A/N: Okay the final chapter got really large, so I split it up into two. Part 1 is here and I hope to have the other one up by Tuesday since it's pretty much done.

Merry Christmas, GG. :)


Morning came quickly to the Mighty Hut II. Any hopes Booth and Brennan had to sleep in after the passionate conclusion to their night ended when Hank cried at the same time Christine got up to watch cartoons. So with groans and creaks, the couple rose with their two youngest children. By 6:50, Booth prepared to make breakfast as Brennan grabbed cups for herself and her husband as the needed coffee finished brewing.

"Daddy, when are Parker and his friends going to wake up?" Christine asked as she sat by the center island with a small bowl of fruit.

"Soon, Monkey." A sleepy Booth said as he got out the ingredients for pancakes.

"Daddy, remember to make extra batter. Parker, Oliver, and Adam kept trying to eat the snacks and pizza Uncle Aubrey brought us last night."

Booth's suspicions about Parker and his friends moved to the forefront again. Now that Christine opened the door, the agent decided to delve further. "Monkey, when did the boys get here last night?"

Christine picked a strawberry out of the bowl. "While we were watching Finding Dory. After they got here, they kept leaving the man cave to get food and stuff so they could talk to Jessica. They were mad because Uncle Aubrey was here and I heard Jessica yell at them when they weren't nice to him."

"Christine, what do you mean they weren't nice to Uncle Aubrey?" Brennan asked as she handed her grateful husband a cup of coffee.

"One of them sat in Uncle Aubrey's spot when he went to the bathroom. When he came back and asked Adam to move, he said 'move your meat, lose your seat'." The young girl turned to Booth. "Daddy what does that mean?

"It means if you move from where you sitting, someone can sit there and you find somewhere else to sit. It's not a polite thing to do. The respectful thing is to give that person back their seat."

"Move your meat? Surely there are better terms to refer to one's body and buttocks, Booth." Brennan said before sipping coffee.

"Ask the person who started it, Bones. It wasn't me." Booth said before turning back to his daughter. "Christine, what happened next?"

The little girl ate a raspberry before snickering. "Jessica told Adam to move or she would move him. Then she said they weren't allowed to be mean to Uncle Aubrey and to leave them alone. After that, she said if they came out of the man cave again, they would leave and make them babysit me and Hank."

Brennan set her coffee down and asked a question she was curious about. "Christine, you were supposed to be asleep. How do you know all this?"

"They woke me up every time they left the man cave, so I started reading my book with the book light you gave me, Mommy."

Booth crossed her arms, annoyed his suspicions about last night were correct. "Hey Christine, can you keep your brother occupied for a few minutes while I finish breakfast with your mom?" Booth said.

"Okay, Daddy."

The couple watched their daughter walk over to Hank and play with him in the living room. "Booth, why wouldn't Aubrey and Ms. Warren say anything about Parker and his friends' behavior last night?" Brennan inquired.

"Because Bones, while they were annoyed, they kept it to themselves out of deference to us. While appreciated, it pisses me off because Aubrey was going to surprise Jessica with a room at the Monaco after taking her out to dinner last night. He canceled it so they could help us out."

"I'm sure Aubrey as Jessica's mate also felt his territory was being threatened last night. Also Parker and his friends were being quite disrespectful to Ms. Warren by regarding her as nothing more than a masturbatory aid—"

"Bones!" Booth said. "Parker and his friends-"

"Booth, masturbation is an acceptable—"

"No, no more sex talk with the kids in the room."

"Fine, Booth." Brennan said while watching her husband drink his coffee before pouring another cup. "What do you want to do about Parker and his friends?"

Booth refilled his wife's cup. "I think a chat about respecting women and other adults as well as an apology is in order. What do you think, Bones?"

"I think that's acceptable. We should do something for Aubrey and Ms. Warren to as a show of appreciation for what they did for us last night." Brennan said. "I have an idea, Booth."

The agent knew exactly what his wife was thinking. "I'll make it my first stop before I take the boys to Aubrey's apartment to apologize." Booth said. "I know Parker has a crush on her and I'm assuming the other boys did, too. However, the boys know better than to sass adults and take advantage like they did to Aubrey."

Brennan got another idea. "Perhaps you should take Hank with you, Booth. Parker should spend quality time with his brother."

Booth smiled. "Taking Hank would give you some girl time with Christine."

Brennan returned the grin. "I also think it would teach the boys a very valuable lesson about respecting others and giving them a sense of how hard it is to babysit."

"Good thinking, Bones." Booth said before giving his wife a kiss. "Now, after the boys make us breakfast, we'll get cleaned up and head out."

"But they're asleep." Brennan said.

