-Chapter Two-
Brennan sighed as she tried to button her pants. "This isn't working." She said to her stomach. "You're father is going to going to find out about you soon." She sighed again and reached for a skirt with an elastic waistband, grinning when it fit over her bump. She was four months along and while some people had noticed and suspected, no one knew for sure, and Booth was still completely clueless.

As Booth and Brennan were making their way up to as suspects house, a gun went off. Booth ran towards the door, kicked it open and cuffed the suspect. When he looked back at Brennan he saw that she was on the ground.
"Booth!" She exclaimed as she tried to put pressure on her wound. Booth hit the suspect over the head, and ran over to help his partner. "This is Special Agent Booth, I need an ambulance at 4469 Willow Street." He hung up and looked down at his unconscious partner. "Hang on Temperance."

Brennan awoke in a hospital bed. She groggily looked around at her surroundings. Suddenly she remembered what had happened and put a hand on her stomach. The doctor chose that exact moment to enter the room.
"The baby's fine." He assured her.
"Then why do you look nervous?" She questioned frantically, not knowing if she really wanted to know.
"We didn't know that you were pregnant. We took an x-ray to see where the bullet was, and we saw the fetus."
Temperance was quiet as she processed what had been said.
"The radiation shouldn't harm the baby. The exposure was minimal. If you have any questions, please, don't hesitate to ask." The doctor turned to leave.
"Wait!" He turned. "Can I see the x-ray?" The doctor smiled, pulled the x-ray out of the envelope and handed it to the other doctor.
"Thanks." The bullet had lodged itself into her seventh rib. She looked and was able to see part of a small skeleton before the x-ray was cut off. She smiled slightly. That was her baby.
"Thank you." She handed the x-ray back to the doctor. He smiled and nodded before turning and heading out of the door.

Booth saw the doctor come out of his partner's room and he practically pounced on the man.
"Is she awake?" He quickly asked.
"Yes, she's…" Booth cut him off.
"Is she okay? Is that her x-ray?" He pulled the object out of his grasp and held it up to the light. "Is that…" He trailed off.
"Yes. That is Miss Brennan's baby." The doctor offered a small smile and left.
Booth stood there for a few moments longer still holding the x-ray. "She's pregnant?"

A/N: I realize that seeing the baby/fetus on an x-ray may be unlikely, but this is fiction! Deal with it. :-) Please review!
