-Chapter Three-
Seeley Booth stormed into Temperance Brennan's room. She looked up surprised and noted his angry expression.
"You're pregnant?!"
Brennan inhaled sharply. She hadn't expected this kind of confrontation. Booth looked at her, obviously demanding an answer.
"Yes." She whispered.
"Well why didn't you tell me?!"
"I didn't know how!"
"It's simple. 'I'm pregnant!'" Booth yelled. "You should have told me! You could have died. The baby could have died!" He stormed out of the room leaving Temperance Brennan in tears.

After a long walk to cool down Booth made his way back to the hospital. When he got to Brennan's room Angela stepped out.
"Angela, hey!" Booth said as he tried to get past her. She blocked him.
"Hey!" She replied with fake cheeriness in her voice.
"Is Bones awake?"
"Yes, she is, but I don't think she wants to see you."
He stopped his attempts to get past the woman. "She said that?"
"Not in so many words. She called me in tears. Wanted me to just 'sit' with her. I don't know what you said to her, but if Brennan was crying, pregnant or not, it had to be bad." She made to turn, but Booth put a hand on her shoulder.
"Angela, please."
She sighed. "If you hurt her again you will have a very pissed of facial reconstructionist on your ass. And not in the good way." She slapped him playfully on the shoulder.
"Thank you."

Brennan expected to see Angela when she looked up when she heard the door open, but was greeted with the sight of her partner instead. He stood there in an awkward silence before finally speaking.
"Bones, listen, I'm…" He started.
"I'm sorry." She began.
"What? Wait, what do you have to be sorry for?" He asked.
"For not telling you. I should have, but I didn't know how. I guess I was in denial. That telling you would make it real. I didn't want it to be real. I'm not ready for this responsibility. I'm not ready to be a mother." She was in tears by the time she finished talking.
Booth quickly made his way over to the bed and pulled Brennan into a hug. "Bones I'm sorry I yelled at you. I'm so sorry."
--
When Angela went back into the room hours later, she found Temperance asleep in a sleeping Seeley's arms. She smiled a small smile, grabbed her coat, and purse and left.

A/N: So I've come to notice that my chapters aren't as long on fanfiction as they are in Word. I apologize. The faster you faster/more you review, the faster/more I update. Simple. You give, I give. ;-)
