I'm with you that it was perfect. Things go very wrong when they try too hard on those big moments. I thought the lovely Booth comforting her, then the only real clue we get that something more happened was in her smiling response when Angela asked her about it.
And then we get to use our own imaginations as to whether it was one-time or ongoing since then. Personally, given the way they were acting and the way Max kept noting it, it's been ongoing since then.
It actually felt a little awkward when she said specifically that Booth was the father because, seriously, I think it'd have to be obvious to him he's the only one it could be. But it fits her character to say awkward and rational things AND it was nice to not do the whole "who's the father" bait that XF did (badly), so even though it didn't feel quite right, I think it was a good decision.
Otherwise, I couldn't be happier. They won't have to (badly) try and hide ED's pregnancy, the tension will easily and very-in-character be whether or not they should get married (Booth will totally want to, like YESTERDAY and Bones will be reluctant). But they were willing to take the step, and I hope they prove that relationships CAN be interesting after RST, in the hands of the right writer.
