Dinner for 4

It was it was just after 5pm when they got back to Brennan's apartment. They had stopped off at Booth's to pick up a few changes of clothes for him and Parker.

"Right, what do you want to do first? Should we shower and then make dinner, or what?" Booth asked Brennan as they made their way into the kitchen. They placed the bags on the work top, as Parker followed behind them, carrying his car.

"Well dinner will only take about half an hour to make so how about I go first and then Parker next, that way we can start dinner while you shower and get ready." Brennan said as they unpacked the groceries.

"You really are a genius." Booth said. "Now go shower and I will finish putting these away."

"Yes, sir." Brennan laughed as she walked away.

"Daddy, can I play with my car now?" Parker asked as Booth finished putting the groceries away.

"Sorry Parker but you can't just now. You know how Bones and I said that her dad was coming to dinner?" Booth asked. Parker nodded his head. "Well, we have to get ready for that, so Bones is going to shower, then you can have your bath. That way when I go for my shower you and Bones can start on dinner. So you might not get to play with it until tomorrow now."

"Ok, but you promise I can play with it tomorrow?" Parker asked, his big brown eyes shinning up at Booth.

"Yeah bud, I promise." He said as he ruffled Parker's hair.

"Can I watch TV while we wait on Bones then?" Parker asked, already settling on the couch.

"Yeah" Booth said, settling beside him, thankful that Brennan bought a new TV.

Half way though Spongebob Square Pants, Brennan came out the shower.

"Please can I just watch the other half, please daddy" Parker asked turning the eyes on again.

"Ok, but then you really have to shower." Booth said.

"Promise" Parker said as he nodded his head.

An hour and half later, Brennan and Parker were both shower and dressed and started to prepare dinner when Booth went for his shower.

Booth had just finished putting his shirt on when the doorbell rang. He came out of the bedroom as Brennan walked out of the kitchen. Brennan smiled at Booth as she continued walking towards the door. She opened the door and there stood Max Keenan with a bunch of daisies and a bottle of red wine.

"Hi dad." Brennan greeted his as he passed her the flowers.

"Hello sweetheart." Max replied as he place a kiss on her cheek.

"Max." Booth said as he stepped forward.

"Booth." Max said as he put his hand out. Booth went to shake it when Parker came running in and stood between the two men.

"Hi Mr. Kee... Kee" Parker struggled to remember his name. Parker turned to Booth and pulled on his hand. Booth bent down to Parker level as Parker leaned in and whispered, "How do you say his name again?"

Max looked at Brennan and then back at the little boy. Max opened his mouth to speak when Brennan placed her hand on his arm and shook her head. Booth whispered back to Parker and stood up. Parker turned back round to face Max again.

"Hi Mr. Keenan, I'm Parker" he smiled and stuck his hand out.

"Hi Parker, I'm Max." he replied as he shook the little boy's hand. "Well it's lovely to finally meet you, I have heard so much about you." Max smiled at the little boy.

"That's 'cause I am Bones's favorite" Parker said. "She told me that" He smiled.

"Really?" Max asked.

"Yep, she said it today when we went shopping to get stuff to make dinner, and my daddy got me this car. It's so cool. You wanna see?" Parker asked his brown eyes filling with excitement.

"You know what Parker I would love to but first let me just say hi to your dad, ok?" Max asked the little boy who was practily jumping with excitement.

"Okay Max, I will go get it. But I have to warn you, we can't open it" Parker said with a bit of disappointment in his voice.

"Oh, why not?" Max asked

"Cause you came over." Parker told him truthfully.

Brennan laughed as Parker ran off to get the car. Max look from Brennan to Booth, who just looked dumbstruck.

"It's not because you came Max, but if he got that thing open we wouldn't see him till dinner, that is if we could get him to sit for a total of 5 minutes." Booth explained.

"Don't worry Booth, I understand. Had a son of my own." Max laughed.

Brennan started walking towards the kitchen as Parker can back with his car.

"Look, isn't it so cool?" Parker asked as he and Max sat on the couch.

"Yeah it is" Max replied grinning at the little boy as he explained everything the car had.

"You want a beer Max?" Booth asked

"Yeah thanks." Max replied as he turned his attention back to Parker, who was now explaining about Callum and how his car would crush Callum's one.

Brennan and Booth heard the laugher roaring from Max and Parker in the kitchen.

"They seem to be getting on well." Brennan said.

"Yeah, they do." Booth smiled back. "You want a glass poured?" Booth asked as he picked up the bottle of wine Max brought.

"No not yet. I will wait until dinner." Brennan said, "That is if I ever get to finish it without my little helper." She said a bit louder.

