Cause you asked so nicely ...BTW the tea time is like dinner :) sorry for the confusion!
Temperance had lifted Booth's warm, IV connected hand to her large stomach.
"See, she's kicking," She said, forcing a smile. "She does that a lot."
Removing her unresponsive finance's hand from her belly, she held it tightly in hers.
"And we went had an ultrasound today, and the doctor said she's developing well," Brennan breathed deeply. "And that the ... stress ... of recent months hasn't effected her at all."
Watching his chest rise and fall, she was silent for a moment. The doctors said it was a good idea to talk to him. To tell him what was happening, keep him up to date. She didn't see the point. Was it helping?
"I need to pee," she said out loud. That was proof. No one had registered what she had said. Sighing, Brennan got out of her chair and started to go into the adjoining restroom.
At that moment, Seely Booth's right hand twitched.
Brennan gasped and ran towards the bed.
"Seely? Can you hear me Seely? Please say you can," she cried, grasping his hand again. The doctors had rated the come, on the Glasgow Coma Scale as moderate, meaning he responded to pain and occasionally uttered insensible words, but he hadn't done anything voluntary thus far.
Letting go of his hand, Brennan reached up to push the doctor-summoning button. Another movement caught her eye. Seely's fingers moved slightly to the left and, what Brennan assumed the movement was, scratched his leg.
Tears sprang into her eyes. "Thank god. Thank you, thank you Seely."
At that moment a doctor came in.
"He moved, Doctor, he moved," she was crying and laughing. "I'm certain of it."

"Rebbecca, hi," Brennan clutched the telephone tightly, twisting the cord. She wondered how many people had done the same actions before her? Standing here, informing loved ones of a persons serious injuries, or death. "It's Temperance."
"Hey, Tempe," came her voice through the phone. "What's up?"
"It's – it's Seely,"
"Oh god, what's happened?"
"He's in hospital,"
"How bad?"
"Hes ... Rebbecca, he's in a coma."
A long silence. Then a sob. Seely, Rebbecca and herself had become very close in the past year or so. They all loved Parker and, to some degree, loved each other.
"I'm coming now. Should I bring Parker?"
"No, not yet." Brennan felt tears running down her cheeks.
"What do I tell him?" Brennan could hear the other women coming apart. "Hey, baby, how was school. By the way, your dad could die soon."
"They don't think he'll die," Brennan said, in a slightly robotic voice.

For the next three weeks, Booth would walk up occasionally, say a name or short sentence, then fall back into unconsciousness. But this was good, the doctors told them. This was an amazing improvement.

Seely Booth felt as though there was a hazy around his brain. Slowly, he felt the world start to seep through and flood into his thoughts. Slowly, he opened his eyes.
'Arghh," he thought. 'Too bright.'
Closing his eyes, he considered curling back up into the corner of his mind he'd been hiding in for a long while, then heard a voice.
"Bren, did he just open his eyes?"
"I think he did. Ange, I think he did."
"Your babies gunna have a daddy, sweetie."
"I know, oh my god, I know."
Bones? Angela? A baby? At that moment, Booth felt an overwhelming urge:
"Kara," he sighed.
"What? What did he say? Do you know a Kara?"
"Seely, babe, what did you say?"
Starting to drift off into unconsciousness again, he murmured,
"Kara Booth,"
"Bren, I think he just named the little girl in your stomach."
"Kara," Brennan said as Booth's eyes fluttered once more than closed.
:) I was gunna leave it as a oneshot (cause I'm lazy) but the TV is in for repairs and you all asked so polietly so now this is a mutilchapter story :) BTW I wasn't sure about Kara as the name.
