B/N: Thanksgiving is celebrated and Brennan doesn't celebrate it alone, she also manages a miracle.

Another three weeks flew by in the camp and during that time they were covered in monsoon waters. While the sight has been saved, the team had to pack and were flown to Darwin as the Indonesian government had no place for them. They were lucky because they warning in time.

It was quite a down time for everyone, being able to take a break from the excavation work and relax for once. Luckily mail was diverted so they received it on time.

Sweets, Daisy and Brennan sat talking when Raj came in the small conference hall the expedition was renting. "Mail!"

Everyone stood and waited for their mail to be handed out, as team leader Brennan got hers first followed by Daisy and the rest of the crew.

"Oh and Dr. Brennan, you have a package too big to deliver here." Raj turned to look at the doorway and Brennan followed his eyes to find Angela and Hodgins there.

"Hey Sweetie," Angela came over and hugged her, "oh my God…when did this happen?"

Brennan stood and hugged Angela again, stepping back as Hodgins came walked over. "How far along are you?"

"Thirty-two weeks, it's a girl…Elizabeth Christine."

Sweets looked at them, "what are you two doing here?"

Angela smiled, "well we heard about the whole monsoon situation and decided to come visit but we're not the only ones…Cam and Michelle are coming, we're going to have thanksgiving as a family…Cam's idea not mine. The only one missing is Booth but when I talked to him last he said he couldn't come so oh well, but this is great." Angela touched Brennan's belly, "our girls can play together…wait hold on, who's the father."

"You won't get it out of her, she hasn't told anyone." Sweets looked at Angela, "I've tired, Daisy's tried but she tells no one."

"Because it's no one's business."

Brennan sat down and flipped through a piece of mail to find one from Parker and another from Booth. Opening Parker's, she read it and found it was only another drawing but this time of stick figures in a pit by what looked like a skeleton. The note made her smile:

I hope you find some bones…Dr. Bones. Love Parker.

She opened the letter from Booth but looked up to see Sweets and Daisy talking with Angela and Hodgins. Opening the letter, she read the contents and smiled.

Bones,

It's hot as hell out here, sand storms are whipping us at every turn and that's nothing, I heard about the monsoon so I hope you're out of the storm.

I'm sure you're doing great and wish I was there, I heard everyone is flying in for Thanksgiving, Cam's idea. I'm sorry I won't be there for Thanksgiving or Christmas but I have only so much leave and I need that for the birth.

Anyways, I got to go but I love you both.

Booth

P.S. Tell Elizabeth Daddy loves her.

Brennan folded the letter up and placed it in the envelope before tucking it in her pocket along with Parker's drawing. She quickly jumped into the conversation about Hodgins and Angela's trip to Paris.

Cam was due to arrive that weekend and Thanksgiving was on Thursday. Soon everyone was talking about plans, the excavation team was invited to join them, as Angela said Cam insisted they join the Jeffersonian team for dinner.

The team went to the airport three days later and waited for Cam and Michelle's plan to land. They watched as the two exited and waved.

"Come on…you're not serious." Cam looked at Brennan as she hugged everyone, "two of my team is pregnant, how far along?"

"I'm eighteen weeks but Brennan is thirty-two weeks along…guess what, both girls."

"No kidding," Cam eyed Brennan, "you're actually allowed to excavate at thirty-two weeks?"

Brennan nodded, "there's no restriction on excavations, no age or health restrictions regarding pregnancy."

The days passed by and they prepared for thanksgiving, the hotel was kind enough to provide everything for dinner but they said they would handle it all. Cameras were out for everything as well as a computer.

Thanksgiving day, Brennan attempted to have a three way video conference between herself, Booth and Parker. After persuading an officer to give her just ten minutes, Booth's face was seen.

"Bones…what…I've used up all my satellite time."

She smiled and clicked a key, Parker's face was seen, "say hello Parker."

Parker waved and smiled at his father, "hi Daddy, Happy Thanksgiving."

"Happy Thanksgiving Bub, how are you?"

"I'm great, Mommy and I are celebrating with Grandpa and Grandma. I miss you and Dr. Bones a lot."

The team came over and looked at Booth, "hey Booth, Happy Thanksgiving."

"Hey it's the squint squad…so you are all celebrating in the jungle of Indonesia?"

"Actually we're in Darwin until the monsoon stops, we're still unsure of when that will be." Brennan looked at everyone and they backed off, going back to their tasks. "We miss you Booth, you too Parker. I have to go help but you have eight more minutes to talk to each other."

"I love you Bones."

"I love you both, Happy Thanksgiving."

She left the two to talk and joined in the team in making dinner. After several hours of fixing dinner, everyone sat down and ate. Laughter filled the room and jokes were made. The excavation team were made unofficial members of the Jeffersonian Squint Squad.

"Hold on a moment," Hodgins stood and held up his glass, "I'd like to take a moment and let us all remember those of us who can't be here today. Our mothers, fathers, children, husbands, wives and all other family and friends. We maybe eating among strangers or just colleagues but right now, at this moment as we share this food…we're family. So to all those who don't work at the Jeffersonian, I'd like to announce that as of now you are all unofficial members of the Jeffersonian Squint Squad and believe me, that is an honor."

Everyone laughed and clapped, Brennan stood next and eyed everyone. "While I'm not one for speeches or sentiments, I'd like to say that while I've been on this excavation, I've felt like a part of a family. My family was left behind when I came to do this but they have found their way back but even when they are not here, as many of our families are not here…we find ourselves part of a family.

"Anthropologically speaking, a family is two or more persons who make up a group and while we are not all anthropologists, we can certainly call ourselves family. We live together, work together and play together and that in itself defines family. To family."

"To family." Everyone spoke as she sat down and food was dug into.

A/N: The team still can't leave, the monsoon hasn't stopped so they're stuck in Darwin for Christmas. While Cam, Michelle, Angela and Hodgins leave, everyone else has to stay.
