I have a feeling you guys will LOVE this chapter. i enjoyed writing it.

Brennan came out of the Jeffersonian a couple minutes after Bryce and went over to Booth's SUV. "Everything ok Bren?" Angela asked as her friend walked up.

"Yes, he asked for another chance, I told him no and then he asked what I had decided to name them so I told him. That was all I told him, he shouldn't be bothering me anymore." Brennan was proud of herself and got into the SUV when no one had any more questions.

"Bren, are you going to tell Studly here the awesome news?" Angela asked, remembering what happened her office just moments ago.

"What happened? Is everything ok?" Booth asked, sounding a bit panicked.

"Everything is fine Booth. I felt the babies kick today." Brennan turned to see her partner and a smile across his face.

"Bones, that's fantastic! I remember when Parker kicked, it's a wild thing." Booth smiled thinking about his son. They pulled up to Home Depot and went straight to the paint section.

"Hello folks, what can I help you with?" The man at the desk asked. His name was Luke, according to the name on his orange apron.

"We need paint for a nursery." Angel spoke up, she was the most excited and wanted to get started.

"Congratulations. You two must be very happy." Luke said, looking at Booth and Brennan.

"We aren't together."

"We're not dating" Booth and Brennan said at the same time. Luke looked at Angela and she just rolled her eyes and smiled.

"Right, of course, my apologies ma'am. What color did you have in mind?" Luke and Brennan went right to work talking about what color choice would be best and which brand is better. Angela hung back with Booth and asked him a question that threw him off.

"When are you going to tell her?"

"Tell her what?" Booth knew what Angela was talking about, but he could be wrong.

"Don't play stupid. I know you know what I'm talking about." Angela looked sideways at Booth and saw the he was looking at Brennan with a slight smile.

"I don't know Ange. She has so much going on and I don't want to freak her out." It was true, Booth knew he was going to have to tell Brennan that he loved her sooner or later, but he didn't know how.

"Seeley," Booth looked at Angela. She NEVER uses my name, oh crap "you need to do it before it's too late. She cares for you, and you care for her, man up and tell her." He laughed at her choice of words. Not so long ago, Gordon Gordon had told him to 'Grow a set! Be a man! Step up!'. "Those kids are going to need a dad. I can't think of a better person for her." Angela was right, he needed to let her know that he was there for her in every way possible.

"I have what I need." They two were broken out of their conversation by Brennan carrying two cans of paint.

"Bones, here, let me carry those. You don't need to be lifting heavy things." Booth knew her answer was going to be no.

"Booth, I can handle it." Booth shook his head.

"Humor me Bones." Booth took the cans of paint and went to go pay for them.

Later that day Booth, Angela, Hodgins, and Sweets were at Brennan's apartment to help convert her office into the nursery for Micah and McKenna. Brennan and Angela were sitting in her kitchen while the men moved everything out so they could start painting. "What's wrong Bren?" Angela asked as she watched her friend rub her pregnant belly with watery eyes.

"I find that I am not I'm in complete control of my emotions right now." Brennan said, wiping her eyes with hand.

"Why, what's going on?" Angela asked, moving closer.

"Angela, I am about to be a mother of two, a single mother at that, and I guess I'm just now realizing how hard it's going to be." Brennan really didn't know how she was going to raise these kids.

"You have your hamlet of 800 people or less right here." The two ladies turned around to find Booth leaning against the wall looking right a Brennan. She smiled remembering when he asked her to help Parker see that he didn't need a girlfriend. Looking at him now it all became clear. "We moved all the items you wanted us to move. I think we're ready to paint. You gals coming?" Angela got up and looked to Brennan, who was having a more difficult time getting out of her chair. Booth moved to help her up. Brennan didn't see this gesture and got more momentum than she wanted and ended up bumping into Booth. Brennan let out an 'oof' and Booth instinctively put his arms around her to keep her from falling.

"Sorry." Brennan whispered looking into Booth's eyes. They were soft, brown and warm and she couldn't pull her eyes away from them. Her belly was touching his abdomen and at the very moment one of the babies kicked and Booth felt it. His eyes lit up and a smile spread across his face.

"Did one of them just kick me?" Booth asked looking down at Brennan's pregnant belly.

"It came from the right side. The last time I went to the doctor they said that McKenna is on the right, she wants to say hi." Brennan replied with a smile on her face. They were both caught up in the moment that they didn't realize that Angela had left to go help the boys paint the room.

