A/N: I truly didn't plan on it being over a month before I posted part 2 but about a week after I posted part 1 my computer took a serious crap and I was without it for a month! I wrote some of this on the kindle, but that took too long so I had to wait. I fast tracked the end a little because you've been waiting long enough.

A month later Brennan came downstairs after putting Christine to bed. "She finally fell asleep; she just wanted to be held. I think she knows that things are going to change soon. We need to get her moved into her new room as soon as we can, I've only got about four more months."

Booth looked up and patted the couch next to him; Brennan smiled and walked over, sitting down.

"We can go this weekend since we won't have Parker."

"That sounds good; I think she'll take it easier if we make it all about her."

"You know what kinds of room she'll want don't you?"

"Princesses."

"Yep. It's going to look like a fairy threw up in there."

Brennan chuckled a little, "At least white goes with pink so you won't have to repaint."

"True, I hated painting this house before we moved in."

"I know Wendell told me, he was worried I'd hate the colors. I'm worried about how she'll be sleeping in a normal bed; she's been sleeping with one of the sides gone on her crib since she started climbing out of it after her first birthday. This is going to be different, and what if she needs something and we don't hear her?"

Booth kissed Brennan's cheek," Christine will be fine, once she gets used to her room, she probably won't want to leave it. I can put a monitor, like the one in the nursery in her room, if you want me to. We can take it out once she starts school."

"That would be nice."

Booth chuckled and kissed Brennan's cheek again. "Do you want anything?"

"Oreos."

"Milk too?"

"Yes."

"Do you want me to bring it upstairs?"

"Could you?"

"Yes, see you in a few minutes."

"Okay."

That Friday Brennan left the lab early and got Christine from daycare and headed home. Once they got home Brennan helped Christine out of her jacket, "Christine go sit on the couch I want to talk to you."

"K."Brennan smiled at Christine as she grabbed her bunny and headed to the couch. Brennan sat down next Christine and put her arm around her, pulling her close. "The baby will be here in a few months and will need a bedroom to sleep in. Daddy and I were thinking the baby can sleep in your room and you can sleep in the room next to Parker's. We'll go to the store tomorrow and get you a big girl bed."

"NO!" Brennan smiled and reached for her I Pad and pulled up a selection of princess bedding and room accessories. "Look at the entire princess stuff you can get to put in your new room." Brennan handed the I Pad to Christine. Do you want all of that stuff?"

"Uh huh."

"Well you can have it if you move into the other room and let the baby have your room."

"K."

"Thank you. Do you want spaghetti tonight?"

"Uh huh."

"Okay." Brennan tried to get up, Christine held on to her arm."Do you want me to stay here for a while?"

"Ya."

Brennan laid Christine in her lap and turned on the TV finding an educational show that Christine liked and started running her fingers through her hair."You know that when the baby gets here it is going to take a lot of mine and daddy's attention, you're going to have to be patient and wait sometimes. When the baby gets a little older he or she take as much of our time, but you're still going to have to be patient, okay?"

"K."

Brennan kissed Christine's cheek, "Love you, sweetheart."

"Love you, mommy."Christine pulled Brennan's hand closer to her body and snuggled down to watch TV. Booth smiled when he came in the door over an hour later, PBS News Hour was on the TV, meaning Brennan had let Christine watch some kiddy show and fell asleep before it was over. Booth walked around the couch and smiled at Christine who was playing with Brennan's I Pad while she slept. "Hi baby girl."

Christine looked up, "Daddy! Mommy sleeping." Christine was whispering as well as two year old could. Brennan didn't stir.

"I see that, let's go make dinner while she sleeps. What do you want?"

"Mommy said sketti."

"Okay sketti is." Booth picked Christine up and headed to the kitchen. Forty-five minutes later after the sauce thickened and the pasta was done, Booth took Christine out of her chair and pointed her towards the living room. "Go wake up mommy, gently."

"K." Booth watched from the doorway of the kitchen as Christine put her hand on Brennan's shoulder. "Mommy." Brennan stirred and opened her eyes, blinking at the light. "What do you want, sweetheart?"

"Daddy home!" Booth moved to the couch before Brennan got confused. "Hi sleepyhead, enjoy your nap?"