"Not for long." Booth said as he put his coffee down before pulling a skillet from the cupboard. Pulling a wooden spoon out of the basket, he walked down the hall.

Christine left her brother to walk up to the kitchen. "Mommy, is Daddy going to wake up Parker and his friends?"

Brennan snickered before sipping her coffee. "Yes, Christine. It looks like the three of them will be making us breakfast this morning."


Booth arrived to the man cave and opened the door. Using his ranger skills, he walked stealthily down the stairs until he got to the last step. Looking around, he took in the scene.

Parker was asleep on his custom made Flyers couch on his stomach. One of his socks was halfway off his foot. On the arm, the chip bowl was down to crumbs inside it. On the La-Z-Boy, Adam slept with his head on the arm of the chair. One leg dangled off the other arm while the other had its foot stationary on the ground. Nearby on the bean bag was Oliver. He was sleeping spread eagle with his mouth wide open. He had a Penn State blanket draped over the lower half of his body.

Holding up the pan, Booth started banging the spoon against the pan as he walked through the room. "Wakey wakey boys! Get your lazy butts up!"

Parker was startled to the point he fell off the couch. Adam woke up and covered himself, hoping his dad didn't notice the morning wood. Oliver sat up with a start before initially falling over and lifting himself up again.

"Good morning boys. Bones and I got home around 1:00 and were surprised to see you guys here. I thought you had big plans to hang out at Oliver's house because he got that new TV and state of the art speakers for movies and video games." Booth asked.

"Yeah but the cable went out last night." Parker said. "Besides, the TV down here is also 60 inches so it was all good."

"So you guys stayed down here all night?" The agent said while walking around. "It couldn't have been much fun with Aubrey and Jessica here."

"They were cool when we got some food." Oliver said.

"Except when we got bored and came up for a DVD, we left them alone Mr. Booth." Adam said, ignoring the unsettling feeling in his stomach.

Booth looked down and found what he was looking for. "Anthropological Discoveries of the Black Plague'. Sounds like fun stuff for three teenage boys."

"It was pretty cool, Mr. Booth." Oliver said.

"I bet it was." Booth said, remembering how boring it was when Bones made him watch it the night of its arrival. "So you guys were respectful to Jessica last night? Didn't make a nuisance of yourself while she was watching your brother and sister?"

"Yeah, Dad. We just came back to watch movies and play video games."

Booth looked at Adam and Oliver. "You guys were also respectful to Aubrey while he was here, correct? You're not my sons, but I expect you on your best behavior to other guests in my home when you're here."

"Yes sir, always." Adam said.

Booth held back his smile before turning around and giving Adam his 'Special Agent Booth' interrogator face. "So there was no incident where you were a rude little shit by taking his spot on the couch and telling him, 'move your meat, lose your seat.'?"

Adam became scared when he saw the look in Booth's eyes. "Uh…"

"That's what I thought." Booth said before turning to the three boys. "I also heard you guys also pestered my babysitter and her boyfriend last night until Jessica put you in your place."

"Well…" Parker said.

"I've also heard that you tried eating the food Aubrey brought for himself, Jessica, and the kids without asking first."

"Um…" Oliver said.

Booth looked at the three teenagers dead in the eye. "Do I need to call Aubrey and Jessica and ask them about what happened last night?"

"No, sir." All three said in quiet voices before Adam spoke. "Agent Aubrey and Jessica said they weren't going to say anything if we stayed down here the rest of the night."

"They didn't, Adam. Apparently your scheming and stalking woke up Parker's sister and she heard everything."

"Shit!"

"Excuse me?" Booth said looking at Adam, who started to shake.

"I mean…crap."

"Yeah…crap is right. I know I've raised you better Parker and I know your parents did, too Adam and Oliver."

"I don't understand what we did wrong. We just wanted to talk to her, Mr. Booth. When there's food sitting out, it's meant to be eaten. Frankly, if they weren't doing anything, us talking to her shouldn't be a big deal."

"But it is, Adam." Booth said. "See Parker got angry when he was asked to change his plans and gave us a major guilt trip that we were ignoring. However, Jessica and Aubrey felt bad and canceled their date night to help us."

"Oh…" Parker said. "We didn't know that."

"Of course you didn't because you weren't supposed to be here except to pick up some stuff. However, it's not the fact you guys came here but the fact you were disrespectful and rude to both Jessica and Aubrey. They're the ones who were doing you three a favor by letting Parker off the hook on babysitting. Instead of being at least grateful, you three were annoying brats."

"Sorry…" All three said at the same time.

"Hey, I'm not the one you have to apologize to." The agent said. "Now, you all are going to make breakfast for the family." Booth said. "Then you're going to run a couple of errands with me before I take you two home."

"But—" Parker said, embarrassed as his father's chastisement.

