When he didn't hear back from Bones till September, he became worried but was soon relieved to not hear from her but to see her via satellite. She looked fuller in the face, more beautiful to him.

"It's good to see you Bones, why all the hush for a month and a half?"

She smiled, "sorry Booth, we uh finally found the burial ground and have not stopped working during the daylight hours. How is Afghanistan?"

"Well it's a desert…did you get my photos?"

She nodded and moved the computer, a bulletin board could be scene, photos covered it. "I kept them all, the baby will be here for a while so I wanted some visual simulation for it."

"Hey, I was wondering if you'd mind me there…for the birth, I saved my leave time to come but only if you're okay with it."

She smiled, "I'd like that, I've arranged to go to Darwin, Australia two weeks before my due date so I can have the baby at the hospital there. A friend of mine works there and is arranging everything for me, I'll stay in a hotel till the baby is born then a week afterwards I fly back to the site."

"Sounds good, for a moment there I thought you'd have the baby in a jungle but like I told my guys, jungle or no jungle I'd be there. I missed Parker's birth for duty once, I won't miss my son or daughter's birth."

"I actually have managed to fly to Darwin once every two weeks so I only have to get a check up at the island hospital. It's 901 miles so it takes a few hours but I prefer it although I did contemplate a natural birth." She smiled, "have you heard from Parker, I sent him a gift from one of the markets for his birthday."

"He told me about that, some type of bag. He liked it a lot, he's excited about being a big brother…did you get his picture?"

"I did as well as letters from everyone, Angela and Hodgins are expecting as well, although Angela is only three weeks along or so she tells me."

"Baby squints in the lab when you get back, at least our little one will have a friend its own age." He noticed her smiling, "so I was thinking about names, if you want to hear or not."

"Yes, I'd like that…I believe that the name Christine after my mother or Hank after your grandfather would be acceptable."

"See, funny thing…I was thinking Elizabeth Christine or Christopher Hank."

She laughed and smiled, "I'll say this once so live in it while you can…great minds think alike."

"You're okay with those names…I chose Elizabeth or Christopher because they are Catholic and traditional and I know how you are about religion and tradition."

"I do not mind them, however it is up to our child on the basis of religion. He or she may choose whether or not to believe in Catholicism or any religion or none, until then we will teach him or her the basis of everything."

Booth nodded, "right."

"Oh yeah," a voice made Booth turn to see some of his men, "there she is boys, Booth's woman."

"Pardon, I do not know you and I belong to no one." Bones eyed them all before looking at Booth. "Knowing your attitude and possible rioting behavior due to such comments, I'll talk to you later. I'll attempt to contact you at my next appointment, Dr. Bryers is going to set up a link so you can be there."

"Sounds great, see you next time and I'll write you all as soon as I get a chance."

"Come on Booth, introduce us." The guys looked at Booth and he shook his head.

"I love you, I'll see you when I see you."

"As they say here, 'sampai jumpa' and it means goodbye." She smiled and waved before the screen went blank.

Booth stood and looked at his men before leaving for his tent, he laid down and opened his journal. He began writing in it, it was a day by day event holder for his future son or daughter just incase he didn't make it back.

Little one,

I spoke to Mommy today and we have decided on what to call you. You either are Elizabeth Christine Booth or Christopher Hank Booth, either way its Chrissy or Chris in my book.

The day grows longer and night is nearing, the cold tells us this. Either way, the fact you're safe with your mother means everything to me. It was nice to see her after so long, I miss you both and your big brother, Parker…he's almost ten. I love you lots,

Daddy

A/N: What will it be...boy or girl, Elizabeth or Christopher?
