Christine's Pov

As we arrived at Katherine's school I couldn't help but smile. When I had handed my assignment to Mr. Donovan only a day after he had given it out, let's just say I have never seen him turn so red since I had met him. Apparently it wasn't only because I had practically shoved his ridiculous assignment in his face. Apparently dad had told Dr. Sweets about what my teacher had done and Sweets had talked to the school board. Mr. Donovan was probably going to be fired, which meant I was going to have a talk with Sweets when I saw him next.

Another plus was that our friends were spewing because we were practically ignoring them for the moment. They had tried to talk to us, but we just pretended they hadn't existed. In the end they had promised not to say anything about how Michael and I should be together, according to them anyway. When I thought about it, I didn't think they were so wrong. I mean I didn't know about Mick, but I was pretty sure I was falling for him.

"There's Katherine" Michael said and I looked up to see Katherine running toward the car, a bright smile on her face. I had to admit she was one of the happiest kids I knew. I was kinda thankful this Ute had more than two seats. I guess that's what you get when you buy a double cab triton Mitsubishi. Katherine opened the back door and climbed in quickly.

"Hi Mickey, hi Christine" Katherine said brightly and I turned to smile at her. Katherine had her dads blue eyes and curly long hair. Michael leant back into the back and ruffled her hair, causing her to try and push his hand away. "Michael, cut it out" She complained.

"Sorry, can't do that sis, now would you like to go to the park and then the diner first, or go straight to the Jeffersonian" Michael asked and Katherine's face lit up. Typical Katherine, she loved the park more than anything in this world.

"Park and diner" She said and Michael and I smiled at each other as he pulled out of the car park.

"So Ladybug, how was school?" Michael asked, using the nickname Hodgins had given her before she was born and had just kept using it.

"It was great, but I wish I was in high school with you two" She said and I shook my head.

"Trust me Kat; you really don't want to be in high school yet. Enjoy Elementary school, they classes are way more fun" I said with a smile.

We arrived at a big park not much later and she was going before Michael and I could even get out of the car. I grabbed the basketball out of the backseat and followed Michael as we went over to the small basketball court, which was empty right now.

"Seriously, Kat really likes the park" Michael said and I looked over to see Katherine already on a swing, which was not too far from the court.

"Yeah she does, now prepare to lose" I said and I started running across the court, bouncing the ball as I did. I reached the basket and threw the ball up, getting it in the net easily. Michael caught it and smiled.

"Huh, not bad, but not as good as me" He said and he threw it up over his head, getting it in. He was a damn good basketball player, which was obvious since when it wasn't football season, Michael was playing basketball. Me, I was more of a soccer, basketball and gymnastics girl. Plus dance, but we sort of both did that, not that our parents knew that either. Really, we hadn't told them a lot of things.

"Smartass" I said and he gave me his trade mark cocky grin. I snatched the ball off him and started dribbling it, making sure to keep it away from him.

As I worked on my new painting since there was nothing I could help with on the case right now, I waited for the kids to show up. I wanted to see my daughter, but I also wanted to have a talk with my goddaughter. It was then that Hodgins walked into the room, his phone in hand.

"I think Michael and Christine are trying to avoid us" Hodgins said and he handed me the phone. I placed down my pallet and brush and looked at the message that was lit up on the screen.

Have taken Katherine to the park and then we're going to go get something to eat, be at the Jeffersonian. Michael

"I think you scared them off babe" Hodgins said and I handed him back the phone.

"It's like Booth and Brennan all over again. They both have feelings for each other, but they won't admit it" I said. I did not want a repeat of Booth and Brennan again, but then if they had got together earlier Christine probably wouldn't have been born when she had.

"Maybe they're both just scared Angie. I mean they're just teenagers. Maybe they are afraid their feelings may change later on and they don't want to risk their friendship" Hodgins said and I knew he was right, but I could tell it was real between them. They were falling in love.

"I get that Jack, but tell me you don't see how much they care about each other" I said and Hodgins smiled as he lent down and kissed me.

"I see it Angela, but I don't think they can yet. They know their feelings, but they don't know each other's. We just have to let them realize their feelings on their own, we can't interfere." He said.

"I know, now you should get back to work. Booth and Caroline want this case solved as quickly as possible" I said and he gave me one more kiss before he left.

As we sat in the diner together I smiled as Katherine drank her very big strawberry milkshake. She was having chips and nuggets, while both Michael and I were having Burgers, fries and cokes.