"Yes actually, though I don't know how long I've been asleep."

"At least 45 minutes, but when I got home PBS News Hour was half over."

"Almost two hours! The last thing I remember is Christine getting excited when Clifford came on. I can't believe I slept that long-"

"You and peanut need your sleep. Christine was fine; she was playing with your I Pad when I got here. She was leaning on you; you had your hand on her arm."

"At least she was okay. I need to start dinner, Christine wants spaghetti."

"I know she told me. It's done if you want to eat now."

"That sounds great." Brennan sat up and tried to push herself up.

"Need some help?" Brennan nodded a little. Booth smiled and gently pulled her to her feet. Once Brennan was on her feet, Booth picked up Christine and the three of them headed to the kitchen.

The next morning after a quick breakfast the family headed to the mall. Once they were headed to the department store, Brennan turned to Christine, "Christine are you ready to get your big girl bed?"

"No!"

"She'll be fine once she sees all the accessories, Bones "

"I know we have to do it, I am not getting a second crib. She'll like it; she may take a few days to get used to sleeping in a regular bed though."

"We'll work on it. It will be fine."

Brennan nodded and turned to Christine, "you don't want the princess stuff you looked at yesterday?"

"Uh huh."

"Well remember I said you could only get it if you let the baby have your bedroom."

"No!"

"Noodle, your new room has room for your dollhouse; you won't have to ask me or mommy to get it for you when you want to play with it."

"No!" Booth chuckled and continued to the store and back to the children's bedding section. Fifteen minutes later Brennan had chosen a white twin bed."Okay Christine are you ready to choose what accessories you want for your room?"

"No!" Brennan stopped Booth from pushing the stroller and went around to the front, unbuckling Christine and picked her up. "Are you sure Bones?"

"Yes, this is one of the last times I'll be able to until after the baby."

"Okay." Booth continued on to the children's bedding department.

"Christine we don't have to get anything today: we'll just look and see what they have that you want, okay?"

"K." Brennan rubbed Christine's back as she headed for the bedding. Brennan stopped at the display of princess bedding. "Look Christine." Christine turned her head and her eyes lit up."Prinness!"

"Yeah. Do you want princess sheets and a blanket for your new bed?"

"Uh-huh."

"Okay, do you want pink or purple sheets?" Christine shrugged, Brennan smiled. "How about we get a set of sheets in each color and a pink blanket?"

"K."

"Why don't you go sit in your stroller while I get a cart to put all the sheets and stuff in."

"K."

"I'll get the cart Bones stay there with her."

"Okay." Brennan nodded and started buckling Christine in again. Twenty minutes later Booth was pushing a cart loaded with two sets of princess sheets, matching curtains, a rug, lamp, night light, wall hangings, and a wall paper border that Hodgins unknowingly volunteered to help Booth hang when they got home.

"Are you ready to get some lunch Bones?"

"Yeah, then we can take Christine to the playground so hopefully she'll make herself tired and sleep through us Angela and Hodgins moving her room. I feel like pizza…"

"Pizza it is." Brennan smile at Booth and pushed the stroller past the crib bedding, glancing at it.

"Bones get a new crib set if you want to."

Brennan looked at Booth and smiled a little, "Christine's is adequate."

Booth pretended not to notice Brennan running her hand over a set of receiving blankets.

"Christine's bedding set has split-up stains on it and it is worn from constant washing. Besides little boys don't want to sleep on pink butterflies."

"We don't know it's a boy; we're relying on my gut-"

"So get something that's gender neutral…" Brennan turned the stroller around and unbuckled Christine, picking her up. "Which sheet set should we get for your baby bother or sister's new room?" Brennan looked through the packages, watching Christine for a reaction. after a minute Christine reached foe a package," loons!"

"You think we should get the set with the balloons on them?"

"Uh huh."

"Okay." Brennan handed Christine the package and turned toward the cart. "Put them in the cart." Christine tossed the package in the cart; Brennan turned and put her in the stroller. Christine started to protest. "Christine, you need to sit in your stroller while daddy and I get everything for your brother or sister's new room. Then we'll go have pizza and play on the playground before we go home, okay?"

