Chapter 5
He waited until she was asleep before he went in the bathroom to take a shower. His plane was scheduled to leave at 9:00 the 下一个 morning and it was already 2:00 am. He removed the rest of his clothes in the bathroom and took a long cool shower. As he came back into the bedroom dressed he noticed that 识骨寻踪 was no longer in 床, 床上 but sitting in a chair looking out into the night. She had put on a 浴衣 and was now covered.
“Bones what’s wrong?”
She looked over at Booth. He could see that she was upset.
“Booth, about what happened”
“Bones, 你 are a beautiful woman but 你 and I have something special. We are partners and partners take care of each other.”
“Booth you’re right as always. It is so nice to have someone 你 can trust and who is always there for you.” As she 说 this, she had left the chair and came over to Booth. She put her arms around him and rested her head on his shoulders as she has done numerous times in the past. He could smell the fresh scent of her hair as he rested his head against hers. She turned her face to look at him their lips were almost touching. He wanted to 吻乐队（Kiss） her and take her, but he did not want to rush her because she does not like to be rushed. He was looking at her face when she said. “Booth you’re 更多 than a partner to me. When 你 were in that coma I thought my world had stopped, I did not know what to do to bring 你 back. I felt alone without you. I have been alone since I was fifteen and I don’t ever want to feel like that again.”
“Bones I promise never to leave you. I will do anything for 你 even kill, 你 know that.”
“Booth, I know that, but I feel so empty inside like something is missing. I want to feel what other people feel when they 爱情 someone and they are loved 由 someone.”
Booth looked at her and could not restrain himself any longer because she had to know that she is loved even if she does not 爱情 him. “Bones, 你 are smart, talented and beautiful and I have to tell 你 truthfully that I am hopelessly in 爱情 with you.”
“Booth, does being in 爱情 make 你 feel light headed and giddy? Do 你 feel that any moment apart is an eternity? When the person 你 爱情 enters a room does your 心 feel like it has skipped a beat?”
“Bones 你 don’t analyze 爱情 你 just feel it.”
“Booth, that’s how I feel about you.”
“So 你 爱情 me.”
“Yes, Booth, if loving someone means that your whole world is that person.” When she 说 this, his lips touched hers in a soft and lingering kiss. He could feel her body moving against his and his desire increasing for her.
“Bones are 你 sure as I don’t want us to rush into this.”
“Booth I am never surer about anything and I think we have waited long enough.”
He then kissed her 更多 firmly until her lips parted to accept his tongue. As his lips and tongue were exploring hers, she had moved her hands to undo his 带, 皮带 and unzip his fly. He had moved his hands to her shoulders and was removing the 浴衣 and letting it slip to the floor. She had now moved her exploring hands to the back of his waist and was pushing his trousers down over his buttocks. As his pants fell to the floor, he stepped out of them; he lifted her up and carried her to the bed. As he laid her down, his hands moved along her waist to her panties where his hands moved inside to increase her arousal. She in turn had now removed his 衬衫 and shorts. Her mouth was exploring his bare chest while her hands moved to bring him to full peak. 由 now both of them were fully naked and their bodies were a gleam of perspiration. At this point there was no going back, as he penetrated deep inside 识骨寻踪 emitted a low moan. Within moments they were in synchronization of movement ultimately to arrive at the crescendo together.
As they lay together exhausted, 识骨寻踪 whispered. “Booth”
“Yes, Bones.”
“I was completely irrational.”
“What do 你 mean?” He sat up and turned to look at her thinking she is now regretting this and not really in 爱情 with him.
“I was afraid to admit that I loved 你 because I did not know 你 loved me, but I should have told 你 anyway.” She then reached up and pulled his face to hers and kissed him in a way that let him know she loved him in no uncertain terms.
It did not take long before they were both intertwined with each other. At 6:00 am the phone rang to give them a wake up call but as they had never gone to sleep it was 更多 of a reminder that they both needed to be someplace else, but that did not stop them from holding on to each other for another ten minutes.
“Booth 你 need to get to the airport and I need to get ready for the 电视 interview.”
“Bones, do 你 want me to stay and go to the interview with you?”
“No Booth that’s OK. I’ll see 你 tonight, my flight is supposed to be in DC at 5:00 pm and I should get 首页 由 six.”
“I’ll pick up some Thai 食物 and be there 由 seven.”
“Booth, don’t be late for your flight and I’ll see 你 tonight.” She watched him as he got dressed and just before he left he kissed her goodbye. She then went into the bathroom and got ready for her interview.
Later on the flight back to DC she was thinking how nice it would be to see Booth tonight. She got 首页 a little after six and quickly showered again and changed into something 更多 casual.
Booth arrived a few 分钟 before seven with the 食物 as promised. She got two beers out of the refrigerator and they quietly ate dinner. After 晚餐 Booth asked how her interview went because he remembered her first interviews were not that great.
“Booth it was very good, I even made the audience laugh. Why I don’t know. But she did ask some odd questions.”
“Like what?”
“She asked something about a boy 或者 a girl, which I did not understand.”
“When is the interview scheduled to be shown?”
“According to them, it will be aired in ten weeks just before my book is released. They taped it in advance because I happened to be in Chicago this weekend.”
“Well 识骨寻踪 it’s getting late and 你 must be tired.”
“You’re right Booth; it has been a long weekend. We need to get some sleep; we can clean up the 厨房 in the morning.”
Booth looked at her for a moment, not quite understanding what she meant as she walked to the bedroom.
“Booth aren’t 你 coming to bed?”
“Yes Bones” As he put the dishes in the sink. He then fully understood that he was staying the night.
Over the weeks they would sleep always together even when Booth had Parker. Parker was glad that 识骨寻踪 was his daddy’s girlfriend because now he has his own room at her apartment and a pool. If the one had to work late, the other would wait up. Eventually they each had half their clothes in each others apartment.
About the fifth week, Angela asked Brennan if there was something going on with her.
Brennan asked. “Why?”
“You look positively radiant. Are 你 seeing someone?”
Brennan could not lie to her best friend, so she said. “Yes.”
“Brennan what about Booth, does he know.”
“Yes he does.”
“I always thought the two of 你 would get together. Do 你 know if he is seeing anyone?”
“He is seeing someone.”
”Oh, is it serious for you?”
“Yes I think it is.”
Before Angela could ask any 更多 questions, Brennan went to her office. Angela went to go tell Cam.
“Cam, Brennan is seeing someone and so is Booth. Do 你 know anything about it?”
“No Angela this is the first I heard, I thought Booth was in 爱情 with Dr. Brennan and now he is seeing someone and she’s OK with it?”
Angela just shrugged her shoulders and left the room.
Cam knew that Booth is usually very discreet about whom he is seeing so there is no point in asking him but if Dr. Brennan is OK with it she is not going to poke her nose around.
Later that night as 识骨寻踪 and Booth were lying in bed. She told him about what Angela asked and what she said.
“Bones, do 你 think she suspects?”
“I don’t think so; she looked disappointed for some reason.”
“Never mind, we just have to be careful. We don’t want Sweets to find out. If Angela and Cam find out, they can keep a secret, but we don’t want them to say anything and someone over hears.”
“You’re right.” 识骨寻踪 then turned out her light and Booth wrapped his arms around her. As they settled into their 最喜爱的 sleeping positions, they quickly fell asleep.
