72. Frozen
They'd patiently sat in the waiting room, sat while Brennan had been in labour, sat when Booth had entered the waiting room with the news of a baby girl, sat while Max and Marianne had transported Parker, Christine and Henry to the hospital. They'd given the family almost twenty minutes to themselves: grandparents, parents and children. Angela made the decision that that was long enough.
Knocking on the door, Aubrey peered into the room, regarding the group with a large smile.
"Angela got impatient." He chuckled, holding the door open for the other three as Booth motioned them into the room, Max and Marianne excusing themselves, unsuccessfully getting the children to follow with the promise of a cake from the cafe.
Christine and Henry sat either side of their mother on the bed, Parker perched on the arm of Booth's chair, the baby bundled in a pink blanket in her father's arms.
"How are you, sweetie?"
"Exhausted." Brennan smiled, "But, so happy."
"She's gorgeous, you guys." Hodgins murmured, watching the baby from Booth's side.
"What's her name?" Aubrey questioned, reaching out to run a finger across the baby's cheek.
They watched as the partners glanced at one another, both of them smiling before she nodded towards him.
"Her name is Addison Camille."
Eyes immediately went to Cam, frozen in place at the foot of Brennan's bed.
"D'you wanna hold her?"
At her nod, Booth stood, allowing Cam to take his seat before he settled Addison in her arms.
"Meet your goddaughter, Camille."
