How's the TV working out?
A/N: Just a short little something and more of a follow-up to the episode than a missing scene. I also have an idea for another involving Booth and Caroline and that background check, but not sure if it's really needed. I'll see how it goes. Anyway I hope you enjoy this little bit.
Brennan arrived at their favorite bench with both the children. She parked the stroller next to her end and released the straps holding Hank. She was lifting him out when Christine called out "They're here." and ran to greet Angela and Michael Vincent.
Brennan settled onto the bench with Hank on her lap and watched as the trio walked up to her; the children chattering away to each other. Angela sat next to Brennan and started making faces at Hank while the kids finally decided there were going to play on the swings first. There were two empty swings side by side, perfect for a contest to see who could swing higher.
As they raced to the swings Brennan called out. "Christine, remember what I told you about your center of gravity." As she moved to sit on the swing, she smiled, nodded, and waved to her mother."
Angela looked up to Brennan, "No fair, you're coaching her!" With a confused look Brennan just asked. "What?"
"Oh don't give me that. You know exactly what you're doing."
Brennan just smiled as she turned Hank to face her and standing him on her lap blew raspberries on his neck. Angela sat back and crossed her arms with a knowing grin and nodded.
"Okay hand the kid over, the least you can do if you're going to coach your kid on wiping the playground up with mine is let me get my hands on the little guy."
Brennan asked Hank as he bounced up and down. "Do you want to go to Aunt Angela? Do you? Yeah? Okay, here you go." Then she handed him over to his honorary aunt. Then turning to the swings called out with a please smile. "Good job Christine, I do believe you've reached the maximum height you're capable of."
Angela cleared her throat then queried. "So how are things working out with the TV?"
Brennan turned back to her and asked "What? Oh the TV. You mean the one in the bedroom?" Angela nodded and Brennan continued. "I love it, I can watch documentaries now that aren't appropriate for the children to see."
With an exasperated sigh Angela said. "No I meant with the sex. Has having a TV in your bedroom hurt your sex-life?"
"Oh, well our level of sexual activity has actually increased. Neither of us wants to lose the TV now." Brennan answered with a pleased smirk.
