Once again, thank you to everyone who reviewed last chapter. The amount of suggestions I got was overwhelming! I think I made my decisions, so be sure to check them out at the end of this chapter :D Enjoy!
Booth and Brennan lay in bed, as one question kept running through Booth's mind.
"Bones?" he asked, not knowing whether she was still awake or not.
"Hmm?" she mumbled.
"You awake?"
"Yea, yea." she whispered.
"I have a question."
"Hmm?" she mumbled once again.
"I've gone to all your doctors appointments. How could I have not known we were having twins?"
That question awoke her. She sighed and rolled over, facing him.
"Last week, I started suspecting I was having twins. I was exhausted all the time for no reason, I had excessive morning sickness, sometimes I could feel two babies moving at one time, and I have excessive weight gain. I'm almost as big as Angela and she's 3 more months pregnant than I am. So I went to Dr. Anderson to confirm, and she told me I was indeed having twins."
"Why didn't you tell me about your hunches? I would've loved to go with you and see it for myself."
Just then, she leaned over to the end table, pulling out a small piece of paper and handing it to him. He opened it up, and there he saw his babies. Still small, but yet….so big. He was to happy to notice the tears forming in his eyes.
"Booth, are you crying?"
"They're….ours. They're….beautiful."
"You cant tell from an ultrasound that they're beautiful. Though I have no doubt that with our bone structure, they're going to be very attracting children."
He laughed. "Yes, they will."
She smiled and rolled back over, trying to go back to sleep.
"Turn the light off when you're done. I'm going back to sleep."
He didn't answer, but turned the light off. He fell asleep that night with the picture of his unborn children in his hands.
Angela went to work the next day with two things on her mind. One, find out if Booth and Brennan are enaged, and two, find out if he knows he's going to be a father of 3, rather than 2. She went into Bren's office and saw her working diligently on something, like always.
"Congratulations sweetie!" she exclaimed, wobbling into her office.
"Congratulations for what Ang?"
"Don't be so coy sweetie. How'd he do it? Was it romantic? Did you say yes?"
"What are you talking about Angela? Say yes to what?"
"The marriage proposal sweetie. What else would I be talking about?"
"Marriage proposal? What..."
"Shit. He didn't ask you…did he?"
"Hey Bones, ready for lunch?" he asked, walking into her office having no clue of what just transpired.
"Angela, would you excuse Booth and I?"
Angela backed away and walked towards Booth.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I thought you asked." she apologize, and closed the door.
Booth knew exactly what she was talking about.
"Damnit Angela." he thought.
"You were going to propose?"
"Bones I…"
"Are you stupid? We can't get married! Marriages don't work out! I'm…I'm happy right now. I'm happy being your girlfriend, I'm happy being pregnant."
"Please Bones. Don't reject me again. Don't do what Rebecca did."
"I'm not going to break up with you Booth. I'm just…saying no to this."
"Bones I love you. I want to marry you. I want to have these kids with you. I want to build us a house. I want to settle down and grow old with you. I want to die when I'm 110 years old, in your arms."
"We can do that without being married Booth! Please just…don't do this."
"Bones. What is the big deal about marriage? It won't be any different than it is now. It will just be us legally together. You'll still have your last name. We'll still be us. But we'll wear rings to show people that we're together. We'll tell everyone we're husband and wife instead of boyfriend and girlfriend. Just…do this one thing, for me." he pleaded.
"Booth." she whispered, with tears in her eyes.
"Please. Bones. Marry me." he spoke, pulling out the ring that had resided in his pocket for days now.
She started crying even harder.
"Please, this is all I've ever wanted. It won't change us. I promise."
"Say yes sweetie." Angela spoke.
They didn't even realize that Angela, Hodgins, Cam, Wendell, and Sweets were all standing at the door.
She sighed. "You promise it wont change us?"
"I promise."
She took a deep breath as she made her decision. "Aren't you supposed to get down on one knee or something?"
He laughed, as did everyone else.
"Right, sorry."
He got down on his right knee and took her hand, sliding the ring on her finger.
"Temperance Brennan, will you marry me?"
"Yes." she whispered.
He smiled a thousand watt smile and jumped up, kissing his fiancée with every bit of passion. Everyone whistled and clapped in joy.
"Bout damn time!" Hodgins yelled.
They stopped kissing and faced everyone, faces red of embarrassment. Angela wobbled over as fast as she could and gave her best friend the biggest hug two pregnant ladies could give.
"Congratulations sweetie."
"Thank you Angela."
"Let's go out and celebrate, huh?" Hodgins offered.
Everyone cheered and left the Jeffersonian to celebrate the irrevocable engagement of Seeley Booth and Temperance Brennan.
Happy? Booth finally manned up, but not on his own will. I could totally see Angela doing that so, I thought it was a good way to move things along.
Here's what you've all been waiting for, the final name decisions.
Girl: Emily Christine
Boy: Tyler Matthew
I'm still contemplating on whether their going to be Booth's or Brennan-Booths.
Let me know!
Thanks! :D
