Booth paced in the small room as Brennan waited on the exam table. He stopped and drummed his fingers on the counter. "What's taking so long?" He was clearly agitated.
Brennan gave him a serene smile. "Perhaps it's a good thing you didn't come with me last time I had an appointment like this. You would've made me quite nervous."
Booth gave his wife a sheepish grin. "You know I don't like to wait. I'm just excited that I get to be here for the ultrasound."
"Does our child's gender make any difference to you?"
"Of course not. But it's a great feeling…. like finally getting in on a big secret."
The technician came in and began the procedure. "Dr. Tran wants me to check the size of the fetus so we can estimate your due date. She thinks you might be further along than you suspect. If I can find the gender of the child, do you want to know?"
Brennan nodded. "Yes. However, I don't think I'm far enough into the pregnancy for you to do so."
The sonographer gave them a knowing smile as she scanned Brennan's abdomen. "Here's the heartbeat…."
Booth interrupted. "The baby's sucking his thumb!"
The technician moved the scanner. "Come on, baby...cooperate….Well, he's definitely not shy. It looks like a boy…"
Brennan smiled indulgently at Booth as he expressed his delight, shaking the technician's hand. She pointed at the monitor. "It appears that our son is as proud of his penis as you are of yours, Booth. Look how he's facing us."
"BONES!" Booth glared at her, blushing furiously.
The sonographer laughed. "I'll send these images to Dr. Tran. Congratulations."
They sat in the room a few minutes, just smiling at each other. "We have a son, Booth."
He kissed her. "We have a son, Bones."