Two days later there was a decaying corpse found near the Washington Monument and Brennan and Cam went to examine it. As they arrived at the scene, each of them went to exam the body. As Cam was pulling some of the clothes away to get a better look at the flesh left on the skin, Brennan was overcome 由 the smell. It took everything in her power not to throw up. Cam noticed Brennan’s discomfort and asked if she was alright.
“Sorry, it is just the smell that got to me.” I’ll be fine after the flesh is removed.
Cam thought it odd because Dr. Brennan was never bothered 由 the smells before. Maybe she is coming down with the flu.
The 下一个 morning after Booth had left for work. 识骨寻踪 was sick to her stomach and very light headed. When she finally got in the office, she needed to throw up again. Cam came in to check on her and asked whether she had the flu and needed to go home.
“No Cam, it’s alright. I’m just a little nauseated. It usually passes 由 noon.”
“How long has this been going on?”
“Oh, just for the last few days.”
Cam made note to watch her for the 下一个 couple of days.
Brennan managed to avoid answering anymore 问题 about her boyfriend for the 下一个 couple of weeks. Both she and Booth were keeping their relationship quiet.
They were both having coffee and Booth was having his usual slice of pie when Sweets joined them at their 表 to discuss some aspect of their 最近的 case.
As they were talking, Brennan reached over and took a bite of Booth’s pie. Sweets saw this but 说 nothing until she took a 秒 bite.
“I see Booth has finally convinced 你 to eat pie, Dr. Brennan.”
“No it is just that it that I wanted to try a bite to see how it tasted.” She answered as she took another bite.
“See Bones, I told 你 you’d like it.”
Booth ordered another slice of pie while he and Sweets discussed his 个人资料 on the latest case. As soon as the pie arrived, 识骨寻踪 devoured the whole slice of pie.
Booth looked at her in amazement and smiled. “Bones do 你 want another slice?”
识骨寻踪 could not answer at first because her mouth was full of pie but she did shake her head yes.
Sweets was smiling as she consumed the third slice. He then asked her about her new book.
“Dr. Brennan isn’t your new book coming out 下一个 week and isn’t your interview with Oprah on this week?”
“Yes my book is out 下一个 week but I don’t know the exact 日期 they will 显示 the interview.” She answered.
Sweets then excused himself as he had something to discuss with Cam. Cam had asked him to come to her office because she had something to talk to him about.
“What is it that 你 wanted?” Sweets 说 as he entered the office.
“Oh Dr. Sweets, have 你 noticed anything strained between Booth and Dr. Brennan?”
“No, they seem to be their usual selves. In fact today Booth finally got Dr. Brennan to eat pie. Why do 你 ask?”
“Well, Angela found out that Dr. Brennan is seeing someone and Booth knows about it. I am just concerned about their working relationship. 你 说 that Dr. Brennan ate pie? Was it just a bite?”
“No, she ate three slices.”
“That is not like her.” Cam 说 as she made another mental note. She called Angela into her office as soon as Sweets left.
“Angela I think there is something wrong with Dr. Brennan.”
“Why do 你 think that?”
“Well she has been vomiting from the smell of a dead body which is not like her and now Sweets is telling me she has eaten three slices of pie.”
“Brennan does not like pie. Another thing, have 你 noticed she seems to have a glow lately?”
“Angela, I am going to ask for some specimens because of some exam that needs to be done and I want 你 to help me with this.”
“What do 你 want me to do?”
“When I ask Dr. Brennan for hers 你 will tell her that 你 have already 给 me yours so that she does not suspect anything.”
The 下一个 morning, Cam approached Dr. Brennan and 说 she needed some samples for a test. Dr. Brennan started to ask about the test when Angela walked in and let her know she had already done hers. She then gave the samples to Cam with no further concern.
As Cam and Angela left the room, Angela asked “How long will this test take?”
“I should have the results 由 Monday.”
Friday night Sweets was sitting with 雏菊, 黛西 who had been taping Oprah all week looking for Dr. Brennan’s interview. They had finally reached the last 显示 of the week when they saw that this was where her interview was shown. They sat there and watched and after the interview, Sweets quickly called Cam and asked her had she seen Dr. Brennan’s interview. Cam 说 she had missed it.
“Well can we meet at the Jeffersonian tomorrow because there is going to be some repercussions about it and I think 你 should be prepared.”
The 下一个 morning Sweets was in Cam’s office 展示 her the tape. Cam sat there watching and after it was over she looked at Sweets. She asked him.
“Did I just hear right. Did she say she is having a baby?”
雏菊, 黛西 who was with Sweets chimed in saying in her squeal little voice. “Don’t 你 think that’s wonderful?”
Cam just looked at her. She then picked up the phone to call Angela and asked her to come in to see this tape.
Angela showed up with Hodgins and they both sat there and looked at the tape. Angela just had her mouth open and Hodgins had a grin on his face.
Cam looked at everyone in the room and asked what they all thought.
Hodgins was the first to answer when he said. “I think we are all going to be aunts and uncles.”
Angela gave him a look and said. “You all know how Brennan talks she may not have meant she is really pregnant but is only planning on having a kid someday.”
Cam responded. “What about the other comment?”
Sweets finally said. “What we need is both Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth to see this tape and get an explanation. I suggest that I call them and ask them both to come over here tomorrow so that we can be prepared for any problems that may come up.”
Everyone agreed and as they all left the office, Angela hung back to ask Cam.
“Are 你 testing to see if she is pregnant?”
“Yes because if she is then she will have to let Booth know and that could put 更多 of a strain on their working relationship.”
That night Sweets called Booth and asked him to come into the office because he needed to alert him about a certain matter. He then called Dr. Brennan and asked her as well. What Sweets did not know is that they were both in Booth’s apartment relaxing after a long week. They looked at each other and discussed what could Sweets be concerned about.
“Booth 你 don’t think he knows about us, do you?”
“Bones, I don’t care if he does because I will always be with 你 no matter what happens.”
“Booth, have I told 你 I 爱情 你 today.” She 说 as she put her arms around his neck and kissed him seductively.
He wrapped his arms around her and lifted her up while they were still 接吻 and carried her to the bedroom.
The 下一个 morning they arrived at the Jeffersonian and went to Cam’s office where Sweets had asked them to meet him. Cam and Sweets were already there.
Shortly after they arrived, Angela and Hodgins joined the group.
Cam was the one who asked first. “Dr. Brennan have 你 seen your interview on Oprah?”
“No, I did not know when they were going to 显示 it. It was supposed to have been this week sometime.”
“Well there were some statements made and some 答案 that were a little unusual.” Sweets stated.
“Like what? I thought I answered the 问题 accurately, but it has been over ten weeks since the interview.” 识骨寻踪 responded.
“I think the best thing is to 显示 the interview so Dr. Brennan can hear the entire interview and what was shown on television.” Cam said.
They all took a 座位 around the screen to view the interview. 识骨寻踪 sat on the sofa 下一个 to Booth with everyone else either sitting on a chair 或者 just standing as the 显示 played.”
They watched as the 显示 opened and Oprah came out to say.
“My 下一个 guest is the leading forensic anthropologist in the country and a famous mystery writer. She has been involved in solving many unusual murder cases over the years along with her husband Special Agent Seeley Booth of the FBI, who she refers to as her partner. Please welcome Dr. Temperance Brennan.”
Applause as Brennan walks on stage and sits down 下一个 to Oprah, who begins the interview.
