"Mommy, can we go to the diner?" Lily asked as they pulled out of their driveway two days later.

"Sure, honey." Temperance said, glancing into her rearview mirror at her twins.

"Mommy, I want pie." Anna said, trying to sit up more in her car seat, making Temperance chuckle.

"What's so funny, mommy?" Lily asked, her big brown eyes looking at her mother in the mirror.

"Nothing, Lil. Mommy just sees how much you and Anna are like daddy." Temperance told them as she unbuckled them.

"When is we gonna see daddy?" Anna asked, giving her mother her best puppy-dog face as they entered the diner.

"Sweetie, I don't know…" Temperance began to say.

"Mommy, someone's in our booth." Lily said, putting her little fists on her hips and looking up at her mother, her auburn pigtails swaying as she moved her head.

"Let's go, Lily. They'll move for cute little twins like us." Anna said, grabbing her sister's hand and pulling her.

"Anna! Lily!" Temperance shouted. The twins, however, walked right up to the father and son and began to talk to them.

"Excuse me mister, but this is where me and my sister and my mommy sit." Anna said, looking up at the tall man with chocolate brown eyes and light brown hair.

"Oh, well I'm terribly sorry, miss." The man replied sweetly as he scooted out, grabbing his jacket. "Come on Parker. We can sit somewhere else."

"Dad, don't they look familiar?" Parker asked as he got out of the booth, staring at the two little girls who were waiting patiently.

"Yeah, I guess." Booth began to say, until he saw who had sat across from the little girls. It was a woman with auburn hair, who was holding the side of her jacket up so he couldn't see her face. He could still tell who it was, however. "Bones?" He said, pulling down the jacket and watching Temperance's face go pale.

"Oh, hey Booth." She said nervously.

"Mommy, we want cherry pie." Anna said as she and Lily pretended to read the menus.

"Ok, Anna." Temperance said quietly.

"So this is Anna?" Booth asked calmly, gesturing towards the little girl that was closest to him. "And let me guess…Lily?" He said, pointing to the little girl identical to Anna.

"Wow, you're smart, mister." Lily said, her brown eyes filled with excitement.

"Thank you, miss." Booth said, taking a chance. "May we join you, Bones?" He asked. She shrugged and nodded her head, and Booth sat down next to her while Parker sat next to Anna.

"Anna! Lily!" Temperance shouted. The twins, however, walked right up to the father and son and began to talk to them.

"Excuse me mister, but this is where me and my sister and my mommy sit." Anna said, looking up at the tall man with chocolate brown eyes and light brown hair.

"Oh, well I'm terribly sorry, miss." The man replied sweetly as he scooted out, grabbing his jacket. "Come on Parker. We can sit somewhere else."

"Dad, don't they look familiar?" Parker asked as he got out of the booth, staring at the two little girls who were waiting patiently.

"Yeah, I guess." Booth began to say, until he saw who had sat across from the little girls. It was a woman with auburn hair, who was holding the side of her jacket up so he couldn't see her face. He could still tell who it was, however. "Bones?" He said, pulling down the jacket and watching Temperance's face go pale.

"Oh, hey Booth." She said nervously.

"Mommy, we want cherry pie." Anna said as she and Lily pretended to read the menus.

"Ok, Anna." Temperance said quietly.

"So this is Anna?" Booth asked calmly, gesturing towards the little girl that was closest to him. "And let me guess…Lily?" He said, pointing to the little girl identical to Anna.

"Wow, you're smart, mister." Lily said, her brown eyes filled with excitement.

"Thank you, miss." Booth said, taking a chance. "May we join you, Bones?" He asked. She shrugged and nodded her head, and Booth sat down next to her while Parker sat next to Anna.

"Anna, Lily, this is Boo…Seeley Booth. And this is Parker." Temperance introduced them. Anna and Lily stuck their hands over the table and Booth shook them.

"My name is Annabelle, but everyone calls me Anna." Anna said as she shook Parker's hand.

"And my name is Lilian, but everyone just calls me Lily or Lil." Lily said, gently shaking Booth's large hand.

"Nice to meet you." Booth said, looking into Lily's big brown eyes.

"I think Seeley is a funny name." Lily said, giggling along with Anna.

"Lilian Joy!" Temperance scolded, looking at Booth with an embarrassed look on her face. "They're very outgoing twins."

"That's ok. I think it's a funny name too." Parker said, chuckling at the small girls.

"Ha ha, Parker." Booth said, looking sarcastically at his son. "You can just call me Booth, girls. That's what your mommy calls me." He said, stealing a glance at Temperance as the waitress took their order and Anna and Lily giggled. Temperance excused herself for a brief moment and headed for the bathroom.

"So, how old are you girls?" Booth asked. Little did Temperance know, he was going to find out about these little girls by asking them questions. They were too young to shut him out like Temperance.

"Five years old." Lily said as the waitress delivered their pie. "Thank you Ellie." She told the waitress.

"You're welcome Lily. You too, Anna." Ellie told them. Those little girls went to the diner everyday after their mother was done at work, so all of the waitresses knew them.

"And what is your full name, Anna?" Booth asked as he dug into his cherry pie, Anna and Lily matching his behavior as they too started to eat their pies.

"Annabelle Nicole B—"

"Brennan." Temperance said as she quickly covered her daughter's mouth, getting cherry juice all over her hand. "Her name is Annabelle Nicole Brennan." She said, glaring at her daughter, who simply shrugged and continued to eat her pie.

"Mommy, I don't feel good." Lily said, holding her stomach with one hand and pushing her plate away with the other, which was odd because of her love of pie.