"Oh, sorry Max, but I have to go help Bones with dinner!" Parker exclaimed as he got off the couch. "I'm her little helper." He said so proudly.

"Well what are you waiting for?" Max asked. "Go help!"

"Coming Bones!" Parker shouted as ran to the kitchen.

Brennan and Booth just laughed at his enthusiasm as he ran into the kitchen and picked up his apron and tied it on.

"Ready!" Parker said.

"Okay, wash your hands." Brennan said, as she placed a kiss on Booth's cheek. "Good luck." She whispered to him.

"Thanks." Booth said as he picked up the two beers and made his way into the lounge, where it was time for the father – boyfriend talk, he knew was coming.

"Here you go." Booth said as he sat on the chair, next to the couch.

"Thanks," Max said. "He's a great kid."

"Yeah he is. Can be a bit of a handful, but that's kids for you." Booth laughed.

"Yeah, he thinks the world of you and Bones." Max said, a smile playing on his lips.

"Yeah she is one special lady." Booth said, a grin appearing on her face at the mention of the lady that stole his heart.

"You break her heart, I break you." Max said all fun gone from his voice, just seriousness left.

"I know, but I don't plan on breaking it." Booth said, his voice matching Max's tone.

"Good, glad we got that out of the way." Max smiled again. "You know, I knew you were going to get together. She has never trusted anyone the way she trusts you." Max said, looking at the man, the man his little angel had giving her heart too.

"Yeah, it took me a long time to get in there and I never plan on letting go. She is one of the most important people in my life, has been ever since I met her and she will always be." Booth said.

"Yeah she has that effect on people, when they get past her exterior and she lets them know the real Temperance Brennan." Both men smiled at the thoughts they had of the wonderful woman they loved.

"She wasn't always like that, you know?" Max said, a sadness passing through his eyes.

"No?" Booth enquired.

"I remember one time, Tempe must have been about 10 or 11 and she was late getting home from school. She used to walk home with Cody Fitzpatrick, as he lived next door. So this one time she is an hour late coming home and her mum and I start worrying. So I go next door and see if Cody is home, so his mum tells me they are both in his room. I go upstairs to his room and open the door and there is Cody lying on the bed with a bandage round his arm. He shoots up straight and Tempe says, "I am the doctor and I already to you, you can't move until I say. You have a bad head injury and have broken your radius bone. Now lie back down….' And it's at this point she notices me. She had put on one of his dad's white shirts and written Dr. Brennan just above the pocket. She had guilt written all over her face and I had to bite my lip to keep from laughing."

"Dinner's ready!" Brennan called as her and Parker carried the bowl to the table.

Booth and Max started laughing, as Brennan came into the living room.

"What are you laughing at?" Brennan asked as she took off her apron.

"Oh, nothing, Max was just telling me some stories." Booth said trying to keep a straight face.

"Oh no, dad which one did you tell him?" Brennan asked the horror showing on her face.

"I only told him one and it was only about Cody" Max said trying to look innocent.

"You told him I had my first kiss with him?" Brennan shouted.

"No sweetheart I didn't, I told him about playing doctors, but you," Max was saying as he stood up, "told him about the kiss all on your own." Max laughed as he patted Brennan's shoulder and walked to the table where Parker was waiting patently.

"Well you never told me you played doctors with the boy next door" Booth smiled smugly.

"I… well… he…" Brennan stuttered.

"It's okay baby, we can play later if you'd like." Booth teased as he put his arm around Brennan, she shrugged his arm off and whacked him.

"Don't even start." Brennan said, giving him her death stare.

"Don't be like that." Booth smiled at her sweetly. "You know there is a saying payback is a bitch, and this, baby, is what's happening to you. Payback."

Brennan punched Booth in the arm as he walked away, "This isn't funny, Booth." Brennan said.

"Hurry up!" Parker shouted, "Dinner is getting cold!"

"Coming bud," Booth called out. "So, Max, what else can you tell me about Bones? Did she have a favorite teddy?" Booth said as he sat at the table.

Max laughed as Brennan stormed in, "Don't tell him anything dad." Brennan said.

"Ahh come on Bones, that's not fair." Booth teased.

"Yeah Bones, can you tell us then?" Parker asked as he turned on the big brown puppy dog eyes.

Booth smiled at Brennan cause he knew she couldn't refused Parker, especially when he pulled the eyes on her.

"Fine but only the teddy's name, and that's it. No more stories." Brennan said.

"There are more stories?" Parker asked, his excitement showing again.

How many times can that boy get excited? Brennan thought.

"Yep Parker, there are a few stories I can tell you about her." Max said.

"Oh no." Brennan groaned. With that she poured herself a large glass of wine.
