Sorry it has been awhile since I updated! I promise I have a plan for this story and am not giving it up! It just took me a little bit to flesh out and I've already written quite a bit. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter! More excitement to come during our hiatus!

The next morning, Booth was up bright and early had had stopped by to pick up some breakfast bagels. He knocked on Bones' door, but didn't get an answer right away. He let himself in using the spare key Bones had given him along with the pool key for him and Parker to use. He heard the shower going and smiled to himself, remembering the night they had spent together, and the sound of her using his shower the next morning. He put the bagels on the table and waited for her to get out of the shower.

Bones had woken up late the next morning and had taken a long hot shower. She felt relieved now that her secret was out, at least with the one person who mattered most. And she felt better that he was excited about it. But she had so many questions that she knew they'd have to work through….where did this leave them? Would they raise the baby together? What about their partnership? And on and on it went in her brain….

But she wasn't sure if she was ready for that discussion yet. She was still adjusting to the fact that she was pregnant. Let alone that she was pregnant…with Booth's baby! And they had gotten in this predicament by the natural way, not through a test tube! She was thinking about all these things as she stepped out of the shower and wrapped herself in a towel. Stepping out of the bathroom, she immediately smelled coffee and bagels, and knew Booth had let himself in.

"Hello Booth," she said, taking him by surprise as he almost spilled his cup of coffee.

"Good morning! I brought bagels!" he said, trying hard not to obviously check her out in the towel. When that failed, he said, "You look beautiful."

"I'm in a towel, Booth."

"Exactly!" he said, with a coy smile.

She laughed at him and turned to head to her bedroom and get dressed. He watched her go with a smile…and hoped this would be a familiar scene for him soon.

She came back out dressed in a loose t-shirt and jeans. "Thanks for breakfast. I'm really hungry!" she said, grabbing a bagel.

"So, do you want to do anything today?" Booth asked, pouring her a cup of coffee.

"No, not really. I need to do some laundry, maybe work on my book. I'd like to get the next one written before I get too…far along."

Booth smiled at the thought of Bones with a big belly, having to waddle about and ask others to tie her shoes for her.

"What?" she asked, noticing his smile.

"I just remembered the baby, that's all," he admitted, smiling at her.

Bones finished her bagel and looked up at him. "Would you like to maybe stay here today with me, we can watch a movie. I can make you lunch...I mean, if you don't have any other plans that is."

"Thanks, Bones! I'd love to."

Booth helped carry the laundry basket to the laundry closet for Bones, but blushed slightly when he dropped a pair of her underwear on his foot. He picked them up and handed them to her. "I think this is yours."

She laughed and took them, tossing them into the washer with the rest of her clothes. "You know, you really don't have to help me with this stuff."

"I like helping you. And I plan on continuing to help you," he said, glancing down at her stomach.

"We're not talking about the laundry now, are we?"

He shook his head and smiled, resisting the urge to reward her intuitiveness with a kiss.

The rest of the day was spent relaxing and talking about just about everything, except the present situation they were in. Toward evening, they made lasagna and watched an old movie while it baked in the oven. Bones was on one side of the couch and Booth on the other, but when Booth got up to check on it, he sat a little closer on the couch when he returned. Bones had curled up on the couch when he got up, so her feet were closest to him. Not noticing how close Booth was, she stretched her legs a bit and touched his leg with her foot. He jumped slightly.

"Sorry!" she shouted a little louder than she meant and sat up, putting her feet on the floor.

Booth looked at her and tried to hide what he was feeling, but he knew she could read it in his eyes….they always told exactly what he was feeling. He wanted to hold her close to him, or at least just be touching her, even if it was just on accident.

She saw the look. She knew the look well, and shivered as she recalled the passion that lay behind that look. She could feel him holding her, enclosing her in his arms, and before she realized it, they were looking into each other's eyes. Booth moved closer, placing his hands on her shoulders and pulling her the rest of the way toward him. She closed her eyes, catching her breath one more time, and as they both leaned in closer, their lips touching, and both moved them rhythmically together as Booth's arms wrapped around Bones, and her arms wrapped around his neck. It was then that the oven timer decided to beep, making both of them jump apart.

Bones jumped to her feet. "I'll get it."

Booth followed behind her as she went to the oven, turned it off, and took the lasagna out. "Appears that dinner is ready," she said in as normal a tone as she could muster, although her voice was breathier and she was having trouble readjusting to not having Booth's arms around her and lips to pressed to hers.

They got their plates and sat down at the table, eating in silence.

After they ate, Booth finally had to break the silence. "Bones, I really think we need to talk about what's going on between us."

"I told you I didn't want to talk about that yet."

"Then when do you want to talk about it? Because we're having a baby together, Bones."

"I'm just still adjusting is all. I am surprised how well you took the news, Booth. I'm usually the one who adapts quicker."

Booth had to chuckle. He reached across the table and put his hand over hers. "Its a lot to process. I understand if you need time." He stood up and took the plates to the sink. "I think it may be best if I go home now," he said, walking over and giving her a hug and a kiss on the forehead. The feel of him so close to her and the thought of not having him with her that night made her cling on to him. When he tried to break the hug, she pulled him closer and pushed her lips against his.

After several minutes of kissing, they finally broke apart for air. "I suppose…" Booth started, "That until we figure out what is going on between us…we should stop doing this." Even as he said it, they still held onto each other.

"Yes, you are probably correct," Bones agreed, biting her lip and glancing at his before meeting his eyes again.

"But then again…you are already pregnant…" Booth said, searching her eyes for a sign of what to do next.

"That's true too." Bones said, leaning her head closer.

"But we don't want to…rush into anything," he said, moving his closer.

"Right," Bones agreed again. "But…I am already pregnant."

"That's true. Can't really rush things more than that…" They both closed their eyes, and as they were about to kiss again, their phones both started going off at the same time.

They jumped, again, as they both found and answered their phones.

"Agent Booth," Booth answered.

"Dr. Brennan," Bones answered. "Hi Cam!

"Yes, Sir, I'm….we're…. yes she's right here. We were finishing some…. yes sir," Booth continued.

"Yes, Dr. Saroyan, Booth is here with me. What happened?"

"How!"

"What!"

"Fine. I won't let her out of my sight."

"We won't go anywhere. Yes, my apartment."

"Yes, sir. Thank you."

"Thanks."

They both hung up. "Broadsky has escaped," they both said at the same time.

"What did you find out?" Bones asked.

"He killed four guards and managed to disappear. The FBI suspects that he's looking for revenge. They told me to stay put and they were sending people over to patrol until we figure out what's going on. It will take him a while to procure a new gun."

"If he's keeping with that method," she stated. "Also, his hand is broken. It could be a while before he shows back up."

"I know. They are just being careful right now. And Bones…"

"Yeah?"

"When he comes, he's coming after us," Booth said, placing his hand on hers.

She looked back at him. "I know."
