Chapter 6
Bigger than a Bread Box
2 months later…
Her editors had been clamoring for another steamy love scene between Kathy and Andy. With her deadline looming on the horizon she sat before her laptop and waited for inspiration to strike. Thankfully she didn't have to wait long as her thoughts drifted back to last night.
Suddenly art was definitely imitating life as her fingers flew over the keyboard, desperately trying to keep up with the images in her mind. As if mere thoughts had been enough to conjure him, her cell phone began to ring.
"I was just thinking about you," she said by way of greeting.
His voice turned husky as he asked, "Is that a fact?"
She smiled as she reread her last paragraph.
"Yup."
"Then why are you still at the lab?"
"Good point! I'm on my way out the door right now."
She could hear the promise in his voice when he said, "See you soon Temperance."
Angela had caught the end of the conversation, as she stood unnoticed in the doorway. She wasn't normally one to stay late but she needed to talk to her best friend.
"Leaving," she asked as she watched Brennan shut her laptop down?
"Yes, but you can still come in Angela, she said as she smiled at her. What are you doing here so late?"
"I needed to tell you something."
"Sounds serious," she said as her smile vanished.
"Yeah it's bigger than a bread box, or at least it will be," she said as a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, and her hand came to rest on her still flat abdomen.
"I don't know what that means."
"I'm pregnant Brenn," Angela squealed.
Brennan's smile reappeared as she pulled Angela into her embrace.
"Two months right," Brennan whispered?
Angela could tell by her tone that it hadn't been a question.
Angela pulled back so she could see her face.
"How did… Never mind of course you knew! Something about my gait right?"
"Something like that."
Angela nodded until something occurred to her.
"So, wait a second here, you knew, but you didn't say anything? Why?"
"I figured you would tell me when you were ready. Was I wrong to wait?"
"No sweetie."
After a moment Brennan said, "So, how do you feel about this?"
"I don't know. I'm excited and terrified. Brenn, what if I'm not good at being a mother?"
"Ange you will be an amazing mother."
"You think so?"
"Yeah I do."
As Angela hugged Brennan she realized just how good Booth was for her. In the two months that they had been dating Brennan had become better with people, and freer with her own emotions. It was an incredible change.
"We should sit," Brennan said.
"No, I know Booth's waiting for you."
"Ange…"
"I'm fine. Besides we both need to be getting home to our respective hot men!"
"Ok, but you call me if you need anything!"
"I will."
Brennan just gave her a look.
"I promise!"

Later that night as Booth held Bones in his arms she said, "Angela is pregnant, and I told her that she would make an amazing mother."
Hearing the wistfulness in her tone Booth ventured, "You know Bones if you ever do change your mind about having children, you would be an amazing mother too."
"You really believe that?"
"Of course I do. You're already amazing with Parker."
"Thank you she whispered," just before her mouth covered his.
She trailed kisses from his mouth down to his stomach.
When he couldn't take her sweet torture any longer, he rolled her beneath him, and they spent the rest of the night making love.
A/N: I know some of you were waiting for Bones to utter those three little words, and she will, but not just yet. However, if you want to hear them stay with me, and review please.