"Hi McKenna, its Uncle Booth, we are putting you and you're brother's room together right now." Booth said, getting on his knees so he was level with her belly. "You are going to have one of the best rooms in this apartment complex. " He looked up at Brennan and asked, "Can I put my hand here?" Brennan nodded and so he placed his hand on her belly and felt another kick. Booth let out a tiny laugh and his smile got bigger.

"I think she likes you." Brennan looked down at Booth who was staring at her stomach in amazement. Booth then did something that surprised them both; he placed a tiny kiss on her shirted stomach. "Booth" Brennan whispered as Booth got up and was standing nose to nose with her. Booth was about to explain his reason when he was interrupted by someone yelling his name.

"BOOTH, DR. BRENNAN!" Sweets yelled, followed by a 'Sweets what the hell' from Hodgins. Booth put his forehead on hers, closed his eyes and sighed.

"BE RIGHT THERE." He yelled back and he noticed Brennan jump a bit. "Sorry" he murmured. Booth looked Brennan in the eye and said, "We need to talk later." Turning around she thought she heard him say 'I'm going to kill that kid.'

It took a minute for Brennan to recover from what just happened. She then followed Booth to her office to see what Sweets wanted. Brennan walked in to find all of her friends painting the walls of her office a nice Moss Green color. They all seemed to be working in tandem and didn't know if they really needed her help. "Do you guys need any help?" She asked, standing in the door way.

"I think we are about done with his coat Dr. Brennan." Sweets said, paint roller in hand.

"I'm getting kinda hungry." Hodgins said, turning around to face Brennan.

"I could order some lunch. Does pizza sound good?" Brennan normally didn't eat pizza, but apparently the babies wanted pizza.

"Pizza and beer couldn't think of anything better." Booth said, smiling at Brennan.

"I will go buy some more beer. I seem to be out." She looked at Booth as she said the last part.

"What makes you think I did it?" Booth asked.

"I never said you drank all my beer Booth. You were the one that jumped to the conclusion." Brennan had a smug smile on her face and walked back to the kitchen to order the pizza.

"Dr. B, you ready to go get the beer?" Hodgins asked walking into the kitchen.

"Yes I am."

"Angela thinks that I should go with you. It looks kinda bad if a pregnant woman is buying a mass amount of beer." Hodgins informed her with a laugh.

"That sounds logical. Will you be driving, or am I driving?" She asked the bug man.

"Booth also said that you shouldn't be driving." Hodgins told her. He saw Brennan's face go from happy to annoyed in a split second. "Hey, don't shoot the messenger." He said arms up in surrender.

"I don't know what that means." She replied as Hodgins ushered her out the door.

Brennan and Hodgins were standing in front of the beer section of the gas station trying to decide which beer to get. "Dr. Hodgins, what type of beer do you think they would like?" Brennan asked.

"Dr. B it doesn't matter, its alcohol, we don't care." Hodgins said, grabbing some Shiner Bock and heading to the register.

"Will this be all?" The lady at the register asked them. "Oh, how far along are you?" she asked, looking at Brennan's pregnant stomach.

"Almost 6 months." Brennan responded politely.

"You two must be very happy." Hodgins started laughing and Brennan looked at the lady with a strange look.

"We are not together. He is not the father." Brennan told the lady, she then grabbed the beer and walked out of the gas station with Hodgins behind her.

"Come on Dr. B, she didn't know." Hodgins told her in the car on the way back to Brennan's apartment. "She saw you then saw me and jumped to the conclusion that we were together. It's a common mistake."

"I understand." She said, and looked out the window. When they reached her apartment she got and headed up. When they got to the door Brennan turned around and asked, "Why did you start laughing?"

"What? I wasn't laughing." He said, as they walked into her apartment.

"Yes you did. She said 'You two must be happy' and then you starting laughing. Why?" They entered the kitchen and Hodgins put the beer in the fridge to keep himself busy.

"It's not what you think." He said turning around to find his boss on the verge of tears. "Hey, Dr. B, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done it." He walked closer and she said something that made him stop.

"Do I really look that repulsive?" She was being serious. When Brennan looked in the mirror every morning she thought she looked like a whale.

"No. You're not repulsive." Hodgins said walking to stand in front of Brennan. "I laughed because I couldn't picture us together as a couple and having a baby. Not because I think you're repulsive, but because I think of you more as my cousin."

"Cousin?" Brenna was totally confused.

"Yeah, we're close, but we both know that we aren't close enough for you to consider me a brother and vice versa." Brennan smiled at this. It was true, Hodgins and her were close, but not as brother or sister.

"I understand your reason for laughing now. I apologize for getting so upset."

