Thanks to everyone who put the story on their favorites or alerts list and to those who reviewed… Here's your reaction from Russ and the girls as requested by 'musicnlyrics'… hope you like… let me know what you think…
So who saw the new Bones?
Russ
"Aunt Tempe!" Emma and Haley shouted as they ran into Brennan's office at the lab. She had been sitting at her desk, writing a report about the Limbo case she just finished. She rolled her chair back as the two girls ran over to hug her.
"Girls, I told you not to run," Russ told them as he followed into the office.
"Russ!" she said in surprise, smiling.
"Yeah, Amy's sorry she couldn't make it though. She's stuck working today."
"Make what?"
"Dad called and said that you wanted to invite us over for a family dinner tonight… and by the look on your face I'm guessing that you didn't know that you told dad that you wanted to have a family dinner tonight." Brennan looked a little exasperated.
"No. He had invited himself over to dinner tonight and I guess he decided to get you to come over too."
"He also said that you had big news."
"Aunt Tempe," Haley interrupted, "that's a pretty ring. Where did you get it?" Brennan smiled and held her hand closer to the two girls who were trying to get a better look at the ring.
"Booth gave it to me." Russ then noticed what hand she was holding near the girls and what finger the ring was on.
"Wow… Booth asked you to marry him and you said yes?"
"No."
"So… if that's not an engagement ring, what's the big news you wanted to share."
"It is an engagement ring, and that is the news."
"Ok. Now I'm confused," Russ said, plopping on the couch in front of his sister's desk, not trying at all to hide how confused he was quickly becoming. "You just said no to Booth asking you to marry him and you saying yes, but you're engaged…"
"Yes."
"Ok… I'm really not following…" she rolled her eyes, thinking it should be obvious.
"I asked him to marry me."
"Wow, and he said yes?" Russ asked. Before she could respond Emma spoke.
"How'd you ask him Aunt Tempe?"
Brennan answered her brother first. "Not exactly, my plan didn't exactly work." She turned her attention to the girls who were waiting patiently for her answer to Emma's question. "Well I baked a ring into an apple pie for him and had the ring engraved with Marry Me?"
"And he said yes?" Haley asked.
"Well, not exactly. He didn't have a response because he didn't see it at that point."
"Why didn't he see it?" Emma asked.
"Well that would be because Bones temporarily forgot that I don't tend to chew my pie," a voice said from the doorway. Brennan looked up to see Booth smiling, leaning on the doorframe. He pushed off the frame and came into the room. He plopped on the couch next to Russ.
"Booth," Russ said simply.
"Russ." He paused for a minute. "So, what's up? I thought you were planning on calling Russ tomorrow to tell him?" Booth looked to Bones.
"I was. Dad had other ideas apparently." Booth looked to Russ.
"He called and said Tempe wanted us over tonight for a family dinner."
"Well in that case, Pops has been bugging for some great-granddaughter, great grandfather alone time. He'd be thrilled to be left alone with her for a while tonight and we could treat your dad, brother, and the girls to Gordon Gordon's place. Pops had been planning on getting out of the way for a while when your dad came for dinner tonight anyway."
"Why, he knows he's more than welcome. He's family, too."
"Yeah, but it's Pops. He's got his ideas and figured it could just be the three of us tonight. I think he was planning on kidnapping our daughter tonight for a while," Booth said chuckling.
"I thought you said my dad invited himself over to spoil her?"
"Yeah well, he's the one who invited more than we were prepared for and you know she'll get fussy at the restaurant." Brennan nodded conceding to his point.
"You can explain to him why his plan to spoil his granddaughter didn't work."
"His fault." He then looked to Russ. "He won't hurt me in front of the girls right?"
Russ shrugged. "Might want to wear some padding just in case."
"Right. Yeah… so dinner at Gordon Gordon's work for you?"
"Sounds good. What time?"
"Well your dad said 6:30 at our place right?" Booth asked looking to Brennan. She nodded. "So, figuring he'll show up there first why not figure around 7?"
"Sounds good. Me and the girls have stuff we've got to take care of in D.C. first so we'll meet you guys there later." Booth nodded. "Come on, girls. We'll see them later."
"K. Bye," they said quickly following Russ out of the office.
"So…" Booth started when they left. "You're not really going to make me be the one to tell your dad why his plan failed right?"
"He'll probably know from Hank, but if he asks I guess I could tell him. Why are you here anyway? Do we have a case?" Booth chuckled.
"Nope, but it's lunch time and you promised that you were only going to do a half day today since it's Saturday and Pops is here too." She quickly grabbed her bags and headed for the door. Booth followed and they went home for the day.
So that was Russ and his girls... let me know what you thought... I wasn't so sure about this one...
