Hell
Parker and Christine were spending the night at Max's. He'd said something about a science experiment.
Angela and Hodgins were keeping Hank overnight. This would not only give Booth and Brennan a night alone, but would also give Hodgins and Angela a taste of having a second baby.
Booth and Brennan had their romantic dinner out at a place with a little jazz ensemble then returned home to enjoy their tub, and their bed, and then their kitchen, after a little middle of the night snack. A person can really work up an appetite having a romantic evening.
"Do you think Hank is doing alright tonight? It's his first night away from us, and he is a baby who likes his routines. Maybe we should call and check up on him, maybe even go pick him up?" Brennan worried.
Booth reached out and took her hands in his. "Bones it's 2 am, I'm sure if there were any problems they'd call us. We'll just let them sleep and we'll pick him up in the morning, then get the other kids from Max and have a family breakfast out."
…
"Oh my god, what kind of special hell is this? Why won't he just go back to sleep? Brennan said he nurses at 10pm then usually wakes at 2am for another feeding then goes right back to sleep until 6am. First he doesn't go to sleep until midnight then up at 2 and now it's now 4am and he's still refusing to sleep!" Hodgins groaned weakly since he was too tired to really work up the energy for a real complaint.
"Yeah, I'd forgotten how tough a middle of the night session can be. Remember Michael Vincent seemed to be the kid who never needed sleep. Bren keeps saying Hank isn't like that though."
"I think they're just getting me back for that last incident when they were all at the lab." Hodgins offered his latest conspiracy theory.
…
The banging on their bedroom door woke them up. With a groan Hodgins checked the time. 5:43 am. "Mommy and Daddy I'm up, I had a bad dream." Michael Vincent called through the locked door.
