A/N: So Aubrey decided in the last chapter that he had enough of teenage boys killing his mojo with Jessica. What do you think he does next? Or is it someone else?

Aubrey straightened his spine and shoulders like he did before entering the room for an interrogation. Putting his game face on, he walked back into the room and stood in front of one of the teenagers. "Excuse me, but that's my seat."

Adam gave a cocky face to the adult male. "You got up. Move your meat, lose your seat."

Aubrey's mouth opened, but before he could get anything out he heard another voice.

"Get your ass out of my boyfriend's spot or I'll push you out."

"Yes, ma'am." A stunned Adam said before jumping off the couch.

Aubrey was stunned into silence as his girlfriend stood up. She crossed her arms and looked down at all three teenagers with a face that the agent knew all too well from when he pissed her off. His redhead had a temper that could be scary.

"You three know why I'm here tonight, right?" Jessica asked.

"Babysitting Parker's brother and sister." Adam said.

Jessica decided to give a little white lie. "Yes, because Parker's stepmother didn't want to force him to change his plans, so Aubrey and I canceled our plans to help your parents. They've done a lot for us and we owed them."

"Dad and Bones help a lot of people. That's just what they do." Parker said, confused on where the redhead was going.

"Yes, they do." Jessica said as she looked to Parker. "Aubrey told me last night how your dad was going to have you stay with the kids since there was no one else to help. However, you pitched a major hissy fit because your plans to hang out with your friends were more important."

Aubrey took a step back as Jessica advanced on to their mentor's son. "More important than your father being there when your stepmother, a woman who regards you as her own, won a major award from her publisher."

Parker shrunk back slightly. The way she summed the situation made him look like a jerk. His thoughts were interrupted when she paced in front of the television.

"So it's interesting that instead of continuing your plans at your friend's house, you decide to hang out here with your siblings' babysitter and her boyfriend."

"It's not our fault the internet went out at my house." Oliver said

"Damn it, Oliver." Adam said.

"Crap…" Parker said before covering his face.

Being the excellent agent he was, Aubrey caught the slip right away. "I thought it was the cable, boys."

Realizing his faux pas, Oliver tried to cover. "I meant cable. Sorry."

"No, no you didn't Oliver, but nice try." Aubrey said before turning to his girlfriend. "As you were, Jess."

"Thank you." Jessica said. "Now, I've tolerated you trying to eat Aubrey's food, sad attempts to flirt with me, staring at part of my ass every time you came out here—"

The agent turned furious. "They were—"

"Not now, Aubrey." The redhead said to her boyfriend before turning back to the boys. "…and constant pestering of us. However, disrespecting him is something I will NOT tolerate."

"We didn't—" Adam said.

"Be quiet. I'm not done." Jessica said in a firm voice but not loud to avoid waking up Christine and Hank.

The cocky teenager shrunk down. "Yes, ma'am."

The anthropologist turned to her mentor's son. "This is the deal Parker. You three go downstairs for the rest of the night and we won't mention a word of this to Booth or Doctor B. Because if you don't, the next time any of you stalk or pester us tonight, I will go home with Aubrey and leave the kids with you guys."

"You can't do that!" Parker said, his dreams of a night with his redheaded goddess swirling down the drain.

Aubrey knew she was bluffing. Neither of them would leave the kids with the teens, but they didn't know that. Maybe someday they could tag team on an interrogation. He had no doubt she could get anyone to confess.

"We can and we will. Now, what's it going to be?" Aubrey said as he stood by Jessica.

Parker saw the looks on the older couple's face and knew they weren't issuing an idle threat. If they told his father about he and his friends annoying them, he would be in trouble for the rest of his time home for Christmas vacation.

"Come on guys. Let's hang out in the man cave."

"But Parker—"

"Now, Adam."

The three boys left the room. Jessica watched them go down the hallway and around the corner. When she heard the door shut, she turned to her boyfriend. "There, that's done."

"My girlfriend is a bad ass." Aubrey said as he took her in his arms. "Thank you for defending my honor."

"You're welcome. It was a pleasure, Special Agent."

"We both know you wouldn't have left." Aubrey said. "You're lucky one of them didn't call your bluff."

