Chapter #20: Miracles

Fifteen months had passed since Booth was officially pronounced in remission. He had to undergo routine tests every few months, but everything continued to show up normal.

Rebecca had given him legal custody of Parker. She was assigned to an office in Texas, and Parker didn't want to leave his father; so, after a long conversation with Booth, and the help of a child psychologist, they decided that for Parker's sake it was better for him to remain with his father. Rebecca had him during Spring Break or Thanksgiving and during either Christmas or New Years. He also spent one month of his summer vacation with her as well. She and Booth had also made arrangements outside the legal agreements so that Rebecca could have Parker when she was in town.

Booth was sitting in his new office looking out the window. He had been promoted to Agent in Charge of Field Operations. When Cullen first offered him the position, he went directly to see Bones. The promotion took him out of field work, and Brennan didn't want to work with another agent; however, she agreed that maybe it was time for Zack to begin taking over some of those duties. Booth wanted more time with his family, and Brennan wanted more time to be able to work on her books. She had also begun to consider possibly having a child with Booth, but she wasn't sure yet how to approach the subject with him.

After getting Parker to bed, Booth sat down in the living room with Brennan.

"What are you thinking about sweetheart?" Booth asked.

"Booth, what would you say if I told you I wanted to have a baby?" She asked quietly.

"A what?" Booth asked, almost not believing what he was hearing.

"Booth, I know that I have said in the past that I didn't want children, but I have really been giving this allot of thought, and I would like to have a child with you." She said.

Booth remained speechless. If she had told him this two years ago, he would be jumping for joy, but right now the only feeling that occupied his chest was sorrow. Brennan could tell that she had hit a sensitive spot.

"I'm sorry. If you don't want to have any more children I understand." She said.

"It's not that I don't want to Bones. I can't have children." He said sadly.

"What?" She said. Then it all made sense to her. "The treatments." She said sadly almost in a whisper.

"Yes, that is one of the long term side effects. I really didn't think of it, since I always understood that you didn't want children, and I wanted my kids to be with you." He said.

"But there are options right?" Brennan said.

"The doctor's gave me the option to save some of my sperm in a bank, but I already told you, I didn't do that." Booth said.

"I'm sorry Booth." Brennan said sadly.

"For what?" He asked.

"For being so scared before that I couldn't see how important this would become to me." She said.

"We have a family Bones, you, me and Parker. We are a family. Then there's the squints, Caroline and Cullen, your family and mine. There are many types of families." He told her.

During the next few weeks Brennan made several inquires on her own about the possibility of getting pregnant, but her hopes remained low. All the research was clear, with the sequence of treatments that Booth had, it was very improbable that she would be able to get pregnant the regular way. The only option was artificial insemination, and the only way they would be able to do that would be to use donor sperm, and that simply wasn't acceptable to them.

Booth was leaving for mass on Sunday, and was amazed when Bones asked if she could go with them. He was reluctant at first, but finally agreed. During the service, Booth kept watching her. She was sitting quietly with her eyes closed.

"I don't know how to do this. It's always Booth who has had the faith in you. By now, I know that you exist, since he's still here with us. You gave us the gift of his company and his love, but I want to ask you for a miracle. I want to create a life with him. I know that my science won't be enough to fulfill my desire, that is why I've come to you. I'm asking for the blessing of an angel of our own. I know that we don't have a marriage according to your law, but this is the way that works for us. He says that you know everything, and if that's true, you must know that I don't believe in marriage. I do believe in loving a person and I am respectful and loyal to him. I love him! I know that I'm not a religious person like he is, but I really want the opportunity to give him back some of the happiness that he has given me since we met. Please?!" She prayed silently.

Four months later, Booth received a package at his office from his Bones. He had been so preoccupied the last week that he had hardly had time to see her. He would get home late, after she was already in bed, and would go to work before she got up. He looked into the package and saw a hand written note. As he took the object out he noticed it was a picture frame. The note read:

"!!!WE HAVE CREATED A MIRACLE!!!"

When he looked at the picture his eyes filled with tears. There in front of him was a sonogram photo with two little lines pointing to two spots marked with the letters A and B. He tried to pick up the phone to call her, but his hands wouldn't work right. Just then there was a soft knock on his office door.

"Come in." He said.

Suddenly there she stood. Booth ran toward her and lifted her into the air swinging her around.

"Tell me that this isn't a lie. Please!" He said.

"No honey it's no lie. We are really pregnant." She said happily.

"But how?" He asked.

Brennan looked to the ceiling, and put her finger in the air.

"This was the reason I wanted to go to church with you several months ago. I guess He heard me." She said.

Booth gave her a full charm smile, and kissed her soundly on the lips, completely forgetting where they were. A throat clearing behind them broke up the celebration and they separated from each other. When they turned and looked, Cullen was standing there looking at them.

"I thought I told you that you had to remain professional at work." He said smiling at him.

"Sorry Sir, but I couldn't wait to kiss her." Booth said.

"I know you love her Booth, but you have to keep it professional in the office." Cullen said again in a teasing tone.

"It's my fault Sir. I should have waited until we got home, but I just couldn't wait to tell him." Brennan said.

"Would one of you be kind enough to tell me what is going on then?" Cullen asked.

Booth retrieved the picture frame from his desk and handed it to Cullen. Cullen instantly knew what the picture was and looked at it in amazement.

"But I thought that..." Cullen began.

"Sir, that is a miracle. A huge miracle." Booth said, as he kissed Brennan again forgetting that they were in his office.
