"I feel like a cow," Brennan grumbled. "I can't even get into the car by myself anymore," she complained while Booth offered her his hand.

Booth chuckled at Brennan's words. He shut the door once he was sure she was comfortable and crossed the street to climb into the driver's side.

Words could not describe Booth's elation when he found out that the baby was his. He and Brennan were going to have a baby girl. He couldn't stop smiling.

Brennan herself was so happy. Once she found out that Booth was the father, she felt she was finally on her way to healing. And now with Pratt behind bars, she was finally safe. She was finally able to start her family.

"You look beautiful," Booth told her. "You've always been beautiful to me."

"You're supposed to say that," Brennan said grudgingly, crossing her arms over her protruding belly.

He reached over and took one of her hands, and her look softened immediately. "I'm saying it because it's true. You and our baby; my two favorite girls."

Brennan laughed, liking the sound of that. She couldn't remember the last time she had been this happy.

If someone had asked her years ago if she would ever have a family- least of all with Booth- she would have laughed in their face.

But now, she didn't want anything more.

Booth pulled up to the Jeffersonian.

Brennan wasn't working directly with the dead bodies anymore; her pregnant stomach preventing her from examining them as thoroughly as she would have liked. Good thing Wendell was there.

Wendell provided as many pictures as he could so Brennan could work from the comfort of her office.

This is what she expected when Booth walked her to her office. Instead she was greeted by all her friends yelling surprise and her office being decorated by pink baby stuff.

"You knew about this," Brennan hissed to Booth, and he smiled and gave a noncommittal shrug before Angela whisked her into a hug.

"A baby girl! Congrats sweetie!" Angela said.

Brennan thanked her and looked over to see Cameron toddling along, following his mother.

"He's walking now?" Brennan asked.

"Oh, yes, Cameron, say hi, buddy," Hodgins prodded.

Cameron looked up through long lashes. "Hi," he babbled in his cute baby voice.

"He is getting so big Ange," Brennan smiled, thinking how she would soon have a child of her own.

Booth bent down and scooped up Cameron, who giggled and clutched at his uncle.

"Tempe?"

Brennan tore her eyes from the scene and met her father's gaze.

"Dad?" Brennan said, and went over to hug her father. "It's been a while."

"It never crossed your mind to give your old man a call after you came back into town? Good thing I watch the news," Max scolded lightly.

"Sorry, Dad. Things have been hectic."

"To put it mildly," Booth added, reaching over to shake Max's hand.

"Congratulations you two," Max said. "I always knew you were sleeping together," Max winked and the whole room erupted in laughter.

Brennan just rolled her eyes and went around accepting the congratulations.

"Presents!" Angela announced, shoving a bag in her hand.

Brennan just looked and Booth and began to tear it open.


"Well that was an eventful day to say the least," Brennan said.

Booth lugged up the gifts from their friends and dropped them in the hallway. "I thought it was nice."

"No, it was," Brennan agreed. She accepted Booth's help as he lowered her onto the couch. She plopped her feet up on the table.

"Can I get you anything?" Booth asked as he sat down beside her.

"You don't need to fuss over me," Brennan protested. But she snuggled into Booth's side, feeling his warmth.

"Yes, I do, so you can shut up and take it," he said, wrapping his arm around her and kissing her on top of the head.

She giggled and then winced, bringing her hands to her stomach.

"What's wrong?" Booth asked, alarmed. "Is it the baby?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine. I think…I think the baby kicked me," she exclaimed. When she looked up at Booth there was such joy on her face. "Here, feel."

She grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach. They waited patiently and silently.

Sure enough, they were rewarded by a little nudge.

"That's amazing," Booth said, keeping his hand there, and felt another kick.

"She likes your voice, Daddy," Brennan teased, feeling her eyes well up with happy tears.

Booth leaned over and kissed her on the lips. "I love you."

"I love you, too. I can't wait to start our family," she whispered. "Hey, where are we going to live?"

"What do you mean?" Booth asked. "Here?"

"There is no room here for a nursery," she pointed out.

Booth thought for a moment. "You want to buy a house?"

"Well, it's a thought," she said, not wanting to push anything. But she was starting to imagine this life: her and Booth with their baby girl in this perfect house.

"You got it," Booth said.

"Really?"

"I'll start looking tomorrow," he smiled. "Sound good to you baby?"

They both laughed when they felt a nudge. "Then it's official," Brennan said.

"We're moving!"


Sorry it took so long. I couldn't get any ideas for this chapter. It's kind of a filler and I wanted some cute baby moments before all the drama that is sure to ensue. I hope you liked it, :)
