"Parker!"

Parker dropped his bag immediately, smiling widely as he crouched down, opening his arms as Christine ran into them, knocking him back, laughing as Henry finally reached him, trampling over Christine to hug him.

"Hey, guys." He chuckled, pressing a kiss to each of their heads as he stood up, grinning widely at his mom who'd retrieved his discarded bag. He looked up, searching the crowd, finding Booth and Brennan just a few paces away.

"Hey, bub." Booth grinned, wrapping an arm around Parker before he turned to Rebecca, enveloping her in a large hug.

"Hey, Bones." Parker smiled, hugging Brennan, carefully avoiding her baby bump, "How're you doing?"

"Your sister won't stop kicking my insides, but other than that I'm okay."

"Sister? You're having a girl?"

"We found out last week after she finally cooperated and didn't hide again, we wanted to tell you in person." Booth smiled.

"She's okay— healthy?"

"Perfectly healthy, she's got ten fingers and ten toes, we counted, right guys?"

"Yup," Henry smiled proudly, "She kicks too."

"She's taken to punching lately." Brennan smiled, reaching out for Parkers hand, pressing it against the side of her stomach, laughing when he smiled widely.

"She's strong." He whispered, awestruck as the baby kicked against his hand.

"Tell me about it." Brennan mumbled, smiling widely, "She's only just woken up but when she gets tired she tends to stretch out and you'll be able to see her hand or foot."

"Really?"

"You think that's impressive wait until she gets the hiccups." Booth chuckled, beginning to lead his family towards baggage claim,

"Anyone want to stop at the diner on the way back?" Brennan questioned, breaking out into laughter along with Rebecca as Booth, Parker, Christine and Henry all chorused the same question.

"Can we get pie?"