“I understand Dr. Brennan that 你 helped solve a fifteen 年 old murder in two days while visiting for your class reunion.”
“Yes I had come here to visit with one of my teachers and with the help of my partner, we figured out who the killer was.”
“Your partner being Agent Booth was here with 你 at your reunion?”
“Yes.” Long pause.
“You also have a new book coming out 下一个 week. This book was very intriguing and suspenseful. I have 给 a copy to every person in the audience today.” Applause
“I recommend everyone should go out a get a copy who likes a good murder mystery. Tell me Dr. Brennan do 你 have anything in the works right now.”
“I usually try to write only one book at a time.” There was another long pause before the 下一个 question.
“I recall one of your first interviews where 你 had 说 that 你 were never going to have any children, has that changed?”
“Yes I am going to have a baby.”
Applause
“Does your partner know?”
“Of course, he was there at conception.”
Laughter comes from the audience.
“Is it a boy 或者 a girl?”
“Yes.”
“Now, we know 你 why you’re a great mystery writer. Thank 你 very much for coming today and we need to break for a commercial.” After the commercial break Oprah said.
“I want to thank Dr. Brennan for letting us in on her 下一个 project, with her partner. She left us with a mystery to solve and I believe we should all ask the FBI to find out if it is a boy 或者 a girl. What do 你 think audience?”
Applause
Everyone looked at Brennan except Booth who just leaning back on the 长椅, 沙发 with his head back looking at the ceiling. He knew he should never leave 识骨寻踪 alone for an interview. It is the way she 答案 问题 directly that people get the wrong interpretations.
“What about the statement she made in the beginning that Booth is your husband?” Sweets asked. .
“It may have been because Booth and she were undercover as husband and wife at the reunion to catch a killer that is why Oprah got that idea.” Hodgins said.
“Then why did 你 not correct her when 你 came on stage?” Cam asked.
Brennan explained that she was just coming out of the waiting room to come on stage and did not hear the full introduction; she only heard her name being announced as she walked on stage.
“All right we can explain that but what about what 你 说 about going to have a baby?” Cam questioned.
“You all know that I have decided to have a baby someday. I was just saying that I am going future tense not actually having one. What was wrong with that?”
Booth explained to Bones. “It sounded to most people as if 你 were already having a baby and not just planning one in the future.”
“Oh.” Brennan uttered.
Angela asked. “What about the conception statement?”
Everyone was waiting for this answer even Booth.
“Sweets 你 remember I conceived the idea of a baby in your office and Booth was there. I don’t see what the problem is.”
Booth again explains to Bones. The audience thought she meant the other definition of conception.
“Is that why she asked me if it was a boy 或者 a girl?”
“Yes, Bones.” Booth answered.
“Is that why 你 说 yes to that question?” Angela asked.
“A baby can only be a boy 或者 a girl.” Brennan responded.
“Did 你 get to hear what was 说 after the commercial break? Because what if someone actually asks the FBI to find out if it is a boy 或者 a girl.” Hodgins said.
Brennan let them all know that while they cut the taping for the commercial break, Brennan had left the studio to catch her plane back to DC and did not hear what Oprah had 说 to the audience after the break.
“So 你 are not pregnant, Sweetie.” Angela sighed.
“Angela there is no way I could have been pregnant when I did that interview. 你 know that I have not had sex in quite some time before the reunion.” Brennan 说 in a matter of fact way.
“Then 你 have had sex since then.” Angela 说 looking at her closely.
“Well yes.”
“When was the last time 你 had sex?” Angela asked.
Booth interrupted 由 saying. “I don’t think we need to know the answer.”
“That’s all right Booth. I had very satisfying sex this morning, if 你 need to know.” 识骨寻踪 answered
Booth just rolled his head and thought we don’t need to go into details here.
Sweets saw Booth roll his head and asked. “Does it bother 你 that Dr. Brennan is having sex with someone?”
“No, not at all I’m happy she enjoyed it this morning.” Booth answered with a sly smile.
“I enjoyed it last night too Booth.” 识骨寻踪 added with a grin.
Cam noticed it first and she looked at Angela to see if she saw it too. Angela nodded at Cam and nudged Hodgins. Hodgins looked at Angela to see why she poked him and when Angela tilted her head toward Booth and Brennan he got the message.
“Well as long as there are no problems between 你 two. We all know that there was some confusion about the 问题 and 答案 that can be easily explained. So we’ll just leave it alone for now.” Sweets, had turned to leave the room and had missed all of the looks.
As Booth and Brennan got ready to leave the room, Cam said. “Hold it 你 two; 你 are not getting away that easily.”
“What is it Cam?” Booth asked.
“You know what it is, big guy.”
“Come on Sweetie, we figured it out. 你 are not going out with anyone other than Booth. And Booth 你 don’t have any other girlfriend other than Brennan. Admit it. Our lips are sealed.”
Booth and 识骨寻踪 looked at each other before they answered together. “You’re right, but don’t let Sweets know.”
“When did 你 finally realize that Booth was the one for you, Sweetie?”
“Angela it was on the last night of the reunion when he stayed to help me face those women.”
Hodgins gave Booth a slap on his back and said. “Congratulations, your secret is 安全 with me.”
“Dr. Brennan I have to confess that I did think 你 were pregnant and that is why I needed the specimen. I hope 你 understand.” Cam said.
“Sweetie I also thought so too. Especially when it looked like 你 had morning sickness and weird cravings for pie.” Angela added.
Brennan asked. “I’m sure the test showed negative. I do understand. 你 did it because 你 had concerns.”
“I haven’t looked at the results yet, they are on my desk.” Cam answered as she walked to her desk.
Cam looked at the test results; she showed it to Angela and Hodgins. Hodgins could not hold back when he uttered. “Agent Booth I don’t think your secret will be 安全 for long.”
Brennan quickly went to the 台, 办公桌 to look at the results and said. “This can’t be right.”
“Bones what does it show?”
“Booth it shows that I am knocked over.”
“Bones, that is knocked up and how did this happen?”
Everyone looked at Booth and did not say anything until Hodgins quipped. “Do I need to explain the birds and the bees to you?”
Angela was the first to ask the all important question. “Sweetie, the test could be wrong. When did 你 have your last cycle?”
Brennan thought for a moment and answered. “I remember exactly. It was two weeks before the class reunion.”
“That was over twelve weeks ago. I think 你 are a little late and the test is a lot correct.” Cam added.
She went on to say. “What we need now is a way to keep this quiet until the right time.”
Booth meanwhile had pulled Brennan close to him and was telling her how beautiful she looked and that she is going to make a great mother.
“Dr. Brennan I will get the vitamins 你 should be taking, Angela will keep an eye out for 你 because pretty soon, 你 will get hormonal as your body changes. Hodgins 你 will keep an ear out if anyone asks about her.” Cam 说 to them.
“What do 你 want me to do, Cam?” Booth asked.
“You’ve done enough already.” She retorted, but then she recanted and said. “Watch her in the field don’t let her over do it especially for the 下一个 couple of months.”
“Cam, do 你 think anything will result from that interview.” 识骨寻踪 asked.
“Let’s hope not.” Cam answered.
A few days later, Booth was watching 识骨寻踪 in the 淋浴 when he noticed that she no longer had a flat stomach but she now had a little bump. He could not help himself from putting his hand over it and giving her a gentle hug.
