"Hey, Sweets, what are you doing here?" Booth said as he walked Christine into daycare.
"Just playing with Seely before I have to go to work." Sweets smiled, bouncing his little boy.
"Hi, Seely!" Christine chirped, running over to Sweets. "He is so cute."
"He is, be careful of his head." Booth said as she started to rub the top of his head.
"He likes you." Sweets grinned as his little boy smiled up at Christine with his toothless grin.
"Honey, go play with Emma, I need to talk to Uncle Sweets." Booth patted the top of her little head and she nodded.
` "Yes, Daddy." She said, running off.
"Why did you bring her here? I thought you had her enrolled in Pre-K." Sweets quirked a brow at the other agent.
"Yeah but schools closed today." Booth sighed. "Look, Sweets, I just wanted to warn you, Bones told me she was having two interns work with her for this newest case, the one that came in last night?"
"The one with the body that was pulverized by a steamroller?" Sweets asked.
"Yeah. Well, apartently since there is so much work to do with putting the bones back together that they are bringing in two interns."
"Oh, who does Daisy get to work with? Arastuu? Not Oliver Wells, I hope, she hates him."
"Jessica Warren." Booth said, looking to the ground. "I thought you should know because I know you two... Y'know."
"Oh my God... they are going to kill each other." Sweets said, handing his son over to the daycare lady. "Daisy is very competive, so is Jessica from what Hodgins tells me."
"What competion! Daisy is marrying you!"
"And Daisy knows that, she knows she has won. She has to prove it to her." Sweets groaned. "They are going to kill eachother."
"Good luck with that one." Booth said, patting Sweets shoulder.

"Sorry I'm late!" Jessica said as she ran onto the plataform.
"It's okay Miss Warren, just don't do it again." Brennan said.
"Hey, you must be that other intern, the one that Dr. Sweets slept with before me." Warren smiled at Daisy as she walked infront of the table.
"He didn't just sleep with me, we went out for nearly five years and were briefly engaged." Daisy said, something harsh glimering in her eyes. "You must be the one he slept with after we broke up. He told me about you... You are just like he described."
"Dead person!" Cam said, gesturing to the crushed body on the examination table.
"Wow, uh, you two were really involved..." Warren blinked.
"Yeah, we were. Actually, I think I might have been pregnant when he slept with you."
"What?"
"Well, I didn't know at the time, neither did he, but that sure is something."
"You were pregnant, with his..."
"Yup." Daisy nodded with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "A little boy, he is three months old."
"He must be cute." Warren grinned, clearly trying to keep cool.
"He is, and we are trying to find a way to get him involved in the wedding but I think we are just going to have someone hold him."
"You two are getting married?"
"Yeah, it's going to be a beautiful cerimony." Daisy tilted her head.
"This is very interesting, see how she is asserting her dominace over a younger, less experinced female." Brennan whispered to Angela, who was watching on with wide eyes.
"Yeah, she certianly is."
"Lets get to work, shall we? This guy looks like he was put through a meat grinder."
"The victim is female." Daisy said.
"We have yet to assertian that, Miss Wick." Brennan said but Daisy held up a finger before picking out a piece of bone from the mushy, gutsy bits.
"This piece of the pelvic bone indicates an oval shape, the victim is female." Daisy said, holding up the bone to Brennan's eyes.
"Yes... very good, Miss Wick!" Brennan smiled. "Okay, I have to go meet with my publisher about a book signing, Miss Warren, I need you to put the skull back together so Angela can do a facial reconstruction. Miss Wick, I need the rest of the skeleton rearticulated."
"Can do." The women said simutaniously.
"Good." Brennan smiled, walking away.
"Dr. Hodgins, I need the bones clean." The women said in unison again.
"He will clean the bones once I take tissue samples, you two will just have to wait." Cam said.
"I'm just going to go get my beetles ready." Hodgins said with a classic Hodgins grin as he walked away.
"And I'm not needed here." Angela said, biting her lips and walking off swiftly.
After a few minutes Cam had taken the samples and left and the two girls were left alone.
