#bones scenario

Your pregnancy was easy compared to what came after. It had only been two weeks since your daughter was born and Violet could be as much of a pain as she was a blessing. Your body still had some aches as your internal organs shifted back into place. Your breasts were raw, and nipples nearly chapped from breast feeding; and it seemed to only get harder.

On this day, there was not a thing you could do to sooth your precious little angel. With each tear, cry and wail, your heart continued to break. She had eaten, she had been changed and there was still nothing you could do. You had just finished a soothing lavender bath with her when the sound of the door opening broke through the cries. Leonard had finally finished his shift. You must have given him a face just as sad as your daughter’s, because the moment he laid eyes on you he filled with worry.

“Y/N?” He asked and came over, gently pressing his hand on the small of your back. “How long has she been upset?” He asked and you let out a soft sigh before leaning into his hand.

“Since you left this morning.” You said and she let out another wail. This wail was desperate, and the sound alone made your eyes fill with tears as you continued to rock her slowly from side to side.

“Hey, hey, hey. Hand her over. I will try to work some magic.” He said and slowly started to lift the little bundle out of your arms. You hesitated, you hated not holding her when she was having a meltdown. He scooped her up and held her head in the crook of his elbow. “Go get some tea, change into something comfortable and try to relax. Go” He continued before he nudged you gently and you nodded. You changed into clothing that was comfortable but concealed the changing shape of your body. You quickly walked through the door and stood for a moment in the hall.

You looked shocked as you saw sympathetic looks from people passing by, but then quickly realized that they could hear her wails as well. You walked quickly to the mess hall to get something to snack on, trying to ignore the cries that pulled at your heart strings.

After a few moments to gather yourself you came back to your door, and heard nothing. Relief seeped from your heart, down your spine and into the furthest reaches of your body. You blinked as ache suddenly filled your back and arm muscles. How long had you been so sore?

Quietly you entered the room, only to have your heart melt at the sight in front of you. Bones had sat on the couch near your small window that looked out at the space that surrounded the ship. He had his knees pulled up and she laying back on them, watching him. A smile spread across your face as you heard the most wonderful sound. He was singing to her. He switched from singing classic rock, to lullabies. Jim would be so proud. You stood still and watched as the love of your life was occupied with soothing your daughter. After a few moments, she was sound asleep. Bones looked up to see you which caused a blush crept up his neck to his cheeks.

“You are the most amazing father and husband” You whispered as you made your way over to the pair. He beamed and moved to cradle her in his arm again then wrapped and arm around you so you could snuggle to his side.

“I am lucky to have a wife and daughter to make me the best man I could be.” He said and kissed your temple. You relaxed again and reached to gently take Violet’s hand. You looked up at him to see him looking at him lovingly at you. “I love you so much Y/N” you giggled quietly in response.
