A/N: This is GG's 3rd wish, which stated the following:

Wish 1: Parker, Aubrey, little Hank Not picky about plot, please exclude Michael Stires and Zach Addy, now that he's potentially turned 'bad'

The inspiration came from part of a story I wrote several months ago that I had shelved. There is no Michael Shires or Zack this chapter. This one takes a humorous turn and it should be two chapters, possibly three. I hope it acts as a satisfying finale to this story.

GG, I hope this last wish does you proud.


Aubrey was in his office humming to himself as he finished making dinner and hotel reservations at the Hotel Monaco for tomorrow.

First he and Jessica would enjoy a romantic dinner at the Dirty Habit, a place both were anxious to try. However, he planned to surprise her with a night's stay in the hotel as well. A night with just them, champagne, and frequent lovemaking.

Time with his girlfriend had been little to none in the last couple of weeks due to the cases Aubrey worked and his girlfriend's rotations with Clark and Hodgins in the lab. He went to hang out with her Thursday, but they were too tired to engage much. The following morning, they overslept on the couch. He and Jessica barely had time to grab a quick shower together and each taking breakfast cookies she made to eat on the way as they left separately.

It wasn't even one of their 'dirty' showers. He was still kicking himself in the ass for Tuesday night.

Jessica was supposed to be at the lab late, but got out earlier than expected. She apparently tried to surprise him at his apartment. However, she let herself in to be greeted with him passed out on the couch after watching Star Trek on Netflix. She said she tried to wake him up, but he wouldn't budge.

Karen Delfs was still on his shit list for screwing up the lunch time plans he made with his girlfriend yesterday.

The agent missed her physically each night he slept in his cold bed for the last two weeks. However, even more he just missed being with her. However, nothing was going to change the plans he made for tomorrow. He and Jessica were going to have a night to themselves. Grabbing his phone, he sent a message to his favorite squintern.

Tmrw nite w r having romantic dinr at DH

A minute later, he got a reply. When he read it, Aubrey smiled.

I can't wait. I miss my Superman

Aubrey sent a text back. Have othr surprise 2

The following conversation followed between their two phones.

Can I have hint?

Nope, but u can wear purple splash dress I like

Will do if u wear blue shirt I like

Deal. Gotta go. Luv u.

Luv u 2, Superman

Aubrey put his phone down and got his stuff together for his weekly department pow wow with Booth since he was leaving early tomorrow to go to a party with Doctor B's publisher in Baltimore. Afterwards, he had warrant returns to finish. They sucked, but he had tomorrow to look forward to.


Jessica put her phone back in her pocket before going back to her work in the Ookey Room. Today she was gaining experience with one of Hodgins' new spectrometers for a couple of cold cases they were working on.

Her rotation with Doctor B was her favorite obviously, but her monthly rotation with Curly was her second. She was lucky because only herself, Wendell, and Oliver were allowed to intern with the entomologist due to their advance degrees in forensic science and other disciplines. The only thing she hated about this week was the fact she barely saw her boyfriend in the last ten plus days.

Of course, the case Aubrey consulted with the Jeffersonian last week was when she was working with Clark. He came over last Thursday, but they fell asleep watching television before she could try to feel up his very cute tushy.

She attempted to surprise him on Tuesday night, but when she got there, he had already crashed. Not having the heart to wake him, she covered him up before prepping an omelet for his breakfast the next day. After putting it in the fridge, she wrote him a note, set his phone alarm, and gave him a kiss good night before heading back home.

Yesterday, they were going to try for a nooner at her apartment but he got held up by that annoying profiler, Karen Delfs. Man, she wanted to smack that bitch.

"Jessica, it's almost three o'clock. Better get over to Doctor B's office for your dissertation meeting."

The redhead hadn't realized she lost track of time. Looking at the clock, her eyes got large. "Shit. Thanks, Curly."

"Don't mention it." Hodgins said before watching her scurry out of his lab.

Jessica walked in as Brennan was working on an article for a forensic journal. "Doctor B, do you need me to come back?"

"No, Ms. Warren. Come in and have a seat. I'm just finishing my thoughts here."

Jessica sat down and waited patiently. After about two minutes, Brennan finished. "Sorry about the delay. Now, how is your progress with your dissertation research?"

Right as the redhead was about to answer, Brennan's office phone rang. She looked at the caller ID, but let it go to voice mail.

"My apologies, Ms. Warren. Now, let's—"

Brennan's cell phone rang. When she looked down at the caller ID, it was the same person who had called before.

"Doctor B, you can take the call if you like. Curly and I finished our work in the Ookey Room. I don't mind waiting."

"Please excuse me." Brennan said before picking up the phone. "Doctor Brennan. Why hello, Ms. Wick. I'm right in the middle of meeting with Ms. Warren so can I call-"

Brennan's face became frazzled as she listened. "Ms W—Daisy! Breathe! Now, tell me calmly what's wrong?"

The forensic anthropologist listened intently. "Of course. If your baby has strep throat, neither of you can be around Christine and Hank…it's all right. Booth and I will come up with something…thank you for calling. Goodbye."

