'' So how was the doctor's appointment.''? Asked Angela
'' It was...It was emotional.'' I replied
'' Really''
'' Yeah, soon as I saw the baby on the screen I litually just burst into tears.''
'' Oh sweetie! Where they happy tears or sad tears''? Angela asked me
'' They were bit of both, Ang. I'd just still can't believe that I am having a baby I mean Zack and I always use condoms whenever we have sex.'' I stated
'' Like Dr. Riley said Ems, condoms do attend to split when you're having sex'' Mom said
'' Yeah and condoms aren't awalys that affected.'' Angela stated and then she said, '' How's Zack taking all of this''?
'' He's actually really happy.''
'' Seriously''?
'' Seriously Ang, he is very happy that I'm having his baby and how do I know this because when I gave him a picture of the baby he burst into tears.''
'' Really''
'' Yep''
'' So when are you going to start telling people that you're pregnant'' Mom asked me.
'' Not yet, I told Zack that I want to wait couple of weeks so until Zack and I both decided to start telling people I want you and mom to keep this pregnancy to yourselfs.'' I told them.
'' You got it.'' Mom said
I looked at Angela and then she says. '' Yeah, you got it.'' Angela says and then she said. '' Do you know what you're going to have yet''? Angela asked me
'' Not yet, but Dr. Riley said that we be able to find out in couple of weeks.''
'' Do you want to find out''? Mom asked me
'' To be honest with you Mom, no I don't. I know that Zack wants to find out what we're having but I don't. I rather wait until she or he arrives.'' I answered
'' So, this Dr. Riley person that you're seeing is it a she or a he''? Angela asked
'' She's a she, Ang. Her full name is Dr. Adrienne Riley.''
'' Is she really nice''?
'' She is really nice'' I told Angela
'' That's good, at least you've got a nice doctor. That's the main thing.''
'' Yeah.'' I responded
'' What would you and Zack would like to have? Boy or girl'' Mom asked me
'' I'm not sure what Zack would like to have but I would like to have a girl.'' I answered Mom question
'' Really''
'' Yeah.'' I stated
'' If the baby is a girl what would you call her''?
'' Ummmmmm....I've always liked the name Maisy.'' I stated
'' Maisy.''? Questioned Angela
'' Yeah, it's simple and it's a beautiful name.''
'' I agree, Ems. Maisy is a beautiful name.'' Mom agreed.
'' What if the baby's a boy? What would you call him''? Angela asked
'' Matthew.''
'' Seriously.''?
'' What is wrong with Matthew.''? I asked her and Mom
'' Nothing is wrong with the name, Ems. Matthew is a beautiful name and so is Maisy.'' Mom said.
'' Thank you.'' I thanked Mom and then she gives Angela a look
'' Yeah, I agree with you're Mom, Ems. Matthew and Maisy are both beautiful names.'' Angela said
'' Hmm hmm.''
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Angela, Mom and I were still in the bone room and all three of us were still standing on opposite sides of the lit up table. The skeleton was still out on the table and Mom still has the same skull in her hand and she's still gluing the pieces to it.
'' So I spent the night at Todd's.'' Angela said changing the subject and then she says. '' You remember Todd right? The bass player with the big hands, big nimble hands?''
'' Angela I'm trying to piece together a skull'' Mom told her
'' You're doing a great job.'' Angela said and then she carries on talking. '' So I wake up this morning and he's sitting there right? No clothes on just his bass. Singing to me in this low, low voice, it was creepy.''
'' I bet it was.''
'' Angela, is this conversation really appropriate here''?
'' Sorry but I'm into live people. Anyway Todd has a friend.'' Angela said
'' I thought you said he was creepy.'' I stated
'' Todd, not the friend.'' Angela said
Zack enters the bone room and then he says, '' Good news.''
'' I hope this is work related.'' Mom stated
'' The Anthropology Journal is publishing our piece on the evolution of the Coronals suture.''
'' That's awesome.''
'' For the interruption.''
Mom places the skull on the table and then Zack holds his fist up to her and then he says, '' You're supposed to bump my fist with yours''
'' Why''? Mom asked
'' I'm told it's a widely acknowledge gesture of mutual success.'' Zack said
'' I love it when you two impersonate earthlings.'' Angela stated
Zack leaves mom side and then he comes over to mine and then he says. '' So, how's the baby doing''? Zack asked me and then he puts his hand onto my stomach.
