Booth was about halfway up the stairs when his cell phone rang. He instantly recognized Brennan's number. "Hey, Bones!" He greeted cheerily.

"Err… this isn't Doctor Brennan."

Booth stopped. His brows knitted together. "Sweets?"

"Hi…" he said awkwardly.

Booth's confused expression quickly changed. "Sweets! How are you feeling?"

"Sore."

"That's good!" Excitedly, Booth started back up the stairs again.

"I guess."

"Bones was supposed to call me when you woke up." Booth said.

"Agent Perotta is here. She said you were busy and you sent her over just in case things went sour with… with Taffet." Sweets replied.

It didn't take a psychologist to recognize the tone in his voice. "Don't worry, kid. Everything's over." Booth said reassuringly.

"So you got him right?" Sweets blurted out. The burst caused an avalanche. " 'Cause I remember in the ambulance you told me that you got him and then Brennan said that he broke out, she got held hostage and you got shot and then she said you had to go to another hostage situation because Taffet got away and Perotta told me where the hostage situation was and I thought of Daisy and then she told me-"

"Sweets." Booth cut him off. Sweets took a large inhale of air as he stopped. "We got him, Sweets. Agent Shaw shot him. And Daisy is perfectly fine."

"That's good." Sweets squeaked. "Is he still alive?"

"Yes." Booth replied.

It was silent for a few seconds. "Doctor Brennan wants to talk to you." Sweets handed over the phone to the anthropologist. His stomach was tied in knots and he could feel a dull thudding start in his head. He figured it was an effect from the mild concussion he had. He didn't bother to listen to Doctor Brennan and Booth's conversation. He just played with a loose string on his blanket.

"You've apprehended Taffet?" Brennan asked.

"Yes." Booth replied and then quickly switched the subject. "Why'd you tell Sweets about me getting shot? That's why I wasn't wearing the sling! It's going to make him feel guilty!"

"Sweets wished to know what was going on. So I briefly went over what happened after we found him. I'm an award winning author, Booth, I think I know how to give a summary without revealing key plot details."

"And you didn't think me getting shot was a key detail?"

"I skipped over some of the details of that event." Brennan replied. "And I did not tell him about our surpriseeither." She was proud of herself for using the code word they had established a while ago.

"Ah." Booth slapped his forehead as he stopped in the doorway of the apartment. "I spilled the beans."

"What beans? I thought you were still at the crime scene?"

"No, Bones, I told Angela, Hodgins, and Cam about the baby! When you got taken and he threatened the baby… I just…" Booth ran a hand through his hair.

"Angela already knew." Brennan admitted.

"Why am I not surprised?" Booth groaned. "That means Hodgins knew too."

"Just because Angela knew does not mean Hodgins does." Brennan defended.

"They're married, Bones. Of course Hodgins knows!" Booth emphasized. "Look, I gotta go, Bones. Just hold off on telling Sweets about the surprise for now, alright? I want to see the look on his face!" He chuckled. "Oh, and keep an eye on him, will ya? He's still dealing with this whole situation and I-"

"I got this, Booth."

"Alright, Bones." Booth replied with a smile. He then clicked his phone shut. He walked over to where Agent Shaw was still sitting. She had her shirt pulled up so it exposed her ribs. They were black and blue already. Hanson was discussing something with a SWAT agent nearby. Booth crouched down beside the new agent as the paramedic prodded gently along Shaw's ribs. "How are you doing?"

"Fine, sir." Shaw replied.

"Enough with the sir crap." Booth said. Shaw nodded tersely. "Look you did a great job today, don't get me wrong, but you need to let us know when you're in trouble."

Shaw was reminded of a father scolding his child for riding their bike to fast and scraping their knee. It wasn't her fault Taffet had hit her with the butt of his gun. "With all due respect, I didn't exactly have time." She replied.

Booth nodded. "I trust your judgment. This happens again though and I'm putting you on desk duty and surveillance for two weeks. You got that?"

"Loud and clear."

"Good. Get those ribs fixed up. I expect you to keep to light duty for a while." Booth got up to leave.

"Agent Booth?"

"Yes?" One of his eyebrows lifted in question.

"How's Doctor Sweets?" A rosy tint came to her cheeks.

"He's good." Booth replied with a knowing smirk. It only made Shaw's cheeks turn a deeper crimson. "I'll let him know you asked." He winked and walked away before Shaw could protest.

-break-

Sweets knew something was up as soon as Booth strode in with his chest puffed out. The micro expressions on his face pointed to something. Brennan's face was harder to read. He could only pick happiness off of it. But now everyone was here... except Daisy. Hodgins and Angela were sitting at Sweets' right, but their baby was missing. Cam, being the kidnapper, was standing across the room holding said child. Brennan was sitting to Sweets' left. The same place she'd been for the last few hours.

"Wow, this place is packed." Booth said as he closed the door behind him.

"Tell me about it. I'm feeling claustrophobic." Hodgins replied. Angela elbowed him in the side in a teasing manner.

"I'm sure Sweets is glad to have the company. This place is so boring." Angela complained.

Sweets showed his dimples as a smile crossed his face. "I totally agree."

Brennan gave Booth a look. Booth nodded. "Well, everyone, I have an announcement to make." Brennan said. She looked at Angela who was practically bouncing up and down with excitement. "And actually, Sweets is the only one who doesn'tknow."

Sweets' brow scrunched together in confusion. How could Angela know without everyone else knowing?

"I said something before, but the circumstances weren't that great." Booth added.

This confused the psychologist even more. Cam almost laughed at Sweets' expression. She bit her lip to keep from saying anything.

Brennan looked at Sweets with a huge smile on her face. She took a deep breath and then announced, "I'm pregnant."

Sweets' mouth dropped open in surprise. "What?"

Cam couldn't help it. She busted out laughing.

"Well who's the-" he cut himself short. Booth's smug expression said it all. "Booth?" He squeaked out.

"We're having a baby!" Booth said with a wide grin. His face was lit up like a Christmas tree.

Sweets was still stunned, but a large smile was on his face. "That's awesome!" he burst out. "Congrats!" He looked around the room. "You guys all knew and didn't tell me?"

"I just found out earlier today." Cam said defensively.

Sweets' gaze went to Angela. She threw her hands up. "I was notgiving this one up."

"So do you have names picked out?" Sweets asked Brennan. He couldn't help an 'I told you so' feeling rise up in him. He knew that one day they would finally realize their feelings for each other and embrace them.

"Woah, hold up there. I would like to do some research before we begin our debate." Booth said and gave Brennan a look.

"That's what I… Oh! You are using irony." Brennan said sheepishly.

The room burst into laughter with some congratulations echoing over top.

A/N: Surprise! :D Haha. I'm really sad that we don't get to see Sweets' reaction to the BB baby in the show. Since Brennan is already heavily pregnant when the show starts that means all the characters know already. Oh well! That's what fanfiction is for!