"No buts. Now, unless you want me to have a chat with your mother Oliver and your parents Adam, all three of you get upstairs so I can show you how to make pancake batter."

When he saw hesitation, he acted. "Now!"

All three ran upstairs past Booth. He smiled for a moment before following them. He remembered what it was like being a teenage boy, but he couldn't let his son get away with taking advantage of his friend and girlfriend.

Turning around, he walked up the stairs.


Booth was true to his word as he showed the boys how to make the pancakes. To prevent any possible sabotage to delay their trip, he warned that if they didn't come out to Christine's standards, he would make them start all over again but not get any.

All three got them right the first time.

Brennan enjoyed a cup of coffee as Booth directed the boys on how to clean up after breakfast. Since Parker knew where everything went, his father had his friends wash and dry the dishes. With him supervising, Adam and Oliver did the best job possible.

After they packed all their stuff up, they along with Hank got into Booth's SUV to their destinations.

"Dad, why is Hank with us?" Parker said.

"Bones suggested I take your little brother along." Booth said as he turned at the light. Traveling a short distance, he reached his destination. The boys looked perplexed at where they were at.

"Mr. Booth, why are we here?" Adam asked.

Booth looked to the boys. "I'm getting Aubrey and Jessica a thank you gift for last night. You guys need to watch Hank while I'm in there. I'll leave the engine running, but don't touch anything in this vehicle because it's federally issued. There are Goldfish crackers in his diaper bag. Now take good care of him and I'll be back in a bit."

"But Dad—"

Parker's pleas fell on deaf ears as the car door shut. They watched as the older man walked across the street and into the luxurious building. Suddenly, Hank began to whimper.

"Oh shit…Parker…your brother is going to cry." Oliver whined.

"Get the crackers out of the diaper bag, Dude." Parker said.

Adam got them out of the bag and handed them to Hank. The toddler almost tipped them out of the bag when his older brother stopped him. "No Buddy, don't drop them. Here."

The teenager pulled a few out onto his hand and let his baby brother take them out to eat. Adam did the same, then Oliver and Hank repeated his actions. This went on for about ten minutes until the Goldfish ran out. When that happened, Hank became irritated.

"Man, don't cry Hank…"

"Make faces at him."

All other attempts to amuse the child failed as Hank began to cry. The three brainstormed until Parker remembered something. "There's that song Bones made up for Christine that he likes. Let's sing it."

"Is it the one Christine sings to us all the time where she shakes her hands in the air?" Adam asked. "No way."

"Got anything better?" Parker asked.

When Hank screamed louder, all three boys got faces of fear before they started singing. "The tibia, fibula, femur, and patella fits your metatarsals then you might be Cinderella…."

The three took a quick breath Oliver started the next verse. "So get off your sacr…something."

"Sacrum dumbass!" Adam yelled. "So get off your sacrum…get off your cocks…"

"Coccyx!" Parker yelled.

"Get off your coccyx…"

Booth returned to the SUV and heard the singing. As he got closer, he heard the next line.

"Wave your triquetrum and capitate…in the air!"

Walking to a window, he watched the teenage boys waving their hands at the infant. It took everything he had not to laugh out loud, even though he was freezing cold. When Hank started to cry again, Booth took a breath and unlocked the door.

"What's going on, buddy? You want your song, don't you?" The agent said as he looked back to his youngest child.

"We tried singing it, Dad, but it didn't work."

Booth got his phone and opened his Google Play app. Finding his library, he searched it until he found what he was looking for. Pushing PLAY, the BONES song played as sung by Christine and Brennan.

"You have that?" Parker asked.

"Angela recorded them singing and then converted it to an mp3 which she sent to me and Bones so we could upload it onto our phones."

Almost instantly, Hank calmed down and started to smile. Booth smiled with him. "Yeah, that's my buddy."

As Booth started up the vehicle, Parker turned to his father. "Dad, where are we going now?"

"To Aubrey's apartment. All three of you owe him and Jessica an apology."

The boys squirmed in their seats. "Dad, can't you just give him an apology at work?"

"Nope." Booth said as he made a left hand turn. "You three are going to face him and his girlfriend and apologize what you did. Your behavior last night indicates to me you want to be looked upon as grown ups. Well, this is what grown ups do…admit their mistakes and clean up their own messes. Not expect their parents to clean it up for them."

"Mr. Booth, you should watch your speed through here." Adam said. "You're a police officer."

Booth thought for a minute. "You're right. I'm a federal police officer."

The teens thought they got a reprieve until they saw the older man turn on the siren.

"I would go faster but I have you guys and Hank with me. Now, nothing will get in our way to Aubrey's place. Thanks for the idea, Adam." Booth said with a smile.

"You're welcome, sir." The teen mumbled.
