It was Booth and Brennan's first Christmas as a couple, Booth was excited, but he was trying to tone down his excitement a tad because he didn't want to overwhelm Brennan. Their relationship and the pregnancy were still new for her and he knew at times she still had a hard time wrapping her mind around all the changes of the last few months. Booth sat the last box of Christmas decorations in the living room. "That's the last of it. Let's start with the tree."

"Okay." Brennan stood and watched Booth place ornaments on the tree, after a minutes he noticed Brennan wasn't putting ornaments on the tree. "Bones, grab an ornament and put it anywhere on the tree. I'm not one of those people that has to have everything on the tree perfectly placed. I usually do this with Parker, so as long as you don't put every ornament you take out of the box on the same branch you're good."

"Okay." Brennan picked up a reindeer ornament and put it on a branch.

"Good spot, Bones. Just think next year we'll be decorating the tree with Christine …" Booth couldn't help grinning.

"Booth, she'll only be ten months old, she won't be able to help us decorate the tree…"

"She can watch us, we can put her in her highchair or stroller so she can watch, but not be in the way… she'll like looking at the lights and all the shiny ornaments."

"I can see where the tree and decorations would be visually stimulating for a child…"

Booth chuckled a little as he walked over to Brennan and kissed her, "I love you, Bones."

"I love you too, Booth."

They'd been decorating the tree for a while when Booth turned to Brennan. "Bones, do you have anything you want to put on the tree?"

"No…Wait, I do…" Brennan headed for the bedroom only to come back a few minutes later with a shoebox that she handed to Booth. He raised an eyebrow, Brennan nodded and Booth opened the lid. "The ornaments I've given you every year since we spent Christmas in the lab. I wondered what you did with them…."

"I hung them on the middle shelf of my built in bookcase, it had hooks on the underside. I think they were for mugs. I put them out on Thanksgiving…" Booth sat Brennan's box down and picked up a small box containing the ornaments she'd given him. "I always put the ornaments you gave me on last." They put their ornaments on the tree together, in order side by side. "I got you an ornament for this year, Bones."

"I got you one too."

"Do you want to put them on the tree now or wait until Christmas Day?"

"Now is good, that way we can enjoy them longer."

"Okay." Booth went to the closet and got a small box and came back to Brennan. "I haven't wrapped it yet…"

"Its fine, Booth. Yours is upstairs."

"I can get it…"

"I'm perfectly capable of going upstairs and getting your ornament, Booth…"

"Okay…" Brennan turned and started for the stairs. A few minutes later Booth and Brennan were sitting on the couch. Brennan handed Booth a box, he opened it to find a hockey playing Santa. He laughed, "I love it, Bones, it's perfect."

"You're welcome, Booth. I'm glad you like it. I saw it and thought it was perfect for you because it combined two of your favorite things." Booth smiled and kissed Brennan before handing Brennan her box to open. Brennan pulled the lid off to reveal a 'parents to be' ornament with Christine's birth month above her first ultrasound photo and her birth year under it. "Oh Booth…"

"Do you like it?"

"Yes…I love it…"

"I'm glad. I thought we needed to remember the occasion with an ornament."

"We do."

Booth got up and placed both ornaments on the tree side by side, then he sat back on the couch, putting an arm around Brennan she leaned into him.

A/N: See you tomorrow for day 5…
