AN: Here's a little bit of fluff for you all to enjoy. Thanks to redrider6612 for editing; I couldn't do this without her feedback and encouragement.
WARNING: This story is based on spoilers for Season 4, so if you want to be surprised, turn back now.
Max Keenan walked into the living room, took one look at his daughter, and knew. "Who did this to you, sweetheart? Who should I be talking to? Was it Booth?"
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
"You're pregnant."
"How can you tell?"
"You look just like your mother did when she was pregnant, and you're eating cherry ice cream. You hate fake cherry flavoring."
She looked at her bowl of ice cream and then shrugged. "So? From everything I've read, cravings are a normal part of pregnancy."
"Who's the father?"
"I'm not going to tell you. The nicest thing you'd do would be rough him up and you might kill him. I don't want that happening to the father of my baby."
Max looked unhappy.
"Besides, if it's anybody's fault, it's mine. I decided I was ready to reproduce. So I was artificially inseminated."
He stared at her in complete bewilderment for a moment. She'd been doing things her own way her whole life, including this apparently. She never ceased to surprise him.
"So you don't know who the father is."
"I didn't say that, Dad. I don't want some random man's baby. No, I selected a donor whom I know and approached him about it."
"So Booth is the father."
"How did you get from my approaching a donor to Booth? There are a wide variety of acceptable men amongst my acquaintance."
"I know you. You asked Booth. He's a good father to Parker and you'd want a good father for your child. He would never leave one of his children, and by extension you. You should tell him you love him, sweetheart."
She was not talking about this with her father. "How about a game of cards?"
