Dr. Temperance Brennan sits on the closed lid of the toilet seat. Holding a little plastic stick in her hands, she sighs and hangs her head between her knees. She's pregnant.

The poor doctor slumps tiredly. Her hands relax, and the little stick falls to the floor. She doesn't pay attention, and covers her face with her hands. Tears prick at her eyes, and for the first time in a while, she doesn't fight them. Her entire body deflates: she's defeated and alone. There's no one there for her, and she's too proud to call someone to her side.

Brennan stands up and walks to her bed. She'll deal with her mess in the morning, but right now she needs to rest her exhausted body. Crawling under the covers, she doesn't even bother to change.

She's woken up roughly by the obnoxious ringing of a cell phone.

"Hello?" Her voice is still laced with sleep.

"Bones, we've got a body in a bowling alley. I'll be at your place in an hour."

Brennan rubs her eyes and drags a hand through her hair. "Yeah alright."

Booth hangs up and Brennan rolls over uncomfortably. As soon as she stands up, a wave of nausea rolls over her. She doubles over, gripping the bed sheets, and breathes deeply. The nausea had started about a week prior and had been getting steadily worse. But she'd been careful to hide the symptoms from everyone at work.

Brennan slowly stands up and readies herself for a crime scene. Drinking mint tea and eating a bland meal, she hopes to diminish the nausea before Booth arrives. Mint helps to calm the stomach, and she had packs of gum all around the apartment. Just as Booth knocks on the door, she pops a piece in her mouth, knowing it will not be the last that she chews today.

Booth smiles. "Ange really was happy wasn't she?"

Brennan looks at him. Usually she was the one to confirm the emotions of others.

"Yeah she was. Why do you ask it like that Booth?"

Booth sighs slightly. "Hannah called. Apparently she wants to get back together."

The anthropologist looks down at the puddles surrounding them. Her wavered form breezes through each reflection as they walk down the street. If Booth gets together with Hannah, she can never tell him about the pregnancy.

"Why?"

Booth shakes his head. "She's pregnant. And she has no family to help her."

Brennan blinks. This isn't what she was expecting. "What about the father?"

At this, Booth stops and sits down on the steps of an apartment building.

"She was raped by a source while following a story. She called me right after she found out."

Brennan is silent, unsure of what to say. But she takes Booth's hand and squeezes reassuringly. He smiles sadly and pats her hand.

"She can't raise the child overseas and she has no one to live with."

He looks at Brennan, remembering the night they shared together.

"I have to help her Bones. She's got no one else."

"Do you love her?" Temperance cannot look her partner in the eye. She stares down at her feet, eyes tracing every outline of her shoe.

Booth sighs. "No. But I have to help her. At least until the baby comes and she's on her feet."

The doctor looks away, unable to stop the small tears that form. Her child will be without a father, but she just wants Booth to be happy. Her happiness comes after his, it always has. He has to help Hannah, and with her knowledge of him, will probably end up back together with her. He can't be responsible for two children. She won't do that to him. Raising a child alone won't be a problem for her, she's independent and willful. She and her child will be fine.

Having made up her mind, Brennan stands swiftly.

"Listen Booth, I'm not very good with people but I know Hannah will be in good hands with you."

She turns and starts back towards the hospital. Booth climbs off the steps and reaches out to take her hand.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

Temperance turns and gently takes her hand from Booth's. "I'm going back to stay with Angela. No doubt she's driving Hodgins crazy by now. I'll see you tomorrow."

She turns away, and Booth doesn't see the hurt in her eyes.

Please review! I have the next chapter written if there is interest
