Sorry I took so long for this one. Christmas time in the Booth-Brennan household.

"Dad! Mom!" The little boy came running into their bedroom, throwing his body in between the man and woman as they roused from their sleep.

"Five more minutes." Booth grumbled as he rolled over, flinging his arm over his fiancée's much slimmer midsection.

"Daddy!" The boy giggled. "It's Christmas! I'll go see if Sienna is awake." With that the eager little boy ran from the room and back down the hall.

Booth opened his eyes and look at the smile on his partner's face. "Ok faker, I know you're not awake." His fingers poked at her sides as she began to squirm and laugh.

"Booth! Stop it!" She cried as she opened her eyes and did the only thing she could think of to make him stop. A moan escaped his lips as hers pressed against his, her hands tracing the muscles of his bare chest.

Booth sighed as he pressed his forehead against hers. "We'd better get the rugrats downstairs before Parker goes crazy."

Tempe quirked an eyebrow as she watched Booth climb out of bed. "Those kids from that cartoon?"

Booth laughed lightly. "You're learning Bones. Rugrats is the TV show Parker likes so much but it's also a term for kids."

"Oh." She said simply as she stood and pulled her bathrobe over her body. "I'll get the… rugrats while you go make us some coffee."

"Sounds good." Booth responded as he walked over and placed a kiss on her lips before leaving the room.

Temperance walked down the hallway towards the nursery. As she neared she heard the sweet sounds of Parker's voice.

"Santa brought you presents too Sienna." Parker's voice suddenly turned to a whisper. "And if you can keep a secret I'll tell you what Daddy got Mommy."

"Hey Parker." Temperance made her presence known before she heard the surprise. "How's our little girl doing today?"

"She's good, Mom." Parker smiled. "Can you get her out so we can go open our presents?"

Tempe smiled at the little boy. "Sure. Why don't you go downstairs and make sure your dad is making her bottle."

"Alright." He said as he jogged from the room.

"Good morning my little girl." Temperance smiled as the baby looked up at her, her deep blue eyes growing lighter like her mother's by the day. Tempe lifted the baby from her crib and wrapped her in a soft knitted blanket before carrying her downstairs. When she reached the base of the steps Booth stood there holding a bottle in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other.

"Which one do you want to trade for?" He grinned as he leaned forward and pressed a kiss to the tiny girl's dark head of hair.

"How about you can have this little one and I'll take that steaming cup of caffeine." She smiled as she began to place Sienna in his arms.

"Geez Bones. Nine months without caffeine is enough to give up your beautiful daughter for just one cup?" Booth chuckled as he tilted the bottle up to feed Sienna.

"I'm not worried. She knows I love her more than I love coffee. I've just got a lot of making up to do on her account." Replied Tempe as she sipped the warm liquid.

"Mom! Dad!" Parker called from the next room. "Can I pass out the presents now!"

"Go ahead Buddy." Booth called as he carried Sienna into living room, Tempe following closely behind.

XxXxX

"I can't believe you got him a book about skeletons." Booth said as he sat back down after tucking Sienna comfortably into her basinet. Parker lay on the floor amongst an abundance of crumpled pieces of wrapping paper.

"What's wrong with that?" Tempe asked as she leaned over against him. "It's educational."

"You're going to turn him into a squint. There is a lot wrong with that." Booth said as he wrapped an arm around her.

"Booth it's perfectly natural for a boy of Parker's age to be interested in Science." Temperance whined.

A chuckle shook Booth's chest where her head lay. "You're right Bones. I apologize." He leaned down and placed a kiss to her hair. "Hey look." Booth pointed into the tree. "What's that?"

Temperance slid out of his embrace and carefully tiptoed around the paper and young boy that was sprawled out across the floor. She reached into the beautifully decorated tree and pulled out a small box with a sparkling bow on top. She walked back over to Booth, crawling onto the sofa and curling her legs beneath her.

"What is it?" She asked as she turned to face him.

Booth laughed. "Why don't you open it and see?"

Temperance quickly removed the bow and paper to reveal a velvet box. A smile graced her lips as she opened the box. Inside was a gorgeous gold chain with a small charm dangling at the end. "It's beautiful."

Booth leaned forward, resting his chin on her shoulder as he pointed to the charm. "These two stones on top are yours and my birthstones and that little emerald beneath yours is Parker's and the topaz beneath mine is Sienna's. I figured that they should be under ours to show that-"

Temperance cut him off, her voice weak and shaky. "What's yours is mine and what's mine is yours."

He smiled. "Exactly. You're Parker's mother just as much as I am Sienna's dad."

Tempe pulled the necklace from the box, handing it to Booth as she turned away and lifted her hair from her neck. "It's perfect."

Once the clasp was tight Booth placed a soft kiss to the exposed flesh of her neck. "Merry Christmas, Bones."

Tempe let out a contented sigh as she leaned back into her embrace. "I have a present for you too."

Booth chuckled. "You already gave me those nice socks and a new leather gun holster."

"Well this one isn't so much an actual present." She interrupted. "I was thinking what if we had a New Years party."

Booth craned his neck to look her in the face. "Wow, Bones. I'm surprised you believe in New Years."

"Why shouldn't I?" She asked, confused. "January first is a widely celebrated day established by the Gregorian calendar."

Booth laughed lightly. "It was a joke Tempe. I think a party would be really good."

"That's good." She smiled. "I thought maybe we could have our wedding then too."

"On New Years?"

"On New Years."

"Here?"

She nodded with a smile. "Here. As long as you don't mind not having it in church."

Booth flashed his charm smile. "I think I could let you talk me into it."

"Good." She snuggled back against him, closing her eyes. "I hope people wont mind the short notice."

Booth laughed as he tightened his hold on her. "I think once people find out that their favorite anti-marriage forensic anthropologist is tying the knot with her devilishly handsome FBI agent, they will be quick to forgive us." Booth looked down to see her eyes closed, a soft snore emanating from her slight ajar mouth. "Thank you, Temperance."

Christmas fluff for you all. New Years is next.