'' The baby's fine, Zack.'' I told him
'' I know I'm just checking.'' Zack stated
'' Awe, you guys are so cute.'' Angela said
'' I agree'' Mom agreed and then she says. '' You guys would make a great couple. It's a shame that you guys aren't together.''
Zack moves his hand away from my stomach and then Hodgins enters the bone room. He was carrying a red box with a blue bow on it.
'' What's that you got there, Hodgins''?
Hodgins turns to Mom and then he says, '' Okay now, this is weird. There's some guy in the lounge who asked me to give you this.''
Hodgins hands Mom the box and then I said. '' That is very weird.'' I stated
'' Is he alive because this is an excellent start to a relationship.'' Angela said
Mom opens up the box and pulls out a shoe and looks at it and then Hodgins says. '' I didn't put a mirror underneath his nose or anything. He said that you'd know who he was when you opened it.''
Mom hands the box to Zack and walks off
'' Okay. A guy who gets her to stop working? This I have to see.'' Angela stated
'' Me too.''
Angela, Hodgins, Zack and I went to follow Mom. Mom enters the main lab area and there is a guy up in the balcony looking down at her who is known Michael
'' You left it at my place.'' Michael said
Mom looks up to speak to him and then she said. '' Three years ago.''
'' First time I've been to Washington thought that I should return it in person.''
'' Why didn't you tell me that you were coming.''
'' What if you didn't take my call? You're a big important author now.''
'' You could come down here you know.''
'' You could come up.''
'' Half-way.''
'' As always.'' Michael said and then he comes all the way down and meet her. Hodgins, Zack, Angela and I were standing a little distance behind her.
'' Who's that''? I wondered
'' This is like watching cars mate.''
'' It's got to be Michael Stire, her forensic Anthropology professor from North Western. They were...''
'' Very, very close''? Hodgins said
'' Dr Brennan is my forensic Anthropology professor. Does that mean.''?
'' No.'' Hodgins, Angela and I both said
And with that point Booth walks into the lab with some guys hauling a beat up refrigerater on a dolly and then Booth calls my mom '' Hey Bones'' Booth called my mom and then he turns to the guys and then he said. '' Okay, put it here, easy. Bones! I got a present for ya straight out of an illegal ravine found in a dump in Fairfax.'' Booth said and then he continues to talk. '' You see our forensic people confirmed it was human matter so rather then open it myself and risk being trashed by you for contaminating the evidence; I decided to bring the whole refrigerator to you.''
'' All we need is a toaster oven.'' Hodgins stated
Booth clears his throat and then he calls my mom again. '' Bones.'' Booth called my mom again and then he nods towards the fridge.
Mom comes over with the guy and then she looks at the outside of the fridge and sniffs and then Mom says. '' Bodies going to be mostly decomposed.''
'' Which is my cue to leave.''
'' Me too.'' I said and then Angela and I both leave and we both walked towards her office .
'' I still can't believe it you know.''
'' Believe what''? I asked
'' That you're pregnant, Ems. I still can't believe that you are pregnant.'' Angela stated
'' I know I can't believe it either and you know what else that I can't believe...''
'' What''?
'' That I'm already half way through the Trimester. Dr. Riley says that I am four months pregnant.''
'' What? Seriously''
'' Yeah, I mean I don't even look like i'm four months pregnant though and it feels like that I'm not even pregnant.''
'' What makes you think that''? Angela asked me
'' Because of my stomach, Ang. It's so tiny.''
'' Some girls are different though, sweetie.'' Angela said as she and I both entered her office.
'' So listen, Ang. You know how we was talking about baby names before in the bone room.''
'' Yeah.'' Angela answered
'' Well, I really like those names Maisy and Matthew. I've always liked them and I was wondering if you could help me to think some middle names for them.'' I said and then I continued to speak, '' Well I only need you're help for Matthew middle names as I've already got Maisy middle names already.''
'' Sure, I can help you with that. What are you thinking for Maisy''?
'' Well, I was sort of thinking having May and Temperance for Maisy's middle names''
'' Maisy May Temperance Brennan Addy. I like it, it's got a ring to it.'' Angela stated and then she asked. '' What about Matthew''?
'' That's the thing though, Ang, I don't know what to have for Matthew's middle name. That's why I am asking you.''
