Hi everyone! I've had this chapter written for about 24 hours, but the power has been out. I know, this is my third chapter in 2 days, but I promise I do have a life! Cyclones and flooding make for good fanfic writing time! When I can get internet, your reviews make me smile, so thank-you!
"Jesus, Seeley. You've sure got some swimmers, don't you?" Rebecca laughed over the phone. "You've had two kids without trying, and when you do try, you get twins!"
"Yeah, Yeah, haha" Booth replied sarcastically.
"No but really, congratulations. Tell Temperance congratulations for me too. I'll get Parker to ring you as soon as he gets back from practice, he will be over the moon." Rebecca said.
"Alright, thanks Rebecca. Talk to you later." Booth said, hanging up the phone.
"What did Parker say?" Brennan asked as Booth returned to the couch after making his phone call.
"He wasn't there, his soccer practice is running late. Rebecca says congratulations though." Booth replied as he sat next to her on the couch. Brennan snuggled into his side, and Booth bought an arm around her side so his hand was resting on her baby bump. "Is there anyone else we should call?" Booth asked as he drew circles on Brennan's belly.
"I don't think so." Brennan responded. "We'll see Angela and Hodgins tomorrow, and I'd rather tell dad in person." Brennan thought aloud. "What about Hank?" Brennan asked, twisting her neck to look at Booth.
"Yeah, I thought we could take Christine and visit him tomorrow, Jared's going to be there tomorrow too, so that works out well." Booth replied. "We can meet up with Max on the way back." Booth suggested.
"Okay, that sounds like a good idea, Booth." Brennan smiled as Booth lent down and kissed her.
"I still can't believe it." Booth said, looking at Brennan's stomach.
"Yes. It is quite a surprise." Brennan agreed.
"How do you think we should tell Christine?" Booth asked. "Do we just come right out and say it, or do we sneak it into conversation, what do we do?" Booth looked at Brennan.
"Well." Brennan began. "Christine is quite logical, so I believe she would appreciate if we just told her. You should tell her Booth, she'll take it better from you. Just make sure to say it in a way that won't confuse her, Booth" Brennan decided.
"Yeah, okay." Booth agreed. "I've got this, Bones. Don't you worry." Booth assured Brennan. The phone began to ring and Booth untangled himself from Brennan and answered it.
"Parker?" Booth asked into the phone.
"Hey dad! Mom told me to call you. So I did. As you can tell." Parker said without taking a breath. Parker rambled when he was excited. "Is it about the baby? Is it a boy? Is it a girl? I don't really care either way even though I kind of want it to be a boy, but a girl would be good too." Parker added.
"Woah, buddy. Slow down!" Booth interrupted him. "Give me a chance to respond." Booth laughed through the phone.
"Okay, sorry dad." Parker replied.
"Bones and I just got back from the doctors, and the doctor told us that we are having a boy and a girl." Booth announced into the phone.
"WHAT!?" Parker's voice screeched in Booth's ear. "A girl AND a boy. Like TWINS!?" Parker exclaimed. "There's going to be TWO BABIES! I'm going to have a brother and another sister! This is the best news EVER! You're the best dad! Tell Bones she's the best too." Parker was rambling again.
"Yeah, it's very exciting, bud." Booth attempted to get Parker to take a breath.
"When can I come visit you, dad? Is Bones' belly HUGE? I bet it is cause there's two babies in there." Parker said.
"You can visit any time you want, bud. You know that." Booth replied. "And no, Bones' belly isn't HUGE just yet, but it's getting there." Booth turned to look at Brennan as he said it, and laughed at Brennan's expression.
"Mom says I have to go now, cause I'm getting mud all over the carpet." Parker whined into the phone.
"Alright, buddy. You be good for you mom, okay?" Booth said.
"I will dad." Parker replied.
"Alright, well I'll talk to you later. I love you." Booth said into the phone.
"I love you too, dad. Cya." Parker said as he hung up the phone. Booth put the phone on it's hook and turned around.
"Not huge, yet?" Brennan said, crossing her arms. Booth laughed and returned to his place on the couch.
"What? He asked!" Booth said, he knew he would pay for that one.
"Mmm-hmmm." Brennan said, rolling her eyes. "Well you better remember that you're the one who did this to me when I can't get out of bed and am the size of a walrus." Brennan said.
"Oh, I'm sure you won't let me forget it." Booth laughed and pulled her in for a kiss.
"It makes sense now why I am so much more hungry this time than I was with Christine." Brennan said as she spooned another mouthful of lasagna into her mouth. "We still have some pie left, right Booth?" Brennan asked Booth who was sitting across the table, laughing. He had already finished eating, and Brennan was on her second round.
"We sure do. I think there's about half left, so there should be just enough for you three." He joked.
"Okay, good. I thought you might've wanted some too." Brennan said, not picking up on Booth's joking tone. "One, or both of these babies really likes pie, Booth. They get it from you, you know." Brennan said, still chowing down her lasagna.
"Yeah, okay, slow down there Bones. You're going to give yourself indigestion." Booth said.
"Booth, I'm not a child. I know how to eat." Brennan responded.
"I know Bones, sorry." Booth said, giving up. "I'll go get the pie." He said as he got up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Don't forget the ice-cream, Booth!" Brennan called after him. Booth laughed and pulled the ice-cream out of the freezer.
"Wouldn't dream of it." He said as he returned to the table with two bowls, half a pie and a pint of ice-cream. Booth began serving out the dessert, stealing some pie from the pan.
"Hey!" Brennan complained. "You said you didn't want any!" She said, scrapping her lasagna plate clean. Booth laughed as Brennan grabbed the ice-cream and started to eat it before he had the chance to put it in her bowl.
"You're right, Bones. I wouldn't want you to starve." Booth joked as he cut Brennan a massive piece of pie.