"K." Brennan finished strapping Christine in, then she kissed her forehead and handed her pink bunny.

Brennan and Booth got everything that went with the balloon sheets. Almost two hours later they pulled into their driveway to find Angela and Hodgins waiting to help move furniture and set up rooms.

"Bren do they even have any princess bedding left?" Angela popped the hatch on the SUV

"That's not all for Christine, Booth convinced me to get new bedding set for the baby and I had to get the matching accessories.

"Aww what did you get?"

"Christine chose the balloon set, it is cute. It will go nicely with the pale yellow walls we already have in the room." Booth walked up to Brennan with a sleeping Christine in his arms. "Where should I put her?"

"I'll put her in Parker's room, that way she won't be in anyone's way, but be close by." Booth handed Christine to Brennan then he joined Angela in removing the dozens of bags from the SUV so he and Hodgins could take Christine's new bed upstairs. A little over an hour later Brenan heard the unmistakable," Mommy? Daddy? "That signaled Christine was up and didn't really know where she was.

"I'll go Bren; do you want me to bring her in here?"

"Yeah that'd be great Ange; I don't think I can get up! She can help put her toys in bins to move to her room."

"Do you need me to get Booth to help you up?"

"No, not yet."

"Okay."

A few minutes later Angela came back with Christine. "Mommy!"

"Hi sweetheart, did you have a good nap?"

"Uh huh."

"That's good. Do you want to help me and Angela pack up your toys so we can move them to your new room?"

"No." Christine picked up a block; Brennan stopped her hand from throwing it. "No, you can't throw blocks, Christine."

"K."

Brennan picked up one of Christine's dolls."Can you put your doll in the tub next to Angela?" Christine got up and grabbed the doll by its arm and walked over and dropped it in the tub. Brennan sat quietly on the floor and watched as Christine picked up the rest of her dolls by various body parts and dropped them in the tub. "I done mommy."

Brennan looked up from the pile of shirts she was folding. "Good job, sweetheart. Can you go get daddy for me, and ask him to come here?" He's in the room next to Parker's."

"K." Christine got up and ran out of the room.

"You okay, sweetie?'

"Yeah, I just need to get up and I don't think I can by myself."

Angela chuckled, "not much longer Bren."

"Eleven weeks and three days..."

Booth waked in carrying Christine."What's wrong, Bones? Did you get down and can't get up."

"Yes..."

Booth put Christine down and walked over to Brennan and took her hand gently pulling her up. Once Brennan was on her feet Booth kissed her cheek, "you okay?"

"Yes, sitting on the floor sounded good in theory, but was lousy in execution. "

"Aw Bones it's okay. Christine's room is done and the wallpaper is up, we haven't moved the other bed downstairs yet though."

"Christine come on lets go look at your new bed."

"No!"

"Well I want to see it." Booth and Brennan headed down the hall, leaving Christine behind a few seconds later they heard footsteps and Booth felt Christine pulling on his sleeve. "Daddy!" Booth picked Christine up and continued to her new room. Booth opened the door to find Hodgins hanging a curtain.

"Look at your new room sweetheart." Christine looked up "Prinness!"

"Yeah you got your princess room!" Booth put Christine on the floor and she went over to the bed and tried to climb on. "We're going to have to get her a stepstool or something Booth." Brennan went over and helped Christine onto the bed.

"Yeah I can go back later and see if they have one."

"Okay."

"So noodle do you think you can sleep in here?"

"No, not tired!"

Booth chuckled," I didn't mean now, I meant tonight when it's bedtime." Christine shrugged.

Brennan kissed Christine's forehead, "it'll be fun, and you'll love it. I'm going to go decorate your Brother or sister's room, do you want to help or stay here?"

"Stay here."

"Okay." Angela came in then with a box of toys. 'Hey Sweetie, why don't you and I put your toys and things away while daddy and Jack take the other bed to the basement and mommy starts decorating your brother or sister's room."

"K." Brennan left Christine on the bed and said thank you to Angela on her way out.

