Previously on Preggers (A/N: bahahahah it sounds like a soap opera)
"My water just broke"
Steve and Booth looked at the woman with wide eyes. Booth just looked at her for a while and Steve spoke up, "I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure you're supposed to take her to the hospital." Booth snapped out of it.
"Right. Umm, Steve you stay here. Bones let's go." Booth said, helping Brennan up and ushering her out of the interrogation room.
"Booth, my pregnancy bag is in your office. I need to change my clothes. I need to call Angela, my dad, Russ, Cam…" Brennan started listing off things she needed.
"Bones, call the lab and head down to the SUV and I'll get your bag." He kissed her and headed to his office while Brennan headed towards the SUV. She got her phone out and called Angela.
"Hello." Angela answered.
"Ange, its Brennan."
"Hey sweetie, what's up?"
"It's time."
"Time for what?"
"They're coming." That was the only hint that Brennan gave her best friend.
"OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!" Angela was so excited.
"Angela, calm down. I need you to tell Cam and let her know I won't be in for a while." Brennan told her overly zealous friend.
"You got it Bren. You better have studly call us when they get you in a room.
"I will Angela, I have to call my dad now." She hung up the phone as she was walking up to the SUV. She heard someone running behind her and turned to find Booth with her bag dashing for the car.
"I got it Bones! Let's go!" Booth said getting into the SUV. He cranked the engine over and headed towards the hospital. On the way there Brennan called her dad and Russ leaving a message for both of them. She thought about whether to call Bryce or not. They were his kids, but she really didn't want him to be part of their lives anymore, so she didn't call him. Instead she called Dr. Green to let him know that she was on her way in. Brennan looked over at Booth who was trying to get them to the hospital as fast as possible. He was nervous, she could tell, and patted his leg in an effort to show him that she was appreciative of him being there. He smiled at her and relaxed a little.
Once they arrived to the hospital Booth rushed her to the check in area. "I'm here to see Dr. Green. My water just broke." Brennan told the nurse.
"Dr. Brennan, yes, he told me you just called. We have your room all ready for you. How are you feeling?" The nurse asked.
"Fine. Contractions aren't bad. About 20 minutes apart. I'm not supposed to be due for another four weeks. They're early, really early." Brennan was nervous at this fact.
"Everything is going to be fine Dr. Brennan. Premature twins are not unheard of. Dr. Green will be here shortly." The nurse said, trying to calm Brennan down then left the room so Booth and Brennan could have some time together.
"Angela wanted me to have you call her as soon as we got to my room." Brennan told Booth, who was pacing the room. "Maybe that will make you stop pacing." She added with a smile.
"Right, sorry, just nervous. Never been to a child's birth before." Booth said taking out his phone. When Parker was born he had been in Afghanistan. "I'll just go outside. Be right back." As he was about to walk out, Dr. Green came in.
"Hello Mr. Booth, Temperance."He said walking towards the bed. "How are we feeling today? Micah and McKenna ready to meet the world?"
"They are 4 weeks early." Brennan told the doctor. Booth slipped out of the room to call Angela.
"Temperance, everything is going to be just fine. I've delivered premature twins before and they were perfectly fine. " Dr. Green told the nervous pregnant woman in front of him. Once he knew that Brennan was going to be ok he started to hook up a strap along her belly to keep track of the babies' heart rate. Once everything was situated he left the room. Not soon after Booth walked in.
"Angela said they she would be here soon." Booth told her. Brennan was in a hospital gown lying on the bed, with a giant black Velcro looking strap across her huge belly and to Booth, she looked amazing.
"Thank you." Brennan replied. "Are you ok Booth? You look frightened." Booth sat down on the chair next to her and took her hand.
"I'm ok. I promise. I'm just not a fan of hospitals." Booth told her. It was true, after all the times he had been sent to a hospital, he really didn't want to go back. "But I'm fine, don't worry." He leaned in to give her a kiss. It started out innocent, just a simple kiss, but as it got heated Brennan starting having a contraction and gave a yelp of pain. "You ok?" Booth asked, not thinking about why they were in a hospital to being with.
"Contraction." Brennan gasped. Her face was screwed up and was gripping the sheets like her life depended on it. After it ended Brennan took a deep breath and looked at Booth. "I'm fine." Angela picked that exact moment to walk into the room.
"Knock knock." She said, knocking on the door as she was opening it. "Hey sweetie, how are you feeling?"
