2. Tell me your secrit…
"Come in." she heard a voice say. Brennan was sitting in her office. "Oh, Ange, I was just writing a scene, Katy just found Lily. And she saved her."
"Sweetie, are you acting out you fantesies by writing about it?" Angela asked "Trought this way, you hope to save Melinda."
"That's not true, Melinda is not Lily." Brennan said "And I'm not acting out my fantasy."
"Sure you are sweetie, I can read between the lines. When you and Booth were not together, the book was a way to show you wanted more then a partner ship, and now you're tryiing to say, you want Melinda back, we all want that sweetie. But I think you have to face, that we are not going to see her again. She's been missing for over a year now. It's time you move on."
"I had to stop her".Brennan cried "I mean I should have told her, not to go for a dig in England. I should have stopped her, I.."
"Sweetie, you let her do, what she wanted the most. You did not know what was going to happen in Europe. You had not iday, she wouldn't come back." Angela said " We all miss her sweetie."
"What was up with Prue?" Brennan asked while she closed her laptop.
"Nothing special, girl trouble." Angela replied. "You know my friend just called this morning. She's 15, and she's pregnant. I don't know what to tell her. I mean she's paniced. She doesn't dare to tell her parents."
"Oh my god, do I know her?" Brennan asked "Is sure 100% sure?"
"Yes, she did like 4 home pregnancy tests. And all off them were positive." Angela replied "The father doesn't know either."
"I think you should send her to a docter, to confirm she's pregnant." Brennan replied "And I would subject you tell her parents."
"I promised her not to." Angela said "I promised I would keep her secrit."
"Well, someone ells need to know, someone needs to talk to her, family. An aunt, a father, her boyfriend. She can not make it trough this by herself. I mean, you can't keep a secrit like that. If it were Prue or one of my daugthers, I would like to know."
"It's Prue, she's the one that's pregnant." Angela replied "I can't keep it. I don't know what to tell her, what to do. She told me, and she didn't want me to tell you, cause she's afraid Booth finds out, and evantily Parker. She doesn't want him to know Tempe."
"Are you sure? She has slept with Parker?" Brennan stood up "What was she thinking, she's 15. When I was 15, my mind was not on sex."
"Bren, take it easy." Angela replied "Parker and Prue love echader, more then anything. Don't be mad with her, she's having a hard time. Not able to talk to her own mother. Going to college, and now a baby."
"I'm not mad, I'm just shocked. Booth is not going to be happy, when he hears Parker has knocked up, his high school sweathart. Somehow I think that brings bad memories. Plus, he's a christian. The entire thing about a baby out of wedlock. Parker didn't get it from a stranger. I got to talk to her. To Prue."
"You can't" Angela replied "She doesn't know that you know, and it would break the confidence she has in me."
"Why hasn't she told me." Brennan asked "I'm her aunt Tempe. I thought she trusted me."
"I think it's because of Booth, perhaps she was afraid Booth would overhear your conversation, and find out that she's pregnant."
"Who's pregnant?" Zach asked who just stepped in the office. "Are you pregnant again Dr. Brennan?"
"No." Brennan replied "Hell no, I'm not pregnant. Not at all. No babies for me, no more. 3 is enough."
"The, who's pregnant?" Zach asked
"Scarlett Johansen." Angela replied. "Yeah, Scarlett Johansen. Yes, knocked up by, uhm…, Brad Pitt. Angelina Jolie is not really happy with it."
Zach laughed and walked out of the office. "Who the hell are they?" Brennan asked.
"Not important, not important." Angela replied "What am I supose to do?"
"I have to talk to her, Ange. She can't be that mad that you told me."
"Alright, just wait untill she get a docter visit, maybe we are worried about nothing." Angela said. "Maybe, this is not true. Maybe she's not pregnant. And then maybe, just maybe, she'll tell you.I have to make an appoitment. With who?"
"Dr. Ruso, I went to her, when I was pregnant with Joy and Amy, and she was a real good gynocologist. You could also just visit a docter, let him do bledtest, but thos results are not that fast. When you visit a gynocologist, you'll know faster."
"Yes, but getting an appoitment, with Dr. Ruso, ain't easy." angela said "Can you call her, ask to squeze Melinda in her schedule."
Brennan knodded slow.
The next day:
Angela and Prue were sitting on cher waiting for the docter. Prue was afraid, she'd never done anything like this. She was nervos, and felt scared. She wanted her mum to be there, or atleast her aunt Tempe.