"No sweat Dr. B." Hodgins said, returning her smile. The doorbell rang, signaling that the pizza was here.

"That should be the pizza; you may want to tell everyone that food is here. I might eat it all." Brennan said, walking towards the door.

The nursery was finished and everyone had left, except for Booth. Brennan was in the kitchen cleaning up the plates and Booth was sitting on the couch watching ESPN. About a year ago, Booth had convinced Brennan to get a TV, and she caved. When she was done cleaning she went to the nursery to look at it for the 100th time that day.

Standing in the doorway, she took a good look around. To the left of the door there was a changing station and on the wall next to it was a dresser already stocked with clothes, courtesy of Angela, and a mirror hanging above it. On the wall opposite of the door were the names of her babies in wooden letters. Micah's name was in blue and McKenna's was in pink. Even though Brenna didn't like the color pink Angela had bullied her into having her daughter's name in pink. There was a wooden rocking chair in the corner next to a book shelf that had some baby books in it already, thanks to Booth. Parker had told his dad that he wanted to help Brennan with the baby and asked if he could give her some of his old baby books. Brennan couldn't have been happier. In the middle of the room was the crib.

"What's going on in that big brain of yours Bones?" Booth asked, coming to stand behind her. He noticed the slight jump she gave as he startled her.

"It's really happening. I'm having two babies." Brennan said. "What if I'm not ready Booth?" Booth stepped closer and wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his hands on her stomach. She tensed up a bit, but then relaxed against him. She rested her head against his shoulder and sighed.

"You're going to be a great mom. Don't think twice about it." He whispered in her ear and kissed her temple.

"How can you be so sure?" she asked turning her head to look at him.

"You are great with Parker. He loves you. Remember Andy? You were great with him, and you are really great with Russ's little girls. You are going to be a great mom. OK?" Brennan nodded and turned to face the new room.

"It looks great Booth, thank you." Brennan said after a while. Micah decided he wanted to say thank you too, so he gave his mom a huge kick. "Yes, Micah says thanks." Brennan rubbed the spot where her son just kicked her. Booth moved his hand and placed it over hers and linked their fingers together.

"Bones," Booth began Now or never Seeley, "These kids are going to need a father figure in their lives and, um, if it's ok with you, I could be there to help. Ya know… if you need it." Booth stood there waiting for Bones' reply.

"The thought accrued to me that I can't raise these two on my own." Brennan said and Booth let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.

"I'm just a phone call away." He told her.

"What if I don't want you a phone call away?" She told him, lowering her voice and turning her head into his neck.

"Well, where do you want me?" He whispered back, laying his head on hers and breathing in her scent. Is this really happening? Don't wake up, don't wake up?

"Booth, were you even listening?" Brennan asked, stepping out of his arms and turning to face him.

Shit. "What was the question?" He asked. Hoping he wouldn't get yelled at for not listening.

"You weren't listening! That was probably the biggest moment of your life and you weren't even paying attention!" Brennan told him, brushing past him and heading towards the kitchen.

"Wait! Bones," Booth said following her, "what do you mean 'it was'? Are you saying that the moment is over? That I don't get a chance to answer you because I was thinking that I was dreaming? Because there is no way I was just holding the one person…" then he stopped. Could he say it? Man up Seeley, you want this.

"The one person what?" Brennan asked, eating a slice of cold pizza. "What were you going to say Booth?"

Booth took a step forward and finished, "The one person that I," He took a deep breath and another step forward, taking the pizza out of Brennan's hands. Reaching for hers he finally said what he had wanted to say for years, "that I love."

"You love me?" Brennan asked quietly.

"More than you will ever know." Booth said moving so that her belly was once again pushing against him. It was clear to him that she was thinking. He could practically see the wheels turning in her mind. He wouldn't push her, because he knew that if he did she might run. He waited for what seemed like days, but was really only five minutes.

"I find that I feel very strongly for you too. I don't know if I can say it yet, but," she looked up at him with a smile, "someday."

"That's all I need Bones. Can I kiss you?" Booth being the perfect gentlemen wanted to make sure she was ok with it. She nodded and he pressed his lips gently to hers. Once wasn't enough he decided and wrapped his arms around her as much as possible and felt her respond. When they both came up for air they looked at each other with smiles. "I love you so much Bones."

"I know." Brennan hugged Booth and went to sit on the couch. He followed and spent the rest of the night cuddled up watching TV.

Yay for B&B moments and professing of love.

love you guys to bits and pieces. have a good weekend! :)
