A/N: Man, real life is a bitch sometimes, especially around the holidays. I will project one more chapter coming, but you never know.

So Jessica has visitors while she's on babysitting duty. How do things end up? Keep reading.

Hope this last wish is a doozy for you, GG.

Fifteen minutes after the teens left, Aubrey got out of his SUV and was greeted by the bitter cold. Opening his back door, he pulled out three large pizzas. In deference to Doctor B, one was a vegetarian and the others were pepperoni and a deluxe. With his other hand, he pulled out a paper bag with Doritos and other munchies for later. When situated, he kicked the door shut, hit the fob, and walked up the sidewalk towards the porch.

As he held the paper bag handle, he remembered the one and only time he brought a plastic bag to the Booth – Brennan house. The look and lecture he got from Doctor B was enough of a lesson to never bring one there in the future.

The tongue lashing he got several months later from Jessica the first time he brought one to her apartment made him vow to never use one again.

The cold temperature helped Aubrey shake off the exhaustion from his busy day that started at 6:30 this morning helping Booth investigate a body dump by the Anacostia River. After finally getting back to the Hoover after 9:00, he sent a quick good luck text to his favorite squintern, who had her last final exam today.

The rest of his morning was spent working on tracking down leads in between helping Booth with the administrative crap to be done before leaving early for his wife's party tonight.

Lunch consisted of a tired Jessica surprising him with food from the diner to eat in his office. She felt confident she passed her exam with flying colors. However, when she revealed that she had been up until after 1:00 AM studying, he chided her for not taking care of herself.

Their time was all too short as she had to work in the afternoon with Hodgins before leaving with Doctor B to babysit the Mini-Booths.

Aubrey was able to cancel the hotel room without fees just under the wire. While tempted to reserve for this weekend, it would be his luck that something else would come up. While frustrated their plans changed, he let it go.

He didn't care that they were hanging out with children tonight. He just wanted to spend some time with his redheaded squintern.

Knocking on the door, he waited until the door opened to be greeted by Jessica. She had her hair down and was wearing jeans that flattered her subtle curves to perfection. Her sweater was dark green and pleasantly noted no camisole underneath.

'Perhaps there would be snacks of another kind after the kids go to bed.' Aubrey thought to himself before he heard his girlfriend.

"Superman, it's cold and we're hungry. Get in here."

"Oh, sorry." Aubrey said before coming in. As he came in, Jessica took the handled bag from him. When she shut the door, he gave the redhead a kiss. "Hi."

"Hi." Jessica said. "Hmmm, I think I want another one."

"Most definitely." Aubrey said as he put his free arm around her.

They forgot where they were as they embraced. As Jessica ran her free hand through the agent's hair, a voice broke up the moment.

"Ewwww….you are kissing like my mommy and daddy do."

Startled, the adults turned around to see Christine standing there. "We kiss like they do because we love each other like your mommy loves your daddy." Jessica said.

Aubrey returned Christine's serious face as he slowly walked closer. "You know Jess, I think someone else needs a kiss, too."

"Ahhhhhh!" The young blonde screamed with a laugh before running away.

"Oh well," Jessica said before giving Aubrey another peck. "More kisses for me, then."

The couple laughed together they walked into the open kitchen. "Who wants pizza?" Aubrey said.

"Meeeee!" Christine said as Hank clapped his hands from the playpen.

"Doctor B fed him before they left, but Booth said he can have a little pizza if we cut it up for him."

As the adults set the items down on the center island, Jessica finally noticed all that her boyfriend brought. "Three pizzas, Aubrey?"

"Yeah, a veggie, deluxe, and a pepperoni. Variety is good, Jess."

"I get the first two, but why a third?" Jessica asked with bemusement.

"A snack later, obviously."

"What about these?" Jessica said as she pulled out bags of Taco and Cool Ranch Doritos, a bag of mini chocolate donuts, and a bag of white cheddar pepper popcorn.

"Midnight snack."

Aubrey watched Jessica snicker before she walked away to get plates. "What? What's so funny, Jess?"

