Dr. Brennan sat across from Daisy and eyed her intern wearily as she talked.
Booth looked pleadingly at Sweets, telepathically begging the young psychologist to shut his girlfriend up. Lance shrugged. Daisy had this bug up her but since last week there was no stopping her.
She'd found out he was meeting Booth and Bones for lunch and literally begged to come to The Royal Diner with him. She'd even said she'd pay. He had consented of course, there was something about her annoying charm that always got to him.
When he tuned back into the conversation he found that she had finally gotten to the point.
"So Lance and I wanted to know if you two wanted to go camping with us. And I know you're pregnant but it's not real camping it's a cabin on the lake and it would only be a 30 minute drive to the nearest hospital and probably less if Booth brought the FBI car with the lights and the sirens." She took one of her trademark deep breaths after her long run on sentences and smiled.
"While a vacation doesn't sound like a bad idea," Booth tried to find a delicate way to say he didn't want to go. Temperance cut him off.
"A vacation with you would hardly be a vacation, Ms. Wick!" Typical, Brennan had no tact. Sweets had seen this coming a mile away, it was the main reason he had tried to dissuade Daisy from even asking. He should have had more faith in Daisy's ever optimistic mind set and inability to interpret negative remarks, however.
"I know that hanging out with people from work can make it seem like you never left but since we're a couple and now you're a couple I thought –"
"That wasn't what I meant at all. What I'm saying is –"
"What Bones is trying to say, Daisy," Booth cut her off giving her the same look that he always gave her when she was about to do or say something that would be considered socially unacceptable. She shrugged and went back to her French fries. "is that don't you two want your privacy? There are bound to be things you want to do that you might not want us to see…or hear…eh?"
"No," Daisy smiled, ever perky and violently shook her head, "It won't be an issue, Lance's grandfather owns the property and there are five cabins. We'd be, like, 2 miles away by sunset. It's in the heart of Appalachia and Lance said the lake should be frozen solid by now, we could skate and build snow men and really bond as a team! Oh, maybe Angela and Hodgins would like to come and then it would be all the couples! Angela and Hodgins with the baby and you two with the baby on the way and Lancelot and I just trying to make one!" she cuddled up to Lance who shifted awkwardly at the comment. "Although not literally," she corrected herself.
"Yeah," Sweets thought inwardly rolling his eyes, "that was the part that was making me uncomfortable, not the open mention of us having sex." Daisy was more socially awkward then Brennan sometimes.
"Alright, Ms. Wick," Bones smirked, "If Angela and Hodges agree to go, so will I"
"And if she agrees to go, I have to," Booth smiled, noting that Bones was somewhat more conniving then he gave her credit for. Angela and Hodges would never agree to go out into the woods with those two. They were totally safe.
