There they were. Two red lines. She sighed with relief and allowed herself to cry. She wasn't pregnant. She looked at the test again to make sure that she had read it right. Yes she had. There were definitely two red lines. Her hand still trembled as she placed the test into her pocket. She was happy with the results although she was a little disappointed because what if she couldn't have children in the future? There was only 60 chance of an over 30 woman being able to conceive. Although the figure was quite high, there was still a 40 chance that she wouldn't be able to conceive and in her line of work 60 wasn't a certainty.
She unlocked the toilet door and made her way to Brennan's office. She knocked on the door and entered.

Temperance Brennan was writing on her laptop. "Kathy and Andy entered the small closet and found the young girl bound and gagged" She looked up from her computer when she heard someone knocking and entering her office.
"I took the test" Angela sat down on the couch as she told Brennan this.
Brennan could see that Angela had been crying. Did that mean that it was bad news? She got up from her desk and went as sat beside Angela.
"I'm not pregnant"
Brennan hugged Angela. "I'm so sorry"
"It's okay sweetie. I don't think I'm ready anyways"
"Are you going to tell Jack?"
Angela nodded. She thought that Hodgins deserved to know even though she wasn't pregnant. "He deserves to know"
"You'll be a mother soon Ang, and you are going to be a great one"
"I hope so"
"I promise. Hodgins and Zack are analysing some particles in the lab. You should go and talk to him"
Angela stood up, nodded at Brennan and left the office. Brennan watched her leave and sighed. She knew Angela wanted kids and her saying that she wasn't ready yet was her way of covering up her disappointment.

"There's 30 grams of iodine which means that victim was poisoned before she was struck"
"And there's blunt force trauma to the cranium. The fragmentation suggests that a 10lb hammer struck the victim's skull four times whilst unconscious and there was no sign of a struggle"
"How could someone do that to a 12 year old girl?" Although Jack had seen many bodies over his years at the Jeffersonian it didn't get any easier when the victim was a child.
"Jack?" Jack looked up when he heard the familiar voice of Angela. "Hey sexy" he smiled pulling off his gloves.
"Hi Angela" Zack greeted the Angela and took another look at the skull to find the exact hammer that had killed the young girl.
"Hi Zack" Angela moved closer to her fiancé. "Can I talk to you in private for a minute please?"
"Sure" Jack got down from his station and he and Angela made his way to Angela's office. Once inside, Angela shut the door and she had Jack went and sat on the couch.
"What's wrong Ang?" Jack was worried. Angela had never asked if they could have a talk in private before and knew that something was up and it was worrying him.
"I thought that I was pregnant" It was hard for her say that. She knew that they had both wanted kids and she could see the disappointment in Jack's face when he replied.
"But you're not?"
"No" Angela said shaking her head in unison. Jack looked at the floor and then back to Angela. "We will have kids Ang, and you're going to be a great mother and I'm going to be a great father and that child is going to be lucky as hell"
"I just want to make you happy and give you what you want"
"You are what I want Angela. You're more than I could ever have wanted. You're the reason that I wake up in the morning, you're the sunshine in my life, you're the person that keeps me sane. I love you more everyday and I'm always going to be there for you. No matter what. I love you Angela Michaela Montenegro"
Angela smiled. Jack was always saying something sweet to her and she never grew tired of it. "I love you too baby"
Jack leant in and placed a soft kiss upon Angela's small but elegant lips. Angela returned the kiss and placed her hand on Jack's cheek. After a couple of minutes they pulled apart and Jack gave Angela a cheesy grin.
"How about we start on that child now?"
