A WEEK LATERTempe giggled softly as Booth kissed her again.
"Wow, Booth, who knew we'd end up here?" she asked with a smile.
They both looked at each other for a moment.
"Angela," the said at the same time.
Temperance looked over at Booth with a smile and said, "Ange always knew, didn't she?"
"I think she did," Booth said, smiling at her.
Tempe rested her head on Booth's shoulder. "Do you think that this relationship will go anywhere, or will it end up like all the others?" she asked, pursing her lips.
Booth took her chin in his forefinger and thumb. "I have a feeling that it will."
"Is the feeling in your gut?" Tempe asked.
"Maybe," Booth smiled down at her and kissed her again, slowly rolling them over.
XXXXXXXXXX
Angela looked over at her fiancée, who was lying asleep. She touched his hair and the felt her baby kick.
She smiled, even though it was an odd sensation, she was used to having her baby kicking already.
Suddenly, Angela felt something wet all over the bed by her legs and she knew what had happened.
"Jack? Jack baby wake up," Angela said, shaking him lightly. When he didn't wake up she yelled, "My water just broke!"
Hodgins shot up and looked at her in shock and awe.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"No, I just felt the baby kick and then water went everywhere a few seconds later, but I'm not really sure," she said sarcastically.
"Ok, ok, ok," Hodgins said, sounding more like he was the one about to give birth. "But… but you're early!"
"I know Jack! I'm going to call Brennan and Booth and tell them to meet us at the hospital," Angela said, grabbing their home phone.
XXXXXXXXXX
Tempe rolled over Booth and grabbed her cell phone which was ringing. "Hello?" she said tiredly.
Booth opened his eyes a little and felt Tempe's warm body laying over top of his torso. He closed his eyes again.
"What?" Tempe said, sitting up strait, holding the sheet around her body. "Now? Alright, I'll be there in a few minutes."
Booth looked at her concerned face. "What's the matter?"
"Angela's water broke," Tempe said, already climbing out of bed and collecting her bra and underwear that lay on the floor. She pulled them on and grabbed a knee-high skirt and a tank top and pulled them on as well.
"Isn't she only at about six months or something," Booth asked, sitting up and rubbing his eyes.
"Yes," Tempe said, grabbing Booth's boxers and tossing them to him. "That's why we have to be there."
Booth pulled on his boxers and pants, and then searched the floor for his shirt. Once he found it, he also found his socks lying near it.
Tempe grabbed a pair of boots and her jacket, then grabbed Booth's jacket. "Come on!" she yelled, already opening the door.
Booth came out of the room, pulling on his socks.
Tempe tossed his shoes to him. "Hurry up!"
One of Booth's shoes hit him in the stomach and the other he caught. "Careful where you throw those Bones," he said, pulling them on and following her out the door.
Once they arrived at the hospital, Tempe and Booth walked up to the reception desk.
"Hello, we're here for Angela Montenegro?" Tempe said, in a slightly out of breath voice.
"Ms. Montenegro… Ah, here so is," the receptionist said. "She's in room 206. What is your business with her?"
"I'm Dr. Temperance Brennan," she said.
"Ok, come on, you can wait in here," the woman led Tempe over to a waiting room. "She's just getting checked, then you can go in."
The doctor came out a second later.
"So can we go in and see her?" Tempe asked him.
"Who are you?"
"Dr. Temperance Brennan, she's my best friend!" Tempe exclaimed.
"Oh, ok, then yes, go right ahead," the doctor said, stepping out of the way.
Tempe walked into the room, followed by Booth. "Hey Ange," she said with a smile.
"Brennan! I'm so glad you came!" Angela grabbed her friends hand. "I'm really nervous."
"It's ok Angela," Tempe said, with a small smile. "It'll be ok."
"I know, but…" Angela gave a small shriek. "Ouch ouch ouch!" she said as a contraction came.
"How long have you been in labor?"
