That evening, Booth bought a portable baby crib on the way over to Brennan's apartment. They had both agreed that staying at Booth's apartment was not an option. Angela and Hodgins would expect to find their son at Brennan's apartment when they got back. Since the crib was for Michael, Booth used some of the money that Hodgins had left for Booth to use. Booth figured that Brennan could keep the crib in her apartment after Michael went back home. This probably wasn't going to be the only time Brennan ended up babysitting Michael, so the crib would come in handy. He just hoped that babysitting didn't happen too often. As far as Booth was concerned, Angela and Hodgins were flighty, so you never knew what to expect from those two. Angela was a real free spirit and Hodgins was more than willing to go along with anything Angela thought up.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooo
Arriving at Brennan's apartment, Booth found Brennan feeding Michael in the kitchen. Michael was staring intently at Brennan's face while she fed him his bottle. Booth thought they looked real cute together. Michael was a very cute baby and that was a fact. Booth was pretty sure that their baby would be even cuter. With a knock-out like Brennan for a mother, the baby was probably going to be the cutest baby in the D.C. area.
"God help the boys, if our baby is a girl," Booth thought. Thinking about it further, Booth thought, "God, help me while your at it."
Carrying the box, with the crib in it, into Brennan's bedroom, Booth took all of the parts out of the box and started to put the crib together. Thankfully, the crib had been made in America so the instructions were understandable.
The last time he tried to put something together, the instructions had been in some weird combination of words that made absolutely no sense to him. He had to put the damn thing together with just the diagram and had turned the air blue while he was at it. After that, he had decided to always try to buy American made stuff or at least stuff from a country that spoke English as it's primary language.
Booth had decided, before he bought the crib, that no matter how difficult it was going to be to put the crib together, he was going to be on his best behavior and not lose his patience in front of Brennan and Michael.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooo
After Brennan had finished feeding Michael, she walked into the bedroom with Michael and sat down on the bed. Watching Booth put the crib together she admired how smoothly and efficently he did the job.
"I talked to Angela this afternoon." Brennan said, " She and Hodgins are going to come back home in a couple of days. Her father doesn't want her to be away from Michael too long. Angela said she was happy to see her father; but, she wants to come home as soon as possible."
Nodding his head, while looking at the crib diagram, Booth said, "Well, that's good."
Smiling, Brennan said, "Michael may only get to sleep in the crib for two days. Do you think all of this work is worth the effort?"
Smiling, Booth looked at Brennan and said, "You bet."
Shaking her head, Brennan said, "As long as this makes sense to one of us; then, I suppose it's worth the effort."
Winking at Brennan, Booth turned back to his project and continued to work on the crib.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooo
After Booth finally put the crib together, he placed it in the corner, near the closet. He had a couple of problems while putting the crib together; but, he had managed to laugh it off in front of Brennan. All in all, he was sure he had impressed Brennan with his ability to get the crib put together. At least he hoped he did.
"You know, you can put the crib in the guest bedroom when you're not using it," Booth advised Brennan. "You shouldn't give it to Hodgins and Angela when they come for Michael. You may need to use it in the future for Michael, if you get stuck babysitting again."
Smiling, Brennan said, "This is a very nice crib, Booth. Michael should be comfortable while sleeping in it."
Looking at the crib, with satisfaction, Booth said, "I figured since Hodgins was paying for it, the crib should be the best one the store had. I wouldn't want Hodgins to accuse me of being a cheapskate when it comes to his son."
Frowning, Brennan said, "You're not a cheapskate, Booth. You just believe in getting the most value out of your money. I don't see anything wrong with that philosophy."
Smiling, Booth walked over to Brennan and took Michael out of her arms.
Putting Michael in the crib, Booth said, "Well, let's see if he likes it."
Seeing that Michael didn't have any objections to the crib, Booth turned around and hugged Brennan. "Now we have more room in bed."
Smiling, Brennan said, "Yes, we do."
Ooooooooooooooooooooooo
