A/N: Man, I'm really cranking these out. But the inspiration is there, keeping me going. Only five chapters left now. I'm having fun. And I hope you readers are as well. Thank you to those that review!

"Seeley!" She wailed from the bedroom. He ran in, stopping, breathless, in the doorframe.

"What…is…it?" He asked between deep breaths.

"It's time."

"Time? As in?"

"Yes."

"Okay. Wow. Okay." He runs over and helps her up.

"Do we need an ambulance?"

"No. They only started an hour ago. There is nothing to worry about yet." She said, and squeezed his hand as a pain shot through her.

"It's alright. Come on." He whispers in her ear, and helps her into the car.

Once at the hospital and everything is taken care of…

"Okay Dr. Brennan. It's time for you to bring your child into the world." The doctor said, sitting down. Brennan shook her head.

"Come on babe. You can do it." Seeley murmured and kissed her temple. Again, she shook her head.

"Here." He said, and put his hand out, palm up.

"Take it. Put your hand in mine and hold on. I will never let go, your hand will always be in mine." He whispered in her ear. She nodded and grasped tightly on, bring their daughter, Juliana, into the world, together.
