In Which We Have Booth and Bones and A Baby. LET THE CUTENESS BEGIN.

Season 3, Episode 12

The Baby in the Bough

Ok, this one is especially amazing for me, because I'm one of those people. I'm one of those people who goes “BABYYYYYYYYYYYYY!” every time she sees a baby in any public place. I can't help it.

So naturally, this episode nearly makes me explode and get mushy fangirl goop everywhere.

Bones finally gets some real interaction with a baby. And, shocker of shocker, she starts to like it. Well, as she says, she starts to develop affection for the baby as a “natural bi-product of care-giving”, you know what, it's a start for someone who previously has been so against having a baby.

And Booth isn't really surprised when he sees her interactions with the baby, because he's known all along that once she actually got the chance to take care of a baby, she'd start to come around. Because he knows, better than anyone, that she's not really “as cold as everyone thinks”, as Bones says previously.

BOOTH: Yeah, okay. I know. I know. You know, with next year’s book, you should uh, you should get that second home in that town you saved. I mean, it only makes sense, right? Because every year, you know, plasmas, they go down, they get cheaper and cheaper–it happens all the time.

BRENNAN: Forget it.
BOOTH: What? I’m just saying. Andy’s going to miss his Auntie Bones. He’s going to want to see you. We could all go fishing, come back home, plop ourselves in front of that one hundred and three inch plasma screen of *heaven* and *football* and you can make the *five layer* dip.
BRENNAN: Seven layer dip.
BOOTH: Even better! Seven layers! Perfect! You can talk to Andy: hello Andy, little baby, little baby baby Andy–
(BRENNAN plugs his mouth with a pacifier. BOOTH sucks on it.)

FANGIRL MOMENT: I just love that part of the scene so much. Such a cute little pretty picture. <3
