Chapter 17

Lamaze is Officially Hot

8:30 at the YMCA

The room was small, bright, and packed. Four other couples were already seated on the thickly padded floor mats. So they took the last two empty spots on the end.

"Good evening, a very pretty blonde woman called as she strolled into the room. My name is Harmony and I will be your Lamaze instructor for the next few weeks."

She took a moment to scan the group.

"Traditionally Lamaze classes promote natural childbirth. However, most instructors, myself included refuse to take a hard-line on the use of drugs. I've had two kids and I felt that the use of an Epidural was necessary on both occasions. So at this point if you are wondering what I promote that's simple, I promote knowledge. It is my job to prepare you for labor, and to give you the facts that you will need to make informed decisions regarding said labor. Remember nobody knows your body better than you do."

She clapped her hands together.

"Ok people we are going to take this nice and slow. I want to start with introductions. First names only for security purposes please, and then we will end the class with a few exercises!"

The introductions flowed from left to right. The class consisted of…

Todd and Lisa, Frank and Nora, Dan and Michelle, Randy and Lyn, Angela and Jack, and Seeley and Temperance.

"Nice to meet you everyone!"

"Now, please help your partners up so we can get started."

When everyone was standing Harmony smiled.

"I'll never be able to stress this enough, but people proper cervix alignment is crucial! With that said is everyone ready to go back to middle school?"

"I don't know what that means," Bones whispered a little too loudly into Booth's ear.

"Neither do I," he whispered back.

There were several other murmurs of agreement.

"Allow me to clarify then. I'm sure you all remember your first slow dance?"

Everyone nodded.

"And how was that."

"Awkward as hell," Angela said.

Harmony smiled.

"Angela right?"

"Yes."

"Why was it awkward?"

"It was awkward for a lot of reasons.

"Give us a few."

"Well for one, I was taller than him so he was eye level with my chest."

There were a few nostalgic giggles from the woman that had shared the same experience.

Angela smiled.

"But I think what I remember most was just how rhythmically challenged he was.

She laughed.

"We basically swayed from side to side trying not to step on each other."

"Precisely! Thank you Angela. Ok people time to recreate that first slow dance."

"Ladies get your arms around your guy's neck."

Without hesitation Angela flung her arms around Hodgins neck.

He wrapped his arms around her waist. As he pressed his forehead to hers he whispered, "Too bad I'm not eye level with your chest".

"No joke, the view has grown far more spectacular since 7th grade!"

He groaned.

"I bet. Still the view I have of your mouth holds some promise, plus I can always work my way down…"

She shivered in anticipation as his voice trailed off.

"Later," she whispered back with unmasked desire in her voice.

"Yes! Everybody, this is how you should be positioned!"

After all the couples complied Harmony said, "Now sway."

Booth eagerly pulled his Bones into his arms. Her soft curves molded into his hard planes perfectly. As they rocked back and forth he began to softly hum to her.

She pressed a little bit closer to him. Soon she couldn't help but hum along.

As they continued to move around the floor his humming turned into singing…

Hold me close, hold me tight

Make me thrill with delight

Let me know where I stand from the start

I want you, I need you, I love you

With all my heart

Ev'ry time that you're near

All my cares disappear

Darling, you're all that I'm living for

I want you, I need you, I love you

More and More

The other couples broke out in applauds.

Angela whistled and Hodgins yelled out an awed, "Dude!"

Bones kept her eyes on Booth. Her cheeks had turned a light pink.

"I love it when you do that," he whispered as he caressed her face.

"And I love you," she whispered back as she turned her face into his touched and pressed a soft kiss to his wrist.

"Beautiful, that's what it's all about people, connecting with your partner," Harmony said!

She smiled.

"Everybody back to the mats please."

She waited for everyone to get back on the mats before she spoke again.

"I'm not going to lie to you people. Labor will be hard, not just physically but emotionally. Sometimes things can go wrong, but even if they don't I can promise you that you will need each other. So, this next exercise will help you to connect with your partner and bond with your baby."

"Guys I need for you to sit behind your ladies."

She waited for them to move.

"That's right you need to have one leg on each side of her."

"Ladies your back should be against his chest."

"Good."

"Now guys with both hands you will be rubbing her belly in soothing circles."

As Booth's hands moved over her stomach in slow, gentle circles her eyes drifted closed and her head lolled back against his shoulder.

"Like that Bones?"

Before she could answer she felt Lexie shift.

Her eyes popped open.

Booth froze.

"Did you feel that," Bones whispered.

"Yeah."

She kicked again.

"Lexie," he whispered.

This was the moment that he had been waiting for! Finally getting to feel his second child moving beneath his hand was just as wonderful as he thought it would be!

She kicked again.

He glanced over at Hodgins.

"First time," Hodgins asked?

"Yup."

Wordlessly they bumped fists.

Angela and Bones shared a soft smile.

"Time to add some breathing into the mix everybody," Harmony said.

She demonstrated a few times before the class joined in.

"Heeheehee whoooooooo. Heeheehee whoooooooo."

When she walked past Angela and Hodgins she gave them praise before moving back up the line, "Great job!"

"You hear that, Hodgins said with an infectious grin on his face! I'm King of the Lamaze class!"

The exercise continued for about 5 more minutes and ended with light stretching.

Harmony smiled.

"

All right everyone, that's it for tonight. Great class, and I will see you all next week!"

Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

At the same time they were leaving the YMCA a man was leaving the bar from across the street.

When he saw her, his eyes burned with rage and betrayal.

"Slut!"

He took a few steps backwards and bumped right into the hooker that he acquired for the night.

"You ok baby," she whispered in a very practiced sultry voice?

"I'm fine," he hissed as he roughly grabbed her upper arm and practically dragged her to his car.

Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

They drove back to the Jeffersonian.

After Angela and Hodgins got out of the SUV Bones rolled her window down.

"Hey Angela?"

She spun back on her heel.

"Yeah sweetie."

"I'll see you tomorrow evening at 7:30."

Alarm bells sounded off in Angela's head.

"What are you talking about Brenn?"

"There is a lecture tomorrow. It's called Inside and Outside the Law: Anthropological Studies of Authority. The author, Olivia Harris, will present it."

"No way!"

Bones smiled.

"Well I thought you would say yes, so I already signed us up."

Hodgins coughed to cover his laughter.

Angela glared at him.

"Now we are balanced," Bones said.

"Even Bones," Booth helpfully offered.

Angela couldn't help but laugh!

"Ok sweetie you win! See you tomorrow."

Booth waited until Angela and Hodgins were in their car before he pulled out of the parking lot.

When they hit a red light Booth looked over at his Bones.

"Thanks Bones."

"For what?"

"Tonight. I know you w…"

She silenced him by placing one finger over his lips. She then grabbed one of his hands off of the steering wheel and placed it over her belly.

"I should be the one thanking you! Tonight was amazing. You were amazing! So, thank you Booth."

Lexie kicked.

They shared a smile.

The light turned green.
