Daisy sighed as she felt her little Lance move around again as she waited for the others to get to the forsenic platform. She ws so happy the first time that the baby kicked but now it was starting to become agitating. He as a very active little thing and because of her small frame, she felt the baby move very easily.
"Hello, Miss Wick." Brennan said, walking up on the platform with the others.
"Hello, Dr. Brennan." She said, putting a hand on her stomach as the baby gave her an especially hard kick.
"Have you assertaned anything about the victim." Brennan asked, snapping on her gloves.
"It appears that vitcim is a male, somewhere in his mid-thirties and-" Groan. "-caucasian."
"Is something wrong, Miss Wick?" Cam blinked at the flinching intern.
"I'm fine, it's just the baby." Daisy said, rubbing her stomach.
"He giving you a hard time?" Angela smiled simpathicly at the young woman.
"He's just kicking really hard this morning." Daisy groaned. "It's been driving me crazy. He moves all the time. It was cute at first but know it's getting annoying, I mean Lance can't even feel it yet!"
"You'll get used to it, sweetie." Angela laughed. "And don't worry, your like nineteen weeks along and you have been feeling the baby kick for three weeks, Sweets will be able to feel the baby kick soon."
"You think so?" Daisy bit her lip.
"I do."
"Can we focus on the decomposing skeleton?" Cam asked in her 'I'm the boss so do what I say' voice and smile.
"In a minute." Angela waved a hand at her, brushing off the idea and making Hodgins laugh. "So... how are things with Sweets? Every thing... going okay?"
"It's been fine. We are happy but... well he has been... He's been a little... just a bit-"
"DAISY!" Sweets hollered, fumbling towards the platforms, arms full of things.
"Overbearing." She groaned.
"Daisy!" Sweets said, tumbling up the platform, making the alarms go off before Cam stopped them.
"What are you doing here?" Daisy asked, crossing her arms.
"You left in such a rush this morning-"
"Because I slept in."
"-That you forgot to eat breakfast and take your prenatal vitamins. So, here." Sweets said, putting the vitiman in her mouth and pressing a water bottle to her lips. "Swallow it." He smiled and she did so. "Eat it." Sweets said, peeling a banana up to her face.
"Baby, I'll be fine-"
"Eat it." Sweets repeated. "You're body needs fuel to grow the baby! And at least 300 exta calories a day!"
"I told you to stop reading my pregnancy books."
"Well then don't leave them out on the coffee table if you don't want me reading them." Sweets sighed before giving her puppy dog eyes. "Please eat the banana." She sighed and took a bite out of the banana.
The team watched on as Sweets fed the banana to the intern before kissing her goodbye and running off to work. After awhile, she went to go clean the bone room.
"You have to talk to Sweets." Angela said to her husband.
"What? Why?" Hodgins blinked.
"Because he looming over her and she snaps and kills him Brennan won't have a babysitter." Angela pointed at the door. "He won't listen to me or Brennan so you have to tell him to stop being stupid."
"We really need to get Booth back so I don't have to do things like this!" Hodgins groaned, stomping off.

"Hey, Sweets!" Hodgins said, barging in to Sweets office. Sweets blinked at him.
"Hey, I am actually working-" Sweets said, pionting at the file in his hands.
"No time." Hodgins said, waving a hand. "We gotta talk about Daisy."
"Isn't she great? She has been awesome, a few days ago she made pancakes for breakfast! She's going to be a great mom." Sweets grinned.
"Yeah, yeah, thats great but that's not what I want to talk about." Hodgins sighed. "Look... We all couldn't help but notice that you have been a little... overprotective with Daisy."
"I just want to make sure that her and the baby are okay? Is this a crime?" Sweets said, crossing his arms and leaning back in his chair. Both Angela and Brennan had tried before him.
"No, look... I gotta say, I agree with you. You should do anything you can but, you gotta go about it different." Hodgins said, sitting down on Sweets' couch.
"I beg your pardon?" Sweets asked, leaning forward now.
