By the time Booth and Joy made their way back to the Jeffersonian, Booth was beginning to think that they were all correct in being worried. The snow was coming down hard and the wind made it nearly impossible to see. They walked in and shook the snow off of their coats.

"Joy Joy!" Angela scooped the tiny girl up and gave her a kiss. "I missed you." she signed to the girl.

"I missed you too." Joy signed. "Is it time for that baby's party?" Joy asked.

"Yep! Let's go see mama." Angela smiled and galloped Joy up the stairs to the gathering.

"AWWWW" the collective gaggle of women cooed over the tiny outfit that Bones unwrapped.

"Thanks everyone." Bones smiled and looked uncomfortable.

Booth sat down beside Bones and motioned for Joy to join them.

"Joy has one more surprise for Mommy." Booth said and signed.

Joy smiled and looked at her mother. "Mah-mee." Joy said "Dah-dee." She smiled.

Bones burst into tears and grabbed Joy into a tender embrace. "Joy, that's wonderful. I love you." Bones wiped the tears from her eyes and kissed Joy's face.

At the conclusion of the baby shower, they were all in for a rude surprise, courtesy of Mother Nature.

"All of the roads are closed." Hodgins sighed. "There is no way any of us are leaving tonight."

"What?!?!" Bones cried. "No, No." She sat down wearily on her couch. "I am 9 months pregnant. I can't sleep here." she sniffled.

Booth walked in behind Jack with Joy in his arms.

"Sorry Babe - we're stuck here at least until the morning." He leaned in and kissed her. "We'll fix up the couch. It'll be OK."

Booth signed to Joy "Wanna play sleepover Baby B?"

Joy smiled and began skipping around the room. "Yeah sleepover!" she signed.

Booth grabbed her arm and smiled.

"Why don't you go with Uncle Jack and find Aunt Angel. We'll figure out where we're going to all sleep OK?" Booth kissed her head as she skipped off with Jack.

Bones rubbed her swollen belly. "Fix it Booth." she cried. "I am too tired, too sore, too swollen to deal with this rationally. I want my bed." she sniffled.

"Listen, I'll make up the couch, I'll sleep in the floor with the munchkin." Booth rubbed her back. "we'll be out of here first thing in the morning. You'll be in your bed by 7. OK?" He soothed.

"I love you." She kissed his face.
