"Parkey! Parkey! Parkey!" Christine yelled excitedly as Rebecca's car pulled up, Christine ran to the car.
"Hi Becca." Christine yelled as she ran past the driver's window. Right as Parker opened his door, Christine ran into a hug.
"Hey Christine!" Parker hugged her back, smiling. "Dad!" Parker yelled excitedly when he saw his dad, "Come on Christine, let's go." Parker said, taking Christine's hand as they ran over to their dad together. Booth picked up Parker as he hugged him, and then picked up Christine with his other arm.
"You say bye to your Mom?" Booth asked Parker.
"Bye Mom!" Parker yelled over to his mother.
"Bye Becca!" Christine copied him. Rebecca pulled out of the driveway, waving out the window.
"Alright, buddy." Booth said, putting Parker back on the ground. "You're getting a bit heavy for your old man!" Booth said laughing.
"Hi Parker!" Brennan said, smiling.
"Hey Bones!" Parker gave Brennan a hug.
"Parkey, come see my new books!" Christine said, wriggling in Booth's arms trying to get down. Booth let her down, kissing her on the head as her feet hit the ground.
"Christine, why don't you show Parker your books and then bring him back down to the kitchen for lunch." Brennan suggested to her daughter.
"Okay Mommy." Christine agreed. "Let's go Parkey!" Christine grabbed her older brother's hand and dragged him into the house.
Booth moved closer to Brennan and wrapped his arms around her.
"I love when my whole family is together." Booth said to Brennan. "Even you little one." Booth whispered as he placed his hand on Brennan's stomach.
"I love you, Booth." Brennan said, smiling. Booth kissed his girlfriend.
"I love you too, Bones." He then grabbed her hand with his and began dragging her into the house just as Christine had done with Parker.
"Let's go Bones!" Booth laughed, and so did Brennan.
Booth, Brennan, Christine and Parker were sitting around the table eating their lunch. Parker was talking about school and sport and Christine would repeat every detail about last night about three times. Just as they were finishing their lunch, Christine turned to Parker.
"Mommy and Daddy are having another baby, but I told them that I was their baby, so I don't think they need another one." Christine said to Parker. Parker looked over at Booth, who was looking at Brennan, who was looking at Christine.
"Daddy also has you, Parkey, so I think that he is just being greedy." Christine said, not realizing that everybody else had stopped what they were doing.
"Okay." Booth said, pushing his chair back away from the table, "You two come here." Booth said, gesturing to his lap. Christine sat on one knee, and Parker on the other.
"We are going to have a baby, even if you don't think we should, Christine" Booth confirmed to them. Christine was frowning and Parker was smiling.
"I hope it's a boy!" Parker said. "I've always wanted a brother." Parker hopped off his dad's lap and walked over to Brennan, he placed his hand on her stomach.
"I love him already." Parker said to Brennan. Brennan hugged parker and replied,
"It could be a girl, but I would be very excited if it were a boy, too." She said, agreeing with Parker. Christine was still sitting on her dad's lap, frowning. Everyone looked over to her.
"Honey, just because you'll have a little brother or sister, doesn't mean you won't be our baby." Booth said to her. "You'll always be our baby."
"Although you won't always be a baby, you will always be our baby" Brennan clarified for Christine, who she could see was confused by Booth's words.
"Do you promise?" Christine asked her parents.
"Of course we do." Booth said, hugging Christine.
"Okay." Christine said, her frown disappearing, "But I want a sister, I already have a brother." She said as she walked over to her Mom. Christine stood in front of her mother, hands on her hips, and said to her mother's stomach, "I'm your big sister, which means you have to do what I say, and I say that you have to be a girl." she ordered firmly.
"It doesn't work quite like that, honey." Brennan said, pulling her daughter in for a hug.
"But good try." Booth said, laughing.