"What's wrong, Lily?" Temperance asked, reaching across the table and feeling her daughter's forehead, which was burning up at the moment. "Oh honey, I think you have a fever."

"You should take her home." Booth said, moving and allowing Temperance to get out of the booth.

"Yeah, come on girls." Temperance said as Parker let the girls out.

"Mommy, I want to stay with Booth and Parker." Anna whined, stomping her little feet and looking up at her mother, her bottom lip sticking out.

"Sweetie, I don't think Booth and Parker want a little girl with them…"

"It's fine, Bones." Booth said, catching Temperance by surprise. "We can wait until she finished her pie, then I'll drive her home."

"Booth…"

"What, don't you trust me, Temperance?" Booth asked, stepping extremely close to her.

"Of course I trust you…"

"Then let your daughter finish her pie." Booth said, his breath hot on her face. "I know I get cranky when I don't get to eat my pie." He said as he stepped back next to Anna.

"Please Momma?" Anna begged.

"Fine." Temperance caved, pulling a piece of paper and a pen out of her purse. "I live in a different house now. Here's the address." She said, handing him the paper. "See you when you get home, Anna." She said, kissing Anna's cheek.

"I love you mommy." Anna said as she got back into the booth to eat her pie. "Bye Lily!"

"Love you too Annabelle. Bye Booth." She said, turning to leave. "And Booth?" She added. "Thank you."

"Anytime, Bones." Booth said, giving her the charm smile that she had missed so much. "So Anna, what kind of pie do you like?"

"Any kind. Me and Lily love pie. Mommy says that it's just like our daddy." Anna said as she shoved another mouthful of pie into her mouth.

"Did your mommy tell you who your daddy was?" Booth asked, getting intrigued in the little girls answers. Parker sat next to Anna, and was just as interested in the five-year-old's answers to his father's questions.

"Not really. She just said that he was really nice, and brave, and warm." Anna said, looking up at Booth with her big brown eyes.

"Warm?" Parker asked as he brushed his blonde curls out of his eyes.

"Well, mommy said hot, but warm and hot are kinda the same thing, right?" Anna asked, looking back and forth from Parker to Booth.

"Sure." Booth said, trying not to laugh as Anna swallowed her last bite of her cherry pie. "You ready to go?" He asked.

"Yup." Anna said as she quickly scooted out of the booth and waited for Parker and Booth. "Booth, do you like my mommy?"

"Uh…what?" He asked, a blush creeping up his neck. "Yeah, she was my partner." He said, making Anna's face light up.

"Now I know who you are!" She squealed. "Auntie Angela said that mommy's old partner loved her!" Booth realized where this conversation was going and tried to usher Anna into the car.

"Let's get you home." Booth said, putting his large hand on her shoulder and guiding her out the door.

"But if you were mommy's old partner, then you must've loved her!" Anna shouted, spinning around to look at Booth. "Do you still love her?"

"Anna…"

"Dad, you're not getting out of this unless you answer." Parker said, putting his hand on his father's shoulder. "She's a persistent little kid."

"Annabelle…well…yes. I do still love your mommy." Booth said as he picked her up and carried her out into his car.

"Well then tell mommy so you and her can get married and you can be me and Lily's new daddy." Anna said excitedly as she held her arms out, palms up.

"Anna, maybe I'll tell her some other time. You're not going to tell mommy, are you?" Booth said as he hooked her into Parker's old car seat, which he had neglected to take out of his SUV for quite some time now.

"Nope." Anna said, proud that she knew a secret. "But can I tell Lily?"

"Uh, sure." Booth answered, shutting the door and getting into the driver's side.

"Booth, I hope you and mommy get married, because then maybe me and Lily can get another brother or sister." Anna said excitedly, making Booth cough wildly.

"Dad, you ok?" Parker asked sarcastically, enjoying the embarrassment his father was going through.

"I'm fine." Booth said as he pulled the piece of paper Temperance had given him out of his jacket pocket. When he finally found the house, his jaw dropped. Before, Temperance had lived in a large apartment. Now, Temperance, Anna and Lily lived in a large house. He pulled into the driveway and stared at her new Ford Mustang in front of the garage.

"Booth, can I get out?" Anna asked, growing impatient as Booth stared at the large house.

"Oh yeah. Sorry Anna." Booth said, quickly getting out and unbuckling Anna. He set her on the ground, but she remained standing next to him. "What's wrong?" He asked, looking down at her.

"I want you to carry me." She stated simply.

"Oh." He said as he picked the small girl up and settled her on his hip. He then walked up to the large French doors and knocked three times.

"Come in." He heard Temperance shout from inside. He opened the door and again his jaw dropped because of how large the house was. "We're in the living room." He heard her shout again. He set Anna on the ground and she ran off down the hallway. He followed her, and when he saw her turn into a large room, he followed her. In the room there was a large sofa in the middle, along with a huge television mounted on the wall. Temperance was lying on the couch with Lily, who looked like she felt a little better.

"How are you feeling, Lily?" Booth asked as he watched Anna lay down next to her mother.

"Better now. I throwed up." Lily said meekly as she sat up.

"Booth, thanks again for keeping Anna at the diner." Temperance said, offering a spot on the couch for him.

"You're welcome, but I can't stay. Parker's waiting in the car." Booth said, holding his hand up and turning to leave.

"Wait!" Anna yelled as she ran towards Booth. "Bye-bye Booth." She said as she hugged his legs. "Will you be at the Jeffers tomorrow?" She asked, looking up at him. Booth chuckled when he realized that she meant the Jeffersonian.

"Uh, I think so." Booth said as he smiled at Temperance. "Bye girls." He said as he quickly waved and exited the large house.
