The Secret in the Anthropologist

-1-

Prologue

Groaning slightly, she managed to sit up again, wiping her mouth. She hated this so much. It was really something she'd never had looked forward to when she had considered doing that a few years ago.

She turned around, in attempt to stand up and froze when she noticed Angela standing in the restroom.

"You mind explaining this?", the artist asked, one hand shielding her belly, the other one on her hip.

Brennan sighed and got up again, washing her mouth. The fresh water was great and relaxed her a little.

Inhaling deeply, she turned around to face her friend.

"I'm pregnant, Angela."

"Why to state the obvious, sweetie."

Irritated, the anthropologist looked at her. "What's there to tell?"

Angela looked at her like she had gone crazy. "Sweetie, you're pregnant. There's a lot to do. For example how far you are, who happens to be the lucky father, how the hell you didn't tell me earlier and how it is going so far."

Brennan sighed again. "Well, except from the morning sickness it's quite alright. I'm in week six and I didn't tell you before because I didn't want to tell anybody before the second trimester."

Skeptically, Angela raised a bow. "And you don't think someone would have noticed that you're acting strangely or something. For example me or that gorgeous FBI agent of yours."

"He's not my anything, Angela," Brennan said exasperated.

The artist rolled her eyes. "You never answered my question, Bren."

Confused, Brennan raised a bow. "I believe I answered a lot of your questions."

"Yeah, well, a lot, but not all of them."

Biting her lip, Brennan looked away, finally returning her gaze to Angela. "Alright, I'm gonna tell you since you're my best friend, but you have to promise me not to scream and first and foremost, not to tell anybody."

"Alright, alright," she answered giddy, "tell me already."

Biting her lip one last time and inhaling deeply, she finally answered. "Booth and I slept together."

Alright, since we never knew what happened after the long overdue breakup and the "getting drunk scene", I thought to make something different out of it ;)
I hope I haven't said too much yet and that you enjoy the story.
