CHAPTER 1: The sky's awake so I'm awake

BOOTH'S POV-

"Dad, Bones it's Christmas" cries my ecstatic eleven-year-old son. I feel my partner Temperance Brennan roll over and face Parker. She smiles at my son and sits up in bed.

Bones looks at Parker "Hey Parker I know you are excited about Christmas but we can open your presents after you wake your sister and Sweets" she tells him.

Parker starts to head out the door but first turns around and hugs Brennan. "Merry Christmas Bones" he says.

She smiles and hugs him back "Merry Christmas to you too Parker" she tells him. Parker just smiles and runs off into the other room on a quest to wake up Christine and Sweets.

Brennan had always been really close to Parker ever since she met him back in 2005 when he was a little four year old; even though she denied any such interest in children she showed a certain amount of affection towards Parker. He loved her too, a bit like a second mother. When Parker was younger he'd always want to go around and visit 'Dr Bones' apartment. He even suggested that we should become girlfriend and boyfriend because he liked Brennan so much.

Well he didn't have to wish that anymore because soon enough Brennan fell pregnant and we had a little baby girl named Christine Angela after Brennan's mother and Brennan's best friend. Parker then became a big brother and he loves his little sister a lot. They are now best friends and do everything together even if it just playing Minecraft on Parker's iPad.

Brennan rolls over to face me a smile on her face. "I really love your little boy Booth" she tells me "Anthropologically speaking stepchildren don't commonly get along with their step parent but Parker and I have a very efficient step mother-step son relationship which is really quite good" she continues.

I smile "Yes Bones very efficient but it would be even better if you started speaking English," I laugh.

Brennan just looks confused "I am speaking English, I can speak six different languages two of which you haven't even heard of," she replies giving me the common I'm so smart Brennan look.

I just roll my eyes and hug Brennan.

Bones then gets out of bed and stands up revealing her pyjamas. She looked daggy but hot in an old black camisole and a pair of long flannel pants with a floral design. She then slips on an aqua blue dressing gown over her shoulders. Her hair was still messy from bed and she was smiling.

I stand up and pull on a dressing gown over my bare chest and we both head out into the hall.

Bones looks at me in a guilty way "Booth I feel really bad that Sweets has to sleep on the sofa" says Brennan.

I smile at her "Sweets is a forensic psychologist he can survive one night on a sofa" I tell her "Rebecca says that she wants me to drop Parker off today and that will mean Sweets gets Parker's bed back tonight" I tell her.

Bones nods. The reason Sweets was over in the first place was because he was about to move in with his girlfriend Daisy when they broke up abruptly. Sweets gave her the apartment leaving him to sleep in his office. I felt bad so I let him stay over at Brennan and my house. He was a good free babysitting service and I didn't mind keeping him around. Well at least when his shrink juice wasn't in the fridge.

"Dr Brennan, Booth" cries Sweets he walks over to us carrying Christine in his arms.

Parker runs up beside him "Bones, dad, Uncle Sweets says that we can go downstairs and open our gifts now, Christine and I both want you to come and watch" he tells us.

I smile at my son and just nod.

Sweets smiles at Bones and I "Sorry guys the kids jumped on me on the couch determined to open their gifts" laughs Sweets.

I smile and shrug "They're kids what more do you expect" I reply.

I watch Parker run down the staircase clearly excited. Sweets then puts Christine down on the ground and she runs down after her brother.

I smile at my son. The last time I had him over for Christmas was in 2007 when he ran away and told a police man that his father worked for the FBI and they brought him to me. In the end he ran off because he would rather spend Christmas with his dad then going skiing with his mom and her boyfriend. That was also the year that Brennan and I shared or first kiss since 2004, it wasn't really an affectionate kiss it was just part of a blackmailing scheme by Caroline Julian a federal prosecutor we work with sometimes.

Brennan elbows me "Parker's growing up isn't he?" she whispers so only I could hear.

"Yep, that's gonna be our little Christine soon" I reply "Life goes way too quick"