Brennan hung up the phone and exhaled in frustration as her mind contemplated. Momentarily, she forgot about the young woman in the room until she heard a throat clear.

"Doctor B, is there something wrong?"

"No…Yes. I have to find another sitter for my children tomorrow night. Booth and I are supposed to be in Baltimore for my publisher's Christmas party where I'm also to get an award. Dad was going to be there, but he was diagnoses with pneumonia on Tuesday and the doctor ordered rest until next week. I offered our home for him to convalesce, but he refused saying he could take care of himself."

Brennan took a breath. "Angela, Hodgins, and Michael Vincent are flying out to Texas to spend the holidays with her father when Michael Vincent gets out of school tomorrow at noon. Ms. Wick was going to bring Lance over and stay the night with them, but they both have strep throat. Parker is home for Christmas but he had plans to stay at a friend's house tomorrow night. I don't want to force him to cancel his plans or go without Booth."

Quickly, Brennan sent a text to her husband letting him know of the situation.

Jessica could see the frustration on her mentor's face. After a moment of consideration, she made up her mind. Hopefully, Superman wouldn't be too mad at her.


In Booth's office, Booth was on the phone with Parker as Aubrey walked up to the doorway.

"Buddy, I'm sorry. If she wasn't getting an award, I would say screw it, but we can't and I don't want her accepting an award alone. Bones and I will scoot out early as we can and drive back…hey, can the attitude. We'll talk about this more when I get home. Bye."

"Is it safe to come in?" Aubrey asked as his boss hung up the phone.

Booth looked up. "Yeah. Parker is just pissed off at me, but it's part of being a dad. Forget about that, though. Come on in. The more I get done today, the earlier I can scoot out tomorrow."

Aubrey sat down and grabbed the files he needed. They sat for ten minutes going over the other agents' case reports before moving on to another topic of business.

"How are things with human resources and Agent Thompson?" Booth asked.

"I talked to HR and—" Aubrey started before their phones buzzed at the same time, causing both men to simultaneously check them.

As Booth read his, he got more excited. "Yes! Yes!"

Aubrey's reaction was the opposite as he read his. "Damn it!"

Booth saw his junior agent's face. "Look like your text wasn't as good as mine, pal."

Aubrey made a face. "Yeah, Jessica canceled our plans tomorrow."

"Did she say why?" Booth asked before both phones buzzed again. Simultaneously, both checked their messages. "Oh, so that's why she canceled."

Aubrey nodded. "Ah, now things make sense."

Booth saw his subordinate's face. "Um, thanks? I'm sorry?"

The junior agent put his phone in his pocket. "It's all right, Booth. I'll just change our reservations at the Monaco."

"The Monaco? I thought and Jessica were just going out to dinner?" Booth was confused before he figured it out. "Oh shit. I'm sorry Aubrey."

"It's really all right, Booth. Jess didn't know about the hotel room. I'll just change the reservation for another night. I know its Christmas next weekend, but we'll make it work."

The senior agent felt guilty. "I appreciate Jessica babysitting our kids for us, but you two have barely seen each other in the last two weeks. I'll make it up to you, Aubrey."

Aubrey had an idea. "Really?"

Booth suddenly became wary at the other agent as he made a toothy grin. "Sure."

"Can I hang out with Jessica tomorrow night?"

Out of all the things Aubrey would ask for, this wasn't what Booth expected. "You want me to make it up to you by letting you help your girlfriend babysit my children?"

Aubrey looked like he was pondering for a moment. "Yes. I love spending time with the mini-Booths and I really love spending time with Jessica so it's a win-win."

Booth squinted his eyes and crossed his arms. "No sex on my couch, Aubrey."

The junior made a look of incredulity. "Geez, Booth, I wouldn't—"

"I mean it Aubrey. The last thing I need is my seven year old daughter seeing something like that."

The tone in which Booth said his last remark got Aubrey thinking before it dawned upon him and chuckled. "Christine walked in on you and Doctor B doing it, didn't she?"

"No, she didn't. It's none of your business anyway. Go do your warrant returns, will you?"

Aubrey stood up and walked out laughing. Plans had changed but as he told Booth, he and Jessica could make it work.


That afternoon, Brennan and Jessica left the Jeffersonian as the senior anthropologist gave her intern a ride to the Mighty Hut II through a curtain of snow with Aubrey planning on taking her home later.

An hour later Jessica was playing a game with Christine while a robe-clad Brennan fed Hank with her hair swept up and make up finished. When done, she washed up her son and gave the redhead explicit instructions on Christine and Hank's routine.

"Now, if anything should arise, feel free to call either of us."

"I will, Doctor B, but I think we'll have fun tonight."

The intern's last remarks made Brennan remember what Booth told her. "I'm sorry you canceled plans with Aubrey to help us."

"It's okay, Doctor B. He'll be over tonight after work and after the kids go to bed, we'll watch movies and probably crash on the couch together until you come home." Jessica smiled before continuing. "Aubrey wanted me to reassure Agent Booth that they'll be no sex on his couch tonight."

