"Dive! Dive! Dive! Dive! Dive!" The children cheered on Sweets. Daisy and him brought Hodgins, Angela, Michael Vincent, and Christine to a local YMCA to swim because it got too hot out today to do anything else and the kids really wanted to swim. The kids had talked him onto the divingboard. "Dive! Dive! Dive!"
Sweets took a deep breath and dove off the board. Soon he was swallowed into the pool and his already wet swim shirt clung to him even tighter, becoming like a second skin. He swam siftly through the water and over to the edge. When he popped up by the edge he saw the others waiting there.
"That was awesome!" Christine cooed, trying to clap her hands but her floaties stopped her from doing so.
"Thanks." Sweets breathed, holding up a hand to the children for high fives. They both gave them spirited little highfives, giggling all the way.
"I can't wait intill I'm a good enough swimmer to do that." Michael said, looking at the divingboard thing wonderment. He had just graduated from floaties a year ago, which was impresive considering his age.
"Soon enough, buddy." Hodgins smiled, patting his son on the head.
"My Lance is an excellent swimmer." Daisy smiled, rubbing her belly in a way that had become second nature to her. Sweets had bought her a new pregnancy bathingsuit and she loved it. It fit now medium sized bump comfortably but it made her other parts look slim, which was good concidering the weight she had put on.
"Yes, we can see that." Hodgins said, earning him an elbow to the ribs from his wife. "Ow..."
"Okay, enough of that." Sweets said, clamoring out of the pool and shaking his wet curls. "Lets go swim."
"Okay." Michael and Christine nodded. Michael ran off with his parents to the shallow end of the pool and Christine grabbed Sweets hand as he lead her over.

"Wasn't this nice?" Daisy smiled up at Sweets as he dried off his wet hair.
"Yeah, it was a lot of fun." Sweets smiled before slipping on a baggy t-shirt over his tight swim shirt.
"The kids really like swimming with their Uncle Sweets." Daisy smiled, getting up and sliding a bright summer dress over her bathing suit.
"I guess." Sweets shrugged a nonchalant shoulder.
"They do." She smiled, giving a peck on the cheek. "Your wonderful."
"Daisy, we are in public." Sweets chuckled, pushing the hand that hand found itself tracing a circle in his chest away.
"But your so cute..." Daisy pouted, bringing herself close to him.
"Down, girl." Sweets laughed, moving away from her as Hodgins and Angela returned with the kids, who were fresh in their dry clothes.
"Hurry up, Brennan is waiting for us at her place." Angela called over and Sweets nodded.
"Movie time." He sing-songed, walking over.
"Today is the best day EVER!" Christine giggled, jumping up and down. "I get to swim AND watch a movie with pizza."
"That's right." Sweets laughed. "Now come, we wouldn't want to keep your mother waiting too long."

"Pleaaassseeee, Mommy, please!" Christine pouted at her mother.
"I don't think its a very good idea..." Brennan sighed, rubbing the back off her neck.
"Pleeaasseeee! I just wanna stay with him for one night! Pretty please? I love spending time with Uncle Sweets and Daisy. We will have so much fun" Christine said, pouting and putting on her best begging face.
"Fine, you can sleep over Sweets. Just for tonight and as long as he promises to bring you to daycare in the morning." Brennan said and Christine looked over to Sweets with big eyes.
"I'm sure I could do that." Sweets smiled, shrugging a shoulder, and Christine squealed happily.
"Alright then, you can go. You better get your... things... together." Brennan started but Christine was already gone. "Okay."
"You're sure about this?" Sweets asked, quirking a brow at her.
"I'm sure you will take care of her, just make sure she gets to bed by 8:30."
"Can do." Daisy smiled before squeeing and grinning happily at Lance. "This is awesome, Lance! This will be so much fun! And it'll be like a little parenting practice!"
"I guess it will." Lance smiled, kissing her softly on the lips.
"You can make pancakes for breakfast." Daisy said, hope glinting in her eyes.
"With chocolate chips." Sweets added in with a grin.
"You're awesome." Daisy smiled, tilting her head at him.
"I agree, even though it sounds unhealthy, that breakfast selection sounds quite tasty. I'm sure that Christine will enjoy it. Booth... made her pancakes shaped like things every Saturday morning." Brennan smiled, looking to the ground.
"You going to go see Booth in jail soon?"
"Tommorrow." She nodded.
"Good for you." Sweets smiled, nodding her head.
"May I just say how impressed I am with you, Dr. Brennan. If my Lance was in jail... I don't know what I would do. You are being so strong." She smiled at the fellow scientist, who smiled back.
"Thank you, Miss Wick, and may I say that you are handling your pregnancy with Sweets' baby remarkably well." Brennan nodded at her. "A lesser woman may have ran away to hide their pregnancy and then given it up for adoption, but you made an informed decision to tell the father and start a family. It will provide a stable enviroment for the child and can provide the opportunity of blood siblings later, which will help aid in his development later in life. It was a very wise and amerable choice."
"Thank you." Daisy grinned, placing a hand on her bump.
"He is still kicking frequently?" She asked, tilting her head at the bump.
"Yes." Daisy laughed lightly. "He is really active."
"I was always greatful that Christine wasn't that active. Some of the mothers from the birthing classes Booth and I took had very active fetuses and they said it made it difficult to sleep."
"It does. For both of us. I wake up, so that wakes up Lance and it's just very tiring, but it'll be worth it when my Little Lance is born." Daisy smiled tiredly.
"I hope so." Sweets laughed. "Because I'm tired of sleeping on the couch when you have rough nights and won't let me sleep."
"I said sorry." Daisy smiled, swatting at his shoulder.
"I know." Sweets smiled, kissing her head and wrapping an arm around her.
"You two are going to make a wonderful family for your child." Brennan smiled.
"You're a part of his family to, Dr. Brennan." Daisy smiled. "The whole team is."
"I suppose you are right... The team is like family to me and my daughter, so I suppose the pronciple applies to you as well." She said, nodding her head as her daughter dragged her things into the livingroom.
"I'm ready!" Christine giggled.
"Awesome!" Sweets grinned, clapping his hands together. "Lets hit the road!"