"Look, Daisy-" Jessica started before Daisy stopped her.
"Isn't it interesting that we both slept with Lance but I got pregnant? And am marrying him?"
"Look... I don't think you want to try to compete with me, lady, because I was raised up in an educational cooperative with mostly boys, so I was born to compete." Warren said, giving Daisy a sharp look.
"Compete? I've already won. I have a son, I'm getting married."
"But I'm better than you. I'm a better intern. I'm smart then you."
"We'll just have to see about that, won't we?" Daisy asked with a smirk.
"Yes, we will."
"May the best woman win."
"I will."
#############################################################################
"Thanks for the skull, Jessica." Angela smiled as Warren handed over the skull to her. "Tissue markers look good to."
"Thank you." She nodded with a smile. "And hey... Um, about that Daisy girl?"
"She isn't always like that, she's normally very friendly but... you slept with her fiancee, you are her compition as the only other female intern. She's marking her territory." Angela giggled, shaking her head.
"But she is so mean!"
"No, again, she is actually very sweet. You two actually have a lot in common."
"I doubt it." Jessica scoffed.
"You do." Angela shrugged. "I suggest you two cut the cat fight and become friends."
"I don't think so." She shook her head.
"Fine, but be warned, Daisy is more experienced. She had seniority. You are fighting with fire, kid, so you better bring a fire suit." Angela said with a tilt of the head.
"Or a hose." Warren said, walking off.
"There is no way that this ends well." Angela laughed, shaking her head before looking back to the skull. "Alrighty then, who are you?"
##################################################################################
"She is so bothersome!" Daisy huffed as she sat on the couch. "And she is such a novis. It took her twice as long to put the skull together as it would have taken me."
"She's new, Daisy, cut her some slack." Sweets smiled softly, handing her their son.
"Are you defending her?" Daisy glared at Sweets.
"No, I'm just saying-"
"You are supposed to be on my side, Lance!"
"I am. I am on your side." Sweets said, giving her a kiss. "I'm on your good side, alright?"
"Shut up." She said, leaning into him and snuggling up to him as Seely wiggled happily in her arms.
"You two should friends. You have a lot in common." Sweets smiled, kissing her again. "It's probably why I slept with her in the first place."
"Lance..." Daisy whined, pouting up at him like a child.
"Fine, just don't do anything stupid that will get you fired." Sweets said, poking her nose and kissing her forehead.
"Fine... I'll try, but I make no promises."
"This girl is smart, Daisy, she is Mensa smart. Be careful." Sweets said.
"I will. Because I'm the better intern. I'm more experienced and less obnoxious than she is. By a long shot. She is going down." Daisy said, kissing the top of her babies head. "Isn't that right, buddy? She is going down, way down. Yes she is!"
Sweets chuckled and shook his head before wrapping an arm around his darling Daisy. It was going to be a long case.

"So did Angela get an ID yet?" Sweets asked, walking up to Booth as he entered the breakroom.
"Molly Anderson." Booth said, waving a file. "Twenty-nine. She's a trophy wife."
"Excuse me?" Sweets asked, quirking a brow.
"I mean she was a trophy wife. Hot woman married to a rich jerk." Booth said.
"So, what, you are thinking he killed her for some kind of payout?" Sweets asked, sipping his coffee.
"Maybe, I don't know." Booth shrugged. "But it wouldn't be the first time a rich snob got rid of something he didn't want anymore."
"Well intill we have any kind of evidence let's just assume he is the caring husband, alright?"
"Fine fine, if you insist." Booth sighed, poring his coffee.
"I do."
"Hey, do you know if Daisy is going to lay off of Warren?" Booth asked as he put a packet of sugar in his coffee.
"I think she is actually planning her murder." Sweets chuckled.
"That's great." Booth sighed, shaking his head.
"Yeah, there is no way this ends well." Sweets said, shaking his head as well.
"Well, this rich sneeze bag is going to be here in twenty, better get on your shrinky shoes." Booth patted Sweets back as he left the room.
"I will! I will do that!" Sweets hollered after him.