"I can't do this, Angela." Prue said. "I want my aunt Tempe hear, she's the closest thing I got, to mum being here."
"Do I need to call her for you, I think she could be here in a couple of minuts. And I could ask her not to tell Uncle Booth." Angela said "Then she'll be here, and I'll be here, for suport."
"Will you do that?" Prue sat looked at her. "I really want her to be here with me."
"I'll call her." angela walked out of the hospital, she dialed Brennans number. With in a couple on minuts Brennan was standing there.
"I was in the neighbourhoud. If she needed me. Where is she?" Brennan asked
"Inside." Angela pointed at the door. Brennan and Angela slowly walked in.
"Aunt Tempe!" she walked to her, and hugged her tight. "I'm sorry. I really didn't want that to happen. It jus did."
Brennan hugged her. "Don't be sorry, things like this happen." Brennan remembered Prue as a little girl, always waving at her, with those pink sheeks. Now the same girl was sitting next to her, knocked up. By her husbands sun. She had no iday, how to tell Booth. Previos night, she almost blurred, but she didn't tell him.
"Sweetie, everything is going to be fine." Brennan replied "If you are pregnant, then I'll help you with the baby. I'll see to it, that you'll still get a great education as a docter. Here in DC, there's a wonderfull university for a degree, I'll help you trough it. And if you decide not to keep the baby, I'll be there every step off the way. I'll do what Melinda would have done."
"Miss McGilligan, Melinda." A voice siad, the docter is ready to see you."
"I'll wait here, " Angela replied
"So, you think you're pregnant right?" the docter asked "When is the last time you've had sex?"
"7 weeks ago," Prue replied "I didn't get my period, so I did a test and it was positive."
"Okay, I'll just take some bled. And you can call for the resolt after 6." the docter said "If it is positive, we'll make appoitment for a ultrasound in a month. Okay?"
Brennans phone rang. It was Booth. "Booth, no I can't make it right now." She said.
"We've got a case, Bones," Booth said "I need you on the crime scene."
"Booth, I'm at the hospital," Brennan said "Something happened"
"Brennan, did you have an accident, are you okay?" Booth asked "do I need ot come?"
"Booth, it's not me." Brennan told him. "I can' t tell anything. But she really needs me her, more then you need me there. So can you call, Zach?"
"Did they find Melinda?" Booth asked
"It's not Melinda. I just really need ot be here."
She hang up the phone, she relased Booth was really worried about what she was doing in the hospital, but she couldn't tell him about Prue, and Parker. Not yet. She had to be sure first. And she
Needed Prue to be there when she told Booth.
Prue was standing behind her. She was afraid, you could see that in her eyes. Brennan took her home, with them. She threw the door to her house open, and walked in. Both they set down on the coutch. Both they were staring at the clock on the wall, waiting to take the phone. And know the results. Even if it would profe that she was pregnant, Parker had not come home yet. And Brennan was kind of relieved. Probably he was hanging out with some friends. Not knowing how is life was about to change.
"So are you goint to tell Parker, if it's positive." Brennan asked. Melinda shook her head."You have to tell him. You just have to."
"I don't want to ruin his future." Prue said "He's accepted in Julliard. And I want him to go, He doesn't dare to tell Booth, and he wants to stay here, because of me. But he has to go. He just has to go."
"And what about your dreams?" Brennan asked "Are you supose to give up everything you ever wanted? Do you want to be a single mum?
"No, I don't want that. I dream off getting in Standford, but it looks like it's going to be no college at all." Prue replied.
"Sweetie, you can go to Quantico, there is a university, were you can get an MD. If that is absolutely what you want, to be a docter. Or you could still go to Standford, you got in in every university in the whole country, every one would be happy to have you." Brennan said "If Standford is what you want, you gat to do it, you can't throw you future away on a mistake. If there is anyone can do it, it's you."
The clock finnaly showed 6 o'clock. Brennan took the phone in her hands, turned the number. The beep was very long. The phone got answered.
"hey, I'm calling for the test results off Prue McGillegan."Brennan asked. The woman didn't say anything, but started typing in her computer. You could here her type.
"Yeah, I'm the result is positive." The woman said "Congratulations, you're going to have a baby. You're seven weeks along."
"Thank you" Brennan said.
She looked at Prue who was crying. "What if I get an abortion, I won't have to tell Parker I was pregnant, and I'm off to Standford."
"Prue, you can't just get rid of the baby, without telling Parker, you're in this together." Brennan said "I mean you've got to trust him."
