"Bones, what are you talking about?" Booth asked as Temperance stared into his chocolate brown eyes.
"I'm…I'm pregnant, Booth." She stuttered. Booth's jaw dropped as he watched her fight back tears. "I wasn't feeling well when I was getting Lily dressed, and I remembered that I had missed my last period…"
"So you told her you were going pot--to the bathroom and you did a pregnancy test." Booth finished for her. Temperance nodded slowly, looking down at her thighs. "Bones…"
"Booth, I'm so sorry. The first one must've been wrong." She said quickly. "I can't believe I'm pregnant with that monster's--"
"Temperance." Booth interrupted her. She looked up at him with tears in her bright blue orbs. "Sully may've been a monster, but this baby is going to be a blessing."
"I don't believe in God…" Temperance mumbled, making Booth chuckle.
"It doesn't matter if you believe or not." He said, smiling and cupping her face in his hands. "Like I told you, I will treat this baby as my own." He added. Temperance smiled weakly and nodded, closing her eyes to prevent the tears from falling. Booth slowly pulled her to him, and she snuggled into his chest as they heard footsteps outside the doorway.
"Daddy?" Lily said, peeking her head in. Temperance lifted herself up and smiled at her daughters.
"Hey babies." She said quietly. Anna and Lily immediately sensed something was wrong with their mother, and ran to her.
"Momma, what's wrong?" Anna asked, wiping a tear from Temperance's cheek.
"Did daddy make you sad?" Lily asked, glaring at her father.
"No, sweetie. Daddy made me happy again." Temperance said, stealing a glance at Booth and smiling.
"Oh." Anna said. "That's good."
"Can we leave now?" Lily asked. Booth chuckled as they stood up and walked towards the hallway.
"Oh, now miss 'I don't wanna be pretty' wants to leave for the gala ASAP?" Booth asked, following his daughters down the stairs.
"Well…" Lily said shyly as everyone got their jackets on. "I look cuter than normal…" She said, smiling at Anna, who was agreeing with her sister.
"We both do, don't we daddy?" Anna asked, stepping out the front door in front of her father.
"You sure do." He said, wrapping his arm around Temperance's waist and smiling at her. "So does your mom." He added, sneaking a kiss onto Temperance's cheek.
"Momma! Look!" Anna squealed as she and Lily walked into the large room with their parents. She and Lily were pointing across the room to where Zack and Hodgins were standing by the refreshments.
"Can we go see Uncle Jack and Uncle Zack?" Lily asked, putting her hands together in front of her and pouting out her bottom lip, looking up at her mother.
"I suppose…" Temperance said. Anna and Lily thanked their mother, then contained their energy as they walked over to their 'uncles', all the while Temperance keeping a close eye on them.
"Bones, they're fine." Booth said, slipping his hand into hers. "This is a whole room full of squints. I think Anna and Lily will be fine." Temperance rolled her eyes at him and watched as Anna ran into Jack's legs and Lily almost toppled Zack over.
"I know, I just can't help but worry." She said. Booth gave her hand a slight squeeze, then pulled her around so she was facing him.
"Would you care to dance?" He asked, taking an over exaggerated bow. Temperance giggled quietly, then took his open hand.
"I'd be delighted." She said, curtsying. Booth smiled, then brought her over to the dance floor where a soft song was playing. As they danced, Booth saw Temperance glancing over his shoulder at the girls ever so often.
"Temperance. We're dancing. Just you and me." He whispered, making her shudder at his hot breath on her ear. She smiled as Booth rested his cheek against hers as they continued to dance. When the song was almost over, she heard Booth singing along.
"Are you singing?" She asked, making Booth blush.
"Not anymore…" He mumbled, pulling away slightly.
"Why…?" She said quietly, moving and resting her forehead on his. Booth smiled meekly and continued to sing the last few chords. When the song was done, they both smiled and Booth leaned in towards her face.
"Daddy!"
Booth sighed, then pulled away and looked down at his daughter.
"Yes, miss Lily?" He asked, looking at the five-year-old who had her hands on her hips.
"Daddy, Auntie Angie said that you looked hot. Did momma get you sick?" She asked, her big brown eyes full of concern.
"Uh…" Booth said. Temperance put her own hands on her hips and glanced over to where Anna was sitting with Angela and shook her head.
