The first one is about the first Christmas since Brennan's and Christine's return
Chapter One- The perfect gift
BB
It was a cold Saturday winter morning and three weeks until Christmas. Booth was all excited because this was going to be his first Christmas with Brennan and Christine, along with Parker. So today he decided to get on the ball and get some Christmas shopping done. He wouldn't buy for Christine and Parker because he made Brennan promise they would do that together. So while on lunch break, while Brennan was busy with their latest case, Booth decided to look for her Christmas gift.
Last year for Christmas, he just purchased their house right before the holiday, so Booth did not get Brennan a very expensive gift. Instead he had bought her silver dolphin earrings with a matching ring that she could pass onto their daughter. Of course being a month before their daughter was due, Brennan's hormones were crazy and she cried over the gift. But Booth knew if she was not even pregnant Brennan would have still cried. But this year had to be special. His family had been back for almost two months and looking for that perfect gift for his "Bones" was going to be difficult. So after deep thought he knew what the perfect gift for Brennan would be.
After leaving his office, he arrived at the Jeffersonian and gave Brennan a quick visit and kiss. Then Booth headed home to get what he needed then meet Angela at the Royal Diner. He handed over what she needed and gave each other a smile. Then after twenty minutes talking about the latest case and how Brennan was going to love her Christmas this year, the friends said good bye and went their separate ways. Booth could not wait until Christmas Eve to give Brennan he present and see her reaction.

Christmas Eve…
The small Booth family was sitting on the floor around the Christmas tree about ready to open one gift before the kids went to bed. Christine sat on Parkers lap and Brennan sat in-between Booth's leaning her head against his chest. They were laughing at Christine antics earlier on how right before they sat down, because she kept crawling to the tree trying to rip open all the presents but Parker would grab her waist and told her "I don't think so." Christine would collapse and start giggling like crazy. Then seeing her family laugh she would try it again.
Finally having Christine settled sitting on Parker, he began to help her open her very first Christmas present. Once the present was opened, it was a little computer that taught babies shapes, colors, numbers, and the alphabet. Christine was just excited over the box because she did was bang on it. Which made everyone laugh some more. Then Parker opened a gift from his dad and Brennan, which was a set of build-yourself helicopters. Then Parker made sure his dad and so called step-mom opened a present from him for the both of them. It happened to be a present Parker built himself. It was mobilized cubed picture frame with pictures of all four of them.
After a hour trying to get Christine interested in her computer and failing, she was getting tired so Brennan put her to bed. So Booth and Parker went to the living room to catch the last Forty-five minutes of the fifth hour of the marathon of A Christmas Story. Then Brennan joined them twenty minutes later after Christine fell asleep.
Once the movie was over Parker decided to get a good night sleep since Christmas was going to be a very busy day according to Booth. So Booth and Brennan sat on the sofa after finding A Miracle on Thirty-Fourth Street after Booth flipped through some channels. Brennan made a comment on how this movie reminded her of their case that involved Santa Claus. In a twisted way to Booth he could only agree. But as the first commercial came on, Booth excused himself telling Brennan he had to use the bathroom. At that moment though Booth made sure his girlfriend was not looking and snuck back over to the Christmas tree and grabbed her present from him.
The movie was back on and Brennan was getting worried that Booth was still in the bathroom maybe got sick. But then she heard some one in the kitchen , so Brennan got up to investigate. Once she entered she saw Booth opening some wine and then saw a present on the counter. She knew he was up to something.
"Booth what are doing?" Brennan asked as Booth looked up at her in surprise. "Not to sneaking am I?" he said with his apologetic smile. Brennan shook her head and smiled right back, then walked over to him and they gave each other a small kiss on the lips. "Booth, you did not answer my question?" Brennan wanted to know so she asked again, "What are you doing?" Booth chuckled, and placed a hand on Brennan's cheek, then kissed it. "Well I was trying to be romantic. But you caught me. So if you want me to continue Bones you can go back to the living room and pretend you saw nothing. Or you can stay in here with me and don t let me be romantic to my girlfriend and share a glass of wine and open your gift." Brennan kissed him back on the lips and responded, "Booth I know you and I will let you be romantic. So I will go back to the living room." Booth smiled, "Good because I have a whole speech and stuff." Brennan laughed because Booth was acting very strange but went along with his behavior and went back to the living room.
Couple minutes later Booth arrived into the living room with a tray that had two glasses and a bottle of wine on it along with Brennan's gift. Booth was smiling as he saw his Bones trying to pay attention to the movie but he knew her mind was somewhere else and his guess she was trying to figure out what he was up to.
Booth sat the tray down then sat next to Brennan, then snapped his fingers in front of her. " Earth to Bones, you in there," Booth said lightly tapping his finger on her head. Once Brennan heard Booth and felt his finger on the side of her head, she attention was back to Booth. She looked up and smiled at Booth. That smile made Booth smile back and kiss the woman he loved.
Once the kiss was over, they leaned their foreheads together to linger in the moment a little longer, and then Brennan spoke up. "Well Booth?" Booth sat straight back as did Brennan and he handed her a glass of wine. Once she began to take a sip Booth decided was the best time to say his "romantic speech". Booth took Brennan's free hand and intertwined it was his and began. "Bones , I love you but knowing you will try to interupt me, but just listen to me and after I am done you can put your two cents worth I okay." Booth looked deep into Brennan's eyes and he knew she understood. "Okay Booth, even though it might be hard, but I will sit here and listen."
