I'm back with another short story. Only this one will be set in chapters because I haven't finished it yet.

Enjoy and review please!

She had asked him to meet her at the diner after work, but she had arrived there earlier than expected. The waiting was becoming increasingly infuriating and she found herself blaming Booth for her impatience rather than the more logical explanation of D.C. traffic.

She picked up her phone off of the table and stared at the time for the hundredth time in what seemed like an eternity that only ended up being a five minute time span and sighed. This was the longest five minutes in history. It had to be some kind of world record.

Finally, the bell at the front door rang out as Seeley Booth stepped through the threshold and found her sitting at their usual table. He smiled and walked toward her, removing his overcoat in the process.

His cheeks were red from the chill outside and he looked out the window as he sat down in the chair across from her, "You know, I don't really like the cold, but when this time of year rolls around, I just love it."

Brennan looked outside to see the snow falling down and the streets of D.C. lit up with store front windows decorated in holiday garb. She wasn't much for the holidays, but she had to admit that there was a certain ambiance to the Holiday season that she enjoyed.

"So, Bones. What did you want to talk to me about?"

She turned back to him to see him avidly studying her face for clues. She smiled at him, "Right, well. Do you want to order first? Some coffee or maybe a slice of pie?"

"Nah, I had a big lunch today. There were subs in the lounge from a retirement party and I ate a little more than I should have."

Brennan cleared her throat nervously and looked down at her hands that were clasped together in front of her, "Oh. Okay."

"Hey," he said, placing his hand on top of hers, "Bones, whatever it is, you can tell me."

She looked up at him and found comfort in his eyes and she smiled, "I know, I'm just trying to form the right words in my head."

Booth laughed, "Just blurt it out, Bones."

"Okay, I've… decided to become a mother." Booth retracted his hand and stared at her for a moment, "What, Booth? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Booth blinked trying to find his voice again, "Bones, that's… I can't believe it." He said getting up from his seat. He took a step toward her and pulled her up out of her seat and wrapped his arms around her, "I am so proud of you. You are going to be an amazing mother."

Brennan laughed and returned the hug, "Well, I am happy that you are happy."

He pulled away from her and kissed her forehead, "I thought that you were adamant about not being a mother."

"Well," she said, releasing him and taking her seat again, "I've changed my mind."

Booth looked at her adoringly and sat back down, "This is wonderful news."

"Thank you." She said, taking a sip of her now chilled coffee, "But that isn't all."

Booth laughed, "What could news can be better than a baby bones?"

Brennan smiled, "A baby Booth?" she said taking a nervous sip of her coffee.

Booth coughed, "Um… what?" he asked.