It was a little over three weeks later, when Booth was summoned to the conference room 由 Director Jenkins, the head of the FBI. In addition there was Caroline, the FBI lawyer, Sweets, Cam, Dr. Banbridge, head of the Jeffersonian, and Bones.
Director Jenkins started the meeting off with 由 saying. “It has come to the attention of this department that Agent Booth and his partner Dr. Brennan have been secretly married and are now expecting a child. It is the policy of this agency that partners cannot be married to each other. Agent Booth what do 你 have to say?”
“Dr. Brennan and I are not married.” Booth answered.
“It was announced on Oprah.” Director Jenkins shot back.
“It was incorrect information.” Sweets interjected and he then explained the misconception.
“Well if they are not really married perhaps someone could explain why we have received over thirty copies of marriage licenses 展示 their marriage. The agency has received the copies from small little towns all over New England and one was from Las Vegas, Nevada.” Director Jenkins stated.
“It sounds like these licenses are from people who want to take credit for the marriage and are all phony.” Caroline offered.
“I don’t believe one has to be married to prove one’s commitment.” 识骨寻踪 added.
“What about the other questions?” Director Jenkins asked.
Sweets went on to explain about how Dr. Brennan answered the other 问题 and how the 答案 were misunderstood.
“Do 你 two know how many emails and phone calls this agency has received in the past three weeks asking if it is a boy 或者 a girl? In addition, the mail department has been flooded with letters and baby gifts.
Dr. Banbridge and I have decided that we are going to 分裂, 拆分 up your partnership. Dr. Brennan 你 will be assigned a new partner and Agent Booth 你 will work alone for now.” Director Jenkins said.
“I will not work with any other FBI agent. I will only work with Booth.” 识骨寻踪 说 emphatically.
“Dr. Brennan, as head of the Jeffersonian, it is up to me when 你 are assigned to the FBI and Director Jenkins will decide who 你 will be assigned to. 你 have no choice in the matter.” Dr. Banbridge insisted.
“Then I will no longer work for the Jeffersonian. It is stated in my contract that if and when I decide I can terminate my association with the Jeffersonian. As 你 are aware I am far greater contribution to the prestige of the institution than 你 are.”
“Dr. Brennan are 你 threatening to quit?” Dr. Banbridge uttered
“No I am stating a fact.”
At that moment a clerk entered the room and informed Director Jenkins that he needed to see the latest copy of People magazine. He handed him a copy and placed additional copies on the 表 for the others to look at.
On the cover there was a mention of couples who work together for the public benefit with the names of Bill and Melinda Gates, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth listed. Inside the 文章 showed how each of the couples was benefiting the public. Bill and Melinda Gates with their foundation for scholarships, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt for their world causes and how Dr Brennan with her husband Agent Seeley Booth work together is solving unusual and bizarre murders not only in DC but around the country and abroad. The 文章 goes on to 显示 their pictures at a crime scene. It is also mentioned that it is admirable that the FBI allows them to work together as the unique team that they are.
Director Jenkins was the first to 评论 on the new problem. “Agent Booth whether the two of 你 are married 或者 not, it is the public opinion that 你 are, the problem is that agents who are partners are not allowed to be married to each other and this could be a potential problem in the bureau.”
“Hold it a minute, the regulation is that only agents working for the FBI cannot be married partners but Dr. Brennan officially works for the Jeffersonian and is only a consultant and not an agent. So we have a loophole 由 which these two can continue to work together married 或者 not.” Caroline interceded.
“Point taken, so that means Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth can still work together and we can try to forget this mess.” Dr. Banbridge 说 with a note of relief in his voice.
At that moment, 识骨寻踪 got out of her chair and removed her smock which had been covering the baby bump.
“Dr. Brennan, is that….are you…?” Sweets stammered. Caroline, Dr Banbridge and Director Jenkins just looked. Cam had a little grin.
“If 你 are asking if I have a roll in the stove then the answer is yes.”
Bones, it is a bun in the oven.” Booth corrected.
“Dr. Brennan so now 你 are pregnant but not when 你 were interviewed is that correct but 你 were pregnant when the interviewed aired?” Director Jenkins inquired.
“Yes.” 识骨寻踪 answered.
“So now the bureau is back to addressing the mystery of whether it’s a boy 或者 a girl.” Director Jenkins quipped.
“I have a question. Dr. Brennan we need to have the name of your baby’s father because everyone is going to presume that it is Agent Booth.” Sweets asked.
“Sweets I am the father and there is no 问题 about it.” Booth proclaimed.
“Back to the answer if it is a boy 或者 a girl.” Director Jenkins reiterated.
Cam explained. “It is too early to tell yet. The best answer right now is the one that Dr. Brennan gave in the interview which is yes to all those emails.”
“Well then when is the baby due?” Dr. Banbridge asked.
“I am due in five 更多 months and then we will know if it is a girl 或者 a boy.” Brennan announced.
Over the 下一个 three months, Brennan was enjoying the thought of motherhood. She and Booth worked on preparing the nursery and they finally settled into just one apartment.
Brennan was having her seven 月 exam when her doctor asked about doing an ultrasound. The doctor did not want to alarm Dr. Brennan but there was something funny about the baby’s heartbeat.
Booth was with 识骨寻踪 as the doctor was doing the ultrasound exam. The doctor asked about if they wanted to know if it is a boy 或者 a girl as she started the exam. As the doctor continued to view the screen, both Booth and 识骨寻踪 were anxious for the results. Finally the doctor turned to them and said. “Well we can’t tell the sex yet, because of the position of the babies.”
Booth was the first to react. “Babies, 你 mean there is 更多 than one?”
“Yes, it looks like twins.”
识骨寻踪 finally inquired. “Do they look all right?”
“The 婴儿 are both fine.” The doctor responded.
Over the 下一个 two months, as 识骨寻踪 was getting closer to her due 日期 everyone was keeping an eye open for the first signs of labor. Even at the FBI there was a betting pool going on as to when and whether it is two boys, two girls 或者 one of each.
As luck would have it, Brennan and Booth were interrogating a suspect when the first pain struck. 识骨寻踪 had grabbed Booth’s arm and was trying get through with the questioning but Booth would have none of that. He was 更多 concerned about the woman he loved and his unborn 婴儿 then the person in the room. He quickly took her out of the room, sat her on a chair in the hall until the contraction passed. He quickly handed the suspects file to Charlie, another agent, and 说 he needed to take Dr. Brennan to the hospital. As Booth left the building with Bones, Charlie let the man running the betting pool know and he also called Cam at the Jeffersonian.
Throughout the afternoon and night while 识骨寻踪 was in labor, Booth never leaves her side. Early the 下一个 morning 识骨寻踪 was delivered two healthy babies. She is taken to her room where she falls asleep exhausted. Booth finally has a chance to go 首页 and change quickly. He wants to be back at the hospital when 识骨寻踪 wakes up.
Booth was sitting in the hospital room watching 识骨寻踪 sleep when the nurse brings in the babies. The nurse gently wakes up Brennan and hands her the first baby. She then hands the 秒 one to Booth. At that moment, Cam, Angela, Hodgins and Sweets enter the room. They ask the most important 问题 of all. What are their names? Booth who is looking at the tiny little person in his arms looks up at Brennan and says. “Her name is Christine Brennan Booth after Bones’ mother.” And Brennan looking at Booth says “His name is going to be Henry Joseph Booth and Booth will call him Hank after his grandfather. To me he is going to be my little Angel.