'' Okay, how about I write down a list of middle names and then once I am done we can both decided to choose which ones that are right for Matthew.''
'' Okay.'' I stated and then I leave Angela's office.
________________________________________________________
I was sitting in my mom's office with my mom but my mom was sitting at her desk and she was looking at a file. Angela enters carrying her sketch pad and she notices me sitting on the couch. '' Hey Emmy.'' Angela greeted me.
'' Hey.'' I greeted back
Angela hands her pad and then she says. '' Here's the sketch of the victim. Her skull was intact so it made it easy to work with.''
Mom takes it and then she said. '' I just got her dental records.'' Mom says and then she holds the dental records up and then she said. '' Name...Maggie schilling...nineteen.''
'' Then I guess you don't need this.'' Angela said disappointed
'' She was a dancer, found markers in her metatarsals.'' Mom told her
'' God, they go from the freedom of dance to being crammed into a refrigerator.'' Angela said
'' Man, I hope she was already dead when they shut the door.'' I finished
Angela sits down and then she says. '' He's hotter then you said.''
'' Who''? I asked as I got up from the couch and I make my way over to them
'' Michael''? Mom replied
'' Oh.'' I said
'' Any other ex -lovers come knocking on your door today''? Angela asked
'' The ex in ex -lover is not a variable it's a constant like...the speed of light.'' Mom said
'' Save your dirty talk for the hunky professor.''
'' Eww gross, like I want to hear that.''
Mom chuckles and then she says. '' I can assure you, our relationship is purely plutonic. What we share is a love of science. Neither of us has the time or inclination for emotional complications.''
Angela smiles and then she said. '' Sounds very reasonable.''
'' Yes, now I have to get this data together for Booth.'' Mom stated
'' Sure.'' Angela said and then she stands up and then she said. '' Have a good dinner tonight.''
'' I'm sure she will, Ang.''
'' Oh Emmy, I've done that list for you if you want to come and look at it.''
'' Sure, it's not like I am doing anything so I might as well come and look at the list.''
'' What are you too talking about''? Mom asked
'' I've made a list for Emmy.''
'' I gathered that but what sort of a list.''
'' It's a list of middle names for Emmy. She's already chosen Maisy's middle names and she wanted me to help her to choose a middle name for Matthew.''
'' Oh! What middle names have you chosen for Maisy''? Mom asked me as she turned to look at me.
'' I really dont want to say.'' I told her
'' Why not? It's not like I'm going to cry or anything.'' Mom stated
'' Okay fine, for my middle names for Maisy I have chosen May and Temperance.'' I told Mom and then I said. '' So in full name it's going to be Maisy May Temperance Brennan Addy.''
'' That's beautiful.''
'' It's got a ring to it doesn't it''
'' It sure has.'' Mom agreed
'' Before I go to Angela's office I need to ask you something.''
'' Okay.''
'' That michael guy...He's not my dad is he''? I asked her
'' No sweetie, he's not you're dad.''
'' Good, cause I rather have Hodgins to be my dad.'' I said and then I get looks from Angela and Mom and then I said. '' What? Was it something I said''?
'' No, no.'' Angela and Mom said at the same time
'' Okay'' I said with a confused tone.
'' Shall we go take a look at this list then, Emmy'' Angela suggested
'' Yeah'' I said and then I turned around to look at mom and then I said. '' Have fun tonight, Mom.''
'' I will'' Mom said and then I leave with Angela to go too her office.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
'' I know it's not much but I hope that you like the middle names that I gave you.'' Angela said as we both entered her office.
Angela goes over to her desk and she puts down her clipboard and then she grabs the list from her desk and then she hands it to me. I opened the piece of paper and I saw a couple of middle names and I looked at them and then I said. '' Wow Ang, these middle names are really good.''
'' Really''? Angela asked
'' Yeah.'' I replied
'' Thank god.'' Angela said in relief
'' Seriously Ang, these middle names are really beautiful.'' I told her and then I began to read the list out. '' Joshua, Adam, TJ, Liam, Noah, Avery, Payton, Joseph, Connor, James, Austin, Hayden and Jaden.''
'' So what do you think? Out of all those middle names which ones are you going to chose for your baby.'' Angela said
'' Ummmmm....I really like the name Joshua and I also like TJ and I also like Avery too.'' I told Angela
'' Matthew TJ Joshua Avery Brennan Addy.'' Angela said
'' It doesn't sound right does it.''
