I really liked this chapter because I love the Angela-Brennan relationship. I made it a little longer so let me know what you think and PLEASE REVIEW! Also, I know it's a little unrealistic for Angela to be at work the day after giving birth but I tried to explain it and I wanted it to be the next day. So sorry for any confusion and just try and avoid that part.
Brennan:
As I peered over our newest set of remains, I wondered why 12 o'clock was taking so long to get here. Which is ridiculous because time is constant. It can't be changed. Still, the closer the clock got to noon, the happier I got.
"Sweetie?" Angela's voice interrupted me from my thoughts. She really should be home with her baby but she had to pick up some things that Hodgins left behind when he was rushing to get her to the hospital. "Are you ok? I've never seen it take you so long for you to analyze a corpse. And the last time you were like this you…ohmygosh does this have something to do with Booth?"
She was good. How did she figure that out so quickly? I guess my face betrayed me because she jumped up and down and clapped her hands.
"I knew it! Brennan, you have to tell me everything!"
"Shhh, Ange, someone will hear!" I glanced around but were the only ones on the platform. I looked it at her and she had a sparkle in her eye. "Ok, come on." I headed towards my office and she followed closely behind, giggling like a little girl. We almost ran into Cam as we got to the bottom of the steps.
"Whoa, Dr. Brennan, is everything alright?"
I started to open my mouth to answer but Angela cut me off, "Everything's fine, Cam. She's just really excited to learn how to use this new software that you might need while I'm gone."
Cam's face looked surprised, "Oh. Well sounds good. Let me know if you need any help."
"Of course, Dr. Saroyan," I answered.
Once we were in the privacy of my office I turned to Angela, "I can answer my own questions."
"I know but you're not a very good liar. And you're not telling anyone about this until I know. So start from the beginning."
"Time has no beginning or end, Angela. It's infinite in both directions."
"Yeah, whatever, Just start from last night."
"Ok well we let the hospital and he was talking about happy you and Hodgins are going to be now that you have a baby and so I told him my news that…I'm pregnant."
Angela's eyes were so wide I wasn't sure if she was ok."
"Yo…you…you are? Brennan! Why didn't you tell me earlier? This is so exciting! And Booth…"
"Yes Booth is the father," I said with a smile, "And I didn't say anything earlier because I wasn't sure that was going to happen with me and Booth so I wanted to see how he felt before I told anyone else."
"Wow. Just…wow," she slumped back onto the couch, "So where are you guys now? Are you together?"
"I'm not sure," I admitted, "We're going to lunch later to talk."
"Well what do you want to happen?"
"I don't know," I said slowly, "I want us to be together, but I can't tell if he does."
"Sweetie, Booth has been in love with you for 8 years. Did you guys talk about anything before you went home last night?"
"Well I didn't exactly go home last night…"
Angela raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
"Neither of us wanted to be alone so I went to his place."
Angela's mouth dropped open, "This just keeps getting better! So…I guess you two had a nice night." She nudged me with her elbow.
"Stop it, Ange, you're scaring me. And I had the best night I've had in a long time. But nothing happened. Well some things happened. But they're not what you think!"
Angela looked confused and interested.
"I've found that I really like falling asleep with his arms around me. And Booth,,,he's a very good kisser," I admitted with a smile.
"Oh my gosh, Brennan, you have just made me so happy!"
This was something I'd never understand about Angela. She seemed happier than I was. She opened her mouth to say something else and I heard my door open. We both turned toward the sound and saw Booth standing there, frozen as he realized what he just walked into. Angela shrieked and ran over to give him a hug.
Booth raised his eyebrows, "I'm guessing you told her?" I nodded and Angela released him from her hold. "Ready to go to lunch Bones?"