A few hours later both rooms were finished and Angela and Hodgins had gone home leaving Booth and Brennan to get Christine down for the night. She normally went down without a fight but she'd been in a mood since she saw her old room transformed back into a nursery. Brennan let Christine walk ahead of her up the stairs to see where she'd go, Christine turned into her old room. "No, sweetheart your room is next to Parker's now , remember?" Christine didn't reply, but headed down the hall to her new room. Christine stopped by the bed and looked at Brennan. Brennan lifted Christine over the bed rail and tried to lay her down, the two year old resisted. "Christine, you need to lie down and go to sleep, it's bedtime."

"No, I want my room!"

"This is your new big girl room; your old room has the crib for your brother or sister to sleep in after they're born." Christine started to whine. "Do you want me to stay here until you go to sleep?"

"Uh huh."

"Okay, but you have to lie down and go to sleep, no cuddles or stories, okay?"

"K." Brennan helped Christine lay down then she pulled the blanket around her and then she tucked the pink terrycloth bunny that she and Booth had gotten the day they found out they were having a girl, under her arm. "Sweet dreams Christine, I love you." Brennan kissed Christine's cheek.

"Love, mommy." Christine rolled toward Brennan and wrapped her arm around Brennan's. An hour later Booth smiled as he entered Christine's room, Brennan had pushed Christine's bean char over and had fallen asleep in it. Booth tucked the covers around Christine and kissed her cheek. Next he bent down and carefully picked up Brennan; she stirred but didn't wake up. Booth had just pulled the covers over Brennan when she woke up, "Booth?"

"Yeah, you fell asleep in Christine's beanbag chair. I was just putting you in bed, go back to sleep."

"Thanks, as much as I'd love to do that, your son or daughter has decided to start kicking and I have the need to use the bathroom." Booth smiled slightly and let Brennan get up and head to the bathroom. A few minutes later Brennan got into bed and turned on the camera feed in Christine's room. "Bones, she's fine, see she's sleeping with a death grip on her bunny like always."

"I know but-"

"No, no buts, we'll hear her if she needs anything. Go back to sleep, you need your sleep as much as Christine does."

"Are you going to Church in the morning?"

"Yes, I'll try not to wake you."

"Thanks."

The next morning Booth had just gotten out of bed when he heard Christine call out for Brennan over the monitor. He hurried to her room, "good morning noodle, mommy's still sleeping. I am proud of you for sleeping all night in your big girl bed." Booth lifted Christine over the rail and kissed her cheek. "Do you want to go to Church with me?"

"Uh-huh. Arker?"

"I don't know if Parker will be there we'll see. Stay here and play while I get ready then I'll help you get ready."

"K."

Booth put Christine down and returned to his and Brennan's bedroom. Once he was ready, Booth checked the video feed to see if Christine was still awake, seeing she was, he leaned over the bed to wake Brennan. "Bones….Bones?" Booth shook Brennan's shoulder, she stirred. 'Hum…"

"Christine is awake so I'm going to take her with me; she said she wants to go. I just wanted to tell you so you wouldn't freak out if you woke up and she wasn't here. Sorry that I woke you, go back to sleep."

"It's okay. Actually I think I'm going to get up and take a long bath and maybe work on my book since I will have a couple child free hours." Booth smiled, "enjoy. Do you want me to bring back something from the diner?"

"That would be nice."

"What do you want?"

"Pancakes."

"I can make us all some when we get home."

"That's even better."

Booth chuckled, "Okay. I need to get Christine dressed and get her baggie of cereal for the car."

"I can dress her if you want me to…"

"I got it Bones."

"Okay, love you."

"Love you, too. See you later." Booth leaned in for a kiss that Brennan gladly returned and accepted.

Close to two hours later Booth found Brennan on the couch in a clean pair of pajamas typing away on her laptop. "Mommy!" Brennan's head snapped up and she smiled. "Hi Christine, did you have a good time with daddy?"

"Uh huh."

"That's great."

Booth leaned over the back of the couch and sat Christine next to Brennan, kissing Brennan. "She was well behaved; she sat on my lap quietly the whole time. I think we should try and video chat with P-A-R-K-E-R after lunch someone was hoping to see him this morning. "

Brennan nodded,"That's great! Why don't we go upstairs and change your clothes while daddy makes pancakes?"

