Hey peps! i made a mistake in the last chapter, but it ended up being awesome. the last part with Brennan talking to the babies was supposed to be the start of THIS chapter. -shrugs- oh well.
Anyway, thanks for all the reviews and the help on the names. Girls names are so difficult. :\
I dont own Bones blah blah blah.
"Hey Bones, I brought Tai." Booth said, to break the awkward silence.
"Thanks Booth. The doctor said that they can hear me now, so I was just saying 'hello'. Why don't you get the food out and we will watch the DVD." Brennan moved to get her DVD when Booth stopped her by grabbing her arm.
"Bones, I…I heard what you said. I'm sorry Bryce is such a jerk." Booth looked into Brennan's eyes, which were watering, so he brought his thumb to wipe away the fallen tear. "Hey, it's ok; everything is going to work out." He wrapped Brennan in a 'guy hug' and she relaxed into his arms. The stood there for a few more moments and Booth finally spoke, "How about we eat and look at your babies, huh?" Brennan looked up at him and it took every ounce of self-control Booth had to not kiss her right then and there.
"Ok. These kids are really hungry. I don't know where they get it from. I never knew Bryce loved to eat." The two partners smiled at each other and got everything they needed to eat and watch the DVD. They sat down on the couch with their Tai and Brennan put the DVD in her laptop. A fuzzy picture came up on screen.
"Bones, it's your babies! What are you having?" Booth was so excited. Brennan had to point out everything in the DVD.
"Here is the bo-" Brennan couldn't even finish her sentence when Booth interrupted her.
"Bones you're having two boys!" Booth exclaimed.
"No Booth." Booth's faced dropped. "I'm having a boy AND a girl." At these words Booth's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Bones, that's fantastic! I'm so happy for you! Wow a boy and a girl, that's just wow." Booth just kept rambling on about how happy he was for Brennan and she started laughing. She had never seen Booth this worked up over something.
"I'm very happy Booth. Bryce seemed very happy too. He said that letting him be there with me today meant the world to him." Brennan looked down at her hands. "Booth, how much did you hear before I saw you at the door?"
Booth knew he should tell her the truth, but wasn't sure how she would take it. "I came in when you were talking about how Bryce isn't reliable and everything after." Booth saw Brennan's eyes widen and she buried her head in her hands. "Bones, come on, talk to me."
"I don't know what to do Booth." Brennan sounded defeated. "Bryce says that he loves me, but how can someone love me but at the same time not want to be around me? I just don't understand." She sighed and put her head on his shoulder.
"Bryce is a jerk Bones." Good response Seeley. "Any man in his right mind would love to be in a relationship with you." Pointing at the computer he said, "These kids are going to have the best parents. Yes, you guys are going to have to work through some issues, but in the end, you are going to have a beautiful family."
"What if I don't want that with him?" Brennan said almost as a whisper. The only way Booth heard that was because her face was next to his ear. Booth tensed a bit and got a shocked looked on his face. He looked down at her and she met his gaze. "What if I want it with someone else?"
"Bones," Booth whispered, "you have to at least try." Brennan sighed, got up and walked to her desk. "I…I…I'm just gunna get going. Rebecca is letting me take Parker for the day, so I need to go pick him up. I'll, uh, call you later."
"Yeah, you need to spend time with your son. Tell him 'hello' for me." Brennan smiled as Booth walked out of her office. She sat at her desk and looked at her sonogram and started to cry.
"Sweetie, are you ok? Why are you crying? Is it Bryce? Did he hurt you?" Angela went crazy with the questions as she walked in and saw her best friend crying.
"No, Angela, it's not Bryce, it's these stupid pregnancy hormones. I'm fine, but I could use some pie. Want to go to the diner?" Brennan really wanted some pie and Angela thought she could get some girl-talk out of Brennan.
The trip to the diner had been quiet and now the two were sitting at their table eating. "Wow Bren, you wanna slow down on the pie? That's like your third piece. Are you sure that you aren't carrying Booth's kids?" Angela joked and Brennan shoveled the last pieces of pie into her mouth.
"I am not having Booth's kids Angela. That would mean we would have to have sexual intercourse and that would mean we would have to have feelings for each other." Brennan pushed her plate to the side with more force than intended and it knocked over her drink and spilt on the table and on to Angela's lap. "Damn it! I am so sorry Angela."
"It's ok Bren, it's just water, and my clothes will be fine." Angela said dabbing up the water. "Are you sure you are ok Bren? Is there something you want to talk about?" Angela was worried about her best friend.
"I honestly don't know Ange." With a sigh Brennan told Angela what had happened in her office before she walked in. "Then he just left to go pick up Parker and said that he would 'call me later'. I don't know what to do about all of this."
Angela had to hold back the squeal that she wanted to release. The two people she wanted to be together were finally figuring things out. "I hate to say it, but Booth might be right on this one. Hear me out," Brennan gave the artist a look that she had never seen before, it was a mix of 'what the hell' and 'whose side are you on', "let Bryce know that this is his last chance to play nice before you start taking action. If Bryce doesn't stop being, well…Bryce, then you can tell him 'hey you had your chance and ya blew it bucko'."
"Yeah, but it seems like he only comes back whenever ever it has something to do with the twins. I need help with stuff too ya know. My back is starting to hurt, I'm having horrible mood changes, and I just want someone to hold me and tell me things are going to be ok." All of this was so un-Brennan like Angela didn't know what to say right away. "I screwed things up Ange, I told him I didn't want to be in a relationship with him."
"OK, well, that's why you have a knight in shining FBI standard-issue body armor. He is there for the taking sweetie; let him be at your every beck and call. Trust me, he wants to." Angela told her best friend.
With a groan Brennan said, "But HE is the one who told me to give Bryce a chance. Booth doesn't want it Angela. I'm going back to the lab, I'll see you later." Brennan got up to leave when a small human collided with her legs.
"Hi Dr. Bones!" Brennan looked down to see Parker Booth smiling up at her.
"Hey Parker," Brennan looked around for Booth but couldn't see him. "Where is your dad? You didn't come here alone did you?" Right on cue, Booth entered the diner.
"Parker Booth, how many times have I told you not to run off like that? Ma'am I am…" Booth let out a sigh and looked up to see who his son was holding on to. "Oh, hey Bones, sorry about that."
"Sorry daddy." Parker responded with a guilty voice. "Daddy, is Dr. Bones eating with us?" The young boy looked between the two adults with hopeful eyes.
"Angela and I already ate, Parker, sorry." Brennan said as Angela walked up beside her. "But if it's ok with your dad I can stop by tonight and say hi." Brennan looked to Booth, "We need to finish paper work anyway."
"Can she daddy? PLEASE!" Parker looked at his dad with folded hands, praying his father would say yes. The adults laughed and Booth nodded in agreement. "Thank you so much!" Parker hugged his father and then turned to Brennan and Angela to say goodbye and give them both hugs as well.
"See ya later studly." Angela told Booth with a wink, and walked out the door.
"I should get going Booth; I'll stop by with the paper work at around 8. Bye." Without waiting for an answer, Brennan was out the door.
