AN: I don't own Bones. Okay time for an Australian story. I'm Australian so I thought why not bring my favourite people in the world here? They are going to visit all of my favourite places and shops so if you're Australian you might recognise some shopping chains. If you're not feel free to PM me with questions. Happy reading!
PROLOGUE
BRENNAN'S POV-
"Okay Parker I have just ironed your shirt, Christine I still have to pack your clothes and Booth do you have the plane tickets?" I cry as I walk down the upstairs hallway of my house.
"The plane tickets are here somewhere, wait no I think they are in the car" Booth replies as he hurries towards the garage door.
"Mommy do you have my toy ducky?" Christine cries.
"Thanks for ironing my shirt. Can you pack it?" questions Parker.
I heave a sigh and fold Parker's blue polo shirt. I pack it into his suitcase and zip it up.
You may be wondering what the rush is. Well we are going on a holiday to Adelaide, Australia. We tried to book it for Sydney so we could see the Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge but it was al booked out. We ended up booking an apartment in a city called Adelaide, which was okay since the kids only seemed to care about shopping and eating instead of sightseeing.
We are set to meet Sweets, Daisy and their four-month-old son at the airport. We booked the trip over one dinner party with them so they are coming to Adelaide with us.
I turn around just in time to see Booth running in through the hall.
"Babe please tell me you know where the plane tickets are. I can't find them in the car or in the house or my bedroom drawer"
I heave a sigh "You have to find them Booth. I'm busy with Christine's clothes at the moment" I reply as I fold a small pink t-shirt up.
My husband shakes his head "Maybe they are in the shed…"
I turn to reply but before I can say a word he is gone out the back door.
I continue packing Christine's toys before dragging her pink suitcase down the hall.
"Mommy, mommy Parker says that Australia is all desert and bushes and stuff is he lying?" I hear Christine's vioce as she hurries into the hallway.
I shake my head, people always thought that Australia was a desert; we were going to Adelaide which was a city.
"No sweetie we are going to a city and staying in an apartment" I reply with a smile.
"Good because I don't like yucky country sides"
I smile at the young girl and watch as she hurries into the other room.
I let out a low sigh and glance out of the window to see a flustered Booth running out of the shed. I had to find those tickets or we'd be staying here. This was going to be one long holiday.
DAISY'S POV-
"Baby do you have the plane tickets?" I ask my boyfriend as I stroll into the bedroom that we shared in our apartment.
I watch as he turns to face me. I see that he was still cradling our six-month-old son Seeley. The little baby gurgles to himself as he his father rocks him back and forth.
Lance turns to face me and holds out Seeley.
"Hey you want to see mommy don't you?" he laughs and he drops the baby into my arms.
I smile at my son but turn back to his father.
"The plane tickets, I just got a text from Brennan saying that Booth had lost their tickets and I was hoping that my man was more organised then hers"
Sweets embraces me and I feel him kissing my neck.
"They're in my CD shelf babe, you know how organised I am" he laughs.
"CD shelf?" I ask puzzled "Why?"
Sweets rolls his eyes "I picked them up from the travel agency just after I grabbed some new CD's"
"Why don't you just buy them on iTunes like everyone else?"
I watch my boyfriend sigh, most likely at my ignorance, "Some people just buy music virtually and only have them on their iTunes libraries but I'm smarter then that. I own them in real life, they are mine, and I get a little booklet and plastic casing. One day CD's are going to die out they are going to be worth something. You may call me old fashioned but I call it retro…and smart"
He did overthink things. I look down at my son and see the resemblance between him and Lance. I could just see him buying CD's just like his daddy and that thought really made me smile.
Okay diapers, bottles, Onesies. What else do I need? I was packing Seeley's clothing and supplies into a bag considering that we had to be at the airport in less then two hours.
I glance down at one of the Onesies. It was covered in a recurring baby duck print and I remembered Lance and I buying it together. From the day I told my boyfriend that I was pregnant I knew that he would be the best daddy ever. I had seen him with Christine and Michael and he loved those little kids to pieces.
"Here they are" I hear a voice and turn around to see Lance entering our son's room clutching plane tickets "They were right next to my brand new CD"
I take them from him and smile "Great Lancelot, you are very organised"
I plant a kiss on his lips before strolling out of Seeley's room in order to finalise Lance and my baggage.
I was beginning to get excited about Australia. I was almost certain that we'd have a lot of family fun in a totally different country.
AN: Hope you enjoyed that chapter. I hope to post more and remember I can answer questions!