"K."Twenty minutes later Brennan and Christine were sitting down to heart shaped pancakes and strawberries. After they were through with the pancakes Brennan got Parker on video chat and let Christine chat with him for a while before she and Booth took over.

A month later Booth came downstairs after putting Christine in bed and sat next to Brennan. "Christine is out like a light, playing with Michael Vincent always tires her out."

"That's why I said yes when Angela suggested that she take her so we could have some alone time tonight. Booth, we need to talk about names, we don't have a lot of time to choose one."

"Okay, I don't have any that I'm set on using this time."

"Are you sure you don't want to name the baby after your dad or pops if it's a boy?"

"Yes, no child of mine is going to be named after either of my parents. And pops, he made me promise not to name my kids after him, dad was…."

"Oh…"

"What about you, Bones? Do you have anyone you want to name our baby after?"

"No, but I've always liked the name Ryan for a boy."

"I like it, we need a middle name though-"

"What's Jared's?"

"Lucas."

"Ryan Lucas Booth, I like it."

"Me too. Now for a girl. I've always liked Jenna for a girl."

"She wasn't a girlfriend was she?"

"No, babysitter afterschool…"

"I like it too."

"Bones what's your middle name?"

"I don't have one, when mom and dad changed our names they didn't give us middle names. Before that my middle name was Anne."

"Jenna Anne Booth, I like it."

"Me too."

The remaining weeks of Brennan's pregnancy flew by and she was enjoying her time off with Christine and Booth. It was 4 days before Brennan's due date and she was on the couch reading the June issue of Scientific American while Christine colored on the floor next to her. Brennan closed the magazine and looked over at Christine," Christine, can you go upstairs and tell daddy I need him to come down here, now, please?"

"K."Christine put down her crayon and headed for the stairs, by time she got to Booth and Brennan's room, Booth was coming out of the doorway. "Where are you going noodle?"

"Daddy, mommy say she needs you-" Booth's heart skipped a beat and he picked Christine up hurrying down the stairs. He found Brennan sitting on the couch with her eyes closed; Booth put Christine on the floor and knelt next to Brennan. "Bones?" Brennan's eyes opened, Booth smiled a little. "Do I need to call Angela?"

"That would be a good idea. I've been having contractions on and off all morning and since you come in from mowing the grass I've had three… "

Booth tried not to show his panic over the fact that he'd only been in the house for 35 minutes. "Okay, are you okay?"

"Yes, just call this is gonna be fast I can feel it." Booth nodded as he dialed Angela's number. "Ange, Bones and I need you to come get Christine-"

"Yes."

"Okay." Booth hung up and put his phone in his pocket.

"She'll be here in ten minutes, she's making Hodgins turn around, they're on the way home from the store."

"Okay, I should be fine until then. Christine come here." Christine walked over to Brennan and Booth silently picked her up sitting her on his lap."Christine, Angela is going to be here soon to pick you up-"

"No!" Christine climbed on Brennan's lap, Booth raised an eyebrow.

"She's okay." Brennan turned Christine face to hers. "It's time for your brother or sister to be born. Remember we talked about this Christine; you can't stay here while your brother or sister is born."

"No." Christine started to pout, Brennan chuckle a little

"Yes, your brother or sister will be born soon and daddy and I are going to be very busy with the baby tonight. You're going to spend the night with Michael Vincent and when you come home tomorrow, after lunch you can meet your brother or sister okay?"

"No!"

"I'll make sure daddy or I call you before you go to sleep, okay?" Brennan kissed Christine's forehead. Brennan tensed up, Christine looked at her questionably. "Noodle, come sit on my lap until Angela gets here, mommy can't hold you right now." Christine pushed herself in to Brennan's lap. "Christine, go sit on daddy's lap please, I really can't hold you right now…After the baby is born and I feel better I'll hold you, okay?

"K." Christine climbed on Booth's lap and snuggled in to him, he held Brennan's hand. Angela quietly let herself in a few minutes later and walked over to the couch. "Bren?"

Brennan looked up, "Hey Ange."

"How are you doing?"

