A/N:I'M backkkkk yes I know it's a quick update….I just really wanted the last sentence
to end that last chapter. I decided it was fitting. Haha.
Brennan froze. She wasn't sure if she wanted to have this conversation with him now. She din't want to do it this way. This could end up going like it did last time.
"I don't think now is the best time to talk about this." She sighed silently cursing Cory for mentioning this to him.
Please don't pull away from me now Bones.
She took his hand and walked him to their bedroom. Breaking the silence she asked him averting her eyes. "Cory told you, didn't he?"
"Is it so wrong that he did Bones?"
Bones please say something
When she finally spoke her voice was soft, and barely a whisper. "Maybe."
WHAT! Maybe another child? This is so a dream he thought to himself. I adore this woman completely. She's going to marry me, and maybe wants another child. Way too good to be true. He was becoming happier by the second.
"You do? I thought you told me you hated being pregnant?"
She panicked. Oh wow what if he doesn't want anymore kids? Why did I have to say anything? "Do you not want another child Booth?"
"What? Yes..i mean no of course I want to have another child with you."
"Well the pregnancy part…it's frustrating and painful towards the end but once it happens I cant exactly take it back you know."
He grinned at her as she smiled back at him.
"How long, Bones."
Damn he was good. " Four months, and yeah that was the secret."
"So di you want to get married before or after?"
She shook her head.
"No?"
"Next month Booth"
"Bones, you are just full of surprised."
She grinned at him mischeviously. " I like to keep you guessing."
"I think we should tell the boys separately though Booth. Cory has been exerting some highly nervous, and fearful behavior towards us having another child. Maybe he fears he would be forgotten or overlooked once the baby is born. Russ said when he found out about me he felt somewhat like that."
Booth simply nodded in agreement with her logic.
I'll tell Parker , and you should tell Cory Booth." She said knowing telling Parker a second time would be easier. "I will talk to Cory, also. I just feel it best for you to talk with him first."
Parker suddenlt walked in. His arms were crossed and he was tapping his foot impatiently like an angry parent.
"Yes Parker?" asked Brennan innocently.
"Photosynthesis Won't explain itself Mom!"
"Right, okay Bye Booth. Good luck with that talk." Finished Brennan just barely before Parker had yanked her from the room.
Cory walked into the room after they'd left padding his socked feet to find his dad as his mother had told him to on her way to explain photosynthesis.
"Daddy? You in here?" Booth's head suddenly appeared from behind the closet door.
"Hey buddy, what'cha up to?"
"OH, nothing mommy said you wanted to talk to me?"
"Oh, yeah I-"
Suddenly Cory quickly interrupted Booth with an outburst of: "I uh…Parker did it!" Booth couldn't help laughing now. "Sit down son." Cory sat crossed legged down on their bed in front of Booth and listened intently.
"Well, you and Parker are going to have another sibling in a couple of months."
He scrunched up his face in confusion. "What's uh..sibling?"
"Just another word for brother or sister Cory."
Booth decided getting it out straight would be the best approach with his very intelligent three-year-old. Cory appeared to be quite upset with the news. Not good thought Booth.
"Why?" asked Cory in a harsher tone than necessary. He then added
"You and mommy are going to forget about me now!"
"Cory, son we never forgot about Parker when you were born!"
Brennan heard the commotion from down the hall. So she went in the room.
Cory looked at her and spoke calmly. He was more afraid of his mother than his father that was evident.
"Mommy why? Don't you love me anymore?"
