hello everyone! Thank you to all who reviewed last chapter, it means a lot to me :)
This chapter didn't take me long to write. I hope you guys enjoy it.
I don't own Bones, blah, blah, blah. If i did Hannah wouldn't be here, Zack wouldn't be in a psych ward, Parker would be in more episodes, and B&B would be together.
Two months had passed since Booth had told Brennan how he felt. Things were going great, she would let him rub her feet at the end of the day, give her back rubs, and bring over the occasional burrito at one in the morning. Micah likes burritos, who knew? Brennan was 34 weeks pregnant and looked like she could burst any second. She still had 8 more weeks left until her due date and couldn't wait. It was a sunny May day and she was wearing one of the dresses Angela had bought her a couple weeks ago. She walked into the ice cream shop and was greeted by the owner, Hal. "Hey, Dr. Brennan, how are the twins?"
"They're doing great Hal. They seem to enjoy kicking my insides." Brennan replied. Over the last couple months Brennan had been stopping in here to get her sugar fix, scoop of mint chocolate chip with M&Ms.
"Here ya go. Put some extra M&Ms on there for M&M." Hal said, handing her the dessert with a smile. Ever since people had learned that she was naming her children Micah and McKenna they have been nicknaming them M&M. Looking back she was sure it was Angela that had started it. Reaching for her wallet to pay for her ice cream Hal stopped her. "On the house Dr. Brennan."
"It's in my hand, not on a house." Brennan replied. Hal smiled and said.
"It means you don't have to pay for it. I got the tab." Hal was used to Brennan's lack of understanding common phrases. "Where's that man of yours? Doesn't he normally come with you?" Hal was used to seeing Brennan and Booth in here, sometime accompanied by Parker.
"His boss needed him in early this morning and hasn't gotten a break since." She told Hal with a look of disappointment on her face. Then an idea occurred to her, "Can I get one more, chocolate with gummy bears? I'm thinking of surprising him in his office." Hal nodded and got her the order. Brennan insisted on paying for this one, thanked Hal and headed towards the Hoover.
Pulling up to the Hoover she got out of her car, ice cream in hand. She had finished most of hers sitting in the parlor talking to Hal. Walking into the building she saw Charlie exiting the elevators. "Charlie is Booth in his office?" she asked the Agent.
"Yeah, be careful walking in there. He's not in the best mood. Mounds of paperwork can make a man go crazy." Charlie replied, giving Brennan the warning. She thanked him and headed towards the elevators. Once on his floor she went straight to his office. She could hear people talking in his office, they weren't yelling, but it sounded bad.
"Agent Booth, I need that report done right away. I asked you to finish it this morning. That was 5 hours ago! I need this done NOW!" Cullen demanded.
"Yes sir, I'm sorry sir, right away." Booth said, holding back what he really wanted to say. Do you see the mass amounts of paper on my desk? Don't you see how damn busy I am? It's not like that report is all the important, it's about a break in that happened a month ago! Booth kept his cool and just let his boss have at him.
Brennan saw Cullen leaving his office and hid from sight, she didn't need Booth getting into too much trouble from her visit. Once she knew that Cullen was gone she walked up to his office and knocked on the door. "Now what?" Booth said without looking up. When he finally did look up he saw his beautiful pregnant partner holding his favorite type of ice cream. All the stress of the day just seemed to fade away when he looked at her.
"Hi." Brennan's voice was small as she looked at her stressed out partner. "I brought you some ice cream. I may or may not have eaten some of it." Brennan has taken a bite here and there, but there was still a decent amount left.
"Thanks. You can come in." He said, seeing her still standing in the doorway. She walked in and closed the door. Booth got up and met her halfway. He took the ice cream from her hands and set in on his desk and turned to her. "How did you know I wanted chocolate with gummy bears?"
"It's what you got last time." Brennan said looking into his eyes.
"Yes, but I don't always get that, so how did you know this time?" Booth was fishing for an answer and Brennan knew it.
"I guessed?" She said in a questioning voice.
"Temperance Brennan never guesses. Try again."
"Hal suggested it."
"Nope."
Finally giving in she answered, "I know you."
"Damn straight." He leaned in and kissed her. She tasted like mint, chocolate, and somewhere behind all of that was a taste that was just her. That was his favorite taste. "Hmm, I might not need the ice cream. You are sweet enough." She laughed and blushed.
"Well, if you're not going to eat it, McKenna seems to like it." Brennan said, rubbing her swollen belly. This made Booth smile. Even though he knew that these kids were not related to him at all he loved them like they were his own. McKenna had him wrapped around her little finger and she wasn't even born yet.
Booth got on his knees and said, "McKenna is just going to have to deal with it. Booth really needs this ice cream right now." He kissed her stomach and got up. "I should get back to work. Cullen is going to have my head if I don't get that report to him." Brennan nodded and gave him a quick kiss.
"Dinner tonight at the Diner, or will you still be working?" Brennan asked as he walked back to his desk to start on paperwork and his tasty treat.
"Not sure." Booth took a bite of his ice cream. "This tastes so good. I love you." Smiling he took another bite.
"Good luck with the paperwork." Brennan gave him a smile and walked out if his office. Booth suddenly felt lonely. It had been two months since he told her he loved her and she hadn't said it back yet. It didn't bother him, but on days like this he wondered if she was ever going to say it. Finishing his ice cream he got back to work so he could try and catch dinner with the love of his life.