He waited until she was asleep before he went in the bathroom to take a shower. His plane was scheduled to leave at 9:00 the 下一个 morning and it was already 2:00 am. He removed the rest of his clothes in the bathroom and took a long cool shower. As he came back into the bedroom dressed he noticed that 识骨寻踪 was no longer in 床, 床上 but sitting in a chair looking out into the night. She had put on a 浴衣 and was now covered.
“Bones what’s wrong?”
She looked over at Booth. He could see that she was upset.
“Booth, about what happened”
“Bones, 你 are a beautiful woman but 你 and I have something special. We are partners and partners take care of each other.”
“Booth you’re right as always. It is so nice to have someone 你 can trust and who is always there for you.” As she 说 this, she had left the chair and came over to Booth. She put her arms around him and rested her head on his shoulders as she has done numerous times in the past. He could smell the fresh scent of her hair as he rested his head against hers. She turned her face to look at him their lips were almost touching. He wanted to 吻乐队（Kiss） her and take her, but he did not want to rush her because she does not like to be rushed. He was looking at her face when she said. “Booth you’re 更多 than a partner to me. When 你 were in that coma I thought my world had stopped, I did not know what to do to bring 你 back. I felt alone without you. I have been alone since I was fifteen and I don’t ever want to feel like that again.”
“Bones I promise never to leave you. I will do anything for 你 even kill, 你 know that.”
“Booth, I know that, but I feel so empty inside like something is missing. I want to feel what other people feel when they 爱情 someone and they are loved 由 someone.”
Booth looked at her and could not restrain himself any longer because she had to know that she is loved even if she does not 爱情 him. “Bones, 你 are smart, talented and beautiful and I have to tell 你 truthfully that I am hopelessly in 爱情 with you.”
“Booth, does being in 爱情 make 你 feel light headed and giddy? Do 你 feel that any moment apart is an eternity? When the person 你 爱情 enters a room does your 心 feel like it has skipped a beat?”
“Bones 你 don’t analyze 爱情 你 just feel it.”
“Booth, that’s how I feel about you.”
“So 你 爱情 me.”
“Yes, Booth, if loving someone means that your whole world is that person.” When she 说 this, his lips touched hers in a soft and lingering kiss. He could feel her body moving against his and his desire increasing for her.
“Bones are 你 sure as I don’t want us to rush into this.”
“Booth I am never surer about anything and I think we have waited long enough.”
He then kissed her 更多 firmly until her lips parted to accept his tongue. As his lips and tongue were exploring hers, she had moved her hands to undo his 带, 皮带 and unzip his fly. He had moved his hands to her shoulders and was removing the 浴衣 and letting it slip to the floor. She had now moved her exploring hands to the back of his waist and was pushing his trousers down over his buttocks. As his pants fell to the floor, he stepped out of them; he lifted her up and carried her to the bed. As he laid her down, his hands moved along her waist to her panties where his hands moved inside to increase her arousal. She in turn had now removed his 衬衫 and shorts. Her mouth was exploring his bare chest while her hands moved to bring him to full peak. 由 now both of them were fully naked and their bodies were a gleam of perspiration. At this point there was no going back, as he penetrated deep inside 识骨寻踪 emitted a low moan. Within moments they were in synchronization of movement ultimately to arrive at the crescendo together.
As they lay together exhausted, 识骨寻踪 whispered. “Booth”
“Yes, Bones.”
“I was completely irrational.”
“What do 你 mean?” He sat up and turned to look at her thinking she is now regretting this and not really in 爱情 with him.
“I was afraid to admit that I loved 你 because I did not know 你 loved me, but I should have told 你 anyway.” She then reached up and pulled his face to hers and kissed him in a way that let him know she loved him in no uncertain terms.
It did not take long before they were both intertwined with each other. At 6:00 am the phone rang to give them a wake up call but as they had never gone to sleep it was 更多 of a reminder that they both needed to be someplace else, but that did not stop them from holding on to each other for another ten minutes.
“Booth 你 need to get to the airport and I need to get ready for the 电视 interview.”
“Bones, do 你 want me to stay and go to the interview with you?”
“No Booth that’s OK. I’ll see 你 tonight, my flight is supposed to be in DC at 5:00 pm and I should get 首页 由 six.”
“I’ll pick up some Thai 食物 and be there 由 seven.”
“Booth, don’t be late for your flight and I’ll see 你 tonight.” She watched him as he got dressed and just before he left he kissed her goodbye. She then went into the bathroom and got ready for her interview.
Later on the flight back to DC she was thinking how nice it would be to see Booth tonight. She got 首页 a little after six and quickly showered again and changed into something 更多 casual.
Booth arrived a few 分钟 before seven with the 食物 as promised. She got two beers out of the refrigerator and they quietly ate dinner. After 晚餐 Booth asked how her interview went because he remembered her first interviews were not that great.
“Booth it was very good, I even made the audience laugh. Why I don’t know. But she did ask some odd questions.”
“Like what?”
“She asked something about a boy 或者 a girl, which I did not understand.”
“When is the interview scheduled to be shown?”
“According to them, it will be aired in ten weeks just before my book is released. They taped it in advance because I happened to be in Chicago this weekend.”
“Well 识骨寻踪 it’s getting late and 你 must be tired.”
“You’re right Booth; it has been a long weekend. We need to get some sleep; we can clean up the 厨房 in the morning.”
Booth looked at her for a moment, not quite understanding what she meant as she walked to the bedroom.
“Booth aren’t 你 coming to bed?”
“Yes Bones” As he put the dishes in the sink. He then fully understood that he was staying the night.
Over the weeks they would sleep always together even when Booth had Parker. Parker was glad that 识骨寻踪 was his daddy’s girlfriend because now he has his own room at her apartment and a pool. If the one had to work late, the other would wait up. Eventually they each had half their clothes in each others apartment.
About the fifth week, Angela asked Brennan if there was something going on with her.
Brennan asked. “Why?”
“You look positively radiant. Are 你 seeing someone?”
Brennan could not lie to her best friend, so she said. “Yes.”
“Brennan what about Booth, does he know.”
“Yes he does.”
“I always thought the two of 你 would get together. Do 你 know if he is seeing anyone?”
“He is seeing someone.”
”Oh, is it serious for you?”
“Yes I think it is.”
Before Angela could ask any 更多 questions, Brennan went to her office. Angela went to go tell Cam.
“Cam, Brennan is seeing someone and so is Booth. Do 你 know anything about it?”
“No Angela this is the first I heard, I thought Booth was in 爱情 with Dr. Brennan and now he is seeing someone and she’s OK with it?”
Angela just shrugged her shoulders and left the room.
Cam knew that Booth is usually very discreet about whom he is seeing so there is no point in asking him but if Dr. Brennan is OK with it she is not going to poke her nose around.
Later that night as 识骨寻踪 and Booth were lying in bed. She told him about what Angela asked and what she said.
“Bones, do 你 think she suspects?”
“I don’t think so; she looked disappointed for some reason.”
“Never mind, we just have to be careful. We don’t want Sweets to find out. If Angela and Cam find out, they can keep a secret, but we don’t want them to say anything and someone over hears.”
“You’re right.” 识骨寻踪 then turned out her light and Booth wrapped his arms around her. As they settled into their 最喜爱的 sleeping positions, they quickly fell asleep.
