I think it's kinda funny that this one popped up right after the word "husband", but the word generator gods have spoken. :P Let's go!

Sister

"Dad, Dad!" an excited Parker exclaimed as his father and a noticeably pregnant Brennan returned home after a doctor's appointment. "Did you find out if I'm having a brother or a sister?" he asked as his eyes danced. Booth laughed and motioned for Parker to sit down.

"Yeah we did, Bub," he said with a goofy grin that had been sitting on his lips ever since he and Brennan were told the gender of their baby. Parker was squirming with anticipation. He wanted a little brother so badly he had dreams on the subject. Booth knew this, and he knew that he was about to shatter his son's hopes for a little brother to kick around. "Parker, it's a girl." Parker's face fell. Booth glanced to Brennan for help.

"I think she will be very fortunate to have you for an older brother," she offered. Parker shrugged and looked at his feet.

"I'm gonna go play with my DS, okay?" Booth nodded and Parker left the living room, heading for his bedroom.

"That went better than I expected, actually," Booth joked as Brennan sat next to him on the couch. He draped an arm around her and she rested her head on his shoulder. "He'll come around." He felt Brennan nod and he kissed the top of her head.

"You're happy with the news, right?" Brennan asked her husband after a minute of just sitting with him in silence. Booth tightened his grip on her shoulder.

"Of course I am, Babe," he told her honestly. "I would have been happy if it had been a boy too, but I already have Parker. Having a little girl will be a new experience. I like the idea of a little girl who looks just like you running around here. She'll be a little Daddy's Girl." Brennan smirked at him.

"You mean that you will spoil her," she corrected. Booth chuckled and gave Brennan a quick peck on the lips.

"You better believe it, Baby," he said with a wide smile. He watched as Brennan put a hand to her stomach. "She kicking you?" he asked.

"Yes," Brennan answered. "It feels much stronger now that I am over twenty weeks along. At this stage you should be able to feel it as well. Would you like to?" Booth's eyes lit up. Brennan had been feeling their baby's movement for a while now, but it was not yet strong enough to be felt from the outside. The prospect of feeling his new child move was enough to make his heart rate pick up. Brennan smiled, took his hand, and placed it over where she was feeling the kicking. After a moment the baby kicked again and Booth's eyes shined with joyful tears.

"Whoa," was all his brain would allow him to mutter. Brennan chuckled and put her hand over his. Their eyes met and Booth's heart melted. "I love you, Bones," he whispered. She leaned forward and gave him a soft kiss.

"I love you, Booth. So much," she said with a happiness in her eyes that Booth wished he could keep there forever.

"I'm gonna go talk to Parker," he said after another minute of just being with his wife. Brennan shook her head.

"You don't have to do that," she said. "Like you said, he'll come around."

"Yeah," Booth agreed, "but you're worried about it, Bones. I know you and I can tell that you don't like that he's not excited about having a little sister. So I'm going to go fix it because that's what I do. Okay, Bones?" Brennan sighed.

"Alpha male," she teased. Booth winked and gave her hand a squeeze.

"Don't I know it." He kissed her on the cheek and then made his way to Parker's room. He knocked on the door and waited for his son's slightly annoyed 'come in.' He opened the door and found Parker laying on his bed on his stomach with his handheld video game in front of him. "I think we should have a talk." Parker looked up at him.

"I didn't mean to be a jerk, Dad," he said earnestly. "I just really wanted a little brother. I made Bones upset, didn't I?"

"Maybe a little," Booth admitted. "I know why you wanted a little brother, Parker, but a little sister can be just as much fun."

"No way, you can't teach a stupid little sister how to play hockey." Booth laughed.

"Who says you can't?" he asked. Parker shrugged. "Your little sister might want to learn about hockey and your video games and all that other stuff you like. Plus, since she's your little sister, you'll also have a very important job." Parker gave him a confused look. "You have to protect her. She'll look up to her big brother, and you'll have to set an example so she won't go running around with losers when she gets older." Parker smiled.

"You really think she'll want to learn how to play hockey?" he asked. Booth laughed and put an arm around his son, who wasn't so small anymore.

"You never know," Booth answered. "But I do know that she's going to love you, and you're going to be one heck of a big brother."

"I just might love her too," Parker said. Then, with a mischievous smile, "You never know!" Booth grinned and punched Parker in the arm playfully.

"Yeah, you never know," he repeated. "Come on, kiddo, it's almost dinner time. What do you say me and you cook for Bones tonight?" The two of them walked out of the bedroom and passed Brennan, still sitting on the couch. "Bones, us guys are going to make you some spaghetti!"

"Thank you," Brennan said with a smile. "Don't destroy my kitchen." The two of them turned to go into the kitchen, and Parker turned back.

"I can't wait to meet my little sister, Bones," he said with that signature Booth smile. He turned and followed his father into the kitchen. Brennan watched the two most important men in her life go and placed a hand on her abdomen.

"You are a very fortunate girl to have those two to love you," she told her unborn child. She knew it was irrational to speak to the fetus, but she always enjoyed it. "Believe me, I would know."

Happy Bones Day tomorrow! I'm really looking forward to the episode. I think we'll all love it, no matter how much it might break our hearts at first. :P As always, tell me what you think!