Aubrey, Jessica and the kids were watching Finding Dory when the door opened around 8:30. Once again, Parker and his friends walked in.

"Hey Jessica. My friends and I are—"

The three teens were surprised when they saw an adult male sitting on the couch, Parker most of all.

"Uh, hi Aubrey."

The agent smiled. "Hi Parker. I thought you were spending the night at a friend's house."

The young man stammered. "T-the cable went out at Oliver's so we're hanging here instead. I didn't expect to see you here."

Aubrey suddenly figured out what was going on and held back a chuckle. "Yeah your dad said I could hang out with Jessica and the kids."

"You guys want to watch Finding Dory with us?" Christine asked.

"No, that's okay, Christine." Parker said, frustrated that Jessica had company. "We're going to hang out in Dad's man cave and watch movies."

"We can stay with her—uh her and the kids if you want to go home, Agent Aubrey." Oliver said to be helpful.

The lanky man continued holding back laughter, but was having difficulty as he turned to face the three teens. "That's a nice offer…"

"Oliver."

Aubrey smiled. "Oliver, but we're all set. You guys enjoy yourselves."

"Thanks." Parker muttered before motioning to his friends. "Come on guys. Let's grab some munchies and head downstairs."

The three teens grabbed 6 bottles of Mexican Coke from the fridge before snagging Aubrey's bag of popcorn and chocolate donuts.

"The food on the center island is off limits, guys." Aubrey said.

At that moment, Christine looked behind the couch at her brother and friends. "Yeah, don't eat all our food, you guys."

Frustrated, the teenage boys put the munchies down before searching the kitchen cupboards. Satisfied, Christine turned around and laid down on the couch, placing her head on Aubrey's leg.

"Honey do you want a pillow?" The agent asked.

Christine sat up with the straightest face. "You're my pillow, Uncle Aubrey."

The lanky man melted at the girl's simple affection. Feeling a hand on his other leg, he turned to see Jessica smiling at him as she had Hank in her lap. They shared a moment before turning back to the movie.

The teens killed time in the kitchen by getting glasses and filling them with ice. When done, Parker made a production of looking through all the cupboards before opening the last one to get a bowl down for the chips. Seeing the pizza boxes on the bar, they headed over.

"The pepperoni is off limits, too. That's mine." Aubrey said he watched the movie. Help yourself to the veggie or the deluxe one."

"Damn, how did he know?" Adam whispered.

"He's like the Food Whisperer." Parker said.

The teenagers looked at the pizzas forlornly before walking away. When they got their food, the boys headed to the finished basement that was Booth's man cave.

A bemused Jessica looked at her boyfriend. "You couldn't share the pepperoni pizza, Aubrey? Not even one slice?"

"Nope, that's for later. Plus they would eat the whole pizza if I let them. I was a teenage boy once and I know how they eat."

"You still eat like one."

"It's not my fault I have blood sugar issues, Jess."

"Of course…my bad." Jessica said before looking down at Hank. "Oh boy, this little guy is out cold."

Aubrey looked down at Christine, who had also fallen asleep. Grabbing the blanket behind the couch, he pulled it down and laid it on her gently. "Looks like the other mini-Booth is out for the night, too."

"She really looks adorable, Aubrey." Jessica said.

"Yeah, I remember seeing her with Booth once just like this. I told him how adorable I thought it was and that I needed to get one of these."

"Maybe we should get them to bed?"

"Yeah, let's do that. I'll take Christine and you take Hank?"

"Sure."

As Jessica paused the movie, she picked up Hank as Aubrey removed the blanket and picked up Christine gently. They were halfway down the hall way when he realized something. "Jess, I will carry her to bed but she needs to get her PJs on."

"Good point. Lay her on the bed and I'll take care of her while you put Hank to bed."

"Okay."

The couple walked together until Aubrey put Christine in her bed. Taking Hank from her, he carried him into his bedroom. As he laid the sleeping boy in his bed, he got a warm feeling in his stomach as he thought about someday putting his own son in his toddler bed.