'' No.''
'' Well, how about Matthew Joshua Avery Brennan Addy'' I suggested
'' That sounds better.'' Angela said
'' Okay, so my chosen middle names for Matthew are Joshua and Avery.'' I said and then I thanked Angela. '' Thanks, Ang.''
'' No problem.'' Angela said
'' Right, I'm going to go and find Zack and tell him what names I have chosen for our baby.'' I said and then I asked Angela. '' Do you think he will like them''?
'' Of course he will, Ems, Matthew and Maisy are both beautiful names'' Angela stated and then she says. '' He will like them.''
'' Okay.'' I said
'' Go and tell Zack you're baby names.'' Angela said
'' Okay'' I said and then I leave Angela's office but before I turned the corner I turned to look at Angela and then I thanked her. '' Thanks Ang.''
'' Your welcome'' Angela said and then I leave
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
I entered Zack's office and I greeted Zack as I entered it '' Hey Zack''
'' Hey Emmy'' Zack greeted back as I make my way over to him.
'' What you doing''? I asked him
'' Just surfing on the internet'' Zack replied
'' Are you allowed to do that''? I asked him
'' Not really no, but this is important.'' Zack stated
I nodded at Zack and then I said. '' Have you got a minute? I need to talk too you about something. This wont take long.''
'' Okay'' Zack said and then he moves his head away from his computer and then he says. '' So what's up? What do you need to talk about''?
'' Baby names.''
'' That's funny because I wanted to talk too you about that as well''
'' Really''? I asked
'' Yeah''
'' Have you chosen you're baby names for the baby''? Zack asked
'' As a matter of fact I have.'' I said as I move around the desk and then I sat down on Zack's lap and then he wraps his arms around me.
'' Really''? Zack asked
'' Yep''
'' Can I hear them''?
'' Only if I get to hear yours.''
'' Alright.'' Zack stated
'' Okay, so my chosen names for our baby are; if it's a girl I would like to call her Maisy May Temperance Brennan Addy and if it's a boy I would like to call him Matthew Joshua Avery Brennan Addy.'' I said to Zack and then I say. '' What do you think''?
'' I think that Maisy and Matthew are both beautiful names.''
'' Really''?
'' Yeah.'' Zack said
'' Okay, let me hear yours.''
'' Okay, my chosen names for our baby are; if it's a girl I would like to call her Sophie Louise Brennan Addy and if it's a boy I would like to call him Jack Michael Brennan Addy.''
'' Sophie and Jack'' I questioned Zack
'' Yeah.''
'' Huh'' I said
'' What''? Zack asked me
'' Nothing, I'm just bit surprised that you would name our baby after Hodgins.''
'' Well, he is my best friend, Ems.'' Zack said and then he says. '' So, what do you think to my baby names.''?
'' Like what you said to my baby names, I think they're beautiful.''
'' So, out of both girls name and boy names, which ones are we going to choose''? Zack asked
'' Ooh, that's going to be tough, I mean Maisy and Sophie are both great names, so are Jack and Matthew it's going to be hard to choose which one for our baby.'' I told Zack and then I said. '' And besides we don't have to choose one yet anyway I mean one; we dont know the sex of the baby is and two; we still got couple of months.''
'' You're right.'' Zack said and then I leaned against Zack's shoulder and then I looked at him.
'' Could I stay at you're place tonight? I asked him
'' Of course.'' Zack said
'' Thanks'' I thanked him and then Zack puts his hand onto my stomach and he rubs it.
________________________________________________________
Angela, Zack, Hodgins and I were all on the platform and all four of us were standing over the bones.
'' Using a refrigerator to hide a body...Pfft...kinda perfect isn't it.'' Hodgins said
I rolled my eyes at him
'' A good way to remove the victim without being detected.'' Zack stated
'' The rubber gasket sealed in the odor.'' I said finishing.
'' Maybe the company should use that in their ads.'' Angela said.
'' Where the hell is, Mom''?
'' She's late, she's never late.'' Angela said
'' You worried about her''? Hodgins asked
'' I'm happy for her.'' Angela said
'' Why''? Zack asked
'' Remember that time you were late''
'' Oh...yeah.''
'' Hey, is it true what you said to you're mom.''