Two days later there was a decaying corpse found near the Washington Monument and Brennan and Cam went to examine it. As they arrived at the scene, each of them went to exam the body. As Cam was pulling some of the clothes away to get a better look at the flesh left on the skin, Brennan was overcome 由 the smell. It took everything in her power not to throw up. Cam noticed Brennan’s discomfort and asked if she was alright.
“Sorry, it is just the smell that got to me.” I’ll be fine after the flesh is removed.
Cam thought it odd because Dr. Brennan was never bothered 由 the smells before. Maybe she is coming down with the flu.
The 下一个 morning after Booth had left for work. 识骨寻踪 was sick to her stomach and very light headed. When she finally got in the office, she needed to throw up again. Cam came in to check on her and asked whether she had the flu and needed to go home.
“No Cam, it’s alright. I’m just a little nauseated. It usually passes 由 noon.”
“How long has this been going on?”
“Oh, just for the last few days.”
Cam made note to watch her for the 下一个 couple of days.
Brennan managed to avoid answering anymore 问题 about her boyfriend for the 下一个 couple of weeks. Both she and Booth were keeping their relationship quiet.
They were both having coffee and Booth was having his usual slice of pie when Sweets joined them at their 表 to discuss some aspect of their 最近的 case.
As they were talking, Brennan reached over and took a bite of Booth’s pie. Sweets saw this but 说 nothing until she took a 秒 bite.
“I see Booth has finally convinced 你 to eat pie, Dr. Brennan.”
“No it is just that it that I wanted to try a bite to see how it tasted.” She answered as she took another bite.
“See Bones, I told 你 you’d like it.”
Booth ordered another slice of pie while he and Sweets discussed his 个人资料 on the latest case. As soon as the pie arrived, 识骨寻踪 devoured the whole slice of pie.
Booth looked at her in amazement and smiled. “Bones do 你 want another slice?”
识骨寻踪 could not answer at first because her mouth was full of pie but she did shake her head yes.
Sweets was smiling as she consumed the third slice. He then asked her about her new book.
“Dr. Brennan isn’t your new book coming out 下一个 week and isn’t your interview with Oprah on this week?”
“Yes my book is out 下一个 week but I don’t know the exact 日期 they will 显示 the interview.” She answered.
Sweets then excused himself as he had something to discuss with Cam. Cam had asked him to come to her office because she had something to talk to him about.
“What is it that 你 wanted?” Sweets 说 as he entered the office.
“Oh Dr. Sweets, have 你 noticed anything strained between Booth and Dr. Brennan?”
“No, they seem to be their usual selves. In fact today Booth finally got Dr. Brennan to eat pie. Why do 你 ask?”
“Well, Angela found out that Dr. Brennan is seeing someone and Booth knows about it. I am just concerned about their working relationship. 你 说 that Dr. Brennan ate pie? Was it just a bite?”
“No, she ate three slices.”
“That is not like her.” Cam 说 as she made another mental note. She called Angela into her office as soon as Sweets left.
“Angela I think there is something wrong with Dr. Brennan.”
“Why do 你 think that?”
“Well she has been vomiting from the smell of a dead body which is not like her and now Sweets is telling me she has eaten three slices of pie.”
“Brennan does not like pie. Another thing, have 你 noticed she seems to have a glow lately?”
“Angela, I am going to ask for some specimens because of some exam that needs to be done and I want 你 to help me with this.”
“What do 你 want me to do?”
“When I ask Dr. Brennan for hers 你 will tell her that 你 have already 给 me yours so that she does not suspect anything.”
The 下一个 morning, Cam approached Dr. Brennan and 说 she needed some samples for a test. Dr. Brennan started to ask about the test when Angela walked in and let her know she had already done hers. She then gave the samples to Cam with no further concern.
As Cam and Angela left the room, Angela asked “How long will this test take?”
“I should have the results 由 Monday.”
Friday night Sweets was sitting with 雏菊, 黛西 who had been taping Oprah all week looking for Dr. Brennan’s interview. They had finally reached the last 显示 of the week when they saw that this was where her interview was shown. They sat there and watched and after the interview, Sweets quickly called Cam and asked her had she seen Dr. Brennan’s interview. Cam 说 she had missed it.
“Well can we meet at the Jeffersonian tomorrow because there is going to be some repercussions about it and I think 你 should be prepared.”
The 下一个 morning Sweets was in Cam’s office 展示 her the tape. Cam sat there watching and after it was over she looked at Sweets. She asked him.
“Did I just hear right. Did she say she is having a baby?”
雏菊, 黛西 who was with Sweets chimed in saying in her squeal little voice. “Don’t 你 think that’s wonderful?”
Cam just looked at her. She then picked up the phone to call Angela and asked her to come in to see this tape.
Angela showed up with Hodgins and they both sat there and looked at the tape. Angela just had her mouth open and Hodgins had a grin on his face.
Cam looked at everyone in the room and asked what they all thought.
Hodgins was the first to answer when he said. “I think we are all going to be aunts and uncles.”
Angela gave him a look and said. “You all know how Brennan talks she may not have meant she is really pregnant but is only planning on having a kid someday.”
Cam responded. “What about the other comment?”
Sweets finally said. “What we need is both Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth to see this tape and get an explanation. I suggest that I call them and ask them both to come over here tomorrow so that we can be prepared for any problems that may come up.”
Everyone agreed and as they all left the office, Angela hung back to ask Cam.
“Are 你 testing to see if she is pregnant?”
“Yes because if she is then she will have to let Booth know and that could put 更多 of a strain on their working relationship.”
That night Sweets called Booth and asked him to come into the office because he needed to alert him about a certain matter. He then called Dr. Brennan and asked her as well. What Sweets did not know is that they were both in Booth’s apartment relaxing after a long week. They looked at each other and discussed what could Sweets be concerned about.
“Booth 你 don’t think he knows about us, do you?”
“Bones, I don’t care if he does because I will always be with 你 no matter what happens.”
“Booth, have I told 你 I 爱情 你 today.” She 说 as she put her arms around his neck and kissed him seductively.
He wrapped his arms around her and lifted her up while they were still 接吻 and carried her to the bedroom.
The 下一个 morning they arrived at the Jeffersonian and went to Cam’s office where Sweets had asked them to meet him. Cam and Sweets were already there.
Shortly after they arrived, Angela and Hodgins joined the group.
Cam was the one who asked first. “Dr. Brennan have 你 seen your interview on Oprah?”
“No, I did not know when they were going to 显示 it. It was supposed to have been this week sometime.”
“Well there were some statements made and some 答案 that were a little unusual.” Sweets stated.
“Like what? I thought I answered the 问题 accurately, but it has been over ten weeks since the interview.” 识骨寻踪 responded.
“I think the best thing is to 显示 the interview so Dr. Brennan can hear the entire interview and what was shown on television.” Cam said.
They all took a 座位 around the screen to view the interview. 识骨寻踪 sat on the sofa 下一个 to Booth with everyone else either sitting on a chair 或者 just standing as the 显示 played.”
They watched as the 显示 opened and Oprah came out to say.
“My 下一个 guest is the leading forensic anthropologist in the country and a famous mystery writer. She has been involved in solving many unusual murder cases over the years along with her husband Special Agent Seeley Booth of the FBI, who she refers to as her partner. Please welcome Dr. Temperance Brennan.”
Applause as Brennan walks on stage and sits down 下一个 to Oprah, who begins the interview.
