just a missing moment from the eye in the sky...

91. Brick

The realisation hit her like a ton of bricks.

He watched her eyes widen, the pen she'd been holding hitting the counter before she could catch it again, toast discarded in front of her.

"Bones, what's wrong?"

"I think I'm pregnant."

"— what? Where did that come from?"

"It all makes sense, Booth. I've been more tired than usual, vomiting, my periods— late."

"—I don't remember you having it the past two months—"

"Neither do I."

"How didn't we notice this, Bones, oh my god?! You're pregnant!"

"Not yet, don't say it yet. If the test is negative I don't want to get our hopes up."

"So, we want this?"

"I think— I think I want another baby, Booth."

"Well, hey, lets go take the test and take it from there, okay? D'you need me to go to the drugstore?"

"No, I— I have some tests in the bathroom cabinet."

He followed her down the hallway to their bedroom, pulling her into a hug before she stepped into the bathroom.

"Why'd you keep pregnancy tests in the house, Bones?"

She just laughed, reaching up to kiss him softly.

"I love you."

"I love you, too, Bones. Hey, listen, if the test is negative we can start trying as soon as you're ready, okay? And, if it's positive—"

"You'll have three children, all who were accidents."

He laughed, kissing her again, reaching around to pinch her ass, pulling away when she shrieked.

"I'm wounded, Bones."

"Why? It was a compliment to how extremely fertile you are." She winked, laughing as he groaned before she disappeared inside the bathroom leaving him smiling widely after her.
