Chapter 10 at your service. Short but at least it will keep the readers at bay…

"I'll be by to pick you up later today. How's three?" Booth asked as they neared the Jeffersonian Institute.

"Booth." She whined in response. "My work day ends at five. I don't even normally leave until six."

"Temperance, you're two weeks away from your due date. If it was up to me you'd be in bed." At his comment Tempe raised an eyebrow. "Bed rest." He corrected.

"But it's not up to you. The doctor said that there was no reason I shouldn't be able to work up until the third." As she spoke, she absent mindedly twirled the ring on her right hand, an action that did not go unnoticed by Booth.

He smiled. "Humor me Bones. I just want you to take it easy."

"Fine." She pouted as he pulled the car to a stop.

Booth chuckled lightly as he leaned closer to her. "I love you."

A smile grew on her face as he spoke the words. "Love you too." She closed the distance between them and placed a soft kiss on his lips. "See you at five." She said quickly as she climbed out of the SUV.

Booth laughed. "Nice try Bones. Don't tempt me, I can easily drag you out of here at two." He called after her.

In response, she turned around and stuck out her tongue before walking towards the building.

Booth watched the woman he loved walk into the building before driving away. As he drove he smiled to himself as he remember the way she waddled as she walked. Honestly, Booth was surprised at the way this pregnancy had changed her. She was less guarded when it came to her interactions, as if she suddenly felt human due to the fact that she was going to be a mother. He was amazed at himself as well. Booth had never thought that he would love another persons child as much as he loved Parker and yet he loved Temperance's child just as equally as he loved her and Parker. They were the three most important people in his life, and Booth would do anything for any of them.

The Lab

The loud screams of Angela Montenegro filled the lab. Eyes were drawn to the place of its origin: Dr. Temperance Brennan's office.

"Angela. Calm down." Tempe laughed as her best friend examined the platinum ring on her hand where they sat together on the couch. "Its not even an engagement ring."

"Sweetie, you almost sound disappointed." Angela responded. "I thought you didn't believe in marriage."

"I didn't." Tempe sighed as she removed her hand from Angela's grasp and placed it in her lap. "I love Booth, Ange. And I love this baby. I know that I want to spend the rest of my life with the two of them and create a life that is best for all of us."

Angela smiled at her friend's statement. "I'm so happy for you."

Tempe lifted her hand to wipe a tear from her friend's cheek. "Why are you crying?"

Angela mimicked Tempe's movements. "For the same reason you are I'd wager."

The two women smiled. "No I'm just hormonal."
