Dinner and Pie

They had just finished the mac 'n' cheese, the full bowl gone thanks to the two Booth men and there big appetites. Booth was walking back towards the table with an apple pie in one hand and a bowl of ice and jelly in the other.

"So what you think of my mac 'n' cheese then" Booth said as he placed the bowls on the table.

"Mine's is better" Both Brennan and Christina said at the same time, the women just looked at each other and laughed.

"Gees thanks," Booth said he handed his mum and dad a slice of pie.

"What Booth, if you had followed the recipe as I had written it, it would have been just as good as mine." Brennan commented "You didn't because i could taste basil and i told you to use coriander"

"The shop had run out of coriander, so I improvise" Booth defended himself, "So it wasn't my fault"

"But it was still nice Booth, just mine was better" Brennan said with a smile on her face

"So the friend that gave you the recipe was Tempe?" Christina asked her son

"Yeah it was Bones" Booth answered as he placed the bowl of ice cream and jelly in front of Brennan and placed the rest of the pie in the middle of the table.

"And when you called me and said that you have tasted mac 'n' cheese that just might be better than me, that was Tempe's too? His mum still quizzed

Booth groaned "Yeah mum that was Bones"

"Oh right, so Tempe I must ask, on top of the mac 'n' cheese do u use..."

"Grated cheese and breadcrumbs" they both said that same time.



"You must give me this recipe for mac 'n' cheese." Christina said, "I just have to try it."

"Well if you want next time your in town I will make some for you both and give it to Booth" Brennan offered

"No you could bring it yourself, and I could bring down some of mine too" Christina exclaimed, "That way we could both try each others and compare them!"

"Don't worry Tempe, she just get very excited over recipes, especially new one" James laughed as he took a bite of the pie.

"Bones you better hurry up or your ice cream will melt soon," Booth said he took another slice of pie

"Ice cream and jelly, I haven't had this since I was like 5" Brennan exclaimed.

"Don't worry dad, she just get very excited over ice cream and jelly" both the Booth men broke out laughing, Brennan and Christina just exchanged looks, and tucked in to their desserts.

"James don't you dare eat that, that will be your 3rd slice of pie" Christina scolded him.

"And don't you even think of taking it either Booth, you have already had 3 slices as well" Brennan scolded Booth too as he eyed up the last slice of pie sit in the middle of the table.

"Aww come on Bones, it the last slice" Booth wined.

"Yeah please Chrissie, it's the last slice" James wined too.

"We said no, the last slice should be mine since both you greedy pigs have had 3 each, so Seeley just you go and put that in a box for me to take home tomorrow." Christina said

Booth sighed "Mum…" he wined

"Seeley James Booth you cut that wining out right now, go put that in a box for me and while you up get another bottle of wine for me and Tempe and get your dad another beer" Christina said.

"Now who is the one in trouble?" James laughed.

"Not fair, I wanted the last piece" Booth muttered as he walked away with the last slice of the most delicious pie had ever eaten; well the diner did do the best pie ever. Maybe I could just eat it and then just go to the diner in the morning before she wakes up and get another slice, Booth though, yeah that's what I will do, she will never know.

"Don't you be muttering under you breathe now Seeley, and get all thoughts of eat that last slice out your head, that is mine" Christina scolded Booth again,

"See that boy, honestly" Christina stated. "Do you know he has done that before" Christina started "My mum had made us a blueberry pie, James was working late so I was just me Seeley and his brother Jared."

"No mum not another story" Booth said as he came back to the table with the bottle of wine and 2 beers.

"Why don't you two go and watch the Hockey and leave me and Tempe here to have a little chat. Eh?"

"Get the feeling your not wanted son." James said as he came round to stood beside Booth, "Come on, think we may be able to catch the 3rd period of the Chicago – Penguin game" James said as he made his into the living room, Booth frowned and looked at Brennan, she nodded her head, giving him the ok that she would be fine. Booth smiled at Brennan and walked into the living room. He turned too quickly to see the smile forming on her face.

"You do that often, do you? Christina asked.

"Huh, sorry, what was that" Brennan asked.

