A/N: I am disheartened by the lack of reviews (only one, for two new chapters- that makes me not even want to publish anymore), but, alas, I had a new idea. Short and sweet and to the point of Lily loves being a big sister.

"Hey, Dad, where's Christine's sling?"

"Her what?"

"The cloth thing that Bones carries her in."

"Living room, by the diaper bag. Why?"

"I'm taking her on an adventure."

"A what?"

"An adventure. I take Parker on adventures all the time. I think it's time to start taking Christine on some. It's an advantage of having an older sister who can drive."

"Okay, but you take Parker to go eat or to the park or to get ice cream. What are you going to do with an eight-month-old?"

She shrugged, buckling the baby into her car seat. "Really, I'm just going to do some shopping and I want some company."

"Fine by me. There should be a water bottle and some formula in there if she gets hungry. Just don't stay out too long. And be careful."

"I always am."

"I love you!" He called after her as she rushed out the door, grabbing her keys off of the counter, baby in car seat in tow.

"Love you, too!"

She came back two hours later, shedding the diaper bag and a few shopping bags before placing the car seat on the couch, sighing as she unbuckled Christine.

"Something wrong?" Booth asked, looking up from his laptop.

"Everyone thought I was Christine's mom. I got a lot of judgmental looks and some rude comments."

"So that's the end of the adventures, then?"

She bounced the baby on her hip. "No, of course not. I think she had fun, and I enjoyed the company." She looked at him. "This is your fault, for having a baby when you already have a child old enough to be her mother."

"Hey."
