*To be honest...I hadn't exactly planned on adding another chapter to this story...because when I had originally written and posted this story on ...I had believed that it would just be a one-shot and nothing else. Then suddenly months after I had posted the story...out of the blue I got an idea of how I can write Brennan telling Angela that she was pregnant with Christine into this story...because let's be honest that was also a scene the producers convienently left out. So, anyway I give you chapter number two of "5 Words". Enjoy!*
*Disclaimer: Also, I don't own Bones.*
Chapter 2: Minutes Earlier
Brennan nervously approached Angela, whom was relaxing in her hospital bed, moments upon giving birth to Michael Vincent Staccato Hodgins.
She was nervous upon every step she took, her mind pondering how she was going to tell her best friend what she had recently found out that morning.
That she, Doctor Temperance Brennan of the Jeffersonian and well respected novelist was pregnant with Special Agent Booth's baby. Angela already knew that she and Booth were now together, in fact she was the only one who knew about them. Booth and her weren't exactly ready to tell the others just yet.
Yet she wondered how Angela was going to react to this news. Part of her, felt like she could be raining on Angela's parade with that type of news. Then again, it would be majorly unfair towards Angela if she wasn't told first since Angela told her first about her baby before telling Hodgins.
'It's now or never...I have to tell her...that way I will have some type of courage for when I tell Booth later.' Brennan thought, as she finally approached Angela with the stuffed animal that her and Booth had gotten for the baby in her arms.
"Hey." Brennan said, very softly.
"Hey." Angela answered back.
"Booth and I got something for the baby." Brennan stated, giving the stuffed animal to Angela. Who takes it.
"Aww...that is so sweet. Thank you." Angela replied, hugging the animal to her body.
"Your welcome. So what was it like?" Brennan asked, while simultaneously thinking 'So I'll know what to look forward to in eight months'
" It was wonderful...like a dream." Angela stated, smiling.
Brennan takes a deep breath before saying the words that she without a doubt was nervous about saying to anyone.
"Well...Ange...I have some shocking news I just found out this morning...but I don't know how to tell Booth." Brennan stated, mentally preparing herself.
"Why? What's wrong?" Angela asked, confusion etched on her face.
"Remember that night I told you Booth and I first made love...the night that we lost Vincent Nigel-Murray?" Brennan asked.
"Yes...again...what is wrong?" Angela asked, again confused.
"Well...this morning I...um...I found out I am pregnant...and Booth's the father." Brennan announced in a rush.
Brennan quickly watched as Angela's face went from confusion to glee.
"OH MY GOD SWEETIE!!! I am so beyond happy for you. Does Booth know...have you told him yet?" Angela asked, hugging Brennan.
"No...and that is the problem." Brennan stated, grabbing a nearby chair to sit in.
"Why would something like be a problem? You, my friend, always wanted a baby, mainly Booth's baby. Hell, two years ago, Booth was even willing to donate his sperm, just so you could have a child. His child." Angela stated, very confused.
"I know Ange...it's just...Booth and I have now just started sleeping together...and getting pregnant just made things a lot faster than they should be...and well I am mainly worried about how Booth's going to react." Brennan explained, with a worried look on her face.
"Look...I understand completely what you are going through...when I found out that I was expecting...I had more or less the exact same thoughts. But you helped me get over the worries I had and that was what helped me tell Hodgins. Booth loves you no matter what...I think he will love you even more when you tell him about the baby. Besides...Booth ADORES kids..." Angela stated, placing a comforting hand over Brennan's.
"Okay." Brennan responded.
"Also...do you even remember him using a condom that night...or were you two in such a heat of the moment that protection slipped your minds?" Angela asked, out of curiosity.
"A little of both. To be honest, I thought that I was on the pill, but didn't realize that I had forgotten to take the pill that day until I realized I was late. After a few days...I started noticing the signs of pregnancy and decided to get a blood test done. I got the results this morning." Brennan explained.
"Wait...so you spent your day undercover in a bowling alley case...and Booth didn't know that you were secretly pregnant with his child?" Angela asked.
"Yes. This brings us to the "how do I tell him I am pregnant with his kid" question." Brennan stated.
"Okay...Bren...don't stress...stress isn't good for you or the baby...especially at this stage of the pregnancy. Most important, be the courageous woman that he fell in love with long ago and go tell him right now." Angela stated, gently shooing her to the door.
"Okay." Brennan replied with confidence.
Just then there is a knock on the door, it is Booth, whom is ready to leave.
"Yes?" Angela asked.
"It's Booth...I am just wondering if Bones is ready to go home? Cam and the others are heading home right now."
"I am ready Booth." Brennan replied.
"Bye sweetie, remember what I told you."
Brennan walks towards the door and opens it to reveal Booth standing in the door way, she looks back at Angela one last time before walking away with Booth.
"Take care, Ange."
"You too."
*Like I said, I hadn't intended on creating another chapter for the story, it just came alive on it's own. I will be updating "Baby Steps" before Christmas day if I am able to...I will also be posting a Christmas themed story on Christmas Eve that was written about 4 years ago..."Holding My Precious Baby Girl" might possibly be getting a new chapter soon...depending on how I plan it out. Please read and review. Reviews mean so much to me.*