"I appreciate your consideration, Ms. Warren. Now let me show you where things are in case you need anything."

Booth came into the room putting on his tuxedo jacket. "Actually Bones, I'll do that so you can finish getting ready."

Jessica let out a small whistle at Booth in a tuxedo. "Very nice, Agent Booth."

"Thank you." Booth said as Brennan walked into the back room.

Booth quickly led Jessica down the hallway towards Hank and Christine's rooms. He showed her where the children's items were. When the tour was complete, the two came back out into the living room.

"I can't imagine we'll be back later than one in the morning. If it's too late to drive home, you are welcome to stay the night in the guest room. The same for Aubrey if he doesn't eat me out of house and home."

"Thank you." Jessica said with a giggle.

"Parker will be back here in a while to pick up some things to take to his friend's house for the night." Booth said. "There's money on the counter to order pizza and help yourself to anything in the fridge and cupboard. If Hank is hungry you can give him part of a piece of pizza, but cut it up."

"Great. Thanks for letting Aubrey hang out, Agent Booth."

"Jessica," The agent said. "I think we're at the point where I'm just Booth, all right. Aubrey is my friend and he's crazy about you. Now, make sure he doesn't eat all my food and we're friends for life."

"You got it, Ag—Booth."

"Good." Booth said before looking towards the hallway. "Bones! We're going to be late. Shake a leg!"

"Booth, I can't hurry if I have to shake one of my appendages." Brennan said as she walked through the hallway while putting on an earring. "Okay, I'm here. Ready to go?"

Booth's mouth dropped when he saw his wife. She was wearing a one sleeved hunter green dress with one side of ruching at clipped at her hip. It accentuated her curves to perfection. His thoughts were so focused on how long before he could get that dress off her that he didn't hear his name called.

"What?"

"Christine and Hank are trying to say goodbye, Booth."

"Oh." Booth said before taking his son from the redhead and hugging Christine with the other arm. "Bye Tiger. Bye Monkey. Now be good for Jessica and Aubrey tonight."

"Yes, Daddy."

"Good night, Jessica." Booth said before the couple walked out the door.

"Is Uncle Aubrey really coming over later, Jess?"

Jessica smiled at the young blonde. "Yes, he is coming over later. As a matter of fact, we should have him bring us some pizza."

"Yay!"

Just then, Jessica's phone buzzed. Reading the message, she smiled.

Leaving work. Stopping apt 2 chg b4 coming over. Need anything?

Jessica thought for a minute before she gave Aubrey a response. She waited about a minute before her boyfriend responded.

No prob. Will pick up food on way. Luv u.

The redhead smiled and replied. Luv u 2.

Jessica put her phone in her back pocket. "Okay Uncle Aubrey is bringing us pizza in a little while. What do you want to do now?"

"Can we watch Finding Nemo?" Christine said.

"We sure can." Jessica said as she picked up Hank and the three walked into the open living room.


They were thirty minutes through the movie when Christine asked Jessica for a drink. Pausing the movie, the redhead got up and put Hank in his playpen. As she arrived at the kitchen, Jessica heard a key in the door. When she looked, Parker walked in with two of his friends.

"I'm just going to grab those games and we—hey Jessica." Parker said with a smile as he saw the redhead. 'Wow…my redheaded goddess is here.'

"Hi Parker."

"W-what are you doing here?" He stammered.

Jessica walked into the kitchen and pulled cups and a glass from the cupboard. "I'm babysitting Christine and Hank tonight."

"Y-y-you are?" Parker asked.

"Yes." She said as she finished filling Hank's sippy cup with juice. "Now, I won't keep you from your friends over there. I'm just taking these to the kids before we restart 'Finding Nemo'."

"Okay." Parker said love struck before turning around. "Do you need anything? Dinner, help with Hank..."

As Jessica walked away, Parker muttered, "…time later to make out on the couch?"

"No, I'm all set, Parker. Go back to your friends."

"Come on guys." Parker indicated to his friends before the three teenage boys walked back to his bedroom and shut the door.

"Dude, she's fucking hot." Oliver said. "Is that the one you were talking about that works with your stepmom at the lab?"

"Yeah…" Parker said.

"Man, the things I can do with her…" Parker's other friend Adam said while making butt slap motions.

"Shut up, dude!" Parker said before throwing a pillow.

"We're so hanging out here tonight." Adam said. "Maybe she can babysit us."

Parker thought for a minute. "I got it. We'll get back here around eight saying the cable went out at your place and we will chill with them until they're in bed. Then, we can hang out with Jessica and watch movies. Dad and Bones shouldn't care if you guys crash here."

"But my cable works just fine." Oliver said.

"We know that, dumbass. We're just going to say that so we can come back here and hang out with the hot babysitter after Parker's brother and sister go to bed." Adam said.

"Ooohhhhh…" Oliver said. "Cool. Want to get some food?"

"Sure." Parker said.

"Works for me." Adam said.

Their plan made, the three boys walked out of Parker's room. After saying bye to Jessica and the kids, they set out for McLean proper.

'Tonight is going to be awesome!' Parker said to himself.
