Temprence Brennan sat at her desk flipping through piles of paperwork, she had just finished a case involving two twin deaths and one deranged psycho killer. She looked at her watch and ran a hand through her hair, it was already 7:45 and she was getting hungry. Paperwork could wait till tomorrow she decided and grabbed her coat off of the back of her chair.
She turned the lights off in her office and closed the door shut behind her. As she made her way out of the Jeffersonian her mind drifted to her partner, he had asked her earlier that day if she had wanted to go to dinner with him and Parker. She had respectfully declined, deciding that going to dinner with Booth and his son would be way to awkward, but as she began to think about it company didn't sound to bad at the moment, maybe she should have said yes.
When she got to her car she contemplated on going to the diner but quickly turned the thought down, Booth and Parker were most likely there and she didn't want to run into them unexpectedly. She soon decided that something quick and cheap would do for the moment, there was a McDonald's on the way to her apartment, that would be good. When she got to the restaurant she made her way to the front counter thinking about what was cheap, healthy, and good enough to eat. When she had her food she went and sat down at a small booth, she opened up her salad lid but stopped short, Booth and Parker had just walked in the door.
Booth quickly spotted Brennan and made his way over to her."Hay Bones, what are you doing here? I never really saw you as the fast food type." Temprence looked at her partner with his son standing behind him shying away from her. She decided not to argue the fact that everyone enjoyed a splurge from there diet occasionally, and that she was no different from all of the other people in the world. "Yes Booth, occasionally I do eat fast food, but I didn't think you would be here I thought you hated McDonald's?" Booth nodded his head. "Yeah, but Parker loves it and it was his turn to pick the restaurant." Parker turned toward Brennan and spoke softly. "Daddy always likes to eat at the diner, but I like a change sometimes." Temperence smiled at the little boy. "He does dosen't he? How would you guys like to eat with me? I doubted my decision of turning down your offer to dinner, I'm kind of in the mood for a little company." Booth smiled at Brennan. "We would love to."
After Parker and Booth had seated themselves at her table with there food she continued her eating. Booth and Brennan talked about work and anything else that poped up, Parker soon warmed up to Temperence and joined the conversation eagerly. When they had all finished there dinner they made there way out of the restaurant and into the parking lot.
Parker jumped up and down between the two adults, hyper from his ice cream cone. "Can Dr. Bones eat with us tomorrow to, Daddy? Can she?" Booth looked down at his excited son and shook his head, maybe it wasn't to smart to let him have ice cream this late at night. It was going to be a chore getting him to sleep." That is up to Dr. Bones, you should ask her, Parker. You know I don't mind." Parker looked over at Brennan and grinned up at her. "Will you eat breakfast with us tomorrow? I like you, your smart you can teach me about animals, especially monkeys! I bet you know everything about monkeys!" "No thats OK Parker I wouldn't want to take away your time with your dad." Parker's face fell. "Please Dr. Bones! Daddy dosn't care, Pleeeeease!" Booth walked over to Parker and looked down at Temprence."Yeah, Bones, pleeeease!"
Brennan looked up at Booth and then down at Parker and smirked. "OK, I guess I could have breakfast with you." Parker jumped up."Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!!! Dr. Bones is going to love your eggs Daddy! I like them!" Booth walked over to Brennan. "I'll pick up at nine. I've got to get him home before he hurts himself. See you tomorrow." Booth left with Parker clinging to his hand and rapidly talking about anything and everything. Brennan sighed, what had she got herself into?