"Okay, it's going to be really soon…"

"OH let me get Christine out of here then…"

"Thanks." Angela reached to take Christine from Booth, she held on to his neck. "No, I stay!" Booth freed Christine's arms and kissed her cheek, holding her so Brennan could do the same."Bye sweetheart, don't cry I'll see you tomorrow. I love you." Brennan wiped Christine's tears away with a shaky hand and kissed her forehead again. Angela tried to pick up Christine again, "come on sweetie, I've got some things for you and Michael Vincent to do at home, you're going to get messy."Christine was still crying, but she let Angela pick her up. "Bren, don't worry about Christine, she'll be fine once she sees all of the art stuff I got Michael Vincent yesterday. Just concentrate on the new baby. Call me later."

"Thanks Ange." Brennan whispered Angela nodded and quickly headed for the door, once the door closed, Brennan turned to Booth. "Booth, can you get the box of supplies and bring them down here? I don't think I can make it upstairs…."

"Yes." Booth jogged to the stairs and took them two at a time. Not even five minutes Booth got things situated while Brennan tried to find a position to either sit or stand in that wasn't too painful. Booth found Brennan in the kitchen, "Bones, you okay?" Booth lightly rubbed Brennan's back.

"Yes, staying sill and/or sitting down makes it worse, walking around helps, I got this far before my water broke. I don't remember Christine hurting this bad…"

"Bones, you're doing great, it'll be over soon. I love you…" Booth wiped Brennan's face with the cold cloth he had just gotten, Brenan smiled a little. "Better?"

"Yeah."

"Do you want to go to living room now?"

Brennan nodded and Booth helped Brennan to the living room and over to the towels he'd laid down. Booth helped Brennan bet situated on the floor, she tensed up, "Booth I need to…"

Booth kissed the top of Brennan's head. "Do whatever you need to, I'm right here and everything is ready. I love you..."

"Love you too. "Just then Booth's phone buzzed, he glanced at the text."Angela says Christine is fine, she and Michael Vincent are finger-painting in the yard." Booth held his phone up so Brennan could see the picture attached.

Brennan smiled a little, "The baby is coming!"Booth put his phone down and picked up a towel.

"Aw Bones the baby has a lot of hair…"

"As he/ she should, I had terrible heartburn…" a few minutes passed, "I can't do this anymore…"

Booth reached up and squeezed Brennan's hand, "Yes, you can, the baby's head is out and everything is fine. I love you."

Brennan nodded and closed her eyes, summoning whatever strength she had to get the baby here."Good job, Bones, the baby is almost here. You're doing great!" Brennan tuned Booth out and concentrated on getting the baby here.

The next sound Brennan heard was a baby's cry followed by Booth's voice. "Shh little guy I know you don't like it, but I have to do it then we'll go see mommy in a minute."

"It's a boy?" Brennan smiled and pushed herself into a sitting position.

"Yep, it's a boy." Booth finished wiping Ryan off and placed him on Brennan's chest, covering him a clean towel. "Hi sweetheart, I love you so much." Brennan bent and kissed the top of Ryan's head. Booth smiled as Ryan calmed down when Brennan started talking quietly to him.

"Somebody loves their mommy."Booth kissed Brennan's forehead, "I love you Bones, and you did great."

Brennan looked up," I love you too. Do you want to hold him?"

"I will later, enjoy it. From the time you had Christine get me till now was only 45 minutes Bones!"

"I told you it was going to be fast."

"I know I'm going to get Ryan some clothes."

"They're lying on his dresser; the blanket is hanging over the crib."

"Okay, do you want me bring yours too?"

"Please." Brennan didn't look up from Ryan who seemed happy just to be lying in Brennan's arms, Booth smiled and headed upstairs. Twenty minutes later Brennan was redressed and holding Ryan while Booth struggled with the snaps on his sleeper. "Why do they make these snaps so tiny?"

"Because they need to be in proportion to the sleeper. Do you want me to do it?"

"No I got it. You can wrap him up though, I was never good that."

"Okay." once Brennan had wrapped Ryan securely in a receiving blanket, she looked at Booth. "Booth, you need to send Angela a picture, you know she's anxious. Don't get me in it though, I look horrible- "

"You don't look horrible, but I won't get you in it."