Jessica put her arms around Aubrey's neck. "You wouldn't have left either, James Aubrey. I was confident it would be successful."

"How did you know?"

The redhead smirked. "I had a babysitter that Jason used to flirt with every time she sat for me. One day, she told him that if he ever annoyed her like he was again that she would she quit and tell my father why. My brother knew if that happened, he would have to be my babysitter every day after we walked home from the education cooperative house. He left her alone after that."

They shared an embrace for about a minute before they broke apart to breathe. Aubrey gently smacked her posterior and took her hand as he led her back to the couch. "Come on Jess. Let's finish watching this movie and catch another one before Booth and Doctor B get...home." Aubrey said with a yawn. "Damn. Where did that come from?"

"From both of us being up since the butt crack of…dawn." Jessica said as she yawned also. "You're contagious, Aubrey."

The agent let Jessica get on the couch before he laid down. Lifting up his arm, he let the redhead put her head on his chest before putting his arm back around her. Settling in, he pushed play on the Roku and the movie started up again.

"We'll be fine. The movies will keep us awake until they get back from Baltimore."

At ten minutes to one in the morning, the door was unlocked and a freezing Booth and Brennan came into the house. As the agent locked the door, Brennan walked up ahead.

"Ms. Warren, I see my car that Parker borrowed earlier here. What…oh."

Booth had entered the open room speaking to his wife. "Bones did they say why Parker…oh."

The couple observed a sleeping Aubrey and Jessica on the couch. Each had an arm around the other with Jessica's head on his chest and her leg draped across him.

"Maybe we should just let them sleep, Booth." Brennan said.

"If we do that, Christine will scare the shit out of them when she crawls out of bed in about five hours. We'll give them the guest room if they don't want to drive home." The senior agent said before walking to his friend and shook his foot. "Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey."

"Eggs and bacon? Where?" Aubrey said as he woke with a start, knocking Jessica off his chest.

"Aubrey!" A half-asleep Jessica said sharply.

The agent turned and saw the annoyed look on his sleepy girlfriend's face. "Sorry, Jess."

"How were the kids?" Brennan asked.

"Excellent. We watched a couple of movies and they fell asleep in the living room, so we put them to bed." Jessica said.

"Is Parker here?" Booth said. "He borrowed Bones' car to go to his friend's house for the night earlier."

"Yeah, he and his friends came back here." Aubrey said vaguely.

"What time?" Brennan asked. "I'm curious because Parker and his friends had planned an all night movie marathon at Oliver's."

Jessica wasn't going to lie to her mentor. "They got here around 8:30."

Booth was starting to get an idea of the evening. "Were they pestering you guys?"

"Just being teenage boys, Booth." Aubrey said, not wanting to cause a stink. "How was the party?"

Booth knew an evasion when he heard it, but would take care of it later. "Not too bad considering all the stuff shirts made us wait for three hours before Bones could get her award. That is when they weren't flirting with her."

"Booth, those stuff shirts are my publishers and they were not flirting with me. Even if they were, you're my husband and the only man I will engage in frequent lovemaking."

"Bones!" Booth said in a loud whisper. "Ix Nay on the ex Say alk Tay."

"Booth, pig latin does not disguise the fact we were talking about sex."

Aubrey and Jessica looked at each other before deciding their presence wasn't required. "Well, we're heading out. Have a good night." Jessica said.

"You two are welcome to stay here if you are too tired to drive." Brennan said before turning back to her husband. "Booth, Aubrey and Ms. Warren understand that we only engage in sexual intercourse together just like I'm sure they only engage in sexual activities together."

Afraid of where this conversation was going, Aubrey decided it was time to leave. "Yeah, we're good, Doctor B, but thank you. Ready to go, Jess?"

"Yep." Jessica said as she pulled Aubrey away.

"You two drive safe." Booth said before turning back to his wife. "They don't need to hear us talk about that, Bones."

Aubrey helped Jessica into her coat before he put his own on as the other couple continued to bicker. He bagged up his left over snacks before the two walked out of the house. After the agent shut the door, they laughed.

"Oh my God." Jessica said. "They are just too awesome."

