Chapter Twelve: Unexpected
It was a warm day in May when Booth and Bones were standing in front of Parker's Preschool, waiting for school to let out, along with all of the other parents and nannies. Rebecca had phoned them and asked for Booth to pick Parker up and keep him for a few days while she went out of town for work. Booth had readily agreed and Bones had offered to go with him to pick the little boy up.
When the last bell finally rang and all the children came outside, Booth and Bones's eyes immediately found the little blonde-haired boy as he made his way through the crowd.
"Daddy!" He cried, running into his father's arms. Booth grunted a bit as he picked up the little boy, weighed down by his backpack and overnight bag.
"Hey, Little Man. How was school?" He asked, placing Parker on the ground so he could hug Bones.
"It was great! We learned how to spell hippopotamus!"
"Really?" Booth asked, taking Parker's bags from him. "And how do you spell hippopotamus?"
"H-I-P-P-O-P-O-T-A-M-U-S!" Parker recited proudly, grabbing his father and stepmother's hands and walking with them towards the car.
"That's really good, Parker." Bones praised, surprised that he could remember how to spell such a long and complicated word the day he learned how to spell it.
"Thanks, Bonesy!" Parker said, smiling up at her and giving her his charm smile.
Bones smiled back and leaned down to help him into his car seat, while Booth put his bags in the back of the SUV.
When Parker was all buckled in, Bones gave him one last kiss on the forehead before closing the door and going to the passenger side.
After opening the door she was about to step in when she felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
"Aah!" She groaned, grabbing her stomach.
Hearing this, Booth grew worried. "Bones?" He said, running around the front of the car, catching her just as her legs gave out beneath her. "Are you okay?" He asked, helping her gently to sit on the floor as he kneeled down next to her.
Bones began to nod but shook her head violently as another pain wracked her. "I-I think I'm having contractions." she gasped out through the pain.
Booth quickly stood Bones and himself up, helping her into the car, before running over to the driver's side, and putting the siren on to get them to the hospital faster.
From the back, Parker looked from Bones to Booth, confused. "What's going on?" he asked, gripping the sides of his car seat when his father turned a sharp corner.
Booth had almost forgotten that Parker was there. He glanced at him in the rear-view mirror and smiled. "Bones is gonna have her babies." he said, cheerfully.
Parker beamed. "Really?" he said. "That's awesome!"
Bones smiled back at him. "I'm glad you think so!" she said, jokingly, holding her stomach as another contraction hit her.
When they arrived at the hospital, they were met by some doctors with a wheelchair. They immediately got her out of the car and into the wheelchair in the time it took for Booth to get Parker out of his car seat and make his way over to his wife and begin pushing her towards the emergency room.
When they got to the front desk, Booth explained that Bones was going into labor and the receptionist gave him some forms to fill out as a nurse wheeled Bones away to the Delivery Room. Parker made to follow Bones but Booth stopped him.
"Sorry, Bud, but you gotta stay with me and help call all the squints while Bones gets ready." Booth said, giving Parker his cell phone.
Parker groaned but began to dial Angela's number with no argument.
Soon, all the forms were filled out and Angela was making her way towards Booth and Parker, juggling her own baby in her arms as the rest of hers and Jack's kids followed.
"How is she?" Angela asked.
"I don't really know." Booth replied. "I haven't seen her since they took her to the Delivery Room. Do you think you could watch Parker while I go see to her?"
Angela nodded, and sat down next to Parker, saying hello to him, starting a conversation that would distract him as his father left.
"Hey, Bones." Booth said when he got to her room, dressed all in his scrubs.
"Booth." Bones breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him. "I was wondering where you were. I didn't want to have to do this alone."
"You'll never have to do something like this alone, Bones." Booth said gently.
"I'm hoping I won't have to repeat this for at least the next couple of years." Bones said, groaning as a rather painful contraction hit her and she grabbed Booth's hand, squeezing it tight.
Booth grimaced, but didn't complain, instead looking at his watch and timing her contractions, waiting until they were about two minutes apart to call in the doctor.
"Is she ready?" He asked the young female doctor, who nodded in affirmation.
"Yes, she's more than ready now." she said, helping Bones's legs into stirrups and coaxing her to push, the room filling with Bones's screams and moans.
Within the next two hours, Booth and Bones's each had two little bundles in their arms, and were looking at them fondly.
"They're so tiny." Bones's sighed.
"Yeah," Booth conceded, "I can't believe they're actually here. I can't believe we made them."
Bones smiled warmly at him. "We did well, didn't we?" she said.
Booth chuckled. "The saying is, 'We did good', Bones."
"But that's not proper English, Booth." Bones said, wearily.
Booth chuckled again, and leaned over to kiss his wife, causing the baby girl in his left arm to start whining.
"Oops, sorry Sweetie." Booth said, tenderly kissing her tiny forehead.
Bones smiled at him again. "What are we going to name them, Booth?"
"I don't know. What do you want to name them?" Booth asked her.
"I was thinking Luna for one of the girls. It's from the Harry Potter books I've been reading." Bones explained, looking at the baby girl in her right arm, who was blinking up at her, showing off her large blue eyes.
Booth smiled. "I think she could look like a Luna. But what about this pretty little Princess? You think she looks like an Angelina? That was my Grams's name."
Bones nodded. "But I think we should call her Angie for short. Angelina is sort of a mouthful."
Booth nodded, then looked down at the baby girl in his arms. "Welcome to the world, Angie." he said, nuzzling her nose.
"What about the boys?" Bones asked.
"How about we name him Joseph, after my mother's father?" Booth said, motioning towards the baby boy in his arms.
Bones nodded. "That's a good name. How about Tyler for him." she said looking at the youngest baby in her arms, who was sleeping peacefully.
Booth nodded. "Yeah, that's a great name, Bones."
Bones smiled at him and he smiled back, both feeling complete with their babies in their arms.
So, there you have it. Luna, Angelina, Joseph, and Tyler. Those are the names I gave the babies on Sims 3 when I made Booth and Brennan (I know, I'm obsessed) and they sorta just stuck with me. Anyways, tell me how you like the names. Please REVIEW!
