Chapter 4
That Evening
Brennan was typing up her report of her examination of a set of skeletal remains when she heard a soft knock on the door. She looked up to see Booth standing in the doorway.
"I brought you something" He said walking over to her desk and handing her a bag. Brennan took the bag and peeked inside.
"Chocolates? What no flowers?" She said with a smirk. Booth smiled back.
"I would have gotten you flowers if I knew you wanted some" He said with a chuckle. She looked up at him and smiled.
"I overreacted at the diner" She said softly. Booth waited for her to continue. "I should have given you the chance to explain what you meant. So… Now is your chance"
"Well… Um… I mean it just seems a little early to… really know if your pregnant for sure… but that's just my thinking." He said, not knowing what else to say.
"Booth, just… forget that I'm pregnant for a moment. Look me in the eyes and tell me what you want. Do you want to be with me?" She said bluntly. Booth looked her deep in the eyes.
"I don't have to look you in the eyes to know that I want to be with you, Bones. I know in my heart that I've loved you for a long time now… I just didn't know how to tell you" He said bluntly. Brennan took a deep breath then let it out slowly and stood up.
"So… are we going to try this… thing that we may have just started?" She said walking over to him. He smiled at her and pulled her close to him.
"Is that what you want?" He asked. She chuckled at him.
"Do you really have to ask me that?" she asked, with a smile. He knew that look in her eyes.
"I guess not" He murmured.
Two weeks later
"Agent Booth, may I have a word with you?" Director Cullen asked entering Booth's office. Booth looked up for a moment without answering.
"Sure, what's up?" Booth asked, setting his pen on the desk. Cullen took one of the seats that was set up in front of Booth's desk.
"I was told that Dr. Brennan is pregnant…" Cullen said "By you" Booth chuckled to himself.
"Who told you that?" Booth asked, calmly. Cullen smirked at Booth before answering.
"Dr. Camille Saroyan told me this." Cullen replied. Booth's smirk faded quickly at that reply.
"Cam must have gotten her information wrong…" Booth said. "Though I did donate my sperm as a favor for Bones." Cullen nodded his head.
"In what form?" Cullen asked. Booth sighed, Cullen was the type of person who pushed a subject.
"Sir, are you insinuating that I've slept with Bones?" Booth asked, rather annoyed. Cullen chuckled.
"No, but I get the feeling you have… Don't forget about your appointment with Dr. Sweets this afternoon" Cullen said leaving Booth's office.
"I've got a bad feeling about this…" Booth said to himself.