"Thank you." Booth snapped a close up of Ryan's face and sent it to Angela, she replied all most immediately. "She says he's adorable and she can't wait to hold him." Brennan smiled and rubbed Ryan's cheek. "He is adorable."

An hour later after Cam had came over and declared Ryan and Brennan healthy, Booth was holding Ryan. "Bones, take a nap for a while, I'll wake you up for dinner and so we can call Christine if Ryan doesn't do it before."

"Will you stay here?"

"Yeah, we'll both stay right here won't we, Ry? Are you sure you don't want to go to bed?"

"Not right now…."

"Okay go to sleep, I love you."

"Love you too."Brennan snuggled into Booth's shoulder.

Two hours later Brennan had just finished feeding Ryan when Booth entered the living room with a try of food. Booth sat down next to Brennan, "Everything okay?"

"Yes, Ryan has your appetite."

"Speaking of appetites, I made sautéed veggies with bowtie pasta."

"Sounds good, I'm starving." Brennan got up and placed Ryan in his bassinet. Returning to the couch Brennan picked up her bowl and dug in. After finishing dinner Brennan called Angela to say goodnight to Christine only to find out she and Michael Vincent had just fallen asleep watching a movie.

After a surprisingly restful night Booth and Brennan were laying in bed watching Ryan sleep between them when Booth's phone sounded, he looked at the text. Smiling he looked up at Brennan,"It's Angela asking if we're ready for Christine to come home, she's been wanting to come home since she got up at …6:30…"

Brennan smiled and ran a finger over Ryan's tiny fist. "I've been wondering when we'd get that text, I'm surprised she lasted this long. She can come home, I'm a little tired and sore, but keeping Christine at Angela's isn't going to change that. I hope she likes Ryan."

Booth finished the text and looked at Brennan, "she will." Booth's phone vibrated he looked at it."Ange will be here in a half hour."

"I'm surprised she's not calling from the driveway. Christine may want to come home, but Angela wants to see the baby just as much. I think my being pregnant has made her want another child, but she and Hodgins won't consider it with the odds they face."

"I thought they were going to adopt?"

"They are when Michael Vincent is a little older. I need to get Ryan changed into the frog sleeper Christine picked out begore she gets home."

"She's not going to remember Bones."

"Still I told her I'd make sure the baby was wearing it when she saw him or her for the first time. I'm not going back on what I told her even though she more than likely will not remember it." Brennan rolled off the bed and stood up, cradling Ryan to her. "Come on sweetheart; let's get ready to meet your sister." Brennan took Ryan next door; Booth watched them go before heading to the bathroom to get a little more presentable before Angela got there.

Twenty minutes later Booth was standing by the door waiting, knowing that Angela would probably bring meals for a few days and to intercept Christine. Booth opened the door and stepped onto the porch when the girls were half way up the walk; Christine sped up and hurled herself in to his arms. "Daddy! I miss you!"

"I missed you too, noodle." Booth stood up and kissed the side of Christine's head. "Are you ready to go see the baby and mommy?" Christine nodded. "Okay, you need to use your inside voice, the baby isn't used to loud noises. You can hug mommy gently, no throwing yourself at her."

"K."

Booth looked back at Angela. "Go on Booth I can manage."

"You sure?"

"Yes, when you're a mom you learn to do a lot of things with your hands full."

Booth hesitated, "Booth, go before Christine busts from excitement or falls asleep."

"Okay," Booth went into the house and over to the couch. "Mommy! I miss you!"

Brennan looked up, "hi Christine I missed you too. Come see your baby brother, Ryan." Booth sat down on the couch with Christine in his lap, Brennan held Ryan down so Christine could see him. "Can you say hi to Ryan?"

Hi wyan." Christine noticed the frog sleeper, "Froggy!"She jabbed a finger at the sleeper, Brennan pulled her hand back. "Sweetheart, don't poke your brother, it isn't nice."

Christine looked at Brennan, "I'm not mad at you and you're not in trouble just don't do it again, okay."

"K."