“I understand Dr. Brennan that 你 helped solve a fifteen 年 old murder in two days while visiting for your class reunion.”
“Yes I had come here to visit with one of my teachers and with the help of my partner, we figured out who the killer was.”
“Your partner being Agent Booth was here with 你 at your reunion?”
“Yes.” Long pause.
“You also have a new book coming out 下一个 week. This book was very intriguing and suspenseful. I have 给 a copy to every person in the audience today.” Applause
“I recommend everyone should go out a get a copy who likes a good murder mystery. Tell me Dr. Brennan do 你 have anything in the works right now.”
“I usually try to write only one book at a time.” There was another long pause before the 下一个 question.
“I recall one of your first interviews where 你 had 说 that 你 were never going to have any children, has that changed?”
“Yes I am going to have a baby.”
Applause
“Does your partner know?”
“Of course, he was there at conception.”
Laughter comes from the audience.
“Is it a boy 或者 a girl?”
“Yes.”
“Now, we know 你 why you’re a great mystery writer. Thank 你 very much for coming today and we need to break for a commercial.” After the commercial break Oprah said.
“I want to thank Dr. Brennan for letting us in on her 下一个 project, with her partner. She left us with a mystery to solve and I believe we should all ask the FBI to find out if it is a boy 或者 a girl. What do 你 think audience?”
Applause
Everyone looked at Brennan except Booth who just leaning back on the 长椅, 沙发 with his head back looking at the ceiling. He knew he should never leave 识骨寻踪 alone for an interview. It is the way she 答案 问题 directly that people get the wrong interpretations.
“What about the statement she made in the beginning that Booth is your husband?” Sweets asked. .
“It may have been because Booth and she were undercover as husband and wife at the reunion to catch a killer that is why Oprah got that idea.” Hodgins said.
“Then why did 你 not correct her when 你 came on stage?” Cam asked.
Brennan explained that she was just coming out of the waiting room to come on stage and did not hear the full introduction; she only heard her name being announced as she walked on stage.
“All right we can explain that but what about what 你 说 about going to have a baby?” Cam questioned.
“You all know that I have decided to have a baby someday. I was just saying that I am going future tense not actually having one. What was wrong with that?”
Booth explained to Bones. “It sounded to most people as if 你 were already having a baby and not just planning one in the future.”
“Oh.” Brennan uttered.
Angela asked. “What about the conception statement?”
Everyone was waiting for this answer even Booth.
“Sweets 你 remember I conceived the idea of a baby in your office and Booth was there. I don’t see what the problem is.”
Booth again explains to Bones. The audience thought she meant the other definition of conception.
“Is that why she asked me if it was a boy 或者 a girl?”
“Yes, Bones.” Booth answered.
“Is that why 你 说 yes to that question?” Angela asked.
“A baby can only be a boy 或者 a girl.” Brennan responded.
“Did 你 get to hear what was 说 after the commercial break? Because what if someone actually asks the FBI to find out if it is a boy 或者 a girl.” Hodgins said.
Brennan let them all know that while they cut the taping for the commercial break, Brennan had left the studio to catch her plane back to DC and did not hear what Oprah had 说 to the audience after the break.
“So 你 are not pregnant, Sweetie.” Angela sighed.
“Angela there is no way I could have been pregnant when I did that interview. 你 know that I have not had sex in quite some time before the reunion.” Brennan 说 in a matter of fact way.
“Then 你 have had sex since then.” Angela 说 looking at her closely.
“Well yes.”
“When was the last time 你 had sex?” Angela asked.
Booth interrupted 由 saying. “I don’t think we need to know the answer.”
“That’s all right Booth. I had very satisfying sex this morning, if 你 need to know.” 识骨寻踪 answered
Booth just rolled his head and thought we don’t need to go into details here.
Sweets saw Booth roll his head and asked. “Does it bother 你 that Dr. Brennan is having sex with someone?”
“No, not at all I’m happy she enjoyed it this morning.” Booth answered with a sly smile.
“I enjoyed it last night too Booth.” 识骨寻踪 added with a grin.
Cam noticed it first and she looked at Angela to see if she saw it too. Angela nodded at Cam and nudged Hodgins. Hodgins looked at Angela to see why she poked him and when Angela tilted her head toward Booth and Brennan he got the message.
“Well as long as there are no problems between 你 two. We all know that there was some confusion about the 问题 and 答案 that can be easily explained. So we’ll just leave it alone for now.” Sweets, had turned to leave the room and had missed all of the looks.
As Booth and Brennan got ready to leave the room, Cam said. “Hold it 你 two; 你 are not getting away that easily.”
“What is it Cam?” Booth asked.
“You know what it is, big guy.”
“Come on Sweetie, we figured it out. 你 are not going out with anyone other than Booth. And Booth 你 don’t have any other girlfriend other than Brennan. Admit it. Our lips are sealed.”
Booth and 识骨寻踪 looked at each other before they answered together. “You’re right, but don’t let Sweets know.”
“When did 你 finally realize that Booth was the one for you, Sweetie?”
“Angela it was on the last night of the reunion when he stayed to help me face those women.”
Hodgins gave Booth a slap on his back and said. “Congratulations, your secret is 安全 with me.”
“Dr. Brennan I have to confess that I did think 你 were pregnant and that is why I needed the specimen. I hope 你 understand.” Cam said.
“Sweetie I also thought so too. Especially when it looked like 你 had morning sickness and weird cravings for pie.” Angela added.
Brennan asked. “I’m sure the test showed negative. I do understand. 你 did it because 你 had concerns.”
“I haven’t looked at the results yet, they are on my desk.” Cam answered as she walked to her desk.
Cam looked at the test results; she showed it to Angela and Hodgins. Hodgins could not hold back when he uttered. “Agent Booth I don’t think your secret will be 安全 for long.”
Brennan quickly went to the 台, 办公桌 to look at the results and said. “This can’t be right.”
“Bones what does it show?”
“Booth it shows that I am knocked over.”
“Bones, that is knocked up and how did this happen?”
Everyone looked at Booth and did not say anything until Hodgins quipped. “Do I need to explain the birds and the bees to you?”
Angela was the first to ask the all important question. “Sweetie, the test could be wrong. When did 你 have your last cycle?”
Brennan thought for a moment and answered. “I remember exactly. It was two weeks before the class reunion.”
“That was over twelve weeks ago. I think 你 are a little late and the test is a lot correct.” Cam added.
She went on to say. “What we need now is a way to keep this quiet until the right time.”
Booth meanwhile had pulled Brennan close to him and was telling her how beautiful she looked and that she is going to make a great mother.
“Dr. Brennan I will get the vitamins 你 should be taking, Angela will keep an eye out for 你 because pretty soon, 你 will get hormonal as your body changes. Hodgins 你 will keep an ear out if anyone asks about her.” Cam 说 to them.
“What do 你 want me to do, Cam?” Booth asked.
“You’ve done enough already.” She retorted, but then she recanted and said. “Watch her in the field don’t let her over do it especially for the 下一个 couple of months.”
“Cam, do 你 think anything will result from that interview.” 识骨寻踪 asked.
“Let’s hope not.” Cam answered.
A few days later, Booth was watching 识骨寻踪 in the 淋浴 when he noticed that she no longer had a flat stomach but she now had a little bump. He could not help himself from putting his hand over it and giving her a gentle hug.