"Good. Just had a contraction, they are about 20 minutes apart. Dr. Green assures that everything will be ok even if they are 4 weeks early." Brennan informed her friend.
"Good, how are you Booth?" Angela asked the FBI agent.
"I'm doing good Ange." Booth said getting up and giving Angela a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Anyone else here?"
"Yes, they are in the waiting room. Nurse said family only, and seeing as I'm these kids godmother, I let myself through." Booth and Brennan laughed at this and Angela stole Booth's seat next to the bed. "You ready?"
"No, but I guess I'm going to have to be." Brennan replied with a half hearted smile.
"You're going to do great. I know it." Angela said.
"Will you be in here with me?" Brennan asked, she needed her best friend now more than ever.
"Whatever you need sweetie. I'm going to go tell the others what's going on." Angela got up and left the room.
"Out of all the squints, you choose the one that get grossed out the most to be in here when you give birth?" Booth joked around.
"She's my best friend Booth. I'm also going to have an FBI agent in here with a squeamish stomach. Are you saying he shouldn't be here either?" Brennan shot back with a smile.
"You want me to be in here?" Booth asked quietly. He was so happy and honored.
"Yes. I need you both right now. Plus, I have to squeeze someone's hand, and Angela's pain tolerance isn't as high as yours." Brennan smiled at Booth's mock hurt expression.
"That's why you keep me around isn't it? Just to use me as a punching back. I'm hurt Bones." Booth replied, holding his hand over his heart.
"Don't be such a baby, you know I love you." Brennan said, not catching the slip up. But Booth heard it.
"You love me?" He asked, a cocky grin starting to appear on his face. "Temperance Brennan loves me."
"Seeley Booth loves me." Brennan said.
"Temperance Brennan loves Seeley Booth." Booth's smile was huge. "Do you mean it Bones?" This time he was serious.
"Yes. I love you Booth." Brennan replied, "I'm sorry it took so long for me to say it." Booth walked over to her and knelt beside the bed.
"The only thing that matters now is that you said it." Booth kissed her. "I love you too Bones."
30 MINUTES LATER
"AHHHHH!" Brennan was having contractions at 5 minutes apart was doing her best to keep the screaming to a minimum. Dr. Green walked in on the last of the screaming.
"Almost there Temperance." Dr. Green told the screaming lady. Checking the monitors he tensed, it didn't go unnoticed by Booth.
"Something wrong ?" Booth asked quietly, not wanted to have Brennan panic.
"It seems that we are going to need to get Micah out right away." He told Booth then turning around. "Temperance, we need to perform an emergency C section. Micah is having trouble breathing and we need to get him out." Dr. Green was a cool as a cucumber as he was talking to Brennan. Booth, on the other hand, was freaking out.
"What do you mean 'having trouble breathing'? Is he going to be ok?" Brennan was on the verge of tears. She wanted to see her babies healthy; not being able to breathe was not healthy.
"Temperance, everything is going to be fine. I've done this many times. Just keep breathing and we will get through this." Dr. Green said, "I'm going to get your epidural block and we are going to meet Micah and McKenna." Dr. Green left the room.
"I need Angela." Brennan told Booth and in a flash he was out the door and in the waiting room.
"Bones needs an emergency C section. Micah is having trouble breathing and they need to get him out." Booth told everyone then looked at Angela, "She needs you right now." Angela got up and went to Brennan's room. "Dr. Green says everything will be fine." He nodded and walked back to the room.
"I'm scared Angela." Brennan said to her best friend.
"Everything is going to be fine. Dr. Green knows what he's doing." Angela told her, trying to calm her down. Booth walked in and stood to the side. Then, Dr. Green walked in with his team.
"Alright, Sam," Dr. Green turned to one of the nurses, "can you give Temperance her epidural block? We can put these drapes up and as soon as the epidural kicks in we can get started."
Everything was set they started on the C section and got Micah out and hooked up to Oxygen to help him breathe. He weighed 6lbs 10 oz. McKenna was next screaming at the world and weighed 6lbs. They both had a slight case of Jaundice, as most babies. Since Micah had to be set up with Oxygen right away Brennan had to hold off on holding him. After they got Brennan all fixed up and McKenna all cleaned off she was sent to her mother right away.
"What's her name?"Sam asked.
"McKenna Christine Brennan." Brennan answered without looking up.
