Angela visits Brennan in the hospital after she was rescued. This is a few days before the Jessica Ambet Case in Family in the Adventures. It's just really girl talk.
Angela waddled into Brennan's hospital room to find the anthropologist lying in her bed cradling baby Isabel in her arms.
"Hey Sweetie." Angela said plonking herself on the chair next to the bed.
"Hey Ange." Brennan smiled slightly. Izzie yawned a tiny yawn before snuggling into her mother's chest clutching her hand around Brennan's pinkie. "How are you feeling?"
"I should be asking you that. I'm fine except when they have a wrestling match in there." Angela said rubbing her stomach. "How are you feeling?"
"Tired. It took the whole of last week to try to restore function in my legs. I'm too exhausted to even move now that I have just had a walk."
"But you aren't falling over?
"No. I managed to walk around this ward and the one above us today without falling over. I just got back. I took her with me. Showed her around the hospital."
"She is beautiful." She smiled at Izzie.
"I know. Seems irrational but she is symmetrically perfect."
"So, been doing anything nice other than walking around two hospital wards?"
"I've been watching some television."
"Anything recently?"
"Many films. I saw one about how Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet - albeit a fictional version with a woman who inspired the character of Viola in Twelfth Night – which I thought, while historically inaccurate, was very good; some TV dramas… Some were crime but I didn't like them especially this one show. It just didn't do anything for me. It wasn't gripping enough to capture my interest. And a little unrealistic.
"I think I know what show you are on about. I quite like it. It's just easy watching for me you know, considering out jobs. Though the woman gets on my nerves."
"I found her irritating too. She was really bland compared to another female character on a show I watched last night. I think her name was Sookie something. I also watched a couple of medical dramas. There was one about a doctor who is very rude to his patients which was very good and another was about a group of doctors and their personal lives, which was also very good. I also watched some documentaries on these people from Beverly Hills and I thought I had lost a few IQ points just listening to them speak."
"Well, they are aimed at idiots."
"I wouldn't say idiots; I'd say people who would rather watch less mentally simulating programming. This is why I allow Katy to watch Sesame Street."
"I think she prefers Star Wars though. Cheeky little minx decided to change the channel when I wasn't looking once."
"I have to say, she is rather clever for a 21 month old. She winked when she was 6 weeks old."
"Crafty is a better word. But she is a little munchkin as is Michael. I reckon they'd make a cute couple once they are old enough."
"You'll have a difficult time with that because of Booth. He said after he tried to give Parker the talk that he was putting her and Izzie in a nunnery once they hit puberty. To which point I replied that would be absurd because Katy could kick his ass."
"If that does happen we are so recording it and putting it on YouTube." they both laughed causing Izzie to stir due to her sleep being disturb and gave a slight whinge.
"Shh, sorry." Brennan whispered to Izzie stroking her finger over the baby's cheek.
"She isn't a massive crier is she?"
"No. She whines when she wants something but she doesn't bawl into massive tears. Then again it may change when she starts teething."
"You mean the massive sleep deprivation that we have to endure while our children go through hellish pain, just so they can eat solid food. It's a good thing my dad found a way to get Michael to sleep by playing 'Old Time Rock and Roll'."
"Katy was a nightmare. She would scream for 7 hours. In a row. We couldn't even take her to day care she was screaming so much. We couldn't get her dressed, feed her or do anything without her crying. We did managed to settle her down by letting her watch a film with a lot of distracting colors and by giving her a little teething gel. She did like her teething ring as well." She looked at Izzie who had her eyes half open. "I hope you won't be as dramatic as your sister." she said to Izzie. The infant closed her eyes again.
"I brought you some more books to read." Angela said pulling some books out of the carer bag and placed them on the bed side table.
"Thanks. I have to admit, I enjoyed the Shopaholic books you gave me. They weren't thought provoking which I don't really need at this current time."
"You're going to be okay, aren't you?" Angela asked taking her hand.
"Yeah. I'm going to be fine." Brennan gave her a reassuring smile and looked at the clock on the wall. "I have a film coming on in a minute if you want to watch with me."
"Depends on what it is."
"The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's a musical of some sort"
"I know it. It's a good thing she is asleep because it is very sexual."
"I'll just put her in her cot. You can come on the bed if that makes you more comfortable." Brennan said standing up and gently placing Izzie in the cot next to the bed while Angela climbed onto the bed finding a position that would support her aching back before Brennan climbed next to her before turning the TV on with the remote.
