A/N: After having a discussion with friends about how little we saw of baby Hank this popped in my head…


Brennan shifted Hank's weight in her arms and reached for her phone on the nightstand. "What are you doing, Bones?"

"I'm going to call dad and have him bring Christine home."

Booth sat on her side of the bed, "Bones, you just had a baby not even three hours ago! You have to be exhausted."

"I'm not tired…"

"Once your adrenaline crashes you'll be exhausted and sleep."

"Possibly."

"We agreed that Christine would spend the night with Max so you could rest and we could have time with Hank."

"I know, but it's still early she could see him before she goes to bed. You know she won't sleep tonight because she's so excited."

"I know, but you need rest quiet and bonding time with Hank. "

"I can rest and bond with Hank with Christine here. She'll settle down once she meets Hank."

"How about setting the alarm on your phone for an hour and taking a nap, then when you wake up you can call Max and ask him to bring Christine home?" Brennan nodded and set her alarm. Booth took Hank and put him in his bassinet next to the bed. Booth went around the side of the bed and got in, he put his arm around Brennan. "Are you okay, Bones?"

"Yes, I'm starting to get a little tired…"

"Sleep…"

"Only for an hour…"

"Yes, then Christine can meet Hank…"

"Okay."

Brennan snuggled close to Booth and fell asleep. Two hours later Brennan woke up when Booth kissed her cheek, she stirred. "Booth, did I sleep through my alarm?"

"Yes, by an hour…I called Max, he and Christine will be here in a half hour."

"Thank you, Booth."

"You're welcome, Bones. Do you need anything?"

"No." Booth kissed Brennan's cheek and got up. Twenty minutes later Booth let Christine and Max in the house. "Daddy, can I see the baby now?"
"Yes, he's with mommy. You have to be quiet, he's only five hours old and isn't used to loud noises yet."

"Okay. Can I hold him?"

"Yes, mommy or I will have to help you."

"Okay."

"How is Tempe?"

"She's fine. She's tired, the baby took longer than Christine. Everything was perfect."

"Good. I'll only stay for a few minutes; Tempe needs to rest and the four of you need to spend time together without grandpa hanging around."

"Max, you can stay as long as you want."

"I'll come by for the afternoon in a couple of days. I just really want to know what my grandson's name is…"

"Bones and I didn't decide until he was born." Booth picked up Christine and headed for his and Brennan's bedroom.

Brennan smiled as they walked through the door. "hey sweetheart, come meet your baby brother." Christine suddenly got shy and buried her head in Booth's shoulder. Booth chuckled and rubbed her back, "Why are you shy all of the sudden?" Christine shrugged a little. Booth walked to the bed and sat next to Brennan and sat Christine in his lap.

"Christine, meet your brother, Hank Joseph Booth." Max gasped a little, Booth smiled. "We named him after Pops…"

"No, you didn't, his name isn't Pops.."

Booth laughed and kissed the top of Christine's head, "Everybody but me you Parker and uncle Jared called Pops Hank."

"Even mommy?"

Brennan leaned over and kissed Christine's cheek , "I called him Hank too."

"Oh. Can I hold him now?"

"Yes." Brennan started to get up.

"Stay there, Tempe." Max quickly walked to her side and took Hank. "He's beautiful, Tempe. I see a lot of you as a baby in him."

"I see a lot of Booth too. He looks just like Booth's baby pictures that Hank Had."

Max put Hank in Christine's arms, thankful she was in Booth's lap and he was giving Hank most of the support. After he stepped back, Max pulled out his phone. "lean in, Tempe." Brennan leaned into Booth and Max took the picture. After a few minutes Booth kissed the top of Christine's head, "Christine, do you think we should let grandpa hold Hank for a while? You can hold him again later."

"Okay, if you're sure I can hold him later."

"I'm sure. Come get him, Max." Max walked over and scooped up Hank. "Hey buddy, I'm your grandpa Max. your great grandpa and namesake Hank was a good man and your dad will tell you all about him. I can tell you he was a shark of a diamino player." Christine scooted closer to Brennan.

"Hi sweetheart, did you have fun with grandpa?"

"Yeah, we went to the playground."

"That sounds fun."

"it was, we fed the ducks."

"Your favorite thing."

"Yep. I'm hungry."

"I can take her to the diner and bring something back for you two if you want it."

"I wanna stay here!"

''I can go get something for the three of you then."

"I want daddy to make toad in the hole.."

"All right, I'll make it in a little bit."

"That's my cue to leave.." Max walked over to Brennan and handed Hank to her.

"Dad you can stay longer…."

"No, you need to rest. I'll come over in a day or two. Congratulations, he's perfect." Max leaned over and kissed Brennan's cheek.

"Thanks, dad."

'Max I'll walk you out, then I'll make Christine's toad in the hole. Do you want anything, Bones?"

"Some fruit salad and yogurt."

"You got it." Booth picked up Christine and headed for the kitchen. Twenty minutes later Christine was eating her toad in the hole, Brennan was next to her eating her fruit and yogurt, Booth joined them with a plate of scrambled eggs and toast. "Breakfast for dinner always hits the spot."

"Yes, the pineapple tastes exceptionally good…"

"How's your toad in the hole, Christine?"

"Good. I don't want the blueberries."

"You don't have to eat them."

"Can we watch a movie after we eat?"

"Maybe tomorrow, mommy needs to rest."

"But you said we could…"

"That was before your brother thought this afternoon was a good time for his birthday."

"But.."

"Finish your dinner and get ready for bed and we can watch one movie in our room."

"Okay. Can we watch 101 Dalmatians?"

"Yes."

"Yea.' Fifteen minutes later Christine was getting ready for bed.

"Are you sure about this, Bones?"

"Yes, we'll snuggle for a little bit, she'll fall asleep and then you can put her in bed. I think that's what she really wants. As excited as she is about being a big sister, it's a big change for her."

"Us too."

"Yes, but I wouldn't change anything."

"Me either."

Christine walked in the bedroom, "I'm ready to watch the movie." Brennan patted the space next her, Christine happily climbed up next to her. "Can Hank watch too?"

"He's too little to understand what's going on and he really can't see yet, but I'll hold him so he can be with us."

"Okay." A little bit later Brennan laid Hank mostly in Christine's lap. "I can hold him again?"

"Yes, just sit still and watch the movie."

"Okay." Christine looked down at Hank and smiled a little then started watching the movie again. A half hour later Brennan got Booth's attention, "she's asleep, Booth…"

Booth smiled, "She's had a big day. Take Hank and I'll take the big sister and put her in bed." Brenan took Hank as Booth walked around the bed and picked up Christine, she stirred. "go back to sleep, Christine, I'm just putting you in bed."

"Mommy…" Booth leaned over so Brennan could give her a kiss. "Goodnight, sweetheart. I love you. See you in the morning."

"I'll be back in a few minutes. Do you need anything?"

"Some ice water would be nice. I'm going to change Hank."

"Okay. I love you, Bones."

"I love you too, Booth."