'' True about what''? I asked Hodgins
'' Did you really say that you rather have me as a dad than that Michael guy''
'' I did yeah and it's true though I rather have you and only you to be my dad.'' I told him and then I said. '' And anyway I'm glad that Michael guy isn't my dad.'' I said to them and then I saw Mom entering the lab and walks up the stairs with Michael following.
'' Good morning all.'' Mom greeted us
'' You know you can take the day off. You deserve one day.'' Angela told Mom
'' Well Michael wanted to look at our equipment.'' Mom stated
'' I'm gonna let that one go. The guys wanted to meet him anyway.''
'' Not me.'' I said and then Angela elbowed me in the arm.
'' You didn't come home last night.''
'' That's because I stayed over at Zack's place, I gave you a text. Did you not get my text.''
'' No.''
'' I defently sent you a text, Mom, to say that I am staying over at Zack's.'' I told her and then I asked. '' Have you checked you're phone''?
'' No''
'' Maybe that's why'' I said and then Zack, Hodgins and Michael joins us at the table with the bones on it.
'' What have you found''? Mom asked
'' X -rays reveal how bone density and the parathyroid hormone levels are also low.'' Zack said
'' There's a medical condition called hyperparathyroidism.'' I said finishing
'' Symptoms include, muscle weakness, brittle bones.''
'' You maybe premature with your struggle theory.''
'' I doubt that.''
'' You mean you don't want to be doubted.''
'' I can take it.''
'' The wrists fractures could have resulted from her medical condition.''
'' Unlikely, however...''
'' Or been an unrelated cause of non - traumatic fissures.''
'' Non-traumatic''? Mom said and then she hands x-rays to him and then she says. '' Look at these.''
'' Well, it's something to consider. The last thing you want to do is jump to conclusions without evidence. I mean I know how much you want to find who did this.''
'' This seems like an appropriate moment to discuss human goop.'' Hodgins said and then he says. '' Chemical analysis of the liver and kidney tissue reveal significance evidence of the narcotic hydromorphone.''
'' Hydromorphone''? Questioned Mom
'' Also known as hospital heroine.'' Michael said
'' In what kind of concentration''? Mom asked
'' Given her probable size and weight, it's fatal.'' Hodgins repliied
'' Where'd you go to dinner last night''? Angela asked Mom
'' We wound up staying in.'' Mom answered Angela's question and then she says. '' We need to know if that amount was accrued over time or was delivered in one large dose.''
'' You didn't come back to the lab did you''? I asked Mom
'' I made a frittata.'' Michael said
'' Oh wow. He cooks too. Can we share him'' Angela said
I rolled my eyes at Angela.
'' We also need to know if the hydromorphone was administered intravenously or orally.''
'' I should get going. I'm meeting with the board at the University, call you after my appointment. It was nice meeting you all.'' Michael said and then he leaves and then all of us stared at Mom
'' What? Is it so odd for everyone to see me with a man''? Mom asked
'' Yeah'' I said
Mom turns to Hodgins and then she said. '' Print out the levels of hydromorphone you found in her system'' Mom said to Hodgins and then she turns to Zack and then she said. '' I want you to find the overload point that would cause the fractures in her wrist.'' Mom said to Zack and then she turns to me and then she says, '' And I want you to examine the left ilium, there seems to be some kind of degeneration on the edge.'' Mom said and then she walks away.
________________________________________________________
The bones were now clean and sitting on the table in the platform. Mom is ordering us around to show Michael her proof. Michael is standing next to Booth who is looking on.
'' Pull up frontal and lateral view of the victim's lower fibulas.'' Mom said
Booth turns to Michael and then he says. '' You trained her well, Doc.''
'' She's brilliant, a little cocky though.'' Michael said
'' Ha. Yeah, tell me about it.'' Booth said
Zack turns to Mom and then he says. '' Here's the leg.'' Zack said as we all looked at the computer screen
Booth turns to Michael and then he said. '' She's been a good partner though. What you see is what you get, it's a rare quality. That's just between us.''
'' Michael.'' Mom called his name and then he looks up to listen to what we have to say.
'' Dr. Brennan found marks on the medial malleoli, both left and right.''
'' Her legs were bound.'' Mom told him
'' There are erosion patterns from the bones rubbing together over time.'' I stated
'' If this were a result of sex games then the legs they wouldn't be bound together.'' Booth said and then all of us looked at him and then he says. '' Ah, come on, ya know. Looking for a little nooky the last thing you tie together are the legs.''
