First Christmas

Brennan opened her eyes, that little blurry confusion you get as soon as you wake up in the mornings was gone in a second, and a smile spread across her face as she remembered what day it was. She rolled over onto her other side "Merry Christmas Booth," she whispered, softly pecking him on the lips.

"Merry Christmas Bones," he said smiling back at her as he in turn opened his eyes.

"What's the time?" She asked softly, not wanting to wake the kids.

"4 am" Booth groaned quietly.

"Why are we awake so early?"

"What you mean bones is why are you awake so early, you woke me up," he said, still smiling.

"Well I didn't realize it was this early," she yawned, "otherwise I wouldn't have woken you,"

"On the bright side, We get a little bit of time before Parker and Lena come bounding in," He said smiling, kissing her again. "Merry Christmas," he whispered wrapping his arms round her delicate form.

"Love you," she whispered,

"Love you too, this is our first Christmas together," he said smiling. God it seemed like far more than that.

"How do you think Elena will be?" Brennan asked, shifting away from Booth a little, nervously.

"Hey, stop worrying Bones, she'll be just fine. In fact she'll be great she is going to love it, she loves you to pieces."

"It's her first Christmas without her mom, Booth," She said, he could see something else flash across her eyes and knew what she was thinking about.

"She's a smart kid," he said, running his hands through her hair, pushing it off her face, "Your parents disappeared, you didn't know what had happened to them - Elena knows that her parents aren't coming back,"

Brennan's eyes were filled with tears and she tried to push them back, today was supposed to be a happy day, not about a memory that was better left behind in the past. "Come here," Booth said, and cradled her in his arms, not saying anything. Sometimes it was better that way, it was her first Christmas for a very long time, that involved a proper kind of family. And it was Elena's first Christmas with what the sweet auburn haired girl called her 'new family'. And he intended to make it a special one.

They lay together, dozing in and out of consciousness in each other's arms for about an hour, then a little girl's voice shortly followed by a boys one, shrieking.

Elena was the first to burst into their room, "Mommy, mommy wake up! Wake up! Santa's been! Santa's been!"

Booth had never seen Brennan smile so widely, in that moment as Elena jumped onto their bed and straight into her arms. "Merry Christmas butterfly," she said laughing as the girl knocked her back. Beside her, Booth was getting the same treatment from Parker, "Dad! My stocking's full! Santa's been, he filled it!" he exclaimed, his eyes shining with that childish excitement that parents get the joy of seeing on Christmases and birthdays.

"Do you think we should let them open their stockings bones?" He asked, winking at her.

Brennan looked thoughtful for a little while, "Please mummy!!!" Elena said, putting her hands together and begging, and Parker joined her.

She pointedly looked at Booth, "I suppose, we could let them, seeing as it is Christmas..." Brennan said smiling as Parker raced out the room, shortly followed by a hyperactive Elena.

About 30 seconds later they arrived back in their room, and after a little bit of help, raised their really rather full stockings onto the bed.

After about five minutes, wrapping paper was littered round the room, and presents were flung everywhere.

Elena had a book on butterflies open on her lap, and was sat on Brennan's. She was staring at the book intently, and even Parker was looking half interested in the book, even with the toys that were surrounding him.

Parker crawled across the bed to sit right next to Elena, and beckoned towards him. He cupped his hands round his mouth, and whispered something non decipherable in Elena's ear. Her eyes lit up again, and she and Parker raced out the room.

"Where are they going?" Brennan asked Booth, as a knowing smile spread across his face,

"And three..."

"Booth!"

"Two..."

"Wha-?"

"One..." Children's delighted squeals filled the house and Booth laughed. "They went to look under the Christmas tree Bones,"

She smiled, and they both got out of bed. They came down the stairs, to two kids in absolute awe of the Christmas tree, and all the presents surrounding it.

Brennan looked at Booth, and he cast an arm over her shoulder. Parker turned round, his face making both of them laugh. "Thank you dad! And Dr. Bones!"

Elena turned around, she didn't say anything, but just ran to Brennan who knelt down and caught her, squeezing her tightly. "Do you like it then?"

Her eyes were wide, shining with excitement, "Yes!" she squeaked.

Brennan laughed again and just hugged her. "Mommy," Elena whispered in her ear, "I love you,"

Brennan eyes were suddenly very full of tears, and she couldn't help it when several rolled down her cheeks, "I love you too butterfly, I love you too,"

Awwh, i love Elena.

Hannah???
