Staring at the snakes in his father's aquarium, Michael grinned and slyly looked at Christine, "Dad says that your mother is afraid of snakes."

Indignant, Christine, Joseph and Hank turned to look at Michael. Hank, puffing his chest out, jabbed Michael in the back, "She is not. Mom isn't afraid of anything."

Turning to glance at Hank, Michael shrugged his shoulders, "Hey, I'm just repeating what my Dad said. He said she's afraid of snakes and so she has to be. My Dad doesn't lie to me about anything."

Squinting at her friend, Christine finally replied, "Your postulation is false."

Blinking at her Michael laughed, "Yeah, use the fancy dollar words all you like. She's afraid of snakes and hiding in the dictionary isn't going to change that."

Turning and staring at the snakes, Christine smiled, "Want to do an experiment?"

Suspicious, Michael folded his arms across his chest, "What kind of experiment?"

Tapping the glass of her uncle's aquarium, Christine smiled, "Let's take out a few snakes and carry them over to Mom's office. If she doesn't react like you think she will then you have to give Me, Joseph and Hank each a comic book from your collection, our choice."

Studying his best friend, Michael asked, "And what do I get if you lose."

Turning and glancing at her brothers, she responded, "We'll let you take one of our comics, your choice."

Pursing his lips, Michael smiled, "What comic book are you after, Chrissy? You can't have any of my Star Wars comics. Dad gave me those and he said they're an investment into my future. They may help me pay for part of college, well at least for books."

Disdainfully, she sniffed, "I don't want those."

Staring at the Booth children, Michael shrugged, "Okay, if you want to frighten Aunt Tempe then it's your Mom."

Laughing Joseph, shook his head, "My Mom won't be afraid. She may get mad but she won't be afraid."

Ooooooooooooooooooo

Booth sitting on the couch, waiting for Brennan to finish reviewing one of her interns papers, glanced at his crossword puzzle, "Island, begins with T and ends with A, five letters."

Writing on the margins of the paper before her, Brennan replied, "Tonga. It's an island south of western Samoa."

Penciling it in, Booth looked at the next clue, "An obsolete word meaning fitting, 7 letters, starts with A and there's a P in it."

Looking up, Brennan smiled, "Apropos."

Staring at Brennan, "That sounds like a made up word to me. Are you sure?"

Rolling her eyes, Brennan returned her attention to her paper, "Fine, do your own crossword puzzle."

Smiling, Booth penciled the word in. Hearing a shuffling at the door, Booth noticed his children and Michael Hodgins enter the room and walk over towards Brennan's desk. Shocked, he shot to his feet and yelled, "No, no, absolutely not. Take those out of here."

The children, not aware that Booth had been in the room, froze in place. Brennan, looking up from her desk, froze for a few seconds and then stood up. Keeping her eyes on the children, she quickly moved around her desk and over to her private bathroom. Opening the door, she stepped in and closed the door.

The children watching her retreat turned and looked at Booth as soon as the bathroom door closed. Crooking his finger, he then pointed it at the floor in front of him. Nervous the children shuffled over to where a very angry Booth was standing.

Placing his hands on his hips, Booth asked, "What the hell do you think you're up to?"

Glancing at the closed bathroom door and then back at Booth, Christine answered in a small voice, "Joseph and Hank and me wanted to show Michael that Mom isn't afraid of snakes."

Exhaling deeply, Booth pointed towards the doorway, "Take them back to where ever you got them from and then come back here. . . . Right now!"

Cam walking into Brennan's office as the children approached the doorway, stopped and backed up, yelling, "Oh God, snakes!"

Rolling his eyes, Booth watched Cam move away from the children as quickly as possible. Walking over to the doorway, Booth called out, "Sorry Cam. Sorry."

Watching her retreat down the hallway, Booth shook his head and turned to stare at the children, "I advise you to move it."

Hurrying out of the door, the children rushed to Hodgins' Ookey room and opened the lid on the aquarium. As Hank moved his snake towards Michael, Angela walked in the room and cried out, "What did you do? Cam is furious."

Startled, Hank dropped the snake and watched it quickly slither under the table and then around the credenza. "Uh, oh." Everyone's eyes on Angela none of them were aware that a snake had escaped. Hank, not wishing to get into further trouble, feigned innocence.

Michael, staring at his mother, tried to smile, "Mom, hey we just wanted to show Aunt Tempe, Dad's blue racers. It's not our fault that Aunt Cam is afraid of snakes."

Sighing, Angela tapped her foot, "How many times has your father told you to stay out of this room when he isn't in it. You are in big trouble, Michael Vincent, big trouble."

Pointing at the Booth children, Michael asked, "What about them?"

Shaking her head, Angela responded, "Uncle Booth will take care of them, you are my responsibility."

Swallowing, Michael opened the lid again and tapped Christine's shoulder, "Snake."

Handing him the snake, Christine turned and walked back to Brennan's office, her brothers following behind her. Walking into the room, she saw her father holding her mother in his arms standing next to the bathroom.

Rubbing her back, Booth murmured, "You were the one that wanted more kids."

Her face hidden in his shoulder, Brennan laughed very quietly, "So, I suppose one more is out of the question?"

Pulling her away from him, Booth stared at his wife, "Are you trying to tell me something?"

Shaking her head, Brennan smiled, "No, it was a joke."

Trying to smile and doing a poor job of it, he pulled her back into his arms, "He, he, very funny."

The children, not privy to the quiet conversation between their parents stared and worried. Leaning towards Christine, Hank whispered, "Thank God she isn't crying."

Scratching his head, Joseph sighed, "Yeah, but they're whispering. That can't be good for us."

Calling out to their father, Christine asked, "Are we in trouble?"

Hugging Brennan, Booth called out, "What do you think? You can expect an envelope from the Big Guy."

Sighing, Hank looked at the toes of his shoes, "Dang it."

Hearing a scream coming from down the hallway, Hank edged over to stand behind Christine and asked, "Gee, I wonder what's going on now?"

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Reviews would be great. Thanks.