So Booth began," Bones seven years ago I found out why you don't like Christmas. Ever since I have tried to get you like Christmas once more and always tried to give you the perfect gift. But after the years you still did not like Christmas and always tried to flee around that time of year. Then I thought it would have changed when Max came back into your life, but that did not change anything either. But somewhere your feelings for Christmas seemed to change a little. I could tell when I stood outside lighting that little Christmas tree for you. Even thought we were from a distance but I knew you were smiling. Then the year your dad wanted to host Christmas, I knew you would not do it unless I came. Then we went our separate ways and everything changed. And the biggest mistake that year I did not listen to my heart and was with Hannah and almost lost my best friend. When she left, I got my best friend back. Even though we were both ready to be together I was still angry and you were still scared. But when Vincent died in our arms, something pushed those feelings away and brought us together. That next morning we created the most beautiful girl ever. And when you told me you were pregnant three weeks later with Christine, my life felt complete. Things were finally right between us. I mean the woman I have loved for years was having my baby and she was ready to be in love with me. Then that Christmas you were five weeks away giving birth but I was still determined for us to have a wonderful Christmas together. Even though it was just mainly us on Christmas eve and day, you finally had something to look forward to. You were getting a second chance to love Christmas again because you had a child on the way and I know you Bones, you would always make sure she would have a great time this time of the year. Then January 26th, you gave birth to our baby girl in a barn, which was kinda ironic still to this day. But I had no clue five months later, you and Christine would be out of my life for a whole three months. There was some days we would miss our first Christmas together with our daughter. But then you came back with every bodies help, but things were different between us. We still love each other, and we are still working on us. But we also fixing us. Bones those three months did a number on us, but we are holding and always will. You two have been back for two months and I have my daughter-daddy time back and I have the most wonderful woman back in my life. I could not ask for a better partner. Your beautiful, too smart, funny, sexy, frustrating, loving, caring, amazing, but that makes you who you are. And to me you are always be my Bones. "
Before Booth could continue, he was being kissed by Brennan. It was a very passionate kiss at that. Then next thing Booth knew he was laying on his back with his arms around Brennan's waist. He was kissing her back by then, but soon they both needed air. Once they did, Booth finally continued looking up at Brennan's face. "Wow woman, I must be doing a good job with my romantic side?" All Brennan could do was nod, so Booth finished his speech. "Okay good, but I have anymore interruptions, I will finish saying what I need to say. Anyways you are and always be my Bones. Also having my family back for Christmas, I had to make sure it was our best first Christmas. As you see on the tray is your gift. And I know it will be one of many perfect gifts that I have given you through the years and many more to come. Bones this gift is something you can pass on to Christine and something you two can always do together. More or less when you start to miss your mom or our daughter have questions about our family." Booth grabbed the gift and handed it to Brennan as she gave him a confused look. "You can open it now Bones." At this time they both sat up on the sofa and Brennan slowly opening the gift as once in awhile looking at Booth. But all Booth could do was smile.
Once the gift was open it contained a cd/dvd disc with the tittle "For Bones and Stapes." Then on top of the cover for the disc was a flash drive taped to it. Then Brennan looked up at Booth still confused, so Booth decided to say something. "Bones, the last couple months I have noticed you have been watching you moms video a lot with Christine, so I asked Angela and Max a favor. Angela transferred the video onto a DVD and that flash drive. I asked her that so just in case the video anyway got ruined or anything like that, and also its safe on that drive so you will always have it. Then I asked Max if there was anyway he could get old pictures of your mother and family photos. Lets just say he pulled through. Oh and I found a couple things too. So after you watch the video of your mom, there is a surprise at the end."
Booth saw tears in Brennan's eyes, so he gave her a hug. Brennan then decided to say something after hugging the man she loved, "Booth this is gift... this gift means a lot to me. If it was not for you I would still dislike Christmas and probably be somewhere off on a dig. Only you Booth are the perfect gift for Christmas even though that does not seem logic but somehow it makes sense to me. And Booth if you don't mind I rather not cry this evening, instead I rather show my appreciation towards you. After opening gifts, eating breakfast, and while you are at church services with Parker and Christine, I will watch it." Brennan stood up after lying down the disk and flash drive and help her hand out to Booth. "Well Agent Booth are you coming to bed so I can give you one of your gifts?" Booth stood up quickly and matched Brennan's smile and followed up to their bedroom to enjoy the rest of their Christmas eve.

The next morning after opening the rest of the presents and having a huge breakfast, Brennan changed her mind and decided to go to church service with her family. She also reminded Booth there was no way possible the building was going to burn down or anything irrational because of her attendance. So after service, the family had a light lunch as they all sat down to watch the dvd Booth gave Brennan. It was Brennan's suggestion to watch it as a family. Plus Parker wanted to see what Brennan's mom was like. So Parker sat on next to his dad as Brennan sat closes to the the television with Christine on her lap.
As the video played, Christine's first response was "Nana!" and everyone was in awe that Christine knew that was her grandmother. But after the video was over Brennan had tears rolling down her face like she always did after seeing her mother in the video. But what surprised her the most was a little slid show of old photos of her mother and family photos when her and Russ were younger. Then the last photo was the news article when Brennan won the science fair.
Brennan let Christine off her lap as Parker took her to her room to play with her new toys after the dvd came to an end. He thought it would be appropriate for Brennan to have some alone time with his dad after seeing her crying. Parker hardly ever saw his so called step mom cry, it was always a rare moment.
Once Booth saw Parker take Christine upstairs, he gave Brennan another minute to collect herself. Once she did Booth got up and knelt beside her and asked, "You okay Bones?" She nodded and responded, "Yes Booth, just I could have not asked for a better gift, its perfect.!"
