Hi all! So I wound up getting a second chapter up today! (Yay me!) I will probably be getting two more up tomorrow was well, I've been sick with the plague all weekend and I don't think mom will make me go to school tomorrow. (Not that I'm complaining or anything. Eighth grade sucks, I'm constantly surrounded by idiots.)

Anyways, hope you enjoy this chapter!

*REMEMBER TO REVIEW!*

Booth rolled over with a sigh, putting his back to Hannah. He had just recently woken up from another, what he classified as 'naughty', dream about Brennan. The dreams were becoming more and more graphic, like the one he'd just had of her loosing control underneath of him. They all felt so real, like they were some distant memory, but he knew they couldn't be. Hell, if he'd had sex with Brennan he'd definitely remember it, he'd been fantasizing about it for so long that it was almost a sin.

He looked at the clock on the bedside table, eight-thirty-seven glared back at him in neon green numbers. Though during he and Hannah's honeymoon he had been planning to sleep in, he couldn't seem to fall back asleep. Deciding it would be a good time to go and check out the small town in Ireland they were in for their honeymoon, he slipped on some running shoes and shorts, and set off.

He jogged down the cobblestone road, and into the center of town. He passed a few small shops that were just beginning to open, a cafe, and the small government building in the middle of town. He was just about to loop back around and head back to the small bed and breakfast he and Hannah were staying at when he saw it. A bookstore worker setting up a cardboard cutout of Brennan in the window of the shop across the street where he was standing. Then he watched the worker hand up a poster, saying that her new book was out and was in stock at their store.

He basically dead-bolt sprinted over to the shop, relieved to find that it had just opened for the day by the hours listed on the door. Booth opened the door, a small bell ringing above him. He spotted the books immediately, all in nice even piles on a table near the front of the store. Grabbing one, he opened it to the back where information of the author was on the book's dust jacket.

He about sunk to his knees when he read what was in the description box below Brennan's smiling face.

Dr. Temperance Brennan, real life forensic anthropologist, uses the things that she sees everyday in her career as inspiration for her novels. Being first the New York Times Bestsellers list with every book she has ever written has clearly shown her magnificent abilities as a writer. You can also find other writings of hers in numerous anthropology journals.

She lives in Chicago, Illinois and is currently expecting her first child.

Immediately reading that Brennan was expecting, Booth flipped to the front of the book where the dedication goes.

"For Mitch, without you my motivation to finish this book would have ceased to exist."

'Mitch? Who the hell is Mitch?' Booth thought, then an overwhelming wave of nausea hit him.

Brennan was pregnant, and she had dedicated her book to a man. Could it really be possible? Brennan had barely been out of D.C. three months and she was already with a new man and pregnant?

Booth felt different emotions boiling to the surface, all ranging from sadness, to jealousy, to rage. He knew he didn't have the right to feel any of those emotions. He was a married man. Married to a woman that wasn't her. But he just couldn't help it. He'd been in the position before that, that child could be his. He could be the one who's child Brennan was expecting, but he wasn't. Because he'd been arrogant and told her two seconds after he wanted to be with her, that he needed to move on.

"And that turned out to be the right decision because you found the one you belong with." the voice in the back of his mind said.

But right now, he wasn't so sure.

Brennan was sitting in O'Charley's with Mitch, listening to him ramble on about how he thinks he found a new weed repellant that wouldn't harm animals or children. Brennan herself was facinated by the topic, and was being an intent listener. Though while Mitch would take breaks from talking to take a few bites of food or a sip of his drink, Brennan's thoughts would wander. Most of them being to Booth.

Her new book was published, and knowing how he's read all her books, he's probably already bought a copy. That means he has seen her dedication to Mitch, and the fact that she was expecting.

The dedication regarding Mitch had been completely true, if he hadn't motivated her to finish the book, she wouldn't have. She also knows that Booth will probably be questioning the idea of Mitch being the father of her child, which was far from wrong being that Mitch was homosexual, and was with a male sexual partner of his own.

However, Brennan knew that Booth was going to piece together the pieces soon. Brennan had been asked by CBS to appear in an interview on an upcoming episode of Sixty Minutes, scheduled to aire three weeks from now, and she had agreed to doing the interview.

She knew Booth was going to piece it together the puzzle because she had a good idea about how the interview was going to go. First they'd ask her a few questions about her book, then that would lead to questions about her pregnancy, and that would lead to questions about Mitch. Then she'd throw a curveball at the interviewer saying that Mitch was not the father of her child, and that he was homosexual. Then they would ask her questions on the baby's father and she'd simply say that it was complicated.

Mitch knew she'd dedicated the book to him, he'd called her the minute he saw it in the book store. He already knew that it was going to raise question, but he trusted Brennan to straighten it out so that his 'current man candy' wouldn't be angry with him.

Mitch's enthusiastic voice snapped her from her thoughts, and Brennan turned her attention back the to the conversation about safe weed killer.

I hope I'm not complicating this too much, B&B's reunion will happen within the next three chapters, pinky swear ;) I'll also be stopping the somewhat long time jumps after the next chapter so it will be easier to read.
