Thanks for reading my story. It is a little on the fluffy side. We can all use fluff once in awhile.
I don't own Bones.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooo
Booth and Brennan were sitting on the bed playing with Christine when someone knocked on the door. Glancing at Brennan, Booth stood up and walked over to the door. Opening it, Booth found himself staring at Steven.
Brushing past Booth, Steven walked into the room and asked, "Hey man, why aren't you in your swim trunks?"
Shaking his head, Booth replied, "We aren't going swimming. We decided to stay in the room this afternoon and rest."
Glancing at Brennan and Christine, Steven then turned back to Booth and begged, "Ah, come on man, I need you down at the pool with me. You know how guys try to hit on Nina whenever she's at the pool. She gets pissed at me when I try to keep the jerks away from her; so, I need you down there to run interference for me. She just thinks it's funny when you chase guys away."
Smiling, Booth said, "You don't need anyone to run interference. Nina can take care of herself. Let her handle the jerks."
Frowning, Steven put his hands on Booth's shoulders, "Seeley, you haven't seen her new swimsuit. Come on man, don't make me beg. You have to come down, at least for awhile."
Brennan, seeing that Steven wasn't going to take no for an answer, "Maybe we should go to the pool, Booth. The last time Nina went swimming in a public pool, she broke that man's hand when he put it on her breast. It might be better if we sat near her and kept her from hurting anyone."
Nodding his head, Steven agreed, "Yeah, although the only reason Nina broke his hand is because I was in the pool and I couldn't get out of the water fast enough to beat the shit out of the jerk."
Pointing to Steven, Brennan said, "See, Booth. It's our duty to go to the pool."
Shaking his head, Booth looked at Brennan and then Steven, "Well, I guess it wouldn't look good if a Philadelphia police captain ended up in jail in Las Vegas for assault and battery. Give us a few minutes and we'll meet you at the pool. Try not to beat anyone up while you're down there. Get Hank Joseph to help you."
Grabbing Booth around the chest, Steven lifted Booth off of his feet and said, "Thanks, Seeley."
Dropping Booth, Steven, turned to the door and demanded, "Hurry up."
Watching Steven leave the room, Booth turned to Brennan and laughed, "He is such a kid."
Smiling, Brennan said, "He is very demonstrative. It must run in your family."
Walking over to where Brennan was sitting, Booth leaned over and put his hands on her shoulders, "Yes we are. Want me to demonstrate. We could get Max to babysit Christine for awhile."
Smiling, Brennan answered, "Go put your bathing suit on while I change Christine. I'll change then. By the way, I have a new bathing suit too."
His smile erased from his face, Booth asked, "A one piece?"
Shaking her head, Brennan replied, "No."
Sighing, Booth said, "Terrific."
Oooooooooooooooooooooo
When Brennan came out of the bathroom, she was wearing one of Booth's Flyers t-shirts over her swimsuit; so, Booth didn't get a chance to see the new swimsuit. Picking up Christine, Booth asked, "Don't you want to let me see the swimsuit before we go down?"
Shaking her head and smiling, Brennan replied, "No, that won't be necessary."
Huffing a little, Booth complained, "How come?"
Smiling, Brennan teased, "Because Angela helped me buy it and she told me to make you wait until I'm near a pool before you see it. She said you'd appreciate it better in its proper setting."
Swallowing, Booth said, "Angela helped you buy it? You know Bones while you were changing I came down with a headache. It might even be a migraine. Let's stay in this afternoon. Steven and Hank Joseph can protect Nina."
Shaking her head, Brennan picked up her beach bag, "Your headache is probably stress related, Booth. Swimming will help you relax."
Hugging Christine, Booth mumbled, "Yeah, I bet it will."
Oooooooooooooooooooooooo
Arriving at the pool, Booth found Nina and Steven sitting over on the south side of the pool. Hank Joseph was sitting on the edge of the pool and Max was sitting next to him.
Walking over to where Steven was sitting, Booth bent down and whispered into Steven's ear, "I'll watch out for Nina; so, you sure as Hell better watch out for Bones."
Puzzled, Steven asked, "What are you talking about?"
Turning to watch Brennan remove the t-shirt, Booth's chest tightened. Squeezing the back of Steven's neck, Booth remarked, "Bones has a new swim suit too."
Looking over at Brennan, Steven whistled and said, "Damn. We are so screwed."
Booth, carrying Christine over to where Brennan was standing, placed Christine in Brennan's arms and proclaimed rather loudly, "Look Christine, Mommy's ready to take you into the pool."
Squinting her eyes at Booth, Brennan asked, "I thought you were going to take Christine to the wading pool? You usually do."
Shrugging his shoulders, Booth asked in return, "Now how can I do that and prevent Nina from hurting anyone?"
Shaking her head, Brennan looked at Nina and said, "Her swimsuit is very respectable. You and Steven are getting carried away."
Sighing, Booth exclaimed, "Hey, it was your idea to come down here to protect Nina. I was planning on staying in the room. Now Steven expects me to play bodyguard and that's what I'm going to do."
Shaking her head, Brennan looked at Christine and said, "I sincerely hope your father is a calmer person when you become a young woman."
Smiling, Booth said, "Don't worry about Christine, Bones. As soon as she's old enough, I'm enrolling her in Karate class and then teaching her how to shoot."
Rolling her eyes, Brennan carried Christine over to the wading pool. Booth turning back to where Nina and Steven were sitting sat down and complained, "God, I am going to be in a so much trouble when Christine is older."
Laughing, Steven said, "Yeah, thank God, Nina gave me a son."
Smiling, Nina said, "Have you seen Hank Joseph in the last few minutes?"
Turning his head, Steven saw Hank Joseph in the pool, talking to two women clearly a lot older than Hank Joseph was and who seemed to be taking a very personal interest in Hank Joseph.
Shaking his head, Steven muttered, "Shit."
Oooooooooooooooo
Well, they're in Las Vegas for Father's Day weekend and they're at the pool.
