A/N: I meant to write this before the mother's day chapter, but skipped it in my outline…

Christine was a month old today, Brennan couldn't believe it; she'd grown and changed so much. Brennan also couldn't believe her maternity leave was more than half over. Brennan looked up as she heard the front door open and Booth entered. "Hey Bones how was your day?"

"Good we went to the lab to see dad, I ended up helping with science club. He needed another pair of hands. Angela watched Christine."

"What did you do?"

"We disrupted the surface tension of a liter of cola, dad's kick off to summer science club experiment."

"Parker loved that."

"I know we can do it this weekend if he wants."

"He'll want to." Booth unstrapped Christine from the swing and sat on the couch so that she was cuddled between him and Brennan. "what about you baby girl did you enjoy seeing grandpa?"

"I think she did, she didn't cry."

"That's good."

"Yeah. Booth, do still want to do a couple night feedings?"

"Sure if you want me to."

"We need to get her used to taking a bottle, there will be times when I can't go to daycare and feed her. Plus I could use a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. We can try it before she goes down for the night and if she'll take the bottle you can do one or two feedings."

"All right."

Later that night Brennan handed Christine to Booth and he headed to the nursery, Brennan followed shortly with a bottle. "Don't force her to take it, she may never adjust…"

"I'm not going to force her to do anything she doesn't want to do." Brennan smiled and handed Booth the bottle. "I'm gonna go take a real fast shower."

"Take your time Bones, Christine will be fine, she'll take her bottle and then we'll cuddle..."

"Okay."

Forty five minutes later Brennan found Booth in the rocker with Christine sleeping on his shoulder. He held up the empty bottle.

"She took it?"

"Yep, she wasn't too keen on it at first, but once she figured out it wasn't like her pacifier and she'd get something out of it she took it and fell asleep as soon as she was done."

"Good, you can do a feeding or two tonight and we'll see how it goes."

"Great!"

"Are you going to stay up and hold her a little bit longer?"

"Yeah."

Brennan smiled and walked over to the rocker and kissed the back of Christine's head."Goodnight baby girl. I love you." Brennan turned to Booth and gave him a kiss, "Goodnight Booth, I love you."

"Night Bones, I love you too."

Two hours later Christine woke up and Booth rolled over and squeezed Brennan's hand." I got it Bones go back to sleep."

Booth got the bottle and set it to warm up while he changed Christine's diaper. He grabbed the bottle and sat down in the rocker."Christine you're gonna have to put up with daddy for a feeding or two a night so mommy can get a little more sleep. You don't mind do you as long you get to eat and besides we get to bond a little more. You know I never got to do this with your brother; I was on deployment when he was born. I didn't get to see him until he was almost a year old. I'm not going to miss any of your childhood, neither is your mom."

Across the hall Brennan smiled into her pillow and turned up the volume on the baby monitor as Booth started to hum/ sing to Christine who Brennan could tell by the sound of her breathing was asleep.
