Thanks for not cutting my throat out in the last chapter. I really thought there was going to be some controversy of that. Anyways, hope you enjoy this chapter! It's a rather entertaining one, I'll tell you that.

Also, thanks to NatesMama for helping me with all the aspects of this chapter. I really appreciate it!

1 week later

Booth stepped off the airplane at Dulles International Airport. 2 weeks of FBI agents and kiss asses' were just not his thing, but 2 weeks of not seeing his Bones was even worse. He went through the terminal and searched the area for the person who was supposed to be picking him up. With his eyes, he scanned every area he could find and couldn't find her anywhere. "Did she forget?" he thought.

"Hey Booth!" someone spoke from behind him.

It wasn't the voice he wanted to hear but he knew that voice. He turned around and there stood Max Keenan.

"Max? What are you doing here?"

"I came to visit Tempe. Russ, Amy, and the girls are here too. It's been so long since they've seen her."

"Where's Bones?"

"She asked me to come pick you up. She's at the diner with Russ."

Booth sighed. Now they had to tell her family about the two of them. Great.

"Let's go Booth! I'm not getting any younger!"

They were in the car and Booth had to admit he could finally see why Brennan hated being in the passenger seat.

"You okay Booth? You've barely spoken two words since I picked you up."

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just happy to be back."

"Happy to be seeing Bones." he thought.

"How was Afghanistan? I know it's been a while since you've been back but I haven't got the chance to ask you yet."

"Um, it was…you know. The same."

"That's all? It was the same?"

"I really don't want to talk about it."

"Fine, fine. I'll quit talking."

"No, I didn't mean quit talking all together I just meant….."

Before he could finish his sentence, his cell phone rang.

"Booth."

"Hello, Seeley Booth?"

"Yes? Who's this?"

"This is Dr. Anderson from American Gynecological and Obstetrical. I couldn't get a hold of Dr. Brennan and she listed you as the second person to call."

"Whats this about?" he asked curiously.

"Gynecological? Obstetrical? What the hell's going on?" he thought.

"Dr. Brennan came in a couple days ago for an appointment to verify she was pregnant. I wanted to schedule her for a follow up."

"Bones is pregnant?" he asked.

Max stopped the car. "What? Who is that Booth?"

Booth held up his hand, motioning for him to be quiet.

"Um, I don't know who Bones is." she said innoncently.

"Dr. Brennan. I mean…Dr. Brennan's pregnant?"

"Yes. Though I'm surprised she caught it so early. That's why I just wanted to do a routine follow up, just to make sure of everything."

Booth couldn't believe this. He knew it was going to happen soon, but not this soon, and while he was away.

"I'll uh…I'll talk to her and let you know. I'm not with her at the moment."

"Oh, I'm sorry sir."

"It's, it's fine. Thanks for the call."

"Your welcome. And congratulations!"

"Thanks." he said, and hung up.

"What the hell Booth? Tempe's pregnant?"

"Yes. I…I guess."

"What do you means you guess? Who was that on the phone?"

"That was her obstetrician wanting to schedule her for a follow up."

"Who's the father? I didn't even know she was with someone! And why did they call you?"

"She uh…she put me down as the second person to call. They couldn't get a hold of her. She must have her phone off."

Max put his head down. "How can she not tell me this?" hax asked.

"I know Max. She didn't tell me either."

"Who's she dating? Who could possibly be the father of this baby?"

Booth gulped. He had to be the one to tell him, alone.

"Me, Max. She's with me. I'm the father."

Max let out a breath and layed his head back. The car was silent for at least 20 seconds, before Max set up.

"Well okay then." he said, starting the car back up, as Booth realized they had pulled into a fast food parking lot, and pulled out.

Booth was confused as to Max's answer.

"Well okay then?" Booth asked.

"I'd rather it be you then some creep I don't know. I'm just upset you guys didn't tell me. How long has this been going on?"

"Almost 3 weeks."

"I see. And when did you uh…when did the baby thing happen?"

"Almost 3 weeks ago."

Max laughed. "I'm guessing the day you hooked up is the day you had sex. Right?"

"Yes." he mumbled.

Max sighed. "Okay. I guess this is the time to have a little talk."

"Great." Booth muttered.

"Booth. You're a good man. I've known that since day one. You have always been there for her, Russ, hell even me. I have wanted you to be the guy she ended up with for a while now. You're everything a father could ask for. I know your going to treat her good. I have no doubt about that. But if you hurt her, or the baby, so help me God, you will end up just like Kirby and everyone else I killed. Got it?"

"Yes sir. I won't ever hurt her. She is the most important thing in my life, and now this baby, our baby, will be too. I love her Max. I promise, she will be in good hands."

"I have no doubt about that. Thank you Booth. For everything."

"She made it easy. I would do anything for her."

Max smiled. "We're here." he announced.

"Wait, if Bones was spending time with you, Russ, Amy, and the girls, then why would she want me there unless…."

"Unless we knew you were together?" he asked, smiling mischeviously.

"You knew we were together and didn't tell me?"

Max laughed and nodded. "Thanks for being honest with me though. I wanted to see if you had the guts to tell me by yourself."

"Did you know about the pregnancy too?"

"Oh no, that was as just a shock to me as it was to you."

"You're one good liar Max. I'll give you that."

"Why do you think I got out of jail?"

Booth smiled.

"Now let's go see your girlfriend, shall we?"

Hope everyone enjoyed this chapter. I know I enjoyed writing it! If anyone has any ideas for baby names, baby gender, or anything about the baby, let me know. Thanks!
