This is a continuation of JBCFlyers19 prompt.
Thanks for reading my story. Thanks for the reviews too. It's fluff; so, I hope you are enjoying it.
I don't own Bones.
Oooooooooooooooooooo
At noon, Brennan heard someone knocking on the front door. Curious, she left the kitchen and went in to the living room to see who their visitor was. Opening the door, Brennan found Sweets standing on the steps with three festively wrapped presents in his arms.
"Oh hi, Dr. Brennan. I just stopped by to drop off my presents. I hope I'm not interrupting lunch."
Shaking her head, Brennan replied, "No, Booth and I had to go out to a crime scene very early this morning; so, we're going to be eating lunch late today."
Nodding his head, Sweets stared over Brennan's shoulder, "Uh huh . . . uh huh. Good. So . . . Uh . . . Want me to bring in the presents?"
Stepping back, Brennan allowed Sweets access to the doorway.
Sweets, walking into the living room, took a deep breath and remarked, "Wow, something smells really delicious."
Closing the door behind her, Brennan pointed to the couch near her, "You can lay your presents over there if you'd like. If you'll wait, I have a present for you too."
Walking past Sweets, Brennan retrieved a wrapped box from under the tree and brought it over to where Sweets was standing. "Booth picked it out."
Nodding, Sweets smiled, "I'm sure it's nice. Thanks. . . . So, where is everyone? . . . Maybe I could say hello."
Pointing to the man cave, Brennan responded, "Booth, Dad and Christine are in the man cave. They're watching a movie."
Pointing toward the man cave, Sweets placed his present on the couch and walked away from Brennan, "I'll just say hello and then leave."
Watching Sweets walk across the room, Brennan then returned to the kitchen.
Walking into the man cave, Sweets found Booth sitting in his recliner holding Christine and Max sitting on the couch next to him.
Booth, noticing Sweets first, frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Putting on a big smile, Sweets replied, "I just dropped off your Christmas present and I thought I'd just say hello before I leave."
Smiling, Booth responded, "Oh, ok, Thanks. . . . So, big plans today? I bet you have some really nice plans for the day."
Shaking his head, Sweets replied, "Well, not really. I don't have any family. I just thought I'd heat up a frozen dinner and watch a little TV . . . by myself."
Getting the message, Booth sighed, "Want to stay here and eat lunch with us? . . . . Of course, we're just going to watch Christine's movies that Max gave her and then probably something else. I promised Bones that she could pick the movies today; so, God help me, I haven't any idea what she'll want to watch. It will probably being boring."
Smiling, Sweets replied, "Oh, thanks. I mean yeah, sure, I'd love to stay for lunch and I love movies."
Rolling his eyes, Max stood up, "I'll let Tempe know that there's another mouth to feed."
Sitting down on the couch, Sweets asked, "So what are we watching right now?"
Turning his attention to the screen, Booth answered, "Toy Story. It's about talking toys. . . Don't get all shrinky and tell me that the movie has some hidden meaning. Just watch it."
Nodding his head, Sweets replied, "Of course."
Glancing at Sweets, Booth noticed Sweets relax and cross his legs. Realizing that Sweets was probably feeling lonely on a day like today, Booth remarked, "Bones made a big turkey. She said she had a feeling we might have company today. She said something anthropological and then said it was inevitable. I guess she hit that nail on the head."
Smiling, Sweets responded, "Dr. Brennan has really grown insightful since she's had her baby."
Oooooooooooooooooooooooo
After lunch, Sweets asked Booth and Brennan to open his presents. "I'm sorry Max. I didn't know you were going to be here or I would have brought you a present."
"No problem kid. I don't have anything for you either."
Smiling, Sweets watched as Booth opened his present and found a Flyers Jacket.
"Wow, Sweets. You shouldn't have bought me a present like this."
Shrugging his shoulders, Sweets replied, "I wanted to."
Soon Brennan and Christine's presents were open and Brennan's Flyers jacket was revealed as well as Christine's Flyers Jersey.
Putting the jacket on, Brennan admired the warmth. "Thank you, Sweets. If will be very warm when we go to the games."
Picking up the present that he had bought Sweets, Booth handed it to Sweets to open. Booth laughed while watching Sweets tear the paper, "You're going to love the irony of this present."
Puzzled, Sweets opened the box to find a Flyers jacket inside. Laughing, Sweets took the jacket out of the box and put it on. "Cool. We're all set for the next game."
Max, a little jealous, looked on and remarked, "You look real cute, Sweets."
Booth, realizing that no one had given Max his Christmas present, walked over to the tree and hauled out a wrapped box. Walking over to Max, Booth handed the present to Max. "Merry Christmas, Max."
Grinning, Max replied, "Oh, this is nice. Thanks." Tearing off the paper, Max then opened the box to find a Phillies jacket inside. Holding it up, Max gave Booth a puzzled look.
Laughing, Booth explained, "I know you don't like hockey; so, I got you the baseball jacket instead."
Putting the jacket on, Max admired the coolness of the weave and replied, "No, you're right. Thanks, it's a great present."
Nodding her head, Brennan remarked, "We're a sports oriented family, Dad. You'll get used to us."
Sniggering, Max replied, "Yeah, I don't think so Tempe. My genius of a daughter married a jock. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that . . . And I mean never."
Smirking, Booth snaked his arm around Brennan's waist, "Well then it's a good thing we didn't need to rely on your imagination, Max."
Oooooooooooooooooooooooo