"Michael, are you and Christine dating?" Katherine asked suddenly and I looked at her in shock as I dropped the chip I was going to eat back onto my plate. Michael was giving her a similar look, but his was closer to a 'why does my eleven year old sister think I'm dating Christine'. I was wondering the same thing.

"Kat, where did that come from?" Michael asked and Katherine shrugged.

"Lana told me that her big brother Ford said something about the two of you dating" Katherine said casually and I shared a look with Michael. We were both going to kick Ford's arse tomorrow, that was for bloody sure. "So are you?"

"No Kat, Christine and I aren't dating" Michael said and Katherine gave us a confused look.

"Then why did Ford say you were?" Katherine asked.

"Because he's an idiot" I offered helpfully as I went back to eating my food. I couldn't believe that even Katherine thought we were together.

"Maybe he just thought you were because he thinks you two are cute together" Katherine suggested and Michael groaned.

"Katherine, I have mom on my case already, I don't need my little sister to join in and tag-team me" Michael said and Katherine smiled.

"Okay, now can we go to the Jeffersonian, I want to see mom and dad" Katherine said and I nodded, placing money on the table for the food along with Michael.

"Lets go" Michael said and he got up with Katherine, while I trailed behind as I wrote a TXT to Ford.

Christine - We're having a talk tomorrow about a VERY important matter, the matter being how much trouble you're in with Michael and me.

I held my phone in my hand and followed after Michael and Katherine. I climbed into the passenger side seat and my phone went off right then.

Ford - Why, what the hell have I done to piss you two off

I shook my head at the message and started hitting the letters

Christine - You'll find out tomorrow, just be warned

"Did you just warn Ford that I'm going to kick his ass?" Michael asked and I nodded. Katherine didn't notice because she was listening to music and play a game on her touch pad.

"Yep" I smiled and he shook his head as he focused on driving. We arrived at the Jeffersonian at no time and Katherine ran to instantly find Angela, while I headed to the Bone room since I saw Dr. Sweets and dad in there with mom.

"Hey dad, hey Sweets" I greeted as I walked into the bone room and he turned to look at me.

"Why do you call me Sweets instead of Lance like you used to?" He asked and I smiled. Yay, now I could put my dad in an awkward position.

"Dad told me to do it because it annoys you" I said and Sweets turned to give dad an accusing look, while dad leaned closer to me.

"That was supposed to be our little secret" He said, covering his mouth as he did so Dr. Sweets didn't see. I just shrugged of course and gave him my most innocent look.

"You really told her to do that?" Sweets asked and he didn't look surprised.

"Not exactly" Dad said and I gave him an accusing look. He was not going to make me look like a liar. "Okay yes, I told her to do that"

"You're unbelievable sometimes" Sweets said and now I gave him the accusing look, as well as my dad, which made them both look at me in concern. I pushed dad so he was standing beside Dr. Sweets and looked in between both of them.

"Speaking of unbelievable, did you two seriously go to the school board and report my history teacher so he would get fired?" I demanded and Sweets shook his head.

"No, I simply informed your school that your teacher was abusing his power as a teacher and assigning you an assignment that was inappropriate, simply due to the fact that he was jealous of your intelligence" Sweets said and I glared at him.

"Okay, I'm going to make this clear. You do not interfere in my life unless I come to you personally. I was fine with doing the assignment and I already handed it in, which is when I confronted my teacher myself" I said and he nodded, so then I looked at my dad. "And you. You may be my dad, but that doesn't give you a right to go complain to Sweets behind my back. It was my assignment, not yours, so you had no right to tell him" I said.

"Yeah, I got that Christine. But I never actually told Sweets to go to the school board" Dad said, defending himself quite well.

"Well then you're excused" I said simply and he smiled at me.

"What was your teachers face like when you handed him the assignment a day after he gave it to you?" Dad asked and I smiled.

"He went red in the face. He thought I wasn't going to do it, which meant he would have been able to fail me. I told him that there was nothing he could do that would cause me to fail" I said and dad smiled, pulling me in for a hug.

"That's my girl, proving no one can take you down" Dad said and I smiled. I really did love my dad, but I still wasn't going to tell him about my feelings for Michael. That was way too weird and I didn't want to talk to mom about it because she'd just start being scientific about it. It was right then that Michael came into the room and I saw dad give him an odd look.

"Hey can I borrow Christine? I need help on my English assignment" Michael asked and I pulled away from dad.

"No problem" Dad said and Michael and I left to go to do his assignment, as well as mine.
