Booth and Brennan were in the car on their way to the crime scene. Booth noticed that Brennan hadn't said a word the whole time, and instead stared out the window. He couldn't figure out why she wouldn't talk to him. He knew something was wrong, and he knew it had something to due with the fact that Angela was pregnant. He also knew that his brain tumor had messed her up royally. If they wouldn't have found that brain tumor, there was a very good chance that he could have a second child right now, maybe even his first daughter. But he also wondered if he would've even said yes to the sperm donation if he didn't have the tumor.
The silence began to kill him, so he finally spoke up to figure out what the problem was.
"Bones, is something bothering you?" he asked, but she didn't answer right away.
"Bones." he said again, this time a little louder.
"Huh? What?" she asked, turning her head. "Did you say something?"
"Yeah, I asked if something was bothering you."
"No, why?"
"You haven't said a word since we left the Jeffersonian and you've been spacing out." he stated, worry evident on his face.
"I'm fine Booth. Really." she answered assuringly.
"Bones, you know you can talk to me, right? Just because we're aware of our feelings doesn't mean we can't talk to each other about personal things."
"I know. I know. I just…nevermind." she said, putting her head down.
"What Bones?"
"Nothing."
"You know, I saw your facial expressions when you told me that Angela was having a baby. You were sad and jealous. You still want to have a baby and don't tell me you don't. I know after they found the brain tumor that all the talk about doing it went away, but honestly Bones, tell me. Do you still want to have a baby?"
"Yes! Yes, okay? I was so dead set on using your sperm to have a baby a couple years ago and I was actually excited that I was going to be a mother. But then, you got that damn brain tumor and I knew I still could have a baby if I wanted with someone else's sperm, but I realized, I only wanted to have a baby if it was yours. And now Angela's pregnant and she's gonna wanna go shopping and do all kinds of pre-baby stuff, and all I'm gonna do is wish that was me."
She started crying.
"Bones, I'm sorry but we're here."
She wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Good." she mumbled.
She hurried up and got out of the SUV.
Booth walked up behind her and whispered in her ear, "I would like to continue this conversation later, if that's ok."
She sighed. "Why don't we just drop it?"
"Bones, we're having this conversation later whether you like it or not. We need to talk about these kinds of things. Okay?"
"Fine."
"Good."

"Jack, I uh, I have to tell you something." Angela stated, walking onto the forensic platform.
Cam and Hodgins were setting things up for the body they were about to receive.
"What is it Ange?"
"It's a private matter. Could we speak...alone?" she asked, giving Cam a look.
"Oh I'm sorry Angela, I thought this was a place of business." Cam said sarcastically.
"It is, but…this is very important Cam."
She sighed, defeated. "Fine. 5 minutes. Booth and Dr. Brennan are bringing us a body."
"Thanks Cam."
Angela grabbed Hodgins hand and dragged him into her office.
"Whats wrong Angela?"
"Okay, I have to tell you something. I'm not sure how you're going to react, I know you're going to be happy, but I'm still a little nervous and…."
"Angela. Slow down. Just, tell me. I promise you I won't get upset."
"Jack, I know your not going to get upset."
"Ok then, just tell me."
"I'm pregnant." she spit out.
As soon as Hodgins heard the 2 words he's wanted to hear for so long, a huge smile appeared upon his face.
"Really? Like, for real? It's not a false positive this time?"
"Nope. I am completely sure that it is for real."
"Angie!"
He picked her up and twirled her around in the air as she laughed. He placed her back on the ground and quickly pressed his lips to hers.
"I love you so much Angela. Why were you scared of how I was going to react? You didn't think I was going to be happy?"
"No, of course I did. I just…it seems stupid now. I was just nervous about telling you, that's all."
"Well you shouldn't have been. This is the happiest day of my life."
They both smiled and shared another kiss.
"We better get back to the platform before Cam has a cow."
She laughed. "Yeah. We wouldn't want that."
They interwined their fingers and walked out onto the platform.

"Here's your stop Bones." Booth announced as they pulled up to the Jeffersonian.
"You're not coming in?" she asked, hurt.
"Nah, I have some paperwork to catch up on at my office. Call me when you find out anything about our body."
"Okay." she said, stepping out of the SUV.
"Oh, and Bones?"
"Yeah?" she asked, looking at him through the window.
"I'll be over at your place at 8 so we can talk. Okay?"
She sighed. She knew there was no way she was getting out of that.
"Sure."
"Alright, see you later. And remember to call me."
"Always do." she said, as his SUV sped away.