"Look, when women get pregnant... this thing happens. They get very... Well, they want to try to do things on their own. It's some sort of indepence thing, I don't know. Don't hover, don't do anything anything unless she asks you, she REALLY needs it, or it's really cute and sweet. So let me make this clear... stop hovering over Daisy like she is a dead animal and your a vulture or she's going to kill you in your sleep." Hodgin's nodded.
"Don't you think you might be exaggerating a little?"
"No." Hodgin said before sighing. "Look, just try to back off a bit with the overprotecting. It drove Angela crazy when I did it, it drove Dr. B crazy when Booth did it. We just want to help you out. Learn from our mistakes, dude. Reap my wisdom!"
"I guess you have a point but... what if something happens? I'm lucky she didn't get sick when I had the stomach flu! What if something happens?"
"Ohhh... I see what's going on here. You have the baby jitters, thats all." Hodgins laughed.
"The what now?"
"Baby nervious about having a baby and its manifesting itself into overprotectiveness."
"What? I'm not nervious about the baby. I'm really excited, I love the baby!"
"I'm sure you do, I was to when I found out Angela was pregnant, but that doesn't mean you can't be nervious. It's reasonable to be nervious, you got your ex pregnant pregnant during a onenight stand, I mean what are the odds? Seriously?" Hodgins laughed. "You just gotta calm down, have a talk with Daisy. I gotta get back to work."
"What? Wait-" Sweets floundered but Hodgins had already left.
Was that it? He had never been the type to be overprotective, but he had been strangely protective over Daisy. He knew he was a little nervious, that was normal, but was that why he had been so protective. He had never really thought of it from all the excitement from the baby. Hodgins was right, he needed to talk to Daisy.
##################################################################################
Daisy sighed as she walked into the aparment. It had been a long day, the case that had came in was a real head tilter and she had missed cause of death and it was really obvious when she thought about it. She looked to the couch and saw Sweets sitting there. He had his 'I wanna talk to you' eyes one.
"Hey, baby, is something wrong? You have your talking face on." She smiled at him, going and sitting next to him.
"Uh, yeah, I wanna talk. I'm sure you've noticed that I've been a little... protective."
"Protective? Lance-a-lot, you won't let me do the laundry because you don't want me breathing in fumes from the liquid detergant."
"I know, and I still stand by that, but... today Hodgins came to talk to me..." Sweets sucked in a breath. "With all the excitement from the baby, it was all so sudden, I think I got a little too excited that I never really adressed how nervious I am. I mean, my early childhood was... not great. I mean, what if I'm not parenting material? I love you and the baby but, what if I do something wrong?"
"Oh... Baby, no... You're going to do an amazing job as a daddy. Oh, Angela was right!" Daisy shook her head.
"Angela said what now?"
"Today before I left Angela came and told me that you were probably just nervious about the baby and that you stop with the looming soon."
"Hodgins totally told on me to his wife." Sweets groaned, bowing his head. "But... She was right. Or atleast, I'm going to try to stop looming."
"Okay... But, you know you can loom... a little." Daisy smiled at him. "Just not all of the time. Plus, I'd like to start washing my own underwear again."
"I guess... I could deal with that." Sweets smiled, tilting his head at her.
"And don't worry, baby, you're going to be a great dad. I can tell everytime you play with Christine or Michael Vincent! You are great with them, they love you so much. Your parents raised you well. Nurture over nature." Daisy smiled and hugged him and he hugged her back, pulling her closer. Suddenly, he felt something in her stomach move and push against his stomach.
"Woah, what was that?" Sweets blinked, pulling away and blinking down at her belly "Was that the baby?"
"Yeah, he is kicking hard today." Daisy smiled before widening her eyes. "Wait, you felt that?"
"Yeah..." Sweets said before putting a hand on Daisy's belly and feeling his son kick into his foot. "Oh my God..."
"Your crying..." Daisy smiled, tilting her head at him.
"I'm sorry..." Sweets said, rubbing away at the tears that he hadn't known had fallen. "It's just... so amazing."
"I know it is, Lance." She smiled and kissed his cheek. "I think that's the baby's way of saying he wants to hear some paino."
"Okay... lets do it."
