I hope you're not tired of Boots yet.

I don't own Bones.

I do own Boots.

Ooooooooooooooooo

Christine and Parker were in the kitchen drinking a special drink Parker had made for both of them. Parker was always thinking up new things to eat or drink for his little sister. He had thought of this drink while watching the movie "The Man With the X-Ray Eyes" with Brennan. Parker and Brennan loved old movies and were always on the look out for what they called the classics and Booth called the Moldy Movies.

Boots was sitting under the table next to Christine, ever hopeful that something good would come his way. She had already given him a couple of grapes. He had thought they were nice little balls; but, they definitely were not edible.

Walking into the Kitchen, Max saw Parker and Christine sitting at the kitchen table laughing.

Smiling, Max walked over to where they were sitting and sat down next to Christine. "What are you two laughing about? Come on share the joke."

Laughing, Christine said, "We were just laughing about our drinks. Parker thought it up a couple of days ago. Do you want a taste?"

Reaching over and taking Christine's glass from her hand, Max put the glass closer to his eyes and looked at it closely. It just looked like Sprite with something floating in it.

Handing the glass back, Max asked, "What is it?"

Smiling, Parker said, "Frozen eyeball fizz."

Scrunching his mouth, Max asked, "What?"

Laughing, Christine took a swallow from her glass and started chewing. Looking at her grandfather, she said, "Frozen eyeball fizz. Do you want a taste?"

Leaning back in his chair and scratching behind his right ear, Max said, "How do you make it; because if there's really human eyeballs in there I can't drink any. My doctor told me to cut back."

Smiling, Parker said, "You freeze some white grapes and then put them in a glass of 7UP or Sprite."

Sighing, Max said, "Actually that sounds pretty interesting. Make a glass of the stuff and I'll try it."

Nodding, Parker reached into his bowl of frozen grapes, put some of the semi-hard grapes in a glass and poured some Sprite over them. When he was finished, Parker handed the glass over to Max. Taking the glass from Parker, Max took a swig of his drink.

Smiling, Max said, "Hey not bad. The frozen grapes are pretty good."

Winking at Christine, Parker said, "I tried to get eyeballs at the store; but, the clerk said he only sells them to his special customers. He was asking about you, Grandpa Max. He said to say hello."

Laughing, Max reached over and rubbed Parker's head.

Hearing laughter in the kitchen, Booth and Brennan walked into the kitchen to see what was going on. Booth had his right arm around Brennan's shoulders and was smiling at the sound of his happy family.

Walking over to where the kids and Max were sitting, they stopped next to the table.

Booth hugging Brennan, said, "You guys sound pretty happy."

Brennan looking at the glasses and at the bowl of grapes, asked, "So you made the frozen eyeball fizz? How does it taste?"

Booth, hearing the name of the drink, removed his arm from Brennan's shoulder and frowned. "What did you call it?"

Everyone turned and looked at Booth. Max amused at the look on Booth's face said, "Parker made us some frozen eyeball fizz. Want some?"

Shaking his head, Booth turned around and left the kitchen, Boots following behind him.

Shaking her head, Brennan said, "Dad, you know Booth has a weak stomach when it comes to exotic foods and drinks."

Smiling, Max said, "Yeah and you can't get more exotic than frozen eyeballs."

Laughing, Parker and Christine took another swig of their drinks, chewing the cold grapes.

Walking out of the room, Brennan found Booth sitting in the living room, looking at a family picture on the opposite wall. Boots was sitting next to him.

Sitting on the couch, next to Booth, Brennan said, "You aren't upset are you?"

Smiling, Booth turned his head and said, "No of course not."

Puzzled, Brennan asked, "Then why did you leave the room?"

Leaning over and kissing her, Booth then took her right hand in his and said, "I left because when the kids are enjoying their weird concoctions you usually start talking about weird crap you've eaten in the past that's similar to whatever their eating or drinking, only real. That does kind of gross me out."

Concerned, Brennan asked, "Would you like me stop doing that? I don't want to upset you."

Shaking his head, Booth said, "Nah, the kids love it. You love it. I don't want you to stop. I think it's cute. Just not cute enough for me to hang around and listen to. Don't stop having fun with the kids. I don't want you to."

Nodding her head and smiling, Brennan leaned over and kissed Booth.

Boots feeling a little ignored, stepped on Booth's lap and butted Booth on the chest.

Smiling, Booth looked down and said, "Boots is jealous."

Smiling back, Brennan said, "He should be."
