myself give birth to our daughter." She laughed.

The man laughed and put his arm around her, "It's too bad we won't be able to remember anything from this point of view." He laughed.

She laughed and elbowed him in the stomach, "Booth!" she exclaimed.

He winced and grabbed his stomach, "Why do you always have to hit, Bones?"

"You deserved it." She argued, "Do you think that I knew that it was you?" she asked.

He looked at her, furrowing his brow in confusion, "Knew who was me?" he asked.

"Anthony Gallo. Do you think I knew that you were pretending to be your god father?"

He shrugged, "I don't know, Bones." He sighed, "I don't think we'll ever really know how this happened. I'm not quite sure that I understand myself. I never thought that we could change the future and keep us from dying after we've already died."

"It is extremely baffling." She said smiling up at him, "But I guess there is always a loophole somewhere."

He laughed, "I'm just… really sad this isn't how it really happened the first time. I've been in love with you since… practically since I've known you. It's a shame that we needed help from the beyond to actually get to this." He said gesturing at the scene before them.

"One more push, Temperance!" The obstetrician shouted in excitement.

"Come on, baby." Booth said excitedly, "You can do this." He said, pushing back a strand of sweaty hair behind her ear.

Brennan looked up at him and their eyes locked, "Booth!" she cried, "I don't think I can." She whimpered.

He leaned down and kissed her temple and whispered into her ear, "You can do anything, Temperance. Nothing has ever gotten in your way; this is Frankie, baby. Do it for Frankie." He encouraged.

Temperance nodded and took a big breath and pushed. In a moment there was a loud piercing cry in the room and Temperance collapsed back on the pillows behind her. Booth laughed loudly and kissed her again, wiping her forehead with a cool towel, "You did it!" he exclaimed, smiling at her.

Brennan smiled weakly and brought her hand up to his cheek, "It's you and me." She whispered.

"You and me." He replied.

The man and the woman in the corner smiled brightly and looked at each other, "What do we do now?" she asked him.

He pulled her close to him and kissed her, "We wait." He said.

She nodded and they both walked over to the area where they were checking the baby's vitals and looked at their new born child. The woman looked up at him, "From now on, promise me that we won't hesitate anymore." She said shaking her head and looking down at their child, "Not when the outcome is this beautiful."

They leaned down to study their baby, "Never again." He whispered to her and gently kissed his child's head.

"Here she is." The nurse said placing the baby in Brennan's arms.

Temperance stared wide eyed at the baby in front of her; a perfect mixture of herself and her love. She gently stroked the child's cheek, "Hello Frankie." She said softly.

Booth was leaning over her and the child studying her face and rubbing Temperance's back, "She's gorgeous." He said to her.

Temperance looked up at Booth and smiled, "Our little girl." She said, giggling.

"I'm starting to think we should have done this sooner." He laughed.

She glowed as she looked at her baby, "I think you're right." She said.

Booth put his hand on the baby's small torso and she gripped his finger tightly. He gasped, "She got her mom's strength." He laughed.

Temperance laughed, "From now on Booth, we shouldn't hesitate in doing the things that we're scared of."

Booth looked at her, "Like… I don't know, maybe getting married?" he asked.

Brennan laughed, "Maybe." She said suggestively.

"Okay." He said looking down at their child, "No more hesitating." He said.

"Never again." Brennan said, cradling the child to her chest.

THE END!
