Okay so this is my first attempt at writing a Bones story so apologies if I'm a little off with the characters. I have written plenty of Girls Aloud - mainly Cheryl Cole/Simon Cowell - themed stories/one shots over on GirlsAloudMedia, so hopefully that will have helped my writing over the past couple of months and that this isn't as bad as I think it is! Also as I live in England and have done since I was born I'm apologsing if I use any phrases or words that are very English sounding or if I spell something the English way. If something doesn't make sense or you don't know what I mean feel free to ask me and I'll be more than happy to explain.

Disclaimer: I own 206 bones but unfortunately none of them include Emily Deschanel or David Boreanaz.

Brennan sighed as she rubbed her temple; the current case was taking its toll on her. There was no clear evidence, no one had reported the victim missing and after a week they were no closer to solving it. The case file remained open on her desk. Female. Late twenties to early thirties. Five foot three. Caucasian. That was it. There was no name, no exact date of birth, nothing. It was like the woman had never existed, no one seemed to care about her and for that small fact Brennan felt awfully sorry for the young woman who had been taken from the planet far too soon.

"Bren honey, I've done the best I can with the facial reconstruction but Junior in here wouldn't keep still" Angela explained as she rubbed her expanding stomach, "I'll go over it in the morning when I've had some sleep"

Brennan ran a hand through her auburn curls before standing up and following Angela into her office, she smiled when she saw two dark haired little girls asleep on her couch covered in a patchwork blanket. Katherine Temperance Hodgins was the spitting image of her artistic mother whereas Imogen Camille Hodgins had merely inherited her mother's dark glossy hair and the rest was all her father.

"Ange, leave this until tomorrow. Take the girls home and get some rest" Brennan spoke softly as she continued to watch the youngsters snuggling up under the blanket. Angela turned around in mock shock at the instruction she had been given from her best friend.

"Thanks sweetie, is Studly coming to get you?" Angela asked as the two eased the girls into their arms and wandered out into the parking lot. Brennan nodded as she held Katherine tightly in her arms, the little girl snuggled into the crook of her neck and her long hair tickled Brennan's bare shoulder. She placed her in the car seat in Angela's car with great ease without waking her.

"I'll see you tomorrow" Brennan announced as she hugged Angela softly before backing away to allow her room to reverse out of the space and off into the night.

She turned around, ready to get her bag from in her office and call Booth letting him know she was finished for the night but to her surprise he was stood right under the light with her bag clasp in his hand. He gave her that all familiar grin and Brennan couldn't help but walk that little bit faster over to his welcoming arms.

Booth placed a quick kiss on her lips as he enveloped her into a much needed hug, "how did you know I was done?" she pondered more to herself than actually needing an answer, "and who has Parker and the girls? It's a school night Booth; I hope they're not in the car. Being awake at this time of night would considerable damage their brains and there is a bigger chance they will be uncooperative tomorrow and their concentration levels would be deeply affected which would result in lower achievement and..." she was stopped mid rant by Booth's lips crashing onto hers once more.

"Bones calm down. The kids are at home, all tucked up nicely in bed with your dad keeping watch until we get back" he smiled as he placed his hand in the small of her back and led them to his car.

B&B&B&B

When Booth finally pulled onto the drive he smiled at the place they called home. Their house marvelled anywhere else he had ever lived and he hoped they would never have to leave it. It was in a perfect spot to raise their seemingly ever growing family, the Hoover building and the Jeffersonian were no further than twenty minutes away, the Middle School for Parker was a mere ten minute walk and the preschool for the girls was just as close. It was ideal; it was everything that anyone could ever wish for. Booth felt like his dreams had all come true whenever he ventured through their white front door and deep into their home.

"Tempe honey, you shouldn't be working so hard. What if I was a regular pensioner who liked to be asleep at one in the morning? Or what if I..." Max started to ramble when the couple walked through the front door, closing it as gently as possible.

"You mean what if you were actually a convicted criminal who prefers to be up at night as you are used to staying awake in order to protect yourself from the various members of society who wanted you dead?" Temperance smirked before she threw her bag on the sofa, "some imagination I've got there, right Dad?"

"Hey! Be nice, I'm still your old man and without me around you would be forced to finish work at a normal time. Isn't that right Booth?" Max questioned whilst gathering his coat off the overloaded rail. Booth shrugged his shoulders, deciding to himself that it was too late to be starting this argument again, "since when did my son in law become an ass-kisser?" Max joked as he was ushered out the front door, "all I'm saying Tempe is that you had Leah not even four months ago, think about taking some time off is all I'm suggesting"

B&B&B&B

"Do you think my dad's right?" Brennan asked, gently running her fingers up and down her husband's arm as they lay in bed. Her head resting on his chest and his arm draped supportively over her stomach.

"About what Bones?"

"That I should spend less time in the lab and more at home?" she sighed and Booth felt the awkwardness rise in the room momentarily. He knew they both worked ridiculous hours and it was something they had discussed in great length before they embarked on their romantic journey, long before marriage and children were even considered.

"Maybe you should, I don't know though Bones. It's up to you but I think the kids would appreciate having their mom around more and I know Jack and Ange would love for you to finish earlier so that they can go home and be with their family too. Everything you do alters the life and times of everyone else remember? If you stay working then so do Cam, Jack, Angela and whoever else is clocked on. I know I'd be grateful to have you home more" he offered up his thoughts on the debate without actually giving her a yes or no answer but Brennan had interpreted his view in a typically one sided manner.

"So you want me to spend more time at home? With you and the kids?" she asked after a few moments of silence.

Booth shuffled in the bed so that his head was propped up by his arm leaning on the pillow and stared into Brennan's blue eyes before taking a deep breath, "You know it Baby" he smirked and gave her his infamous smile.

"I'll speak to Cam tomorrow as I also feel I am missing out on important changes in our family and especially if I miss something to do with any of the children. I'll try to make it so I have specific working hours, maybe take a few hours off in the afternoon when everyone is home from school then go back in at night. I don't know how that would work though or how everyone else would feel about it or even if we'd be able to solve cases or gather enough evidence" she worried as her mind worked overtime like it usually did when she began to think something too hard.

"Bones, go to sleep. It's way too late to think of all this and I've gotta take Parks to his game in the morning. We'll figure something out"

Hopefully you've made it through the beginning of that and are now reading my pathetic attempt to get reviews :')

But anyway I'd love a little review so I know how my first attempt at writing a Bones fanfic went!
