Thanks for all of the lovely reviews everyone!
Chapter four: You Need Her
"YOU BROUGHT THE BABY?!" Jared shrieked.
Booth slapped a hand over Jared's mouth.
"Sh…not so loud." Booth hissed.
"Seeley, you're bringing a newborn to a warzone! She's better off dead than where's she's going!" Jared whispered angrily.
"What else could I do with her? Leave her lying in a ditch somewhere?" Booth growled.
"Now THERE'S a good idea!" Jared snapped.
"Jared, she needs me." Booth said.
"No Seeley, YOU, YOU need her!" Jared growled.
"Um…I hate to say it Sarge but Jared's got a point…" Teddy mumbled.
"Teddy! Stay out of this!" Booth and Jared said together.
Teddy frowned and sunk back down into his seat.
"SO SEELEY! HOW'D YOU THINK THIS ALL WOULD WORK OUT?! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WHEN YOU HAVE TO GO OUT AND SNIPE SOMEBODY HUH? BECAUSE OF YOU ALL OF OUR ASSES ARE ON THE LINE!" Jared yelled.
People turned around and glared at Jared.
Jared looked at everyone, "WHAT?! NEVER SEEN A GROWN MAN YELL?!
"Jared, calm down!" Hank whispered harshly. "You know what? Teddy, you switch seats with Jared."
"Okay mom…" Teddy joked.
Jared reluctantly got up and switched seats with Teddy.
"So, can I hold her?" Teddy whispered to Booth.
"Not right now." Booth mumbled.
"Why?" Teddy asked.
"She's a sleep." Booth whispered stroking the back of Libby's neck.
"Oh…so?" Teddy whispered.
"Because you'll wake her up and she'll start to cry." Booth said.
"How do YOU know? Maybe she likes me better." Teddy said.
"Hank." Booth said annoyed.
Hank sighed and shook his head. He stood up and switched seats with Teddy.
"Is there a problem here?" a flight attendant asked.
Booth quickly zipped up his jacket before the lady could look inside.
"No, not a problem." Booth said.
The flight attendant looked at Booth really hard before retreating back to the front of the plane.
Booth let out a sigh and unzipped his jacket. Libby was still sound asleep.
"What'd you have in the backpack, Seels?" Hank whispered.
"Baby stuff mostly." Booth said.
"Like?" Hank asked.
"You know, formula, diapers, a bib, binkies, a blanket, a few bottles, wipes, a pair of baby booties, pajamas, a thermometer, a small teddy bear, you know, stuff." Booth said simply.
"Life would be so much easier if men could produce breast milk." Teddy said out of the blue.
Hank, Jared, and Booth all stared at Teddy with eyebrows raised.
"What? It's true!" Teddy said defensibly.
Hank sighed, "If only Claire could hear you now Teddy. Why she believes you're a prefect angel I don't know…"
"Hey!" Teddy said folding his arms. "I am what I am."
"And what you are I really don't have a clue what it is." Jared laughed.
"How much longer do you think we're going to be on this plane?" Booth asked looking out the window.
"Like twenty minutes." Hank said.
"I hope you're right. My legs are all cramped up already." Teddy complained.
"If you think this is bad, just wait until the flight to Heathrow." Jared laughed.
"So Sarge, how are you going to change, feed, and care in general for Libby on the plane?" Teddy asked.
Booth shrugged, "There's a small bathroom where I can change her and everything but for warm water for the formula…I'm sure the flight attendant has something."
"You're going to tell the flight attendant about the baby!?" Jared asked coldly.
"Of course not, I'll figure something out…" Booth mumbled stroking Libby.
"I hope so, I'd rather not have my ass kicked by the feds." Hank joked.
"You know what? Plane food sucks. I think I'll by a bag of jolly ranchers for the ride." Teddy said.
"I'm with you there Teds…except the Jolly Rancher part, Raisinets are more my style." Hank said.
"I'm heading straight for the Reece Pieces." Jared said.
"I'm going for the Mini Crunch Bars." Booth said.
"Oh, Sarge, you don't need candy, you have formula." Teddy joked.
"Formula is going to be the only thing you'll be able to digest if you keep joking around like that." Booth warned.
Teddy swallowed and sank back into his seat.
"Please let us be landing soon. I don't think I'll be able to survive another minute with Teddy." Hank prayed.
"Well, you're going to be around me for long long time!" Teddy laughed.
"Don't remind me." Hank groaned as the plane started to descend into the winter cool city called Chicago.
Please review. I've never been to war (I'm only 13) but I'll try my best to make some of the stuff in here based off veterans experiences. I'll do some research!!!! PLEASE REVIEW!!! :)
