Tempe sat in her office working over a few of the reports she had managed to get written over the past few hours, everything spoke the same, describing how the women died, their real names and so on. The next victim was the only one left unidentified and Booth was off getting information from the family of Elizabeth Walters, she was asked to stay behind in order to figure out anything new, now she sat there bored looking at her blank computer, slowly her hand traveled down her stomach and, unconsciously rubbed the small bulge. Though she knew no child resided there she felt somewhat comfortable believing the lie.

"My god, you've gotten bigger." A female voice said from her door, causing Tempe to look to the speaker and smile as Angela made her way in, quickly embracing her friend.

"I haven't seen you in all day, where the hell have you been?" Tempe asked taking the file from her friend's hand.

"A little here a little there, mostly in my office working on this face." She paused, then changed the subject. "So how's the little one doing?"

"Fine." Tempe answered looking through the file to see several drawings.

"I got lost along the way." She mumbled. "So is everything ok in paradise?"

"Everything's fine. A little tired and hungry, plus morning sickness has started up again, but other than that I'm doing fine." She lied. She had bought a book on what to expect month by month and figured that by using the book her lies would seem more believable.

"Alright sweetie, as long as you feel you're alright." She said smiling, knowing that within the next couple of months her best friend would be growing rather large and soon the miracle would be there for her to play with and go crazy over. Angela was so lost in thought she failed to notice Booth in the doorway talking to Tempe.

"So, Bones we have us the name of this girl?" he asked, Angela frowned as she noticed nothing much had changed between the two; they acted as if they had every other day at work.

"Well Angela has this face, but I don't have a name." she answered giving him a small smile. This seemed to please Angela for the moment.

"Her name is Katherine Logan." Angela spoke up.

"Great, come on Bones we better go look for the Logan family." Tempe got up from her seat and followed Booth out of the lab and to the car.

A couple of months had passed since the discovery of Katharine Logan's body, Tempe was about five months heavily pregnant and waddled a bit due to the extra weight on her stomach. At night Booth would help her out of it so they could sleep and during the day she would make her way around the lab carrying the prosthetic stomach around. Throughout the past couple of months nothing new had come up, they had very few cases that had interrupted them from the main case, but they were solved quickly and life was returned back to what they were forced to believe was normal.

At the moment Tempe sat in her office working over a few of the folders, she had been privately cataloging the cases ion her office, occasionally looking back on them for anything she had missed. The bodies had been placed down in the basement of the Jeffersonian until something new came up, and she personally wanted nothing more than to get them out of there and into the ground where they would have peace and the families could stop worrying over who the next victim would be. Booth entered the office quietly and watched as Tempe studied over her files and silently walked up to her.

"Ready to go home?" he asked as he approached her, she gave a slight jump, then nodded trying desperately to get up from her chair. Failing miserably she fell back, but was stopped half fall by Booth taking her hand and helping her up. She gently placed her hands on his chest as she tried to gain her balance back. Though the moment was quick it was there. It had came often, especially during the past couple of months. Something in them both wanted them together, even if it was just for a kiss, and not like the kisses they had been sharing in front of everybody for the sake of the case, but a real actual kiss that came straight from the heart and not the mind.

"thank you." she mumbled straightening herself out and allowing him to help her into her coat. they quietly exited the lab and walked out to the car. Just before Tempe entered the car she placed a slight kiss on Booth's cheek as he stood at her side trying to help her into the car. He looked to her oddly before continuing to help her in then got in on his own side and started the car, heading for the apartment they shared.

As they entered the dark room Booth turned the lights on and closed the door behind Tempe. They had said nothing since she had kissed him, yet the silence between them was anything, but awkward. Before Tempe could even react Booth was standing in front of her, his lips hot on hers as he kissed her passionately.

For the first time in a long time Tempe allowed her mind to shut off and she deepened the kiss by pulling him closer to her. She gave a slight shiver as she noticed his hands had gone under her shirt and had begun working on getting the prosthetic stomach off. Once the damn thing was off she closed the remaining distance and placed her hands in front of him and began working on his buttons.

"Are you sure about this?" he asked stopping her hands as he took a deep breath. "once we cross this line there is no going back."

"close the door and throw away the key." she muttered taking his shirt off and watching it fall to the floor. She then splayed her fingers over his bare chest and moaned as he brought his mouth back on hers. The kiss was filled with more than the love, it was filled with the want, the need of the other. Slowly they made their way into the bedroom, dropping clothes as they went.

The next morning Tempe woke up to a warm feeling under her and as she opened her eyes she noticed her partner, and husband beneath her. 'So much for the annulment'. She joked to herself. Looking to the clock she noticed they had forgotten to set it and were at least two hours late for work, she made a quick jump from his bare chest, but was stopped by Booth's newly found death grip around her naked waist.

"I called work earlier, I told them you had a doctors appointment." he stated with his eyes closed before rolling them over so she was beneath him. "hope you don't mind."

"not at all." she said smiling up at him and placed a soft kiss on his lips.

"Any regrets?" he asked dreading her answer.

"none I can think of at the moment." she joked and moaned as he placed a soft kiss on her lips. "how about you?"

"Only that it took so long to happen." he said honestly.

"If only we saw the signs." again she joked and they laughed together. They never got to the 'doctor's appointment', which made them both glad it was never made. They hardly left the bed and never left the apartment.

Outside he sat in the dark corner of the alley. She was growing bigger and bigger, her husband cared deeply for his wife and his unborn child. Sure he was FBI, but the second she was gone there was nothing he could do, soon she would be just like the rest of them, only this time she wouldn't perform the overlook of the body, her friends would have to do that. The man turned to his side pulled out a notebook and began writing, though he knew the journals were bad to keep he needed something to remind himself when the best time would be to grab the women. Soon the time would come and he would go for her. The man turned and left. Leaving the happily married couple alone and feeling safe…for now.

Ok I know along time, I'm so sorry. I have been stuck on where I was headed with this. I got this chapter out because I had a small break through, but I'm not sure how long it may take for the next update because again I am at a loss. If anybody had any ideas please HELP ME! Thank you all for your reviews you are all the only reason why I write. Thank you. I hope to have the next chapter up once my muse comes back from my X-Files vacation.
