Happiness

Brennan stacked the dishes in the sink to be rinsed while Booth cleaned up Christine. "She gets more on her than in her half the time." He laughed as his daughter swatted at his hands grumpily. "Come on, kiddo. Let Dad clean your face."

"She doesn't like it when we use the washcloth on her face, Booth. Give it to her and let her do it herself. You can get the places she missed in the bath later." Brennan smiled at the picture her family made as she began to stack the plates in the dishwasher. "A little mashed potato on her cheek won't hurt her."

Booth agreed, handing the little girl the cloth and smiling as she squealed in victory. "This from the woman who used to make me sterilize the clippers before I cut the baby's fingernails."

"Well, I eventually realized I was being a little overprotective." She shook her head when Booth's eyes widened comically. "A little, I said."

"Yeah, well…" He winked at his wife as he released Christine from her high chair. "You're a good mom, Bones. It's okay to be overprotective. She's your baby."

Brennan, unexpectedly moved at Booth's words, smiled. "Thank you, Booth."
