Booth had drifted back to sleep when he heard a knock on his apartment door. Waking back up, Booth got up from the couch and opened the door. Standing at the door, Booth found Angela, Hodgins and a sleeping Michael in Angela's arms. Standing to the side, he allowed them to enter his apartment.
Looking at Booth, standing next to the door in just his running shorts, Angela smiled and said, "Thanks, Booth. We really appreciate this."
Hodgins, holding several bags in his hands, walked over to the couch and put his bags down. Pointing to the bags, Hodgins said, "I brought everything I think Michael will need for the next week. I put the car seat in your truck before I came up and I also have an envelope of money in the blue bag that you can use to buy whatever you need, just incase I forgot something."
Waking completely up, Booth asked, "A week? Hey, wait a minute. My truck was locked up. How did you get into my truck?"
Blushing Hodgins, said "Uh, yeah. It might be a week and it might be longer. We don't know how bad Angela's father is."
Folding his arms across his chest, Booth said, "You didn't say how you got into my truck."
Seeing that Booth was getting very annoyed, Angela said, "Please Booth. As soon as you find Brennan, she'll take Michael off of your hands. You'll probably only need to watch him tonight. You won't have to watch him for the whole week."
Seeing that Hodgins wasn't going to admit that he broke into his truck, Booth said, "Ok, just leave Michael and go. I want to go back to bed."
Relieved, Hodgins and Angela kissed Michael and then Angela handed Michael over to Booth.
Holding Michael, Booth didn't say anything as Angela and Hodgins left, even though they had said good bye to him twice. "Why make it easy for them?" Booth thought. "If Hodgins thinks I'm going to forget that he broke into my truck, then he's out of his mind."
Looking down at a sleeping Michael in his arms, Booth sighed, opened the bedroom door and walked into his bedroom.
Talking to Michael, Booth said, "You see what crazy parents you have, Michael? Your daddy asks someone to do a favor for him and then he breaks into that someone's truck. A truck owned by the FBI that the someone is responsible for. That's why I gave them such a hard time about babysitting you, in the first place. If I make it too easy for them; I could end up babysitting you whenever they get a wild hair up their"
Waking up, Brennan said, "Who are you talking to Booth?"
Smiling, Booth said, "I'm talking to Michael Hodgins. Hodgins and Angela have a family emergency and asked me to look after Michael. They want me to find you in the morning and talk you into looking after Michael until they get back."
Nodding her head, Brennan said, "Alright." Closing her eyes, Brennan went back to sleep.
Shrugging his shoulders, Booth walked over to the bed and put Michael down on the bed next to Brennan's pillow. Lying down next to him, Booth promptly fell asleep.
Oooooooooooooooooooooo
Michael turned out to be a fairly good baby as far as Booth was concerned. He only woke Booth up twice that night. Considering how young Michael is, Booth expected it to be a whole lot worse. All in all, he thought it was good practice for when Brennan had their baby. He had learned a lesson about this one though. Brennan was literal; so, when he had told her that he was supposed to hand over Michael to her in the morning then that obviously meant to her that Michael was his responsibility until the morning. He would be very careful how he talked to Brennan from now on, at least when it came to babies.
Ooooooooooooooooooo
The next morning, Booth told Brennan that he would take Michael to the Jeffersonian day care. Booth thought Hodgins was just nosy enough to ask who brought Michael in to daycare and he knew that if Brennan brought Michael in to daycare some red flags would go up in Hodgins land.
He and Brennan were still working out their new relationship so, at this time, no one knew they were a couple yet. He wanted to keep it that way for a least a little while longer. Booth knew that as soon as everyone found out that he and Brennan were living together, the unsolicited advice would start pouring in. He knew that Brennan wouldn't care and would ignore most of it; but, he really hated people poking their noses in his personal business.
Oooooooooooooooooooooo
Booth had been amused by the looks on the caretaker's faces when he brought Michael in to the daycare room. He had explained that Hodgins and Angela were out of town and would be back in about a week; so, he and Brennan were responsible for Michael until they came back. He thought June Myers, one of the caretakers, would have a stroke when she found out he had taken care of Michael overnight. She'd looked Michael over as if she was expecting to find him dirty and wasting away. Booth had watched her do that and had the satisfaction of watching the woman blush when she realized that Booth hadn't just walked away; but, was actually watching her antics. "It served her right too," Booth thought. "I'm not just some lunk head cop."
Ooooooooooooooooooooo
