AN: I don't own Bones, here is Chapter 5, Enjoy!

CHAPTER 5: Lights Out

SWEETS' POV-

I put my Psychology book the bathroom cupboard and open the door. I walk out of the bathroom and see Parker talking to Booth and Brennan. Where was Christine? I quickly pour myself another glass of Pomegranate juice and head upstairs in search of the young Booth.

"Christine, Christine" I call.

I find her all sprawled out on her bed playing on the home iPad. "Uncle Sweets!" she cries jumping up when she sees me.

I smile and scoop up Christine taking her down the stairs. It was still snowing heavily so I decided the best thing to keep Christine's mind off the snow is a movie.

I find Frozen in the children's movie cupboard and turn it on. Soon enough the two kids and I were all immersed in the story of courageous Anna chasing after her sister and trying to put things right in her kingdom of Arndale. We were just watching Elsa strike Anna in the heart with ice power when the TV went black and the heater turned off.

I looked over at the kids. "Power Outage" I tell them worriedly.

Christine starts to cry. I scoop her up "Hey Chrissie, It's gonna be okay" I tell her.

Christine sniffles "I want mommy!" she cries.

I nod and look over at Parker who was looking aggravated "Are you okay Parker" I ask him. Parker nods but still looks annoyed. "If you're okay then what is with the angry look?" I ask.

He just shakes his head "Now what are we going to do, I wanted to throw Christine the best Christmas lunch possible but no there has to be a black out" he replies.

I give him a sympathetic look "We'll still give Christine a good Christmas Parker, snow or no snow, power or no power" I reply.

He just nods and turns to the TV "I'll now also never know what was going to happen in the movie!" he groans.

I smile "Parker just be patient if you want you can watch it on my laptop after" I tell him.

Parker nods and Christine seems to have forgotten about the blackout temporarily. I breathe a sigh of relief and plop down on the couch.

BRENNAN'S POV-

(Revision of what Bones and Booth were doing at the time the power went out)

I look over at Booth. We were still sitting together on the couch, I think Sweets and the children were watching a movie in the other room because I heard the crashes and bangs that came out the speakers. I had been thinking about Christine's Christmas and decided to discuss it with Booth.

"Booth I was thinking about what Parker said about Christine" I begin.

Booth gives me a look "Bones Parker is just being a considerate older brother" he tells me "It's nothing to worry about" he tells me.

I nod "Yes I suppose that Christine won't remember anything about this Christmas when she grows up anyway" I concur.

Booth just smiles "It's Christmas how about a glass of red wine to celebrate" Booth begins.

I nod as I watch him disappear into the wine cupboard and pull out a bottle of 2004 Grange. I knew why he chose it because 2004 was the year we first met and worked on a case together.

Booth then walks back over to me and passes me a glass "Merry Christm…" he begins but then stops when all of a sudden the lights above us turn off along with the heater, which was humming softly in the corner of the room.

Booth and I both look at each other "Power Outage" we both say at once as we share a worried glance.

The power had only been out for about only two minutes but it seemed like so much longer. Not only were we snowed in now we were snowed into a dark house and the heaters didn't work. I had to go and check on my daughter.

I strolled into the other room to find Sweets sitting on the couch playing with Christine and Parker turning on two little tiny Lego movie torch key chains to light up the room.

Sweets sees me "Oh Brennan I see you have discovered the power failure" he laughs. Christine was sitting in his lap playing with a pony plush.

I nod and stroll over "Everyone I think we should all come into the living room or you guys will freeze alive" I tell them.

Sweets nods "We should try and light up the other room though" he says.

I give him a disapproving glance, of course I was going to try and light up the room. I wasn't the one using little tiny Lego lamps.

I quickly light some candles and gather up some coats for both Christine and Parker in case that they got cold.

"Christine, Parker put on some coats and warm yourselves up," I tell my daughter and stepson.

Parker nods and puts on a coat just before helping his sister into one. They both smile and run off to play a game.

Booth walks over to my side "You want a coat or something?" he asks me as he hugs my shoulder in a way of warming them up.

I nod "Yes that would be nice Booth" I reply as I cuddle up to Booth's chest. Booth then grabs me a trench coat and puts it over my shoulders.

"Thank you Booth" I tell my partner as we walk over into the living room to see what Parker, Christine and Sweets were doing.

"Dr Brennan, Booth what are you doing about the blackout?" asks Sweets.

I smile over at the Psychologist "Nothing much" Booth replies elbowing me lightly.

"Booth doesn't mean that we aren't even attempting to improve the state of things" I begin "He is just saying that we haven't done much more then lighting a couple of scented candles to supply us with some light" I tell Sweets.

He nods and Booth just looks at me with a disapproving glance. I was just moving an orange mandarin scented candle on to the kitchen table when Christine and Parker come running into the room exuberantly.

"Dr Bones, dad" Parker suddenly begins. He was carrying his little sister and Christine was holding a creeper toy.

"Yeah buddy what is it?" Booth asks.

Parker and Christine exchange cheeky glances. I was getting tired of waiting for them to respond. Sometimes the children acted very rudely in a highly disrespectful way.

They eventually responded with a quick seven words. "Do you want to build a snowman?"

AN: Hope you liked the latest Chapter. Chapter 6 should be up soon and it will be called "Do you want to build a Snow Man?". I will be updating my other stories soon and writing some more Reality, not all that Sweet tonight after dinner and I hope to update that soon.
