Chapter 17

I Knew It

POV Booth

These days I can never sleep through the whole night because Bones keeps moving because she can't get comfortable. Once again I'm now awake but I have no idea why. Bones is not moving around. So what the hell I'm just going to roll back over and go back to sleep. I'm turning to face Bones to give her a light kiss on her forehead. She is so beautiful when she sleeps. I take that back she looks beautiful all the time, but I love to watch her sleep. Opening my eyes to kiss her I'm shocked at the fact that she is not here. My eyes have wandered towards the clock. It is 2:30 a.m. The bathroom is dark and the door is open so I know she is not in there. I've pushed myself into the sitting position and am swinging my legs over the edge of our bed. Rubbing away the sleep from my eyes I'm ready to go on a hunt for my Bones.

POV Brennan

Here I am lying in bed for the fifth night in a row wide awake. My ankles, feet and back are killing me. I keep shifting around because I can't get comfortable. Every night this week I've woken Booth up with all my moving around. He is really starting to stress out about having all the baby supplies we need. We will be parents in about two weeks. Booth needs to sleep because his emotions are on the frits just like mine so I to try really hard to get myself out of bed with nobody's help and I finally do. I think it's a good idea to go get a drink of water. Maybe the walking around will make me tired to the point that it doesn't matter what position I'm in I will fall asleep. My bare feet are warmed by the fuzzy tan carpet we have in our hall. Walking over to the sink I turn on the little light above it. My eyes are adjusting to the light. The cool air hits my face as I open the refrigerator door. My right hand grabs a bottle of water from the bottom shelf. After taking a few sips I'm now placing the bottle on the counter. I bring my hands to rest over my stomach. I'm thinking about how soon I will finally become a mother. When reality comes crashing down. I'm not going to be a mother to just one child, but two. I still haven't told Booth. The babies are kicking me hard as the idea of not telling him at all jumps into my mind. According to the twins that's not a good idea. I'm crying silently as I realize I might have to raise the twins on my own because Booth is going to be mad at the fact that I didn't tell him. I can't be a single mom and I love Booth so much that I can't lose him.

POV Booth

As I'm entering the hall I think I can see a little light glowing at the end. I don't have a gut feeling that something is wrong so I'm letting all of my worry go, at least for right now. The light is coming from the kitchen. I move to stand in the doorway. There she is. Her back is to me as she faces the counter. I hear her sniffle as her body slightly shakes.

"Bones"

She just keeps standing there. She doesn't turn to face me. I'm now walking over to stand behind her.

"Bones? Baby what's wrong?"

As I'm just about at her back she turns around to face me. By looking at her face I can tell she has been crying and that there are more tears on the verge on spilling over.

"Sweetheart, tell me what's wrong."

As I say the word "sweetheart" I can see her flinch.

"Don't call me that."

"Why not Temperance you have been okay with pet names for awhile now."

"… I … Because I … I don't deserve to be called that."

The flood gates have broken. The tears are now freely flowing.

"Yes you do. How can you say that? You deserve everything this world has to offer you even if I can't give it to you."

"No Booth. There is something that I need to tell you that I should have told you a long time ago."

My heart skips a beat. She has been hiding something from me? I love her and I know her emotions are all crazy because of the hormones. Mine are crazy too and I know this because she ever so nicely shoved that one in my face the other day. So I need to stay calm. Stay calm Seeley and stay strong. That all went down the drain and fast.

"What … What is it Bones you can tell me."

I'm mentally kicking myself for how weak that sounded as it came out of my mouth. I need to hear what she has to say. I need to know. I've totally lost my cool and am now desperate.

"Bones, please I need to know."

I'm struggling to keep my tears back now. Could this baby not be mine? She told me it was. Did she have sex a few days before I told her that I love her as we made love? I don't know if I could handle that. A single tear slides down my broken face.

POV Brennan

A single tear just slid down Booth's face.

"Don't look so sad."

I can't tell him when he is like this. My brain is overloaded. My heart is talking to me though. It says that if I don't tell this man, the man that I love and care for with all of my heart then I will lose him. He opens his mouth to speak, but I talk first.

"We are having twins."

He is just standing there looking at me straight in the eyes.

"What did you say?"

"I said we are having twins."

Booth tries to whisper to himself, but I heard him…

POV Booth

"I said we are having twins."

Bones and I are having twins!

"I knew it."

"How did you know?"

I guess I said that a little louder than I thought. Now is the time to tell her about what I saw when I was in my coma.

"Let's go back to bed and I'll tell you."

"You're not mad? You're not going to make me do this on my own?"

"Of course not Bones. When I told you that I loved you I meant it, and someday I will put a ring on that finger."

I grab her hand and squeeze it as we walk back to our bed.

As the night went on I told her my story. There were tears when I told her about life would be in the beginning without me and smiles when I told her about how even if I was gone that things would have turned out alright, but lastly tears of joy when I told Bones about her mother and how she is watching over her. I don't think she realized that I noticed before she closed her eyes after we kissed goodnight that she glanced up towards the sky. There was a single tear in her eye and it sparkled from the glow of the moon.

Once again sorry for the long wait for the update. I hope you are all still reading this story. As you can tell it is coming to a close soon. I would like to know if you had any ideas for what my next story should be about. I have some ideas maybe in the next chapter I will put them down and see which one you guys would like to see me write. Thanks for reading still. The next chapter will be up as soon as I can write it.