"Do you want daddy to help you hold him?" Christine nodded, Booth scooted back and sat Christine in the middle of his lap and positioned her hands while Brennan stood up and placed Ryan in her arms.

Christine looked at Ryan. "What do you think Christine?" she shrugged Ryan chose that moment to open his eyes."Mommy, he looked at me!" Christine looked at Brennan, grinning a little.

Brennan chuckled. "Yeah he's trying to figure out who you are. Tell him who you are, he likes for people to talk to him."

"I Christine, wyan." Ryan stretched arm out. "Christine, put your finger in Ryan's hand, he'll hold on to it." Christine giggled as Ryan's tiny fingers closed around hers. After a few minutes Christine started getting wiggly. "Christine should we let Angela hold Ryan for a while?"

"Yeah."

Booth looked at Angela,"Come get him Ange…"

Angela walked over and gently scooped Ryan into her arms, "AW Bren, he's adorable, the picture didn't do him justice. "

"Pictures aren't always accurate, especially cell phone-"

"I know Bren-"Angela looked down and stroked Ryan's cheek with her finger, when she looked up she had tears in her eyes. "He makes me want another one! " Angela chuckled. A few minutes later Angela looked up again and smiled, Christine had climbed onto Brennan's lap and now mother and daughter were sound asleep. Angela walked over to Booth and handed Ryan to him. "I guess I should go. There's a week's worth of meals in your freezer, they're from all of us."

"Thanks Ange."

You're welcome, congratulations. Have Bren call me when she gets a chance."

"I will, Thanks." Booth got up walking Angela to the door. Once she was gone Booth put Ryan in his bassinet and covered Brennan and Christine with the throw blanket from the couch.

A few hours later Christine was holding Ryan on her own with a little help from Brennan while they waited for Parker to get there. "Christine are you going to let Parker hold Ryan when he gets here?"

"No!" Christine started to pull Ryan up towards her body more.

"Christine, you can't pull on Ryan like that, you could hurt him." Christine tried to get up."You don't want to hold Ryan anymore?"

"No."

"You can. Holding him won't hurt, but pulling on his arms and legs will." Brennan placed Ryan back in Christine's arms "You can give him a kiss on his forehead if you want, gently." Christine bent her head down and kissed Ryan's forehead. A few minutes later Christine looked up when she heard footsteps. "Arker!"

"Hi Christine, Who's that?'

"Wyan, brouther…."

"The baby is a boy?"

"Yes, Parker, his name is Ryan Lucas Booth. Your dad has been calling him Ry since he was born. Come meet him." Parker walked to the couch. "Christine, it's Parker's turn to hold Ryan."

"No!" Christine started to move Ryan a little.

"Come on noodle, you can pick out what we're having for dinner from the meals Angela brought over while Parker holds Ryan for a while. "Booth went over and picked up Ryan, giving him a kiss before helping Parker hold him. Then he picked Christine up and headed for the kitchen.

"So Parker what do you think?"

"Ryan's a lot smaller than Christine was. At least he didn't puke on me when he saw me for the first time like she did. I like that I'll be here to see him more. "

"Yes, we all like that you'll be around more , not just so you can see Ryan more, but because we miss you when you're not here."

Parker smiled. "Bones, can I spend the night? Mom and dad said it was okay with them, but I had to ask you first."

"Yes, you can. In fact I think you being here might be helpful, I have a feeling we are going to have a hard time getting your sister to go bed tonight. Maybe an extra story with you in a blanket fort will help."

"Okay." Just then Ryan started fussing.

"Let me take him, he's hungry."

"Okay." Brennan picked up Ryan and headed for the stairs. "Shh sweetheart, you'll have dinner in a few minutes."

"Speaking of dinner, our half meatless half chicken enchilada casserole will be ready in 30 minutes according to Angela's instructions on the foil."

"Perfect then after we eat we can watch a movie together, all five of us.

"Sounds absoutly perfect Bones."

Brennan smiled, "Yes it does." then she continued up the stairs.

A/N2: Part 2 was going to be a lot longer and have more of Christine not being 100% on board with having a baby brother, but I decide to end it like this. Everyone has wanted long enough. I know parts of Christine's speech and grammar isn't correct, I did that on purpose
