Chapter twenty two: Russ Brennan Residents
It was dark outside by the time Russ pulled into the driveway of his house.
"We're here." Russ mumbled stopping the car.
Booth look at Brennan who was asleep, "Bones, honey wake up." He whispered gently shaking her.
She groaned, "I'm up…are we at Russ's?"
Booth nodded, "Yeah, how are you feeling?"
"Better." Brennan sighed resting her hands on her stomach.
"Uh oh." Russ laughed, "We have company."
Booth, Brennan, Jared, Max, and Russ stared out the window. They could barely make out two figures charging towards them.
"Dad! Dad!" the voices were barely audible.
Russ got out of the car, "Hey girlies!" he laughed.
"Dad!" Emma and Haley laughed as they ran into their step father's arms.
"We missed you!" the girls mumbled into Russ's chest.
"I missed you guys too…guess who I brought home with me." Russ smiled.
"A puppy?" Haley and Emma asked their eyes growing large.
"Nope, even better." Russ motioned for Brennan, Booth, Jared, and Max to come out.
Max and Jared got out Brennan's wheelchair while Booth helped Brennan out.
The girls gasped, "Aunt Tempe!" The girls ran over and hugged Brennan.
Brennan gasped in surprise, "Hey girls be careful with your Aunt Tempe." Russ said sternly.
"It's okay Russ. Hi girls." Brennan smiled hugging them back.
"Are the babies here?" Haley asked looking around.
"Not yet, do you want to feel one kick?" Brennan asked.
"Yes!" Brennan toke Haley's and Emma's hand and place them on her stomach. She watched the girls' eyes grow large.
"I felt one!" Haley gasped.
"Me too!" Emma yelled.
"Where's your mother girls?" Russ asked looking around.
"She's cooking dinner, come on!" Haley and Emma said taking each of Russ's hands in there own and tried pulling him towards the house.
"Okay, okay." Russ laughed following the girls.
"You guys coming?" Russ asked turning his head around to look at Brennan, Booth, Jared, and Max.
"Yeah." They replied. They followed Russ inside.
"Amy honey, I'm home." Russ called taking off his coat.
"Russ?" a slender blonde woman walked into the room.
"Russ!" Amy ran up to Russ and jumped into his open arms.
"I've missed you so much!" she said between kisses.
"Ew, get a room!" Jared mumbled.
Booth glared at him, "Shut up Jared." He hissed so it was only audible for Jared's ears.
Brennan looked at the two brothers confused, "What?" she questioned.
"Nothing…" Booth and Jared mumbled in unison.
"So, does everyone like parmesan chicken?" Amy asked.
"It's good." Booth said.
Amy smiled, "Russ, why don't you and the girls sow Booth, Temperance, Max, and Jared their rooms?"
"Sure, girls?" Russ called. Emma and Haley were at his side instantly.
"Come on, we'll show you!" The girls said excitedly running up the stairs.
"Bones, I can't get the wheelchair up the stairs…" Booth said.
"Oh no Booth, I can walk! You don't have to carry me!" Brennan said crossing her arms defensibly.
"I'm going to have to carry you, your ankle is broken." Booth said.
"Booth no!" Brennan yelled as Booth swiped her up into his arms and carried her up the stairs bridle style.
"This room is your room." Russ said pointing at a door. "Jared, your room is two doors down and dad, your room is two doors down but it's on the right."
"Dad! Dad!" Emma said tugging on Russ's shirt. "Come see what Haley and I did to our bed room."
"We cleaned it all up!" Haley said with her hands on her hips.
Russ laughed, "Well, I'll let you all settle in while I go and see what all of this clean room fuss is."
Booth pushed open the bedroom door and carried Brennan to the bed. She frowned at him as he gently placed her on the bed.
"I could have walked." She pouted.
Booth sighed, "You're not walking until the twins are born."
Brennan gasped angrily, "What! Why? Just because my ankle is broken doesn't mean I can't walk! It will only take a few weeks to heal as will my wrist."
"At the hospital they said it would be a good idea if you were on bed rest for the rest of your pregnancy." Booth informed.
Brennan huffed, "Nothing will keep Dr. Temperance Brennan from doing what she loves, not an ankle or a huge pregnant stomach."
Booth laughed, "Unfortunately, that is not your decision to make." He bent down and kissed her.
'Booth, please don't do this to me." She pleaded looking up at him with sad eyes.
Booth sighed, "Don't think you can charm your way out of this one Bones. It is too late; my decision has already been made."
Brennan sighed, "This is so unfair."
Booth laughed, "You'll be able to walk before you know it, I promise."
"But I'll be walking around with twins attached to my breasts every five seconds!" she whined.
Booth smiled at her, "Just wait until they're teenagers..."
"Booth, you're about to push my last button don't push me!" Brennan growled.
"Okay, okay!" Booth said waving his hands in self-defense, "I'll stop."
"Good." Brennan said smiling. "Now let's relax and watch some television before dinner."
Booth sat down beside. Brennan snuggled up beside him and he pulled her into an embrace.
"Booth?" Brennan mumbled.
"Hm?"
"Do you think I'll be a good mother? What if I abandon them just like my mother did to me? What if they don't like me?"
"Bones," Booth said gently tilting her chin up with his index finger, "You're going to be the best mother around. You won't abandon them. And of course they're going to love you, how could they not?"
Brennan's eyes began to tear up, "You really think so?"
He smiled and kissed her forehead, "I know so."
