Oyster

"I'm sorry, Bones, I'm really sorry!" he said guiltily for the hundredth time as he passed a cold wet cloth on her damp hair and forehead.

He couldn't help but lean down and place a loving kiss on her head as she rolled her eyes at all this attention.

"Stop it, Booth" she said weakly as she sat back against the cool wall "You know that I don't think it's your fault, I've been telling you that for hours!"

He sighed, not quite forgiving himself anyways. He moved to sit next to her and she leaned her head on his shoulder, the exhaustion the bad night starting to come up to her. She could feel his intense gaze on her and she knew she must have looked beyond miserable. That made her very uncomfortable.

"Stop worrying about me and go back to bed. Get some sleep" she mumbled.

"I'm not leaving. I got you sick so I'm not going to sleep while you're here –"

"– performing hours of intense hugging with the toilet?" she interrupted him, looking at it exasperated "Don't worry about it, we've become friends by now, we're making each other company"

She gulped again, trying desperately to avoid another hug with her friend. Sighing, Booth moved his arms around her in a much more pleasant embrace, his hand on her grumpy stomach.

"I guess Beanie didn't like the oysters that much, did she?" he tried to comfort her.

Brennan rolled her eyes. They had bickered endlessly about him thinking of their baby as a girl, but he must have gotten to her, because now she had started herself to imagine their little girl. It would be a big problem if she turned out to be a he.

"I guess. I've eaten oysters before and it was never a problem. It must be because of her." Booth raised a humorous eyebrow at her "Or him." She corrected herself.

Her hand covered his on the small bump, they could barely feel it but it was already a very real proof of the truth, still surreal to both of them.

"It was a very pleasant evening, no matter how it turned out" she smiled, resting comfortably on his shoulder, enjoying their closeness. "Although you didn't have to choose that fancy restaurant, we don't need fancy, we just need us."

"I wanted to spoil you a little bit. I wanted to do something special for you. I'm so sorry it backfired on you." He blushed, the guilt still present.

"Hey" she turned in his arms to meet his eyes "Stop apologizing! It's not your fault, you didn't know it would make me sick" she scolded him, gentle but determined. He was such a protective alpha male, especially when it came to her, she knew that very well.

He kissed her forehead, lingering there and nuzzling her hair. "Feeling better? What do you say about going back to bed?"

She pondered for a second and then, as on purpose, her stomach twisted again and sent her forward hugging the toilet again. He followed immediately, holding up her hair and supporting her. "I guess that's a no."

She whimpered and leaned back against him, exhausted. He caught her in his arms and held her tight. "Come on, Beanie, let your mummy have some rest, please" he whispered to his baby.

"I don't think that's going to help" she sighed.

"Who knows, I tried" his hand went back to her stomach, softly massaging it.

Brennan leaned her head back and he kissed that special place on her neck as she let out a moan.

"Come on, baby, let's get some sleep" he murmured.

She tried to protest but the night spent all her strength. His arms came under her knees and back and he picked her up from the floor seemingly effortless.

"I'd love to see you doing that in about six months" she smiled weakly, nuzzling his neck.

"Just watch me" he replied as he laid her on their bed and climbed on behind her, wrapping her safely in his arms, their conjoined hands protectively covering their baby. "Good night Bones, good night baby girl." he smiled, repeating the good night wish he had said since he found out she was pregnant.

"Hopefully… " she breathed, sleep already taking over her.

Apparently Booth's pleads to the baby worked because she slept a few uninterrupted hours. It was already morning when she woke up and, turning in her sheets, she discovered that the space next to her was empty and cold and Booth was nowhere to be seen.

Seen, because after a second she heard him. A very familiar, unmistakable noise.

"Oh no." she muttered as she leapt from the bed, got in her slippers and walked to the bathroom.

She found him just like he had found her, sweaty, heavily breathing and sitting against the wall, a safe distance from her – now their – new best friend.

"Do you have anything you want to tell me?" she asked with a small smile as she walked in a sat beside him.

He looked at her miserably and confused.

"Are you pregnant too?" she clarified.

He laughed, apparently too forcefully as he had to crawl back to the toilet. They switched roles from a few hours before.

"We were wrong" he whimpered as he sat back down "It wasn't because of the baby, it was just those damned oysters!" he cried. "I guess I deserved it, I'm sorry Beanie"

She sighed as she stroke his hair "No you didn't… but please" she winked "Let's never go in that way too fancy restaurant again. Ever!"

"Deal" he agreed as they both leaned back against the cool wall. "From now on only the Diner"

Brennan's eyes lit up "The girls vote in favor of that proposition" she glowed "And Wong Foo's too…" she added shyly.

"Bones? You're not hungry, are you?" he looked at her shocked. After the hell of a night she spent she was hungry?

"No…" she said vaguely, blushing slightly "I'd just love some Thai food"
