So I have been an avid Bones watcher for about 2 years and I though it was finally time I wrote a fic about it. Also I've been in the Christmas spirit, so you lucky people get not only a brand new Bones story but a Christmas story as well. You lucky ducks!
Notes: This story is a group of one shots (18 to be exact) that revolve around BB's daughter, named Emma in this story, and her first 18 Christmas, yes they will go in order and each one will have a new "focus" get it? Have any questions feel free to drop a question either in my inbox or as part of your review. Enjoy (:

A look at Emma Booth's first 18 Christmas
Year 1
She didn't remember a thing about her first Christmas, neither could her brother Charlie, but her mom and dad remembered everything about her first Christmas. Charlie was 3 and had all the "big presents" Booth and Brennan had splurged a little that year, now that he was old enough to voice his opinions, but they didn't leave out Emma. She had gotten a baby bouncer, a few outfits and a mobile, that spun and played music.
Emma was fascinated with the foreign object, once her mother placed it in her outstretched hand she wouldn't let go. The mobile stayed in her chubby hand until Russ, Max, Amy and the girls arrived for dinner.
Charlie was a ball of energy bouncing around excitedly telling his uncle and grandfather about the bike his parents had given him and all the things he played with for. Russ was having a hard time keeping up. Amy and Brennan were drinking wine talking about what Amy had gotten the girls for Christmas, Haley had received an iPod while Lily, the older one, had received a new cell phone, Haley was 13 and Lily was 15.
The only person not focused on the company was Booth, he was in the living room on the couch, holding Emma, watching her giggle every time the mobile spun or made a new sound she hadn't heard yet. The sight of his daughter getting so excited about such a simple item made Booth happy.
Once dinner was ready Emma was forced to let go of her mobile so she could sit and eat dinner with everyone else in her high chair. As soon as her father could pry the object out of her hand she let out a shrill cry that made the whole family look at the little girl.
Booth and Brennan shared a look and Charlie stared back and forth between his parents, none of them knowing what to do. Emma just sat in her father's arms screaming, her face turning red and her hands balled up in little fists. Brennan on a moment of pure desperation grabbed Emma and put her into her new bouncer that was set up in the doorway between the kitchen and the dinning room, and gave her back her mobile.
As soon as it was in her hand the sobs reduced to sniffles and her face started to return to it's normal color. Emma soon was giggling, enthusiastically bouncing up and down. The whole family breathed a sigh of relief, including Charlie, even though he didn't know why.
So for the rest of dinner Emma sat bouncing playing with her mobile.
"She can eat later." Booth whispered to Brennan and both looked at their daughter, identical smiles playing on their lips.
