13A/N: So, I actually wrote this a while back (in August…) and never got around to publishing it, cause I wanted it to be longer. I don't know when I'll continue writing this, so I thought I'd just post it now.
"Ready?" He asks her as they stand in front of the door of the enormous manor. Angela invited everyone there for the reunion, since they would not be returning to the Jeffersonian for another week.
She squeezes his hand, giving him permission to ring the bell.
It is Angela who opens the door with a big grin on her face. While not too surprised to see the former crime-fighting duo arrive hand in hand, the artist's expression does change into confusion (though the happy kind) when she sees the baby sleeping peacefully in the carrier he is holding.
"When did you two... I mean, how come you didn't, Bren, I, Oh my god."
"Angela, breathe." Booth interrupts her. "Bones adopted Sophia. We'll explain later." It reassures Brennan that when he says we, her natural instincts are not to run.
Angela snaps out of her reverie and hugs them both. "Come in, Hodgins is catching up with Sweets in the living room."
"Is Daisy here too?" Brennan winces a little.
"No, Sweets apparently has a new girlfriend." Angela says grinning as she steps aside to let them enter before she closes the door.
Booth enters first with Sophia. Brennan follows, but Angela pulls her arm.
"Sweetie? Did you sleep with him?" She whispers excitedly in her friend's ear.
Brennan's cheeks turn pink. "Only in the very literal sense." She answers quietly, earning her a chuckle from Angela. "We were both jet-lagged." She adds, since she feels an unlogical need to explain the situation to her friend.
"I can't believe you didn't tell me."
"It only happened last night." Brennan is confused, yes, she did tell Angela a lot, but she hardly thought she was expected to relate such things over the phone or by text when they would be seeing eachother later. Even more confusingly, Angela grins again, though it then becomes clear why
"I meant the baby Bren."
"Oh." Brennan realises she has now given Angela plenty of things to analyse her relationship with. Luckily for her, she is incredibly observant. "You didn't tell me you were pregnant either." She shoots back, earning herself a shocked look from her friend.
"Hey, what are you two whispering about?" Booth asks them as he opens the door to the living room.
"Girl talk." Angela saves them, though her shocked look betrays her.
"Were you not aware?" Brennan asks her friend.
"I found out last week." Angela admits quietly. "Act surprised when we tell you later."
B&B
Brennan opens the door, surprised to find Cam just about to knock on the door. "Hi Cam." She says, passing her boss to run to her car.
Cam, a little confused, acknowledges her colleague, "Dr Brennan" but knowing Temperance Brennan, she decides it is probably best not to ask questions.
"Hey, everyone, sorry I'm late, but..." Cam stops in her tracks as she enters the living room. Seeley Booth is walking around the room with a crying baby in his arms. Cam's seen him hold babies before and there is something different about this baby. As if he's...a new father?
Before anyone gets a chance to explain (they have all noticed the shock on her face and are still trying to recover from their own), Brennan enters the room again with a pacifier in hand. "Here it is, must've fallen out of the diaper bag."
As soon as the baby sees the pacifier, she calms down. Brennan gives it to her and takes the baby from Booth. "It's okay, Sophia, Mommy's found the pacifier."
Cam is dumbstruck. "Have I missed something here?"
"We all have, Cam. Apparently we'll get the explanation later today." Angela says as she gives her a glass of wine.
Hodgins gets up from the couch and goes to wrap his arm around his wife's waist. "Anyway, before Dr. B explains, Ange and I have a little announcement of our own to make."
"No way!" Cam yells, hugging a shrugging Angela.
"You're pregnant?" Booth asks smiling. Angela nodds, earning her another hug, followed by a more 'manly' one for Hodgins, who is smiling extremely widely.
