Brennan stood looking in the full length mirror. She got close enough to examine the sclera of her eyes and the texture of her skin. She placed her hands on her hips and then on her abdomen as she looked facing the mirror, and then turned sideways to look at her profile.
Booth was leaning against the doorframe where she couldn't see him, watching with great amusement. After watching her for several minutes he finally said, "Bones, what are you doing?"
She was startled, and blushed when she realized he'd been watching her. "Booth! I didn't hear you come in."
"That's obvious. So, what are you doing?"
She sighed as she turned to face the mirror again. "I'm trying to decide if I look pregnant. I've noticed some changes already. What do you think?"
Booth, being a smart man, knew danger when he saw it. "I think you look as beautiful as ever, if not more so."
"You might not feel that way when I look like a dirigible. I've already noticed changes in my hips and breasts. Don't you think they look different?"
"When I think about your hips and breasts that's not what I'm thinking about. But you're early in the pregnancy. Why are you worried about this?"
"We'll need to decide when to announce the pregnancy. Maybe we should wait until it's more evident. What do you think?"
Booth grinned. "Right now I like having this little secret just between us. It's one of those 'what's ours is ours' kind of thing. Let's wait a few weeks and enjoy knowing something no one else does."
She smiled back at him. "I think I'll like that very much. It'll be fun seeing how our friends react when we finally surprise them. Let's wait a few more weeks."
