"Bones, the food's here…"

Brennan looked over and smiled at Booth standing in the doorway of Hank's room. "Okay, I'll be there in a few minutes."

Booth pushed off the doorjamb and walked over to Brennan and the rocker. "How's he doing?"

"I think his congestion is a little better. He's finally asleep. Hopefully the medication works this time and we don't have to go back to the doctor."

"That's good. I think he'll be better in the morning after a good night's sleep and meds."

"I hope so. I've never seen anyone so sick…"

"Me either. Thankfully the pediatrician was able to get him in this morning."

"Yes, otherwise we'd would have had to go to urgent care…" Brennan got up and put Hank in his crib. Booth followed her and they both tucked Hank in. Once Hank was down Booth followed Brennan the hall when she started towards the kitchen he put his hands on her shoulders. "let's eat on the couch like we used to when we'd have a shitty day at work and I'd bring food to your place or we'd go out."

"There were a few times I'd come to your apartment…"

"To get drunk…I ordered the food to soak up the alcohol so we wouldn't be too hungover in the morning…"

Brennan smiled, "Would you like a beer?"

"Sure. I got the food. Do you want a plate?"

"No."

Brennan joined Booth on the couch, she sat his beer and her glass of wine on the coffee able and picked up her container of tofu and veggies.

"Hopefully, Christine is having fun at Angela and Hodgins'"

"You know she is. They spoil our kids ."

"We spoil theirs too…"

"We do and I wouldn't want it any other way."

"Me either."

They talked and tried to make the best of the evening with one kid gone and the other sick. A few hours later Brennan was in Hank's room trying to console him. Booth came up behind her and wrapped his arm around her waist "Happy New Year, Bones."

"Happy New Year, Booth. this wasn't the New Year I had planned …"

"Me either. Next week when Hank's better you and I are going to go out to dinner at a nice restaurant without a kids menu and we're going to spend at least one night in a hotel."

"Looking forward to it." Brennan yawned

"Go to bed, Bones."

"I'll stay up with him, Booth."

"You were up with him all night last night, Bones. You're exhausted. I'll stay up with if he him tonight."

Brennan yawned again, Booth grinned a little and took a crying Hank from her. Brennan smoothed Hank's hair back from his forehead. "Feel better sweetheart. Come get me if he gets worse."

"I will. Come on, buddy., lets go hang out on the couch and watch T.V."