He always wanted children, but none of his previous relationships in the past felt right for the future. He also didn't want to be a part time father, or like his own, non-existent. So, by the time he turned 30, he decided that focusing on his career was what was meant to be.

Then he met a beautiful redheaded nerd who was not only became his best friend, but the main link in his future. Maybe he was getting ahead of himself, but with Jessica everything just clicked. However, he didn't want to spook her with talk of marriage and a family, so he kept his feelings to himself. Right now, he was content and happy and that was all that mattered.

Suddenly, Hank's eyes opened and he made a face. Aubrey couldn't decipher it, but then he smelled it.

"Holy shit, baby!" The agent said before turning his head away. "No pun intended, but damn boy. Do you gas out your parents like you just tried to do to me? We're going to have to clean you up. Doctor B wouldn't appreciate you sleeping in a dirty diaper all night."

Then it hit him that he had a major problem on his hands. Thankfully, he knew someone who could help.

"Be right back, buddy. Don't…make a mess anywhere."

Aubrey tip toed out of the room and walked down the hall to Christine's room, where Jessica had finished tucking her in.

"Uh, Jess?" He whispered. "I need some help."

Jessica turned around and flipped the switch on the nightlight in the little girl's room. Getting up, she walked over to him in the hallway. "What's wrong?"

Aubrey rubbed the back of his head. "Hank needs his diaper changed."

The redhead just looked at him. "So change him, Aubrey. All the stuff is in his changing table."

The agent squirmed as he looked down on the ground. "A slight problem with that."

"What, you've never changed a baby before?" Jessica said jokingly before her face became incredulous. "Seriously, Aubrey?"

"It's not my fault I'm an only child, Jess. You got plenty of practice with your eight nieces and nephews. However, I've only babysat Christine and she…takes care of herself."

Jessica wanted to laugh, but he looked so serious and adorable. "All right."

Aubrey internally fist pumped himself. "Cool, I'll meet you in the—"

"Oh no, you're not, Superman." The anthropologist said before grabbing his arm. "I'm not doing this, you are. I'm going to guide you."

Aubrey only wanted to be away from the traumatic smell. "I think I'm better—"

Jessica didn't speak, merely giving him a look and pointing into the nursery. They stood like that for a minute before Aubrey's shoulders dropped and he shuffled into the nursery, followed by his girlfriend. Picking up Hank, he held him out and away from him all the way to the changing table. He looked around before Jessica held the baby to the table with her hand.

"Aubrey, get a clean diaper out from the top drawer. Your wipes are there. When those two things are done, use the hand sanitizer."

When the agent did those things, Jessica directed him on how to put the clean diaper underneath. Following his girlfriend's instructions, he opened the diaper, causing them to take a step back.

"Whoa…this is worse than the body last month found in the cow pasture." Aubrey said. "My eyes are watering."

The redhead recovered quickly. "Man up, Aubrey. You're going to have to do this someday with our baby."

A heavy silence filled the room as both stood where they were. Jessica didn't know what was going through Aubrey's head, but hers was racing.

'Our baby? OMFG! We've only been dating since May…but we've known each other for over a year.' The redhead thought. 'Great…Superman is going to think I'm hinting at marriage, but I'm not…now…'

Her internal diatribe was interrupted when Aubrey cleared his throat. "So…what's next Ms. Warren?"

Seeing her boyfriend didn't run for his life, the anthropologist relaxed. "Cover his penis with a cloth before removing the diaper in case he tries to give you a shower. Then use the diaper to wipe up the poop."

Aubrey did as instructed while making a face. Then he took the wipe from Jessica to finish cleaning the baby. The redhead instructed him further until they were ready to put on the clean diaper.

"Make sure his penis faces down."

"Ah…smart." The agent said as he finished his task with further instruction by his girlfriend.

When done, they put the boy in clean jammies and put him in his toddler bed. After covering him up, they went into the bathroom to wash their hands. Aubrey took her hand as they walked down the hall to the living room.

'Finally.' The agent thought. 'Alone time with Jess.'
