It had been a long and stressful week, Zach and Hodgins had found nothing new, Angela was having problems with the new face and to top everything off the time had come for Tempe to tell the lab she was pregnant.

She paced her living room waiting for Booth to arrive, he was to pick her up as he had done for the past week and take her to work. The plan was simple, keep her mouth shut about everything until he was gone, and then tell Angela, soon news would spread and then the whole lab would know.

A small knock at the door told Tempe that Booth had arrived and was waiting. Grabbing her bag and laptop she opened the door and followed him out to the car. Deep down she wanted to turn around, head back into her apartment and hide from the world, she could hardly believe her life was about to turn into a crazy lie.

"How you feeling Bones?" Booth asked breaking the silence.

"Like shit, you?" she answered honestly giving him a death glare.

"Pretty good, I talked to Parker this morning." He said faking a smile, but being completely honest.

"How is he?" she asked, an immediate change in her tone of voice.

"He's doing well. Told me to tell you he said 'hi'."

Tempe gave a small smile before asking a question that hadn't crossed her mind until that moment.

"Will Parker be aware of everything that is going on? I mean this lie and everything?"

"Unfortunately, yes." He said stopping at the light. "He will be under the impression you are pregnant and you will be his step mother. So you have really act the part Bones."

"Booth I find it hard to lie to a child, especially after everything my parents lied to me about."

"I know, but he needs to believe this in order for all of this to work Bones. I told you this sick creep could be watching over you. Making sure everything is right until he makes his move and I don't want you ending up like the other women on your table. Got it?"

"perfectly." She mumbled then went to looking out the window.

An hour later Tempe found herself alone in her office thinking over everything, she knew she had to tell Angela soon and then her life would go into chaos. It had been agreed that once the news was out Booth and her were to move in together and soon get married. Making everyone believe the undercover story.

"Angela!" Tempe called out to the platform from her door.

Angela sat across from Hodgins and Zach sketching away in her pad when she heard her name being called; quickly she looked behind her and saw Tempe standing in her office doorway motioning for her to come over.

Angela placed her notebook down and walked over to the office, noticing it was unlike her to be so out of character, normally Tempe would have walked up to her and talked, not asked for her to go to her office.

"What's up sweetie?" she asked upon entering the office to find Tempe sitting at her desk working on a file.

"How is the face coming along?"

"Horribly. Zach showed me a few of the marks for me to work with and found out that this woman had more plastic surgeries than the girl from LA."

"I know, Ange. But you did it once; you can do it again right?"

"Well sure, it will just take a long while. I mean this woman is more plastic than Barbie herself." She said smiling.

"I don't know what that means." Tempe stated.

"You mean to tell me you don't know who Barbie is?"

"You mean the plastic little doll girls play with?"

"Yeah her, you know; you can brush my hair and take me everywhere." She started singing getting Tempe to smile. "You know what sweetie; I haven't seen you smile in a while. Is something up?"

Tempe looked down, yeah something was up, she was forced to go undercover with a story she really didn't want, but than again she really had no choice.

"Ange there's something I need to tell you." She lowered her head and spoke softly as Angela took a seat across from her.

"What is it sweetie you can tell me anything." Her face was straight and honest.

"Angela." Her voice lowered again and the next words that came out of her mouth Angela had to strain to hear.

"Are you lying to me?" she asked in shock.

"No I found out this morning." Tempe said avoiding her eye contact for fear she might be able to see the truth.

"Whose is it?"

"Booth's." she whispered.

"You're pregnant with Booth's child? Are you kidding me?" she asked raising her voice in excitement.

"quiet." Tempe said getting up to close her door, hoping nobody heard; yet. "Yes, I am."

"How did this happen?"

Tempe was faced with the worst question, Booth and her hadn't gone over that part yet and she was unsure of what to say. But she had thought of the one night Booth had slept over on her couch after his fight with Cam. She thought it over, that had been over two month's ago and worked to her advantage.

"Two month's ago when Booth and Cam got into a fight, he stopped by my apartment, drunk and a mess and well…" she trailed off and soon Angela finished the sentence in for her.

"You slept with him." She squealed and smiled almost jumping out of her seat.

"Well at the time I just wasn't thinking and now…" she trailed off again.

"Does he know yet?"

"No. I'm not sure I want him to know." She lied.

"Well sweetie you should tell him, then maybe he'll break things off with Cam for good and you two can live happily ever after."

"Ange this is real life, not some fairy tale." She said. "I wouldn't want Booth to marry me just because I'm pregnant." Not that I have a choice, she added to herself.

"Well sweetie I think you should tell him and see how things go." She said getting up to leave and just before she opened the door she spoke. "Do you love him?"

"no." she stated quickly, her heart however said another thing. "I mean, I'm not sure." Tempe was shocked by the truth of her statement the only truthful thing she had said in the whole conversation.

"Well when you figure it out, let him know." She said seriously then left the room.

"What have I gotten myself into?" she asked herself then picked up her cell phone and dialed Booth's number.

"Booth." He said upon answering.

"I just told Angela." She mumbled into the phone.

"Did she buy it?" he asked as shuffling papers could be heard in the distance.

"yup." She said opening her laptop.

"Ok, I'll pick you up at five thirty. What do you say to the dinners?"

"Sounds good see you then." She said then hung the phone up and sighed trying hard to get back to work.

As she typed away one thing Angela had said still rang in her head. 'Then maybe he'll break things off with Cam for good'. Somewhere along the lie Tempe had forgotten Booth was still with Cam and he would have to break it off with her to make everything believable. This would be difficult if Angela's gossip really did spread quickly.

Looking out her glass window and to the platform she watched as Cam spoke with Angela over something, Tempe sat there silently hoping it wasn't about the baby news. Judging from the look on Cam's face though, it wasn't.

Getting out of her seat and grabbing a file, Tempe walked over to the platform to help in anyway she could with the body. The sooner she was identified the better the chances were at finding out who the killer was, before things got way out of control.

"Dr. Brennan, nice of you to join us." Cam said smiling.

"Zach what have you found?" Tempe asked ignoring Cam and heading towards the body.

"Nothing new yet, but certain breaks show these women were very much alive at the time of occurrence."

"How is the Angelator working this one out?" she asked turning to Angela.

"I'm working on a few more small items it should be ready for a presentation tomorrow, but so far everything Zach has said shows up perfectly with the demonstration. A car weighs about the same amount as the force that inflicted the amount of damage."

"Alright I'll call Booth and let him know we're getting closer, maybe he can get a few people to find out where the first body was run over. Then we can work from there." She said turning towards her office.

As she walked passed Angela a small smile spread across her face, Tempe had nothing to do, but return it. And not too far away Cam observed the whole thing.
