AN: I don't own Bones. Sorry about the wait but here's the update. Enjoy!

CHAPTER 6- Do you want to build a snowman?

BOOTH'S POV:

The children, who were very inspired by the movie Frozen, had asked Bones and me if they could build a snowman. I personally had absolutely no problems regarding them doing so but Bones was different matter altogether. She had clearly stated that she believed that if children had a higher exposure to below zero temperatures in their formative years it was more likely for them to develop certain diseases as they grew up. I though that she was just rubbishing on but I certainly didn't say anything. So that clearly meant that no snowmen were to be built today.

I turn to face my son and daughter "Hey guys since that Dr Bones won't let you run around outside and catch frostbite then why don't we all have a hot chocolate" I ask the two children.

They smile excitedly. "Yeah great idea dad!" cries Parker. Christine just smiles "I want to have a marshmallow!" she tells me.

I nod and head into the kitchen ready to get the children what they all wanted to eat.

"Here buddy," I say as I pass my eleven-year-old son his mug of hot chocolate.

I lean over and give Christine hers. She had a mug with a picture of a Christmas kitty on it. Christine nods and sips the warm chocolate. "Thanks daddy, I love chocolate milk" the giggles gleefully.

I nod and sip a black coffee that I had made myself "I know you do Sweetie" I reply "And I hope you like the pink marshmallow"

The young girl giggles, "I love marshmallows so much" she responds.

Lance Sweets looks over at me "You do make one mean hot chocolate Agent Booth" he says as he licks a milk moustache off of his top lip.

I just nod, in case you were wondering I heated the water using the stove since the electricity was out.

Bones walks over from beside the window. "Booth, the snow doesn't seem to be lessening even slightly," she says with a sigh.

I nod and push my chair in. "It is a snow storm sometimes the snow can be continuous for days" I reply. I walk over to Bones' side "We still need to come up with an idea of how to give Christine a Christmas to remember"

She nods "Oh Booth, I suppose because Parker won't give it a break" she replies.

I nod slightly "Well do you have any ideas?" I ask.

Bones shakes her head "We could…oh I don't know" she cuts off.

I shrug "Parker might have some ideas" I reply.

Bones smiles meekly "I'm getting a bit tired of the snow so I really wouldn't mind something to keep my mind off it all" she responds.

I nod and glance over to the children who appeared to be enjoying themselves with their Uncle Sweets. They really did love the irritating, youthful shrink and to admit the truth I didn't mind him much myself either.

BONES' POV:

"Ring, ring" went my mobile. I pick it up off the kitchen bench and look at the Caller ID. Angela Montenegro's smiling face filled the screen. I smile and slide across the answer bar.

"Brennan" I say into the receiver.

"Hi Bren," she laughs back.

I smile "Hello to you too Ange, what are you calling for now?" I ask my friend.

She sighs "So is the snow falling down hard at your place as well?" asks the Forensic Artist.

I nod "Yes, Christine is really having a bad time coming to terms with it" I respond.

"Michael isn't a fan either, he just wants Christine and Parker to come over, Hodgins is playing with him now but before he wouldn't stop whining"

"Sweets is being a good distraction for the kids but Christine has been whining for a proper Christmas as well and Booth and I are completely out of ideas of what to do for her" I reply.

"Mmmhh, " Angela begins "Does Parker have any ideas, that kid is pretty creative?"

I just shrug "Booth and I are still to ask him" I reply.

"Great Bren, is your power out as well?" she asks.

"Yes sadly that is causing even more issues," I reply "The children were watching a movie when the power went out and they were a bit shocked, Booth and I on the other hand were sipping a glass of red wine…" I say trailing off.

Angela chuckles "Hodgins and Michael were watching some bug documentary and I was sketching them" she begins "I don't know who was more upset when the power cut, Hodgins was really into that stupid documentary" my best friend laughs.

I nod "I better go" I reply, Booth was looking over at me and making some crazy hand signals. I shrug at him and he just slaps his forehead with his hand.

"Okay see ya later then Bren" Angela laughs

"Bye"

"Bye"

I push the hang up button and walk over to Booth. I was really beginning to wonder what he wanted.

AN: Hope you enjoyed that chapter. Chapter 7 will be up soon and it will be called "Brainstorm in a snowstorm". In it ideas will be thrown around for Christine's Christmas. Suggestions for upcoming chapters and what Christine's Christmas would be like are greatly appreciated. The more reviews the more inspiration I have to write the next instalment/chapter.

Please Review and Read, I'm grateful for all my lovely readers.
