This was shaping up to be Seeley Booth's best Christmas yet he was spending Christmas with the love of his life , they had a baby on the way and the mighty hut was finished enough for them to spend their first Christmas in. Booth had brought over all his boxes of decorations and began to unpack them and decorate the house. Brennan was at the lab working, but she'd promised Booth that she would be home early and they'd order Thai and decorate the monstrosity of a tree Booth had insisted they get. A few hours later Brennan made her way inside.
"Bones, stop right there and look up…"
Brennan looked up and smiled at the sprig of mistletoe hung in the doorjamb of the front door. "You put mistletoe up."
"Yep." Booth gently kissed Brennan. "I love you, Bones. Merry Christmas."
"I love you too, Booth. Merry Christmas. I'm going to go change then we can eat and decorate the tree."
"Sounds perfect to me, Bones. I'll order do you want your usual?"
"Yes, with extra peanut sauce."
"Got it."
Brennan noticed another sprig of mistletoe in the archway between the kitchen and living room and above the stairs. "Booth, did you hang mistletoe in every doorway and archway in the house?"
"Yes and in a few other places too so I can kiss you as often as I want." Brennan shook her head and accepted Booth's kiss.
"You know I still have that sprig of mistletoe form the kiss Caroline coerced me into giving you."
"Their wasn't much coercion needed was there?"
"No…"
"I'm glad." Booth kissed Brennan again before she headed upstairs. A few minutes later Brennan yelled from upstairs "Really, Booth, you hung mistletoe in the shower?"
"Yep that's gonna be my favorite one! Merry Christmas, Bones!
