Cam grabbed Booth's shoulders. "It's going to be OK. Babies take a while to get here, and I did a rotation in OB when I was in residency. Granted, it's been a while, but I did." Cam smiled at him. "Go take care of her. Explain the situation." Cam watched Booth shake his head and went back to Bren with Cam in tow.
"Bones? Are you OK?" Booth asked.
"Yeah, I think that they are getting closer together though. They are starting to wrap around too." Bones grimaced as another contraction racked her body.
"What's closer together?" Jack asked his eyes full of concern. "I couldn't sleep and I heard you guys - is everything OK?"
"Bones is in labor." Booth looked at him his eyes full of concern. "The ambulances can't..." Booth looked down at Bren and grabbed her hand. "Baby, the ambulances can't get here. At least not for a while." Booth sighed "Cam's going to help us out until then OK? Everything is going to be fine."
Temperance looked up at Booth. "OK, just don't leave me." She cried.
"Bren I think that we need to check and see how far along we are. Can I do that?" Cam whispered.
"Yes, just give me a minute." She gasped.
"Wait - guys, are we going to have the baby here?" Jack panicked.
"No - I hope not." Cam looked up from Bren "But, we need to be ready just in case." Cam looked at Jack.
"Hodgens, can you wake up Sweets and the two of you try to get as many blankets from the gift bags as possible? It's all in Booth's car." Cam took a deep breath "Also, once your done with that, try to clear a path for the ambulance. Don't stay out there too long though, all I need is for you two to get hypothermia." Cam chuckled.
"Will do." Hodgens made his way to Cam's office where Sweets was camped out.
"Booth, let's get her back to her office." Cam said "We'll check here there."
Booth carefully lifted Bren in his arms and made his way to her office. "Booth, I'm too heavy." Bones protested, but by then another contraction wracked her body, and she buried her head in his chest and cried out in pain.
"Just breathe Bones. HeeeHeee just like they taught us." Booth soothed. He carefully laid her on the couch and helped her out of her panties so Cam could check her dilation.
"Ready Bren?" Cam asked gently.
"Yeah, I think I have a minute." She said weakly. Cam carefully checked Bren's cervix.
"Oh, oh, Bren your..... your already at a 5 - almost a 6." Cam withdrew a gloved hand. "The baby is really low. I can feel the head." She then looked up at Booth suddenly. "Her water just broke. Go tell those guys to hurry up!" Cam smiled at Bones. "I haven't delivered a baby since my rotation in OB. Looks like I might her that second chance." She patted Bren on the knee as she grimaced through another contraction.
"Argggg. HEEE HEE." Bren panted. 2 hours later, there were as ready as a lab could be for the birth of a baby. Sweets and Hodgens brought plenty of baby items in from the car. A foot of snow had been pushed aside in the hopes that an ambulance might save the day. Angela kept watch over a still sleeping Joy. Her lack of hearing saved them from her waking up due to the commotion.
Bren was laying on her couch, Booth at her side with Cam keeping a close eye. Sweets and Hodgens looked on helplessly from just outside the door, hoping against hope that an ambulance might rear into the distance and save the day.
"Bren, your at a 10 now." Cam said excitedly. "You can push when your ready."
"UMMMPPPP." Bones cried. "I need to push NOW!" She panted.
"Okay, Seeley, help her hold her legs up." Cam commanded. "Bren at your next contraction push. Push down towards your bottom." Cam spoke gently.
"Here it comes." Bones cried.
"Push baby, Push." Booth spoke tearfully.
Twenty minutes later a baby's lustful cried filled the halls of the Jeffersonian's lab.
"It's a BOY!" Cam cried. "A big boy." Cam said as she began tearing up.
She cleaned the baby's airway and tied off the cord with some dental floss that Angela had.
"Dad, wanna cut the cord?" Cam smiled.
Booth looked down at the now crying Bones and cut the cord freeing his son from his wife. Cam helped Bones deliver the Placenta which to her relief was entirely intact.
They cleaned up the baby, diapered, and swaddled him. They then placed him in his mother's arms.
"You did a great job Bren." Cam smiled. "Thank you for letting me help." Cam wiped a stray tear from her face.
"No, thank you Cam." Bones looked up at her. "You saved us."
"I'll leave you three alone for a minute. I am sure those two out there are dying to know." Cam walked out of Bren's office, closing the glass door behind her.
"You did it." Booth whispered. "He's perfect." he smiled.
"He looks just like you." Bones chuckled. "So, what are we going to call him?"
"Impatience?" Booth joked.
"How about Jacob?" Bones asked. "Jacob Cameron?" Bones offered "After Cam? She got him here after all." Bones kissed his soft head.
"Jake - I love it." Booth kissed Bones tenderly. "I love you too."
Twenty minutes later, Angela woke a still sleeping Joy in her office. "Joy. Joy I have a surprise for you." Angela smiled at the 4 year old. Joy sat up and smiled. "Can we go home?" she signed "No, better than." Angela smiled and scooped up the tiny girl headed in the direction of Bren's office.
"Knock-knock" Angela said. "Someone wants her surprise!" Angela smiled and put Joy down to meet her brother.
"Baby B!" Booth signed. "Come here."
"Is that my baby?" Joy signed.
"Yes, he came last night." Booth signed and picked up his daughter so she could see.
"Mama!" Joy signed "Is that my baby?"
"Yes, this is your baby Jake." Bones smiled and motioned for her to come closer.
"Oh, he's beautiful!" Joy signed. "Did Santa bring him?" Joy asked.
It was, after all, snowing and just after Christmas.
Booth laughed. "No, but that doesn't mean he's not just as special." Booth beamed at his new family.
"Guys! The ambulance is here!" Sweets stuck his head in Bren's office.
"Let them wait." Bones laughed as Joy kissed her new brother on the head.
