A/N: I don't own Bones
"I don't want to do this, Booth, please, just make it STOP!" Brennan screamed into Booth's ear as another contraction ran through her.
"You just have to hang in there. It's going to be fine!" Booth reassured her.
Tears were streaming like a river out of Brennan's eyes.
"No! Seeley, it HURTS! Something's wrong with the baby! I'm three months premature! I can't do this!" Brennan argued back. Booth squeezed her hand and shot the paramedics apprehensive glances.
They were riding in the ambulance on their way to the hospital. Only an hour before, Booth had awoken Brennan from her unconscious state on the gas station floor. About fifteen minutes afterwards, Brennan had gone into premature labor.
"After everything she's been through in the past two months, this was bound to happen." A paramedic remarked as he took her blood pressure. More tears escaped from Brennan's eyes, and Booth shot the paramadic an evil glare.
Booth winced as Brennan let out a terrifying scream. She was holding onto his hand so hard that it was a delicate shade of blue.
"Everything is going to be okay. I promise." Booth soothed her as he kissed her on the head. They had pulled into the hospital parking lot.
Bones leaned back against the stretcher and began to moan in pain.
Booth held her hand and continued to reassure her.
But he needed a little reassurance himself.

"One last push Dr. Brennan!" The doctor yelled at her. She grasped Booth's hand and gave it all she had. "You did it!" The doctor exclaimed. Brennan let out a breath and collapsed against the bed.
"You did it sweetie. You did it." Booth said as he kissed her on the forehead. Brennan didn't respond to him.
"Seeley..." She asked.
"What?"
"...Why isn't the baby crying? Why isn't the baby crying?!" Brennan asked as she began to hyperventilate.
Booth didn't answer her. "Doctor..." He asked slowly. The doctor immediately placed the baby into a nurses arms and they all rushed out of the room.
"No! Bring me my baby!" Brennan screamed. "Seeley! What's wrong with the baby?" Brennan asked in panic.
"I don't know..." Booth asked. Nurses began running in and out of the room, and Booth tried to stop them, but they each brushed him off with a 'Sorry' and continued on their way.
Brennan and Booth waited a few moments, and then a doctor walked back into the room with his head hung low. Bones took a hold of Booth's hand and waited.
"Dr. Brennan, Mr. Booth." The doctor started. "I'm very sorry, but," The doctor continued. A loud sob escaped from Brennan's mouth as she dug her head into Booth's chest. She knew what the doctor was about to tell her. "I'm deeply sorry to tell you this, but, the baby was a stillborn." The doctor said softly.
Bones emitted another loud sob and grasped onto Booth's shirt. He hugged her as a blank expression came over him.
"I'll leave you two alone." The doctor nodded as he walked out.
He left an emotionally distraught mother and a shocked father sitting alone in the hospital room.

"What was the baby?" Booth asked with no emotion. He was empty, and he was having a hard time feeling anything.
"It was a boy." The nurse replied. Booth felt a sickening feeling wash over him, and he ran across the room into the bathroom. He made it just in time before he emptied out the contents of his stomach. He could hear Brennan start to cry again, and it broke Booth's heart.
They were a broken family.
