Christine Angela Booth is a few weeks old and both Booth and Brennan are happy and can hardly tear their eyes from their new daughter. Brennan is blooming in her new role. Seeley has hardly even seen her so happy during the whole day.
"Honey I am home." "I am in the nursery!" He walked up the stairs and into the nursery where he finds her in the rocking chair with Christine in her arms. She is feeding her. He could see that she is exhausted. But he knws that it is useless while she is feeding.
After putting their daughter to bed they met on the couch. "Temperance how about I do a bath for you so you can relax a little while she is sleeping." "That is a very nice idea but not tonight. I just want ot relax in your arms on the couch Seeley." "Whatever you want to do honey." He wrapped his arms around her tighter as he felt her snuggle into him even more. He knows that she had a hard time expecting that her mother would never meet their daughter. She also had a hard time forgiving Russ that he had left shortly after her parents went missing. He just held her and let her relax into him. "I never thought that I would love being a mother so much Seeley." "I am glad that you love being a mother so much. You are a good mother to Christine. Do not ever doubt that." "I promise you that I will try not to doubt myself so much." "That is all I am asking honey." "OK." She snuggled into him and hid her face in his neck. "I miss you being at home during the day." "I know. You know that I am spending as much time with you and Christine as I can." "I know. I guess I just miss having you around." "But you can still visit me at the office and I will still be at home as much as possible Temperace." "Thank you." "It is alright." He stroked her back knowing that it is one way ot ensure that she gets some sleep in the little time she has until their daughter wakes up.