Christina let a small laugh escape as she smiled at Brennan. "You do that often," she repeated "communicate with each other, although no one talks" she explained.

"No, we..." Brennan started

"Yeah you do sweetheart, I have been here a few hours now and you have done it several times. You might not even realize it but you do." Brennan started to fidget with her wine glass. "He understands you, you know that don't you?" Christina asked.

Brennan gulped down the last of her wine, "Yeah I know he does, sometimes a little to well" she answered and even she seemed surprised with her honest answer.

"Well that Seeley for you, he always know how to wiggle his way in to everything" Christina said as she topped up their glasses. "Even the places we don't want him to get to."

"Yeah he does" Brennan agreed, "but anyway on with the story so it was just the three of you for dinner…"

Christina smiled, she knew when she hit close to home and then change in conversation told her that she had said enough, "Yeah so it was just the 3 of us for dinner that night and I had called James to let him know I left the last slice of pie on the table for him. So when he got home just after midnight he went into the kitchen to have his slice of pie before going to bed and he waked into the kitchen and there was Seeley sitting at the table fork in hand, just about to have the last bite of the pie, it took James a week before he would talk to Seeley again." Christina laughed, "Still don't think he has really got over it. They always fight for the last slice."

"That is defiantly Booth, he had this unhealthy obsession with pie" Brennan laughed. "Every time we go to the diner he had to have a piece of pie, I don't like it, too sweet"

Booth was worried, it had been very quite for the past half hour and he was getting concerned, they were up to something, he could just sense it, and it didn't feel good. He couldn't even concentrate on the game.

"Go check on her, I know you want to" James teased Booth.

"Huh?" Booth asked.

"She is fine, it's only your mum, but you won't be happy till you go and see she is ok, so go check on her, so I can get back to watching the game in peace without you turning every few minutes," James said as he gave Booth a helpful shove off the couch.

As he walked closer to the dinner room, he could hear her laugh, god I love it when she laughs.

Booth stood between the 2 rooms, just listening to them talking, his mum telling another story, this one about him and Jared fighting. She was with his mum, of course she was fine. Your being stupid Seel, its you mum she is with not a psychopath, He made his way back to the couch, but not without one last look, just incase.

"Told you she would be fine," James said, eyes never leaving the screen.

"Yeah" Booth said as he nodded his head and smiled, "She is."

The game had not long finished when Brennan and Christina walked over to the couch.

"Right James I think its time for us to go to bed" Christina said.

"Ok" James said as he came and stood beside his wife, "Well Tempe it was lovely meeting you and cant wait to try your mac 'n' cheese now." James said as he gave Brennan a hug.

"See you in the morning son" James patted Booth on the back as he made his way to Parker's room where Booth had made up the room for them.

"Well Tempe, it had been a really pleasure, and don't you go making yourself a stranger to us now" Christina said she pulled Brennan into a hug.

"It was lovely meeting you too, I won't and thanks" Brennan said as she returned the hug.

"Seeley you make sure she gets home ok" Christina said she kisses him on the cheek.

"Night kiddies". She called as she closed the bedroom door.



"One more glass and then I will go" Brennan said as she sat on the couch. "Booth do you mind getting me one" she said holding her glass out for him to take.

"Gee Bones, what you last slave die of?" Booth asked

"Don't know but I think my new slave will die of embarrassment if he doesn't get me wine" Brennan laughed.

"Oh so you know how to make jokes then" Booth said eyebrow raised.

"Only at your expense" Brennan laughed, "So about that wine," she said shaking her glass.

Booth took the glass from her hand and huffed. "I swear Bones you tell anyone those stories and I'll..."

"And you'll what Booth?" Brennan said as she stood from the couch and walked over to Booth. "Because we both know that I can kick you ass, so if you were you I would get the wine for me."

"You can not kick my ass Bones, you would only win cause I wouldn't hit you" Booth said as he started to walk to the kitchen.

"You just keep telling you self that Booth" Brennan said as she sat on the couch waiting on her slave to come back. Seeley Booth as my own personal slave think I like the sound of that, Brennan though as Booth came to sit beside her and handed her the glass of wine. Yeah I really like the sound of that.

Well hope you all enjoyed that.
