"Mommy, can we go to the North Pole for vacation?"

"Why do you want to go to the North Pole?"

"To see Santa and the elves and how they make toys."

Brennan smiled and tucked Hank in, "Sweetheart, we can't go to the North Pole."

"Why?"

"Because it takes a long time to get there."

"How long?"

"About 15 hours."

"Two days?"

"No, a little less than a day."

"Then why can't we go there?"

"Because most of the North Pole is covered with ice most of the year and it's hard to get there. Santa can fly through it because the sleigh and reindeer are magic…"

"Oh okay, but I wanna see Santa!"

"Shh sweetheart, you can see him in a few months at the mall like always..."

"Can I see him more than once?"

"We'll see. Right now, you need to go to sleep."

"K." Hank rolled on his side, Brennan ran her fingers through his hair and kissed his head.

Brennan poked her head in Christine's room, telling her she had a half hour until bedtime.

Brennan sat next Booth, he put his arm around her. "Hank down?"

"Yes, I told Christine she has a half hour until bed. "

'I'll go tuck her in…."

"Okay. Hank wants to go to the North Pole for vacation. He wants to see Santa and the elves and see them make the toys."

Booth laughed "can you even go to the North Pole?"

"Yes, but only for a few months of the year because of the ice."

"Talk to 'Ange maybe she can make video of the North Pole with Santa like she did of the Louvre for Cullen's daughter…"

"Booth, Santa and that version of the North Pole doesn't exist…"

"But Ange could create it. Just talk to her…"

B&B

The next afternoon Brennan knocked on Angela's office door, the artist looked up, "Hey Sweetie, no lunch with Booth today?"

"No, he has a meeting, he's bored he keeps texting me."

"Aww poor Booth. "

"Yes, he doesn't handle downtime well. You're not having lunch with Hodgins?"

"No, he's getting fitted for a new chair, I don't go along anymore. He knows what he needs and wants. I think he likes that I don't go with him anymore it gives him a little more independence and control over the situation."

"Yes. I have a favor to ask, it might not be possible…"

"What?'

"Hank wants to go to the North Pole for vacation to see Santa and the elves and see how they make toys…"

"Aww little kids are the best…"

"Yes. Hank's vacation wish is impossible to grant, but Booth thought you might be able create something for him. Something like you did for Amy Cullen when you created the Louvre for her to see…."

Angela smiled, "give me a couple days and I'll have a virtual tour of Santa's workshop set up for Hank."

"Thanks Ange."

"You're welcome, Sweetie. Wanna go grab lunch?"

"I would but Christine packed my lunch after she heard Booth tell me his meeting would go through lunch. I have a peanut butter and honey sandwich, apple chunks she got carried away slicing, baby carrots, and fruit snacks."

"Aww. Enjoy."

Brennan nodded and left Angela's office.

B&B

Two days later Booth got Hank from daycare and the two of them headed for Brennan's office. Brennan turned her chair and pulled Hank onto her lap. " Hello Sweetheart, did you have a good day at daycare?"

"Yep. We played outside and then we finger painted."

"That sounds fun."

"Uh-huh. I didn't finish my snack."

"That's okay. Remember a few nights ago when you asked me if we could go to the North Pole?"

"Uh-huh."

"We can't go there, but aunt Angela was able to ask Santa if you could visit the North Pole on her computer…"

"Can I?"

"Yes, I'll take you to her office now."

"Yeah ."

Brennan stood up and carried Hank to Angela's office.

"Aunt Angela, you talked to Santa?"

" Hi baby Booth. Yes, grown-ups can talk to him once a year for very special reasons. I told him that you wanted to visit the North Pole to see how he and the elves make toys. He said since it's hard for people to visit the North Pole that he would talk to you over the computer and show you the workshop and how the elves make toys…"'

"Yea!" Brennan smiled and went to set Hank down in Angela's office chair she'd put in front of the Angla-tron. "Hold me, Mommy…."

Brennan kissed Hank's forehead and sat down, settling him in her lap.

Angela smiled and hit a few buttons on her keypad and brought Santa and the North Pole to Hank.