"My back has been hurting all day… I didn't think anything of it though, I mean, I'm a pregnant woman, my stomach makes my back sore. But then I remembered that your back being sore can mean you're having contractions."
Tempe nodded. "It can."
"Now that I realize that though, I'm really nervous!" Angela said. "But also excited!"
"What do the doctors say you're at?" Temperance asked.
"9," Ange said, with a little smile.
"Already?" Booth asked, and Hodgins who was sitting beside Angela nodded.
"Wow," Booth said, smiling. "I remember when Rebecca…" he cut himself short.
Tempe glanced up and saw pain in Booth's face.
The doctor walked back in. "Alright Ms. Montenegro," he said. "Time to check. Gentlemen? Would you please step just outside?"
Hodgins and Booth stepped outside and heard another shriek as Angela had another contraction.
"How are you doin' man?" Booth asked.
"Scared and excited," Hodgins said, his sea blue eyes sparkling.
"Yeah, I know the feeling…"
"All right, you can go back in, it'll be about twenty more minutes and we'll be ready for the baby," the doctor said as he walked back out.
Booth and Hodgins went back into the room.
The four talked for about twenty minutes, and Angela's contractions started to come more often.
1 per every three minutes.
"Baby's ready to come," the doctor said, walking back in. "Will you two please step out and daddy? Could you put on a hair net and a smock?"
Hodgins nodded and pulled on the smock and hairnet.
"Doctor?" a nurse said from the foot of the delivery bed. "The baby, it's…" she got too quiet to hear.
They heard the doctor curse.
"What's the matter with my baby!?" Angela snapped.
"You know how we said that it would be a natural birth? Well it seems that won't work. You need a C section."
"What?" Angela asked. "You said it… fine, you know what? Whatever. I just want to see my baby."
"All right Ms. Montenegro, Dr. Hodgins, this will be a short procedure," the doctor began.
"I know what it involves," Angela said, slightly snappy. "Please, just get it over with."
Fifteen minutes later, the doctor pulled a healthy baby girl from Angela's tired body. They sutured Angela up again and then the doctor came over.
"Ms. Montenegro? Dr. Hodgins? May I introduce you to your new baby girl?" he said, setting the infant into Angela's arms.
"Oh my god, she's beautiful!" Angela said, looking down at her baby girl. Temperance and Booth walked back in.
"Congratulations Angela," Tempe said, not really understanding why a woman needed to have a child to feel whole, but she thought that this wasn't the time, nor place to say it.
"Thanks Bren," Angela said, with tears in her eyes. She handed her daughter to Hodgins.
At that moment, she opened her eyes and looked up at her daddy. Hodgins saw that she had the same colour eyes as him, sea blue.
Temperance smiled at Angela, she couldn't help but think that this little baby was beautiful.
The next thing she heard was: "Hold her."
Tempe looked up to see Angela looking at her.
"What?" she asked.
"Hold her, hold my baby," Angela smiled.
"You… me… I don't think it's a good idea Ange," Tempe said.
"Temperance, hold her," Angela said firmly. "Jack, make Brennan hold her."
Hodgins moved over to where Brennan and Booth were and placed the baby in Tempe's arms.
She felt the little girl's every breath and Tempe felt a tear come to her eye. She had only ever held one baby before.
"Angela," she began.
"She's beautiful, isn't she?" Ange said.
"Very," Tempe smiled up at Angela.
"Me and Jack decided that for a girl, the name would be Allisson May."
"Allisson May is the perfect name," Tempe said, glancing down at the baby again.
She looked up at Booth. "You hold her."
"Ok," Booth said. He took the baby from Temperance's arms and coddled her. He talked to her quietly.
Angela looked over at Tempe and motioned for her to come closer. "He's a great father," she whispered. "Just watch him."
Tempe looked back over at Booth, who was rocking the baby gently, and then she nodded in agreement.
Seeing this little girl had changed Tempe's mind about children. She really would want to have a child now…
