A/N: Here's another chapter with both Brennan and Booth's perspectives. Enjoy some more super fluff!


Simple Day

Let me tell you 'bout a simple day
In my own way I woke up at six today
Put on the coffee machine
I always dreamed of being a millionaire
Without a care in the world 'cause I'm losing my hair

Dressing up like a model in the shop window
Even though I know I got it wrong and it don't go
You get to work to find your boss is in a mood
Man, what makes him think he can be so rude

Forgot to wash your face and your head aches too
People are staring as they pass you by
Let it go don't show that you're a single man
And not a day goes by without a porno mag

God damn, if I had only stayed at home today
I'd be fine to live there rest of my life this way

I woke that morning and everything felt…different. I looked next to me and Bones was still there. Asleep. In our bed. That thought was still thrilling for me. We had been living together for almost a year. But something seemed…off. She was still there, the room was still intact but I just had this gut feeling that something about today was going to be different.

I tried going back to sleep but we had to get up soon anyway so I laid down to face Bones and watched her, waiting for her to wake up. Twenty minutes later, when our alarm went off, Bones didn't say good morning first.

Instead, she asked, "Why were you watching me sleep?"

"How do you know I was watching you sleep?"

She smiled at me sleepily. "I was awake too. I'm just better at feigning sleep than you are."

"You're better at everything…almost."

She looked offended. "What? What are you better at than I am?"

"Sports…and…peeing standing up," I offered.

"Naturally, most men are more athletic than most women and women don't need to urinate while standing up. That's kind of gross, Booth."

I gave her a big grin and said, "I'm sorry if I woke you up."

She shrugged and rolled out of bed.

"Why would you wake me up?" she asked, pulling the sheets up to make the bed.

I shrugged this time. "I was thinking so loud I'm sure the neighbors heard."

"I don't know what that means."

I chuckled quietly. "Of course not. Basically, I was just thinking a lot. You know, like you could've heard gears turning."

She kept that squinty look on her face until she shouted, "Oh! Metaphorically!"

I walked around the bed and pulled her into a hug. "What were you thinking about?" she said. I could feel her breath on my neck and it made me shiver.

"Today just feels…good, I guess. It feels like a good day." She looked up at me and smiled.

"Good," she said and kissed me. I could hardly contain myself and I pulled her to me as close as possible. I wrapped one hand in her hair and slid the other under the hem of her shirt.

In a move that was probably for the best, she pushed me away.

"We need to go to work," she mumbled, her lips still on mine.

I almost went to dead weight in her arms. I hated when she did that. "Fine. Then you can make the coffee," I said, trying to make it sound like a punishment.

She scoffed and went into the bathroom. "Go make breakfast. I'll be there in a minute."


I went into the bathroom and listened for Booth to walk down the hall to the kitchen. As soon as I knew he was gone, I ran to the toilet and lost my dinner from the night before.

Shit, I knew what this meant. I had been doing this for the past three weeks and it didn't take a high school education to know that I was pregnant.

I don't know why I was so upset. I had wanted this at one point. This was good. I had to repeat that to myself over and over again. Shit, I thought again. Now I have to tell Booth. How does one go about breaking news like this? We had been responsible about our intercourse. At least, I thought we had been.

I decided I should at least somewhat confirm my hypothesis by taking a store bought test. I wasn't sure when I bought it but it had been sitting in the back of a drawer in the bathroom for a few months now.

Peeing on a plastic stick is not the most comfortable thing in the world. It is actually quite awkward and seemingly unnecessary. If I had planned head, I would've urinated into a cup and put the stick in there.

Booth knocked on the door. "Baby, come on!"

"Just one minute, Booth."

"Didja fall in?" he called through the door. I did not understand the context but he was laughing hysterically.

"I don't know what that means," I shouted back.

"Okay, Bones, never mind. Hurry, I need my coffee."

I rolled my eyes, tossed the pregnancy test into the sink and went to make coffee for Booth.


I shoved a half piece of toast in my mouth in one bite. Bones looked at me, both disgusted and affectionate and looked over at the clock on the stove.

"Booth, we need to get ready for work now if we want to be on time."

I nodded and cleaned our plates from the table.

She walked down the hall and shouted, "What suit? I'll pull it out of the closet."

"Uh, pick one. Grab a tie, too!" I called after her.

Once our plates were in the dish washer, I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

Bones was standing in the walk in closet. "I can't pick out a tie!" she said. She was frustrated. She wasn't one to get frustrated easily, especially over something dumb about my tie.

"Just grab the one Parker gave me for Christmas!" I shouted.

"The Lion King tie? Or the tie with Santas?" she called back.

"The Lion King," I answered, walking into the bathroom.

"Shit!" I heard her. I glanced behind me but kept walking to the sink to brush my teeth. I pulled my toothbrush from the stand on the counter and turned on the faucet.

"Booth," Bones said from the doorway. I looked up at her. She was worried. But I noticed her eyes darting back between me and the sink.

"Booth?" she asked. She was quiet and nervous. She was staring at the sink now.

"What does it say?"

I looked down into the sink. I shouldn't have been surprised to see the test there. It shocked the hell outta me though.

"Booth, what does it say?" She was nervously tapping her foot on the tile floor.

I looked at it closer and saw the smiley face.

"Bones…"

"So I just have the flu, right? I've been throwing up for a while. It's just some long bout of the flu, right?" She was staring at the floor.

"Temperance…"

Her head snapped up to look at me. She had a nervous smile on her face.

"Is a smiley face…good or bad?" I asked. I knew it meant she was pregnant. But I wanted to know if it was good or bad for her. We had talked about kids, even though it was before we were together.

She came over to me and kissed me. It was slow and soft, like she was still nervous.

"I guess no more field work for a while, huh?" she said, smiling. I let out a deep belly laugh and scooped her up. I was going to be a dad. Again.

"We gotta go tell Parker! He's going to flip!"

She looked at me, growing rational now. "He's at school. Call Rebecca and ask her if you can pick him up from school. We can take him to the diner for a shake or pie and tell him then. There is no sense in distracting him during the school day."

I smiled at her. I couldn't believe it. The woman I loved more than anything in the world was going to have a baby. My baby. I was going to be grinning like an idiot all damn day.

"Let's take today off. Call Cam and say you're feeling sick, which apparently you were and I didn't even know about it. And I'll call Hacker and say Parker's homesick with me. We can just…lay in bed all day," I said, thinking of more possibilities, "or we could go shopping! We'll need a crib and a high chair and-"

"And a bigger house," she cut me off.

"What?" I thought she was kidding.

"Well we can't expect Parker to share a room with the baby forever. Plus a yard would be a bonus," she said.

"Well…" I didn't know what to say.

"Let's just tell Parker first," she said, "We can worry about a house later."

"Sick day?" I requested.

She shook her head. "No. I would expect that somehow Cam or Angela would figure out that we were both faking illnesses today. We would be in serious trouble. Plus, I'm sure Angela would converge on us simultaneously asking how our day was."

I nodded and pulled out my phone. "Rebecca? Hey, would it be alright if Bones and I picked up Parker after school. We have to talk to him about something…what? No, we're not getting married…no, wait, how'd you guess? It's not like we planned…oh, okay we'll have him home by five…yeah, thanks, Rebecca."

I put my phone away and was extremely confused.

"So we can get him from school?"

I nodded. "Rebecca asked me if we were getting married. And then she asked if you were pregnant. It was like she knew."

Bones nodded slowly. "I think we'll be getting a lot of that today."
