Daisy was carefully looking over the remains as Dr. Brennan entered the platform.
"Hello, Miss Wick." She greeted as she walked up the remians.
"Hello, Dr. Brennan." Daisy greeted back. "Lance wanted me to let you know that we are taking Christine to a movie this afternoon."
"Thank you, I'm sure she'll enjoy it. What's the cause of death?"
"It appears that he died of a heart attack while he was hiking up the mountian. It was a remote area so he could have been left there for weeks without anyone seeing him." Daisy said. "Doctor Saroyan is examining his heart and lungs."
"So an accidient?" She asked, pulling on her gloves.
"Probably." Daisy nodded. "But I'm looking for any signs of foul play to be safe."
"Very good. Through." Dr. Brennan, picking up a bone. "So, how are you feeling? This stage of the pregnancy can be hard."
"I'm fine, there have been a few little... things." Daisy blushed sheepishly and Brennan gave a knowing smile.
"The gas?"
"God, yes! It's so embarrassing! I lossing control of it and it's so embarrassing!" Daisy groaned, gesturing wildly with her arms.
"During pregnancy the digestion slows to absorb more nurtrients for the baby but this also produces more gasious byproduct and since you are in your second trimester you organs are moving and becoming more compacted to make room for the baby. It can make controling the gas very difficult." Brennan nodded. "I know it was for me."
"It was?" Daisy asked hopefully.
"Yes, and it was embarrassing for me as well."
"How did... Agent Booth handle it?" Daisy asked, biting her lip.
"You are worried how Sweets is going to react, aren't you?" Brennan asked and Daisy nodded. "I'm confused, you two dated for years, haven't you passed gas infront of each other before now?"
"No- well not while we were awake." Daisy blushed again. "My Lance always acted like a perfect gentleman towards me so I always acted like a lady, so..."
"I see..." Brennan smiled and nodded again. "To answer your question, Booth handled it like a child. We were in bed, he had his arms around me from behind in a position that most call spooning when I passed gas. He laughed at me and kissed my cheek. I was very embarrassed, despite the fact that it's a natural bodily function, but the fact that he wasn't discusted and that he didn't particularly care about it made me feel better."
"How do you think Lance will handle it?"
"I'm not sure. But Sweets is a very kind and understanding man so I don't think you have anything to worry about."
"Thank you, Dr. Brennan." Daisy smiled. "I'm just so worried with the weight and gas... I feel like a bloated cow."
"It'll pass, don't worry Miss Wick, I'm sure that Sweets still finds you attractive. If it's bothering this much, you should speak with him about it."
"I suppose so." Daisy nodded.
"Now, have you found any signs of foul play?"

Sweets was torn between the two. Did he want blueberry or chocolate chip muffins? He could only get on more pack of muffin mix for the three of four dollar deal on muffin mix. Daisy and him were going grocery shopping today, one of the first time they had done so together, like a couple. Sweets could swear something was bothering Daisy for the last week, but he wasn't sure what. He figured it had something to do with the pregnancy, but he didn't pry. She was getting more and more tense around him. Brennan had told him that he should be prepared for certian things, gas and cravings but Daisy had been very tame about both of those things. He had to wonder if she was worried that he would, or does, find her unattractive because of the side effect of the pregnancy, but again he didn't pry. Daisy would tell him when she was good and ready.
A loud raspberry like sound blew through the aisle and Sweets was almost immediantly hit by a horrible smell. He looked around for the culprit but saw that everyone else in the aisle was glaring in Daisy and his general direction. He looked at Daisy and knew what had happened. Daisy's face was turning red, she looked embarrassed, and she wouldn't look him in the eye. He sprang into action.
"Excuse me!" He gave the other people in the aisle his best sheepish look and an apolegetic wave. Most of the women wrinkled there noses at him and one to the men gave him a thumbs up when his wife wasn't looking. Daisy looked up at him with surprised eyes. Sweets gave her a subtle look that told her to play along.
"Baby, gross!" She scolded, swatting his shoulder. "Your so embarrassing."
"Sorry." He smiled, shrugging a shoulder. "Couldn't help it."
"Can't bring you anywhere." She was trying very hard not to smile. Sweets put the chocolate chip mix into the basket and they fled the aisle. Daisy whispered a soft thank you to him as they turned the corner.

"So... you want to talk about what happened in the store?" Sweets chuckled as they walked into the apartment, bags in hand.
"I'm sorry about that." Daisy said, dropping the bags and trying to make an escape into the bedroom.
"Woah, Daisy, slow down!" Sweets grabbed her arm. "It's okay! Is this what's been bothering you?"
"I just... I wanted to be a lady for you... You have always been such a gentleman to me. It's embarrassing and with the weight gain... I was just..." Daisy bit her lip and Sweets smiled and grabbed both of her shoulders and looked in her eyes.
"Daisy, you're over four months pregnant. I don't care if you cut the cheese, or burp, or how much you wiegh." Sweets laughed. "Your having a baby, it's going to happen. Did you really think you were going to go on forever without either of us passing gas?"
"Maybe."
"Daisy, no." He laughed, kissing her forehead. "It's natural, Daisy, your pregnant. Even if you weren't, it would still be fine. You are always beautiful to me."
"Really?" She asked, looking up at him with big eyes.
"Yes." He smiled at her and kissed her lightly on the lips.
"Even with the weight gain? My ass is getting huge." Daiy pouted angerily at the floor and Sweets laughed again.
"More to love?" He grinned and she glared at him playfully.
"Shut up." She said, but he kissed her again.
"Now come on, lets get this food up." He said, turning to pick up the food.
"Baby, can I have a peanut butter and jelly bagel for dinner?" Daisy asked, picking up a can of soup.
"Seriously?" Sweets wrinkled his nose at her.
"I know, pregnancy is so wierd!"
"Okay then, peanut butter and jelly begal it is."
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
So, I wanted to do a chapter dealing with Sweets and Daisy and relationship things involving the pregnancy, or more so things that the pregnancy would cause. I wanted to make it humorous with it being too childish... and I failed at that miserably. I'm very sorry XD
The lack of reviews is very disapionting, I guess Sweets time in the read and review spotlight is over after only a week. Sigh. I was hoping for longer then that, but what did I expect, right? By the end of October Sweets will be but a distant memory for most except for people like me. SIGH.
Review, my duckies, they make me smile! :D