'' I'm not convinced. Brittle bones from her thyroid condition, the damage could of happened in a very short time.''
'' We also found evidence of inflammation on her right humerus and ilium.'' Mom said
'' The bone abnormalities indicate pathosis from lying in one position for a long time.'' Zack said
'' The only reasonable explanation is long term bondage.''
'' Decreased bone density could have caused the inflammation. This isn't definitive. I hear there's a nice little French place near here i'd like to try.''
'' I still have five minutes.''
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
Mom, Booth, Michael, Angela and I were in the holographic lab. There is a hologram of Maggie laying on her side with her hands and feet bound.
'' My department is still working with Polaroid's.''
'' So, what do you think''?
'' Very impressive, especially to the non - professional.''
'' You want science''? I asked
'' Give me the estimated time of captivity.'' Angela finished
'' Approximately three weeks.''
'' Okay, here are your affected areas, now doing an advanced time simulation.''
Booth whispers to Mom, '' You're winning, right.''?
Mom nods at him
'' Can I see your findings''? Michael asks and then Mom hands over her file to him and then he says. '' This appears to be indisputable.''
'' The narcotic found in her system was not the result of recreational drug abuse.''
'' The inflammation would have been very painful and the pain would have increased over time.'' Angela says
'' They kept upping the dose of hydromorphone until they gave her too much and she died.'' I said
'' Those people bound and killed that girl.'' Mom finished
'' I yield. French restaurant''
'' I'm more in the mood for Italian. I need to put together the evidence package for Booth to deliver to the U.S. attorney.''
'' I'll meet you at your place.'' Michael said and then he hands her folder back to Mom
'' Good work.'' Booth stated and then he puts up his fist to bump it againsts Mom and she just looks at it and then he puts it down.
________________________________________________________
Angela, Mom and I were in the lounge and all three of us are seated opposite each other talking and while we talking I was sitting my lunch as I was hungry.
'' Do you really think he can handle your success''? Angela asked Mom
'' What because of today? We've always been competitive.'' Mom replied
'' I know but he's a man and his student, a woman, has surpassed him.''
'' Michael is extremely secure, Ang.''
'' Honey, when you stuck it to him today, he was upset.''
'' It was a healthy debate between scientists. You don't know Michael.''
'' I know men'' Angela stated and then she says. '' And I know what happens when two people start sleeping together.'' Angela said and then she looks at me.
'' What are you looking at me for''? I asked Angela
Mom chuckles and then she says. '' It's not like that. We're friends, colleagues, that's all.''
'' Colleagues with benefits.'' I stated
'' I dont know what that means but Michael and I are not involved.'' Mom told me and then she continues. '' I'm sorry if that's difficult for both of you to understand but what we have isn't traditional.''
'' Don't talk to me about traditional, okay, I've dated circus people.'' Angela said
'' You and Michael you have something and that's okay, that's good even.'' I told her
'' Just be honest about it.'' Angela finished
Booth comes walking up and then he says. '' Bones. The judge is um, holding them without bail. The US attorney is thinking about sending you flowers.''
'' Facts are facts.'' Mom told Booth
'' Ah, Bones I have to ask how much have you been sharing with uh, the professor''
'' None of your business.''
'' He means the case, Mom.'' I said
'' Oh, I bounce everything off of him. Why''?
'' You got to keep him out of it from now on.''
'' Out of it. Why''
'' Well, you know that appointment that he had today''? Booth asked Mom
'' Yeah.'' Mom answered
'' He met with the Costello's lawyer. Michael is their expert witness. It's his job to tear apart the case that you've built.''
Angela and I both looked at Mom and Booth in shock.
________________________________________________________
Angela, Zack, Hodgins, Mom, Michael, Dr. Goodman, Booth and I were all on the platform, we were standing a meter away from Mom and Michael. I was standing next to Zack who had a camera in his hands and Hodgins and Angela was standing next to Dr. Goodman and Booth. Michael is examining all the bones and the files that Mom has gathered and Mom does not look very happy.
'' Mom doesn't look very happy does she''? I asked Zack and Hodgins
'' Not at all.'' Hodgins said
Booth hushed to Angela and Dr. Goodman and then he asked. '' He's still at it''?