It was a little over three weeks later, when Booth was summoned to the conference room 由 Director Jenkins, the head of the FBI. In addition there was Caroline, the FBI lawyer, Sweets, Cam, Dr. Banbridge, head of the Jeffersonian, and Bones.
Director Jenkins started the meeting off with 由 saying. “It has come to the attention of this department that Agent Booth and his partner Dr. Brennan have been secretly married and are now expecting a child. It is the policy of this agency that partners cannot be married to each other. Agent Booth what do 你 have to say?”
“Dr. Brennan and I are not married.” Booth answered.
“It was announced on Oprah.” Director Jenkins shot back.
“It was incorrect information.” Sweets interjected and he then explained the misconception.
“Well if they are not really married perhaps someone could explain why we have received over thirty copies of marriage licenses 展示 their marriage. The agency has received the copies from small little towns all over New England and one was from Las Vegas, Nevada.” Director Jenkins stated.
“It sounds like these licenses are from people who want to take credit for the marriage and are all phony.” Caroline offered.
“I don’t believe one has to be married to prove one’s commitment.” 识骨寻踪 added.
“What about the other questions?” Director Jenkins asked.
Sweets went on to explain about how Dr. Brennan answered the other 问题 and how the 答案 were misunderstood.
“Do 你 two know how many emails and phone calls this agency has received in the past three weeks asking if it is a boy 或者 a girl? In addition, the mail department has been flooded with letters and baby gifts.
Dr. Banbridge and I have decided that we are going to 分裂, 拆分 up your partnership. Dr. Brennan 你 will be assigned a new partner and Agent Booth 你 will work alone for now.” Director Jenkins said.
“I will not work with any other FBI agent. I will only work with Booth.” 识骨寻踪 说 emphatically.
“Dr. Brennan, as head of the Jeffersonian, it is up to me when 你 are assigned to the FBI and Director Jenkins will decide who 你 will be assigned to. 你 have no choice in the matter.” Dr. Banbridge insisted.
“Then I will no longer work for the Jeffersonian. It is stated in my contract that if and when I decide I can terminate my association with the Jeffersonian. As 你 are aware I am far greater contribution to the prestige of the institution than 你 are.”
“Dr. Brennan are 你 threatening to quit?” Dr. Banbridge uttered
“No I am stating a fact.”
At that moment a clerk entered the room and informed Director Jenkins that he needed to see the latest copy of People magazine. He handed him a copy and placed additional copies on the 表 for the others to look at.
On the cover there was a mention of couples who work together for the public benefit with the names of Bill and Melinda Gates, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth listed. Inside the 文章 showed how each of the couples was benefiting the public. Bill and Melinda Gates with their foundation for scholarships, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt for their world causes and how Dr Brennan with her husband Agent Seeley Booth work together is solving unusual and bizarre murders not only in DC but around the country and abroad. The 文章 goes on to 显示 their pictures at a crime scene. It is also mentioned that it is admirable that the FBI allows them to work together as the unique team that they are.
Director Jenkins was the first to 评论 on the new problem. “Agent Booth whether the two of 你 are married 或者 not, it is the public opinion that 你 are, the problem is that agents who are partners are not allowed to be married to each other and this could be a potential problem in the bureau.”
“Hold it a minute, the regulation is that only agents working for the FBI cannot be married partners but Dr. Brennan officially works for the Jeffersonian and is only a consultant and not an agent. So we have a loophole 由 which these two can continue to work together married 或者 not.” Caroline interceded.
“Point taken, so that means Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth can still work together and we can try to forget this mess.” Dr. Banbridge 说 with a note of relief in his voice.
At that moment, 识骨寻踪 got out of her chair and removed her smock which had been covering the baby bump.
“Dr. Brennan, is that….are you…?” Sweets stammered. Caroline, Dr Banbridge and Director Jenkins just looked. Cam had a little grin.
“If 你 are asking if I have a roll in the stove then the answer is yes.”
Bones, it is a bun in the oven.” Booth corrected.
“Dr. Brennan so now 你 are pregnant but not when 你 were interviewed is that correct but 你 were pregnant when the interviewed aired?” Director Jenkins inquired.
“Yes.” 识骨寻踪 answered.
“So now the bureau is back to addressing the mystery of whether it’s a boy 或者 a girl.” Director Jenkins quipped.
“I have a question. Dr. Brennan we need to have the name of your baby’s father because everyone is going to presume that it is Agent Booth.” Sweets asked.
“Sweets I am the father and there is no 问题 about it.” Booth proclaimed.
“Back to the answer if it is a boy 或者 a girl.” Director Jenkins reiterated.
Cam explained. “It is too early to tell yet. The best answer right now is the one that Dr. Brennan gave in the interview which is yes to all those emails.”
“Well then when is the baby due?” Dr. Banbridge asked.
“I am due in five 更多 months and then we will know if it is a girl 或者 a boy.” Brennan announced.
Over the 下一个 three months, Brennan was enjoying the thought of motherhood. She and Booth worked on preparing the nursery and they finally settled into just one apartment.
Brennan was having her seven 月 exam when her doctor asked about doing an ultrasound. The doctor did not want to alarm Dr. Brennan but there was something funny about the baby’s heartbeat.
Booth was with 识骨寻踪 as the doctor was doing the ultrasound exam. The doctor asked about if they wanted to know if it is a boy 或者 a girl as she started the exam. As the doctor continued to view the screen, both Booth and 识骨寻踪 were anxious for the results. Finally the doctor turned to them and said. “Well we can’t tell the sex yet, because of the position of the babies.”
Booth was the first to react. “Babies, 你 mean there is 更多 than one?”
“Yes, it looks like twins.”
识骨寻踪 finally inquired. “Do they look all right?”
“The 婴儿 are both fine.” The doctor responded.
Over the 下一个 two months, as 识骨寻踪 was getting closer to her due 日期 everyone was keeping an eye open for the first signs of labor. Even at the FBI there was a betting pool going on as to when and whether it is two boys, two girls 或者 one of each.
As luck would have it, Brennan and Booth were interrogating a suspect when the first pain struck. 识骨寻踪 had grabbed Booth’s arm and was trying get through with the questioning but Booth would have none of that. He was 更多 concerned about the woman he loved and his unborn 婴儿 then the person in the room. He quickly took her out of the room, sat her on a chair in the hall until the contraction passed. He quickly handed the suspects file to Charlie, another agent, and 说 he needed to take Dr. Brennan to the hospital. As Booth left the building with Bones, Charlie let the man running the betting pool know and he also called Cam at the Jeffersonian.
Throughout the afternoon and night while 识骨寻踪 was in labor, Booth never leaves her side. Early the 下一个 morning 识骨寻踪 was delivered two healthy babies. She is taken to her room where she falls asleep exhausted. Booth finally has a chance to go 首页 and change quickly. He wants to be back at the hospital when 识骨寻踪 wakes up.
Booth was sitting in the hospital room watching 识骨寻踪 sleep when the nurse brings in the babies. The nurse gently wakes up Brennan and hands her the first baby. She then hands the 秒 one to Booth. At that moment, Cam, Angela, Hodgins and Sweets enter the room. They ask the most important 问题 of all. What are their names? Booth who is looking at the tiny little person in his arms looks up at Brennan and says. “Her name is Christine Brennan Booth after Bones’ mother.” And Brennan looking at Booth says “His name is going to be Henry Joseph Booth and Booth will call him Hank after his grandfather. To me he is going to be my little Angel.
