The Word
Bones and baby Christine spend time looking at photos of Booth
Disclaimer: I don't own anything...
Bones showed her daughter pictures of Booth. She didn't want Christine to forget about him, because she was hoping that not long from now they'd be able to return back home. She missed him, they both did. Tears filled up her eyes when the baby reached for a picture of her daddy and smiled happily. Bones let her take it, though she knew the kid would wrinkle. She just couldn't bring herself to care in that moment. Her daughter missed her father as much as she did her colleague, her partner. They spent the last years together, never apart for more than a couple of days and even then they would text.
But now –
She couldn't contact him, it would be too much of a risk. She couldn't contact any of her friends but one. Angela. Brennan left her flowers, hoping her best friend would understand the meaning behind them. If she'd been christian, she'd have prayed harder than anyone ever has. She's not, so she just hoped and relied on her faith in Angela.
Christine babbles something and tries to stick the photograph in to her mouth. Bones huffs out a short laugh and carefully unwraps the small hand from around the printed paper.
"Christine, don't", she said softly. "You'll ruin the picture. We wouldn't want that. See how happy daddy looks here. When you'll see him again he'll look even happier. Can you imagine that?", Bones murmured the words into her daughters ear.
"Dada!"
A grin spreads on the mother's face, so very proud of her little baby girl.
"Yes, dada", Bones said through tears. Tears that are a mixture of happiness and grief.
Christine's first word was evidence for just how much she missed her father.
