Chapter 3

It turned out it was Hodgins playing airplane with little Angela which was really enjoying it.

Temperance smiled and said, "He's great with her."

"Yes and she really likes him," said Angela.

"All the Angela's like Hodgins," said Booth with a little smile making the others smile as well just as the elevator doors opened and the two older children came out discussing something.

As the discussion was pretty heated and they were coming their way the adults turned to look at them just as Hannah yelled, "You really shouldn't have done that, you are really stupid."

"Hannah Elizabeth," Temperance raised her voice in shock, but Allison dismissed her saying, "You are right, I really shouldn't have done that."

"No as that was so off limit and you know it," said Hannah still angry.

"I know and I promise I won't do it again, so friends?" asked Allison looking at her with insecure eyes.

"Friends," said Hannah giving her friend a hug before turning to her father asking, "Can Allison eat with us today?"

"She can," Booth answered looking at them with confused eyes wondering what the argument had been about.

"Cool, wanna go look at bones?" Hannah asked.

"Yaha," said Allison excited.

"Not so fast, there is something I want to ask you," said Booth.

"Yaha, what's that?" asked Hannah looking at him with very curious eyes.

"Your mother and I was wondering what you want for your birthday this year?" Booth asked looking down at her.

Before she had time to answer Allison said, "She want something funny and exciting that she had never done before and she wanna be surprised ain't that right Lizziebug."

"Yeah that's what I want," said Hannah with a smile before they ran of to where they kept the Bones.

"That sure was helpful," said Booth rolling his dark eyes.

"So we are right back where we started," said Temperance, there was no use trying to hide the hopelessness that was shining in her eyes.

"Daddy," they heard little Angela said and Booth lifted her up on his arm.

"Yes little Angel," he said and smiled at her.

"Buy her the world," she said with a happy smile.

"I really wish I could little one," he said and smiled back playfully pushing her nose making her giggle.

Temperance smiled at them when she suddenly got an idea and said, "You know we could actually do that."

"What?" he asked.

"Give her the world," she answered.

"Bones, what are you talking about?" he asked confused.

"If we for instance take her to a museum," she answered thoughtfully.

"That is not a bad idea actually, did you have one in mind?" he asked.

"Not really no, there is too many to choose from," she said with a sigh.

"Are we going outside Washington or…?" he said.

"Think we should go outside as she has been to every museum here," Temperance concluded still thinking.

"Wanna share," he tried as little Angela punched his face for attention making everyone laugh but Booth that said, "It's not nice punching your daddy."

"Punching fun," she said and did it again.

"I agree little angel," said Hodgins and smiled at her.

"But I do not, so stop it," said Booth holding here high up in the air out of reach for his nose making her giggle happily.

"Careful and don't dare to drop her," said Temperance in a warning tone looking at them with worried eyes.

Angela smiled a little as ten years back she would have a hard time picturing her friend as a mother, but now she was having a hard time picturing her without her two children as she in time had shown being very capable of the task.

"Of course, but back to the museum," said Booth.

"Angela, what do you think?" said Temperance.

"I think a museum would be a great idea, but if you do that you should make sure that you do it after closing time so they can have the whole thing to themselves," Angela answered.

"I can actually get that done being who I am," said Temperance still thinking of where it was best to go when Hodgins said, "I have a suggestion as to where you can go."

"Which is?" Booth asked.

"How about the Metropolitan," he said.

"That is a great idea, that place is really amazing and Angela would love it there I'm sure," said Angela excited.

"What do you say Bones?" Booth asked looking at her now holding their daughter.

"I think it is a wonderful idea, thanks Hodgins," she said and smiled brightly at him.

"You are welcome," he said and smiled back.

"Do you want to come as well?" she asked.

"No, no, and besides someone has to take care of the lab while you are gone," he said.

"That is actually true, what about you Angela," said Temperance looking at her friend.

But before she had time to answer little Angela said, "Wanna come."

"Yes little Angel, but now I was talking to your Auntie Angela," said Bones in a very soft tone.

"I better stay here with Hodgins so he doesn't accidentally blow up the lab," she said with a little smile.

Temperance giggled a bit and said, "We better go a try to plan this."

"I suppose," said Booth not quite in the mood of planning it at all, yet he still followed her while Angela and Hodgins shook their heads.