Brennan walked into the Jeffersonian and was pulled aside by her best friend. "Bren! I need to talk to you." Angela said, whisking the doctor into her office. "How are you and studly?" Angela was the first person that Brennan told about her relationship with Booth.
"We're good, things are good." She wasn't as good with the girl talk as Angela was.
"Where is he?" The artist asked.
"Cullen has him doing a lot of paperwork, so he won't be in today. I brought him ice cream." Brennan smiled.
"Ice cream is good. Hodgins and I are getting back together." Angela told her friend.
"Again? That's good?" Brennan said, with Angela and Hodgins you could never really tell what their current relationship status was.
"It is very good. Sweetie, I think this is it. I think this time we are going to see things through."
"You mean you two are going to get married." This would be Angela's third wedding. She had once jumped over a broom stick in Fiji and then almost married Hodgins only to be informed that she was married to said 'broom stick guy'.
"Maybe. If we do I need to know you are going to back me up on this."
"Angela you know I will back you up with whatever you do. I have never judged you." It was true. When Angela was with Roxy she was supportive of their relationship than anyone else.
"Thank you Sweetie, I really needed to hear that." Angela said.
"You're welcome. I am going to my office to work on part of my book before my publisher yells at me." Brennan said and left her office. She sat down at her desk and starting on the current chapter of Kathy and Andy's life. It was a little after 6 when her phone rang. "Brennan." That was her standard answer no matter who it was.
"Hey Bones." The voice on the other end said.
"Booth, hello. How's the paper work going?"
"Done with what Cullen needed me to do. Still have a ways to go. Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet, I was going to go home soon and eat."
"Don't. I ordered some Tai to be delivered to the office. Would you care to join me?" She could picture is goofy smile as he asked. How could she turn that down?
"Sure. I'll be there soon."
"OK, see you soon. I love you." Booth knew that she wasn't going to say it, but it was worth a shot.
"Yes, I know. Bye Booth." With that she hung up. Brennan had feelings for Booth, but she didn't trust herself to express them out loud. She knew that Booth loved her no matter if she said it or not, but she began to worry if he would leave her because she wouldn't say it. Pushing that thought out of her mind, she shut off her computer and headed towards the Hoover to have dinner and help her man with his paperwork.
TWO WEEKS LATER
"Bones! We gotta case!" Booth said, rushing into the lab.
"Ok, Clark would you accompany Booth to the crime scene and do the preliminary finding?" Since Brennan was 36 weeks pregnant she couldn't go out into the field with Booth, so she sent whatever intern happened to be there this week. Lucky for Booth, it wasn't Daisy. Booth and Clark got along, so there wasn't any tension going on. Booth knew that Clark liked to keep things professional so he kept the talking to case related things only.
"Yes, Dr. Brennan." Clark said, grabbing his field kit and following Booth out of the lab.
About an hour or so later Clark and Booth came walking in with the body. "Male, 20-25 years of age, Caucasian, not certain on time of death, but I would put it around three months ago. Dr. Hodgins will be able to tell us more on time of death with the samples." Clark said turning to Brennan.
"Very good Clark." Brennan told him. "Clean the bones and give the skull to Angela to start reconstruction. " The team split off to do what they do best and Brennan waddled to her office with Booth right behind her.
"How's it going?" He asked as she sat down on her couch as he sat down beside her.
"Fine. My feet and back hurt and my stomach feels like it's about to rupture." She replied leaning on his shoulder.
"Explode, not rupture." Booth corrected her, kissing the top of her head. "6 more weeks right? You can do it." Booth said, trying to make her feel better.
"Yes, six more weeks." She replied and closed her eyes with a sigh. Brennan wasn't sure how much longer she could take it. Dr. Green told her that everything seemed ok and that there should be on complications. Her thoughts were interrupted by Booth's phone ringing.
"Booth…yeah we'll be right there." He hung up and said, "They brought in the guy who found the body in for questioning. You want to go with me to interview him?" He felt Brennan nod and got up to help her up. Angela walked in on this moment.
"Aww, aren't you two just adorable. You should know that the victims name is Scott Collins. Went missing three months ago, the person who reported him missing was a Steve…" Angela was cut off by Booth.
"Samson."
"Yes, how did you know?" Angela asked.
"That's who found the body. Come on Bones." Booth said, leading Brennan out of her office.
When they arrived in the interrogation room Steve's eyes went wide. "Holy cow!"
"Hey, watch it." Booth said, "Show Dr. Brennan a little more respect."
"Sorry. You look like you're about to blow." Steve told her.
"Enough. Do you know this man?" Booth slid the picture Angela gave him of Scott across the table.
"Yeah, that's Scott. Why?" Steve asked.
"How did you know him?" Brennan asked.
"He's my roommate, or was." Scott told her.
"What do you mean 'was'?" Booth asked.
"He went missing a few months ago." Steve said, and then something clicked. "That body I found, that wasn't Scott was it?"
"We are still trying to…" Brennan responded but then stopped.
"Bones, you ok?" Booth asked in a worried tone. His partner was frozen. "Bones, what's wrong?"
"My water just broke."
