N is for Nursery
Set in January 2012
It had taken five weeks, a FBI agent, an artist, a bug guy, a shrink, a professional squint, a normal-as-can-be intern, three plumbers and two electricians to renovate the once damaged and crumbling crystal methadone laboratory into a fine mighty hut.
Booth was as excited as a child at Christmas as he drove Brennan to their newly renovated house. Brennan was a little excited to see why Booth and the other men had done to the house. Even their unborn daughter was excited.
"Bones are you nervous?" asked Booth.
"I'm very anxious to see the house after waiting for so long and because you refused to let me even see it." answered Brennan.
"Bones, you're eight months pregnant, you cannot be on a building site."
"I know; I just really want to see the house." said Brennan.
Booth pulled up into the drive next to the house and pulled his tie from around his neck. "Hold still Bones." Booth said wrapping the tie around her eyes. He got out of the car and helped Brennan out.
He led her to the door and helped her in. "Bones, welcome to our new home." said Booth removing the tie from around her eyes.
Brennan's eyes gazed in wonder at the hallway before waddling into the kitchen.
"Booth this is beautiful." exclaimed Brennan. Her hands went to the aisle and she stroked her hand over the finely polished wood. "This is really, really beautiful."
"Shows how much you can do in five weeks and have good sources of labour and volunteers." said Booth smiling at Brennan. "All we need to do in move the furniture in and we are set before she arrives."
"We can do that tomorrow. I requested the moving company to be there at eleven so you and whoever has offered to help you move the furniture from your apartment and they are going to my apartment at two." explained Brennan.
"Do you want to show me the upstairs?"
"Yes please." said Brennan slowly walking towards the staircase and she carefully walked up each step until she was on the landing.
"Where to first?" asked Booth when he had caught up with her.
"Parker's room." said Brennan going to the door with all the posters and notes that were at Booth's apartment. She opened the door and stood in amazement of how Parker it was. Obviously the boy had been telling Angela what he wanted.
"Parker is going to love this." said Brennan touching the walls.
"I know he already does. He kept telling us where he wanted everything." said Booth. "Do you want to see our room?"
Brennan walked over to the room opposite Parker's and smiled.
"Like?" asked Booth.
"Love." she answered.
"Look, no television."
"Our sex life is going to be very, very good."
"I wouldn't put it past us if we make another within five months."
"Speaking of the baby…"
"Here." said Booth leading Brennan to the baby's room. The room was purple and decorated with blue butterflies with the crib in the centre of the room.
Brennan looked at her stomach and smiled brightly. "I think Katy likes her room." said Brennan.
"I think she loves it."
"I do to. The mighty hut is perfect."
