Chapter 11. I was planning to wait for a while to post this but I was just SO excited I couldn't wait. I rewrote the end section SO many times, I think the final draft is the best. Enjoy.

"Booth they're going to be here any minute!" Tempe yelled from the upstairs master bedroom.

"I know Bones!" Booth rolled his eyes.

"Did you get everything I need to cook the feast tomorrow?" She asked for possibly the third time that day as she descended the stairs slowly. One hand over her enormous mid-section while the other slide down the railing gracefully.

She was a vision. Her dark blue dress came to her knees. Over the spaghetti straps she wore a light blue sweater. "You look beautiful Temperance." Booth commented as he assisted her down the last few steps.

"Yeah, the bunnies add a nice touch." She replied as she glanced around her belly at her slipper-clad feet.

Booth smiled as he placed a kiss on her cheek. "I'll just go make sure everything is set in the spare bedroom for Lydia and Thomas."

Tempe nodded and watched as the man she loved walked down the hall. She placed her hand on the right side of her swollen abdomen as a kick beat against her palm. "Don't worry baby, Daddy will be back soon. And Grandma Lydia and Uncle Tom will be here later tonight. They're staying for Thanksgiving. And-" suddenly Tempe felt a rush and then a dampness down her legs and around her feet.

"Tempe who were you-" As he walked down the hallway Booth stopped short as he noticed the puddle of liquid on the floor.

"Booth?" She called in a nervous voice.

"It's time baby. We let's go." Booth said as he grabbed their coats. "We'll call the Cross' on the way."

The Hospital

"How are you holding up, sweetie?" Angela asked as she entered the room with a cup of ice chips and a manila folder in her hands.

"Hey Ange." Tempe sighed, her hair was disheveled and sweat covered her forehead. "I'm fine. Are those the papers I asked you to get from my office?"

Angela nodded. "What are they for anyway? Now really isn't a good time to be working."

"Its no big deal. Booth didn't see these did he?" Tempe asked as she took them from her friend.

"Nah, he was too busy talking to Lydia and Thomas. Is the pain bad?" Angela asked with a grimace.

"Its bearable." Tempe shrugged. "The contractions are getting closer together and more painful."

"Well sweetie, you shouldn't have refused the drugs." Angela smiled as she placed a cool washcloth on her friend's forehead.

"Angela, women have been giving birth without drugs since the beginning of time. If they can do it successfully, so can I." As Tempe finished Booth entered the room. She quickly placed the manila folder in the bedside drawer. "Plus, the baby is in good position and seeing as how he or she is a little early, the baby isn't too big yet."

"Did she tell you what she did?" Booth interrupted, his tone showing a hint of frustration.

"No sweetie." She turned to Tempe. "What did you do?"

Temperance let out an exasperated sigh. "I had been experiencing back pain all day. Its not a big deal." She rolled her eyes.

"Those were contractions Bones!" As he began pacing, Booth ran a hand through his hair.

"Booth its not like they could have done anything for me here even if I had told you." She argued back.

"Bren, you didn't tell him?" Angela struggled to understand the oncoming fight.

"What was the point?" She raised her voice slightly, causing a glare from one of the nurses. "He just would have 'freaked out' like he is now." Her use of air quotes would have brought a smile to his lips, if he weren't so frustrated.

"She has a point Booth." Angela agreed. Under Booth's intense glare, Angela excused herself, placing a kiss to her friend's temple. "I love you all. Try not to kill each other, this baby needs you both."

Booth stood looking out the window. His hands on his hips, pushing his jacket back away from his body. Once Angela had left, Booth spoke as calmly as he could manage. "Why do you have to be so damn stubborn and selfish, Temperance. Its like you don't even want me here."

Before she could respond another contraction ripped through her abdomen. At her screams Booth rushed to her side, taking her hand in his. "Get away from me!" She yelled. "If you think I'm so selfish then leave." Tempe let out another scream through gritted teeth.

"Sir perhaps you should leave." The nurse said, in hopes of putting the mother-to-be at peace. "Only father's are allowed in the room during the delivery as it is."

"We're almost ready you two." Dr. Jackson said as she entered the room. "What's going on here?"

"I asked that this gentlemen leave. His presence is disturbing out patient." The nurse responded.

The doctor nodded in response. "Agent Booth, would you please?"

Booth cast one more glance at Temperance who was still doubled over, avoiding his gaze before heading towards the door. As Booth placed his hand on the doorknob another scream filled the room.

"Booth?" As quickly as his name came from her lips, he was by her side.

"I'm right here. Don't worry." Booth soothed as he stroked her hair. "I'm sorry for what I said."

"I am too. I want you here. I need you." Tempe gritted her teeth as another pain shot through her. "We need you."

Booth placed a kiss to her temple as the doctor gave them instructions. "Temperance are you ready?"

With a nod, she gripped Booth's hand tighter.

Twenty-seven minutes later, Booth was handed a small bundle. He sat down beside Temperance and placed the baby in her arms.

"You were amazing." Booth said as he placed a chaste kiss on her lips. "I'm so proud of you."

Tempe's smile was a picture of radiance. Tears brimmed her eyes as she held her child for the first time.

