Another Brennan POV


Looking at the panel in front of her, Brennan identifies different pamphlets that could be of use in information on pregnancy. Choosing several, she sat back down and looked at them as she waited on Dr. Bryers to come in.

Minutes later the good doctor came in with a laptop and hooked it up, "why don't you see if you can get Dad on the connection."

She logged on and eventually the feed came up and Booth's face was seen. "Hey there, what's going on?"

"I'm at Royal Darwin Hospital for my check up, I'm in week twenty-nine. Booth this is Dr. Bryers," Bryers waved hello, "she's been my obstetrician the entire pregnancy since I came to Royal Darwin Hospital. This is Seeley Booth, my child's father."

"Pleasure to meet you Mr. Booth, we're about to take an ultrasound and hopefully the tiny baby will reveal its identity to us."

Brennan laid back and the ultrasound began, Booth watched. "Amazing, I can hear the heartbeat."

"And it looks like we have a clue to the identity, sure you two want to know or shall we keep it a surprise?"

Booth laughed, "I have a son, I want to know…kind of a bonding thing out here."

"I'd like to know as well however I do know it is not a hundred percent accurate." Brennan looked at Bryers and the good doctor smiled.

"Mr. Booth, Dr. Brennan I'd like to inform you that you are having a…daughter." She smiled and looked at them, "it's a girl and she looks perfect."

Booth smiled and looked at Brennan, "look at you, glowing with pride…motherhood suits you better then knee deep mud and human remains." Brennan laughed, "listen baby I have to go, my time is up. I love you."

"I love you too, I'll look for your letters."

"And I'll look for yours, Elizabeth I love you, Daddy loves you. I got to go baby." The screen went blank and Brennan stared at it for a moment.

Bryers looked at her, "I have to say you are by far my strangest patient by way of occupation. He's in the Middle East and you're in Indonesia…killer on family life but you still find ways to be in touch….it's beautiful."

"Thank you for everything, especially this video conference, I know it means a lot to him."


She left the hospital and decided to go shopping for maternity clothes because her clothes didn't fit that well. After shopping, she headed to the airport and waited for her flight to Papua where she'd take a charter plane to Ambon.

The flight was calm and relaxing except for the fact her daughter kicked her most of the way. She ran her hand over her belly, feeling the life growing inside her. "Shh, you are safe Elizabeth."

Brennan pulled out the small box she had bought while in Darwin and removed the contents: a rosary, it was to hang on the bulletin board next to the photos of Booth and Afghanistan, so the baby would have something of the Catholic faith. Fingering the beads, she smiled and placed it back in the box.

Looking out the window, she smiled upon seeing the island of Papua, she was almost back to camp.


After another flight, Brennan rode to the camp and was met by Daisy, who filled her in on all she missed.

"We have found no other bodies but several piece of pottery and weapons or at least what looks like weapons."

"Thank you Miss Wick, I need some time but I'll join you at dinner."

"Of course Dr. Brennan." She left as Brennan entered her tent and sat on her cot, beginning to unpack her bag. She placed her clothes in the small trunk at the end of her cot and placed the rosary on the bulletin board next to the picture of Booth.

"I miss you Booth, we both miss you."


A/N: Next is another letter as I used video conference on this one...just so you know, Booth has now used up all his video conference time so he'll be talking with Brennan only with letters and eventually when they meet in Darwin.
