A/N: I'm not sure about the age and the time lapse thing... but you know that it's been four years since Andrey was conceived... so if the age thing is wrong... I'm sorry, tell me and I'll fix it! Sorry ... I'm not good at the little stuff like that... or big stuff I guess just the fluff!

Oh and thanks for reading please review!


Sitting in the lounge of the lab they were getting caught up on each others lives. Brennan was made director of the Jeffersonian, but held the lead forensic anthropologist position with Zack. Angela Montenegro was now and had been for two years Angela Hodgins and Zack was dating a young woman, Amanda, he'd meet at the college he was teaching at.

Angela spoke, "And Russ and his girlfriend, do you remember her? Anyway, they were married and are now living in D.C." She smiled; "Their kids now have a cou--" she stopped speaking abruptly realizing that this was something that Brennan should tell Booth.

"Russ's kids have what?" he asked.

They all looked at each other, Brennan especially giving Angela a glare that could have rotted bone. She was about to speak when as if on cue a voice was heard coming up the steps, "Marco?"

As he stepped onto the upper deck with a hand belonging to a bundle of red-brown curls in his, Brennan looked at him, "Russ, this really isn't a good time."

Just then he noticed the man sitting beside his sister and his eyes widened, "Booth!"

Booth stood, smiling, "Hey Russ, hear you got married, she one of yours?" he pointed to the girl.

Russ looked at his sister; she shook her head telling him that Audrey hadn't come up yet. "Booth?" Brennan spoke from the couch. He turned to her, "She's our daughter."

"Who's?" He asked sitting heavily beside her.

Brennan's eyes widened hoping that he was the only one who heard her slip, "She's mine."

He looked from mother to child, still trying to figure out if he'd imagined her 'our' in the last words she spoke. "She looks just like you."

She smiled, "Mommy, is this …" she paused thinking as she walked to sit in between them, "Se, Se…the man in the picture on your desk, and the TV, and the coffee table and the bookshelf and your nightstand, and …""

She put her hand over her little girls mouth, smiling, embarrassed, at the man in question, "Yes, sweetheart, Seeley." Brennan found Booth sending her the charm smile and realized that it could still make her grin and feel as if she were on cloud nine. She then looked back at her daughter, "Remember he used to be my partner, but he had to move away on business."

"Hi." The little girl smiled up at him. She seemed to be a bit shell shocked at seeing this man right here in front of her.

"Hi! What's your name?"

She smiled a familiar smile; her fathers smile, at him, "Audrey Christine Brennan!"

Booth grinned at the girl, "I love your curls. When my son, Parker, was about your size he had curls like that." He gave her a wink and she giggled. Brennan had thought the same thing when she'd first noticed them on the girl, so did Dr. and Mrs. Hodgins, both of them teasing her about it. She had come to the silent conclusion that Booth must have also had curls when he was younger, or at the very least Parker's came from his genes.

The little girl hugged him suddenly and then jumped up, "Mommy can I go draw with Aunt Angela?"

"You'll have to ask Angela that."

"Come on sweetie," Angela jumped up from her seat, "Uncle Jack and Zack can come and help us, what do you say about that?"

The girl giggled and grabbed Jack and Zack's hand, "Come Aunt Ange!" Everyone laughed as she dragged them skipping to Angela's office.

Booth smiled and then a question fell on the tip of his tongue, "How old is she?"

Russ gave her a scolding glare, which seemed to say, 'Tell him!'

"She'll be four on Saturday."

Booth smiled slightly as he began to process things, "As I said before, she looks just like you, except her eyes." He had silent hope as he noticed the brown orbs.

"Gets them from her dad…acts just like him as well." Brennan said absently, laughing slightly.

Booth looked at her, happy to see her smile, "She said her name was Brennan, you didn't take Sully's name?"

She shook her head, "No…he's not…we never married," she thought about how to tell him this, "Her father left before she was born, he didn't even know of her existence until recently. And he still doesn't know he's the father." It wasn't a lie, it just didn't tell him the exact truth.
