Angela sat down on the bench outside the diner. She looked at all of the people walking around her. She saw a young couple walking a dog. She watched a mother walking with three kids, trying to keep an eye on all of them. She saw an elderly couple strolling hand in hand. She noticed that someday, she could look back at her life and realize that she had been all of these people, on time or another. For her life, she just wanted happiness, something that Michael Vincent and Jack give her. While a baby could be nice, she could still be happy without one. She stood up and called Jack on his cell phone; he was at Booth and Brennan's house helping them remodel.
She walked down the street waiting for him to pick up his phone. She didn't know how to tell him, or even what she was going to say. She didn't have time to form a thought before he answered
"Hey Angie! What's up my beautiful lady?" Jack answered with his always cheerful voice.
"Nothing exciting, really. I'm at the diner with Brennan and the kids."
"Is everything alright?" Jack answered with alarm. "It's kind of a weird time to call me, no?"
"Oh everything is fine sweetie, it's just that Bren asked me about you know what, and I felt wrong telling her anything before I talked to you." Angela said.
"Oh I see. So… what's up?"
Angela started to ramble, " Well did we… do we… even want a kid? I mean they're expensive, and they're loud.. and… I mean we have one already so do we need another? And yeah they're cute, and fun, but Let's be practical here! We don't have the time or space or money or anything else to raise a kid so... I mean I don't want one… do you? Her voice broke, "Jack, are you there?"
"Hey, baby, it's alright. Slow down. I think a baby would be great. We can do anything, right? And no baby, that's fine too! We have each other, and we have Michael Vincent, so we're set, no? I think that we can handle what ever happens to us, what ever comes our way."
"It was negative. We're not having another baby." Angela hung up the phone, wiped the makeup smeared under her eyes, took a deep breath, and walked back to enjoy lunch with her friend.
