"Mommy, why can't I go with daddy and Parkey?" Christine asked her mom as they waved goodbye to Booth and Parker.

"Because, Honey." Brennan began, "You get to see Daddy all the time, but Parker only gets to see him sometimes." Brennan explained.

"But I only get to see Parkey sometimes too." Christine argued with her mother.

"I know, baby, but we have to let Parker have some alone time with Daddy." Brennan replied. Christine nodded.

"Okay, Mommy. Now we can have alone time together." Christine said, now understanding the situation.

"That's right." Brennan said, smiling, "What should we do?" She asked Christine

"We could make Parkey his favorite dinner!" Christine said, her eyes lighting up.

"I have a good idea." Brennan said, bending down so she was level with Christine, "We can set up the tent and camp in the backyard tonight. You and I can cook Daddy and Parker their special dinner on the fire and maybe we can roast some marshmallows as well." Brennan suggested to Christine.

"Yes Mommy! Can we! It will be a surprise for Parkey and Daddy when they get back!" Christine's pitch was approaching a squeal.

"Alright, we will have to go to the store later, but I believe it would be best if we set up the tent first, since that will take the longest time." Brennan thought aloud. Brennan looked up and realized Christine was running to get the tent, giggling as she ran.

"Wait for me!" Brennan yelled as she ran after her daughter.

"Okay, so if we hammer these nails in here, I believe we should be done." Brennan said, reading the instruction manual that Christine was holding for her.

"It is very big, Mommy!" Christine exclaimed, "We will have lots of room for all of us!"

"Indeed it is." Brennan agreed, it had taken them a while to assemble. Brennan bent down and hammered the nails into the grass, securing the tent to the ground.

"What's next on our to-do list, Christine?" Brennan asked as she stood up and brushed the grass off her knees.

"The store!" Christine answered, "We need to get graham crackers, chocolate, marshmallows, and stuff for dinner." Christine concentrated, making sure she didn't miss anything.

"Okay, let's go!" Brennan said as she picked up Christine and headed for the car.

"What do we still have to get, Christine?" Brennan asked her daughter who was sitting in the shopping cart she was pushing around the store.

"Ummm, what do we have already?" Christine asked, not sure of the answer to her mom's question.

"Chocolate?" Brennan asked. Christine looked around her in the cart and found the chocolate.

"Check!" Christine replied.

"Graham Crackers?" Brennan asked. Christine again looked around and located the box of crackers.

"Check!" Christine said.

"Hamburger and veggie patties?" Brennan asked. Christine already knew the answer,

"Yep! And we have salad and hamburger buns as well." Christine was serious about her responses.

"Okay, so what are we missing, Christine?" Brennan asked, she already knew what they had, and what they needed, but she knew Christine liked helping.

"Umm..." Christine was trying to remember what they were missing, "Marshmallows!" Christine said triumphantly.

"Good job, Christine!" Brennan smiled. "Let's go and find the marshmallows!"

When Booth and Parker returned home, Christine and Brennan had just finished dragging mattresses and pillows into the tent, and were waiting in the living room. As soon as she saw them, Christine ran towards Booth and was hoisted up into a hug.

"We have a surprise!" Christine squealed. She wriggled in her dad's arms trying to get down. Once she was down on the ground, she grabbed Parker's arm and began to drag him outside,

"Follow me, Parkey!" She ordered, "Mommy, get Daddy!" She yelled, already out of the room. Booth and Brennan both laughed at their daughter's bossiness as Brennan linked arms with Booth and followed Christine to the backyard.

"Woah! Dad! Look at this!" Parker exclaimed as Booth and Brennan caught up with the kids. Booth looked out to see their tent set up, filled with pillows, blankets and mattresses, and a fire going in the pit he had made.

"Wow!" Booth said, smiling, to Christine, "Did you do all of this, Christine?"

"Mommy and I did, Daddy!" Christine was still squealing. "We are going to sleep out here. We even are going to make dinner out here! We got hamburgers for you and Parkey, and veggie burgers for me and Mommy!" Christine said, without taking a breath.

"Can we go inside!?" Parker said excitedly.

"Yeah, I'll show you!" Christine said as she crawled into the tent, Parker not far behind her.

Booth looked at Brennan, whose arm was still linked with his, and smiled.

"Thanks, Bones." He pulled her closer and kissed her hair, "Parker is going to love this."

"You're welcome, Booth." Brennan replied. "It was fun." She cuddled into Booth's chest.

"How are you feeling?" He asked, placing a hand on her stomach.

"I don't feel any different. Just happier." Brennan replied, smiling. Booth lent down and kissed her on the lips. Christine and Parker re-emerged from their mansion of a tent, their faces beaming with happiness.

"Mommy! It's time to cook dinner!" Christine said, as she ran into the kitchen to start gathering everything they needed.

"I'm coming, baby!" Brennan replied, following Christine into the kitchen. Booth watched Christine and Brennan dissapear into the kitchen, then turned to see Parker smiling at him.

"This is the best day, ever!" Parker said to Booth.

"It sure is, buddy." Booth said, as he sat by the fire and listened to Parker's ghost story.
