Author's Note: I couldn't not write anything after that premiere. Can't tell you how many times I've watched the "Baby" scene. I'm currently writing a full blown one-shot that will be up later.

Temperance knew what Booth meant. She wasn't naïve. She also knew that he wasn't ready to tell her yet.

The "Baby" slip was something that wouldn't have occurred pre-amnesia, but that was okay. She hadn't minded it too much. Besides, the line would be crossed pretty soon. Temperance just knew it.

It was only a matter of time before Booth returned to normal, and they could finally sit down and talk.

Temperance had the patience to wait until Booth admitted he loved her again and didn't take it back. Everything would be fine eventually.

Admitting her love for Booth wasn't going to be a problem at all.

She could wait.
