Are y'all getting sick of me yet? This is an unhealthy amount of updating I've done lately, but who really cares! You guys seemed to like the chapters with a little bit of fluff, and a little bit of the more serious stuff, so I tried to do that again. I've got some good ideas for upcoming chapters, including baby names (I think I'm hilarious with these names, so prepare yourselves)! Again, your reviews make my day and really encourage me to keep writing. Suggestions are welcome!

"CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, CONNECTICUT AND MORE!" Christine sang loudly from the back seat.

"Do we really have to listen to this educational music, Bones? I think it's clear she's mastered the 50 states." Booth said from the driver's seat.

"Oh, well we could change it to the periodic table of elements song if you'd prefer, Booth." Brennan suggested.

"No Mommy!" Christine yelled from the back. "I like this one! And so does my baby brother and sister." Christine protested. Booth laughed, that was the third time today Christine had decided what her baby brother and sister did and did not like.

"Well, looks like you're outnumbered Booth." Brennan laughed.

"NEW YORK, NORTH CAROLINA, NORTH DOKOTA, O-HI-OOO!" Christine returned to her loud singing.

"Okay." Brennan said. "So we are having lunch with Hank and Jared at the nursing home and dinner with Max, correct?" Brennan glanced at Booth to make sure their itinerary was correct.

"Yep." Booth agreed. "That should give us plenty of time to tell them the news and get back to the other side of town. And Christine will have time for a nap on the drive from Pops' to Max's, you too if you're tired." Booth added.

"WYOMING IS THE LAST STATE IN THE FIFTY STATES THAT RHYMEEE!" Christine finished her song even louder than she had begun it.

"Are we there yet, daddy?" Christine asked, two seconds after she had finished singing.

"Nearly bub." Booth replied. "5 minutes."

"Mommy my baby brother and sister want to listen to the periodic table song, please." Christine said to her mother. Laughing, Brennan changed the disc.

"HYDROGEN, HELIUM, LITHIUM, BERYLLIUM!" Christine sang along with the disc.

"Oh goody." Booth said, rolling his eyes. "My favorite!" He added sarcastically. Leaving one hand on the wheel, Booth reached his arm over and place his hand on Brennan's stomach. "Did you two want this song? Huh? Huh?" Booth asked jokingly, rubbing Brennan's baby bump playfully.

"My baby brother and sister did, daddy." Christine said in a matter-of-fact way from the backseat. "I was sharing with them and letting them choose a song. I'm a very good big sister." Christine announced.

"You sure are, bub." Booth agreed, laughing.

"These two are very luck to have you." Brennan added, placing her hand on her belly, overlapping Booth's.

"Well I think that went very well." Brennan remarked as she climbed her way into the passenger seat of Booth's SUV that was parked in the retirement village car-park. "Well Pops was certainly excited, I don't know about Jared though." Booth replied, shutting the back door of the car after securing a sleeping Christine into her car seat.

"What do you mean, Booth?" Brennan asked confused, "I thought they both seemed very happy." Brennan stated.

"Well, you know, Jared's always wanted what I've got, Bones." Booth replied. "And look what I've got! I can't blame him for being jealous." Booth said happily as he hopped into the driver's seat and reached for the seat-belt.

"Jared is married, and you're not, Booth. Doesn't that count as a victory for Jared in your competition?" Brennan asked curiously.

"No." Booth said simply. "I don't need a piece of paper to prove that you love me and that we are going to spend the rest of our lives together. And besides, it's not a competition, Bones." Booth clarified.

"That's very sweet, Booth." Brennan smiled. "Although I thought you did believe that a piece of paper added some sort of value to a relationship." Brennan added. Booth swiveled in his seat so he was facing Brennan directly.

"Don't get me wrong, Bones, I would marry you any day, but you and I? We don't do anything the normal way. That's what makes us, us." Booth replied, trying his best to explain himself in a way that made sense.

"I'm not quite sure I understand, Booth." Brennan looked at Booth, confused.

"What I'm trying to say Bones, is that I love an amazing, brilliant, beautiful, intelligent woman who believes in a lot of things. Marriage just happens to be one of the things you don't believe in. It's just one of the things that makes you who you are. And I love who you are, Bones. I wouldn't want to change anything. So that includes what you believe." Booth explained, taking one of Brennan's hands in his grasp.

"Thank-you Booth. I think I understand." Brennan smiled and squeezed his hand. "But does that mean I changed you, Booth?" Brennan asked, it was quite evident to Booth that she wasn't confident with what she was asking.

"What do you mean, Bones?" Booth asked, wanting to make sure he answered the right question.

"Well, in this circumstance, we both had beliefs, and those beliefs conflicted." Brennan attempted to explain. "But you changed your beliefs for me, rather than me changing my beliefs for you." She said it in a tone that Booth had heard before, but only rarely; the times when she was doubting herself or her competence.

"No, Bones. Hey, look at me." Booth said, seeing that she was avoiding looking him in the eye. Booth put a finger under her chin and lifted it, forcing her to look at him.

"You changed for me more than you realize." Booth said warmly. "You didn't believe in love when we met, Bones. You didn't believe in relationships or having children, and look where we are now. And of course you changed me. You make me a better man everyday." He smiled at her, seeing her confidence returning.

"I didn't think of it like that." She said, taking her hand up to meet Booth's which was resting on her cheek.

"Bones, I know this is a lot. I know. But we'll just take it one step at a time, alright." It had just clicked in Booth's mind where all of Brennan's self doubt was coming from. "You are a fantastic mom, Bones. Okay?" Booth could tell he had struck a chord. "If you need to cut back on your hours after the babies are born, we can do that. I can spend less time out in the field, okay, we can figure this stuff out as we need to. You and I, together, we can do anything, remember? That's what you said." Booth said. Brennan nodded, smiling.

"Thank-you Booth. I feel much better now." Brennan said. "But do you think we can just go home? I'm more tired than I was expecting to be. I'll just text dad. I'm sure he'll understand." Brennan finished.

"That sounds like a good idea, Bones. We'll go home and relax." Booth said smiling, buckling his seat belt and putting the car into reverse.
