A/N: The word for the final chapter is escape and takes place somewhere in season 11 or 12…

The beeping of the motion detector woke Booth letting him know someone was moving in one of the kids bedrooms. He got up took the gun from the safe in the bedside table then he glanced at the video feed from Hank's room in time to see the 21 month old attempting to climb out of his crib. Booth quickly put the gun in the safe then walked to Hank's room. Booth scooped Hank up just before he managed to get his leg over the rail.

"Hey, hey Tiger where are you going? Booth situated Hank on his hip. "Out!"

Booth chuckled and kissed the top of the toddler's head. "Tiger, you can't climb out of your crib, you could fall and hurt yourself. If you got hurt mommy and I would be very sad… You don't want us to be sad do you?"

"No."

"If you want out of your crib call for me or mommy and we'll come get you out, okay?"

Hank nodded and grabbed a handful of Booth's t-shirt. "It's still nighttime do you want to go back to sleep in mine and mommy's bed?"

Hank nodded and laid his head on Booth's shoulder. Booth kissed the top of Hank's head as he reached into the crib and grabbed Hank's stuffed frog and favorite blanket before heading to his and Brennan's bedroom. Booth climbed back in bed with Hank in his arms, Brennan stirred. "Booth?"

"I caught Hank trying to escape from his crib…"Hank scooted over and snuggled close to Brennan, she covered him up with his blanket and kissed the top of his head. "You can't do that, sweetheart."

"I thought it would be easier to put him in bed with us for the rest of the night instead of batting staying in his crib the rest of the night." Brennan nodded and pulled Hank closer as he fell back asleep.

The next morning Brennan woke up to Hank laying half on top of her and Booth watching them.

"Morning, Bones."

"Good morning, Booth. Have you been watching me long?"

"No. I've only been awake a few minutes. How'd you sleep?"

"I slept surprisingly well, he isn't as restless as Christine is when she sleeps."

"That's good. What should we do about his 3AM escape attempt?"

Brennan ran her fingers through Hank's hair and looked up at Booth, "I'm not ready for him to move to a bed. Christine was almost two and a half before she climbed out… How old was Parker?"

"Becca moved him to a toddler bed on his second birthday. I put it together after we had spaghetti and cake. I kept him in the pack and play until he got too long for it. At that time I had a crap one bedroom apartment and he slept in it in my room. When I got the apartment I had when we got together I moved in on my non Parker weekend and when he stayed the next weekend he just got in the twin bed like no big deal. I'll lower his mattress for tonight and we'll see what happens."

"Okay."

At a little after four the next morning the motion detector beeped. Booth and Brennan sat up looking at the monitor, Hank was attempting another escape. "Looks like I'll be converting his crib into a toddler bed this afternoon…"

"…I'll get him…" Brennan got up and quickly left the room. Booth watched her get Hank before he was over the side. Brennan sat in the rocker with Hank until he was asleep again then she put him back in his crib. She climbed back in bed and snuggled next to Booth. "He said he wanted to play, but he was asleep in five minutes…"

Booth chuckled, "at least he has a reason for climbing out…"

"Yes, but I don't know if putting him in bed without rails will prevent him from playing all night and not sleeping."

"I think once the challenge of climbing from the crib is removed it won't be an issue. Besides if he does get up to play we won't have to worry about him hurting himself climbing out of the crib."

"Yes."

B&B

That night Booth and Brennan tucked Hank into his toddler bed with its new construction trucks sheets and matching blanket.

"There you're all tucked in with your frog, ready to go to sleep right?"

"Uh-huh."

"Good. Remember you can't get up until the sun wakes up or mommy or I come get you up…"

"Uh-huh."

"Good night, tiger." Booth bent and kissed Hank's forehead.

"Good night, baby." Brennan bent and kissed Hank's forehead.

After making sure the night light was on, Brennan followed Booth out of the room. A half hour later Booth found Brennan in their room watching the camera feed from Hank's room.

"Bones, he's asleep… are you going to watch the feed all night?"

"Yes…"

"No, you're not. You're going to come watch TV with me. I'll make you popcorn and I'll even put M&M's in it."

"…but…"

"The app on my phone will alert if he gets up. We'll check on him before we go to bed." Booth walked over to the bed and started pulling Brennan to her feet. "Come on Bones. Hank will be fine, I promise." Brennan looked at the video feed one more time before she followed Booth out of their room. At seven the next morning Booth and Brennan were awakened by Christine and Hank climbing into their bed wanting waffles…

A/N2: that's the end of this challenge, hope you liked it. I'll pick back up with the summer 2019 challenge in a few days…
