"Mommy, I think the horsey-go-round is over there!" Christine chimed, pointing away from the direction her mother was pushing her stroller.

"I know, Christine, Mommy just has to go to the bathroom first." Brennan said, madly rushing towards the bathroom as quickly as a pregnant woman with a three year old could madly rush.

"Oh. Okay." Christine sat back in the stroller, content with Brennan's answer, and laughing at the fast pace they were flying through the crowd. As Brennan approached the bathroom, she felt a familiar sensation growing in her throat. It seemed the combination of fatty foods, ferris wheels and running through a crowded fair didn't agree with her stomach. Although determined to make it to the bathroom, her body had other plans as she suddenly stopped and lent over a bin, releasing the angry contents of her stomach.

"MOMMY!" Christine cried, blocking the sound with her hands over her ears.

"It's...okay...ba...baby" Brennan attempted to reassure her screaming daughter any chance her mouth wasn't busy.

"NO MOMMY! NO!" Christine screamed again, and before Brennan knew what was happening, Christine had managed to escape from the confines of her stroller and run, panicked, into the crowd.

"CHRISTINE!" Brennan yelled as another wave of nausea sent her back to the bin.

Booth and Parker had just reached the top of the line when Booth's phone rang.

"Next two please!" The ride attendant called.

"Dad, that's us!" Parker chimed, pulling on his dad's arm.

"Hang on buddy. Bones is calling. Let the people behind us go ahead, we'll go on after we see what Bones wants, okay?" Booth explained as he stepped to the side of the line and pressed the answer button.

"Hey Bon-" Booth answered

"BOOTH!" Brennan sobbed into the phone.

"Bones! What is it?"

"I- I was sick and she- she ran and I can't find her.. Booth please - find my baby." Brennan was hysterical.

"Shit. Okay Bones. It's alright, I'll find her. You need to take a breath, and calm down. This isn't good for the babies. Tell me where you are." Booth had Parker by the arm and was dragging him towards the section of the fair he assumed they would be in. "Okay, find a seat and don't move. We'll find her Bones." Booth comforted as he hang up the phone.

"Parker, I need you to do something for me, okay?" Booth was trying to stay calm for everyone, although inside he felt just as terrified as Brennan had sounded.

"Anything dad." Parker agreed. He wasn't a dumb kid, he could tell his dad's phone call what was going on.

"I need you to go find Bones, okay? Go find her and sit with her, hold her hand and keep her calm. When you get to her, get her phone and text me that you're with her. She's at the merry go round, do you know where that is?" Parker nodded. "Good. Go straight there, and don't get lost, okay buddy?" Booth instructed.

"Okay, dad. Got it." Parker turned and headed off to perform his duties.

"Okay. Shit. Shit. Shit." Booth took in a deep breath and tried to think where his little girl would go, when her saw the police recruitment tent out of the corner of his eye. On top of the tent was a large banner that could be seen from most of the grounds.

"Police. Yes. She likes the police." Booth said to himself, as he ran off in the direction of the tent. As he was running, his phone beeped, informing him a text message had been received. He pulled out his phone and read the message.

~ With Bones.~

That's my boy, he thought, shoving his phone back into his pocket. As he turned a corner, he felt his heart start beating again at the sight of his little girl sitting on the counter of the police tent, talking to two officers.

"Oh thank god." Booth sighed and picked up his pace.

"DADDY!" Christine squealed as she saw her dad appear behind the two policemen she was talking to.

"Oh princess, you scared me." Booth admitted as he pulled Christine into his chest.

"I sorry daddy. But I went to the police, just like you are daddy." Christine announced proudly.

"You should never run away, Christine. Mommy or daddy should always know where you are." Booth said sternly.

"But mommy was sick." Christine's bottom lip began to quiver.

"I know baby, I know. Just promise you will never run away again. Just put your hands over your eyes next time." Booth suggested.

"Oh I did daddy!" Christine responded, "But I kept running into things when I was running, so I stopped." That made Booth and the two police officers laugh.

"You've got a smart girl there, most kids wouldn't know to go to the police." One of the officers commented.

"My daddy says police are the good guys, and they fight the bad guys. So I knew if a bad guy tried to get me, the police would kick them. " Christine explained in a matter-of-fact tone. The three adults laughed. Booth extended his hand in thanks, and the officers shook it.

"Thank-you." He nodded towards them.

"Alright, let's get you back to mommy. You really scared her." Booth said as he positioned Christine in his arms.

Parker was holding Brennan's phone in one hand, and Brennan's hand in the other when the phone beeped.

"He found her!" Parker announced.

"Oh my god." Brennan exclaimed, and started crying again.

"It's okay Bones, don't cry. He found her. She's safe now." Parker reassured Brennan, wiping away the tears from her face. "Dad says you shouldn't get upset, it might hurt the babies." Parker added.

"I know. Thank-you Parker." Brennan pulled him in for a hug, and that's what Booth saw as he approached them at a table in the eating area, Brennan's head buried in Parker's golden locks, her arms squeezing him around his waist.

"I sorry mommy." Christine said quietly when they reached the table. At the sound of Christine's voice, Brennan's head snapped up and the tears started again.

"Oh baby come here!" She sobbed, reaching out for her baby girl. Booth bent down next to them and kissed Brennan's hair, brushing it behind her ears. "Bones, baby. It's alright." He whispered into her ear. "Stop crying. Just breathe." He whispered again, rubbing soothing circles on her back.

Booth had decided that everyone needed a break from the crowds, and had herded back towards the car. They had sat in the trunk on the car and eaten the birthday cake they'd made for Parker and he had opened the presents from them. Now Christine was asleep in her car-seat, and Parker was busy playing the new game they had bought him on his DS in the backseat. Brennan was outside the car, leaning against the passenger side door when Booth returned from finding a bin for the plates and wrapping paper mess they had made in the back of the car.

"Hey Bones. How are you feeling?" He asked, standing in front of her, one hand on each side of her rounded belly. Brennan sighed and looked up into his welcoming brown eyes. "I was just thinking, I don't know what I would have done without you and Parker today." She admitted.

"Well good thing we don't have to find out." Booth said, leaning in and stealing a kiss.

"I don't like to be co-dependent upon others, Booth. I can't even look after my own daughter" Brennan sighed again. Booth smiled.

"Well at least it's not for too much longer, Bones. In six weeks you'll be back to being superwoman. I promise." Booth planted a kiss on her forehead. "And until then, we'll just have to get Christine one of those leash things you see ids wearing these days." Booth joked.

"My child will not be wearing a leash, Seeley Booth. She is not an animal!" Brennan protested. Booth laughed.

"I was just kidding Bones." He said into her lips, as he stole another kiss.

Well, there you go! I told you a long one was on its way! Please review, it makes my day and I just love hearing from all you interesting people!
