CHAPTER FOUR: To Reach The Target

"So what are we looking for at Target Sweets?" Parker asks as we drive down the busy streets of DC in my Camry.

I shrug "Well anything that we can use for costumes and a black maternity dress for Daisy"

Christine leans over "We need to make my baby duck costume Uncle Sweets" she pipes in.

I nod "Don't worry I'm not planning on forgetting you anytime soon" I reply as I smile at the young girl in the windscreen mirror.

I pull the car over in the Target parking lot and we all pile out. Daisy smiles at me and walks over to my side. She steps towards me and grabs my hand. I lean over and lay my free hand on her baby bump and smile.

"We're gonna be one great family Lancelot" Daisy whispers.

"I know baby and this is only the beginning" I reply.

Daisy nods and squeezes my hand. We walk into Target, along side the kids, hand in hand.

"Okay now time to separate into different groups, the kids you come with me to kids clothes and Daisy you go to the maternity clothing section and we'll meet you later okay?" I rattle off as though I was teacher on a school excursion.

Daisy smiles "See you three later" she says with a laugh before hurrying off.

The two kids turn to face me "So where to first? We need a yellow t-shirt and maybe some pants for young Christine," I say with a smile.

Christine nods "Awesome but can I have a piggy back?"

I just nod and help the young girl up onto my shoulders. "Hold on tight I don't want you falling off" I laugh as Parker and I hurry down the isles.

"So there is yellow, light yellow, dark yellow, orange. Oh Christine I don't know now women do this" I cry as I glance at the shelf covered in clothing. Not in all my twenty-eight years had I ever bought a three-year-old clothes so this was a first.

"Uncle Sweets you just get a yellow t-shirt like this one, look size three" she replies as she points to the size on the tag of the t-shirt.

I nod "Okay that looks simple, why don't we get you some yellow shorts. Hey these are super cute" I hold up some yellow denim shorts for Christine to see.

Christine smiles "Yeah they are cute. Let's get those ones and that t-shirt"

I grab the clothes and put them in a shopping basket before wandering over to the maternity clothing section to meet up with Daisy.

I watch my beautiful girlfriend walk towards me. She had a dress or something slung over one arm and was cradling her pregnant stomach. I wave and hurry over towards her.

"Did you find anything baby?" I ask as I tighten my arm around her shoulders.

Daisy just cuddles herself up to me and smiles "Yeah I got this black maternity dress that I can use as a vampire costume and I got some stockings"

"You're gonna look H-O-T on Halloween" I laugh.

Daisy just sighs and shakes her head "As hot as you can look when you're heavily pregnant"

We walk towards the checkouts. We had quite a bit of shopping to purchase and then we should be getting the kids back home.

A large old cashier smiles at us "Wow you two look a bit young to have such a big family" she says as she scans Daisy's maternity dress and stockings.

I shake my head "No, no you have us all wrong. These two are my colleague's kids and I'm babysitting. This is my girlfriend, she's pregnant with my first child"

The cashier shakes her head "Doesn't anyone believe in marriage before babies anymore?" she says disapprovingly.

"Well this wasn't all really planned but I hope to marry her when our little boy is a bit older and when the bank accounts have a bit more money in them" I say as I lay my hand protectively on Daisy's stomach.

"I thought that it couldn't have been planned, you look as though you are high-schoolers"

Daisy just shakes her head "Late twenties" she replies flatly as I pass my credit card to the woman.

After I paid Daisy and I glance at each other, I hoped that we wouldn't have stupid people asking us stupid questions for the rest of our baby's childhood.

"But I don't wanna go home yet Uncle Sweets!" Christine yells as I try my best to get the stubborn three-year-old out of the back of the car. She was tightly clinging on to the doorframe of the backseat of my Camry.

"Out, you'll see me soon enough and your Aunty Daisy is tired. She needs a rest" I reply.

"But I'm gonna miss you"

"Your mommy and daddy probably miss you too"

Christine nods and Parker finishes talking with Daisy. I lead the kids over to the front door and ring the doorbell.

The door flings open and a very flustered looking Temperance appears "Sweets can I just hug you? Thank God I'm plain exhausted"

I smile at her. Her hair was dishevelled and there was no make up at all on her face. "Booth still sick?" I ask

Temperance nods "Yes, well I was wondering if you could keep the kids at your apartment tonight, as long as that isn't a problem with either you or Daisy"

I smile "I doubt that that will be a problem with either of us, we love looking after your kids. Temperance do you want me to help you with anything to do with Booth"

Temperance sighs "No, no looking after the kids is a big enough favour in itself, if you would like to be paid for your services we can negotiate a deal"

"No, no I do it out of the kindness in my heart not for your money"

"Well okay if you insist"

I smile at Temperance; did she really think I did it for money?

Christine looks up at me curiously "Does that mean that I get to stay at your apartment with you and Aunty Daisy tonight?" she asks gleefully.

I nod "You and Parker have to go and grab your sleeping bags and toothbrushes and then we'll be off"

Christine looks from me to her mother then back to me "SLEEPOVER!" she cries as she enthusiastically grabs her brother's hand and whisks him into the house and up the stairs.

Temperance shakes her head "Someone seems very excited about this arrangement"

I nod "Yeah, I think she really did want to spend more time with Daisy and I. She is gonna love the baby when it's born"

"She'd make a good big sister, too bad Booth and I aren't planning on having any babies soon"

I raise an eyebrow "Well you never know, the last thing Daisy and I ever expected was a pregnancy but life is unpredictable"

Temperance shrugs "Well I suppose you're right I'm just going to have to accept what life throws at me"

AN: Hope you enjoyed.
