73. Bed
Returning home to silence was a rare occurrence in the Booth home, especially when Michael was over. Parker had collected Henry and Addison from school, the invitation had been extended to the two teenagers who'd declined it.

Booth and Brennan, returning from the lab where he'd spent the day following her around limbo while they brainstormed ideas for her next book, entered the house, carrying several bags of takeout, still bickering over the characters in her book.

"Bones, I am not going to let you break up Kathy and Andy."

When he turned to her, a large smile present on her face, he scowled.

"You were joking weren't you, Bones? Okay, that wasn't funny."

"Your reaction was very amusing, Booth." She laughed, "Christine, Michael! We bought takeout!"

When there was no reply they both looked up in confusion. Walking down the hall to Christine's bedroom they both stopped, mouths gaping in shock. Christine and Michael were curled up in the middle of her bed, swamped by blankets, taking up barely half of the double bed.

"Bones, I don't have my gun on me right?"

"Booth!"

The exclamation awoke them, both groaning sleepily, burrowing deeper into each other and the blankets. Murmuring slightly Christine shifted, lips brushing across Michael's until he was returning the kiss.

Clearing his throat, Booth held back a smile as they both startled, immediately darting away from one another.

"Hey guys."

"Hi Daddy."

"We bought takeout, it's in the kitchen."

With that Booth tugged on Brennan's hand, pulling her back towards the kitchen.

"Christine?" Booth called, grinning widely at Brennan.

"Yeah, Daddy?"

"No funny business in the house. Michael?"

"Yeah, Seeley?"

"Hurt her, and I shoot you."

"Booth!" "Dad!"
