I don't own Bones.

Ooooooooooooooooooooo

Angela's father had been injured in a car accident. In London. Within the hour, Angela had been called by her father's publicist to let her know about the accident. Jim Reed had assured Angela that her father was doing alright and that the only reason he was calling her was because he didn't want her to hear about the accident on the news.

Fearing that the whole thing was being underplayed, Angela started to worry and woke up Jack to let him know what was going on. Angela wanted go to London to check on her father; but, she had a six week old son to take care of. Angela felt that Michael was too young to be put through the stress of a long plane flight overseas. Hodgins had volunteered to stay home and take care of Michael; but, Angela really wanted Jack to come with her to London, if she went at all.

Trying to decide what to do, both decided that if they could find someone to babysit Michael for a few days, then it would be possible for both of them to go.

Calling around, Angela found that Cam was free; but, Michele had a bad case of the flu and Cam didn't want to expose Michael to that virus. Angela then tried to call Brennan; but, she wasn't answering her phone. Angela had considered calling Daisy and or Sweets; but, Jack said it would be over his dead body before he allowed those kids to take care of his son. Worried, Angela looked at Jack and said, "What about Booth? He has a son. He knows how to take care of a baby."

Shaking his head, Hodgins said, "Seriously? You want to ask Booth to babysit?"

Smiling, Angela said, "Why not? He could just look after Michael until he could contact Brennan. He could then give Michael to Brennan and that would be that. Brennan has said that if we ever needed someone to look after Michael, she would be very happy to do it. Come on, Booth won't mind and neither will Brennan."

Worried, Hodgins said, "OK, I guess. Let me call Booth and see if he knows where Dr. B is first. Maybe we won't have to ask him to babysit."

oooooooooooooooooo

Booth had just gone to sleep when his phone rang. Rolling over he answered the phone after the first ring.

"Booth."

Hodgins, hearing a sleepy Booth, cleared his throat and said, "Uh, Booth. This is Hodgins. Angela and I have a family emergency. Do you know where Dr. B is?"

Sighing, Booth said, "Wait a minute. Let me go into the other room. I think I hear someone at the door."

Getting out of bed, Booth walked into the living room, closing the bedroom door behind him and sat down on his couch. "Ok, false alarm. No one at the door. Now, what do you want?"

Hodgins cleared his throat again and said, "I need to find Dr. B. We need to ask her if she can look after Michael for a few days. Do you know where she is?"

Closing his eyes and leaning back against the couch, Booth asked, "I don't know where Bones is. Why ask me?"

"Come on, man," Hodgins said, "You always know where Dr. B is. I really need to talk to her about looking after Michael for a few days."

"Look Hodgins," Booth said, "I'm Bones's partner not her keeper. I don't know where she is. It's midnight, call her phone and leave a message."

"Uh, look, Booth" Hodgins said, "Is there anyway we can leave Michael with you? You could keep him until you find Dr. B. If you can't find her, you would only have to look after Michael tonight. You could then put him in daycare tomorrow morning and that would give you plenty of time to find Dr. B and tell her what's going on."

Shaking his head, Booth asked, "Are you that desperate that you have to ask me to look after Michael? Can't you find anyone else?"

Believing that honesty always works best when dealing with Booth, Hodgins said, "We are desperate. We don't have anyone else to call right now. If you won't do it then Angela won't be able to go see her father. He was in a car accident this evening and Angela's very worried. You know, besides me and the baby, all she has left in the world is her father."

Sighing, Booth said, "Well as long as I'm the last person you could call, I guess it will be alright. I just don't want you to think that I'm a handy babysitter whenever you need one."

"No, no, Booth. We don't think that at all. We are absolutely desperate and really, really need you to do this for us."

Nodding his head, Booth said, "OK. I'll wait up until you get here. Just remember, I don't have any baby stuff. Bring what you think Michael will need. I'll try to find Bones tomorrow morning and see if she can watch over him."

Happy and worried at the same time, Hodgins said, "Thanks, Booth. We're on our way."

Ending his call, Booth closed his eyes again and thought, "Gee, I can't wait."

Oooooooooooooooooooooooo
