Chapter 4:
"How could you? How could you do this Angela?" Booth said screaming at the artist while pulling her into Brennan's office. The anthropologist followed behind them.
"Look, how many times do I have to say I'm sorry?"
"Sorry? You're sorry? Do you think I give a damn that you're sorry? If 'sorry' would erase your husband's memory of the last five minutes of his life, then it would cut it! But does it? NO! Bones, help me out here!"
Brennan didn't want to take her partner's side. Angela was her best friend and she didn't mean to do it. Besides, now she doesn't have to have the pain of telling Hodgins herself. In a way, she was glad Angela did it. Besides, he was going to find out anyway.
"Oh I'm not getting involved"
"What? W-w-what do you mean you're not getting involved? Bones, I'm your boyfriend! You have to take my side!"
"Ok, first of all, I've told you numerous times I do not like labels and second of all, I do not have to take your side just because you're my boyf-partner!" she caught herself pretty quickly on the last word.
"Do you think Angela meant to do it?" She continued. "No, so stop yelling at her! I mean, it's not like she told Sweets or anything! Then we should worry!"
"Yeah!" Angela cut in
"I only spilled the beans to Hodgins. Come on… it's Hodgins."
"Angela, I understand what you're saying but there were no beans involved… oh, you were being metaphoric. Ok, never mind"
"Good job sweetie. And Booth, I promise you I will shut up about Brennan being pregnant. It will not leave this office until you would like it to."
Sweets had walked in as soon as Angela spoke her last two sentences. He had been taken aback by the news. "Why wasn't I informed?" he thought "Did they think I'd make them sit through another therapy session if I knew? Which I will make them sit through- but that's not the point."
Thoughts from his head, which were supposed to stay in his head, literally popped out of his mouth in an upset and angry-like tone.
"I cannot BELIEVE you're pregnant Doctor Brennan! Why should I have to hear it from Angela and not you?"
Angela looked like she'd seen a ghost. "Aaaw crap"
"Oh Aaaaangelaaa?" Booth said while lingering on the 'A's.
"I know, I'm dead."
"Not just that! I'm not talking to you now!"
"What? For how long?"
"Until this case is over!"
Brennan couldn't stand to see two of the most important people in her life fight like they were. They never fought. Not like this anyway. She had to put an end to it.
"Booth, you're being irrational!"
"No sweetie! Forget it! I'm going to my office! Have a nice day Booth!" She said this in a sarcastic tone. Brennan, not being able to decipher sarcasm tilted her head in confusion. Angela walked out pulling Sweets with her. He fumbled a slight protest still having a surprised look on his face. Brennan felt a tear trickle down her face. She lifted a hand to wipe it away, but Booth took her hand before it reached her cheeks and interlocked her fingers with his. With the other hand, he brushed her bangs away from her face.
"Bones, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have over reacted. It's just, this is all so new to me and I guess I haven't fully processed it yet."
"Booth, are you ashamed of me?" Brennan said through sobs.
"What? How could you think-"
"Are you embarrassed to admit we're together? To admit that this is your second child out of wedlock?"
"Hey, of course not! I want to shout from the roof tops that I'm with you!"
"Really?"
"Of course! Do you realize how many guys hit on you and don't stand a chance? And here I am standing next to you with my baby in your stomach. I am one of the very few guys who actually has a chance to be with you. Do you think I would ever blow that off? Throw that away for the stupidest reason?"
She chuckled slightly, but Booth's face remained apologetic and serious "No" she replied "And the baby is in my uterus, not in my stomach."
"Don't go into details Bones." His facial muscles relaxed into what has become known as the Booth charm smile.
At this point, their faces were only a few centimeters away from each other. Brennan found it the perfect time to seal the gap between them and cover his mouth with hers.