"Congratulations, you two. What are you going to name her?" Dr. Jackson said after she had removed her gloves and came to stand by Tempe's other side.

Temperance smiled up at Booth. "Sienna Justine Booth."

"Beautiful." The doctor commented. "I'll leave you two alone. You can bring your family in whenever you're ready."

Booth waited for the doctor to leave before addressing Tempe. "Bones, don't you want to use your own last name?"

Temperance placed a kiss on Sienna's forehead as she rocked her gently in her arms. "Booth, reach into that drawer and pull out that folder." Hesitantly, he did as he was told. "Now open it."

Booth pulled the papers from the folder and held them in front of him as he read. "Adoption papers?" He looked at her, his eyes brimming with tears.

"Well," She sighed as she moved her left hand into view, where the platinum ring had been switched to. "If were going to make this official it doesn't make sense for our daughter to have a different last name."

Booth sat down on the bed facing the two girls he loved more than anything on this Earth. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Temperance nodded as she leaned forward. "With every fiber of my being." Booth cupped her face in his hands as he closed the distance between them.

"Geez man." Came a voice from the doorway. "Not even a half hour and you're ready for another one?"

Angela slapped Jack's arm. "We're sorry." She said with an apologetic look. "We were all getting a bit antsy out there."

"Come on in everyone." Booth said as he situated himself beside his fiancée. Wow, fiancée. He thought. Booth wrapped his arm around Tempe's shoulder as his other one played with his daughter's hand while the gang filed in. Jack and Angela, Zach, and the Cross'.

"Everyone" Temperance announced. "This is Sienna Justine Booth."

"Justine, meaning justice." Zach enlightened. "Quite appropriate."

Lydia and Thomas shared a loving look, as tears sprung to their eyes. "Also a feminine form of our sons name." Thomas said as he gave the protégé a pat on the back.

"Why Booth's last name, sweetie? I would have thought, that with feminist views and so and so, she would be inheriting your name." Angela asked, fishing for information as usual.

"Well, once I change my name it doesn't make since to be introducing ourselves as 'Mr. & Mrs. Booth and our baby Sienna Brennan." Tempe laughed.

Before Angela had the chance to scream, Booth held up a hand. "Contain yourself Ange. The baby is sleeping."

"Can I at least hold her?" Angela begged as she inched closer to the bed.

"Sure." Tempe kissed Sienna's bonnet before passing her off to her best friend. "Angela I'd like you to meet your goddaughter, Sienna. Sienna this is your Auntie Ange."

As she took the small bundle from her best friends arms, Angela gave Tempe a curious look. "Bren, I thought you didn't believe in God. I mean I honored and all but-"

"I know." Tempe sighed slightly as Booth leaned down and placed a kiss to the top of her head. "But Booth is a devout Catholic and I know it would mean a lot to him for this baby to share in that faith."

Angela nodded as she carried Sienna back to where Jack stood. "She is beautiful." Jack said as he leaned over his girlfriend's shoulder.

"I want one, Jack." Cooed Angela as she rocked Sienna back and forth. "Will you be my baby's daddy?"

Across the room Booth laughed at Jack's shocked look. "Maybe in a few years babe. How about we just practice making them for now." Angela flashed him a sultry wink before passing Sienna to Lydia.

The entire room watched as tears glistened in the new grandmother's eyes. After a few moments Lydia carried Sienna back to Temperance. As she set the baby in its mother's arms, Lydia placed a kiss on Tempe's cheek. "Thank you for this, Temperance."

Temperance smiled back at the kind woman and then to her friends. As she looked up at the man beside her she saw the tears that were slowly falling from his eyes. "Could you excuse us for a little bit guys?"

Everyone nodded in response. "We'll stop by the house tomorrow to see you. Love you all."

"Love you too, Ange." Temperance replied before taking Booth's hand and pulling him down on the bed to face her. "Seeley what's wrong?"

Booth smiled as he wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. "I'm just amazed is all."

She let out a small, quiet laugh. "Booth, having a baby isn't that bad."

"We that too." He bent down and kissed the squirming little girl's forehead before letting out an intense sigh. "I don't deserve any of this, Temperance."

"Booth, that's ridiculus-" She began to protest before Booth held up his hand to quiet her.

"Tempe," he placed his hand on her cheek and stroke her soft skin with his knuckles. "You gave me a daughter that I have no right to. You're giving me you're future despite the fact that you don't believe in marriage. And to top the list you're letting your daughter be a part of my religion when you don't even believe in God. I feel like you're giving me so much and I haven't given you anything."

"Hold out your arms." Tempe ordered suddenly.

Booth looked confused. "What?"

"Seeley Christopher Booth, hold out your arms." She had never used his middle name before and he knew that she was serious. Once his arms were out Temperance placed Sienna in the crook of his elbow. "Seeley," she sighed. "I trust you with my life, I trust you with my heart, and now I'm trusting you with our daughter. There is no person more deserving or worthy of our love. And there is no one I would rather love." With both of her hands on his cheeks, Temperance brought his lips to hers. Amidst their passion filled kiss the sounds of gentle cooing came from the bundle in Booth's arms. The couple looked down to see Sienna open her tiny blue eyes for the first time.

OH so fluffyness. Thanksgiving is next. Leave a review please.