'' Yep and it is fascinating.'' Angela replied
'' Why don't you keep an eye on him''? Booth asked
'' That's not going to be a problem.'' Dr. Goodman answered
Dr. Goodman gestures with his eyes towards Zack, Hodgins and me. Zack is holding a camera taping everything Michael does while Hodgins and I supervising him. Booth slowly gives us a thumbs up and all three of us gave him the thumbs up back nodding our heads.
Angela turnes to Booth and then she asked. '' Did you just give Zack, Emmy and Hodgins a sign of encouragement''? Angela asked
'' Well, you know, that's the first time I have been able to look at them without imagining Moe knocking their heads together.''
'' Agent Booth you're accessing your inner squint.''
'' Tempe you listed an avulsion fracture on the right femur, looks minor. Do you consider this evidence.''?
Booth clears his throat and steps forward and then he said. '' Dr. Brennan's conclusions belong to the prosecution.''
'' I have no interest in destroying your case, Agent Booth. I'm just trying to get a sense.''
'' Of her interpretations of data to which you are not privy, Dr. Stires.'' Dr. Goodman said
'' I understand the game the doctor is trying to play and I'm perfectly capable of dealing with him myself.'' Mom said and then she says. '' I'm sure he's just thrown by findings he would have missed.''
'' This is not about you and Dr. Stires. This is about the Jeffersonian's reputation as a source of expert witnesses.'' Dr. Goodman stated
Michael raises his hands and then he says. '' Okay, I'm...I'm on my own.'' Michael says and then he continues to talk. '' Oh, in the interest of fairness, I am willing to share my thoughts with you. I red penciled a few things.''
'' You corrected my findings.''? Mom asked
'' Consider it an opposing opinion.'' Michael said
'' My findings are based on facts Michael not opinion.'' Mom said angrily
'' You seem to have finished your allotted time with the remains, Dr. Stires. I'd like my people to get back to work.''
'' Thank you'' Michael thanked mom and then he smiles at her.
________________________________________________________
'' What are we doing in Angela's office''? Zack asked me later on that evening.
'' You'll see'' I told him as I grabbed his hand and we both went over to the new Angela's specially designed computer and in front of it was a chair and beside the chair was a stand and on the stand was a monitor, just like the one at the doctors.
'' What's all this for''? Zack asked
'' Okay look, I feel bad about you not coming to the first doctor's appointment with me and Mom. I know you said that you was fine with just being Mom and me...''
'' Which I was.'' Zack interrupted
'' But I wasn't though, Zack. I wanted you there with me, by myside, seeing the baby.'' I said and then I say. '' So, I've asked Angela if I could borrow her new toy, which is this.'' I said pointing to the big glass computer.
'' Whoa, I never seen this before.'' Zack stated
'' That's because it's new, Zack. It arrived today and I'm the second person to use the new computer.''
'' Who used it first''? Zack asked
'' Angela did'' I said and then I continued to speak. '' The reason why I brought you in here is to show you our baby.''
'' How''? Zack asked me
'' Why don't you go and sit on this chair'' I suggested to Zack
'' Okay'' Zack said and then he goes and sits in the chair and then I joined Zack on the chair and then Zack wraps his arms around me.
'' I'm not too heavy for you am I''? I asked Zack
'' No, you're not heavy, Emmy.'' Zack said
'' Okay, are you ready to see our baby.''
'' Yeah.'' Zack stated
'' Okay'' I said and then I lift my top up and then I get the monitor from the stand and then I put the monitor onto my stomach and then I move the monitor around my stomach and then Zack and I both turned to the big glass computer and there on the screen was mine and Zack's baby.
'' Oh my god.'' Zack said and then he says. '' Is...Is that our baby''?
'' It sure is Zackie'' I told him.
'' Oh my god.''
'' I know''
'' I can't believe that is our baby up there.'' Zack stated
'' I can't believe it either.'' I said to him and then I paused it so that he and I both can look at the baby together. '' Are you okay, Zackie''? I asked him.
'' Yeah, yeah I'm fine. I'd just...I'd just can't believe that's our baby.'' Zack said
'' You're gonna make a wonderful dad to that baby Zack, I know it's going to be hard but it will get better.'' I told him and then Zack kisses me and I couldn't help but to kiss him back and then we both pulled away from each other and then we both looked back at the screen.
