3 – Mango
Booth arrived home later than what he expected that evening, hoping that Brennan was already preparing something for dinner. He was starving. But when he stepped inside the house everything was dark, and to make things worse the fridge was almost empty.
"You have to be kidding me!" he whispered when he remembered that it had been his turn to make the shopping list for the week. In his defense it wasn't all his fault... it was just that with the lastest RICO case he hadn't been much at home.
He was already looking for the telephone number of that pizza place that Christine loved so much when his telephone rang.
"Booth."
"It's me" it was the voice of Brennan. "Christine and I are almost home. We just went to do some shopping."
"God bless that woman" thought Booth.
"We will be there in fifteen minutes so don't ever think about calling for takeaway food."
"How can you think that of me?" he said while putting the takeaway leaflets back in the drawer.
"Because I know you. See you soon. I love you."
"I love you too."
So takeaway definitely wasn't an option, but he was still hungry. Then he saw it and a big smirk appeared in his face. Exactly twelve minutes latter Brennan and a very tired Christine were home. The moment she saw his father the little girl run towards him.
"Daddy!"
"Hey princess."
"Sorry we are late" Brennan apologised after giving him a kiss.
"My fault. I should have done the shopping list this week."
"Are you hungry? I'm going to prepare something quick for dinner."
"I had something to eat, but I'm still starving."
Brennan looked at what was in his plate and ask confused "Is that fruit?" Booth looked at the half eaten mango and smiled "What can I say? I love mango."
