Brennan was sitting in her office when her cell began buzzing. She looked at the screen as she saw her favorite name, Booth, appear.
"Brennan." she answered, like she didn't know it was he who was calling.
"Hey Bones, got a body for you. Pick you up in….20 minutes?"
"Of course. See you then." she said, closing her phone.
It had been 2 months since they both were discharged from the hospital. Brennan's injuries had healed a great deal and she was happy about that. She was also happy about the fact that her and Booth had became just like they were before. They ate together, rode together, did everything…together. It was like nothing had ever happened. Except the only thing was, when they got close, they felt the awkwardness between them. When they were so close to kissing, they knew they had to pull back because they weren't ready to cross that line just yet.
Things were finally falling back into place, and for the first time in over a year, she was truly happy.
Brennans thoughts were interrupted by a knock at her door.
"Bren, can I talk to you?" Angela asked with a worried look on her face.
"Of course Angela, come in."
Angela entered, closing the door behind her.
"What's going on?" Brennan asked.
"I have some news. It's not bad news, it's good news. Really good news."
"Then why the worried look?"
"Because I don't know how to tell Hodgins. I know he'll be happy because he really wants this but I'm just so nervous to tell him and…."
"Ange, are you….pregnant?"
"Yes." she replied shyly.
"Oh my god! Angela! You're pregnant!" she exclaimed, rising from her chair.
"I know. So…you're happy?"
"Of course I'm happy! You're having a baby!"
Angela laughed. "I never thought you would get this enthusiastic."
"Well after seeing some of the hardships that some of the kids went through in Indonesia, I have developed quite a soft spot. And I still think about having a baby every now and again."
"Really? I thought after the whole Booth brain tumor thing you dropped it."
"Yeah I dropped the conversation of it, but I never dropped the thought of it."
"Well then why don't you and Agent Studly get together already and do it the right way?"
"Angela, we're….giving it some time. We would like to get accustomed to our old lives before we delve into a serious relationship."
"So does that mean your sort of 'friends with benefits'?"
Brennan laughed. "What does that even mean?"
"Like, do you guys still kiss every once in a while, maybe even hit the sheets a couple times a week?"
"No Angela. I told you, we're….not ready."
"God damnit Brennan. It's been 6 years already how can you not be ready? I know you love him, you know you love him, and we both know he loves you. So just…take the chance. You have given so many other guys chances who you barely even knew. Why not Booth? Why not someone who knows everything about you and respects you for your flaws. Why not someone who makes you happy?"
"Angela…I, I don't know. I thought I was ready when we got home but now I'm not so sure."
"How aren't you sure? I have been pulling for you guys since day one. I have tried and tried to make you guys realize how perfect you are for each other. Why cant you guys see it? You and him are just so damn stubborn its pathetic."
"Who's pathetic?" someone asked, opening the door.
"Booth. I'll be ready in a minute."
"Ready for what?" Angela asked.
"They found a body in a lake at Breezy Heights in Bethesda."
"Oh, so we have a case?"
"I have to examine the body and see if it was a murder, but yes, probably."
"Great! I'll uh…leave you two to it then. Bye Booth. And Bren, we'll finish our conversation later."
Booth watched in amazement as Angela exited Brennans office.
"She can be so….hormonal sometimes." he said laughing.
"That's probably due to the fact that she has a human being developing in her uterus."
"What? Angelas pregnant?"
"Yes. She told me just a little bit ago."
"Wow. That's great. I bet Hodgins is thrilled."
"Actually, he doesn't know yet. Ange was nervous to tell him."
"Why? He loves kids."
"I know she's just, I don't know." she said, putting her head down.
Booth could easily since the jealousy and sadness.
"Bones, are you…do you still want to have a baby?"
"What? No, no of course not. Why would you think that?"
"Well because you seem kinda jealous that Angelas pregnant and I just thought maybe you still wanted to have a baby."
"No. That plane has sailed."
"Actually Bones, it's that ship has sailed."
"Oh, well excuse my incorrect colloquialism. Now don't we have a case?"
"Yeah, lets go."