"Yes, they are. However we're not so bad ourselves."

"No we're not, Agent Aubrey." Jessica said. "Come on, let's get home."

They put their arms around each other's waists as they walked through the wind to Aubrey's SUV. After loading up what they were taking, they got in and the agent drove away.

As they left Virginia and entered DC, Aubrey saw his girlfriend passed out in the car. Whenever he stopped at a light, he would sneak a peek at his beautiful girlfriend. The fact that she thinks they'll have babies someday also made him feel good.

Turning onto K Street, Aubrey rolled down the window to get some fresh air as he felt exhaustion hit him, too. He could never forgive himself if he fell asleep at the wheel and hurt his anthropologist.

The redhead came around when she felt cold air in the car. "Aubrey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to fall asleep."

"It's okay, Jess."

The redhead saw her boyfriend's stiff demeanor and his laser focus on the road. "No it's not. You're exhausted too, Aubrey. That's why the window is open, isn't it?"

"Fresh air is not a bad thing."

"It is when it's eight degrees and the wind chill is negative ten. Why didn't you blast your Green Day CD? Better yet, why didn't you wake me up to talk?"

"Because you looked so peaceful and I didn't have the heart to wake you." Aubrey said as he rolled the window up. "I'll tell you what. How about you keep me awake until we reach my apartment?"

"Deal." Jessica said before taking Aubrey's hand.

A short time later, Aubrey and Jessica entered his downstairs apartment quietly. When he shut the door, they continued their conversation.

"Superman that is not a legitimate gift. Surely there is something else I can get you as a second Christmas present."

Aubrey hit the deadbolts on his door and set his keys in the bowl on the center island. "Yes it is, Jess. I think it's a perfectly acceptable gift to ask for on Christmas."

The redhead turned around with a sarcastic face. "James Aubrey, I'm not gifting you with sex for Christmas. Why would ask for that as a present?"

"Because…I think it would be nice to open a gift on Christmas morning that included you with a nice, large red bow…maybe wearing a matching red bra and panties…and nothing else."

Jessica chuckled to herself. Her boyfriend was such a boy at times. "I'll see what I can do…"

"Yes!" The agent said as he pumped his elbow.

"But you're still getting another present. Now thing of something by Tuesday or I'm just getting you something."

"Fine." Aubrey said before he yawned. "Sorry."

The couple walked into Aubrey's bedroom where Jessica opened one of his dresser drawers. Pulling clothing out, she stripped to her underwear and put on a Syracuse University t-shirt as he emptied his pockets. When done, she walked across the hall to the bathroom.

The agent did enjoy the mini striptease he got and was pleased to see Jessica wearing the matching green panties. Usually he would pounce on her when he saw her wearing his stuff. However, between her tired eyes and his exhaustion, sex was not happening tonight.

Opening another drawer on his dresser, the agent found his Yoda pajama pants, a birthday gift from Jessica. He changed for bed and followed her into the bathroom. After grabbing his toothbrush, the next couple of minutes were spent by the couple quietly brushing their teeth. When done, they put their toothbrushes in a caddy in the medicine chest before they alternated with the sink as they completed their nightly rituals.

It was all very domestic and what some would consider boring and banal instead of passionate and exciting. Aubrey and Jessica wouldn't deny that each loved their creative sex life. However, they agreed with the other that their shared domesticity was better than constant sex without anything behind it.

Jessica finished first and headed to bed. Finishing a few minutes later, the agent walked across the hall to his bedroom. Inside, he found his girlfriend plugging in her phone on her side. Getting into bed, they shared a sweet good night kiss.

"Thanks for being understanding about me babysitting tonight, Aubrey. Sorry that our night went to shit." Jessica said as she gently caressed his face.

"The night wasn't total shit, Jess. While you were stalked by three horny adolescent males, we also got to spend time with the mini-Booths."

"My bra and panties got wasted, though."

Aubrey smiled. "There's always the morning."

Jessica smiled as she kissed her boyfriend again. "Good night, Superman."

"Night, Jess." Aubrey said.

The couple snuggled up with her head on Aubrey's chest before he reached up and shut off the light. They were in a peaceful, exhausted slumber in one minute.
