Angela planned the entire baby shower to occur the following week. She invited Cam & Daisy and several other women from other departments at the Jeffersonian.
"Alright ladies," Angela shouted over the chatter. "Let's play another game! Whoever wins gets this baby bottle full of quarters." she held up a regular baby bottle full of quarters, probably $50 worth. "This point of this first game is to guess what Booth and Bren name the baby, her birthday, time of birth, weight and height. If you win you'll get your prize once the baby is born, obviously."
"Angela, I don't understand the purpose of this game. Booth and I will probably not name the baby any of the names they guess and it's highly unlikely they will guess everything about the baby's birth." Bones stated.
"It's just for fun, there is no real purpose. It's just a chance for women to have a little fun."
"If you say so."
Angela handed out note cards and each woman started filling in information.
"Just so you know, Angela, Booth and I have already picked out a name."
"Don't tell me! I want to make a legitimate guess."
Soon everyone had made their guesses and the cards were handed back to Bones. She looked through some of the guesses. No one got the name right. Someone even guessed they would name her Skywalker Moonbeam. It must have been the woman from the astronomy department, Bones thought.
"Well, I can tell you that no one got the name right." Bones said.
"Do you have a name already picked out?" Daisy asked, jumping in her seat. "Please tell us!"
"Her name is going to be Lucy Christine. Christine after my mother." Bones stated, with a smile.
"Awww! That's adorable!" several women cooed.
The rest of the baby shower included a couple of more games, cake and ice cream, gifts and more chat about babies, a pretty typical baby shower, as far as Bones was aware.
After the shower, Bones headed back to her place where she knew Booth would be waiting for her. He promised to make dinner for his two ladies. Bones reprimanded him saying she and the baby were not possessions to claim. As she stood in front of her door, she could smell something cooking, either from her place or someone nearby.
"Booth?" she called as she entered her apartment. "Are you here?"
"Bones?" Booth appeared from the kitchen, wiping his hands on a dish towel. "Hey, Bones, I missed you." he came toward her, gave her a peck on the lips and smiled back when she smiled at him.
"I wasn't even gone two hours, how could you miss me already?"
"I realized the six months you were gone, that I never want to be away from you for too long. That is why I've been meaning to ask you something."
Bones smiled hesitantly, "what?"
"I think that we should move in together. It would be best for the baby when she comes and I already know I'm in this relationship for the long haul, so it seems to be the next step."
"That wasn't question. When you ask a question it usually starts with a who, what, when…" Bones didn't get a chance to finish, because Booth had her lips occupied with his own. When they broke apart she asked, "Why did you do that?"
"I needed to shut you up somehow. So what do you think about it?"
"See, that's a question…"
"Bones, seriously, what do you think?"
Bones smiled, her hands unconsciously rubbing her belly. "I think it would be a wise decision if you moved in here."
