-Chapter One-
The first few days after they had woken up and realized what they had done, had been incredibly awkward. Temperance had come up with some anthropological and logical reason as to why they had slept together while Seeley had simply stated that because the case was so tough, the sex had been a reward as well as a release. Their co-workers had picked up on the awkwardness, but the partners had dismissed it and the rest reluctantly dropped the subject. Now a few months later, Temperance Brennan was in a bit of a problematic situation.
"Damn." She whispered as she stared down at the piece of plastic in her hands.
"Brennan, I have a positive match on Bailey Morr." Angela said as she entered Brennan's office. Temperance quickly made to hide the object, but Angela spotted it before she could stuff it behind a pillow.
Angela smiled. "What is that?" She walked over and sat down next to her friend.
"Nothing!" Temperance exclaimed perhaps a little to quickly.
Angela narrowed her eyes. "When you say it like that, it means the opposite."
Brennan sighed. "It's nothing Ange."
"Sweetie," Angela rolled her eyes, "you should just tell me or I'll have to…" She thrust her hand under the pillow, pulled out the offending object and gasped. "Temperance!"
Brennan shushed her and quickly looked around and then back at her friend. Angela was making a series of squeaking and gasping noises and Brennan, not knowing exactly what to, clamped a hand over Angela's mouth, muffling the noises immediately.
"Shush." She slowly pulled her hand off of Angela's face and pulled the object out of her friends hands.
"Yes or no," Angela began, "this is yours."
"Yes."
"Booth?
"Yes."
"Drinks?"
Brennan chuckled. "Yes."
"Keeping?"
"Of course."
Angela sighed and stood up.
"You're leaving?"
"For now. We are going to talk more later." She bent down and hugged her friend. "Congratulations."
"Thanks." Brennan answered, slightly in a daze. She continued to sit there until Booth stuck his head into the room.
"Bones, we've got a suspect, I'll be in the car." He turned and walked towards the entrance.
Brennan sighed and stood up. She walked over to her desk and stood with a hand on her stomach smiling slightly. Then, as soon as it had come, the smile turned to a frown. She sighed again and opened a drawer in her desk quickly dropping the object inside. She grabbed her jacket and bag and quickly ran out the door.
--
Back inside Dr. Temperance Brennan's office, inside a drawer in her desk, lay a pregnancy test that was marked with a pink, positive, plus sign.