"We have a Bryce Young listed as the biological father, is that correct?" Brennan nodded and kept looking at her daughter. McKenna had her mother's eyes and her daddy's smile. Brennan couldn't stop smiling. Sam just stood there watching this moment and said, "I'm going to go check on Micah. If you need anything, my name is Sam." Brennan nodded again and looked up.
"Can you send in Seeley Booth please?" Brennan asked. Sam smiled and nodded. She walked to the waiting room and called out.
"Seeley?" She saw the man in question stand up. "Temperance would like to see you." Sam smiled and Booth followed her. Booth walked into the room and saw Brennan with McKenna and it made his heart swell.
"Hey Bones." Booth said walking further into the room. "Hi McKenna." Booth said looking at the baby in Brennan's arms. "You did good Bones, she's beautiful." Booth was in awe.
"Would you like to hold her?" Brennan asked looking up at Booth. He nodded and bent down to carefully hold baby McKenna. McKenna let out a small cry but Booth started bouncing her and shushing her. Booth ran his finger over her little face and tiny hands. McKenna grabbed Booth's finger and wouldn't let go. He smiled and gave a soft laugh. "I told you she likes you." Brennan said looking at the two of them. Booth looked at McKenna then back at Brennan.
"Can I keep her?" Booth laughed, he didn't want to have McKenna out of his sight. She was already a daddy's girl and Booth was more than ok with that.
"Knock knock." Sam knocked on the door just like Angela and walked into the room. "Micah is doing better; he should be off the Oxygen within the next couple hours. It's time to feed McKenna, are you breast feeding or doing formula?" Sam asked.
"Formula." Brennan replied.
"Ok then, I got your bottle ready to go." She looked at Booth who was still holding McKenna. "Is daddy going to feed her?" Booth looked up in response.
"Oh, I'm not the…" Booth started but was cut off by Brennan.
"I'll feed her." When Booth didn't move to hand McKenna back she said, "Booth, I need my daughter in order to feed her."
"Right, sorry." Booth handed her over and watched as Brennan fed McKenna. It was a slow process that took about 30 minutes, but once McKenna was fed and burped she was right back in Booth's arms.
"You can't hold her forever Booth. She's going to have to go to the nursery to sleep." Brennan said noticing the disappointment in Booth's eyes.
"I know. " Booth said, giving McKenna back to Brennan. "I'm going to get the rest of the gang."
Brennan looked at the sleeping McKenna in her arms. "I love you so much. I'm new to this whole 'mom' thing, but everyone says I'm going to do fine." She kissed McKenna on the head and thought she saw her smile. Angela was the first one in the room.
"Aww, Bren, she's adorable." Angela came up and got a closer look at her goddaughter. "Thank goodness she looks like you."
"Angela!" Brennan laughed, it was true, McKenna looked more like Brennan than Bryce.
"Micah still not here?" Cam asked from across the room.
"Doctors say he will be on Oxygen for a couple more hours." Brennan answered. Everyone was crowded around Brennan's bed when Dr. Green came in.
"Ok everyone, momma needs her rest and McKenna needs to be taken to the nursery. Out." Dr. Green informed them. A unanimous groan was heard and Dr. Green laughed. "You did amazing Temperance. I came in here to ask what Micah's full name is, for his birth certificate."
"Right, um, Micah Joseph Brennan." Booth's head popped up when he heard his own middle name as the middle name for her son. Brennan looked at Booth and smiled. He mouthed an 'I love you' to her and she smiled back nodding.
"Ok then, have a good night. Don't worry about M&M, they are in good hands." Dr. Green smiled and left the room.
"Joseph?" Booth said, walking up to her.
"Yes. Micah is named after two people who have saved my life in more than one way." Brennan said looking Booth in the eye.
"Well, Micah and I are very honored." Booth said, leaning down to kiss her.
MEANWHILE IN THE NURSERY…
A man came walking up to the main desk of the nursery. "How can I help you sir?" The woman asked.
"Yes, I'm here to see my children. I'm their father and didn't make it in time for the birth." The man replied.
"Of course, do you know their names? Micah and McKenna Brennan." The man replied.
"You must be Bryce." The woman smiled. "I should let you know that Micah is on an Oxygen intake. He wasn't breathing well and needed an emergency C section. He's fine, but in just a few hours he should be ready to be taken off. Would you like to come back then?"
"Yes, and if you could, don't tell their mother I was here. I want to surprise her." Bryce said with a smile.
i realize that i have been evil back to back. score one for me!
but yes, Bryce is back to do something very stupid. Most of you have guessed it, so kudos to you! score one for you!
