The first one is set about 2018, and deals with Katy - B&B's eldest daughter -being ill.

Katy was fussing all night and had woken up about four times. So when she came down for breakfast the next morning, she had watery eyes and she found it hard to talk her throat was throbbing so much.

"You're sick Katy." Booth said taking a sip of his coffee.

"I'm not sick." She croaked back. She didn't want to be sick. Not today of all days. Her grade was going on a trip to the theater to see a play that Katy had wanted to see for ages. Brennan felt her 6-year-old's head.

"She's burning up." She said walking over to the First Aid box and took out the thermometer. She waited for a minute until she removed it from Katy's mouth. "102.2. I'm sorry but you cannot go into school. You're too ill."

"I'm not." said Katy. It took ten more minutes of arguing before she finally gave in and went back to bed.

"I'll stay home with her today. All I have is paperwork to complete." Booth said. "You don't have to take Harry in; I'll keep an eye on both of them." Harry was at the Jeffersonian day-care while his parents were at work; the same way his sisters were until they were able to start school. Izzie was now in Kindergarten, Katy was in first grade and Parker was in 11th.

"Are you sure because if you have paperwork to complete -"

"Bones, I'll be fine. I've looked after a sick child and a infant before."

"Fine but remember to give her some orange juice and get her to take some medicine." Brennan gave him a kiss goodbye and grabbed Izzie's hand ready to take her to school. Booth went to the fridge and took out the carton of orange juice and poured a glass, went upstairs and entered the girl's room to find Katy tucked up in bed.

"Hey Baby." He said setting the juice on her bedside table. He tucked the sheets around her. "I'm sorry that you couldn't go to your play."

She smiled at him. "It's fine Daddy."

"Ok, I'll bring you up some medicine and then I'll make you your favorite breakfast: scrambled eggs and toast." he went back down stairs, grabbed the bubblegum flavored, chewable, child friendly capsule and took it back up to the bedroom and watched her chew the capsule, before returning to the kitchen and started making her breakfast.

A couple of hours later, Booth had completed the majority of his paperwork and Harry was asleep in the playpen. Booth had detached himself from the table and went upstairs to check on his daughter. He smiled when he saw her asleep, curled up into a ball and sucking her thumb. However her sniper senses that she had inherited off her father were on full alert and she fluttered her eyelids awake and raised her head.

"What time is it?" She asked.

"About 10. Feeling any better?" Booth asked sitting down next to her and feeling her head.

"A little. Throat still hurts."

"Do you want me to get you some hot water and lemon or maybe honey?"

She nodded before drifting off back to sleep. Booth was thankful that she was good with hot liquids with honey or lemon in. But he felt a little guilty that he would have to keep disturbing her just so she would drink it. A couple of minutes later he was back and shook Katy awake and gave her the drink. "Fancy soup for lunch?"

"Chicken noodle please." She said setting the mug next to the cup she had earlier. Booth picked up the glass and the plate and let her go back to sleep for a few more hours so he could finish off the last little bit of paperwork he had left and make lunch.

Booth was stirring the soup when he heard the padding of size 2 feet coming down the stairs and into the living room. He came into the living room and saw her sitting on the couch with a DVD in hand.

"See you are on the mend." He said sitting next to her, feeling her head.

"A bit. I came downstairs because Mommy said we aren't allowed to have soup in our rooms since Parker spilt his all over his bed." She responded.

"Fair point. I'll bring your soup in a moment." He got up and returned with the soup and handed it to her carefully. "Careful it's a little hot." She took a sip and another and very soon it was gone and she had gone over to the DVD player and put in the DVD. "Right so what have you dictated to watch?"

"Wizard of Oz." She said padding back towards the couch and put the blanket over her and lay her head on the pillow, settling to watch the film.

"Are you going to be fine if I just go into the kitchen?"

"Yeah." Booth went back into the kitchen and took the bowl with him. He then returned with a bag of M&Ms.

Later that day everyone had returned home and Katy and Booth were sitting on the couch watching the news, even though she still was a little fidgety.

"Hey." Brennan said sitting next to them. "Did you have fun?"

"Paperwork? The joy of my life." Booth said sarcastically.

"Feeling any better Katy?" Brennan asked her daughter while pulling some of her child's hair out of her face.

"Yeah. I just don't feel comfortable though." Katy answered.

"You still look a little flushed. How much of the medicine have you given her Booth?" Brennan asked her husband.

"About two, one this morning and one at 3." Booth answered. "And she has consumed scrambled eggs, toast, chicken noodle soup and a pack of M&Ms, along with a number of liquids."

"So at least she hasn't starved. What about Harry?"

"He's been alright all day. Barely complained and now he's asleep upstairs."

"Katy do you want to go back to bed?" Brennan asked her daughter.

"Yes please. I'm tired." Katy stood up; Brennan took her hand and took her upstairs. Booth shook his head and returned to the TV screen, only to be poked in the arm by his youngest daughter.

"You okay Iz?" He asked turning to her.

"I'm fine Daddy. Is Katy okay?" She said sitting on his lap.

"She'll be fine. She's just got a tiny bug."

"Ok."

"So did you have a good time at Aunt Angela's?"

"Yeah, me, Kathy and Damon made a Lego swimming pool…"

"So, you are not mad at me for not letting go to school and stopped you going on the trip?" Brennan said, putting a cold cloth on Katy's head.

"No I'm not mad Mommy. It wouldn't have been fair on everyone else if I went and kept coughing throughout the play." Katy replied softly.

"Glad to see you've seen the benefits of staying home when you are sick." Brennan said smiling.

"I don't like being sick."

"I know. I don't like you being sick."

"I'll get better, I promise."

"I know you will. You just need some rest."

"And the special Mommy hugs." Katy wrapped her arms around Brennan's waist and Brennan hugged her back. Gently she lay her back down and kissed her head before opening the music box and turning the light off, leaving Katy in the peace and quiet.
