"Bones, are we expecting a package from Christine?"

"No, not that I'm aware."

"Well, she sent us something. It better not be body parts!"

"Booth, I highly doubt our daughter would send us body parts in the mail…"

Booth opened the padded envelope and pulled out a small box and a letter. The box said 'open first' the letter said 'read last' Booth looked at Brennan, she shrugged and took the box from Booth. Brennan pulled the lid off to reveal a 'grandparents to be' ornament with their granddaughter's birth month above her first ultrasound photo and her birth year under it.

"…Bones, we're going to be grandparents…"

"Yes. It's wonderful news. I wonder why Christine didn't wait and tell us when everyone is here next week for Thanksgiving?"

"She probably explains it in the letter…" Booth started reading aloud:

"'Dear Mom & Dad or should I say Grandma & Grandpa,

We wanted to tell you and everyone else at dinner that baby girl Warner will be here May 2037. Unfortunately baby girl is giving her momma horrible unpredictable morning sickness that lasts all day. I'm fine, I haven't needed to go to the hospital or anything like that, but I don't want to be on a plane and be sick the whole time. I also don't wanna be in a car for 12 hours or more diving to D.C. from Chicago. I'm bummed Tim and I won't be there for Thanksgiving this year. Hopefully I'll feel better by Christmas and we can come then… We sent Parker and Hank 'world's greatest uncle' t-shirts Julia got 'world's greatest aunt.' The ornament is for the tree.

Love you guys,

Christine, Tim and baby girl'"

"I'm happy that we're going to be grandparents. I wish Christine and Tim were going to be here though…"

"Me too, Bones. You know since we took the week after Thanksgiving off to visit with Christine and Tim while they were here we could fly to Chicago Sunday after Hank, Parker and Julia leave. That way you can check on Christine and make sure she really is okay. Maybe we can do a small Thanksgiving dinner with them when we get there. I'll cook."

Brennan smiled a little, "I am concerned…"

Booth kissed Brennan's temple, "I know, I am too a little. Go book our flight and call Christine while I get our tree so we can put it up…"

"Okay. Booth Thanksgiving isn't for another 10 days. We always put the tree up on Thanksgiving…"

"I know, but I wanna hang our new ornament!"

Brennan laughed, "Okay. I love you, Booth."

"I love you too, Bones."

B&B

Christmas Day 2037

Parker, Julia, Christine, Tim, baby Lauren and Hank were all gathered at Booth and Brennan's house for Christmas. Brennan found Booth in the living room showing Lauren the ornaments on the tree. "Booth, Lauren has no idea what you're showing her or what you're saying…"

"Maybe, but she is content. She got Christine up at 4. I got up at 5 and told Christine that she could go back to bed. Lauren and I've just been hanging out, she's not sleepy yet…"

"You gave Christine the best gift you could…"

"I know. She gave me Lauren then she gave me a kiss and a hug before she went back to bed." Booth smiled.

"I'm going to start making the breakfast casserole and cinnamon rolls. You two can keep me company if you want."

"Sure, Bones. This is going to be the best Christmas…"

"It has been so far. I miss not seeing Christine as much as we did before, especially now. "

"I know, me too. We could move to Chicago, there is an opening at the field office for a supervisory Agent. I know Northwestern would fall all over themselves to get you as faculty."

"It's tempting, but if we moved to Chicago we'd miss the grandchild that will be here next year…"

"Bones…"

"Julia is pregnant, they're probably going to tell us today."

"But how do you know?"

"Subtle changes in her gait in preparation for birth for one. Two she keeps resting a hand on her stomach, I don't think she realizes she does it. Third Parker is more protective of her. You were the same way when I was pregnant with Christine and Hank."

'Bones, we're going to be grandparents again! I can't wait!"

"Neither can I." Brennan kissed Booth and Lauren, "Merry Christmas, Booth. Merry Christmas, Lauren."

"Merry Christmas, Bones."

A/N: See you tomorrow for day 12…
