Chapter Thirteen: Family Outings and Bonding

Brennan sat on a blanket barefoot and lounging under the shade of a tree at a park near their townhouse. They had Parker for the weekend and Booth suggested since it was such a nice day that they relax and have a picnic . She watched as father and son tossed a football back and forth , Booth instructing Parker on what techniques to use to increase the speed and length of his throw.They did that for a couple more minutes and rejoined Brennan on the blanket.

"Tempe , do we have any sandwiches left ?"

Parker said going over to the picnic basket that contained their food, drinks and snacks.

"Yep, there's two more turkey and cheese "

"Great!"

Parker said grabbing one of the sandwiches and a bag of chips. He ate his food then ran off to join a basketball game, when he spotted some of his friends from school. Booth laid down next to her and started to gently rub her swollen feet.

"Mmm, that feels good, but the answers still no "

Brennan said referring to the conversation they'd had earlier in the week.

"But the doctor said"

"I don't care what the doctor said ,when , shes ready to come out she'll come out theres no need to try to induce, "

Brennan said slightly upset

"I''m sorry for pushing it "

"Its ok Booth,but I don't understand why you'd even want to with me looking like this..." Brennan said talking about her weight gain

"How could I not, you look even more beautiful " Booth said trying to charm her

"Booth, theres no scientific proof of a womans beauty being affected by pregnancy"

"Bones , just take the compliment" Booth said pretending to be irritated

"I thought you said it was sexy when I talked 'scientifically' " Brennan said quoting her husband.

"Damn right baby" Booth said capturing her in a kiss, but she suddenly pulled away.

"Whats wrong?"

"Did you knock over my water?"

"No. why?" He asked confused

"It appears my water has broken" Brennan said calmly

"Your what, here...now" Booth said starting to freak out .

"Booth..Booth , we need go to the hospital" Brennan said catching his attention,while continuing to be calm .

"Right, uh I'll go get Parker and we'll pack everything up"

"K, I'll call Angela and have her pick bring the bag I packed to take to the hospital"

Booth called Parker over , told him what was happening then went back to the picnic blanket to help Bren up , as Parker packed up everything. When everything was packed and cleaned up , Booth went to get the SUV while an excited Parker stood waiting with Brennan. Brennan felt a sharp pain on her side signaling the start of contractions a fact she decided to keep from Booth at the moment lest he freak out even more.


"Daddy, can you push me on the swings, please"

Mira said running over to her father. They'd just gotten a new playground put in for the kids that included a jungle gym , swings and a tree house for Mira and a smaller set with baby swings for the twins for when they got old enough. Hodgins walked with Mira to the swings and helped his oldest daughter onto the seats before preceeding to push her back and forth.

"Higher Daddy, push me higher!" Mira said laughing as she swung

Meanwhile Angela was putting the twins down for their nap. The past few months had been challenging taking care of two infants at once , especially Logan who was on extra vitamins and other medicines to keep him healthy,but she and Hodgins had developed a routine, with big sister Mira always willing to help with the little things. She ran her hand over each babies heads gently kissing them before making sure the baby monitors were on before walking out the room.

She walked outside to the backyard and saw Hodgins with Mira , she smiled when she remembered a case they'd had a year before they'd gotten married, where a baby who's mother was killed and swallowed a key , was in Brennan's temporary custody. She and Hodgins had , had a conversation about kids after she'd said she wanted a million. Three was definitely more practical and she hadn't gotten "wide" as Hodgins predicted after Mira she'd started a strict excercise plan with a trainer and once she had the time , she'd do the same to lose the extra weight from the twins.

She still wanted more kids after the twins but would need a considerable amount of time maybe when the twins started school before she had more. Or maby they'd adopt with all the orphans out there , her and Hodgins could take in those who had no one else. She'd talk to Hodgins about it later. She smiled at the father , daughter bonding and was broken out of her thoughts by the sound of her cell phone ringing.

"Hello"

"Ange, its Bren..."

"Sweetie , whats up"

Angela said, then listened as Brennan told her what was going on .

"Ok, sweetie I'll have Lola come over then Jack and I will meet you at the hospital with your bag,is the spare still under the mat"

"Yeah, thanks "

"I'll see you in a few , tell Booth to remember to breath"

She said hearing Booth yelling at the traffic lights slowness , in the background. She hung up the phone , called their sometimes babysitter , Lola and walked outside to tell Hodgins and Mira what was going on. Lola arrived soon after and after giving her some details about Logan's next dose of medicine , she and Hodgins drove to Brennan's and Booth's house then to the hospital.
